STILL CRITICALLY ILL.
Physicians Latest Report Regarding
Condition of Commissioner Ross.

DR.. F. T. Chamberlain's latest report this
afternoon regarding the condition of Com
missioner Ross is to the effect that his pa
tient has apparently about regained the
strength lost yesterday and last night. but
his general condition is about the same as
if has been for several days. The physician
states that the Commissioner is still criti-
cally Ill.
. The disease with which Commissioner
Ross is afflicted Is believed to have been
of long standing. although so subtle as to
have deprived him of the knowledge OF his
own condition. For several years he has
been unable to stand his former long pc
RODS of attention to the arduous duties OF
his Office without frequent rest.
There Is little doubht that the disease OF
the kidneys. which has assumed an acute
stage has been chronic. His condition is
the cause Of considerable uneasiness on the
part of his physician His recovery de-
ponds entirely upon his constitution and
his ability to throw of the present ugly
symptoms.

SCANDINAVIAN EMIGRATION.
Steamship Lines 0vertaxed to Handle
the Business.

~ COPENHAGEN, Denmark, July 26.-The
transport lines here are coping with the
greatest rush of Scandinavian emigration
to the United States since the eighties.
Every outgoing vessel, Scandinavian or
American, is crowded. The Oscar II of the
Observation-Disclosures line is taking LOCO
emigrants on each trip. Her two sister
ships will now be hurried toward compile
ton in order to handle the traffic.
The cause of this rush Is the unpre-
cedented hard times throughout Scandi-
navia as We'll as the more stringent con-
scription laws in, Sweden. The emigrants
are mostly of an excellent class and are
bound chiefly to the western states, where
they will settle Din agricultural lands. The
total numbers of. emigrants which left this
port for the United States during the nine
months ending with March, 1902, were:
Denmark, 3,3s3;. Norway s.o49, and Sweden,
1901.

About Clipping Horses.

A Horse Review correspondent wish
es to know the advantages to be de-
rived from clipping horses. The editor
replies:
First-The natural process OF moult-
ing or shedding the hair is a draft on
the vitality of the animal. The ap-
petite is diminished, and with work
or pleasure horse exertion is irksome
during the period. Clipping, or arti-
fetal removal of the hair, accom-
plished in a very short space of time
what nature requires much more time
to do. In other words, nature is an
ticipated in her work and the animal s
system is saved a call upon 1t.
Second-A clipped horse is less IL
able 10 take cold than longcoated
horse, because the evaporation of per
spiration is more rapid. A hot"
horse will cool out quicker with a
short coat. Every groom is aware
OF this fact.
Third-A clipped horse requires
less fuel food) to maintain bodily
heat than the long-coated horse; there
fore clipping as a matter of economy
should be generally practlced.
Fourth--A clipped horse looks clean
er, acts more sprightly and keeps in
better health. Horses intended for the
sale or show ring should be clipped
at least two weeks before the event.
There will be a marked Improvement
in weight and appearance, with mani
fest advantage to the owners pocket
book.
These points about cover the
ground. We add that clipping ma
chimes are so cheap that all horse
owners can afford to have one.

A correspondent of the Ohio Farm
er gives some of the reasons why
sheep are fine thing for the farmer
to raise. They pay for their raising
in profitable fceces. They are easily
transferred from one Enclosure TO an
other and restrained by fences which
would not hold cattle or pigs. Their
light tread and their dislike to mud
warrant their access TO fields whore
the trampling of cattle and tearing of
hogs would not be tolerated. They
waste less food in proportion to the
quantity consumed than any other ami
NAL, and will hunt out and utilize
much that would otherwise be lost.
They work for a living by keeping the
farm clean from weeds. No animal re-
turns more fertility to the soil in
proportion to the amount eXacted for
its support. They produce pound
of mutton cheaper than a hog will

but they also greatly increase the

to dissolve fertilizer. for which rea'
son fertilizers should be applied on
the land early in order that the plen.
tiful rains of spring may prepare the

failures that may have occurred with

Mr.. Renters. of the British Consu.

port on the petroleum industry, which
has of late attracted much attention
and reached considerable dimensions

the industry being the town of Ar.

1883 with machinery imported from

ern part of the province oil was dis.
covered in 1889 and led to fever of
speculation. In 1892 there were be.
tween 600 and 200 speculative com.
panies with small capital at work in
Echigo, and most of them failed. On
their ruins arose large companies
working on n great scale and with
imported machinery. Hand boring
has almost ceased to exist, and with
Improvement in methods of winning
the oil came Improvement in the
transport of the oil to the refneries.
Pipe lines were introduced to convey
It from the wells to the refnerles
and from the latter to the railway
stations. and it has been proposed
to construct a pipe line all the way
TO Toxic. the capital, about two hun.
dred miles away. In 1899 the total
production of the oil in Japan was
