According to the North China Herald, she
has dispatched a circular to the govern
ors and vicerOys of maritime provinces

powers ON Chinese soil. This edict calls
upon the governors to resist all aggres-
sion and protect their ancestral homes
and graves from the INVADERS" by force
of arms, if necessary, without asking in
structions from Peking
All the Chinese papers say that the
Russians and French are backing the hand

throning the young emperor.

VIII BE Brought to Trial.

Manila, Feb 2l.-The military COM
mission meets at Calamba to try the men,
bers of the guerilla band which attacked
the squad of Americans February ?, kill
ing corporal.
The charges are murder and assault
with intent to kill. The case is import
ant as foreshadowing the policy of treat
ing guerillas and bandits. 1t is supposed
that one reason which has hitherto de-
tered the American authorities from
adopting this policy is that the insurgents
have more than so American prisoners
and may retaliate.

No PoIygamist Need AppIy.

The house committee on election of
president and vice president submitted
a report in favor of a joint resolution
for a constitutional amendment dis
qualifying polygamists as senators or
representatives in congress and prohib-
iting polygamy and polygamous asso-
citation between the sexes. The report
says this amendment to the constitu-
ton is designed to remove all doubtful
construction of the law and to effectu-
ally provide means of extirpating the
evils of polygamy by making it unlaw-
full in any place. 1t refers to the Rob-
erts controversy and says that while
the decision of the house established a
precedent it is not one of absolutely
binding force, so that a constitutional
enactment is desirable.

II TUNIs SHEEP.

The Tunis sheep have just won a
great victory over the older breeds OF
sheep 10 this country, says Charles
Roundtree In National Stockman. In
July shipped 300 lambs to the Chi
cago market, consisting OF grades and
ten full blood lambs, and topped the
market At S. IS for the grade lambs
and q per cwt. for the pure blood
lambs. averaging IS pounds there.
These ten lambs were only the culls
out OF 230 lambs at Locust Grove OF
this years breeding. These lambs
were strictly fat and VI fine finish and
shows what can be done with proper
breeding and care. Our Tunis sheep
have exceeded our most sanguine ex.
pectatiOns since We brought them to
Indiana from the South in 1899. This
small flock of Tunis sheep found in
South Carolina had been inbred for
more than 10 years and had stood the
torrid climate there where all other
breeds had been tried and proved a
failure. This line OF continued in
breeding has made them the most pre-.
potent breed OF sheep on the continent,
Or anywhere the celebrated Won HON.
yer Rambouiilets not excepted. As
crossbreeds they stamp their impress
so strongly as to revolutionizc any Of
the old breeds from the Merino to the
DorSets, even the typical SOuthdown
Ia combination becomes better wooded
and also increased in dairy properties,
giving a large amount Of milk, which
is the life Of the carly market lamb.
As our sheep are just being re.intro.
duced 10 this country again, like the
Children OF Israel when they came
out Of bondage from Egypt, led back
to their native land to possess it, I
shall give sheep breeders a few reasons
why Tunis sheep are superior:
l. Tunis sheep are very strong In
constitution, enduring llardships and
climatic changes, either cold, hot or
wet, and will succeed where other
breeds will fail.
2. They breed at any time in the
year wanted, mature quickly, fatten
easily and produce a superior quality
OF mutton.
3. Tunis yves are the best Of moth.
ers, being largely on the dairy order.
giving a large flow OF milk some Eng.
lish breeds so much lack.
4. The Tunis sheep are great hust-
lers and will live and thrive where the
heavy English breeds cannot.
S. We should breed the Tunis sheen
for the sole reason that they are Just
what the demand now calls for in our
early market lambs, medium sized,
light boncd, and have proven by kill.
Ing tests their superiority over all
other breeds, showing a larger per
cento dressed meat to the live weight
and OF superior quality, being equal
In many respects to venison.
