COLLEGE PARK, September 2. 1905.
Over one hundred prominent agricultur-
lists. representing practically every section
of Maryland, were present at the second
and final days session of the thirteenth
annual meeting Of the farmers organiza-
lions held at the Maryland Agricultural
College here today.
DIR. Augustus Stabler of Brighton, Mont
gomery county. was chairman of the COM
mittee on the Maryland Agricultural Col
lege, and submitted report which was
unanimously adopted.
A resolution was also adopted setting
forth:
That we pledge to our great Secretary
of Agriculture. in the person of James
wilson, our unbounded confidence In him
as a man; our supreme faith In his ability
to conduct the work Of his great depart
ment with eye single to the uplifting OF
the great agricultural interests of the
United States; our confidence and faith
for the future, built upon the history Of
the past. the only sure guide for the birth
of two sentiments of the human heart as
farmers of Maryland we wish to express to
him In this public manner our sincere ap-
probation of the valuable Information
which has come to us from the bureaus
making up his department; that a copy
dent of the United States and one to
James S. Wilson"
n resolution was also passed inviting the
attention of the managers of the transpor-
tation companies of Maryland to the work
being done by similar organizations in other
sections to bring the farmers OF those sec
lions into an intimate acquaintance with
the work of the colleges and experiment
stations Of their sections and the conse-
Quent improvement in their farms and In
creased production. followed by the neces-
sary consequence of larger freight and
express transportation: that a committee
be appointed whose duty 1t will be to
gather statistics for presentation to the
! transportation companies Of Maryland of
the work done elsewhere In this direc-
ton. and the beneficial results following
from such cooperation between agricul-
turists and transportation companies.
This resolution was also passed:
That the agricultural interests of the
state of Maryland again demand that the
senators and representatives from our state
in Congress shall make some effort to have
the immigration laws revised. so that our
farmers clubs can contract for their labor
in the north of Europe, as this desirab BILE
class of emigrants is not now coming into
our state under the present laws"
1t was announced that the annual meet
ing of the State Horticultural Society will
be held in Baltimore December next.

Assertion of Whites Mouthpiece.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
PARIS. September According to
Prof. Alexandra Ular. who passes here for
the mouthpiece of NJ Witte and Is known
to be in close touch with the German for
eign office, II Japan had obtained a war
indemnity from Russia she would have
been able to free herself from her debt to
the United States, which is guaranteed
by her customs dues. and could thus have
emancipa.ed herself from American influ-
ence.
President Roosevelt, recognizing this.
Prof Ular declares, was able to impose
peace on Japan, for. without the aid OF
American finance. she could not continue
the war Japan. therefore. Is still under
the yoke of American finance. But she
will seize the earliest opportunity of free
ing herself, says Prof Ular, by means OF
q Russo-Japanese condominium In the far
east, an old scheme of NJ Whites sugges-
ton which Is visible in the partition OF
Sakhalin.
Thus the peace which Roosevelt has i'm
posed will bring about a Russo-Japanese
alliance and revoluttonize conditions in
Asia.

NEW RULE APPROVED.
Navy Yards VIII Be Kept Uniformly
Busy,

Special Dispatch to The Star
PORTSMOUTH. Va, September 2.-The
new rule of the Navy Department, giving
each of the warships and auXiiaries OF the
several fleets a navy yard at which all
work upon them Is to be done, will become
effective this fall when the big ships dis
perse from the fleets for repairs prepara-
tory to the winter evolution. Naval Of
ficers are inclined to believe that this new
plan of Secretary Bonaparte's IS one Of
the best that the department has yet
devised. 1t will have the effect of keeping
the navy yards uniformly busy and will
obvate to a degree the necessity for con-
slant fluctuations in the size of the force
employed at the yards, which makes en-
ployment therein so precarious and unsat-
isfactory to skilled labor.
The necessity for holding a competent
force at each of the navy yards against the
time of emergency Is a most important one,
as naval officers all realize. Without con-
slant repair work, however, 1t Is impossible
to hold such force, the men dispensing to
other cities in search of work. In view of
the great advance that has been made In
the facilities of the navy yard in this city
for taking care of the ships of the new
navy, even of the largest types. there is a
renewal of the effort preached. sometime
ago. to have the new dry dock, now in
process of construction, heightened to 700
feet 1t Is now a shade shorter than COO
feet.

OF one OF the worst fogs and smoke pals
In many years. The forest fires. raging for
miles along either shore on the lower st.
Lawrence. have spread dense cloud OF
smoke over the country. which. added to
the fog. makes navigation very difficult and
dangerous. Word reached the pilots office
here today that all big liners were advised
to anchor at Battiscan. above the stranded
Allan liner. while vessels In the lower river
have been advised to move very warily.
The fog and smoke still hang over the

CUMBERLAND, Md, September 2.-The
republican primaries, held in Aliegany

troll Of the organization as against the field
led by ex-senator Wellington. Out Of six
teen precincts so far received. the Pearre
people have fifteen committeeman.
Indications point to the nomination Of
David f. Dick for state senator. Eleven
precincts out of forty-two give Dick 223. d.
Iindley Sloan 1S1, and Albert A. Doub 1863.
The Mount Savage district, the only returns
from the mining section, indicate a land
slide for Dick, who received seventy votes,
to eight for Sloan and fortyfour FOR Doub.
This would indicate Dicks great popularity
among the miners Dick is backed by the
Pearre organization, while ex-senator We'll
lington is behind Sloan. Mr. Doub made
an independent fight against the freight
differential on Georges Creek coal. In
four CUMBERLAND precincts, which have a
light republican vote, Sloan Is slightly
ahead.
