The political atmosphere OF Japan
during last week has been thick with
rumors Of impending war. The imme.
date Of the angry sentiment
is a succession of reports OF Chinese
diplomatic intrigues with Russia at
pekin, and OF the Russian encroach-
ment upon Korea.
Several secret cabinet meetings
have been held. On the 18th there
was an extraordinary cabinet meet

II was rumored the cabinet was I'M
animous for a positive policy" having
for its object the checking of Russia
by an appeal to arms, IL necessary.
On June 20 a conference OF the elder
statesmen, an ex offieio political pow
er In japan, was called before the
throne. The grave political situation
was discussed at length.
The compelling cause of these sec
ret conferences was the announcement
from Pekin that a secret convention
had been concluded between the Rus
sian minister and Prince Ching and
on the goth. II was said that
when the Japanese minister interro-
gated on June 3, the prince fatty de-
MED the existence Of any secret agree
ment with Russia. Later II was an
nounced that an agreement contain
ing four parts had been forwarded to
st. Petersburg for imperial sanction.
whereupon II would go into immediate
effect. The belief Is that the conven-
ton exists, but that II was concluded
between the Russian minister and the
Chinese minister, 30 that Prince Ching
will be able to disclaim any Official
OF It's existence.

Secretary Says That Every Wool
Growing Community Should be
Represented at the Meeting.

f. e. Warren, president or the Ma.
tional Woolgrowers' association, and
Mortimer lowering, secretary, have
issued an open letter to all sheep and
wool growers of the United States,
calling upon them to perfect local or.
CARNATIONS that they may affiliate
with the national association and be
represented at the annual session IN
January. 1t tells of the urgent neces-
sity of the sheep men combining and
what good al be accomplished. The
letter, which has reached some of the
Fergus county wool growers, is as fol-
lows:
That the sheep men all yer the
county e the necessity of organiza-
ton Is evident from the increasing
number of local and state organiza-
lions OF wool growers. These local
organizations have already accom-.
plished much good for their member
ship. but, while the OBJECTS and de-
sires are practically all the same,
their benefits are limited to purely To-
cal affairs. The National Woolgrow-
ers' association is probably the old.

country. having been organized In
1866.
A National Organization.
Until the present year 1t has been
composed of a membership purely in
dividual, and has been national only
In the sense that its membership has
been drawn from all sections of the
country. Owing to the universal de-
mand for some medium through which
the scattered organizations of the
country could unite their power for
the general good OF all, the constitu-
ton and bylaws were changed, by
the order of the last convention of the
association, so as to admit to mem
bership local and stale associations.
BY this method, when all of the local
and state organizations shall have
united in the national organization,
1t will be national In every sense Of
the word, and may assume to speak
with authority for all.
1T is the earnest desire OF the Off
cers of this association that before
the next convention Of the National
Woolgrowers' association is held next
January, every local and state organ
ization of wool growers in the county
shall have become q member of this
organization. With this accomplish
ed, the next convention will be one

Lawyer John c. Lyndes, of this

It is likely that colonization will

Mr.. Stewart is a sufferer from the

racked his brain for a few minutes

was the electric light. and taking the

Through the wollen blanket the
heat from the electric light took al
most immediate effect and he went
