sidered as having been in square bales as the comparatively small amount in round bales and in bales of sea island cotton would not appreciably affect the | results intended to be shown. The es- | timate of the bureau of statistics was expressed as in net weight bales, which an examination of the figures used by the former statistician of the bureau, Mir. Hyde. shows to have been estimated at 5O6.2 pounds.
 If Mir Hyde had employed the same basis as that employed by the Census Bureau in reducing his estimate of the pounds of lint cotton produced in bales, i. e., had he given the figures repre- senting production in bales of a gross weight of 500 pounds each, or a net weight of ATS pounds each, his estimate would have shown 12,SS1,000 bales as having been produced instead of 12, 163,O00, thus making the discrepancy between his preliminary estimate and the final figures of the Census Bureau only trife over per cent.
 Had Mir Hyde known in December of last year the basis upon which he predicted his estimate of 12163,0 900 bales Chat Is. had he published the ac- tual pounds of lint estimates as pro- duced exclusive of linters) the same placed in comparison with the actual number of net pounds produced as shown by the bureau of the census would have shown a divergence in his statement of only 4,2 per cent, as may readily be seen by the following fig ures: The final report of the Census Bureau indicated total production for the season of 1904-05 of 6,426, 6,69S, 900 pounds
 "The estimate of the Bureau of Sta tistics was 6,157 7,064,000 pounds, both figures being given out in round num- bers exclusive of linters. The differ ence between the estimate of the Bu- reau of Statistics and the report of the Bureau of the Census was 269 34,000 pounds, discrepancy or urine over per cent.
 ''It must be plain to any one from the foregoing that had the census bu- reau and the bureau of statistics used the same basis ip reporting and esti- mating the number of bales produced the estimate of the bureau of statistics would not have been considered as se- riously out of the way. The figures given above emphasize the necessity of uniformity in methods of statistical ex- pression as between different bureaus of the Government and 1t was for this reason that the bureau of statistics Of the Department of Agriculture, decided in making the estimate on December of the probable yield of cotton this season to express the same in bales in the same size as the bales reported by the census bureau. thus establish ing uniformity and enabling a ready comparison of the figures emanating from the two bureaus
 There has been some criticism of the bureau of statistics because of its departure this year from its previous custom of receiving the number Of net weight bales and of using the gross weight bale instead;. but 1t is thought the above statement will be sufficient to make 1t plain to anyone that the step was taken properly and that any oher method would be likely to lead to the same confusion and misunder- standing that has existed in making public reports in previous years.

THE ORIENTAL, CUSTOM
HUSBAND SMOKES OPIUM INSTEAD
 OF DRINKING WHIskEY.
When He Comes Home He Does Not Kick His Wife, American
 Fashion, But Wife Kicks Him. --...

New York. Dec S.-The coming mill | itary greatness of China was predicted today by N G. Poon Chew, editor of q San Francisco Chinese paper, who spoke at the immigration conference of the National Civic Federation. Today s discussion was upon the Asiatic immi- grant. The Chinese editor said:
 There is no ground to sustain the objections raised to the Chinese. or course we have Chinese people of bad character-we have gamblers and we have opium smokers. If l were a wo- man and my husband insisted on talk ing something, I would rather ne LOOK opium every time than whiskey. Whis- key raises the, passions which trans forms men into brutes; opium trans forms him into a living corpse. The American filled with whiskey comes home and kicks his wife; the Chinaman under the influence of opium goes home and his wife kicks him.
 You Americans are all angels and we Chinese are only half angels and half devils, a combination which you call human.
 "The most striking objection to the Chinese Is that we do not assimilate. Asimilate. humbug. You do not give us a chance. You throw every conceivable obstacle in our way. On the Pacific Coast you forbid us to intermarry and at the same time you condemn us for not helping to solve the race suicide problem. You claim that we send money out of the country to China. This is not so. We send goods Every American dollar Is worth a dollar in inc United States, while 1t is worth but 47 cents in China. Therefore we send goods.

therefore a comparison of statistics could not be made.
 The statistics of this report include 239,034 round bales and S2.203 sea is- land bales. The sea island cotton Is distributed by States as follows: Flor ida, 31,584; Georgia, 41,692; South Car olina, S,927.
 The following statement was issued at the department of agriculture to- day:
 Tt will be recalled that in Decem- Der last year the bureau of statistics of the department of agriculture made a preliminary estimate of the produc tion of cotton for the season 1904-05 of 12,163.000 bales and that subsequently, the bureau of the census issued reports showing the total production to have been 3,43S, ,000 bales. both amounts be- ing exclusive of linters. This showed an apparent discrepancy of 9.5 per cent; the estimate of the bureau of statistics of the department of agriculture be- ing apparently that much too small as shown by the actual facts disclosed by the census reports later on. This discrepancy to the extent in- dicated did not actually exist. It was largely due to the fact that the census bureau expressed the production of the year in question bales of 500 pounds gross weight or ATS lbs. net weight, as far as square bales were concerned. such bales constituting 9S.3 per cent. of the crop. For the purpose of this comparison the entire crop will be con-

EXCLUSION OF COOLIES
NATIONAL CIVIC FEDERATION ADOPTS RESOLUTIONS.
It Is Made Plain That Better Treat ment Should Re Accorded Visi- ting Chinamen of the Better

New York, Dec. S.-After a day spent in discussing Asiatic immigration the National Civic Federation Conference on immigration which has been ill ses- sion here Wednesday finally adjourn ed tonight.
 There was lively debate this after noon on the subject of Chinese immi- grafton. The resolutions on the sub ject as they came from the committee On resolutions were regarded by many of the delegation as nullifying the pres ent Chinese exclusion act.
 Samuel F. GompeEs President of the American Federation of Labor, led in the fight for modified expression and after nearly every delegate to the con ference had been heard. the following substitute was presented and adopted unanimously:
 Resolved. that our laws and treat les should be so framed and adminis- tered as to carefully except Chinese students. business men and professional men of all kinds, not only merchants, but bankers. doctors, manufacturers, professors and travellers from the en- forcement of the exclusion law"
 Previously the following resolution had been adopted:

Washington. Dec. S.-A bulletin is- sued by the census bureau today shows the number of bales of cotton ginned to December 1, 1905. to be S,S64,S42 counting round bales as half bales. A previous report showed 7.49S,167 bales ginned to November 19, 1905.

 T edit a paper turned out by yellow men, but we yellow men turn out q white paper and many white men turn out a yellow paper
 Tt Is almost as impossible for a Chinaman to enter the United States as it Is for a rich fat American millionaire with all his money on his back to climb to heaven through fire escape. have in my pocket a letter from a friend of mine, graduate of Yale Uni versity who after teaching in Singa- pore for three years. desired to return to the United States and he stayed for one month in the detention sheds, and then was deported. We want better men at the head of the inspectors, not those pigheaded, oyster-b brained officers which you now have. These officials who de- ported this educated Chinaman could none of them have written such let ter-such a fluent diction such perfect rhetoric, such command of the English.
 T don't say this by way of threat, but I do say that 1t Is most unwise that you should by this unjust dis crimination create the antagonism of a country naturally friendly. Human and awakened China will soon become powerful and mighty and will demand, ten or fifteen years hence, the same treatment that Is accorded other na- tions." .s. =.
