At the North Dakota Experiment
Station, in n study of its value for
work stock, barley was fed TO three
horses and two mules for nine months.
Timothy hay was given as roughage
during the trial. The mules did not
eat the barley, with marked relish at
any time, but for the first two months,
while doing light work, they con-
sumed all that was necessary to keep
them in working condition. At the
end OF two months, when the amount
Of labor was increased, they would not
cat correspondingly greater amount
OF barley. They soon began TO refuse
1t entirely for one, two, three and
four feeding times. They were then
changed TO an oat ration each alter
nate month. When a change to oats
came they would eat with apparent
relish and would regain some Of their
lost flesh. One OF the pair would re-
fuse the barley more regularly than
the other but neither coull be main

The Thoroughbred Cross.-We are
pleased TO know that there is a more
general inclination this season among
breeders OF trottlng stock to expert
ment with the thoroughbred cross than
has prevailed since the standard craze
swept over the country some twenty
years ago. says the American Horse
Breeder. This seems to us a sure In
dicat.on OF an improvement In speed
In the future, No practical breeder, Ia
fact, no theorist who has studied the
subject OF horedity, can find any
ground for calming that the introduc-
tion OF a carthorse cross has ever i'm
proved the speed OF any horse, no mat
ter what gait he or she may have
adopted. All the improvement in the
speed ability Of the light-harness horse
that has ever been effected has come
from the speedy, thoroughbred race
horse. Increased ability must come
from the same source.

Farm tenantry IS doubtless inc. cas-
ing in the United Statcs, and this fact
is one with which we must constantly
reckon. AS a result of tenantry, social
conditions become yearly worse In
many Of our farming communities. The
tenant does not feel that-he Is a fixture,
and takes little interest in the COM
munity. The owners OF the land in
too many cases prefer for a tenant
man without children, as there are In
that case none TO increase the district

lem that must be faced.

 Stricken Chinese.

Des Moines, Iowa. May 2.-Ministef Conger today received messages from a New York paper asking his cooperation In giving relief to the starving millions of Northern China.
 His telegram in reply was:
 '.rhe Christian Herald, New York:
 "Your telegram received. The suffering of the famine stricken people in Shan si is indescribable. Your plan of relief is best Put the matter in hands of our con suls at Shanghai and Ten Tsin and heads of mi ssions there. Chinese government and people will be grateful. Demands of humanity will be answered and future good will result. I send by letter t1o0.

 Minister Conger says the condition of the unfortunate people referred to is be- yond description.
 "Prince Ching told me two days before I left Pekip'' said Minister Conger, that these people were literally eating each other. They have eaten every blade ot grass, even bark, everything. in fact, tha, can be eaten in that province. Nothing has been raised there for two years anc uness relief is given many thousand: must perish.''
 MT. Conger will go East on Monday to be gone about two weeks.

DOES THE MONROE
 DOCTRINE APPLY?
U. s, Officials Investigating At- tempt of Germany to es-
 tabIish Naval Station

Although the matter never has figured before the State Department. the Navy Department has been closely watching the happenings near Margarita Island, on the coast of Venezula. which have given rise to the report that a German coaling station is to be established there. The facts have been reported to the depart officers who commanded vessels which have cruised in those waters recently. Last year a German warship spent ten weeks in looking into the possibilities of Margarita Island. and this fact led to an examination on our own account, which developed the presence in this im- portant stragetic point of one of the fn- est harbors in South America, the posses sion of which would afford the United States or any other nation with prac- tical navy control of the Panama canal from the eastern side. Aside from this island some of the best naval authorities hold that the Gulf of Cariaco, on the north coast of Venezuela, offers by far the most advantageous site for an Amer ican coaling station if one is to be located in that part of the world. In view of the report that German surveys in that quar- ter have been made. the naval authori- tives here are showing unusual interest in the points available for American use. tNs
 The State Department never has been called upon specifically to construe the Monroe doctrine so far as 1t might re- late to the attempt by a European gov ernment to secure a coaling station In the Gulf of Mexico or the Caribbean Sea.

Clifford of the Della ware Avenue Baptist church at its head. are concerned no further action will be taken looking toward the closing of the Pan-American Exposition on Sunday. The Rev Mir. Clifford tonight made the fol- lowing statement:
 '.So far as our committees are concerned no further efforts will be made to fight the Sunday opening of the exposition gates. nor will we attempt any legal pro- ceedings in the matter"
 Dr. Hathaway of the American Sabbath Union said: We think the directors of the exposition made a great mistake In passing their resolution to open the gates on Sunday. and that they have very little to gain by their action and much to loose
 However, the action is taken and what steps will be followed up by my organiz- ation are as yet uncertain
 The consensus of opinion among those fayoring the closing of the gates on Sun day seemed to indicate that the anti Sunday opening crusade was at an end.

