spondent says that Mr.. Barton, premier.
in an interview, replied to the accusa-
tons made by Mr.. Reid in debates in
the commonwealth parliament.
Mr.. Barton says the policy embodied
in the immigration restrictions bill was
decided upon before any ministers knew
Of the principles and policy laid down in
the dispatch sent by Mr.. Chamberlain.
Mr.. Barton's memorandum in regard to
the dispatch which caused such bitter
dispute in the commonwealth parliament
was it is claimed, only a reiteration Of
the views the cabinet held previous TO
the receipt of the letter from the colo
nal secretary.
The education test provided by the i'm
migration restriction bill is that the i'm
migrants must write so words in English
from dictation by an immigration officer.
Mr.. Borton says the majority of the
members of the federal parliament favor
the substitution of an European language
for English at the discretion of the emf
grant. This point has not yet been de-
cided upon. Mr.. Barton does not favor
the suggestion that the Japanese Ian
guage be allowed as a test.

HOP SHORTAGE EXAGGERATED
Hugh Fox, Crop Expert and Authority
on Hops, Makes Tour Of =-
Inspection.
(By Associated Press.


New York, Oct. Hugh F. Fox, who
has just returned from a view Of the
hop growing section up the state, gave
to a reporter Of the Journal of Com
merce his views on the situation there
THE shortage in New York state"
he said, has been very greatly exag-
gerated. There is no doubt that very
considerable decrease exists in some of
the large growths in Otsego, Oniad and
Madison counties. The shortage, is
however, confined to these counties, and
a good many Of the smaller growers in
these districts have raised more hops
than last year, while there is some new
acreage which has come into bearing for
the first time. The net shortage in New
York state will not exceed 5000 bales in
my judgment.
VERY few hops have been baled as
yet" Mr. Fox added, partly because of
the continued dry weather, but princi-
pally for the reason that nearly all the
farmers are now raising silo corn for
winter fodder and are, busy getting It in
The bulk Of the crop will not be baled
for some weeks yet" Wv

NORTHERN PACIFIC
ANNUAL MEETING OF N. p. IN
NEW YORK CITY TODAY.
MORGAN TRAVELLING WEST
Remarkable Secrecy Maintained by All
Closely Interested Parties on Prob
able Action of the Sharehold-
ers Meeting.
(By Associated Press.)

New York. Oct. 1.-The Journal of
Commerce says: Today is the
day of the annual meeting of the
Northern Pacific stockholders. The in
tense interest with which this event
was looked forward to, since the North
ern Pacific corner and accompanying
panic last May has subsidized somewhat
since the announcement in midsummer
by ]. P. Morgan that a settlement had
been effected. The indications are that
the meeting will pass off without unsu-
al excitement. Mr.. Morgan. OF course.
is now on his way to the Pacific coast.
Up to yesterday afternoon Presi-
dent Mellen had not appeared at
his office and it was not known there,
APPARENTLY. whether he would be here to
attend the meeting or not.
Interests closely Unidentified with
Northern Pacific would say nothing in
advance Of the meeting. A member of
the firm Of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., positively
declined to discuss the matter, while
President James J. Hill, of the Great
Northern, who is also a member of the
Northern Pacific board, would make no
statement. Under the circumstances it
is a question whether the meeting will
disclose where the majority of Northern
Pacific stock actually lies. In his letter,
it will be recalled, ]. P. Morgan named
the following persons as new members
Of the board of directors: James ]. HILL
president Of the Great Northern Rail-
way company; E. H. Hartman, chair
man Of the executive committee of the
Union Pacific Railway company; Will
lam Rockefeller. director Of the Chica-
go, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway COM

PIANOS AND RANGES BARRED
Kitchener Prohibits the Carrying Of
Articles Of Luxury With the
Mobile Columns,
(By Associated Press.)

(By Associated Press.)
New York, Oct. 1.-Discussing the
South African situation, a London cor
respondent says:
While Lord Kitcheners orders pro-
kitchen ranges with mobile columns is
exciting the ridicule OF the French and
German press, 1t does not indicate the
real source of the weakness of the Brit
ish campaign in South Africa.
Military men who know the secret
story of the opera tons, assert that the
luxurious habits Of the officers have been
a less serious obstacle than the lack Of
harmony and pirit in the corps. They
state that British officers have always
stood by each other and worked together
until this campaign, but that they have
been pulling apart and intriguing against
one another during the last year. Mill
tary feuds and jealousies have been the
chief obstacles encountered by Lord
Kitchener, if these candid friends Of the
British army are correct in their judg-
ment. The judgment of Zulu forts, as
the details are now explained, indicates
that the army remains in good fighting
form. Inc accounts are contradictory,
and there are missing links in the nara
tive, but despite heavy losses it Is evil
dent that a gallant stand was made at
Fort italia against a superior force. The
Beers have again displayed great bravery
and determination in attacking strong
positions under Botha's leadership and
have dispelled the illusions that their
operations can be described as guerrilla
raids.
The war Office is drawn second time
in emphatic denials Of any want Of CO.
operation and harmony between Lord
Kitchener and the military authrities
at home.

CHECK on GENERAL BOTHA
Neutrality Made by Commandant
Botha's Beer Sympathies.
(By Associated Press.)

10y ASSOCIHCGU FTeSS.1
London, Oct. IA dispatch from Pre-
toria says that while Conmandant
General Botha was attacking the Natal
forces a party of about 40 Beers invaded
Zululand and raided cattle belonging to
the natives. The burghers then offered
to return the cattle if the chief would
undertake not to defend the border
against the Beers. The chief replied
that he would remain true to his king.
Botha's move on the border, says the
correspondent, was clever, and enabled
him to strike a point long distance
from any railway. Now, however, his
only alternatives are the invasion OF
Zululand or a rapid retreat along its
northeast frontier.
