TEA RAISING DOWN SOUTH
Pretty Hard to Get over tho Cheap Labor
Difficulty.


Washington, July 5.-Secretary Of Ag-
riculture Wilson has received a report
from a veteran horiculturist whom he
sent recently investigate the tea fearm
ing industry carried on at SummerviNe,
S. c., with a view TO ascertaining the
prospects of profitable growth OF the
ca plant in this country. The repor,
says the labor question is the most i'm
portant one in the economies of this bus
mess in this country. Il estimates the
minimum cost about eight times as
much TO pick one pound OF Tea in
South Carolina as that paid for the same
service in Asia. In districts favored
with sufficient heat and rains. plants fur
nish from fifteen 10 twenty picks year
ly. In the South Carolina fields. the
conservation of moisture by draining is
enhanced by Systematic surface culture.
The report suggests that il seems i'm
practicable 70 compete with the cheap
Oriental labor, and while some of the
processes of development have been DEL
egated 10 machinery, the picking Of the
leaves, requiring discrimination in Sc
lection. has to be done by hand, but the
problem has been met by establishing
small colored school where tea picking
is included.
Seeds have been imported from all tea
regions and especially from high alti-
tudes. A vegetation OF one-third OF the
seeds is general average, and the loss

NO CHANGE IN POLICY
Governments Attitude on the Boring Sea
Seal Question Explained.

Washington, July 5-The fact that the
state department is preparing for trans
mission TO congress the correspondence
on the Bering sea seal fisheries appears
to have been construed in some quarters,
and by the London Chronicle, as an indi-
cation Of a purpose on the part OF our
government 10 make a radical change in
its policy in the treatment Of that long
standing diplomatic issue, 10 seize on
this opportunity 10 announce its adoption
of "a bold American policy" The truth
is that this correspondence was called for
by congress some weeks ago and has
been delayed in transmission principally
because Mr.. Foster, who conducted per-
s0nally the greater part of ii, in con
junction with Mr.. Hamlin, was absent in
Europe. Now, however, it is in shape
and probably will go 10 congress this
week. 1t can be said that il will not
show any change in the policy of this gov
eminent. which has, ever since the first
years experience under the Paris award.

those regulations TO protect the seals, lost
no opportunity TO urge an extension Of
been courteously done at all times and
Great Britain has responded in like spirit
though, TO the regret of our government,
without consenting 10 the notifications
desired. There have been some remonS
frances exchanged; for instance the Brit
ish have protested agains; whatever they
termed the abuse OF the right of search
on the part OF our patrol vessels. and on
our part the British have been told that
their refusal to permit the sealing up Of
firearms carried by sealers amounted to
an evasion Of the spirit OF the Paris
award. but in all this there has been no
exhibition Of IL feeling and anything ike
''jingoism' on our part. and while the
recen, success OF Mr.. Foster in securing
the adhesion Of Russia TO the extension
OF the regulations over the entire North
Pacific ocean beyond the fourtieth de-
gree has strengthened our position in the
British negotiations. ii cannot be said
thar there has been any change in the
line Of policy that was laid DOWN by Sec
rotary Olney IN the last administration.

1--WE should not think of burdening our
locomotives with an extra car, expect
ing them to make the prescribed time;
We should have to substitute the new
breakfast coach for one OF the ordinary
ones, and then carefully watch the re-
suit. Our custom would come mostly
from the young unmarried men, who
now board in the country. who would
find it quite convenient 10 take lodg-
ings only and get their morning meals
in transit just as they now take their
lunches at city restaurants. There
would also very likely be respecta-
bic sprinlding Of others who would pat
ronize the car. not regularly, but coca
sionally. ard this number would IN
doubbedly increase il the plan were
pursued for any considerable length OF
time.
Should we expect the breakfast car
TO pay directly? No, of course not.
Taken all in all, frst-class passenger
traffic does not pay, but by building UP
the towns along our line we develop
the freight traffic, which earns money
for the railroad. An attractive and
convenient train service il the prime
factor in suburban development, and
we find that every effort in this direc-
ion, IS followed by beneficial results.
I'VE may also expect TO attach these
,ars to the late theater trains. Theater
yoers can get good supper thereby,
which is something they are often pre-
rented from doing when the evening
entertainment closes very late"

and ruins. The sultan's armies were
almost always defeated. Muhammad,
driven from one extremity to another,
escaped to an island in the Caspian sea.
where he died in sickness and despair,
leaving what remained of his empire
to his son Jalaluddin. Jalaluddin was
brave and courageous, and did all that
man could do to avenoe his fathers
death and to prop up his lettering
throne. Hemmed in by the loss of city
after city, he was at last driven to tho
banks of the Indus Here was fought
desperate battle. The Tartars, led by
Genghis Khan in person (whom little
Casan always followed), far outnum-
bered the Turks. The mighty army Of
the sultan had been reduced to . few
hundred men, who fought with un-
daunted courage till forced to fee.
Jalaluddin, knowing that all was lost.
stripped himself of his armor, threw
away all his arms save his bow, culver
and sword, and, mounting fresh horse.
plunged into the river 90 feet below.
With admiring gaze Genghis and Casan
stood watching the fearless horseman.
In the middle of the stream he turned
and emptied his culver in defiance of
his enemy, and soon after was seen to
mount the opposite bank. He passed
the night in a tree to keep clear of the
Wild beasts. GeugMs sent men to pur-
sue him, but he escaped TO Delhi. He
managed to recruit few soldiers from
the beaten Turks, but his spirit was
broken. He could not endure exile. and
after many misfortunes he returned to
his own country and died in obscurity.

It is within the possibilities that one
Of the best known railroads of tho
! United States, centering in New York and
carrying q heavy commutation traffic
every day, NAV take up with recent
French innovation and introduce break
fast cars on some of its early morning
inbound trains. If the scheme be en-
tered upon, however, it will be with a
difference, since the French refresh
ment car is said TO be stocked more
libers.lly with things to drink than with
things to eat, and the edibles are Lighter
than would satisfy the ravenous Ameri-
can breakfast appetite.
Should the breakfast car be put on it
will be an innovation indeed, since
hitherto all facilities for serving meals
in transit in America have been insep-
arably connected with limited and
other long-distance trains.
No commuter will need to be reminded
that the problem of arising from COM
Portable bed, dressing, eating salts

There is no doubt whatever that to 3

would be very welcome, though the rail-
