A IcEHSE AT SAME COST.
Foreign Corporations Must Pay Fees
Euua TO Charter Fees.

Topeka, May 26.-Since the United
States supreme court has upheld the
decision of the Kansas supreme court
in the American Book Company case,
involving the corporation act, the sec
rotary of the. state is preparing to get
after many foreign corporations for
non-payment of licenses Under the
law foreign corporations have to pay
license fee equal to the charter fee of
domestic corporation. In other
words, the license fee of foreign cor
poration of 500, 900 capital would be
the same as t he charter fee of do
domestic corporation of the same CAPT.
tai Many foreign companies doing
business in the state before the law
was passed claimed that the law was
not retroactive and, therefore, they
would not have to take out a license.
The supreme court, in the American
Book Company case, declared that all
foreign corporations had to take out
licenses even if they were doing bust
ness here before the law was passed.
The book company tied up the matter
by appealing to the United States SUI
preme court. That tribunal recently
upheld the decision of the state SUI
preme court. Now the secretary of
state will proceed to collect the license
from delinquent foreign corporations.
A foreign license is deprived of the
protection of the courts.

Grain Held For Chinese.

Lao Yang, May 26.-General Ma,
commander of the Chinese troops, is in
constant communication with Touli-
san, the chief of the Chinese bandits,
who are adopting military organiza-
ton under Japanese instructors.
Toulisan's district is the granary of
Manchuria. He is great organizer
and built seven immense granaries,
which are strongly garrisoned. Toul-
isan ordered the inhabitants, to bring
in their surplus grain, forbidding
them to sell it to the Russians and or
dering them to reserve the grain for
the Chinese armies which are coming
from the northwest.

Under the caption, 1.-The Union Pa
cifc Railroad and Louisiana Terri
tory" the new Worlds Fair folder is
sued by the advertising department of
the Union Pacific, which has attracted
such general attention, recites these
interesting facts:
while the construction of the
Union Pacific Railroad, its trials and
triumphs. are a part of the history of
the United States, the important part
played by this railroad in the develop
ment Of the Louisiana Purchase can
hardly be estimated. In the building
up of this vast domain it has been one
of the chief factors.
One hundred years ago the popula-
ton of the region was estimated at
10000 Up to the inception of the
Union Pacific Tin 1S60) it had in
creased to 1928, 500. In 1900 it num-
bered over 100000 of inhabitants.
In this wonderful growth, with its stu
pendous increase in all the many-sided
phases of commercial, material and
intellectual prosperity, the Union Pa
cific-as glance at the map will
show-has had conspicuous share.
II mas opened vast regions OIL leTIllo
country to settlers, and brought great
areas of an unknown and unproduc-
tive wilderness into close communion
with metropolitan centers and mar
kets. Thriving cities, towns and ham
lets, through its efforts, have sprung
up in every direction.
1t may be of interest to know that
the total number of manufacturing
plants, and the value of their outputs,
combined with that of the national
products as reported in the census Of
1900, give an aggregate production for
the Louisiana region of $3,500,000 900
annually, or 223 times the original pur-
chase price. The same census reports
$4,000 also show the total population
to be 13,343,255, of which 1903, 096 in
habitants are living in the states and
territories reached by the Union Pa
cific. On the 1900 census figures, 1t is
estimated that the true wealth of the
Louisiana purchase can be stated at
about $1S,051. 1855. 1859. of which $780,
621 1897 is represented in the states
reached by this great railroad"

FRUIT PRODUCTION DEVELOPING.
The Value of Exported Farm Products
Wa. In 1903. ss7s.47e,461. The

Was ss56,eas,ss1.

