NEGOTIATIONS BLOCKED.
Intense Feeling in China in Regard to
Exclusion Treaty.

Washington, May 20.-All hope OF
the success of the pending negotia-
lions of the new Chinese exclusion
treaty for the present has been aban-
doned by the Chinese officials, as a re-
suit of the wave of resentment that
has swept over China since it became
known that 1t was planned to transfer
the negotiations to Pekin and that the
Department of Commerce and Labor
was insisting upon its own interpreta-
tion of the exclusion law.
Reports have reached the Chinese
legation of the extent of this feeling
throughout the Chinese empire and of
the hostility of the Chinese CONNER
cial guilds to American goods, which
might result, 1t is asserted. in a gen
eral boycott against American prod
ucts even were 1t possible to conclude
the exclusion treaty now.
The Chinese legation here declares
that there is no intention of bringing
suit in the Supreme Court of the
United States in behalf of the Chinese
excluded or deported. in view of the
treaty of 1888. All such infringe
ments of that treaty, the legation holds
to be diplomatic matters entirely and
an appeal will be had not to the
courts, but to the state department.
Briefly put, the position of the legation
here, which reflects that OF the Pekin
government, is stated as follows:
1.-THE expiration last December Of
the exclusion treaty of 1894 leaves in
force the treaty of 1880. The legation
does not for a moment question the
right of the duty of the department
of commerce and labor to enforce ex-
listing laws. The relations of the
United States and China. are. however,
regulated by treaty and not by laws,
and it is expected that any violation
of existing treaties will be fully COM
pensated for by indemnity.

STRIKE is CONTINUED
BECAUSE OF EXPRESS DRIVERS.
Chicago Teamsters' Union Declare
Peace Negotiations of Because Elk
press Drivers Are Left Out.

Chicago. May 21.-The strike OF the
teamsters, instead of being declared
of. will be spread to greater proper
tons. This was decided last night by
the members of the teamsters' joint
council. which was in session until
midnight.
The council met at o'clock to hear
the report of the negotiations that had
been in progress with the employers
throughout the day. They agreed to
all the stipulations of the employers
with the exception of that which de-
clared that the drivers of the express
companies should not be taken back
This was the rock upon which the
peace program was wrecked, and after
several hours of debate it was decided
that the Transfers union could not
leave the express drivers to make a
lone fight, but must stand by them.
1t was decided to call off the ne
gotiations and prepare for a further
fight.
The sense of the meeting was ex-
pressed in the following statement.
which was given out as defining the
position of the transfers.
ut is due to the public and members
of the Transfers organization that a
statement be issued relative to our po-
sition in refusing to accept the prop
osition submitted by the Employers
association. The Employers associa-
ton offered a proposition which might
have received favorable considera-
ton from the strikers and their COM
mittee providing it carried with it no
proviso that would act as a detriment
to any part of our organization.
Their proposition, however, carried
with it that the strike against the rail-
way express companies be declared off
without those companies agreeing to
the proposition made by the employers
or any other proposition, they having
made the statement that they had held
a meeting and decided that no strikers
would ever again be re-employed as
workmen for the railway express COM
panies-in fact, to establish blacklist
against all OF their former employees.
This the Transfers organization,
or its officials; could not accept
I'VE believe that the railway ex-
press companies are not justified in
their refusal to reinstate any of their
former employees.
Under these conditions it is incum-
bent upon the members of the Team
sters organization to continue the
strike until such time as the express
companies will agree to the same con-
ditions as those offered by the Employ
ers' association"

THE FARM AND RANGE


One of the most surprising develop
ments of recent years in this state is
the growth OF the sugar beet and beet
sugar Industries. Until 1893 the cul-
ture of this variety of beets was al
most unknown in Colorado. In that
year the first factories were built. one
in Grand Junction and one in Rocky
Ford. Last year there were nine fac
tories in operation, and two more will
be ready for this years crop. In adai-
dition to these it is probable that two
or three additional factories will be
built to handle the 1906 crop.
The nine factories now in operation
are located at Fort Collins. Greeley.
Loveland, Longmont. Windsor, Eaton,
Rocky Ford. Sugar City and Grand
Junction, and the two new ones are at
Sterling ana Lamar. Last year these
nine establishments handled 100000
tons OF beets for which the farmers re-
ceived IS a ton, or total of SO. $50 900.
The product in refined sugar was
worth about $4,000, 900 and in addition
TO this was considerable value in
pulp and molasses. To these must be
added another by-product which in
time will become more valuable than
either of the others. The factories are
now shipping to alcohol distilleries in
Wisconsin and Michigan a kind of
waste molasses. squeezed from the
pulp. from which high-grade of alco-
hol Is made.
Colorado now ranks second among
the states in the number of its beet
sugar factories. being surpassed only
by Michigan. The nine factories now
in operation here represent an invest
ment OF 100000. All this is devel-
opment of six years, and as the condi-
lions here favoring the growth of the
industry are unsurpassed. it is easy to
see that the figures quoted may be
easily doubled in the next five years.
The soil and climate of Colorado, es-
pecially in the northern part of the
state, and in the Arkansas valley, are
peculiarly adapted to beet culture, and
the beets raised have a higher percent
age of saccharine matter than those
produced in any other state. The aver
age yield per acre is very great, so the
crop is highly profitable to the farm
ers.
An industry which adds so much to
the value of our agricultural and man
ufacturing products must be ranked
among the most important in the state.
A crop which six years after its first
cultivation pays the farmers three and
quarter millions of dollars in one sea
son is not to be lightly regarded, and
the time may come when the sugar
beet will be the most valuable agri-

BiriIoff Given Chief Command.

