RUSSIA WILL ACT
INDEPENDENTLY

st. Petersburg, Oct. 1.-THE Russian
government announces that it's attitude
in China Will be one of increasing In
dependence of the concert of the pow
erS. Russia. it is explained, is dis
posed to attach less value to joint ac-
ton, since her interests have been fully
secured by the successful campaign in
Manchuria. Moreover. Russia is not
willing to follow the irreconcilable
policy of some of the powers"
The expectation is that the Chinese
government is about to utilize all its
resources of duplicity to keep the pow
ers occupied with vain negotiations and
proposals and the dlspatching of notes
in order TO gain time until the winter.

prevent military operations and allow
China to prepare her resources for Il
spring campaign.
Washington. Oct. 1G.-'The cable dis
patch from st. Petersburg indicating
that RusSia's attitude in China will be
independent of the concert of the pow
ers caused no surprise among officials
here. 1t was begun by Germany and
the expedition against Pao Ting Flu
started, that Russia was among the
powers which did not join in the move
ment
The dispatch from st. Petersburg is
looked on as merely another step sini-
lar to that taken when Russia with
held support from the Pao Ting Flu on
pedition and other aggressive military
moves. Moreover. ii is regarded as
quite in conSOnance with the pacific
tendencies of this government, which
have been directed all along to secur
ing settlement by diplomatic means,
rather than by the sword.

confirmed from any other point.
The evidence of Prince Tuan's con-

depression in trade here.

that the court is now in safe keeping

MINING GOSSIP.

The Alaska-Treadwell stamps have

eighty-five per cent. of that fine gold,

Some millmen claim that the forma-

be prevented by binding them on the
tops and sides, with iron strips, and
that the acid in the pulp will attack
the iron in preference to copper, leav-

New Hybrid Canna.

j. A. Kemp of Dickson county.
Tenn, writes to Rural New Yorker
that he has at last succeeded in
blooming a hybrid between the Or
chid-fowering or Italian type OF Can
mas, and a dwarf Gamma OF the ordi-
nary French or bedding type. The
Italian Cannas are supposed to be d.
rect hybrids OF Gamma flaccida, our ma
tive southern species, while the
French varieties have descended from
Gamma lndica and other tropical forms.
A horticultural Arm in Italy has pro-
duced and disseminated all the Cannas
of the Orchid-aowering type now in
commerce, except the yellow variety,
Burbank, which was grown by Luther
Burbank OF California.
A number Of fine varieties, varying
in color of foliage and bloom. all pro-
ducing flowers Of really enormous size.
are now becoming familiar in this
country, and countless have been the
efforts to hybridize these fine sorts
with the common bedding Cannas. in
order to secure greater substance OF
petal. and increased profusion of
bloom: but up to this time, the hy-
brids of Flaccida have proved sterile,
both as pollen and seed parents. Mr..
Kemp says that his pet is cross be-
tween Parthenope. an Italian variety
bearing very large reddish-salmon
flowers. and the Duke OF Marl-
borough, the darkest crimson
bedding variety. the latter be-
ing the seed parent He says that the
resulting flowers are Of the most
gorgeous crimson coloring. but not OF
much better substance than the best
OF the italian type. He Is glad to
show that our southern climates are
favorable to work of this character
and to demonstrate the possibility OF n
cross that has heretofore failed In
many expert hands.

he bulletin coucli

Ihe bulletin concludes as follows:
1T may be stated that during the
years in which the course of wages
declined. the rates of 1891 and 1892 in
many instances remained unchanged.
ana In like manner during the last few
years, in which the general course of
wages has been upward the wages in
these instances have not of course. re-
sponded to the general rise in other
instances the per cent. was notably
large during the years Of depression.
while during the last two years of the
period the reverse is true and n much
larger increase really took place than
that indicated by the table.
In other words. wages in some IN
stances show but little huctuation
while In other instances they are much
more sensitive, responding quickly to
general conditions of depression or ac-
nvity. The average condition or gen.
eral level only is shown in the table
and while, for the reasons stated, the
fluctuations during the period have not
beer so great as popular opinion would
indicate. the figures for 1899 and, 1900
show gratifying average increase
over the conditions of 1891 and 1892
when wages in gold were higher than
at any period In the history of the
country prior to the present year.

Decrease.
Per Cent

With the exception of Albany and
Troy this decrease is more apparent
than actual and is the result of the
census frauds committed in 1890, where
there was n great rivalry between
neighboring communities. and they are
now suff ering the penalty. 1t is sig
nificant that there has been no remon-
STRANGE or complaint in many of the
cities named except Albany, and an in
vestigation has satisfied everybody
there that the original enumeration
was accurate. Lincoln, Omaha and
Sioux City, which have suff cred the

of those that have increased complain
that they Were not credited with their
full population: that errors were made
that whole blocks We're overlooked: ::
that considerable percentage of the
population was out of town on the day
of the enumeration. and have taken the
trouble in several cases to make Il po-
lice census, but in no case has the

degree sufficient to justify re-enumer-

The Illinois State Horticultural So
ciety will male an exhibit OF fruits,
consisting mainly of apples, at the
Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo,
in 1901. The exposition will open
May l and close November 1. and it
is intended to have the fruit exhibit
continuous, from the opening to the
close. The apples for this show must
come largely from this seasons crop,
and in order to have them properly
represent the fruit interests OF the
state the specimens must be carefully
selected, wrapped, packed and placed
in cold storage until wanted for ex-
hibition. The Horticultural Society
expects that fruit will. be contributed
for this purpose by individual gtpw-
ers, horticultural societies and other
organizations. Proper credit will be
given the grower, the society, and To-
cality by entering the fruit in the
name of the grower and society the
same as If he were making the exhibit
in person, and by placards upon the
fruit when exhibited, giving the grow
er's name, locality and state.
All fruit growers are asked to aid
in the matter of securing the fruit
from this state. The society will do
what it can, but it depends upon you,
the grower, to make the exhibit from
Illinois success. The exhibit will be
largely commercial one, that is, one

eign markets for apples, and this is a
