CHINESE ARE AWAKENING.
Feeling Against American Exclusion Is
Very Bitter.

Very Bitter.
Oakland, Cal.-The Rev. Arthur
Smith, a missionary in China, who has
just returned on the Siberia, is visit
ing, friends in this city. The mission
airy says:
THE strong antiforeign feeling in
China is due in large part to the de-
feat of Russia by Japan. The Chinese
are awakening to the fact that they
are not subject people. The feeling
against the United States is very BIT
ter because of the exclusion act. This
feeling is heightened by imaginary
wrongs and exaggerated descriptions
of indignities heaped upon Chinese in
this country, as sent home by the Chi
nese in the United States. But Chi
ma, as whole, has come to the belief
that it Is easier and cheaper to carry
on negative war against the United
States than to attack missions and kill
missionaries. The country has learned
that where there is no violence there
is no punishment to follow. This feel
ing is confined to the coast cities, how
ever, and I do not believe that it
would be safe for an American to ven
ture into the interior provinces.
What the more intelligent want is
that the exclusion treaty shall be in
telligently amended, and shall be en-
forced only against those classes It
is meant to affect"

Kind OF Irish Potatoes To Plant.

The condition of the Irish potato
set al the time of planting is a very
important factor in obtaining a
maximum crop Of potatoes.
When the set is planted in the
field and begins to sprout,the young
plant gets it's food to begin with,
from the parent set; it also utilities
the moisture in the Land in dry
time it is very important on this
account alone, to have sets well
charged with moisture. When pO-
tatoes sprout in a warm, moist Gel
lar, as they so often do, the shoots
take from the tubers both plant
food and moisture, The shoots are
usually broken off when handling
the potatoes, and hence when the
tubers are cnt for planting they are
not in the best condition to produce
a good crop Of potatoes. Careful
experiments and observation prove
that the second shoots are not so
strong as the first. In order to be
certain that when the sets are cut
the eye will start, a good practice is
to spread the potatoes out in the
lighs a few days before cutting
them until the eyes start. when
they. can be cut more intelligently.
Experiments conducted by the De-
partment Of Agriculture for Ireland
in 1904, fhowed 90 bushels per acre
in favor OF sprouting the setsbefore
planting. Experiments have been
conducted along the line of cutting
different sized sets upw ard of 100
years. These experiments PROVE
that. all things being equal, the
larger the set planted, the larger
the yield; hence, large. whole pota.
toes usually give the largest yield,
but as is the largest crop OF mar
ketable potatoes at a minimum cost
that is desired, it has been
found profitable as a rule, to plant
large. whole potatoes. The more
sprouts there are from q set, the
larger the proportion of small po-
tatoss. The conclusion reached af-
ter many tests is that the most
economical set to use is one with
about three eyes, and good
amount Of flesh. The crop grown
from the seed or rose end of the
pototo will be earlier than that
from the stem end, but there will
be a larger proportion Of unmark-
etable potatoes. Both, however,
shonld be used in planting for the
main crop. A good practice is to
select good, medium to large pota-
toes, true to type; and make four
sets out of the medium sized pota-

Fatal Thanksgiving Day Railroad
Wreck in Virginia

Southern Railway train No. 3
crashed into the rear of train Nc
33 at Lawyers, Va. 10 miles below
Lynchbnrg, at $50 o'clock las
Thursday morning. The en2ln'
split in two the private car of Pres
~ident Samuel Spencer, Of the South
ern Hallway. Mr. Spencer and hl'
guests, Messrs Charles d Fisher
Francis T Redwood, of Baltimore
and Philip Schuyler, of New York
were Instantly killed. d. Watts
DAVIS, a Washinghton telegraph
operator, Engineer c Terry, OF
train No, 81, and two negro port
ers were also killed. Ten others,
nearly all negroes riding in the
combination coach of train No. 81,
were injured.
President Spencer and his party,
so far as is known, were sleeping
when the collision happened, and
the probability is that all Of them.
excepting Dispatcher Davis, were
killed instantly. 1t is certain that
life was extinct before the flames
touched them.
President Spencer's body was
burned almost beyond recognition,
as was that of Dir Fisher. The
body of MIR SCHUYLER was taken
from under the train before it was
burned much, haying been singed
only slightly.
President Spencer was living d.
rectlv under the big locomotive OF
the rear train. So great Was tie
frrce of the impact that the fol-
ward train was sent at least 100
feet ah' a 1.-the locomotive going over
and upon the BODY Of Mr. Spencer.
Until after the debris burned itself
out and the engine cooled off the
bodies could not be removed.
A steamer in the local fire de-
partment was taken to the wreck
and the fire was extinguished BY it..
The impact drove the combina-
ton car forward and the express
car lifted up, together with its
truck, and crushed 40 feet of the
car, leaving the remainder of the
car strewn with tons of baggage
and with the negro passengers,
who were crushed like rats as the
express car crashed into the com bl
nation car. The combination car
did not leave the rails, and in clear
ing the track the express car was
hauled to a siding mile distant
on top and in the debris of the
com bination car. How the negro
passengers in this compartment
the Jim Crow section of the
train-escaped is beyond explana-
ton, BUT not one was killed out
right.
The wreck occurred oil the crest
of steep grade when the Atlanta
train could not have been running
more than 80 miles an hour. if at
so fast speed. Had it been mile
or two farther south, the nun Der
of dead must have been much
greater, as the train was about two
hours behind its schedule an |
would have been running more
than 60 miles an hour.
