lieved that these guards will be main
tained for some time. Especial care Is
taken in protecting the American lega-
tion building, owing to the attacks
made by a mob upon e. II. Hartman
and the anti-American tendencies of
the rioters.
Gen. Sakumo, commander-in-chie of
the Toxic garrison, upon assuming
charge of the city, when martial law
was proclaimed, has issued the follow
ing instructions:
by imperial ordinance | have been
authorized to suppress the disorders in
Toxic and it's vicinity and maintain
peace and order in the same locality.
Judging by the occurrences to date, nu-
merous persons assembled In several
places in the last several days, and in
this period riotous acts, such as the
burning of government property and
Christian churches and destroying cars
were committed. These acts are deemed
to be the outcome of temporary ex-
citement, without calm consideration
Every measure will now be taken to
stop a recurrence of the acts, and l
have given the following instructions to
the force under my command:
at is necessary that every person
behave prudently and warn and guide
his dependents to prevent recurrence
and extension of the riotous acts Those
not engaged in the acts are warned
against assembling lest they incur un-
foreseen accidents. In ordering the
dispersal of crowds and in stopping
riots the guards are required to do sc
verbally, and in case words prove tc
be Intellectual warnings, by firing
blanks. Should the preceding measures
prove to be Intellectual, they must re-
sort to the actual use Of arms as a last
measure"

Toxic Sept. 9.-Yesterday was one
Of comparative quiet throughout the
empire, and here, throughout the day,
there was no sign of disorder.
The sudden termination of the riot
ing of the people. the means they took
to call the attention of the emperor
to the wrath they felt at the conclu-
sion of the war on the Portsmouth
terms, was brought about by last
nights proclamation of martial law.
The japanese people have a wholesome
regard for the army, and with the mill
itary in command repetition of Tues

and dragged it through the muddy
streets.
In the district of Kanda a crowd
threatened to burn a cathedral, but the
sergent of the guard threatened that II
the cathedral was destroyed that he
and the guard would commit suicide.
The crowd obviously, did not care to
witness the death of the soldiers, and,
convinced that the guard was deter
mined to make good its threat, agreed
to leave the church property untouched
In HOMO, on Thursday, the Catholic
church and the school established by
Presbyterians and four private dwell
ings were burned. Three mission
churches in Asakusa district were also
fired and destroyed.
At Hyogo, the mob attacked Chris
tian church, but the pastor and his as
sistants hoisted white flag. Upon
sight of the flag the mob did not make
trouble for its inmates, but contenteC
itself with a destruction of much OF
the furniture in the building. The

PEARY'S SHIP
Boilers Reported to Be Not Working
Satisfactorily.

st. Johns, N. F., Sept. S.-Captain
Robert Bartlett, master of Peary's Arc
tic steamer Roosevelt, in letter to the
St Johns Herald, dated Etah, North
Greenland, August Is, and published
today, says the boilers aboard the
steamer are not working satisfactorily
and form the only drawback thus far
to the expeditions chances.
The Roosevelt grounded in North
Star bay, but was rehoated undamased.
Could she keep up steam, her master
says, she would make a speed of ten
knots, and probably reach latitude So
degrees this season. She took north 70

UNEASINESS
Prevails Over Relations Between Nor
way and Sweden.


Christiania, Sept. 9.-With the return
yesterday from Karlstad of the Nor
wegian commissioners sent to discuss
with the commissioners of Sweden the
question of the dissolution of the union,
a decided sense of uneasiness prevails,
and this is accentuated by the complete
silence observed in official circles re-
garding the progress of the negotia-
tions.
Even in the most pacific circles the
situation is looked upon as having an
element of danger, and the prevailing
nervousness has been increased by the
tone of the Swedish newspapers, which
are now calling upon the government
to mobilize 10000 troops, at the same
time pointing out that Norway is only
able to command 5000 troops.
While the Swedish ricksdag demand
ed that the ''fortresses recently erected
be no longer maintained" the Swedish
newspapers insist that the fortifications
of the old fortresses of Fredriksten and
Kongsvinger shall be destroyed. Nc
suggestion could be made which woufd
more deeply wound the national pride
of the Norwegians. Kongsvinger Is 81
miles from the frontier and holds @
commanding position for the defense
of Christiania, the richest section O
Norway, while the corresponding on'
in Sweden, 1t is pointed out, is unim'
portant and has never been fortified"
Responsible persons here say tina
the arrogant tone adopted by thu
Swedish press, unless it is modified, II
| likely to lead to serious developments.

Canada's increasing consumption of products
of the United States continues to be a notable
feature of American commerce. Figures just
compiled by the department of commerce and
labor through its bureau of statistics, show that
exports from the United States to the Dominion
o. Canada grew from $51,903,579 in the ten
months ending with April, 1897, to $1O4, 1888
il the ten months ending with April, 1904, and
tc $114,943,079 in the corresponding period of
1905. The increase here noted is but a contn-
uation of the growth which, with trifing excep-
tions, has characterized our trade with Canada
since 1870. During the period from 1855 to 1866
recrOpOcity treaty was in operation between the
United States and Canada: from 1867 to 1897
commerce between the two countries was unaf
fected by special trade arrangements; from April
1897, to August, $685. the United States was
placed at slight disadvantage as compared with
the United Kingdom products from that country
entering the Dominion of Canada being admitted
at a reduction of 1914 per cent as compared with
the duties charged on importations from the
United States. On August 1, 1898, this reduction
in favor of the United Kingdom was increased to
25 per cent, and on July l. 1900, was still further
increased to 33 1-3 per cent and cheapness of
American good, however, has served to maintain
and even increase the volume of exports from the
United States to Canada, despite the varying con-
ditions to which our trade with that country has
been subjected. In the fiscal year 1855, the first
year of reciprocity with Canada, our exports to

All Iowa is interested in the plan of turning
the waste products of the cornfelds of the west
corn-producing states into paper, and paper OF
such quality that it will compare favorable with
the famous Japanese vellum. w. r. Patterson,
Professor of Economics and Statistics of the State
University of Iowa, investigated the process OF
the National Fiber and Cellulose company while
in Chicago, in the interests of the commercial
museum of the university Just common, ordi-
nary cornstalks, 100000 tons Of which are al
lowed to rot yearly in the seven western states
producing the greatest amount of corn, is the
material from which experimentaly, the company
has already produced excellent paper at cost
ranging from $24 to $25 per ton. The cost of
manufacturing paper from wood pulp or rags is
estimated at from $50 to SIS per ton. Over $780,
600 has been spent in the projections of ma
chinery for the handling of this material. An
improved thrashing machine which separates the
stalk from the leaves, husks the ears, delivers
the stalks bound in bundles ready for shipment
and the parts of the plant valuable for stock food
into the barn, has only recently been patented.
These bundles of cornstalks then shipped to
a depithing plant, where, after passing through
several operations the pith is separated from
the hard fiber surrounding the stalk and rolled,
making an excellent quality of paper. The hard
outside fiber is used in the manufacture of box
board. The company has an option paper
mill at Kankakee, ILL.,, where the machines have
been operating successfully. Every vestige of
the stalk is utilized in some manner. In prepar-
ing cellulose, gun cotton, smokeess powder var
nish, artificial leather rubber substitutes insulat
ing materials electrical apparatus, lnoleum and
floor coverings, papier mache and interior deco
rations, picture frames and signs, paper cover
ings, lubricants golf balls and sundry other pro-
ducts, different parts of the stalk are said to be
available The development of this industry will
mean much to the corn producer of the middle
west. It's progress will be watched with intense
interest.
