The United States imports yearly nearly 900,000 worth of macaroni. Macaront wheats have been introduced in the lnst two years very successfully into the Dakotas, 50 fnto Kansas and Nebraska. In regard to the congressional seed dis- tribution, the secretary states that he has endeavored to meet the wishes of congress in every way possible and to secure seeds of as high a character as can be obtained under the conditions under which the worlk is done. 1t has been arranged to send out cotton seed, tobacco seed, sorghum seed and sugar beet plants, under the direct ausplces of the department, and not through the contractor Referring to the reclamation of alkall lande, been called in the reports of the sofl survey, the secrotary says that he is more and more convincad that to carry the lesson home to the individual it will be necessary for thé department ftselt to undertake al practical demonstration of the efficlency of | drainage. The necessity of a speclal study of climatology in connection with the sofl work I8 pointed out. ‘he time has come,” says the secretary, “when the work should be taken up on a scale commensurate with (he extension of at least two or three crop interests. It is certain that the immedinte benefit to the farmers will amply repay ex- penditure.'" | In the bureau of chemistry investigations | into the composition, nutritive value and adulteration of food products have been continued. This work duriug the year w devoted particularly to the study of pre- werved meats, the composition and nutritive value of the preservéd article being com- pared with the original, and the preserva- tives, If any were employed, determined. Food products imported Into this country and suspected of adulteration or of contain- ing injurious constituents, have also been examined. The secretary Is authorized to inspect, through the bureaw of chemistry, American food products intended for ex- port. Unfortunately, congress has not pro- vided appropriations adequate to the proper execution of this law. The secretary adds that it is important that our food products ®oing abroad be pure and wholesome, and 1hat we should protect our exporters against discrimination in foreign countries. The sugar laboratory of the bureau contlgues to study:all the chemical prob- lems relating to the production of sugar producing plants and the manufacture of sugar. The chief part of this work Is de- votdd to the study of sugar beets. Burean of Forestry. Anotber of the newly otyunized bureaus 1s that of forestry. During the year the work- ing plan for the Black Hills forest reserve was completed and working plans were un- dertaken for the Prescott and Big Horn and the Priest River reserves. The secretary reports as the result of a broad inquiry made through the office ot experiment stations that by far the largest part of the work of the stations has direct relation to the important agricultural in- teresta of the communities In which they are located. The work of the stations is be. coming better understood by the farmers, and a broader, deeper foundation of scien- tific inquiry s being lald each year. An focrease in college extension work in agriculture is noted and stress is lald on the movement for the establishment of sec- ondary schools of agriculture and the in- troduction of the elements of agriculture into the rural schools, as hopeful signs of progress In agricultural education. The secretary suggests that bis department, already giving aid to rural schoels in vari- ous ways, should take a still more active part In encouraging this work. He rec ommends encouragement by distributing #oeds and plants to establish school gar- dens, by furnishing schools with collections of specimens of insects, of plant diseases and other {llustrative material and by sup- Jalt Rheum It may become chronic.

