Hon. w. w. Barrett, commissioner

vestigations in the direction Of forestry

Prof. George L. Clothier, agent Of the

%conversant with the habits, functions
and uses Of trees, is developing the for
estry working plan OF the department
at Washington, furnishing drafted
plans for tree planting about the home,
places of individual farmers who may
seek his corporation, advice and as
sistance. He is doing much practical
work among the farmers located in the
seven states w which he has juris-
diction in the direction of which he is
required to work. He gives 1t as his
opinion that, in the points Of hardi-
ness, durability and growth. III all

At the Turtle mountains these two
Investigators found the timber near the
lakes most compact. extensive, large
and healthy, the general height being
from forty-five to sixty-fve feet, with
diameters ranging from ten to eighteen
inches, and, in some instances, to two
feet. The aspen and Balm Of Gilead
trees are most abundant. M
Mr.. Barrett made a careful inspection
Of the lakes, which are numerous and
all contain fresh water, being fed
largely by means of springs, and r
admirably fitted for fish culture. In
1899 he furnished black bass for Fish
lake, at the east end Of the mountains.
They have made good growth since
that time, being now from n inch to
over six inches in length.

Pekin,%ssOct. 3, via Tien-tsin, Oct 6,
via Shanghai, Oct. 9.-By an imperial
decree, issued at Tai Yuenfu, capital
Of the: province Of Shanghai, dated
Sept. &c. Emperor Kwang Su de-
nounces the Boxer movement and
designates for punishment nine ring
leaders. He acknowledges his own
fault and 9rebukes himself, but he
places the chief blame upon the
I princes and. mobiles who participated
lin the movement and protracted it.
Prince Tuan. Prince Chung. Prince.
TsaisLlcn, Prince Tsai Ying, Duke San
Kang, Wing Men, president Of the
~censorate, and Chat Su Chiao, pr,esi-
r.Hent of the board OF punishment, are
all deprived Of their titles, removed
from office and turned over to various
trial boards: for further penalties.
Tuan, by the terms of the decree, is
to be tried by the board of clans.
The foregoing .corroborates the Of
flcial advjces received last week from
Director General, Sheng by Mi. WI,
the Chinese Minister at Washington,
and by the latter communicated to
the department of state. Copies of
the decree have been received here
and are accepted as genuine. 1t is
reported that Tnng Flu Slang has fled
to the p~rovince.sof Shang ST. fearing
punishment. The impression is grow
ing that the imperial government is
making an effort to dispense and
punish the Boxers. The imperial
troops who were seen Monday near
Pei Ia Chu, are believed to have been
concerned in this movement. The act
ing viceroy at Tien-tsin was notified
that orders had been issued to dis
perse the Boxers, but said he feared
to send out troops because of the pres
ence Of the allied forces. An extended
japanese reconnaissance south of Pc,
kin uncovered the enemy. This after
noon the American troops were re-
viewed by Gen. Chaffee in front OF
the temple OF heaven. All the foreign
stats were present. "

London, Oct. s.-The Standard has
the following from Tien-tsin, dated
Friday, Oct. s.: AZ. German force came
into collision with 5000 Chinese de-
scribed as Boxers, a few miles south
Of Tien-tsin this morning. The Ger
mans were attacked and compelled to
retire on Tien-tsin. There is reason
to believe that the Chinese in this
cas were not Boxers, but were Ii

who has not closely followed the improve

ties establishment at the ma gnltude of the
undertakings and admiration for the pro-
moters A few months ago it was little
less than a rugged ugly beach, with one
or two buildings that seemed inappro-
pirate and out of place To-day many
buildings and machinery has transformed
its appearance beyond recognition.
Crowded trains sometimes running at
short intervals are carrying thousands Of
people and the place is attracting wide
spread notice. 1t is possible, indeed we
may say probable that in the very near
future Chesapeake Beach may be a popu-
lous city of more than ordinary popula-
ton. Bathing, merry go round, scenic
railway and other attractions have already
been built and many others perfected.
Many buildings are under construction
1t is we'll worth "Trip to the Beach to see
the extent and magnitude of the under
takings.
SO much for the Chesapeake Beach
Company, which made promises and
promptly redeemed them. The Drum
Point concern, however, is seeking sue
cor here and there making boasts and
promises. all of which end in smoke

For Dollar Wheat.

A movement is on foot to bring the
farmers and grain growers Of the world
into an association the purpose of which
will be to get the combincd farmers in
all parts of the world to restrict the
acreage of wheat and other crops, SO as
to raise the price, in the case Of wheat,
to 81 bushel.
In the opinion of those who are inter
ested in the movement for a worlds as
ISOLATION it will be quite practicable to
secure an agreement to reduce the acre
age and form plan for giving universal
information, and in this way double the
price. In the same way it is hoped that
the cotton growers can be brought to-
gether and the acreage reduced until the
price ranges in the neighborhood Of 10
cents pound. Other crops will of
course, be taken into consideration, but
rs wheat and cotton are the main staples
on which the farmer depends for money
crop, the greatest endeavors will be used
in the direction of reduction of an
acreage of these.
A worlds congress of farmers is to be
held in Paris from the 9th to 10th of July
at which the representatives of the various
farmers organizations and individual
farmers throughout the agricultural sec
ton of all countries will be present.
