lieved that Mr.. Riddles instructions
are to notify the Russian government
of the existence of the petition and

ceive it. The Jewish committee, it is

Low Estimate for North Dakota.

The increase of acreage of cultivated
land in the newer sections of the state
is largely matter of guesswork, but
it is roughly placed at 100000 acre9,.
half Of which is in wheat. The whea5
acreage this year is probably 10 per
cent in excess of last year, and ti2e
crop will not aggregate more than
40,000,000 bushels. This estimate ap-
pears altogether too low, and is at
variance with other estimates. Peo-
pie who have been driving over the
Fargo section Of the Red River valley
assert that the recent rains have placed
the crops in much better condition
than two to three weeks ago, and the
outlook is encouraging. The worst
fields in the valley are said to be those
imm ediately tributary to Fargo, as
they are generally farmed by tenants.
Grain around Bathgate has improved
In the last two weeks, but is thin yet
and will be light crop in spite of the
rain. Weeds are making fearful
strides and will be as bulky as the
wheat. Heads will be short. There
have been some very hot days and
that, may hurt the grade.

Food Commissioner Lacd Issues
Statement for the Guidance Of
Those Affected by the New
Food Law. <-g,s .t~

e. F. Ladd, food commissioner of
North Dakota, has issued a press bull.
letin in relation to the pure food law
which went into effect July l. Mer
chants throughout the state have aske3
what they are to do with goods already
In the state that do not come up to tie
requirements Of the law. He says:
eve have these goods in the state.
In many cases neither the merchan! !
nor the wholesaler in selecting tn J,
goods knew that they would not coLl-
ply with the requirements of the law.
In my judgment there is but one hon
orable course to take. The is to al
low the sale of all food prc1ucts, not
Immediately harmful, found legiti-
mately in trade in the state on July
LIST: Therefore as food commissioner
l have taken the following stand and
ask all merchants to govern them
selves accordingly:
"All extracts, spices, coffees, teas.
vinegars, jellies, jams, preserves,
syrups, molasses, catsups, etc., now in
the state will be exempt from inspec-
tion until Jan. 1, 1904 Heavy goods
and those usually carried for long PEI.
RODS of time will be exempt from in
spection until July 1, 1904. This ap-1
plies only to goods now in the state.
The order may be revoked where the:
privilege is abused.
Cali goods shipped into the state
after. July / will be subject to inspec-
tion wherever found. Therefore we
ask all merchants to see that their
goods, now in stock, be disposed of by
the dates mentioned. 5
"All new goods received after July
1 are to be identified by the several In
voices held by merchants. The same
ruling applies to wholesalers, manu-
facturers and jobbers in North Dako-
ia as to the retail merchants. u
"An inspection of our records shows
that more than 80 per cent Of the
brands OF lemon extracts examined as
offered for sale in North Dakota do
not comply with the requirements Of
the law. OF jellies and jams, about
70 per cent do not comply with the law.
OF canned goods, about so per cent of
the brands fail to pass. Proper label.
ing will cover the majority of prod
ucts." Continuing he proceeds to
touch up the manufacturers of fraud
ulent food products, saying that fully.
h85e per- cent of the vinegarss for in
I stance. are fraudulent. While some.
scf the mince meat contain no meat att
all. Still. he says that many Of these

PREMIER REMAINS UNMovED.
Exciting Debate in Chamber OF
Deputies Over War Budget Re
suits in Arrangements for a
Duel Between Members.

Paris. Nov. 12.-The Senate was crowded.
owing to expectation that Premier
Combes would make declaration Of the
further purposes of the Government con-
cerning the religious orders.
Prior to the opening, NJ. Waldeck-Ros-
seau. the former Premier. announced his
opposition to the governmental proposi-
tion to forbid teaching by those who had
taken the vow of ce.ibacy.
NJ. Combes declared the Government ac-
cepted the principle of the proposition, but
said it intended bringing in again pro-
jected law forb.dding primary, secondary
and superior teaching to all members Of
congregations.
Concerning members of the secular
Clergy the Government reserved Its course
until a determination on the question Of
the separation of church and state had
been expressed. 1t was his earnest wish
TO speedily conclude the entire teaching
question SO that the country might again
be tranquiliEed.
NJ. Combes's declaration made a deep
impression and the session of the Senate
was suspended to permit of conferences
When ne II the ese session OF the Senate was re, e
adjourned until the Government bill for
bidding primary, secondary and superior
teaching to all members Of the congrega-
tfons was brought in. The proposal was
rejected-14 to 1856.
After some discussion the Senate
passed the first clause Of the proposition.
repeating existing legislation, by vote
of 225 to 81.
In the Chamber of Deputies to-day
there was a further discussion of the
war budget. An amendment proposing
the suppression of courts-martiaf was re-
jected--325 to 243. In the debate there was
a violent alteration hetween Henry Mall
rice Berteaux. Radical Socialist. and
Georges Bertholet. which compelled the
Chamber to suspend for a few minutes.
A duel has been arranged between them.