He reviews very fully the great develop- ment in the work of farmers' institutes, In 1899 over 2,000 farmers’ institutes were held in this country, attended by over 500, 000 farmers. These were held in forty- three states and territories. The secretary thinks that there is room for much useful work by his department in ald of this and other movements for the education of our farmers in the improvement of our agri- culture. He has therefore asked for a spe- clal appropriation of $5,000 to enable the |offce of vxperiment stations to enlarge it | work with a view to giving definite ald and | encouragemont to farmers' institutes ‘n the differcnt states. | Irrigation Matte The secretary devotes a great deal of space to a discussion of frrigation fnvesdi- gatlons. These have beon conducted through the office of experiment stations and em- brace studles of irrigation laws and the | gocial and industrial Institutions of frri- gated agriculture, investigations of tho methods by which water Is conserved, dis- tributed and used. In reference to the first subject the sec- retary states that the character of the titles to water finally recognized will do more than all other influences combined to de- termine whether the western farmers ought to be tenants or proprietors. Natur- ally this makes the disposal of the water resources of the west a matter of vital fm- portance not only to the persons directly interested, but to the country at large. BEvery consideration which justified the gen- eral government in the control, the survey and disposal of publie lauds applies equally to the orderly and just establishment of titles to water by public authority, either state or national. He polnts out the con- tusion and trouble and almost endless 1iti- gation frequently attending the settlement of this questdon and declares it to be ab- solutely recessary that some simple and final method of determining and protecting rights to streams should be provided. In the meantime the conditions as they exist lu arld states are being carefully studied by the department, He reviews the influence of land laws on irrigation development, stating that laws which control the disposal of 500,000,000 acres of arid publlo lend must bave a vital fofluence upon the sugeess of Irri- gated agriculture He condemns ‘the des- ert land act, stating that 640 acres s more land than a man of moderate weans can cultivate under irrlgation. Cutting down the entries from 640 to 320 acres is an Im- provement, but he belleves n the entire re- peal of the desert land act and in requir- ing settlers or homesteaders to cultivate as well as live on their land. Grasing Lands, Referring to the grazing laude, he save probably 400,000,000 acres of the public do- maln has no agricultural value except for pasturage. It is at present an open com. mon, with no laws for its protection or dis- pofal. He refers to the frequent confilots of the farmers under irrigation with the range stockmen and recommends, as a re. medial and beneficial measure, the leasing of the grazing land in such & way not to interfere with the homesteader. The rentals, he belleves would amount in the aggregate to a large sum, which could be appropriately applied to the reclamation of the irrigable lands. He points out that such leas ie not an experiment, as It bas been successtully tried, although in a limited way, In Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nebraska, Utah and Wyoming He winds up the discussion of this subject by pre- sentlug the {ollowing conclusions First—That private enterprise will have to be supplemented by public ald in the construction of certain classes of irrigation work if we are to secure the largest de- velopment of western agriculture. Second—That reservoirs located fu the channels of running etreams should be pub- He work ‘Third—That the first step toward national ald for irrigation should be the passage of enlightened codes of water laws by the states to be benefited Fourth—That the land laws should be modified by repealing the desert act and by requirlug cultivation well as rest- dence on a homestead. Fifth—That the non-irrigable grazing lands should be leased in small tracts so a8 1o unite the irrigable and the pasture lands. Expor The bighest record previously attained in the export of agricultural products—in 18)8-—was surpassed by over $80,000,000 in the fiscal year of 1901, when A value of over §950,000,000 was reached. Of he mer- chandise sent abroad during the year 85 per cent originated on the farm. Of foreign ustomers for our agricultural products the United Kingdom stands first, taking over 50 per cent. The next most important mar- kets are afforded by Germany, France, the Netherlande and Belglum, in the order named. The section of forelgn markets has begun the preparation of @ most comprehen- aive report on the character of our agri- cultural importations recelved by the United Kingdom from countrics other than the United States. The jmportance of this re- port is evidenced by the fact that, large as were our exports to the United Kingdom, they comprised only one-third of the for- elgn farm produce purchased by that coun- try. Special statistfcs have been compiled by the section of forelgn markets relative to our trade in tarm products with our new insular posseskions.

