Pelsin, China, June 4-The conditions
at Chang Chow, Of which Annoy is the

refugees continue to arrive at Annoy and
numbers Of missionaries Of all denomin-
atoms have reached Swatow. Quiet is
maintained there, though there is great
anxiety as to the outcome Of the re-

rebel leader allows no IoOting and no
foreigners have been melested so far as

The Japanese cruiser Naniva arrived

According to reports, the revolution
lists are numbering the officials, burning
official buildings and occupying towns
and villages. The taotai Of Swallow is
only repoting losses suffered by the
rerolutionists, fearing that the news Of
their dcpTedations would lead to foreign
interference.
In an encounter between imperial
troops and rebels Saturday, midway be-
tween Swallow and Annoy, 700 men were
killed or wounded. After the battle the
rebels retired, probably to resume oper-
ations on the withdrawal of the troops.
The rebels are well organized, but bad

ed TO alfalfa. Observations made By
the New York Cornell station Indicate
that the upland stony and slialy ioam
soils In tile northern two.thirds Of the
state are better suited to alfalfa than
the soils in the southern third, which
are generally compact shay silt and
clay loans with a dense suhsoil. Good
yields Of alfalfa have also been seeur-
ed on graycls and gravelly loans.
Lime Ia the Soil.
The soil should be well supplied with
lime, although applications of this sub

cial, as well as with potash and phos-

full, leading to the conclusion Chat this
method OF incubation when needed
will not fail Of giving results unless
the soil is in such condition that the
bacteria cannot live In It.
The Young Plants.
II is absolutely essential that the
young plants especially should have the
most favorable conditions possible for
growth, for, as G. A. Billings Of the
New Jersey station says:
"The young alfalfa plant Is one Of
the weakest among farm crops. grows
slowly, IS easily checked or Killed by
weeds or BY unfavorable conditions of
the soil, weather or treatment The
seed bed IS therefore OF prime impor-
lance, and the greatest care must be
taken to give the young plants plenty
OF available plant food and best soil
conditions for the first year OF their
growth"
Summer or fail seeding following
thorough tillage often proves preferable
to spring seeding, which is more like
" to be cholIed out by weeds. Some
what heavier seeding -twenty to thirty
pounds per acre than is common IN
the west has generally been found pref
cradle for the eastern states Liberal
applications Of barnyard manure are
especially beneficial to alfalfa. With
early seeding on very weedy land Il
may be beneficial to seed with a nurse
crop. With late seeding the nurse crop
be omitted.

New Fields Fer the Production Of This
Crop Developing.
Celery growing on commercial scale
in this country received special atten-
ton and made Its greatest progress aft.
er the opening and draining OF the.
muck bed areas of the great lake.
region. In Michigan. Ohio and New
York several thousand acres Of celery
are grown annually. In California
and Florida celery growing is now an
important industry. New fields for the
production OF this crop are developing
from time TO time, and celery is now
found in the market throughout almost
the entire year.
Celery growing In Florida and Cali
fornia constitutes a different business
proposition from its culture in the
northern and eastern states. Maturing
as It does IN those warmer climates
between the middle Of December and
April. the crop does not come into COM
petition with that Of the northern and
eastern territory to any extent, but
serves to lehgthen the season Of celery
consumption.
II has not been found profitable in
most localities to store celery for any
great length Of time. 1t being more sat
isfactory TO load 1t into the car direct
from the Geld and place IL upon the
market as rapidly as 1t becomes
blanched. The northern and eastern
states can supply all that is wanted in
a commercial way from early June I'M
III about the list OF January; the Flori-
da and California product comes upon
the market about the last week In De-
ceubef and continues until March or
April. after which time there is not
so great a demand for celery until the
northern crop again comes upon the
market-w, r. Beattie.

The one ever present element OF dan

30 much the numOer Of fighting ships
In our navy that is sending us so
rapidly to the top OF the list, as. the
size and power. The United States
like most foreign nations, has adopted
the policy of building heavier class
of warships, that is, protected by the
heaviest armor plate and equipped
with guns of the greatest destructive
power. This is evidenced by the fact
that of the warshlps now in course OF
construction, seventeen are battle
ships or armored cruisers. and IL is
now proposed to build another battle
ship that will in every equal or out
class the British Dreadnaught. And,
when 1t is taken into consideration
that the battleshlps cost on an aver
age abou SS,O00,000 some idea can be
formed of tho cost Of the United
States navy.
Foreign Participation.
The following foreign nations have
already designated the ships they
Will send and their commanders:
Great Britain.
The English Admiralty has desig-
mated the first division of the ar
mored cruiser squadron as the fleet
to visit the jamestown Exposition.
Rear Admiral Neville will he in com.
mand and the vessels of the squad

Antrim, RoXburgh, Argyle and Devon

Dreadnaught will join tho fleet in

tons displacement and 1450O horse
power, and the Satsuma, 1850 tons
displacement and 20,500 horsepower
will be in this fleet.
Chill.
Chill will send the cruiser Baquen-
dana and Argentina the Buenos
Ayres. The latter has displacement
of $500 tons, is 40S feet long and is
propelled by 1900 horsepower She
has compliment of 424 officers and
men and carries two S-inch, four G..
inch, six 4.7-inch and six Maxim
guns.
Mexico.
Mexico will participate Officially In
the naval features Of the coming
jamestown Exposition by sending to
Hampton Roads in July for n stay OF
ten days or two weeks two Mexican
training ships bearing some 300, or
more young naval officers.
So far as facts Justify an estimate
at present, there will be about one
hundred battleships and armored CRUZ
sers and vessels of other type in
Hampton Roads during the Elk
position, including our own ships
OF the Atlantic squadron, Admiral
Evans in command. This vast array
OF fighting ships is supposed to he
mere when the Exposition opens, but It
Is not possible TO say at this time
Just how long they will remain. The
number, too, may vary slightly from
these figures.
The Grand Piers.
Perhaps the most spectacular fea.
ture of the Governments exhibit will
be the grand piers and enclosed wa
ter basin. for which Congress has ap.
propriated 100000. The main piers
are each 200 feet wide and will ex-
tend out into Hampton Roads for
