Now Trying Diplomacy.

st. Petersburg. Jan. 14.-Russia' s
formal information to the powers OF
the imminent danger of general up
rising in China as the result of Japa-
nese propaganda, which will threaten
all foreign interests, coupled with
general protest against China's re-
peated violation of neutrality in con-
nection with Japanese operations, Is
really a warning to the powers that
Russia regards the situation as ex'
tremely serious and holds that the
time has come for joint action by the
powers for the protection of their own
interests.
For herself Russia feels that Japan
has broken the pledge she made with
respect to Secretary Hays note at the
beginning of the war and further per-
sistepce in this course will, she holds.
absolve her from further observance
and leave her free to act for her own
protection.
In diplomatic circles considerable
importance is attached to the note and
it is designed to induce Secretary Hay
to initiate steps to bring joint pres
sure to bear, in order to prevent the
extension of the zone of hostilities and
to compel China to adopt drastic meas
ures against the present agitation IN

nual institute and m!dwinter fair of
the Fremont Horticultural Society
opened here this morning with a splen-
did display of fruit. particularly of ap-
pies, of which between fifty and sew
enty-five varieties are shown. The first
day was characterized by large at
tendance of people and interesting pa
pers and discussions dealing with the
orchard products took place. The pre-
yailing cold weather has added to
rather than detracted from the attend
ance, and fruit growers unable to work
in the open air are going in large num-
bers to the institute, as would other
wise be the case. to gain new ideas re-
lating to scientific horticulture.

states that he expects work to COM
mence on construction of cuts and the
tunnel without further delay. The sec
retary Of the interior has approved the
bonds of the contractors and accepted
their contracts. Several large air
compressors and other heavy machin-
cry will be purchased in Denver for
the tunnel work. The contractors have
plans ready to commence on excavat-
ing the cut leading to the tunnel and
will begin this work Immediately. The
open cut will be half mile long. The
tunnel will be 10000 feet In length
and carry 1900 cubic feet of water
per second. After emerging from the
tunnel the water will be conveyed by
100 miles of canals and laterals and
distributed upon 125.O00 acres of land.
Mr.. Fellows will take up the proposed
project for irrigating 10000 acres of
land by diverting the waters Of the
Grand river to the high line ditch.

surveys have been made and the pro-
ject found feasible. If a water users
association can be formed, SO that all
of the water diverted will be used.
the reclamation service will proceed
with the project. the estimated cost
of which is $1,500.OO0.

Denver. Colo, Jan. 13.-The News
report this morning says: In the

National Live Stock convention last
night declared positively against any
reorganization whatsoever. They say
that they want no union with packers

their reorganization project have been

the consolation of a vote of thanks to
President Hagenbarth was passed
over, although by an oversight in the
excitement.
1t was only after hard, all-day
struggle to attempt to find out the
status of the conference committee on
reorganization that the cattlemen took
matters into their own hands, and said
that they wanted their organization for
themselves. Col. w. Z. Hughes OF the
Continental Trust Company of Denver,
himself big ranch owner, was the
man who engineered the resolution
that killed the reorganization scheme

that he would not run again for the

The conference committee, which
was delayed yesterday from making a
report on reorganization, is scheduled
to make one this morning at 8 o'clock.
This will advise admitting the packers
and stock yards men and excluding the
railroads, but its report is not consid-
cred of much value because of the de-
cisive measures of the stockmen last
night.

Bell Will Not Resiqn.

Denver, Jan. 13.-Tbe News this
morning says: AdJutant General Bell
will not :esign from the Colorado Ma
;ional Guard, neither will he accept a
discharge unless he is forced to do so.
This was formally announced from
the adjutant generals office yesterday
afternoon, after General Bell had held
a long conference with General Frank
Reardon of Victor, United States Mar
shal Dewey c. Bailey. and Colonel
Corliss, a retired officer who has been
ordered to serve as military adviser
to the national guard.
The position taken by Bell is that
he is an officer Of the federal govern
mcnt, under the provisions of the Dick
bill, and that he has charge of federal
arms and ammunition. for the proper
custody of which he is under heavy
bond. He declares that while the adju-
tant general is appointed by the state,
he is really under authority OF the
United States War Department and
can not be discharged before his term
is up, except by court-nartial.
General Bell was asked to resign on

BRIsToW RESIGNS.
Made Special Commissioner In connee-
ton With Panama Work.

