The shortleaf pine is decidedly q
species that requires ample sun.

stand, therefore. Of old Der, where
only a limited amount Of sunlight
reaches the soil, it is difficult for the

plants soon anguish under the dense

this young growth is from fire, which
the farmers are in the habit of set

ton OF the old trees, is comparative
ly slow. These old pines are COM
monty known in Arkansas as Heart
Pine, on account Of the large per-
centage OF heart wood. The second
growth pines, which have large
amount of sapw BOD, are called "Bull
Pine."
The Heart Pine will stand ex-
posure to the weather about four
times as long as the Bull Pine, but
! the latter takes much higher pol
ish and hence is more valuable for
all interior work.
In old fields and hurricane
breaks the young pines all start to
grow at about the same time, and,
as they eIjoY ample sunlight, make
rapid progress. 1t should he noted,
| however, that the trees of q forest
usually increase more rapidly In

early and middle part OF their life.
especially when the stand IS q

Of the large timber in a dense forest
should be removed, the effect on the
trees left standing would be to ac-
celerate their growth in diameter
| In d general way it may be said
/ that he "bull pine" is increasing
one inch in diameter a t the l.eight OF

case OF the "heart pine, one inch in

most important species. White and
post OAK are the most valuable.
FOREST MANAGEMENT.
Nearly all the timber lands owned

are virgin forests; hence there is q
large amount of old mature pine,

His Antecedents and Movements Prior
to the Assassination.

FLORENCE, Aug. Following is a
detailed account Of the anteoedents of
Gaetano Bressi, the assassin of King
Humbert, and of his movements prior
to the assassination:
Bressi was born Nov. 10, 1869, in Co.

north of Florence. He began work as a
shoemaker, but studied in q technology
cal school at Prato for a time and thus
became weaver, which occupation he

factory in Prato.
After strike in 1902 he left Prato
and went to work in the Unninis facto-
ries at Florence. A year later he re-
turned to Prato, where he was employed

Brosci returned to Prato on June d.,

hshed at Paterson, N. J.
Brosci travelled from New York via
Paris and on June ii applied to the mu-
nicipal authorities Of Prato for birth

CHINESE TRYING TO
DELAY THE ADV ANCE
Minister WI Calls on Secre-
tary of State Hay.
HIS OFFICIAL DISPATCHES

They Are Submitted as an Evidence OF
Good Faith-Emperor Issues Edict
Directing That All Foreigners In the
Empire Be Protected.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The safety OF
the ministers at Picking being Temporal,
rily assured, the attention of the gov.
ernment is now being directed toward
two objects; first, to effect the perma.
nent safety of the ministers by bringing
them away from Peking, and second
to hasten the advance on the Chinese
capital. The Chinese government /;
employing every device automatically
to prevent the forward movement of the
international column Ii Hung Chang
is the main reliance to encompass thi;
purpose, but he is hampered by the OBJ
tuseness of the Peking officials.
Our government is willing TO render
such assistance as it properly can, but II
must be upon the terms already laid
down.
1t is said here that the one possible
means of stopping the forward move,
ment of the column within the reach OF
the Chinese government is an instant
compliance with the first demands Of
the powers, namely, that the ministers
be put in free communication with their
government. It has been suggested tC
the authorities that they send an EN-.
bassy immediately to Tlen Tsin, clothed
with full authority to deal with the sit
uation and given unlimited power tC
| afford reparation for injuries inflicted
upon the internationals. If this is pre-
coded by the release of the minister;
from the siege there is possibility that
| the powers temporarily will suspend the
military movement which may in the
| end be rendered unnecessary if the en-.
bassy meets the demands of Europe anG
America.
Meanwhile Admiral Remey cables
that mere marines-those who crossed
on the Grant, under Major Biddle. are
being sent to T1en Tsin. indicating the
intention of the military commanders
there to make an early start.
The advices from Ii Hung Chang
brought to the state department by Min
lister Wa, affords the strongest evidence
of the desire of the Chinese government
to escape from its present predicamen
and certain J seem to afford reasona
BILE guarantee for the bodily safety OF
the legationers, pending the outcome Of
conditions respecting the abandonment
| of the Picking campaign.

PROTECTING FOREIGNERS.
Imperial Edict Issued at the Request
of Ii Hung Chang.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The Chinese
minister called at the state department
at an early hour here and presented Mr..
Hay some of the latest correspondence
that has passed between Ii Hung Chang
and the imperial government. The min
ister's dispatches state that on July 10
Ii Hung Chang and several of the most
influential viceroys memoralized the en-
peror TO extend protection to all foreign
ers in Picking and elsewhere in China.
The reply to this memorial was de-
layed for some time and the viceroys
presented another petition asking that
the ministers should either be given safe
escort from Picking or that free commu-
nication should be opened between them
and their governments. In reply to this
last memorial, the emperor, by imperial
edict, ordered all loyal Chinese to pro-
tect foreigners in the empire.
A copy of Lii Hung Changes petition
was presented to Secretary Hay, It
was presented by Minister WI from the
Chinese minister in London.
"Just received telegram from Pao
Ting Flu, of the sixth moon, twenty.
third day July 1Sl. The privy couuoil
had that day received an imperial ediot
as follows:
"'We have received the memorial of
Ii Hung Chang and others imploring

the various nations. Now the ministers
are all safe and well and Ii Hung Chang
is directed to wire to Yang Yu and 9TH

secretaries for foreign affairs accord
ingly. Respect this
"This telegram has been delayed in
its transmission. The other day and
other viceroys sent joint memorial re-
questing that the different ministers be
escorted out of Picking, or that they first
be enabled to communicate with letter
or wire to their respective governments.
