Kansas Apple Crop.

Topeka, July 23.-Secretary William
Barnes, of the Kansas state horticul-
tural society, has made public his re-
port on the condition of the Kansas
apple crop. 1t shows that the state
promises to raise 30 per cent more
apples than it did last year.
His report is based on advices re-
ceived from all but nineteen counties
and those not reporting are counties
which do not raise many apples. 1t
also shows that in the apple belt the
percentage is very fair. Last year the
crop averaged 40 per cent. This. year
it promises "a per cent or 80 per cent
more than last. The number of bear
ing apple trees in the state this year
is placed at 7,640, 149.

To Drive Russia In Siberia.

London, July 21.-The Russian min
lister of the interior has issued notice
that the Siberian railway is closed to
private traffic. There is little doubt
that the Russian authorities were not
prepared for such an organized Chinese
movement in Manchuri. Berlin tele-
grams dwell upon the immense German
interests in southeastern Siberia. They
say that the many German merchants,
the numerous German employees and
the immense stores of merchandise be-
longing to Germans in that territory

If war should actually and formally

declaration of war, or withdraw their
