Professor SwlnEIe Helping californian
With His Advice.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2O.-Professor
Swingle of the agricultural department
has gone to California for the purpose
Of giving fig growers Of that state who
are attempting to propagate the Smyrna
variety of figs, the benefit of his infor.
nation on this subject. In his recent
transatlantic tout in the interest of
the agricultural department., Professor
Swingle visited Smyrna, for the espe-
cial purpose of studying fig culture. He
secured and forwarded specimens of the
Blastaphaga, the insect utilized for
fettilizing figs in Smyrna. These were
sent to California and so far as the ex.
pertinent has proceeded, it has proved
successful. Specimens of California
figs fertilized by the imported insect
just received at the department are pro.
nounced quite perfect by experts. The
agricultural department is also in.
formed that specimens of the date palm
secured by Professor Swingle in Tripoli
have reached Phoenix. A. T., where
they are to be experimental with in the
hope Of making a success of date cul.
ture in that territory.

Pardon Granted by the Council

Death of NJ. Schuerer-K estner,
the First to Interest Himself
in Drsyfus.

PARIS, Sept. 20.-The council Of min.
listers has decided to pardon Dreyfus in
principle. The pardon will take effect
in q few days. Dreyfus has relinquished
his appeal for a reversal Of the judg-
ment Of the courtmartial.
1t is said that Dreyfus will be sent
abroad before the PRONUNCIATION of his
pardon, in order to avoid domonstra.
tions.
The announcement that Dreyfus was
to be pardoned had already been dis
counted by predictions and there was
absolutely no excitem ent displayed
along the boalevards when the news.
boys ran along at about 3:15 p m. with
the first editions containing the state.
ment that the cabinet had decided to
pardon Dreyfus. The newspapers sold
quickly, but there was no rush for them
or the part of the boulevardiers.
Those who bought the papers sat
down in front of the cafes and read the
announcement without comment.
Everyone expected it and the decision
met with no opposition.
Droits del Homme, the Socialist or.
gan, said: "Our task remains the same
after as before the liberation Of Drey.
fus, to continue the campaign against
all those responsible for the lamentable
affair.""
I'm principle" is an idiom some times
used in semi-oficial announcements Of
forthcoming actions. It seems to have
but slight bearing on the matter except
perhaps, that it implies the fulfllment
of various formalities before the par.

There is much remark here on the
strange coincidence of the death of NJ.
Schuerer.K estner, the first champion OF
Dreyfus, and to whom Dreyfus will
virtually owe his freedom, on the very
day the cabinet decided to pardon the
prisoner.
NJ. Schuerer-K estner's death was sud.

few days, but 1t was not thought that
his illness would prove fatal.

CHINESE PROTEST..

Emphatic Objection to the Exclusion OF
Celeatlsls From the Fhilippines.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 20.-The imperial
Chinese government, through its minis.
ter here. MI. WI Ting-Fang, has
lodged with the state department an
emphatic protest against the military
order Of General Otis excluding Chinese
from the Philippines. Neither the
state department nor the Chinese lega.
ton will give any information concern
ing the protest. but from entirely relia.
BILE quarters it is learned that it insists
that General Otis action is contrary to
international law, in violation Of exist
ing treaties and in complete disregard
of the friendly relations which have
been so long maintained between the
two countries. Minister WI called at
the state department last Friday and it
is believed he
Submitted tho Protest In Person
at that time. The matter was promptly
brought to the attention Of the presi.
dent, as the protest was of such a char.
acter as to give the subject an interna-
tional aspect considerably beyond the
purely military questions involved. 1t
is said that China points out that she
has welcomed the recent advent Of the
United States into the affairs Of the far
East and has hoped that this step would
prove a further bond and would extend
the relations between the two coun.
tries, particularly in their nelghboring
possessions. Furthermore, it is under.
stood that among the specific points of
protest submitted by the Chinese gov
eminent Is one to the effect that such
an order is a departure from the an.
nounced purpose Of the president Of the
United States to
Maintain the Present Status
of affairs in the Philippines until con.
gress had determined a permanent con.
dition. 1t is pointed out that the Chi.
nese have been long established in the
Philippines and that a considerable
branch of the industry of the islands is
conducted by them and that this com
plete termination of a long established
communication between China and the
Philippines Injuries these people both
personally and materially. The Chinese
protest is said to be couched in most
dignifed and. courteous terms, but is sc
pointed that no doubt is left % to the
deep umbrage the Chinese government
feels over this order Of General Otis.
1t is understood that the Chinese
government regards the outcome OF
this protest with much apprehension.
