A Good Story.

In a lecture on the Philippine
Question, Mr.. g. F. Seward, former
ly U. S. Consul-General at Shang-
hal, and Minister at Pekin, tells the
following amusing story OF Shanghai
hal in the good old days: ga pre-
decessor OF mine at Shanghai, hav-
ing on his hand hundred or more
refractory sailors, and no prison,
sent the whole lot to the native gov
ernor to be confined. They stayed
there little while and then march
ed out of the prison and down the
river road in front of the Consul's
Office, each one bearing on his shout
der a pole which he had taken out
of the prison stockade. The Consul
wrote about the case to the Secre-
tary of State, giving the facts, and
urging upon his attention the dis
grace attending the situation. He
got this answer: 81 have received
your dispatch of-date. In writing
to this department hereafter, please
use cap paper, leaving a margin one
inch wide, all around. Yours re-
spectfully, Daniel Webster" Now,
perhaps, this may be an extreme in
stance but it was an actual in
stance."-N. @. d. NeOs.

Christian In China.

Native dispatches from Chung
king report that the restoration of
the hospital and dispensary belong
ing to American missionaries which
were destroyed last year at Kiang-
peh, began some time during the
first part of the current month. The
people round about Chungking are
said to be getting excited and hos
tile against Christians again, owing
to the rumor now current that the
attempted arson at the barracks on
the night of the 14th November
which caused a number of panic
striker women to commit suicide was
the work Of a Chungking convert.
The high provincial authorities consi-
der the situation so complicated and
grave from this fresh hostility, that
thep have been recently considering
the desirability of temporarily re-
moving all the converts now inside
the walls of Chungking to the South
hills near the city, where being in a
body the officials will be able to
give them better protection for the
the time. The converts, however,
object strongly to their election
from Chungking city, and procla.
nation will therefore be issued by
the Viceroy exhorting them to obey

Foreign Medical Practitioners il
Japan.

A bill has been introduced in the
House Of Representatives by one of
the members, providing for the or
ganization of Association of Medi-
cal Men, and interdicting the prac-
tice of medicine by any person not
member of such an association. APP
proval of the measure has been an
nounced by the Government Dele
gate, and in the statement of rea-
sons attached to the bill we find an
explanation that the measure is con.
sidered necessary in view of the ope-
ration of the Revised Treaties and
the possible advent of foreign medi-
cal practitioners, concerning whose
qualifications the general public can
have no knowledge, nor any means
of obtaining knowledge. In short
the Associations are to assume func-
tions partially similar to those dis
charged by the College of Surgeons
in England, for although they can
not grant licenses to practice, they
will endorse the diplomas held by
desiring practitioners. This, we pre-
sumo, is the method devised for
Judging the qualifications of foreign
physicians or surgeon who may seek
to practise in japan after the COM
plete opening of the country. Some
method is obviously necessary, for it
would be clearly out of the question
to give an entirely free hand in any
one and every one. Recklessness of
that kind is not shown by any civil
lied country. The plan proposed
should work we'll enough unless it is
disfgured by some vexatious rules,
but we may reasonably hope that
such will not be the case.-Japan

going the day before the battle into
the enemy's lines disguised as an

Government Weekly Crop Heport

Washinton. August l5.-The follow
ing is the weather bureaus weekly
summary Of crop conditions:
Favorable eathe conditions prevail
ed during the week in the Ohio val
ley and generally in the middle. south
Atlantic and east gulf states, through
out the central and southern Rocky
districts and on the Pacific
coast. Drought prevails in the lower
lake region, northern New York. and
portions OF the central and west gulf
states, while the lower Missouri, Red
river and the north and central Mis-
sissippi valleys have suffered from TX
cessive rains. severe and destructive
hail storms occurring in Wisconsin,
Minnesota and North Dakota. Rain
falls amounting to from one-half 10
more han one inch, remarkable for
the season, occurred in Washington
and Oregon, and. although retarding
harvesting in Oregon and causing
some damage to oats in Washington,
were generally beneficial.
This has been another favorable
week for corn. Except over southern
Missouri, Central Kansas, and In cen
lIdi dhu "tSltlh NeDfdShd, NntIt II
needs rain, the crop has generally
made decided advancement. 1t is es-
timated that early corn in the princi-
pal corn states of the central valleys
will be safe from frost by September
18th and the late crop by September
Both.
Stacking and threshing Of spring
wheat has been generally delayed by
rains, and violent hail storms in the
Red river valley have caused a loss
estimated at 1000, 900 bushels in North
Dakota n about so per cent. OF the
expected yield of so, 900 acres in Mime
sofa, while high winds have shelled
considerable ripe grain in the first
named state.
In nearly all sections cotton is OPEN
ing rapidly and picking is in general
progress. While complaints OF shed
ding continue general they are some
what less numerous than in the preyi-
Gus week over the eastern half Of the
cotton belt. Rust is, however. still
prevalent n Is increasing in the CEN
trail and eastern districts. In the north
central and western portions OF the
cotton belt the condition of cotton is
decidedly less promising thai at the
close OF the previous week.
The reports concerning tobacco con-
tinue favorable in nearly all tobacco
states. The crop has, however. sus-
tanned some damage from storms in
New York n from too much rain in
southern Indiana, and has suffered
from drought in Pennsylvania.