Washington, Jan. 14.-Joseph l..
Bristow, fourth assistant postmaster
general, to-day rendered to the Presi-
dent his resignation as an officer OF the
postal service, to take effect January
10th. By an executive order issued
late this afternoon President Roosevelt
designated Mr.. Bristow as special
commissioner to make an Investigation
into the present trade conditions and
freight rates between the Atlantic and
the Pacific coasts and between the
west coast of South America and the
east coasts of the United States and
of Europe. to determine the best pol
icy of managing the Panama railroad.
After the conference at the White
House Senator Long said the transfer
of Mr.. Bristow from the Postoffice De-
partment to work in connection with
the proposed Isthmian canal had been
under consideration for long time.
He said:
Secretary Taft desired to utilize Mr..
Bristow's services in connection with
the work of constructing the canal and
has had the idea in mind of appointing
him a commissioner to investigate
trade and freight conditions ever since
he returned from the isthmus of Pan
anna. The President readily acceded
to Secretary Taft's suggestion, and as
the work will be entirely congenial, Mr.
Bristow has accepted the new posi-
ton"

What must strike the visitor most Is
the uniform excellence OF the birds,
the careful manner in which they are
shown, and the admirable arrange

Colorado is by no means a wheat
growing state as compared with the
Dakotas, but In acre yield and quality
of production we have them all
skinned. All wheat grown In Colorado
is known to the milling trade as soft
wheat and II is bringing the highest
price of the past decade. Tests on this
years crop show sixty-one to sixty
three pounds to the bushel The aver
age production last year was about
forty bushels to the acre, while this
year thousands of acres produced fifty
bushels to the acre and in some sec
tions as high as sixty-three bushels.
The superiority of Colorado over other
states as a wheat producer is shown
in the fact that the state of Washing
ton. which according to the United
States census is the next highest pro-
ducer by the acre to Colorado, aver
aged only 27.1 bushels in 1901 while
North Dakota yielded 2G.5 bushels. The
production of wheat in Colorado this
car was close to 100000 bushels and
would have been still greater had not
wet weather brought on an attack OF
ust which damaged late grain in va
inns localities.-Filed and Farm.

Senator Hepburn has introduced a
hill for the relief of entrymen on lands
proposed to beoirrigated under the re-

that qualified entrymen who have

gated under the reclamation act may.
upon application and showing that
water is not available for irrigating
said lands, obtain leave OF absence
from their entries for a period not to
exceed six months, during any one
year. until water for irrigation Is
turned into the main canals on the

AT WASHINGTON
Proposed Ship Subsidies.

Subventions of IS per gross ton an
nually; subsidies for the carrying Of
mails from Atlantic coast and Gulf OF
Mexico ports to South and Central
America and Cuba, and from Pacific
coast ports to Japan, China, the Phil
ippines, Mexico, Central America and
the Isthmus of Panama; a tonnage tax
on foreign vessels entering United
States ports; the creation OF a naval
volunteer service, and the encourage
ment of apprentices on ships in for
eign trade are provided for in a bill
agreed upon by the joint merchant
and marine commission. which sub
mitted its report to Congress last
week.
The commission, composed OF hve
senators and five representatives. was
created during the last session of Con-
gress in response to recommends
tion by President Roosevelt in his an
nual message December Z. 1903. An
exhaustive investigation was made by
the commission of the conditions of
the American merchant marine and
American commerce, with view to
ascertaining the most feasible means
for their development. Hearings were
conducted during the year at nearly all
the important shipping and CONNER
The report deals at length with the
handicap upon American shipping cre-
ated by the subsidies and bounties be-
slowed upon most of the merchant
fleets of foreign governments. which
Is placed in the van of the lower first
cost of foreign ships and the lower
cost of maintenance Of these ships.
due. in both cases, primarily, to lower
wages.
A table is given showing that nearly
all OF the foreign powers grant ship
ping subsidies. France pays more
than $4,000, 900, and eight other for
eign governments more than 81 100000
each for the encouragement OF their
merchant marine.
As the first essential step In the re
habilitation of merchant shipping the
commission proposes to create a force
of naval volunteers, composed of the
best officers and men of American
merchant ships and deep-sea fishing
vessels. Necessarily small at drst
means for a healthy and sure expan-
sion of the force is provided by the
payment of substantial retainers as an
inducement to enroll. 1t is understood
that officers and men shall receive
their seamen's pay. besides this re.
tainer, during their period Of actual
INSTRUCTION.. lne navy bcpdi thehs
has asked for reserve of 10000 men
in the bills It has presented to Con
gress.
The report quotes the commissions or
Of navigation to show that not more
than 10000 American citizens are In
cluded in the enrolment Of employees
on all the American vessels on salt
water, which go out Of sight Of land
for any time during the year. Com
menting on this lack Of material for a
naval volunteer force the commission
says:
"Out Of these 10000 officers and men
probably not more than one-half would
be eligible for naval volunteer ser.
vice. 1t is therefore manifest
! that shipowners must not only be en-
couraged to employ these naval vol
unteers, but encouraged to build more
ships to develop an increased naval
service as well as to advance the In
terests of commerce"
