SECOND NAN IN The EMPIRE
Count Whites Nomination as Chan.
cellor of the Empire Expected.
The Emperor IL Apparently Grats-
full For the Services Rendered
in the Peace Negotiations.

St, Petersburg, Oct. 3.-The position
Of chief Of the ministerial cabinet, the
creation Of which Is called for by the
institution Of the imperial douma with
the right of Interpolation, was offered
to Count Witte Friday last by the IN
peror, according to current understand
ing. His nomination as chancellor IL
expected within Q month.
The emperor, it IL said in court cir.
Giles, realizes fully the great services
rendered by Count White and entertains
the friendlinest sentiments toward him.
The count appears to be highly salts
fed with the warmth Of the imperial
welcome, and the title conferred upon
him and the relations between the EN-
peror and his distinguished subject are
on q closer and intimate footing
than before the statesman's selection as
peace plenipotentiary.
Count White occupies a commanding
position in Russia. The attitude Of the
official world Is manifested by the long
lines of equipages seen in front Of his
residence, belonging to officials who
call to pay their respects to the Sec
ond man in the empire, while the tone
Of the press and the expressions of the
general public with regard to him are
almost universally commendatory.

ANIIQUARlANS ARE PUZZLED
Evidence That Chinese Lived In
MEXICO before the TOltec
Occupation.

Mexico City, Mexico. Oct. 3.-Ex-
plorations made at an old Toltec pyra-
mid on the M%agueyitos hacienda, in the
state of Puebla. have disclosed the fact
that the structure was built of clay
bricks, which proves it to be far older
ever than the Toltec occupation Of the
country. Several deliberately carved fig
ures were found representing men in
Chinese dress and with marked Chinese
features. The figures probably repre-
scented warriors. A~ntiquarians are much

For nearly 80 years the trees stood
and took the chances with the grain
and hay crops. OF course they had the
worst Of 1t and at the end of that time
there were many vacant places in the
orchard. The trees that remained were
small and sickly looking. As for fruit
there never had been much. The or.
chard had been one that didn't pay"
Fortunately a man with an idea then
took charge of the farm. He plowed
the orchard and sowed rye. In place
of cutting the grain and drawing 1t on
the field he used it for a hog pasture.
After a year the ground was again
plowed and sowed. The pigs grew up
and went their appointed way, leaving
the orchard better than they found 1t.