Washington, May 24.-The depart
on ''The Nations Farm Surplus" pre-
pared by George K. Holmes, chief of
the division of foreign markets 1t
gives $4,000, 900, 900 as a conservative
estimate of the value of farm products
of this country not fed to live stock in
1908, on the basis of the census valua-
ton.
The value of the exported farm prod
ucts was, in 1908, Ss7s, 479, 451, and the
highest value received during the last
eleven years was 1851, 62s. 331, in 1901,
due chiefly to cotton. The value of
the exported farm products of this
country is concentrated mostly in
few principal products. OF it in 1908
cotton constituted sc per cent; grain
and grain products, 25 per cent; meat
and meat products and live animals,
"a per cent; these products equaling
over IS per cent of the exports of farm
products last year. Adding tobacco,
whose exports were valued at over
S35, ZOO, 900; oil cake and oil cake meal,
SO, S39, 279, fruits and nuts over S1s,-
100000, and vegetable oils over S16,-
100000 gives total of eight classes of
products, each with an export value of
over $4,000, 900, that comprise almost
90 per cent of the entire farm products
of 1902.
Within recent years, ending with
1908, the cotton exports have been be-
tween 1900, ZOO, 900 and 1900, 900, 900
pounds, and the exported fraction of
the crop has been between SO and II
per cent for long series of years. The
fraction of the wheat crop exported in
the last dozen years has been about 81
to Al per cent, and the exported wheat
and wheat flour have yearly averaged
somewhst more than 200, 200, 900 BUSH
els since 1897, before which period for
many years the quantity was usually
$4,000, 900 to 100, 200 bushels less.
Only small portion of the corn crop
is exported as corn, the highest per-
centage, IL per cent, being for 1898.
Notwithstanding the small percentage,
the exported bushels reach OO,OO0,O 900
to zoe, 1000, 900. The beef exports
weighed 3s5, 900, 900, pork exports
551, 900, 900, lard exports 400, 900, 900,
oleo oil exports 5000, 900 pounds, and
tobacco 36s, ZOO, 900. Butter and cheese
exports have decidedly declined within
two or three years. The report says
that within few years the results of
an enormous extension of orchard
planting will begin to develop, and
some of these results may be in
much increased fruit surplus for ex-
port.

WAS A BLOODY AFFAI
Russians Suffered Heavier Casualties
Than The japanese.
JAPs NEARING PORT ARTHUR.
Actual seIgs of Port Arthur is Conn
menced But Russian General stan
Insists on the Ability of the Fortress
to Hold Out

London, May 3O.-The Japanese le-
CATION has received the following Off
cial dispatch from Toxic:
.'Kin Chou and all the heights in it's
vicinity have been taken, and our
troops are pushing the Russians to-
ward Port Arthur
That the Russians were not only de-
feated but routed, would appear from
rumors of the capture of Russian ar
tillery.
The fifth japanese division of vet
Grams, which is destined for the storm
ing of Port Arthur, has already landed
on the Lao Tung peninsula.
A Toxic correspondent of The Tele-
graph says he learns that the Japanese
troops are now within seve nteen miles
of Port Arthur and that the Russians
suffered heavier casualties than the
Japanese, who have taken guns and
other material and a few prisoners.
He predicts further surprise, as
Japan is now increasing her efforts in
all directions.
A Toxic correspondent of the Chron-
icle says that the Japanese captured
many guns at Kin Chou.
Tokio.-The japanese troops have
swept all the Russians from their de-
fenses west of Talien Wan Bay. 1t is
now improbable that the latter will be
capable of offering any further resist
ance in the territory of Port Arthur.
The storming of Nan Shan hill was
bloody affair. The Japanese first
conferred their fire on the Russian bat
teries, in which work they were aided
by four gunboats from Kin Chou bay.
They succeeded in silencing many of
the enemy's guns.
The Russians had constructed a
series of trenches around the hill on a
terrace protected by wire entangle
ments and other such devices. The
japanese made series of rushes, but
they were all in vain. The deadly rifle
and cannon fire of the enemy checked
them repeatedly.
Finally, at o'clock in the afternoon
the japanese reformed and storned
the crest of the hill The Russians
held to their position doggedly and it
was Z o'clock in the evening before the
Japanese finally gained possession of
the ridge.
st. Petersburg general staff,
in view of the foreign news of the
capture of Kin Chou, admitted that
there was little now to hinder a ia
panese advance on Port Arthur itself,
and that the actual siege of Port
Arthur had begun in earnest. The
staff insisted, however, on the ability
of the fortress to hold out.

Russians, after the engagements with
Korean troops at Ham Heung. burned
the shrines and the royal mausoleum
which We're erected there by the
founder of the present Korean dynasty
in 1864 and which were regarded by
the Koreans as sacred. This apparent
wanton dissertation of tombs in a land
imbued with the spirit of ancestor
worship has caused excited denuncia-

Harden Metals by Air.

The latest proposals for intensifying
the oxidizing action of air on metals
is that of M. Harmet, and has for its
object the treatment of cast iron,
producing a refined iron or steel.
Molten iron is caused to flow through
a fine channel surrounded by an an
nular air-blast, which thus forms a
turpere, driving the metal forward in
a fine spray. This spray is collected
and allowed to flow together again
in receiving chamber, from which the
molten steel can be tapped.
