AGRICULTURE OF
RUSSIA EXPANDS
Japan's Foe Is Pressing the United
States Hard as a Producer.

Globe Special Washington Service,
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 16.-It
is no sooner realized that Russia is
disposed to be our chief commercial
rival in the Orient than the United
States government is waking up to the
fact that the Land of the Bear is rap
idly increasing its producing power.
The production, moreover, is in those
articles which form the bulk Of our
own present commerce with the far
East. Russia is above all an agri-
cultural nation, as the United States
is, and what is more, the Russian farm
products are increasing in volume
more rapidly than ours.
Here are some official figures, re-
Gently obtained by this government:
Russia Gncluding Siberia) produced
413,305,837 bushels Of wheat in 1903,
and the United States produced 637,-
821,835 bushels Of the same cereal;
but our wheat crop was little below
the crop of 1902, while Russias in
creased tremendously-by about A.
100000 bushels. The Touring mills I'M
der Russian ownership in Manchuria
and Eastern Siberia are increasing
their output every month. Russia also
increased her production of rye, bar
ley and corn in the last season, and her
cereal products, altogether, were val
ued at nearly $4,000, 100000 There is,
Of course, undeYeloped territory in ST.

come the worlds granary, and the en-
pire is alive to the possibilities. The

said, for an able-bodied curate to re-
ceive a guinea week, with board and
lodging, or, sometimes only board and
lodging. Ali Of which is cruelty to the

British government can do nothing less
than provide pension for incapacitat-
ed curates, namely, those who have
reached the ripe and helpless age of

Those Of us who have to stay at
home and read the war news, at least
owe debt of gratitude to Gen. Alexieff
for delightful variation in the stereo-
typed regret to report" phrase, which
was worn to a f1zzle in the late war
between Boer and Briton. Gen. Alexieff,
in his dispatches to the car, varies
pleasingly between 81 most respectfully
inform" and 81 must humbly report"
either Of which is an equally polite sub
stitute for much stronger language. In
regard to Russia, moreover, the worst

pong tables" were thrown through the
gun ports of the battleships. If Russia
Is so far behind in its amusements,
where must it be in its military tactics

WOMEN RELATE THEIR
VOTING EXPERIENCES
Participation in the Colorado Election
Frauds Is Denied.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 16.-The
National American Woman Suffrage
association was given a hearing before
the house committee on the judiciary
today. A delegation numbering over
half hundred women, headed by Mrs.
Carrie Chapman Gait, president of the
association, occupied seats around the
committee room. The members of the
committee asked the speakers from
Colorado as to the reason of Mr.. Shat
roth's action in resigning his seat in
the house because of frauds at the
polls.
Miss Smith, who answered this ques-
ton, said that the fraudulent practices
on this occasion were confined to few
Denver precincts. She exonerated the
women voters from participation. She
said IS per cent of the voters Of the
state were men and 45 per cent women,
while AZ per cent was the actual vote
of the women.
Mrs. Mary c. G. Bradford, also Of
Colorado, said that in teStifying to the
benefits Of woman suffrage through
twenty seven states, she had found that
the greatest "bugbear" to be met with
was the seeming dread of the word
polls" The general impression was
that the polls were places where all the
good women were compelled to go and
stand in line with all the bad men who
occupied the time in swearing. AS a
matter of fact the men met at the polls
were the husbands, brothers and friends
Of the women.
Mrs. Helen Grenfell, state superin-
tendent Of schools in Colorado, told
of her experience in running for Office.
She had canvassed the state several
times and stated that she had met with
just as much "chivalry" as in her
school work. Mrs. Grenfell stated
that many 'repeaters" had been found.

said he was personally acquainted with

illustration, or turnover ones about
two inches wide. In the latter case
a necktie made Of soft wide ribbon is

There are also being shown a large

linen and fancy wash materials that are

are trimmed with cut out linen en-

A pretty example is of coral pink lin

cut-out embroidery that are inset YER

a way that the embroidery makes the
outer part of each plat. The blouse
is likewise box-plaited and inset with
the embroidery and the neck is finish