another Victim OF the 1rust
(FrOm the Planter and Ginner.)


The story here appended is the plain,
unvarnished tale Of a man who monk
eyed with the great American Cotton
Trust. 1t is it's own best comment.
Shawnee, o. T., March 8, 1899.
This is the following statement of
my experience with the round bale peo-
pie, called the American Cotton Baling
Improvement Company.
They agreed to capitalize the stock
Of the local plant at Venus, Texas, at
$4,000, they taking 81 per cent. of the
stock and allowed me 40 per cent of
the stock. Said company were to fur
nish the house and all buildings neces-
sary for the same.
They agreed to put press on ground
to be in operation by the first of Sep
TENDER, also to furnish all funds to
keep press in successful operation. dur
ing the cotton season, also agreed to
pay me SIS per month as manager of
the plant.
In the first place they did not get
press in according to contrast. They
at various time ~t)pped us from buy
ing cotton whe. If machinery was in
good shape and we could have run right
along. They keep me in the dark as
to what we were doing in regard to
prices Of the output Of the plant. I
asked them often how the outcome was
and they would avoid answering in this
way: Said We would make money after
the outcome of the season; and I never
got a settlement until April after the
season was over, then they claimed
that the plant lost $4,000. They also
kept me and three boys out Of our sea-
sons wages and refused to pay interest
on same, and I want to state here that
1 could have handled cotton on home
market and made a fair profit by gin
ming the square bale. The only capital
they put in was the press, the outside
buildings which were worth about
81, $500.
My stuff which l put in invoiced over
5 5000.
After first settlement they changed
from American Cotton Baling Improve
ment Company to Aerican Cotton Com
pany and offered as an inducement TO
transfer to the new company all loss
of previous year which nullified all
former contracts and my salary as
manage was knocked u and a new
manageent put in instead and 1 worked
as a common laborer at a dollar a Cay,
they laying me on and off at their will.
To whom it may concern: You can
See from the above statement they froze
me out and would advise ginners and
| farmers to be very careful about having
any dealings with them.

A Little Time

Mr.. Jas. A. Lamkin, Of Georgia,
thinks We can do as we'll with the
square as the round bale.
1T does not cost ginners anything
but a little time to change their boxes
so as TO make a standard bale. This
will save the ginners Of the cotton belt
thousands of dollars, as they will have
TO abandon their square presses, if the
round bale is adopted, and / don't see
why We should adopt anything that
will cost so much, where we can do
Just as well without it. Now, the 24x54
bale is much more easily handled than
the old style bale, and it costs mere
nothing 10 change one of the old press
es- Just drop in a scantling on ends
and cut out sides, and cut off follow
block, and you are through with the
job. I don't believe in spending money
for nothing. 1t takes less power to run
a 24x54 bale than it does to run 2Sx62
bale. I have tested it."

Good tuvestmeot

Mr. R. c. Nicely. OF Georgia. does not
regret changing his press box.
Il do not regret changing my press
box 10 24x5+. Ny old box made a very
long, ugly bale: it was hard to load
nicely in the wagon; and, unless very
heavy, made a soft, loosely packed bale.
The small cost TO make the change
$500 to $4,000 / consider a good invest
ment. believe all owners OF gins will
find ii 10 their interest to change their
press boxes. so We can have uniform
bales"
Experience of Messrs. J. 4. Elliott
& Son. Of Alabama:
Our experience with the standard
24x54 bale is. our average weight was
larger. Could haul one more bale on
a dray, and the trouble from bursting
bands was less than with the old style
bale.
The cost Of changing press TO stand
ard was normal"
