APPROPRIATION FOR RIVERS.

Senator Mecumber Requests the War
Department to Take Action.
Washington, D. c., Dec. 23:-Sena-
tor McCumber recently called at the
war department and recommended
that a portion of the lump appropria-
ton made by congress for the i'm
provement OF rivers in the United
States be used for the removal of
snags and the deepening Of the chan
mel of the Upper Missouri and Yellow
stone rivers. The commerce on these
streams in North Dakota and Mon
tana has increased greatly during the
last few years. The navigation of the
river is of the greatest importance to
the shippers of wheat as they are able
to obtain much lower rates by water
than by rail. Many Of the points
from which wheat is now being ship
ped cannot be reached by rail and the
deepening of the streams means In
creased prices to farmers in the Sec
lions through which the rivers flow.
The secretary stated that he would
look into the question and if practical
he would comply with Senator Nc
Cumber's request.

A PURE SEED TRAIN.

The 500 Line Is Preparing to Send
One Through North Dakota.
The idea of a train of instruction
along agricultural lines, while not a
new one in the west in all respects,
has never been attempted In exactly
the same manner as that in which the
500 Line is now taking up the subject.
The cars now in course of preparation,
will be thoroughly equipped for the
purposes intended and will visit all
stations on the system in North Dako-
ia, stopping sufficient length OF time
to allow those interested to pay a
thorough visit to this novel exhibition.
1t will be in charge of the the North
Dakota agricultural college, which is
an assurance that all varieties of
grains at present grown in the country
will be carried, but specially Will be
made of the finest exhibit OF seed
grains that can be gotten together. 1t
will furnish an opportunity for an in
spection, of all of the new varieties
which are now attracting attention,
such as Macaroni wheat, Russian oats,
etc., as we'll as seeds of such hardy
vegetables as recent experiments have
demonstrated can be grown success
fully in the latitude of the Dakotas.
The train cannot fail to be of interest
and everyone is invited to call and see
it upon it's arrival and to make the
most OF an excellent opportunity.
The dates of arrival of the train at
different points will be given as soon
as the schedules can be prepared.

yield the principle Of autocracy. Upon
this point it u understood all his ad-
visers, including Interior Minister
Sviatopolk-M irsky, agreed. but the
character of the agitation which fol.
lowed the meeting of the presidents OF
the zemstvos and the action of vart-
Gus provincial zemstvos and municipal
councils, coupled with the recent DEM
constructions at st. Petersburg, Moscow
and elsewhere, probably served to
strengthen the hands of the reaction
aries and convinced the emperor of
the imperative necessity for a plain
spoken announcement Of the sover-
eign's position upon the main point.
The reactionaries undoubtedly regard
the emperor's action as distinct vic
tory for them. Nevertheless, the con.
ferences over the reform measures
which will be taken are still in prog.
ress at Tsarskelo and will shortly be
published. What the immediate eft.

by the Japanese that the Russians are
employing Chinese to damage the
Japanese lines of communication and
they have no doubt that Chinese were
employed by the Russians to burn the
magazines at Liaoyang. The Japa-
nese say that II they arrest any Chi
nese engaging in so fulfilling their OBJ
legations to their employers they will
execute them as a warning to other
Chinese against a repetition of the
offense.
The Japanese believe that heroic
measures are required to wipe out the
Russian system of employing Chinese
TOR such work. They say they know
that the Russians are spending enor-
NOUS sums OF money for this purpose
