CRITICAL SITUATION.
British and American Interests IN China
Are Disresarded by Russia.

Are Disregarded by Russia.
SHANGHAI. John Barrett, formerly
United States minister to Siam, has
returned here after visiting Pekin and
the principal Chinese points. He says
the situation in China is of the most
critical nature and that, Manchuria is
no longer Chinese, but Russian terri
tory. He asserts that New Chang,
the chief northern port for the move
ment of American products. is also
Russian and is liable to be closed any
day. The only permanent safeguard
to the paramount American and Brit
ish interests, Mr.. Barrett says, is i'm
mediate, and united action by the in
terested governments to demand the
integrity Of the Chinese empire, to en-
force reforms In the government, to
prevent further cessions of ports and
provinces and to insist upon the "open
door, policy in all ports of China, in
volving the spheres of influence
claimed by Russia, Germany and
France. Otherwise, Mr.. Barrett con-
tends, the impending partition of the
Chinese empire will seriously curtail
the field Of trade by disastrously at
fecting American and British infu-
ence in Asia.

The San Jose Scale.

Professor Slingerland is reported by
The Country Gentleman as expressing
the opinion before the Western New
York Horticultural society that the rep
utation this insect has gained as the
most dangerous of all insect pests rises
from the fact that we did not know,
neither do we now, how to get at the
insect most effectively; SO thus far it
has been mainly a series of experimental
tests to determine which is the best in
secticide, and, as all fruit growers
know, such experiments result in many
failures Again, in the east the insect
in nearly every case had full sway, with
practically no ether enemies to check it
for three years before the war Of ex-
termination was begun. This is an ex-
ceedingly important phase of the situa-
ton which many jealous experimenters
seem to overlook when they find the in
sect is not exterminated with three or
four attacks Of the spray The fact is
the size of the job has not been fully
realized. Allow any one Of several we'll
known pests to have the same freedom
as the San Jose scale has had to breed
unchecked, and, he thought, it would be
an equally difficult task to exterminate
them.

increased when Williams hung back,
pale and trembling, upon the pastor s
encouraging arm. The good man now
had serious doubts, but his Christianity
forbade him to express, them to the
mans face
When Williams was brought into the
presence of the dead man, by all the
recognized laws Of circumstantial evi
