Frofts Of German Farms.

For the purpose of furnishing infor-
nation with reference to new commercial
treaties investigations concerning the
protitableness of large number of farms

kingdom of Wurttemberg Ninety four
were selected. including the smallest and
hose of several hundred acres The ap-
praised value amounted to $2,970,000; the
average value per acre to $225, varying
from $75 to $3.50. The average profit per
acre was 81, or LIP per cent. of tho total
appraised value. The several establish
ments, however, showed very different re-
suits. OF the 81 farms, nine worked with
loss. OF the remainder. only 16 returned
interest on the working capital; 10 yielded

How to Make Worthless Cur Useful
The Saturday Evening Post.

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson SAYS
that in Nebraska nowadays the skins Of
superiluous dogs are tanned and made
into gloves-a plan which affords a val
liable suggestion, inasmuch as every large
community kills off great numbers of ours
annually, the hides Of which might Just
as well be utilized as wasted. Dogskin.
of course, is one Of the best materials for
gloves, and for this purpose we import
hundreds of thousands of dollars worth
OF caLine pelts annually. In Manchurfa
and on the eastern borders of Mongolia,
where the severe cold develops a beautI-
full growth of hair, are found thousands
of hocks of young dogs. There is great
demand for both dog skins and dog hair
in northern Asis. A bride in Mongolia
or Manchuria commonly receives a num-
Der of live dogs as wedding presents.

Causes of Irritation

Eugene De Bayier, merchant who
left the scene Of the Boxer outbreak less
than two months ago, has arrived in this
country. De Bavier thinks the Empress
has been much misrepresented, and de-
clares she is not blindly opposed to re-
form, but understands the Chinese char
acter and knows that it is fatal to try to
proceed too rapidly. The Emperor was
mere puppet in the hands of few ex-
treme progressionists. He also SAYS that
the people have great deal Of justice in
their hatred of foreigners. Religious
feeling has practically nothing to do with
the case. The people do not care enough
about their neighbors' souls to become
religious fanatics Trouble arises only
when civil privileges are affected, and the
missionaries, with the best intentions in
the world, are often at the bottom OF it.
when a local Mandarin imposes tax
es," continued Mr.. De Bavier, "even if
they are excessive, the 'heathen' Chinese
pay them. The native Christians, how
ever, whenever they imagine themselves
ground down by unjust taxation, run
With their troubles to the nearest mis-
sionary. These missionaries, instead of
going to the local Mandarin, as they
shonid, talk the matter over with him,

ing down the local Mandarin and reduc.
ing the Christians taxes. This prac-
tee cannot fail to cause envy and jeal-
ousy against the native Christians, who
are thus, at the intercession of foreign
powers, let of from so much of duties to
the Empire which the other Chinese have
to perform, as there is no one to take
| their part.
''The Chinese taken into the foreign
colonies have also been exempted from
the native obligations, and this also has
;neensed the Mandarins. The point of the
whole matter is that all the foreigners

How They Lived in Ladysmith During the
Siege.


Orchard Harding Davis in ScribHer's)
Life in Ladysmith was a little worse
than being confined in a Jail, for Jail
has at least the advantage of being a
comparatively safe and secluded habIta-
ton. The smoke of Long Tom" on Bull
wana, which was the gun of the greatest
terror to the inhabitants, could be seen
for % seconds before the shell struck In
the town, and, in order to warn people
of its coming, sentinels were constantly
on watch to look for the smoke and to
give the alarm. At one hotel the signal
was the ringing of bell, the Indian cool
les used an iron bar swung from rope
whicn ts-. beat with another iron bar,
and the different regiments enjoyed the
services Of their buglers. So that the in
stant white puff of smoke and hot
fash of fire appeared on Bulwana, there
would be thrilling toot ON the bugles, a
chorus of gongs, bells. and tin pans, and
the sound of many scamperiDg footsteps.
1t was like a village Of prairie dogs div
ing into their underground homes. But
the familiarity soon bred indifference, and
after a few weeks only small number
of the people sought refuge under the
iron roofs and sand-bags, but walked the
streets as freely as though the shells
weighing a hundred pounds were as in
nocent of harm as the dropping of the
gentle dew from Heaven.
Indeed, the shells were not the chief
danger that walked abroad in the streets
of Ladysmith; lack of food and exercise,
bad water, and life underground soon
bred fever, and its victims outnumbered
those of Long Tom nearly ten to one. By
this time the military authorities had
complete control of all food, and distrib-
uted it impartially. They ''commandeered'
the hens, who, so it is said, refused to
lay eggs as soon as they found they were
worth 6 shillings apiece, and ordered all
breadstuffs to be sold at public auction
They seized cows and all kinds of eata-
bles for which they paid a fair price and
which were reserved for the good of all
The whole town, without distinction, was
on fixed rations, which the people drew
each day at appointed places.

