TESTS NOT SATISFACTORY.
Pacific Coast Lumbcrmcn Do Not Agree With
fiibbS' Report.

Washington, March Ex-senator
Foster has been notified by the Pacific
Coast Lumber Manufacturers Assoca-
ton that the tests of fir conducted on a
very extensive scale at the Puget Sound
navy yard during the past summer are
not satisfactory. Secretary Victor II.
Beckman states that at meeting of
the association held at Tacoma, Febru-
AIRY Is, the report of Naval Constructor
Hibbs at the Puget Sound navy yard on
the timber tests, particularly in Doug
las fir, was taken up. The association
directed the secretary to notify Senator
Foster that the report was not satisfac-
tory and did not do entire justice to fir.
Experience, it is stated, has proved
that Mr.. Hibbs' statements with refer
ence to the lasting qualities of fir are
misleading. The association calls at
tention to railroad timbers on the
Northern Pacific railway which have
been in use IA years and show little or
no signs of rot. Also that it is well
known fact that consumers of lumber
purchase fir for porches and outdoor
work at "A very high price in preference
to yellow pine, which, it is claimed,
rots very quickly.
In order to secure a complete and au-
Senator Foster to introduce a bill APP
propriating a sufficient sum of money
to conduct the work in thorough man
ner at some pint in the Pacific North
west, where exhaustive tests may be
made under government supervision
Senator Foster states that while
number of very important timber tests
have been conducted from time to time
by both the war and navy departments,
these reports are contained in volumes
that are not accessible to the general
public. He is in favor of condensed
report drawn from authorized govern
ment tests and under government SUI
pervision which will serve to show not
only the merits of fir, but of American
woods generally, and such reports to be
available for distribution or sale, as is
the case with other government docu-
ments of a like nature. AS rule, the
consumer is not we'll posted with refer
ence to the lasting qualities of Amer
lean woods, particularly so with refer
ence to the relative strength and dura-
blllty of one class as compared with
another.

BIG STUDENTS RIOT.
10000 People Join Them in St. Petersburg
Police and Military Busy.

st. Petersburg, March ia stu
dents riot here, in which over 10000
people engaged, kept large force Of
police and cavalry busy throughout the
day. Probably 100 arrests We're made,
but the repressive measures were not so
strict as on the corresponding date Of
1901. While many persons were in
jured, no fatalities were reported.
The students placarded the city last
night, announcing that they intended
to hold a grievance meeting, and the
authorities taking the hint, made ex-
tensive preparations. The whole police
was called out, and the military was
held ready for mobilization, cavalry
patrols experimenting the mounted po-
lice. Additional squadrons of cavalry,
light batteries of artillery and detach-
ments OF infantry were packed in the
side streets. The crowds increased in
the main thoroughiares until noon,
when the cavalry officer in command Of
a squad in front of the Hotel
d Europe begged the crowd there to
disperse and 90 home. The demon-
strators refused, and the mounted troops
began slowly clearing the streets. At
1890 =. NJ, the students attempted to
organize a procession in front Of the
hotel mentioned, singing revolutionary
songs and shouting Gree Russia,
"Down with the autocracy.' The police
and cavalry then charged but used only
their Coz sack whips and the flats of
their sabers. Many persons were hurt,
but only a few were seriously injured.
The fighting continued during the re-
mainder of the afternoon, breaking out
in fresh places continuously. One of
the most severe fights of the day was
concluded only a few minutes before
the czarina, in an open sleigh, passed
the spot where it occurred. Carriages
of the nobility and members of the i'm
perial household were several lines
mixed up in the melees. The author
tiles made efforts to prevent bloodshed,
and in this they were remarkably sue
cessful, considering the magnitude of
the demonstration.

British Troops.

Boston, March 19.--The l26th ami
versary Of the evacuation of Boston by
the British was celebrated in South
Boston by the unwilling of monument
erected on the breastworks of the Colo
NAL army on Dorchester heights. This

the following inscription, written by
President Eliot, of Harvard:
"On these heights, during the night
of March 4, 1776, the American troops
besieging Boston, built two redoubts,
which made the harbor and town UNI

London, March 1S.-The extraordin-
AIRY effect oi lyddite has been revealed
by the statement that during the re, ent
experiments with the hulk of the old
battleship Belle Isle, shells containing
that explosive refracted fragments upon
the attacking vessel 400 wards distant.
Other fragments dropped close to a gun
boat 1000 yards abeam of the line of
fire. The deduction drawn is that
when lyddite is used there is danger
for friendly vessel at least 1000
yards away. The Outlook compares
lyddite with a boomerang and points
out that to he of any service it must be
dropped right on board hostile vessel
as, "if the projectile does not hit the

SkYSCRAPERS IN DANGER.
Their Steel Framework, Says a Chicago Man.
Is Rapidly Corrodine.

Chicago, March 1S.-"The steel
framework in many Of the big build
ings in the business district of Chicago
is corroding, making them very danger
Gus. 1t Is only a question of a few
years when those buildings will fall to
the ground.'
This statement was made by General
William S.Smith at the 35th annual
dinner of the Chicago real estate board
He added "that the steel framework of
some of the skyscrapers is in the condi-
ton stated is nothing short of public
outrage"
The speaker explained that his state
ments were based on personal observa-
tions and investigations.
1.-The steel framework Embedded in
concrete will last 1000 years" he said !,
"but the steel framework in many of
the big buildings is left free to the ac-
ton of the air and gases which circu-
late through the tile and Il space about
the steel. The owners of these struc-
lures have the steel painted with oil.
This Gil will Withstand the corroding
process about three years. Then begins
the corroding OF the steel and within
a few years your skyscraper will fall"
The speaker said that the elevated
road structures would not withstand
the corrosion. He asserted that within
10 years they would be dangerous and
within 70 years out Of service. The
corrosion of one-tifth of the thickness of
the steel framework Of the structure,
he said, would render them incapable
OF bearing their own weight.

PHILIPPINE COMMERCE.
Imports and Exports Of the Islands Are Both
Showing Marked Increases.

Washington, March 19.-The insular
division of the war department has
prepared for publication an extract
from its regular monthly bulletin of
the commerce of the Philippines, com
pairing the eight months ended August
81, 1901, and 1900.
1t is shown that the total value of
merchandise imported during the eight

value of merchandise exported during
the eight months ended August 8, 1901
was SIG, 935, 405 against SIS, 92S ,0l5 for
the same period of 1900.
The imports show an increase of IS
per cent during the period of 1901 as
compared with the same period OF 1900.
In the exports there was per cent
increase in favor of 1901. The imports
from the United States, exclusive Of

The Asparagus Bed.

We believe in moving the asparagus
bed in the fall and burning it over to
destroy the beetles, eggs and rust that
may be there. Others who have grown
much more of it than we have prefer
to have the old stalks remain until
spring, as helping to hold the snow on
the bed. But in either case we would
cut out and carry away all the seed
bearing plants before the seed begun
to fall. The little seedlings in the old
bed are no better than as many weeds.
If seedlings are wanted to set new
bed, cut the stalks when the seed is
nearly ripe. and hang them up to ripen.
and SOW the seed in Il new bed from
which it may be transplanted at year
old. We like good yearlng plants bet
ter than two year olds. -New England
