TO EXCLUDE AsIATIc LABoRERs
SAN Francisco wOrkmen Send N Pc
fition to the President.

fitiOn to the President.
Thirty thousand organized worbmen in
San Francisco have addressed a petition
to President Mckinley on behalf Of the
labor unions of that city on the subject Of
Chinese and other Asiatic labor. The pc
tition is in part as follows:
'.As is well known. the question of Chi
nese labor has formed an important sub
ject OF discussion throughout the State Of
California for many years. The objection
to this species of labor has not been con-
fined to any one class, but has been shar-
ed by the people generally. with the pos
sible exception of the larger employing
interests. The strength of this sentiment
may be illustrated by the fact that in the
election of 1873 when the question of Chi
11ese immigration was acted upon directly.
the vote in San Francisco was 4l.03i
against and 81 in favor of admitting Chi
e to the State. 1t is practically GER
tain that public sentiment at the present
line holds relatively the same ground
Furthermore that sentiment now includes
other Asiatic races, the labor of which
already is or threatens to become seri-
Gus factor in competition with our citi-
zens.
The legislative barriers to the immi-
grafton Of Chinese as exemplified in the
Chinese Exclusion act, largely inadequate
as they have proven to be, are now IN
DANGER
The organizations Of employees in this
city are publicly bOasting of their sue
cess in destroying the organizations Of
labor.
The effect in the future of these atta><5
upon labor may be inferred from the re-
suits already apparent The hostility OF
the associated employers has hindered the
Industrial growth of the State and totally
ruined number of promising crafts In
the thirty years since 1919. the population
of our LeighbOring States, Washington
and oregon. has Increased 2il2 and ~

THE NEW YORK SUBWAY.
Permission For 1t to Run Under the
PoStoaice Building.

Progress on New York's subway viii not
suffer a setback because the city pOstoffice
is in the way. The Treasury Department
viii issue a license permitting excavation
under the building at the Park Row and
Mail Street corner.
When the work was contemplated Mr.
FRY. Superintendent of the Public Build
ings in New York. was fearful that eXca-
waiting under the postoffice building would
weaken the structure, and the plans for
the subway were seriously threatened.
After explaining the intended plans to
the Supervising Architect and other Of
fciaIs. Chief Engineer Parsons of the
subway project who came to Washington
Friday. obtained the consent of Secretary
Gage for a license to go on with the
work The license viii be reVocable to run
until Congress can act in the matter. but
there is no doubt expressed as TO the
granting of a permanent permit.
II has been explained to the satisfaction
Of the Treasury officials that the space
under the postOfiiCe building which viii be
utilized by the subway Will not injure the
building and viii only affect some old
vaults and engines that have not been in
use Tor long time.

PARKERSBCRG, w. Va. June 1.-THE
large amount of spurious coin in circula-

has led to the belief that a regularly or

This discovery recalls the famous band
of counterfeiters and their hidden cave

Something may ultimately come out Of
the British suggestion favorinS trans-At-
lantic yacht races but there are also le-
gitimate objections TO be urged. Sailing
yachts are not generally intended for such
voyages, but merely for short pleasure
trips Therefore the races should be Of
"A character fairly TO test them in the
work for which they are designed. In a
race across the Atlantic there are too
many elements Of chance The yachts
might become SO far separated that one
Of them would be becalmcd for hours,
while the other was pressing steadily on,
or without either being actually becalmod,
there certainly would be great inequa4i
tics ia the winds nv which they were re
spectively favored. In such races as those
of Sandy Hook. tho yachts meet on terms

hind Pettisrew. who proposed to deny
protection to trust-controlled articles, by
an amendment to the Dingley bill There
were trusts in existence then, and Mr.
Babcocll was a warm supporter Of the
system under which they have grown aud
nourished. But it is never too late to
repent, and II Mr.. BabcocS will maintain
his position consistently, he has an op-
portunity before him to make bright

that before very long he will discover

British census returns, while showing
no such phenomenal increase as marks
our own national growth, are nevertheless
indicative Of strong and healthful vital
ity in the United Kingdom. a gain Of
nearly four millions is pretty good for a
country from whom Mr.. Depew says We
have taken everything but its real estate.
Perhaps the most notable feature of
the situation is the fact that the conn
try's loss by emigration is becoming less,
whereas with increasing density of pop
ulation one would suppose that there
would be an increasing disposition to emf
CRATE But the falling off in the popula-
tiCn of Ireland, from which there was the
heaviest loss in this way, may IN large
measure account for the change.

Here IN the far West we have come TO

selves at least that alfalfa hay is eSscm-
tinl to the cheap production of milk
,mJ huttrr. Good alfalfa hay contains
over cighty-siX per cent. as much pro
t,in ,s bran. The amount of protein
in alfalfa varies from ten per cent.
when poorly cured and roughly nan
died to sixteen per cent. where the best
c,rr is taken. Average bran contains
lass thnu thirteen per cent. Of d'gcstihle
nrotrin. With good handling therefore
alfalfa hay can he cured Whlch is
worth more than its weight in bran
~ colorado our tests show that the
leaves of alfalfa hay contain over four,

The popular opinion regarding apples

nate with considerable regularity. This
is not always the case in Colorado, for
while orchards seldom bear two heavy
crops in succession. they usually bear
several paying crops hand-running. We
have known the older growers 10 have
eight full crops of apples in ten years.
There Is one man beginning with 1881
who had eleven paying crops i'll sue

rrcnter number had his orchard been
earlier and had not bad
