letter was read from N. d. Pierce contain
ing information as to a disease OF apple trees
existing in Oregon and British Columbia. Mr..
Pierce represents it us of probable fungus or
igin, and says thatit manifests itself on the
trunk and main limos. The infected portions
of the bark of young apple trees usually die to
the wood, killing the cambum tissue, and as a
consequence the wood frequently dies beneath
, these spots, covering them wi scars and
n uniting their growth. The fl rst indication is a
EDlack spot, which gra6 ualiy enlarges. In the
H,pring the bark settles down on the wood and
hal
cracks and drops off Affected stock should be
destroyed.

PEACE IN H EAST.
ORIENTAL NEWS CONFIRMED o..
FlClALLY.
Diplomatic Advices Received at wash
ingtOn Make 1t Certain that the Nc
gOtiatiOns Between China and Japan
Have Ended Happily.


Official confirmation of the report Of the
signing of the treaty of peace between the
plenipotentiaries of Japan and China has
been received by Secretary Gresham. 1t
came from Minister Dun at Toxic. was
very brief and merely stated that Il treaty
of peace had been finally concluded. The
minister's cablegram gave no information
respecting the conditions on which the
terms of the agreement between the pow
ers had been arrived at. The Chinese Lee
CATION also received advices from Japan
announcing the signature of terms of
peace between China and Japan.
1t is understood in Washington that
the terms agreed upon are in conformity
with those already published, saving the
mount of the indemnity. which was sub
sequently reduced. probably to an amount
estimated to be sufficient to cover all of
Japan's war expenses. 1t is doubted.
though. whether it has been brought down
as low as 500, 100000 in gold. In respect
of the territory which Japan is to possess
it is understood in Washington that aside
from FOrmosa. which is absolutely coded.
the rest will be subject only TO temporary
occupation, probably until all of the in
demnity has been paid. This would leave
Japan in temporary possession of the
entire Laotung peninsula from Port Ar
thur. at the southern extremity. clcar up
to Mookden. the capital of ManchurIa, on
the north. and from the Lao river. on
which New Chang is situated. on the
west to the Corean border on the east.
This amounts to about 5000 square miles
and is populated by about 2.O0O,OOO pco-
pie.
The report of a condition that there
should be an alliance offensive and de-
fensive between Japan and China is not
credited in Japanese circles. where it is
not believed to have been even suggested.
On the other hand, some of the diplomatic
body are inclined to believe that the ALI
ance has really been made with an earnest
purpose to execute it. They see in it the
realization of the prophecy of IN emf
nent scholar recently made hat these two
nations would eventually combine against
occidental methods and commerce. and
their watchword would be THE orient for
the Orientals."
Ii Hung Chang is said to be convinced
of the wisdom of such ii combination. be-
lieving that by a close alliance with Japan,
China would secure in return practical
control of the commerce of the greatest
trading people of the East. Such Il con-
summation rs this would mean the de-
struction of European commercial inter-
ests in the orient and it may be that
strong opposition will soon develop on the
part of some of the powers to this fea-
ture of the agreement.
1t is to be noted that this agreement is
not final in all respects, but is simply Il
preliminary agreement, indicating on
broad lines the ultimate terms of a def
mite treaty of peace which may not be per-
fected for months to come.