The preliminary. details as to the finding of tha body, the location of furniture, blood stains, etc., were all in with the conclusion of the testimony of J. F. Drew, the capltol policeman who was on the stand when the court adfourned last Friday. Baker, the man who saw Mrs. Bonine descend the firo cacape; Hopkins, who roomed over Ayres and raised the first outcry; Miss Woolums who roomed under Ayres, and Miss Lawless and Miss Minas, who roomed on the other | #ide of him, testified today. The two lattar were regarded as star witnesses, but they testified to no facts not developed at the fn- queat Drew testified that there was room enough behind the door of Ayres' room for A wan to have been there while the door was opened to admit other persons: also that there ware empty cartridges in the s10p Jar In Ayres' room before the plstol was emptied by Ofeer Brady after the tragedy. This would tend to establish the theory of the defense that the pietol be- longed to Aypes.= Miss Minas testified that Ayres and Mre. Bonine ate ice cream snd cake in her room the night before the trag- edy and that at that time there was no evi- dence of {ll-feeling between them. Mre. Bonine throughout the trial today, when witnesses described the cries, groans and and throat gargling of the dylug man, re- mained absolutols. unmoved. At the opening of the trial this morning Frauk Drew, the capitol policeman, who was on the stand last Friday when the court adjourned, resumed his testimony. He swore that he had several times seen the defendant come out of Ayres' room. The last occasion was about a week before o | the tragedy. It was at night about © o'clock. On cross-examination he testi- fled that he looked over the transom into the room on the morning when Ayres' body was discovered. He was closely questioned as to tho location of the furniture, cloth- } | Ing atd the position of the body, to which he testificd upon direct examination. He testified that there was space enough be- hind the door ior a person to have stood there while the door was opened to admit another person. She Often Visited the Siek. He testified that he had seen Mre. Bonine come out of rooms of others in the hotel, .| among them those of several wingle men, and her demeanor was in no wise different n | from that when he saw her emerge from Ayres' room. She displaved no evidences of excitement. Her bearing was natural. . | She had & habit of visiting the sick. On cross-examination he testified that there were cmpty cartridge shells in the slop jar on his first visit to the room, which was before Officer Brady broke the pistol and took the shells out. Thomas M. Baker, an employe of the fish commission, who resided in the bullding adjoining the Kenmore, was then called and teatified that on the night of the trag- edy he was awakened by the report of pistol shots. He jumped out of bed, went to the window and heard & voice from above inquiring what was wrong below. He replied that he had heard pistol shols. Then, while standing at his window, he saw A figure on the fire escape just outside of Ayres’ window. The figure walked the length of the fire escape in his direction and then descended two flights to the floor of the veranda, -vhere it dis- appeared - into a window. It was the fignre of a small woman, clad fin dark, tight-fitting clothing. The woman wore no hat, and as he did not hear the fall of her footsteps he judged she was in her stocking feet. He described the man- ner of her descent, which he said was very deliberato and without emotion. Near Roomers Give Their Verslons. Robert P. Hopkins, a clerk in the War department who lived at the Kenmore hotel, where the tragedy occurred, was the mext witness. He testified that he lived on the tth floor over the room of Miss Lawless, who occupied the room adjoining that in which Ayres was killed. His daughter was ill on the night of the tragedy. He had been attending her and just as he was re- turning to bed he heard three loud reports. He went to the window and looked down. He saw someth! which looked llke a skull lyIng on the fire escape just outside the window which he afterward ascertained was the window of Ayres' room. The shots were firod 1n quick succession, about four seconds he judged between the first andl last. At the conclueion of Mr. Hopkins' testimony there was a stir in the court room as Emma Lawless, who occupied the room adjoining that in which the tragedy occurred, was called. Miss Lawless showed considerable nervousness as she took the stand. She tes- tifled that she was employed in the bureau of engraving and printing. On the night of the tragedy, about 9.80 o'clock, she testified, Ayres knocked at her door and asked it she had any sugar. He told her he wi going away and wanted to make some cocon. She gave him the sugar. About ten minutes later he knocked again ahd asked that she did not care for it o'clock she retired. She was slightly aroused during the night, but was wmot awakened. She formed no idea as to what aroused her or what time it was. The distriot attorney then turned the witness over to the defendant's counseél, but he asked but a single question, which brought out nothing additional. At 12:156 o'clock the court took a recess until 1 o'clock. Miss Minas Recalls Her Fright. After recess Miss Mary F. Minas, a clerk in the census office, who occupled the room next to Ayres, took the stand. She testified that she was & friend of Ayres “And of Mrs. Bonime®' ssked the diw- trict attorney, & 0t Mrs.* Honlne op” t6 tht! time, to- plied the witness. Contlnuing Miss Minas testified that on the evening ‘of the tragedy after dinner she went to the dancing room. A gentle- man and his wife soon called upon her and she took them to her room, where they re- mained until 10:30 o'clock, when they left. The halls were 50 dark that she was obliged to take the hand of her friend to lead her 10 the stairway Downstalrs she met Mrs. Bonine and remarked that she was up late, “Yes, I am looking fol aurice (Mrs, Bonine's son),”” replied Mra. Bonine. Mrs. Bounine accompanied her to her (Miss Minas') room and after a fow minutes sho left, Mise Minas then retired. That was about 11 e'clock. Miss Minas then de- seribed what she knew of the tragedy. She hud been awakened by three pistol shots, followed by cries for help and & gurgling sound, then & fall and then all was qulet. Her first idea was that it was a burglar in the hall, but it all happened so quickly that she was not really sure It was not a nightmare. 1 paralyzed with fright,” she testified. *‘1 rushed to the door and | plled seversl chairs agaivat i\ to protect About 10 her if she did not want a cup.