TRYING TO MAKE TERMS
But One Possible Means of Stopping
the Forward Movement.
FREE COMMUNICATION With MINISTERS
Compliance With This First Demand of Powers
May be Followed by Some Modifca-
ton in The Plans of the
PoWnrc
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, August 1.-The Chinese
Im-eria! Government is putting forth
the most powerful effort to secure through
negotiations the abandonment of the
international movement upon Pekin.
The cablegrams received at the State
Department today from Earl Ii Hung
Chang all tend to demonstrate the de-
sire of this leader to secure the succor
of the Ministers at Pekin and their de-
livery at Tien Tsin if this can be safely
effected, trusting that in return the in
ternational column can be halted. I'm
questionably a proper assurance of the
safe delivery of the Ministers would
have some effect upon the temper of the
powers, and it is possible that the United
States Government would give an ear
to Overtures in that direction were not
the attempt made by the Chinese to i'm
pose conditions upon the delivery made
altogether Objectionable. Such, for in
stance, is a stipulation that the Chinese
Imperial authorities shall be absolyed in
advance from the consequences of the
attempt and for liability for what has
taken place in Pekin. The first Sipula-
tion might be regarded as a direct in
vitation to the Boxers" to murder the
Ministers on their way to the coast and
therefore our Government will leave it
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1900-08-02

to Mr.. Conger himself whether or not
he regards it as safe 20 leave Pekin,
when the opportunity is held out. It is
said here that the one possible meapa Of
stopping the forward movement OF the
column within the reach OF the Chinese
Government is an instant compliance
with the first of the demands Of the
powers, namely that the Ministers be
put in free communication with their
Governments. It has been suggested to
the Pekin authorities THAI they send an
embassy Immediately to Tien Tsin cloth
ed with full authority to deal with tle
situation and given unlimited power r9
afford reDaration for the INJURIES in
tlicted upon the internationals. If this
is preceded by the release of the Minis
ters from siege, there is q possibility
that the powers temporarily Will suspend
the military movement, which may in
the end, be rendered unnecessary if the
embassy meets the demands OF Europe
and America.
Meanwhile there has been no change
as to the military program OF which our
Government was today advised. The
senior United States naval officer at
Taku already is under the most positive
instructions to urge q forward move
ment, these having been sent by Secre-
tary Long just after the receipt Of the
original Conger message, and he also was
advised of the intention of the Govern
ment to add to his force These matters
are referred to in the belated dispatch
from Tien Tsin which touches upon the
military situation and the prospects Of
a speedy forward movement. But no ad-
ditional instructions on this point were
sent to the United States army officer
today and the Government is allowing it's
officers on the spot to shape their own
campaign, relying particularly upon the
very full and comprehensive instructions
previously given to General Chaffee both
in person and by cable upon his arrival
at Nagasaki.
Secretary Root said today that there
had been no developments in the diplo-
matte situation, which would delay the
advance on Pekin. and that General
Chaffee had orders to cover any contin-
gency which might arise. statement
has been made in the dispatches from
Europe to the effect that the United
States is pushing General Chaffee for
chief command 1t was said at the War
Department today that such was not the
case, though it was recognized that the
situation might be such as to make it
necessary for him to accept the COM
mand if rendered by the other powers.
MINISTER'S SAFE AND WELL.
The Chinese Minister called at the
State Department early today and pre-
sented to Secretary Hay a dispatch
from Ii Hung Chang received last night
from the Chinese Minister at London

the kind of stuff that can be scared by
soldiers. They've seen guns before, and
all the troops in North Caroina cannot
today defeat the determination of the
people to pass the amendment ana eject
an ti-Butler Legislature.
No man may stay the grand column TO-
day as it moves against Negro Rule. one
might as we'll strive to detain the MISS
issippi with his finger. The people are
aroused and there's none with art OF
strength enough to hold them. But on
those plain terms announced by that phll-
osonher of State who set forth that eter-
nal vigilance is the price of liberty, the
News and Observer states again that the
States present condition calls deeply for
vigilance and duty today on the part OF
every honest white man.
Not to hang a william, but to thwart
one.
Troops have been called out to intimi-
date you. and the very breeze around
the State capitol is heavy with the odor
of plot and counterplot for your un-
doing.
1t is the work of Butler and Russell.
The one suggested and the other accom-
plished the outrage. One is as blackly
conscienceless as the other-both are on
a par.
To speak thus plainly and unpleasantly
touching the Governor is no sweet duty.
No Tar Heel likes to think i'll of his
States ruler. RottenneSs in the eXecu-
tive office taints all the institutions, and
a stain on the Governor is stain on the
State For all of which there is none
who do not strive to think we'll of him.
But what is one to do when the unworthi-
ness of the man for the high office comes
home and proves itself to every sense
and smell and touch.
Russell has lent himself to a miserable
time-se and office seeker. In calling
out troops on complaint of private citi-
zen and keeping them under arms when
they are not needed, he arrogates unto
himself Czar-like means of coercion that
comport i'll with Republican institutions.
Governor Russell's unfitness for the
office he occupies shines and glows and
shows like a lamp at midnight in this
troops business.
If he is wise he will dismiss them at
once.
