New York, Jan. l6.-A Paris speeiai
says:
Enthusiasm for the Beers is assuming
substantial shape among the French lni'
itary men. According to an investigation
made by Henri Rochefort, 2ll French o.
ficers have thrown up their COMMISSIONS
and have already taken service IN the
Transvaal army. Colonel de Villebois- Mar
euil chief of staff to General Joubert, Is
acclaimed as hero OF Colenso ana Is de-
scribed in the Partisan press as the COM
mander who has inflicted upon the English
their most dramatic defeat since the battle
of Yorktown Portraits OF de NllleDois-
Mareuil appear in newspapers and III ssop

chand as the popular favorite OF the mo-
ment.
Popular enthusiasm becomes keener
with each week that the war lasts, but
those who have had the most experience
in gauging true national sentiment IN
France say that the present outburst OF
feeling is caused not by love for Beers
but hatred toward England. Each British
check is described by military organs like
the Echo de Paris as Revenge for Fash

PRIESTS MAY MARRY.

New York, Jan. 13.-The Worlds
Rome cable says:
The Pope is contemplating an
order permitting the priests of the
Catholic Church to marry. The
first step has already been taken
in the encyclical to the bishops of
South America, in which permits
sion is given to the priests there
to take wives unto themselves.
Mgr. Galleza, rector of the Spa
nish College in Rome, says the
concession granted by the holy
Father to priests in South Ameri-
ca is to meet special conditions.
81 do not think his Holiness will
issue a general order releasing all
the priests of the church from
their VOWS of celibacy." Mgr.
Galleza continued. This ques-
ton of celibscy having been ests-
blished by a general council, 1
think that only general council
would have the authority to make
a change"
On the other hand, Mgr. Toll,
one of the most eminent jurists of
the Vatican, is firmly convinced
that the Pope purposes to abolish
the rule of celibacy for the priest
hood before he dies. Mgr. Tclli
says:
| 1.-THE day the Pope conceived
the great project of the union of
the Christian Church he must
have begun TO examine all the diff
fculties which might stand in the
way.
Zone obstacle, perhaps the
greatest of them all, is that in all
denominations except the Roman
Catholic Church, the priests and
ministers are permitted to marry
or net, as they choose.
II believe that after mature de-
liberation the holy Father has
reached the conviction that the
obstacle is not insurmountable.
81 am convicted that he will abo-
lish the enforced celibacy of the
clergy. I do not believe that there
would be a general encyclical af-
fecting the Catholic Church
throughout the world. That would
be too revolutionary. But I think
the change will come about by de-
grees, and that his order affecting
the priests of South America ia
the beginning"
The familiar rumors of a recon
ciliation between the Vatican and
the church in Italy have broken
forth afresh, but now they have
become more than mere rumors,
because there are sifinifcant facts.
The most important is the jubilee
and the opening of the sacred door
of st. Peter.
Plus TX established the jubilee
and the holy year for 1875, but
when that year came the project
was abandoned, upon the pretext
that the Pope, being prisoner,
could not preside over a jubilee. :
After mature deliberation, Leo
XIII proclaimed 1900 the holy
year, and announced that he would
personally open the sacred door.
Those whose opinion is authorita-
tive declare that this action on
the part of his Holiness can mean
only one thing-the longed-for
reconciliation.

influential members of the Sacred
College, and urged by Leo as his

RICE CULTIVATION.
Picaynne.


Notwithstanding the fact that
the rice production of this coun-
try in 1899 was quite large-the
largest years, perhaps-the i'm
ports of foreign rice showed a good
increase over previous years. This
would seem to indicate that the
consumption of rice is on the in
crease in this country. The i'm
portations of rice have varied
good deal from year to year, being
generally light when the domestic
crop was large, and vice versa.
During the past year, however, we
find large Importation added to
a large domestic crop, and salts
factory prices prevailing notwith-
standing.
It has always been a matter of
great concern to the rice growers
of this State that the rice con-
sumption increased 80 slowly. This
apparently slow increase in con-
sumption put limits to the expan-
sion of the industry in this State.
1t will, therefore, be a source of
much qualification to find evil
dences of a substantial growth in
consumption, because the adapta-
ton of irrigation to rice culture
has made a large acreage availa-
BILE for rice cultivation.
Although rice is a crop suited
to rather a wide area, as far as eli
mate is concerned, its cultivation
is limited commercially to such
areas as furnish great degree of
moisture in the atmosphere, cou-
pied with ample facilities for irri:
cation, and at the same time with
such a subsoil as permits easy
drainage in order to permit the
free use of harvesting machinery.
The extensive employment of
the same sort of machinery in har-
vesting rice which is employed in
harvesting wheat in the West has
greatly cheapened the cost of pro-
ducing and marketing rice, and
this and other economies would
make it possible for this country
to export rice in competition with
foreign rice, if the production
should ever exceed consumption,
which as yet is not the case. Amer
lean rice is as fine as the best
foreign rice, and. with some i'm
provements in cultivation, could
probably be made the finest in the
| world.
With respect to the area in the
United States suited to rice cult
walton, the following extract from
a paper by Prof. S. A. Knapp,
published by the Department of
| Agriculture, is interesting. It
says:
According to the best estimates there
are about 10000. 600 acres of land in the
five States bordering the Gulf Of Mexico
we'll suited to rice cultivation. The
amount which cali be successfully irri-
gated by present methods. using the
available surface and artesian flows.
does not exceed 100000 acres. The ba-
lance of the land could probably be
brought into cultivation were it neces-
sary, but the cost, would. perhaps, be
prOhibitive at present prices. Three
million acres is conservative estimate
Of the amount which can be successful
ly irrigated. The best results require
rotation OF crops; consequently only one
half OF that amount, or 100000 acres,
would be in rice at any one time. At al
average yields of ten barrels of 162
pounds per acre, 100000 acres of rice
would produce nearly 2,50O,OO0,OOO
pounds of cleaned rice, nearly six times
the amount Of our present consumption
Much of this available land is
