AHMED PASHA IMPRESSED.
The Turkish Vice Admiral Praises
the Ship Yards In the
United States.

Ahmed Pasha. the Turkish vice adj
miral now in this country, has re-
turned to Washington from a visit to
Cramps shipyards at Philadelphia.
The admiral has been making flying
visits since his arrival at New York to
the various naval equipment works in
this part of the country. lie expresses
himself as greatly impressed by the
facilities in this country for building
and fitting out war vessels and says
that in this respect the United States
has no superior in the world, il in
deed an equal.
The end of Ahmed Pasha's stay in
this country is probably near at hand.
He has been in i'll health ever since his
arrival here and any further inter-
course he may have with the ship
builders of the country probably will
be carried on by correspondence
rather than by personal visits.
Although no order for cruiser to
be constructed in this country for the
Turkish government actually has been
issued it is very probable that one
will be in a short time.

also have to quit in short time. Mr..
Mitchell also said that of the 5000 nou-
strikers 2,l00 are in this (Hazleton) re-
gion, and the remainder are at work in
the Schuylkill district. The question
of calling a joint convention and the
matter of affording the strikers relief
were not considered at the conference,
according to Mr.. Mitchell.
Hazleton, Pa, Oct. 5.-An uprising of
striking miners in the Shamokin re-
gion seemed imminent for several
hours late THURSDAY and there were
forebodings of serious clash between
armed deputies and large body Of
strikers. Prompt action of some Of the
cool-headed officials of the miners or
ganization finally succeeded in avert
ing the threatened conflict. Some 3,ooO
excited strikers assembled at Noun f.
Carmel, and headed by band of musie
started to march 20 Trevcrton, l6 miles
away, with the ayowed purpose o. Coz
cling those at work at the North F"ani.-
lin colliery to quit and join in the sirik".
This was the only mine in operation IN
the region, and the strikers had become
angered at the refusal of the men thece
to stop work. The marchers were IN
an excited and wrathful frame of mind.
When they had covered three miles IF
their march they were met by Officials
of their organization. who after murh
persuasion induced the men to abc n
don their proposed trip. The strikers
then turned back. though many did
so reluctantly. Later it was an
nounced that the officials of the North
Franklin TO prevent trouble kould uot
operate the mine until the strike was
settled.
With cessation of operations at the
North Franklin all of the Philadelphia
& Reading company's 80 collieries will
now have ceased work. The point of
attack by the United Mine Workers
organizers now is the Panther Creek
valley, in che lower Lehigh region,
where the collieries of the LehigL Coal
and Navigation company have/Decn in
practically full operation since the
strike began in the other sections.
Hazleton, Pa, Oct. 5.-Not the
slightest notice has been taken by the
striking miners of the ten per cent.
offered the employees by several of
the larger coal companies. AS fer as
is definitely known not one striking
miner has accepted the advance, but
on the other hand, more hare quit
their places, notably in the Scl.uyl-
kill region. where three addit' onal
collieries of the Reading company
were shut down.

PARADE OF STRIKERS.
kesbarre, Pa.-serious Trouble In
shamokin District Averted.

Wilkesbarre, Pa. Oct. 3.-The parade
and mass meeting of the striking
miners in this city Tuesday was the
greatest labor demonstration ever neld
In northeastern Pennsylvania.
The parade, headed by President
Mitchell and the officers of the ma
tional executive board. started little
after two O'Clock, and it required an
hour and 20 minutes to pass a given
point. 1t is estimated that there were
fully $4,000 men and breaker boys in
line.
The mass meeting was addressed by
President Mitchell and other officers of
the miners organization. President
Mitchellin his speech congratulated the
strikers on having already received a
proffer of ten per cent increase in
wages. He said their cause had been
recognized everywhere as righteous
one, and that the time was not far
distant when they would receive prop
er compensation for their labor. He
advised them to stand firmly together.
He said the strike shall not be ended
by him, and could only be closed when
a convention of miners representing
every union and every colliery shall so
decide. He hoped that not one man
will desert the ranks until the victory
is complete.
Hazleton, Pa, Oct. A secret con-
ference was held Wednesday night by
the officials of the United Mine Work
ers, which lasted for one and one-half
hours. At it's conclusion President
Mitchell said the meeting was held for
the purpose of canvassing the entire
situation. 1t was found. he said, that
only about 5000 mine workers out of
$4,000 were still at work. 1t was the
opinion of the officials in the confer

NOTES FROM THE PARIS EX.
POSITION.