Then, she said, she busied herself in her room until breakfast time, when she went downstairs. There she met Mr. Hopkine who told her what he had heard and she became satisfied She then sent the boy Dan up to call Mr Ayres. After the discovery of the body Miss Minas said she was very much un- etrung and blamed herself for not hav- ing eried out. She wept at her place at the table in the dintng room and testified that Mrs. Donine came over and sat be- #lde her and comforted her. She testified that Mrs. Bonne was very much composed, that she ordered her breakfast and in- quired about all the details of what she (Miss Minas) had heard. Mrs. Bonine re- marked: “What & pity it was you did not cry out when you heard the groans.” Miss Minas testified that after the inquest on Sunday Mrs. Bonine came to her with the paper containing the account of her (Miss Minas') testimony in her hand and ex- pressed regret that she had told what she (Mrs. Bonine) had done on the night of the tragedy. Mrs. Boniss called her at tention to Baker's testimony about the color of the dress the woman on the fire escape wore and sald ber (Miss Minas') testimony would direct suspicion toward her. Miss Minas testified that Mrs. Bonine usually managed the dances at the Ken- more and Misa Minas taught Avres to dance. She also testified fo the disagress ment between Mrs. Bonine and Ayres dur- ing the holidays and to the fact that Mrs Donine subsequently complained because Ayres uo longer danced with her. She had {nvited Ayres to a hirthday party in Febru- ary to be held in Mrs. Bonine's room, but he declined to come. She told Mrs. Bonine about it and she said Ayres would not come because the party was held in her (Mrs Bonlne's) room. Heard No Sound of Strumgle On cross-examination Miss Minas testi- fied that in her room the night of the trag- edy ¢he had talked with Mrs. Rouine about a trip which they had arranged to make to Falls church the next day. The noises which she heord in the middle of the night sounded as if they came from the hall. She id not recognize the volce as that of Mr. Ayres, She heard no evidence of a struggle. On the Monday night before the tragedy Ayres and Mrs. Doniue were entertained in ber room. She gave them lce cream and cake. She saw no evidence of ill feeling between them on that night When Miss Minas was excused Miss Mary Woolums was called. She had the room under that occupied by Ayres and saw (he shadow of a person pass her window at 2 o'clock on the morning that Ayres was killed. She said she had retired the night before about 10 o'clock and was awakened by sounds in the room over her own. She heard voices, pistol shots and something falling. She had gotten up, lighted the gas and looked at her watch. She then noted the shadow of a person passing. The shadow, she said, was thrown upon the wall of her apartment. The next morning Miss Woolums left and did not return until Thursday vight. Shadow Interested Mrs. Bonine. She then expressed a fear of going to her room, whereupon Mrs. Bonine volunteered to go with her. After they arrived there Mrs. Bonine asked her about the shadow aud requested her to explain to her how it had appeared. When Miss Woolums re- plied that she could not properly show her how It was with the gas burning Mrs. Bo- nine suggested that the gas be turned out, and when Miss Woolums replied that she was afraid to be in the dark Mrs. Bonine replied that she was not. The witness said that Mrs. Bonine's manner was at that time composed. On cross-examination Miss Woolums said that Mrs. Bonine had volunteered to go to the room with her and *hat she and not Mrs. Bonine had first adverted to the ap- pearance of the shadow on the wall. Miss Woolums testified that Mrs. Bonine generally got up and superintended the weekly dances at the Kenmore hotel, but the court declined to permit cross-examina- tion as to how Mrs. Bonine had demeaned herself toward Ayres at the dances.
