Where They Are Taught.
Colleges of agriculture are main
tanned in universities, with the aid of
national funds, in Arizona. Arkansas,
California, Georgia. Idaho, Illinois,
Indiana, Louisiana, Maine, Minnesota,
Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada. New
York, Ohio, Tennessee. Vermont, West
Virginia, Wisconsin, ana Wyoming. In
Massachusetts, Harvard University has
Il school of Agriculture known as Bus
scy Institution. Besides these, agrl-
cultural and mechanical colleges have
been organized in Alabama, Colorado,
Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Iowa,
Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Michi-
gan, Mississippi, Montana, New IIamp-
shire, New Jersey, New Mexico, North
Dakota, oklahoma, Oregon. Fennsyl-
vania, Rhode Island, South Carolina,
South Dakota. Texas, Utah, Virginia,
ana Washington. Separate institutions
of this sort are maintained for colored
students in Alabama, Delaware, Flor
ida, Mississippi, North Carolina, South
Carolina, and Virginia. Massachusetts
has the only college whose curriculum
is wholly devoted to agriculture.
In the universities in which courses
in agriculture are maintained the gen
eral tendency is to make this course
correspond in scope and thoroughness
with those given in the other depart
mcnts, to divide the instruction in agri-
culture among an increasing number
of specialists, and to provide buildings
and apparatus and illustrative ma
terial on a scale in keeping with those
in other branches. At the same time
efforts are making to bring the uni
versity in close touch with the masses

ticultural plants, fertilizers. methods
of culture, etc, feeding experiments
with animals, soil Investigations. etc.
THE laboratories of the different
scientific departments are well equip
ped with apparatus for experimental
ton and demonstration and with illus
trative material, such as specimens of
plants. insects, animals and machines,
particularly those of importance in
their relation to agriculture. The IL
brary of $4,000 volumes has been care
fully collected with reference to the
needs of an agricultural college, and
Is thoroughly catalogued and managed
with view to providing the students
every facility for obtaining the infor-
nation they desire to gather from
books. 1t is one OF the most extensive
and valuable collections of books on
the science and practice of agriculture
to be found in this country.
The instruction is given by corps
of eighteen professors and assistants.
The chairs include botany, chemistry,
agriculture, horticulture, zoology, vet
Urinary science, mental and political
science, English and Latin, modern
language. mathematics and civil engi-
neering, and military science and tao
tics. There is also a lecturer on farm
law. The student Is required to follow
a definitely prescribed curriculum dur
ing three years, and in the last year of
the course he is allowed wide latitude
of choice among numerous specialties,
English and military science being the
only required studies"
For a time the college was open to
men only, but women may now attend
special elective courses in such
branches as botany, entomology. fiori-
culture, fruit culture, market garden
ing and dairying. Candidates for ad-
mission must be at least IL years old
and are required to pass examinations
in English grammar, geography, Unit
ed States history, physiology, physical
geography, arithmetic, the metric sys-
TEN, algebra Through quadratics), ge-
ometry and civil government. The
students as a rule room in the college
dormitories and are boarded in clubs
or private families. The expenses for
room rent, board, fuel, washing and
military suit for the college year are
estimated to range from $3.50 to $500.
Students performing labor at the col
lege are paid by the State, and there
are small endowment funds for the as
sistance of needy students. The stu
dents have their athletic associations
and glee clubs and social amusements

RUSSIA AND CHINA.

Senator Pettigrew Believes That the

Senator Petugrew OF, South Dakota, who

house who has visited China. has views Of
his own on the future OF that country.
THE action Of the Chinese empire in treat
ing with ITALY," said the senator, "prac-
tically amounts to defiance Of that power.
In my judgment, It Is the first step of an
awakening nation toward throwing off the
oppression Of foreign governments. 1t
means, think, that an understanding has
been reached between the Chinese and the
Russians which will develop into a COM
plete alliance within the next year.
Already Russia has perfected arrange
ments for railroad connections between st.
Petersburg and Pekin which will result in
giving Russia absolute control of the mil
itary situation from the land side before
the middle, of the year 1900. Already the
czar has 100000 trained men within easy

he has a fililioh and half farmers from

THE SMALLPOX CONDITIONS.
No New Case Reported Today One
Under Suspicion.

Under Suspicion.
Up to late hour this afternoon no addi-
tional case of smallpox had been reported
to the District health officer DR.. Wood
ward stated, however that he has one sus-
picious case under investigation, although
the chances are that it will be found that
the disease is other than smallpox.
The young colored man who applied for
treatment at the Emergency Hospital yes
terday afternoon, as stated in The Star, and
was found to be suffering from the disease,
did not reside at 395 G street southwest,
but at 349 Broad alley southwest. The
young man. James Powell, is q stranger
here, and in that way gave the health Off
no such house as 1876 street southwest
So far there have been forty-four cases
of smallpox here during the present out
break. Eleven of the patients removed to
the District Hospital have been discharged
as recovered, leaving thirty-one patients
under treatment, as two OF the forty-four
afflicted persons went to Alexandria. No
death from the disease has occurred here,
and the patients in the local hospital are
reported to be doing well, with assurances
of recovery in every case.
Maryland and Virginia have compulsory
vaccination laws and the health authorities
in both states are endeavoring to enforce
them. In Baltimore, yesterday, a young
lady employed in big store refused to
bare her arm, and the health physicians
caused her arrest Her contention was that
she would not submit to such an operation
by a stranger, just because the latter repre-
sented himself to be an official, but she was
willing that her family physician should
vaccinate her. The latter called at the
police station, and, after he had used the
vaccine point on her arm, he rendered the
health official a certificate. This the latter
refused, but the justice before whom the
case was heard did accept it and discharged
the young lady from custody.
At Hampton, Va, yesterday a citizen,
who refused to submit to the medical rep
resentative, was fined $40 and costs.