"The Singer Manufacturing Com
pany, of 149 Broadway, New York,
show their usual American enterprise
by having a very creditable exhibit, To-
rated in Group XIII, Class 20, at the
Paris International Exposition, where
they show to great advantage the cele-
brated Singer Sewing-Machinc which
Is used in every country on the globe,
both for family use and for manufac-
turing purposes. The writer was high
ly pleased with this display and OBJ
served with much satisfaction that it
was favorably commented upon by WIS.,
itors generally.
The Grand Prize was awarded by the
International Jury to Singer Sewing
Machines for superior excellence in de-
sign, construction, efficiency and for
remarkable development and adoption
to every stitching process used in
either the family or the factory.
Only One Grand Prize for sewing ma
chimes was awarded at Paris, and this
distinction OF absolutely superior merit
confirms the previous action of the In
ternational Jury at the Worlds Co.
lumbar Exposition, in Chicago, where
Singer machines received "a distinct
awards, being more than were re-
ceived by all other kinds of sewing ma
chimes combined.
Should it be possible that any of our
readers are unfamiliar with the cele-
brated Singer Machine, we would re-
specially advise that they call at any
of the Singer salesrooms which can be
found in all cities and most towns in
the United States"

The hall was thronged with people
during the afternoon, probably 5000
being present, but as the hour APP
preached for the advent Of Mr.. Bry-
an at four o'clock, the aisles were
filled and the hall thronged to a de-
degree of almost suffocation. Mr.
Bryan's arrival was in every way a
notable event. and it served to instill
into the meeting degree of enthusi-
assn which had not marked the pro-
ceedings of the convention.
The concluding session of the con-
vention, of which Hon. Bourke Cock
ran was the speaker of the evening,
witnessed a densely-packed hall and

Cow Pea Vine sIIape.

A Letter from Thomas G. Crenshaw,
Jr., one of the railroad commissioners
of Georgia, published in Hoards Dairy
man, carries some interesting and i'm
portant information relative to the COW
pea vine as silage plant. Mr.. Cren-
shaw writes:
Regarding COW pea vine silage l
desire to say have round wooden
silo, twenty feet in diameter inside
measurement and thirty-five feet high
/ got the plan of my silo from page 16,
bulletin No. So issued by the Wiscon-
sin Agricultural Experiment Station. l
have filled my silo twice with cow pea
vine. l cut the vines in lengths from
one-half inch up to six inches long,
when l put them in the silo. If the
vines were put in the silo without be-
ing cut up, they would form an entan-
gled mass and make it difficult, il not
almost impossible, to take them out for
feeding purposes. l have succeeded
well in the ensiling of COW pea vines.
l consider such Stage not only first
class, but superior to any and all kinds
of silage. 1t keeps well and makes a
most excellent feed. have never found
as much as a handful of unsound cow
pea vine silage in my silo, after taking
off the top covering. My COWS are very
fond of it; they eat every particle that
is fed to them, which is of itself an
advantage over corn silage, as cows
will occasionally leave some of the
hard chunks of corn silage."

CompsratIvo Rainfall Of State.

With the exception OF Vermont, the
New England states are well supplied
with rainwater. Vermont has a fall
Of only about 20 inches per year. The
rainfalls of the other states follow:
Maine, 40 to so; Massachusetts, Al;
Rhode Island. 46 to so; Connecticut,
80. OF the middle states, Delaware has
the smallest fall-32 inches. In New
York the rainfall is from 80 to As
inches, according to location; New
Jersey, AZ to 46; Pennsylvania, 81 to
AZ; Maryland, A. The south Atlantic
and the gulf states are all well sup
piled with water, as the following
shows: Virginia, A to 50; West Vir-
ginia, 46; North Carolina, 50 to 50;
South Carolina 81; Georgia, 49 to So;
Florida, So to 60; Mississippi, 81;
Louisiana, SO to "a; Tennessee, 81 to
Sc; Kentucky, so; Alabama. SO to Ga.
Texas has a good supply Of water in
the eastern portion. it varying from
SO to As inches. Arkansas is well sup
piled for state in its latitude and
longitude, the annual rainfall being
from AZ to SO inches, according to To-
cation.
Southern Illinois has a rainfall of 43
inches, central Illinois a rainfall of 40
inches and the northern part Of the
state a rainfall of &c inches. Indiana
has fall of 45 inches; Ohio fall Of
from 81 to Al inches. The other west
ern states follow: Minnesota, 16 to so;
Wisconsin, 80; Iowa, 81; Missouri, SO
to As; Kansas, 20 to SO; Oklahoma has
a fall of about q inches. The rainfall
of the semi-arid states is as follows:
Idaho, 10; Wyoming, to 70; Utah, s
to II; North Dakota, IL to 10; South
Dakota, q to 81; Colorado, to IA;
Nebraska II to 20; Arizona, 8 to 16;
New Mexico, 10 to IT, The rainfall of
the Pacific states is as follows: Cali
fornia, II to 20 inches, according to
location; Oregon, to 40; Washington.
y to 80; Nevada, 8. The District of
Columbia has fall of about Al inches.
When man is to go into farming
and intends to settle in some state
where the natural conditions will be
favorable, he should give due weight
to the question of rainfall. A fall of
an inch per week is considered ideal
for agricultural operations, provided
the fall is fairly even in it's distribu-
ton throughout the year.
