Chinese exclusion and the boycott de-
clarcd against American goods by the

consideration at the Cabinet meeting to-
day.
The affairs of Russia and Japan and
Norway's application for recognition by

President Roosevelt, who returned

to Massachusetts was congratulated by
his Cabinet officers upon the reception
he received at the colleges he visited
and upon the receipt of the unusual
degree of Doctor of Human Letters,
which was conferred upon him bv viii

That the Chinese question is serious
one is fully realized by President
Roosevelt and his Cabinet What they
are considering is by what means the
Administration can straighten out the
tangle pending the convening of Con-
gress.

Tobacco Factory Destroyed.

The tobacco factory at Elkton, KY,
owned by Mrs. NJ. B. Penyck and opera
ted by the American SnufrCOmpany was
blown up by dynamite early yesterday.
There was no loss Of life, but the factory
was completely destroyed. The plant
was not insured.
The force of the explosion was felt for
a great distance. Several houses in the
vicinity and the railroad depot were dam
aged.
The conductor of a passenger train on
the Elkton and Guthrie railroad stated
Yesterday that late last night, as his
train was making the return trip from
Guthrie to EktoD, he was fiaggei at
Bradshaw's, small station two miles
south of Elktop. When the train had been
stopped the engine was boarded by mask.
ed men, who instantly covered the en-
pineer with revolyers and told him to do
their bidding.
At the same time about $50 men, all
heavily masked, Boarded the train, some
40 of them marching from one end to
the other with drawn revOlvers. The
leader of the gang told the passengers
not to get excited. as they were only
looking for t)baccO buyers.
After thorough search Of the train
had been made all the men, so far as the
conductor knew, left the coaches and the
engineer was ordered TO proceed. The
train then moved on to ElktOn.
For long time there has been trouble
between different factions among the to-
bacco men and this is believed to have
been the cause of the destruction of the
plant. 1t was learned that tobacco fac
tory at Trenton, KY, controlled by the
Italian Reggie contractors, was burned
several nights ago. The fire is thought
to have been incendiary.

To Be Hanged.

The Court Of Appea's Of the District
of Columbia vest, rday handed down a
decision affirming the sentence Of death
imposed on William w. Hamilton, who
was convicted in the Criminal Court in
April last Ct the murder of Mary Eliza
beth Butler by choking her to death.
The Butler woman, according to the tes-
timony offered at the trial, bad left her
husband and had been living with Ham
ltou for several months prior to her
death. Hamilton, it was alleged, was
intensely jealous, and when he went to
his home on the evening of the homicide
and found The woman away he concealed
himself behind the door and waited for
her. When she appeared he jumped
upon her and choked her until he
thought she was dead, and then, to sat
isfy himself that life was extinct, he
tied a necktie around her neck and pull
ed it hard at the ends. He then sat by
her body and smoked cigarettes all
night.

The Pona's s EncYclical.

The Pope has issued most impor-
tant encyclical addressed to the bish ops
of Russian Poland recommending the
Poles to cooperate in the pacifcatiOn of
the Empire, obey their rulers and avoid
seditioD.
The Pope says he is preoccupied with
the grave crisis in Poland and will try
to contribute to its complete pacification.
Evils are affiicting Poland and many
duties weigh upon the episcopacy and
the faithful. Among the evils are sub
versive parties which are spreading ter
ror and causing damage. Although the
good Poles are in the majority, the Pom
tiff says, they lack energy which renders
possible the deplorable excesses, un-
worthy Of a civilized people, "such as
massacres Of Jews, which are condemned
and detested by the evangelical law,
which imposes love of all indiscrimi-
nately."
Among the remedies the encyclical
suggests love of religion, which teaches
one to submit bis passion to the law Of
God, subordinating human interests to
supernatural aims. During the troubles
in Russia Catholics must form an ele-
ment sincerely wishing for peace and
order.
The Poutiff urges the Poles to pro-
mote serious organization against the
subyersives by working against strikes,
"which damage intellectually the welfare
Of the people" =" and indicates that it is
the duty Of all good people 10 work to-
ward obtsining legally schools inspired
by the Catholic spirit of duty. Students
should abstain from so-called scholastic
strikes.

pecially to support electoral reforms, Sc

which in their nature are natural
monopolies. tue relief Of labor and capi-
tai from unjust burders( thus securing
the increased production of wealth., just
wages and fair hours for those who labor,

the end that equal rights, may be Sc
cured to all and special privileges to
none. and, further, to unite in common
all societies and associations organized,

sown to wheat. North Dakota stands
second in the production of spring
wheat, and was exceeded by only one
Of the winter wheat states three times
in the last four years. The average
per capita production of wheat for the
last four years has been 1867 bushels,
having an average farm value of $685.
for the same period.
-..s' Flax and Oats.
North Dakota soil and climate are
well adapted to the growth Of faxseed
and many instances can be cited where
farmers have more than paid for their
land with one crop Of fax. The past
four years the United States has pro-
duced l03,9S5,000 bushels Of faxseed of
which 54,825,O00 or So per cent were
grown in North Dakota. The average
per capita production for the same per-
an average farm value Of 1886.
According to the last federal census
North Dakota ranks second in the per
capita production Of oats; Iowa alone
having higher rank. For the past
four years the average yield per acre
has been $3.50 bushels compared with
30.2 bushels for the United States. &
Since 1901 the acreage Of barley has
increased from 257 900 to $4,000 acres.
The average yield for the same period
IS 29.9 bushels compared with an aver
age for the United States of OIL
bushels. &
The four crops above mentioned cover
80 per cent of the cultivated area Of
the state and the reports of the bureau
of statistics, United States department
of agriculture, show that the average
value per capita for 1901, 1902, 1903 and
1904, of these four grains was $169.75.
North Dakota Corn.
| North Dakota is usually considered
too far north for corn-g growing, but
many farmers have found that by prop
erlys selecting their seed, corn can be
grown proftably in nearly every part
Of the state. 1t not only pays to grow
corn for the grain and fodder, but the
thoro cultivation the soil receives in
growing a crop Of corn, puts the land
in such a good condition for wheat or
flax that the yield is increased from one
quarter to one third over land sown con-
tinuously to wheat.
Actual analyses show higher per
cent of protein, and consequently a
more nutritious fodder, in the corn fod-
der grown in North Dakota, than that
grown in the so-called corn states.
Spring rye and buckwheat grow well
and speltz, or emner, is a grain rapidly
increasing in favor in sections outside
Of the Red river valley. The acreage
Of grass crops is rapidly increasing in
