NEGOTIATIONS ABANDONED.
United States and China Deadiockec
Over Exclusion.

Washington, April 27.--Negotiations
between the United States and China
for a treaty restricting the immigra-
tion of Chinese to this country prac-
tically has been abandoned. 1t has
been found impossible by the repre-
sentatiyes of the two governments to
reach common ground of agreement
as to many of the terms of the pro-
posed treaty. The whole subject,
therefore, is being held in abeyance
until w. w. Rockhill, the recently ap-
pointed minister of the United States
to China, shall arrive in Peking. 1t
Is expected that he will take up the
matter directly with the Chinese gov
srnment In an effort to reach such
an adjustment of the tangle az may
be satisfactory to both governments.

About Rheu matism.

There are few diseases that infict
more torture than rheumatism and
there is no disease for which such a vari-
ed and useless lot of remedies have been
suggested TO say that it can be cured
is, therefore, bold statement to make,
but Chamberlain's Pain Balm, which
enjoys an extensive sale, has met with
great success in the treatment Of the
disease. One application Of Pain Balm
will relieve the pain, and hundreds OF
sufferers have testified to permanent
cures by its use. Why suffer when Pain
Balm affords such quick relief, and
costs but trihe? For sale by Stod

PRIVATE DISPATCHES FROM CIT

st. Petersburg, April 27.-Private
DISPATCHES of an alarming nature have
been received from cities and towns
along the Volga, saying that all the
dock laborers have struck. The ordi-
nary accumulation of winter freight
has been augmented by railroad block
AIDES and the failure now to move this
freight with the opening of the river
to navigation creates a most serious
situation. The strike was organized
by Black sea agitators.

SIGNALING UNDER WATER.
Invention of Immense Advantage
Both to Merchant Ships and
War Vessels.

The success Of the submarine sig
mailing process is one of the greatest
triunaphs of American inventive gen
ius.' said Mr.. John Philip Reynolds, OF
Boston, reports the Washington Post.
BY this invention messages are sent
for long distances under water as cas-
lily. as Geographic dispatches on land
The water is a much better medium
for the transmission of sound than air
by virtue Of its greater density. and un-
Ger it sound travels four times as fast
as through the atmosphere The advan-
tages, both to merchant ships and WaTs
vessels, of submarine teIegraphy are
tremendous. The merchantmen in 4
heavy fog gets word from the IigIltshiEi
that gives him his precise location and
keeps him from pounding to pieces on
the rocks. In time Of war the submarine
craft can communicate by the Morse al
phabet with every friendly battleship,
and the vessels of a feet can keep in
constant touch with each other
This system of signaling has been
taken up by Canada with more alacrity
than by any other government. and the
Dominion has appropriated a large sum
to its installation. It would seem that
its utilization by all the great naval
powers is matter that cannot be long
delayed"

TO MEASURE FERTILITY.
French Scientists Move to Place Ag-
riculture Anong the Exact
Sciences

To place agriculture among the exact
sciences is the hope of certain French
enthusiasts. and as a first step it is pro-
posed to establish system OF exact
measurements OF the fertility Of the soil.
says a recent report. A pioneer in this
artsof euphorimetry,' I. as it is called, has
been NJ Varembey. He has made many
experiments, and has recommended
euphorimetrie scale ranging from one
to ten degrees, each degree to represent
the fertility produced by i, 600 Kilograms
of farm-gard manure on one hectare of
land. He has shown that every degree
of fertility in the soil Yields IS liters
Of wheat per hectare, or 35 Iters of rye,
or IL 1iters of barley, or So Iiters Of oats.
The effects of other manures can be
determined according to this standard.
the present fertility OF any soil can be
estimated from the last crop and the ex-
haustion experience has shown to be
caused by such crop, and the probable
yield OF any one Of the cereals can be
calculated from the present fertility.
While Irregularities of temperature and
moisture must affect crops, it is believed
that theoretical results for normal CON
ditions can be worked out with much
accuracy
