only in aiding their debnrkation, but
possibly in furnishing them boat trans
portatlon II move is made along the
Pei Ho.
z 1t appears that some mlsunderstand-
Ing exists as to st. Petersburg dis
patch printed here this morning, saying
that the Chinese minister there, and his
colleagues In Europe, had cabled the
governor of Shan Tung demanding that
free communication be opened between
the Pekin ministers and their respective
governments. This communication was
in fact a Joint memorial to the throne
concurrcd In by all Chinese ministers
abroad, including Minister WI In
Washington. 1t was forwarded by
Minister Yeng Lu at st. Petersburg, be-
cause the latter Is the dean of the Chi
nese diplomatic service 1t was trans.
mltted through the governor OF Shan
Tung TO be forwarded to Pckln. This
action is considered very important, as
indicating that the Chinese ministers
abroad have at last reached unani-
nous conclusion that the situation Is
no longer to be trlned with. Their ac-
tion may be regarded as a final effort
on their part to influence the home gov
ernment and Its outcome is awaited
with great interest.
Communication Not Abandoned.
Meanwhile the government of the
United States, like the governments of
Europe, has not abandoned It's efforts
to establish communication with its
minister at Pekin by independent
means. and the state department has
instructed Consul General Goodnow at
Shanghai, Consul Fowler, at Che Foo,
and Consul Ragsdale at Tlen Tsin, to
spare no effort or expense TO open up
direct communication with Mr.. Conger.
In addition to his short message rela-
tive to the Japanese check, transmitted
through Admiral Remey and received
this morning. General Chaffee made an
other and direct cable report this
morning. The message was withheld
from publication by Secretary Root;who
declined to make its purport public. 1t
was presumably devoted to. recital o.
General Chaffea's needs In u military
way. In view of the London statement
that the advance on Pekin actually be-
gan with the present week. there is also
possibility that General Chaffee's
message has some bearing on that SUBJ
ject, though It is evident from his re-
port this morning, that the advance, If
started, could not hIve- progressed far
beyond Tien Tsin, as the outpost affair
described by him took place only ten
miles out of town..

BRESCl BANQuETED
Before Leaving This Country-Room
Found Where the Plot Was Eatched
to Kill King Humbert.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-Detec.lves
have found the room in which, it is
claimed, that the plot to kill King
Humbert Mas formed. 1t is on the sec
ond floor of West Hoboken, n. J., re-
sort for anarchists, and is in the heart
of the italian settlement. The place
has not been known as meeting place
for anarchists. There have been no
public meetings held there and the room
where the men met was kept for the
most secret conference purposes.
The detectives say that they learned
last night from socialists who attended
a meeting at the place, that less than
four months ago two Italians, II man
and a woman, arrived In Hoboken, and
an important conference was held In
the room. At the conference there were
anarchists from New York City, from
Brooklyn, from the Italian colony in
Philadelphia, and from Paterson and
West NObOken

Never Saw Bresci.

This socialist never saw Brcsci and
never saw QuiItavallo, but the dcscrip-
ton Of the men tallies with that of
two Of the men at the conference
1t Is learned that the assassin Bresci
was member OF what Is known as the
international group" OF anarchists.
The police also have learned that prior
TO Bresci's leaving this country he was
rendered banquet by group of an
larchists in an anarchist resort in
Blocker street. Eight persons were
present besides Bresci. There were
Salvatore Quintavello. man named
Sass, and a man named Lenner, or
Lana, all of whom are under arrest In
Italy. The other guests are not yet
known TO the police, but one of them
was said to be woman. This would
indicate that there were at least eight
persons concerned in the plot to kill
the king. -.

Innroyed Corn.

A Wisconsin farmer gives some
valuable experience in securing a
variety of corn suitable to the CHM
ate. BE planted a large Southern
variety adjoining small flint kind
and secured a medium between the
two, thus raising sort of corn that
gave large yield and matured early.
He planted 100 rows;-two rows Of an
eight.rowed flint variety and next to
these two rows of a large Southern
dent He cut the tassels from the
flint variety so that no pollen of this
kind would fall on the silk and pro-
duce flint grains of corn. The pollen
from the tassels of dent fell on the
silk of the flint and the cobs of the
flint variety filed with dent corn,
making a medium, early variety, with
generally two long ears on a stalk.
This he planted the next year and
subsequently, and it produced ten to
sixteen-rowed ears, and generally two
and three ears to the stalk. In Sc
Letting the seed from the first field Of
dent and flint he selected only from
the flint stalks.

River FaIIs Improyement League.

The American people are showing
rapidly growing interest in the i'm
proyement of their towns; and of the
many causes Of their progress the
numerous village improvement So
cieties are not the least. These So
cieties usually foster that town pride
and public spirit which suggest liber-
al plans and prompt TO generous gifts,
impressively putting to every citizen
the question: What is it my duty or
privilege to do for my town?
In the east a lively interest has
been shown in identifying towns and
villages. The West, which is always
ready for development Of all kinds,
takes hold of village improvement
with its usual vigor.
OF the various branches of public
improvement, that which concerns
the villages may be called the most
vital, in that it closely appeals to all
the inhabitants, no matter what their
age, sex or station, and gives some
thing to do, with purse or hand, to
every man, woman and child who
takes an interest in producing organ
lied beauty.
In response to pre- giOusly made
call, a large number OF the women OF
River Falls met in the parlors of the
M. e. church last Tuesday afternoon
and after listening to the reading OF
an article describing what has been
accomplished along the line Of village
improvement in other communities
and engaging in brief discussion OF
what may be done here, 1t was decided
TO organize society whose object
shall be to assist in identifying the
homes, streets and surroundings OF
River Falls, and to promote in every
legitimate manner the best develop
ment of the whole city.
The meeting was an enthusiastic
one and an organization was perfect
ed by the adoption of Bylaws anc
the election of oflicers:- President
Mrs. Frank Ensign; Vice-Presidents
Mrs. Horace Thomson, Mrs. George
Pratt, Mrs. j. II. Langdon and Mrs
John Barnard; Secretary and Treas
urer, Mrs. j. M. Smith.
The League starts with forty-seven
members.
The regular monthly meeting OF
the League will occur on Saturday
afternoon next at four o'clock, in the
parlors of the NJ. E. Church. 1t is
desirable TO have large and repre-
sentative membership and every
woman in the city who has desire tC
further the worthy motives of this
organization is cordially invited tc
attend the meeting and increase the
mem bership.
The four purposes Of the League
are explained in Article Two Of the
Bylaws, as follows;
Art. 2. The object of this society is
to improve and ornament the streets
and public grounds Of River Falls by
planting and cultivating trees, clean
ing and repairing sidewalks and doing
such other acts as will tend to i'm
prove and beautify the city. Also, to
advance the moral, educational and
social welfare of the community and
to aid in such humane efforts as may,
from time to time, be deemed advisa-
