The Chinese reform Edict.

Since the publication of the imperial
edict, which commits the Chinese govern
ment to a undermining policy of the laws,
officials of all classes have taken a hand
in the new movement. Forecasting by lot
any of the temples has been prohibited
by the chief of police of the inner city of
Pekin, and Viceroy Tuan Shir Kai has
stopped the celebration of the Haulu fes-
tival on the ground of extravaganza. The
commission, which recently visited Europe
and America, has asked the empress dow
ager to remove the eunuchs from the pal
ace on account of their evil influence. The
constitutional government is to be estab-
lished as soon as the public mind can be
prepared for it. In the text of the i'm
perial edict occurs the following naive
passages "Since the beginning of our dy-
nasty, there have been wise emperors,
who have made laws suited to the times.
Now that China has intercourse with all
nations, our laws and political system
have become Anticipated, and our country
is always in trouble. Therefore it is
necessary for us to gather more knowledge
and draw up a new code of laws; other
wise we shall be unworthy of the trust of
our forefathers and the people,"

WILL TEST BALLOONS.
EXPERIMENTS TO BE TRIED AT

united States Signal Service Trials
OF Aerial Machines Expected to BE
of Great Interest and VaIue-ShOt
Through Window.

Fort Omaha, Nebraska, is to be the
scene of many interesting balloon expert
ments within the next few months.
French manufacturers have shipped to the
signal corps of the army new spherical
silk balloon, which will be thoroughly
tested at the Nebraska post. The signal
corps already has several old balloons at
Fort Omaha, which are used for expert
mental work. a large quantity of hydro
lite, from which hydrogen is generated by
contact with water, has been purchased
and generating plant will probably be
built at Fort Omaha, which will enable
the signal corps to produce hydrogen
easily. At present hydrogen for expert
mental work is shipped in metal tanks.
Practically all of the experiments of the
signal corps are made with captive bal
looms. Maj. Samuel Reber and Capt.
Charles De f. Chandler, who made bal
loon trip Oct. % with the Aero Club, have
reported to the signal club that their
aerial travel from Pittsfeld Mass, to
Bennington. VT, was highly successful
and will make a report on the trip, which
1t is expected will be of considerable value
to officers interested in ballooning.

FARMERS TO COMBINE
SEEK TO RAISE PRICES OF
WHEAT AND CORN.
Cooperative Business Congress
Plans for Increases on All Farm
Products without Affecting Con-

The Farmers Cooperative Business
congress, with large attendance of dele
gates from the Western and Southern
States, met in Topeka, Kan. c. w.
Peckham of Haven, Kan, president of
the Farmers Elevator Association of
Kansas, speaking of the congress, said:
"Our purpose in calling this kind of
meeting is to more closely unite the aGi-
cultural interests of the West and South.
1t is not our intention to organize trust
of the farmers. 1t has been said that we
purpose to increase the price of wheat
stated amount. This we intend to do,
but not by organizing and demanding that
the consumers pay that for our produce.
If we can sell our products to the South
ern association at higher price than we
receive from the middlemen, and can en-
able the Southern producers to hold their
produce, we will work out plan whereby
the price of farm products will naturally
work higher" G.. S. Barrett of Atwater,
Ga, president of the National Farmers
Union, in an address said I'm the South
we have raised the price of cotton to IL
cents. We have built warehouses and
hold our cotton till the price is right.
We gin our own cotton, and have cotton
mills, wooden mills and canneries, all
owned by the farmers. The farmers in
the North can do the same with their
crops"

Building the Highest Bridge.

The American Inventor says that work
is now in progress on suspension bridge
over the famous Royal gorge of the
Arkansas river, in Colorado, at a point
where the channel is only 30 feet wide at
the bottom and go feet wide at the top.
This bridge will span the river 267 feet
above the surface of the water, and will
be, therefore, by far the highest bridge in
the world. The material will be of fat
steel and steel cables, the curved Orders
finding secure attachment in the solid
sides of the canyon. The floor of the
bridge will be of plate glass IL inches
thick, to afford visitors the pleasure of
looking down the chasm. On each side
will be strong, high steel ratings. The
bridge is part of an electric railway
scheme, and cars from Canyon City and
Florence will run over it. The Denver
and Rio Grande tracks are at the bottom
of the gorge.

STORM SWEEPS THE WEST.
Great Property Damage and Suffer-
ing Caused.

Scores of sheep herders. cattlemen
and farmers were caught in the worst
Billiards that have swept over the
Rocky mountain region in years. and
it is feared there has been great loss of
life. 1t is known thousands of sheep
and cattle have persisted. The storm
ragged in Colorado, Wyoming, New Mex

resulted in Las Vegas, Socorro, Albu-
querque and the smaller towns of New
Mexico.
The Union Pacific Railway officials
carried on desperate fight to keep the
line clear from Cheyenne, Wyo.. to Salt
Lake. West of Green River, Wyo., the
road was so blockaded that the officials
could not tell when the trains would be
able to make their way through the
mountainous drifts of snow.
In Utah the snow was swept along
by a hurricane that did great damage
in Salt Lake City. In addition to loss
of life, property over a wide area was
devastated. Fire famed by the gale
wiped out the new plant of the Utah
Packing Company and damage of $3.50,
coo resulted. The packing plant had
just been completed at a cost of $780,
GOO and was to have been put in use

killed by flying plank.
In the storm which swept over the
entire Republic of Salvador 100 per-
sons were drowned in Coatepeque alone.
A vast quantity of sulphur water was
thrown out of the Chulo volcano, inun-

killing most of the inhabitants. From
other points similar reports of horrible
devastation are received. The schooner
AXelene with a number of passengers
on board was lost. Pimineto and other
towns have been swept away by the
floods and scores of bodies were car
ried down the streams.

Riots Ston French Races

The throng of spectators at the Long
champs course near Paris, last Sunday,
was thrown into a panic by a riot in the
betting ring, which eliminated in the
burning of the booths and the calling out
of soldiers and fremen to save property
and restore order. The rioters retreated
when the soldiers arrived, but much dam
age had already been done. The disturb
ance was brought about by a bad start
in the free handicap which left the favor
lite and three other horses at the post
and enabled an outsider to win the race.
The government next day took cognizance
of the riot by announcing that there
would be no more racing this season.

When Burton, at that time a United

victed of the crime of using his official
station to make money unlawfully, it was
said that he would never be punished for
his offense He himself believed it would
be possible to obtain immunity for his
acts and that the humiliation and discom-
fort of serving a term in prison would
not be his. Immediately after his con-
viction an appeal was made to the higher
courts and it went as far as the United
States Supreme Court. 1t had the effect
of delaying his punishment, but the Su
preme Court denied his petition for re-
hearing in the case, and the ex-senator
has begun his term in the little prison.

1t is found that negroes are far more
susceptible than whites, and that the
class designated as houseworkers has the
greatest number of victims. The negroes
are particularly dangerous to the commu-
nifty because they constitute the servant
class and are brought into intimate asso-

rule there is close association between