CHICAGO MONEY
 WILL GOTO MEXICO
Capitalists Will Spend More Than Twenty Millions in
 Land of Greasers

Chicago. April 2.-The Tribune tomor- row will say:
 Chicago capitalists and millions of Chicago money are to develop the re- sources of Mexico until the southern re- public becomes one of the factors in the Worlds trade. Silver mines, supplying two-thirds of the silver of the world coal fields hundreds of miles in extent: great reaches of iron and other ore lands: thou great grazing lands dotted with cattle, are to be made the objects of the impulse of Chicago money
 .As first step in this direction John J. Mitchell and Levi 2. Letter have been elected to the directorship of the Mexi can Central Railroad. Bonded ware houses, heretofore unknown in the Re public. are to be erected at the City o Mexico and Vera Cruz Under the presen methods the Mexican. importer is com pelled to pay duty on his goods the mo ment they are landed In the United States imports may be stored until they can most opportunely be released and dis posed of. The concessions under which these great warehouses will be erected grants the right for forty years. Into this enterprise alone 1t is estimated that from s4, 4,000, 900 to $, 900 900 of Chicago money will be placed. Plans have been formulated for developing the great Mexican iron field at Durango and the coal deposits at Coahuila. Railroad facilities are to be provided where they are now lacking. and a total of $oo, ,ooo.o0o of money may represent the expenditures before the work Is completed

TIRE ROSS INCIDENT,
Some Reasons for the Dismissal of the
 Professor.

Stanford University. Cal. May 2.-In- terest in the Ross incident was revived today by the resignation of Professor Arthur o. Lovejoy, associate professor of philosophy Tn his formal letter of resig- nation Professor Lovejoy gives as his reason the dismissal of Professor E. A. Ross last November and the subsequent policy of the university administration. After expressing his conviction that pr. Ross was dismissed partly because of Mrs Stanford's objection to the partici- patton of university professors in politi- cal meetings, partly because of her ob- lection to the specific contents of Dr. Ross public utterances and partly be- cause of a vague fear of dangerous social tendencies which 1t was believed that his teachings were likely to foster Professor Lovejoy continues as follows:
 II don't know what is meant by the somewhat cant phrase academic free dom. It seems to lend itself readily to subtleties of interpretation. But cer- tainly conceive that the dismissal for such reasons of any instructor whom the president of the university has regarded as a fit person to retain involves an abridgement of liberties which 1t is the right and duty of university teachers -to demand Unless the members of our profession show themselves somewhat punctilous in the maintenance of those liberties especially In privately endowed institutions-I do not see how the digni- ty of the teachers position or the leader ship and social usefulness of universi- ties in our democratic society can be preserved 1t has become increa singly apparent. however. that the administra- ton of this university takes rather serious divergent view of the equities in- volved in the cases that have arisen here during the year I think 1t necessary to present my resignation"

German, Russian and French Ambassa-
 dors Call on Secretary Hill.

Washington. May 2.-The German and French ambassadors and MT Rogestvnski for the Russian ambassador. were among today's callers on Dr. Hill. acting secre- tary of state. The discussion was almost entirely on Chinese affairs. the press dis patches as to an agreement on S273, 900 indemnity. and on a change of customs duties, providing considerable interest in official and diplomatic quarters. None of the callers was able to confirm the re- ports, but the opinion was general that an agreement on indemnity had been reached. The prevailing view was that sz7s. .O0o, 600 represented a compromise be- tween the minimum amount urged by the United States and the maximum urged by the other powers. The original total of claims amounted to a half billion dollars. So that the present total represents cutting down of about per cent. At this rate the claim of the United States. which originally was about s25, 5,o0o0oo. will be cut to SIS, 900, ,000

Yokohama, May 2.-In consequence of the continued postponement by the Jap anese minister of finance, Viscount Wata- habe, of the carrying out of the expected public works, the cabinet crisis reached a climax yesterday. and Marquis Ito, the premier, after the cabinet meeting. pro- ceeded to the palace and rendered his res- ignation to the Mikado.
 All the other members of the cabinet did likewise with the exception of the minister of war, Baron Kodama.
 It is asserted that Marquis Ito advised Emperor Mutsuhito to entrust the task of forming new cabinet to Marquis Ya- magata, whose government will accept the responsibility. The probability is that Marquis Ito will reinstitute the cabinet excluding yiscount Watahabe.

 One of the co-operatives said tonight after the close of the meeting:

The custom has been Tor our factories to close during the months of July and Au- gust, and we will do so this year. but my factory will not close on May Il.
