MANY WORDS ON A POSTAL
New Record of Microscopic writing
Established by n Brook
Ign Man.

A record for fine writing with a pen has
just been established by A. ]. Farwell, a
craftsman Of 142 Henry street, Brooklyn,
N. Y, who in a local contest wrote 1910
words, using 22S lines, on the back of an
ordinary postal card. More than 100 other
contestants tried their skill in the same
contest, and second honors fell to James
F.. Lally, a hardware clerk OF Greenwich,
with about a third as many words.
Mr.. Farwell had previously entered two
similar contests, missing first prize each
time by a small margin. Learning OF an
other contest advertised in the Greenwich
News, he challenged the two previous win
ners, and sent them each a duplicate pen
and some of the ink he was himself using,
in order that the contest might be a per-
fectly fair one. Then he set to work tran
scribing over and over again the advertised

CINCINNATI, o., June 4.-The National
league base ball magnates will meet in the
Sinton hotel here this afternoon to con-
slider the question of recalling Harry
Pulliam into active duty as president of
the National league. From present appear
ances a warm time is due.
One faction favors Immediately deposing
Pulliam, while President Hermann Of the
Cincinnati team and President Dewey of the
Boston club are said to be standing by
Pulliam and will fight to the last to keep
him in his position. Another element Is
in favor of putting the matter to a test
by recalling Pulliam to the chair and II
his health is such that he is not yet able
to perform the duties of the office, then to
replace him with another man.
Pulliam's friends say he has been In
Oshkosh, Wis, some time, visiting a
brother and that he is in good health,
having fully recovered from his nervous
breakdown Of several months afo.
The National league directors are this
morning considering the protest OF two

ountin the Queues.

The State department at Washing
ton has received official notice of an
edict just issued by the Chinese en-
peror calling for a census of the
swarming hordes of China next year.
Couched in the towering verbosity pc
culiar to the ~orientals, the edict lays
down a set of rules for taking the CEN
sus which are clearly modelled after
the pattern employed by our ensus
bureau. Coupled with 1t is a thesis
on the importance to the Chinese of
accurate information concerning their
numerical strength and their potential
power for good In the progress of the
world.
The edict is significant to the ex-
tent hat it is another indication Of
China's awakening and the desire of
it's rulers to adopt the methods of
more progressive nations in many
ways. In a general way, however, the
rest of the world will be interested in
having a reliable answer to the much
disputed question concerning the real
population of the big empire. The
school biographies and histories of
our earlier days carried the statements
that China was the most populous Ia
ton in the world and later writer's
and historians have generally agreed
that China has about 400, 00O, 900 in
habitants. This estimate has been
criticised by other experts, who place
the figure at not more than 900, OOO,-
900. If the proposed census is &C
curately taken, it will at least solve
this long-standing puzzle better than
these guesses.

Brazil,s Wheat Subsidy.

Brazilian authorities, not content to
buy the foodstuffs of the country from
other nations, are accordingly prepar-
ing to hold out the most liberal in
ducements to agriculturists to carry on
experiments in wheat raising, even to
the point of offering large subsidies to
encourage efforts to grow wheat In the
tropical zone, where Brazil's best soil
is located.
As explained by Consul General An
derson, writing from Rio de \Janeiro,
under the plan proposed syndicates
that undertake to plant 500 acres of
wheat, under expert direction, whose
expense is borne by the government,
will receive an annual bounty of
$4,000, or about 80 an acre annually
for a ~1ve-year term. This bonus will
total much more than the value of the
raw land. The government shows its
further liberality by offering a bonus
of $4,000 annually for each concern
or individual that maintains a Touring
mill of stated capacity.
Attractive as the subsidy appears,
Consul Anderson predicts that the ex-
pertinent will be a failure. The gov
eminent has been making tests for
several years, but has not yet been
liable to- produce a wheat that will grow
in the tropic climate OF Brazil, al
though some varieties of wheat are
grown in the southern (colder) por-
tions of the country. Government en-
couragement and experimentation may
work out varieties of wheat that will
grow well in the tropics, but it is very
doubtful II the amount of wheat to
be produced will interfere with Bra
zll's heavy importations of wheat and
-four from the United States.

An Important Decision.

An important principle of trans
portation is involved in the decision
by the Interstate Commerce commits
sion granting Milwaukee the same
rates on grain that are given to Chi
cago. The question has been before
the commission in a number Of cases
and the decision just rendered is the
first clear-cut expression of the com
mission on the principle involved,
which is that a railroad has no right
to dictate where commodities shall be
shipped or that to get a preferred rate
the commodities shall be continued
on the line OF the transportation COM
pany that first received the shipment.
In the case or hearing, the railroads
commended that because Chicago af-
forded as good a wheat market as Mil
waukee they we're not obliged to give
an equal rate to Milwaukee, which was
not on their lines, claiming hat the
low rate was on consideration of
through shipment. This contention is
set aside by the commission on the
principle that common carriers must
freely interchange business to fulfill
their obligations to the public. The
termini named being competitive
points, the rates to M must be the
same as to the other. regardless of the
lines used In reaching either.
Conflicts similar to this have arisen
in different parts Of the country and
the decision Of the Interstate Com
merce commissions ruling becomes
important in that 1t sustains the con-
tention OF shippers for the %transporta-
ton Of commodities between points of
the same distance, involving II neces-
sary an interchange between railroads
without the imposition of a discrim-
mating or additional burdeusome rate.