ST. Petersburg, May 2e.-Vice Ad-
miral Biriloff who has been named for
the supreme naval command in the Pa
cific. will leave for Vladivostok May
25th, to assume charge there and make
preparations for repairing and refit-
ting the vessels of Vice Admiral Ro-
jestvensky's fleet when they arrive.
By imperial command Vice Admiral
Biriloff will have all the rights and
powers of commander of the army,
and the commander of the Vladivos-
tok garrison will be subject to his or
ders. thereby avoiding the possibility
of any conflict of authority in case of
siege, as at Port Arthur.
Il have no intention of relieving
Vice Admiral Rojestvensky of the i'm
mediate command of the fleet if he is
well and able to perform his duties
on his arrival at Vladivostok," said the
admiral. who is small of stature and
scant of hair, but keen and alert in
bearing.
Il have high respect for his Qualifi-
cations as a fleet commander, and
there will be plenty for us both to do. "

Most spray pumps are provided with
a mechanical agitator which keeps the
liquid in the tank in motion. These
are either a dasher or whirling pad
die Barrel pumps are usually pro-
vided with the former. while most
tanks are fitted with the latter. Some
pumps are provided with return hose
which forces part of the liquid back
into the tanks, thus setting up cur
rent but this has not proven alto
gether satisfactory. Some orchardista
prefer to stir the mixture by hand
with paddle. 1t is important to keep
the liquid well stirred and the device
that will accomplish this with the
least expenditure of time and energy
is the most desirable. Orchardists in
Colorado are said to generally prefer
the dasher type.
Reports have been coming in to
Mrs. Shute, secretary of the Colorado
State Horticultural Board, regarding
the condition and prospects for fruit
crop over the state, as indicated since
the trees and bushes Powered. From
Boulder, it is reported, that there will
be a crop in all fruits equal to last
year. excepting peaches, which have
been killed. At Holly. the peaches
crops are safe. The best report comes
from Montezuma county, where there
will be full crop of peaches and sew
enty-five to one hundred per cent of
other crops. From Rifle. it is reported
that peaches and pears are all killed
and there will be but half crop of
other fruits.-Denver Republican.
Cooperative spraying is practical
and desirable for communities having
small fruit farms and close together
as they are in Fremont county and
other Colorado districts. The use OF
power spraying outfits has proven prof
table on the large fruit farms and by
neighborhood organization the benefits
may be carried to the smaller plant
ings. The strongest objection to such
cooperation in the spraying of or
chards comes from the difficulty OF
| getting around to all orchards in the
few days when the work will be most
effective. This may be remedied to
some extent by combining in the or
ganization orchards on high and low
lands in the same neighborhood The
mesa trees are usually ready for
spraying several days ahead of those
Oh che bottoms. --Field and Farm.

MURDERERS MUST DIE
soAeD o. pAaDoNs SO DECIDES
Two Of the Murderers Of Mrs. Young
blood to Be Hanged at An Early
Date-one Reprieved for
Six Months.

Six Months.
Denver. Colo. May 1s.-After the
hearing yesterday In the governors
office. the state board OF pardons an
nounced its decision in the case Of the
three Youngblood murderers, who
sought Communication of sentence
from hanging to life Imprisonment
The verdict was that Frederick Ar
mold and Newton Andrews must be
hanged on the week beginning Sunday.
May 21st. Charles o. Peters, whose
sanity has been questioned, was
granted a six months reprieve. and
will be hanged the week beginning No
vember 18th.
All phases Of the case were care
fully considered by the board OF par
dons. A report submitted by tne
sanity commission, signed by three OF
the doctors, stated that all three of
the murderers are sane. An additional
report, signed by DR.. J. E. Courtney
with regard to the mental condition
of Charles o. Peters, indicated uncer-
tainty. and this undoubtedly Leo to his
reprieve.
1t was a sad gathering in the COVER
nor's Office.
The members of the board of par
dons were intent upon carrying out
the law, and their final decision does
so to the letter. The tears of mothers
and relatives present were of no avail
and neither were the pleas of attor-
neys for the youths.
Willis Elliott made a strong plea for
clemency for the men. He does not
believe in capital punishment and
made a sincere and eloquent talk
against it.
Col. ]. M. Essington, Arnold's attor-
ney, also spoke, asking clemency. DR..
Pierce S. Smith made a general argu-
ment against capital punishment.
Governor Mcdonald probably will
approve the report of the board as he
has stated he would be guided by Its
recommendation.
The following is the report of the
sanity commission:
May ~, 1905.
1--WE have this day examined as to
the mental condition of Charles o..
Peters. No. 1914. Frederick Arnold and
Newton Andrews, now confined in the
state penitentiary under sentence for
death. In our opinion. each of the said
convicts is sane. Respectfully,
"HOWBLL T. PERSHING, NJ. D.
"S. D. HOPKINS, M. D.
"F. N. CARRIER, NJ. D."
Dr.. Courtney's report states that
while there are many indications that
Peters is feigning insanity, some Of his
symptoms are those of dementia, leav-
ing reasonable doubt as to his san
ity.
Willis Elliott stated last night that II
sufficient money can be raised for the
purpose, the case of the Youngblood
x,,sIl l. +nIr -
the United States Supreme Court, pro-
viding Governor Mcdonald will grant
n stay of execution. 1t is estimated
that it would cost between $500 and
5000 to appeal the case. An appeal
would be taken on behalf of some one
member Of the trio. which would have
the effect of staying execution in all
three, If the high court accepted the
case.
