Japan Sends Cruiser to China to In.

Toxic, Feb, 29.-The Japanese ar
mored cruiser Idzumi sailed yester-
day from Shanghai for Hongkong
where, it is understood, she will in
vestigate the seizure on February Z
by the Chinese customs cruisers OF
the steamer Tatsu Maru.
This movement is possibly intend
ed as a demonstration against the
Chinese officials, although the for
eign office denies it has such an OBJ
ject in view, adding that negotia-
tions are proceeding at Pekin and
that the Japanese flag has been re-
stored to the Tatsu Maru.
The whole question of the seizure
of the Tatsu Maru, which carried a
cargo of arms and other munitions,
now turns upon the character of the
merchant to whom the arms were
1t is believed that he is
a sympathizer of the revolutionists
in China, for whom the arms were
possibly intended.

Agricultural Club Formed.
BY ]. H. Frandson, Department of Dairying, Idaho
Experiment Station, Moscow.

EXPERIMENT MOSCOW.
A sudden impetus was given the
agricultural interests of the Univer-
sity of Idaho on the 10 of December,
1907 when the students of that de-
partment organized an agricultural
club. 1t consists of students deeply
interested in agriculture, who are
doing. all in their power to build up
a strong agricultural college in the
university. 1t is with a keen sense
of the needs of Idaho that the move
ment is begun. Idaho is one of the
most rapidly growing states of the
union. Over 100000 acres of land
have been added within the last year
or two to the grants covered by the
irrigation companies. This will fur
nish room for thousands of beautiful
homes in the near future. 1t is OBJ
yious that scientific skill will be in
demand under the conditions
brought about by this extended sys-
tenn of intensive farming.
A publication known as the Idaho
Student Farmer will be the clubs
main method of interesting the farm
ers of the state in the work of the
agricultural college, and it is hoped,
by this method to get great many
students from the farms. 1t is prob
ably the only student agricultural
paper published in the colleges Of the
northwest. The first and only num-
ber of the present scholastic kyear
will come out in a week or tensdays.
The people of Idaho should re-
spond with the true spirit of an ener-
getic commonwealth. Send in your
name and address to the Idaho Stu
dent Farmer, University of Idaho,

new MINISTER HERE
Wu Ting Fang Does Not Seek
Our Intervention.
LANDS With LARGE RETIKUt
Admits That There Is Some Friction
With Japan-No Change in
Exclusion Laws.

San Francisco, Feb. 29.-Wu Ting
Fang, for the second time appointed
Chinese minister to this country, ar
rived yesterday on the Pacific mail
| liner Siberia, with a large retinue OF
secretaries and legation and consul
late attaches numbering 70 persons.
He brought with him new consuls for
Mexico, Havana, New York and San
Francisco, besides three nephews and
three secretaries and five other at
taches for the Chinese legation at
Washington and "a young students,
who will enter various schools and
colleges in this country.
At the Pacific mail dock, where
| the Siberia made fast, shortly before
o'clock, large number of Chi
nese from the local colony were on
hand with brass band to greet their
minister. From the dock the minis
ter and his party were taken to the
|Fairmount hotel, where large num-
ber of suites had been reserved.
Minister WI denied the report
that he was the bearer of an appeal
to Washington asking this country
to assist in preserving the interests
of China in Manchuria and protest
ing against the alleged aggrandize
ment of Japan in that Province, but
admitted there was some local fric-
tion.'
He professed to be ignorant about
the Kan Tao boundary dispute be-
tween China and Japan and the ex-
tension of the Hsinmintin-Fukem
railroad, which has caused friction
between the two countries.
Asked whether he would endeavor
to secure some modification of the
exclusion law, Minister WI said that
he had no particular Instructions
from his government with reference
to that.

Vanderbilt Gives Ball in Horse Ring

and group of the hosts friends, who
came from this city. The whole farm
was Illuminated with electric lights
and all of the buildings and the main
house were open for the use of the
guests. In the elaborate scheme Of
decorations, scarlet and white, the
Vanderbilt colors, predominated every
where. The dancing took place in the
trophy room at the end of the big
building, where a special floor had
been laid.
The guests were received by Wander
bilt and Mrs. Reginald C. Vanderbilt.
The cotillon was led by Worthington
Whitehouse.
Vanderbilt had surprise for his
guests in the supper room. The upper
veranda of the show ring was used for
the purpose and it was turned into a
roof garden. There were trellises, with
vines and scarlet and white flowers:
Flower beds had been laid out and
among these the supper tables were
set. The paths between the tables
were graveled and sod-lined, giving
the impression that the supper was
being served in an Italian garden
Three orchestras played in the supper
hour and for the dancing.

THOUGH the finds have never
/ been important enough to tempt
anyone commercially, Manhattan
island is not little of Golconda. In
it's rocks nearly every time big ex-
cavation is made there crop out gems,
oftentime of no small value. Even
gold is to be found under the build
ings and streets of New York, and
diamonds and emeralds are pretty
nearly the only stones of adornment
that have not been discovered.
The gold is not in sufficient guam
titles to make prospecting expedi-
ton worth while, as at best it will not
run over two dollars a ton in value;
but it exists nevertheless. There have
been discovered also nearly 12O dit.
ferent varieties of gems stuck on the
rocky ribs of Manhattan. Garnets take
the lead of all. A few rubies and sap
phires have been found, but they sell
dom are of great value. With garnets,
however, it is quite another thing.
In Twenty-fifth street, near Broad
way, there was discovered, not so very
long ago, one of the most beautiful as
well as one of the largest 'garnets in
the world. 1t was unearthed in the
course of digging sewer. The vi
cinity of Madison square has proved
a fairly rich garnet field, good many
having been brought to light in that
neighborhood. Some old excavators
who have a casual knowledge of min
erals say that it would not be sur
prising If a garnet mine of fair value
might not be some day discovered
