President Endorses Emmons' Report
on Effects of immigration.
Washington, Jan. 23.-In taaAsmit-
ting to the senate today rsAert by
Lieutenant G. T. Emmons, of the navy,
on the condition of the natives of
Alsaska, the president sent message
saying:
Lieutenant Emmons had for many
years peculiar facilities for ascertaining
the facts about the natives of Alaska,
and has recently concluded an investi-
CATION made on the ground by my
special direction. very earnestly ask
the attention of the congress to the
facts set forth in this report as to the
needs of the native people of Alaska.
1t seems to me that our honor as ma
ton is involved in seeing that these
needs are met. earnestly hope that
legislation along the general lines advo-
Gated by Lieutenant Emmons can be
enacted"
In his report Lieutenant Emmons
says that the thrush of white men into
Alaska has caused complete change in
of conditions; that the game is rapidly
being killed off and the food supply OF
the Indians rapidly exhausted; that
they are like grown-up children and
incapable of taking care of themselves
in the new conditions, and that il
will be necessary to do something sub
Ftantial for them at an early date to
prevent actual suffering.

Strike Spreads to Every Industry
In Russian Capital.
ANGRY MOBs PARADE STREETS
Alarm Is Greater Than Over News or
Defeat in Far Eastern War
Gar Is Guarded.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 21.-With riot
GUS strikers to the number of hundreds
of thousands parading the streets OF
the capital city, and the continual
spread of the feeling of unrest through
out the empire, the Russian govern
ment is in terrible predicament.
Even worse than the news of the disas-
ters in the Far East is the alarm felt in
official quarters over the domestic sit
uation. Troops are guarding the pal
ace and all public buildings. but it is
not deemed wise to call upon them to
suppress the disorder, except in ex-
treme cases.
Late Friday evening an organized
mob attacked the Marcus cardboard
factory and attempted to throw the
manager from the window, and it was
reported that the strike fever had ex-
tended to the Alexandrovsk machine
works, where 1000 men are employed
the Baltic cartridge factory, owned by
the government, and Baron Streglitz'
cloth factory, the latter employing
5000 people of both sexes; the state
distillery and the Kaller and Beckmar
distilleries. The employees of the
Russo American rubber company, the
Youkoff hoop factory, and new cottoI
spinning establishment were the lates
acquisitions to the tied-up industries
At the latter works the police were un
able to control the mob of strikers ant
the military were ordered to thei
assistance. It was learned. late Frida,
night that the employees of the Stat
Playing Card factory, the Vagounin
paper mills, employing 1000 .hands
the Atlas machine works, the Wolff
Ma printing works and numerous othe
large plants had joined in the strike.
The city is almost in darkness, OWN
to the strike of electric light employees
and it is stated that newspaper publics
tion will be suspended.
The situation grows hourly darker
and the prospects for settlement c
the difficulties vanished when the min
lister of finance refused to receive del
egation of workingmen.

Hay Answers Note of Russia's Com
planning Against China.

planning against Cnind.
Washington, Jan. 19.-Count Cas-
sini, the Russian ambassador, was this
afternoon handed Secretary Hays reply
to Russia's complaint that China is
violating neutrality. At the same time
the note was dispatched to the Russian
ambassador, copies were transmitted
to all the European powers which en-
dorsed the agreement for limitation
of the zone of hostilities in the Far
East.
Secretary Hays noteTIis plain and
sharp, although framed in the most
polite diplomatic language. Faith is
expressed in the declaration that China
has not committed any breach of neu-
trality, but has done all possible to
maintain correct attitude towards
both belligerents. Russia is urged to
abide by the agreement .confning the
war to definite limits.
At the same time Secretary Hay for
warded note to the Chinese govern
ment, through Minister Conger at
Pekin, in which China is asked to con.
tinue the strict enforcement of neutral.
| ity, so that neither Russia nor Japar
can find any cause for complaint. Ar
inquiry is also made as to the allega
ton put forward by Russia that China
has been guilty of many violations o
neutrality.
| Secretary Hay already knows wha
the reply will be, and the question il
asked for the sole purpose of affordin,
an opportunity to deny the Russian
charge. China is afraid to answe
Russia through her own Representative
at St. Petersburg, but is anxious tina
this be done through Secretary Hay.

Poultry PickinRs.
All the non-sitting breeds lay white

The roosts should be low, especially
for heavy fowls.
Unusually large eggs denote that the
hens are too fat.

Never inbreed; change cocks every
year and always use pure-bred birds.
Old geese are best for Matching and

For young chickens It is a good plan
to mix the soft food with milk, not
making it sloppy.

In putting salt in the food, the ouan.
tity should not exceed the amount used
in food for the table.
The farm offers the advantage of a
wide range and fowls thus favored
have more beautiful plumage.
If any chickens are to be hatched
late they should be of varieties that
feather quickly and mature early.
To secure uniform chicks and have
the majority females, the fowls them
selves should possess uniformity as re-
CARDS color. plumage and age, as well
as size and marking.
Agricultural Atoms.
Animal manures are most economic

fast as collected.
Taking care of the tools and imple-
ments is one of the best methods of
economizing on the farm.
The feed is an important factor In
stock raising. The breed adapted to

suits and at lower cost proportionate-
ly.

To Get Eggs In Winter.

10 Get Eggs In WINTER
A successful poultry raiser was once
asked how to successfully get eggs
during the winter season and his reply
was, "hatch winter chickens from win
ter-laid eggs" While this Is by no
means the only thing to do, it is, be-
yond question, the foundation of the
whole matter. 1t is impossible to have
pullets that will lay eggs during the
winter season, in profitable quantities.
when these pullets are hatched from
late spring or early summer-laid eggs.
Notice we say "in profitable quanti-
ties" for the late-hatched pullet will
lay some during the winter, but its ten
dency is toward laying at the same sea-
son as the egg was laid from which
she was hatched. Here, then, is the
start for those who seek winter eggs,
and If the reader is out for this sort
OF business he should plan for an incu-
bator to be set at work in early Feb
ruary. Then it must be remembered
that the early-hatched bird, especially
in the colder sections of the North,
will require unusually good care. SO
that comfortable brooding houses must
be provided, with room for exercise,
and In places where there will be no
danger Of the chicks getting damp or
wet. If the brooder room is cool 1t
will do no harm, for the chicks will
have the brooder to go to for warmth
but the room must not be damp or wet.
Chicks raised in this manner and given
a good range during the following sum-
mer will go into winter quarters in fine
shape and produce eggs at profit in
the winter.

Change Sheep Pastures.

The sheep pasture must sometimes
havo rest from the sheep on account
of the deposit Of the eggs of intestinal
worms of sheep. In some old pastures
these eggs are spread by the millions.
This is particularly dangerous ground
to be fed over by young lambs. The
man who has more than one pasture
will find himself in an advantageous
position in case of trouble with intes-
tinal worms. He can simply change
his sheep run from one pasture to the
other. Such change is not necessary
unless there are signs Of the worms
among the sheep.

Washington, Jan. 23.-Unoficial ad-

of the government in the Panama canal

the current reports of the prevalence of
yellow fever on the isthmus are exag-

some apprehension is expressed that, if
it continues to spread, there will be a
wholesale exodus of the canal builders
from the isthmus.
