Russia's Minister VIII Go Alone.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 1.-THE Official
Messenger today publishes the following:
"The foreign Office received a telegram
today direct from Nj. DE Giers, the Russian
minister at the Chinese capital, from Pc
kin. The dispatch was evidently taken by
special courier to Isl Nan from the capl-
tai of Shun Tung and was thence tele-
graphed, August 7, by the local yamen.
IN. De Giers announces that the siege
of the legations continues, the besieged
still having some provisions left. The
Chinese government proposes to transmit
the ministers messages and that they leave
Pekin. As the ministers had not sufficient
guarantee they replied that they must re-
ceive the permission of their governments
before leaving the city,"
The Messenger then announces that the
ears approval has been given for NJ. De
Giers to start for Tientsn with his entire
staff and the marine guard, ON condition
that the existing government at Pekin
and the emperor afford them sure guar
antee that the journey can be undertaken
without danger.
At the same time NJ. De Giers is expect
ed to call attention to the heavy respon-
sibility of the Chinese government will in
slUnty that the Chinese government will
incur should there be the slightest infrac-
ton of the inviolability of the persons ac-
companying them to Tientsin.

The chief interest in the ChafTee dis
patch as made public by the navy depart
ment is the indication that the American
command was in the thick of the fight at
the capture of the important town of Yang

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE viceroys OF
China, including Ii Hung Chang have adj
dressed a request to the United States gov

powers to stop the landing OF foreign troops
at Shanghai. The state department re-
ceived the communication today from Min.

The document states that an agreement
was made about month ago by which the
foreign governments exercised the right Of

As Precaution.
London, Aug PA special dispatch
from Shanghai, dated Friday, August 10,
says the British consul general, replying to
protests of Chinese merchants against the
landing of troops, explains that this is
merely precautionary measure, due to the
fact that the disturbances north are spread

He also says Kiang Su is already in a state
of revolt, and that at Tai Tung there has
been serious rioting, the telegraph station
having been burned.

The Ell Pas0 Land Sharks.

Congressman Stephens, of Texas, has
just been inspecting the Mescalero res
ervation in Otero county. An Ell Paso
paper quotes him as saying that it is
the best part of New Mexico and that
he has been all owe New Mexico. Ii
Mr.. Stephens is correctly quoted, he
certainly does not know what a good
country is. 1t is also very doubtful if
he has been all over New Mexico. The
agricultural lands of the Mescalero res
%ervation are small in extent and are
now fully and completely taken up and
occupied by the Indians for their w
use. To be sure, a portion of the res
ervation is valuable for timber and
grazing and some of it is believed to be
favorable for mining, but when Mr..
Stephens says it is the best part of
New Mexico he says something that is
not so. 1t may be that some of the El
Paso and sharks and land grabbers
may have thought that some of the
liable to them, and hence have induced
Mr.. Stephens to go up there and make
this declaration. The New Mexican is
in favor of opening this reservation and
allotting land to the Mescaleros in sew
crafty. 1t is better for them and better
for the territory, but the New Mexican
is not in favor of having Mr.. Stephens
boss this job. Mr.. Stephens naturally
works for the interests of Ell Paso, and
the interests of Ell Paso are diametric-
ally opposed to those of New Mexico
II a bill is passed for the purpose OF
opening the Mescalero reservation fof
settlement, it should contain strong and
careful provisions to guard the rights
Of the Indians and also to see chat the
rich timber sections of the reservation
do not fall into the hands of 'imber
syndicates and FL Paso land sharks ard
land grabbers.

The product to which MI. Cromwell
refers is only one of many to which the
soil and climate of this section are
peculiarly adapted, which can be
grown here in practically unlimited
quantities, and of a quality much SUI
perior to that of like products grown in
any other part of the country.
Take for instance the celery raised
in New Mexico; wherever this article
has Deer introduced it has been pro-
nounced by all who have tried it, as
superior in YER respect to- the famous
Kalamazoo celery, which has hitherto
been recognized is the best in the
world, and which constitutes the chief
dependence of the Michigan city. Even
the California celery, which is not to
be named in the same day with the
New Mexico product, has become a
source of considerable revenue to that
state. This article alone, if it's produc-
ton were developed as it is capable of
being developed, might be made tc
bring as much money to New Mexico
as some of the grain growing states re-
ceive for their wheat crops. No other
evidence of the superior character OF
the article grown here need be submit

An Excellent Official.

Tho Now Mexican with great pleas
ure ~reproduces the following editorial
from the Albuquerque Citizen, and
takes occasion here and now to say that
it endorses fully every word contained
therein and hopes for the good of the
people of the territory and as a just re-
ward for distinguished services which
Governor Otero has rendered as exec
utive of New Mexico, that President
Mckinley next June will re-appoint
him governor of the territory:
1.-The criticisms of this paper on exist
to be twisted by our enemies into al
lacks upon Gov. M. A. Otero, who is
in no wise to blame for amy of the
abuses complained of. Our remarks on
the coal oil inspection law is a criti-
cism upon ourself, we having helped
to pass the bill in the last council. The
practical workings of the law has not
proven beneficial to the territory, and
it should be repealed or at least amend
ed so as to bring some event. to the
territory. 1t is possible that if the law
is merely repealed that the oil monop-
oly will pocket the present tax and not
reduce the price of oil. If this cannot
be arranged with the company, it
would be better to amend the law,
making the office of inspector a salaried
one, turning into the territorial treas
ury the whole of the inspection tax.
1t is u belief that Gov. Otero will
join in favoring every measure of legis-
lation beneficial to the territory. He
has made the best governor New Mex
leo has ever had, and deserves reap
pointment by President Mckinley.
The Citizen is not criticising existing
things in a fault-finding or malicious
spirit. We realize that statehood is in
sight, and wish to help correct any evils
that may now exist in the government
of the territory, and put the Republican
party in position to meet the opposition
with clean hands and the approval Of
the people.

TREE PLANTING.
Some of the Results Attained by the Dr.
vision Of Forestry.

The Division of Forestry has just
completed the first extended survey of
the results of the early tree planting
enterprises which has ever been made
in the Middle West. Hitherto there
has been no attempt to digest ON amy
considerable scale the experience which
might have been gained from these
plantations. The result has been that
though plantations of trees are every
where needed rs windbreaks n ready
sources of supply for fence posts, fuel,
ETC., they have hitherto been established
chiefly according to rules and customs
which were founded only ON loose gen
eralities and scanty experience. Since
last July, however, two field parties
from the tree-planting section of the
Division of Forestry have been Exam
lining large numbers of plantations in
Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, Iowa,
Missouri, and Oklahoma, with the pur-
pose of observing the effects of the soil
location, and methods of planting on
the growth of trees in as great a num-
Der of plantations as possible.
The summers work was begun near
Wichita, Kans., and under the direction
of Mr.. w. l.. Hall, Assistant Superin-
tendent of tree planting in the Division
of Forestry, was carried on by two
parties. One of these travelled north
ward as far as South Dakota and then
back again through Iowa and Missouri.
The other, with Mr.. Hall in charge,
made a thorough survey of the planta-
tons in southern Kansas, eastern
Arkansas, and the southwestern corner
of Missouri. Both of these parties lived
under anvas and We're thus able to
visit almost all the plantations in the
regions through which they passed.
The surveys which they made proved
most instructive as regards the in1u-
ence of methods Of planting, soil con-
ditions, exposure, etc, on the grow til
of the trees, and their results will
greatly facilitate the preparation of
planting plans in the future.
