TO INCREASE
HER FIGHTING FORCE
Will Have 800, 900 Men in the Field-Russan Coal
Supply Is Menaced

shang Hal, Sept. 14.-It is reported
here upon good authority that a por-
uon of the Japanese territorial army
is to be called out IN the near future.
The territorial army of Japan COM
prises 98,522 officers and men in times
of peace.
According to the report this move
has been decided upon Immediately af-
ter news reached Toxic that General
kuropatkin's troops have been rein
for'ed by two army corps which are
now al Mukden.
1t is said to be the intention of the
japanese ministry of war not only to
br.1g the forces now engaged in the
far east back to their original number
but to reach, if possible, 100000.
This would make the Japanese army
larger by nearly 100000 than that oi
General Kuropatkin which, according
to recent reports, now numbers more
than 100000.
In this latter estimate are counted
in the two new army corps as well as
troops which the Russian general in
tends to draw on from Harbin.
COAL SUPPLY MENACED.

the Republican gubernatorial candi-
date was much clarified tonight and
the Republican state convention whe,l
it meets tomorrow will find the ma

The fight for the head Of the ticket has

night after several heart to heart talks
between the leaders. it was generally
agreed that Higgins was the man
Many Of the staunch admirers OF
Woodruff, however, were for carrying
their fight to the moor of the conven-

when the delegates went to bed they
retired with the assurance that their
work was all cut out for them.
A national complexion was thrown
upon the situation here tonight When

QUESTION OF BREED
How to Get Standard
Milk For Canton.

In 1890 Professor Ladd, Of the State
Experiment Station, writing on
What is Standard Milll?" and urging
that the law requiring a certain per
cent of solids to make a milk stand
ard" though It had served a useful pur-
pose, was now antiquated, proposed
to put in it's place a law compelling
every milkman to sell his milk accord
ing to the per cent of fat it contained;
and says forcibly: Let shoddy be
sold, but let it be sold for what it is
and not as all WOOL so let milk with
one, two or five per cent of fat, or
skim milk, be sold, but let them be
sold for what they are and what they
contain, and not under false colors,
for what they should be-"
At this point the inquiry will natur-
ducer or milkman obtain milk which
be could safely guarantee to contain
even four and half per cent fat?
Is there any breed of cows that will
constantly produce such milk on food
of the character usually given to dairy
| COWS?
without any hesitation it may be
answered, Yes.
Seven breeds have been tested at
either the New York or New Jersey
| Agricultural Experiment Stations for
sufficiently long period to establish
clearly the character of the milk.
These breeds are the Jersey, Guernsey,
Holstein, Ayrshire, Devon, Short Horn,
and American Holderness. The Jersey
average was 5.23 per cent fat, the
Guernsey 5.02, the Devon 4.46, and tho
highest of the remaining breeds S.65.
This is the scientific testimony and
| is given by those who have no interest
in any breed concerning which the re-
port is made. But some have little
confidence in testimony from such
sources, and only give weight to that
which comes from those who testify
to facts learned by business expert
ence. For such there is proof equally
conclusive.
Mr.. George Abbott, the celebrated
dealer of Philadelphia, who, for several
years, had the milk of forty to fifty
herds analysed about five times
monthly, wrote as follows in 1889:
From years Of observation of the
results of analyses of milk, am salts
fed that few herds not in whole or
in part Jersey or Guernsey breeding
yield milk that will not, at times, fall
below even twelve per cent total SOL
ids"

FOR PEACE
INTER PARllAM e N T AR Y
UNION PLUGS.
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
Will Be Asked to Gall the
Hague Conference.

st. Louis, Mo-, Sept. 13.-The most
important work of the inter-parlia-
mentary union was completed at its
session today. A resolution was
adopted requesting President Roose-
welt to call second session Of The
Hague peace conference, another reso-
luton was passed deploring the Russo
Japanese war and asking the powers
Jointly or separately to intervene to
restore peace; telegram was sent to
President Roosevelt, commencing him
as the champion of international JUS
tice and through British opposition a
resolution to prohibit the use Of float
ing submarine mines in warfare was
defeated. These were the features of
the days session.
The message to President Roosevelt
was suggested by Dr. Gobat of Swift
zerland and was unanimously adopt
ed amid great applause.
A little controversy was occasioned
by the resolution looking to interven-
tion between Japan and Russia. While
all the delegates present were united
in deploring the war, there was a decid-
ed difference of opinion as to the Ian
guage which should be used in ex-
pressing that sentiment, Count Moblet
d'Alvilla, a Belgian senator, urged that
the resolution should call for the in
tervention of the powers at once.
Delegate La Fontaine a Socialist dep
uty from Belgium, proposed a substi-
tute rebuking the powers for failing
to offer mediation Several other men,
bers made suggestions.
AS finally adopted the resolution
asks the powers that signed The
Hague resolutions to intervene with
out specifying when they should do
so. It is not expected by the conser-
vative members Of the congress that
this will lead to any action, 1t being
recognized that neither of the bel
ligerents is ready now to listen to
mediation.
The addition Of the resolution ask
ing President Roosevelt to call a sec.
= ond session of The Hague conference
''is, however regarded differently. 1t
is not doubted that the president will
be glad to issue the invitation and II
Is thought that the fact that bloody
war is now raging will cause the ma
tions to join readily in a conference
the object of which will be to make
such conflicts less possible in the
future
There was a spirited debate over
the question of urging the abandon
ment of the use of floating mines be-
cause of the danger to neutrals. A
resolution to that effect was offered
by Count Apponyi Of Hungary. The
English delegation unitedly opposed II
with the exception of the member
from Liverpool, Mr.. Shape.
Because Of the desire that all ac
tion OF the congress should be unani
nous and because of the opposition
manifested, the resolution was with
drawn
