TREES IN MEXICO

The otton-growing tree in the re-
public of Mexico has been experiment.
ed on. and from all the reports given
out the results have been very graft
flying, and in fact really astounding
The Mexican government has had
charge of the experiment and the large
cotton lands of Hilario Cuevas, of
Jalisco, were used for the tests. About
FIVE years ago Senior Cuevas discovered
the tree growing in the wilds of his
plantation, and, thinking the idea
worth while, planted some of the seeds
on his cotton producing lands. Within
few years, and at very early age,
the trees began bearing. The growth
was rapid, and now he has several hun
bred acres of land under cultivation.
Many of the trees are growing cotton
and the crop amounted to several hun
bred bales this year. The cotton is not
unlike that produced by the cotton plant
of the South. except that it has longer
fibre and is of a higher grade than the
ordinary cotton.
The trees grow readily from the seed,
and Senior Cuevas has given away ten
Of these wonderful seeds TO
planters in his State. One tree pro-
duees from 200 to 800 pounds of cotton
each year, and twenty trees can De

CAN'T AFFORD QUARREL,
SAYS CAPT. HObSON

PITTSBURG, April 6. = Captain
Richmond Pearson Hobson, hero of
the Merrimac. who is in Pittsburg to
lecture tonight. this afternoon said:
We can not afford to quarrel with
Japan until we strengthen our Pa
cific Coast defenses. The japanese
know how weak are our Pacific de-
lenses. and they are making capital
of it by making matters hard for the
people of California, which are unfor
tunately so situated that they get the
major part of the japanese off-scour
ings. There are many japanese in
California who own property, which is
unfortunate.
They are certainly not desirable
citizens, as the people of California
have found to their sorrow. We should
either exclude or segregate Them

SUGAR INDUSTRY IN FoRMosA.

Japan Notwithstanding to a tele-
gram from Formosa, the sugar indus
try in the island is in a prosperous
condition. Many factories conducted
on the new manufacturing system and
of small, simpler scale are being es-
tablished. The COMPRISING power of
those new factories only will reach
1000 tons per diem. Progressing at
this Nate the total yield for the year
is estimated to exceed 80. 100000 yen.
OF many other companies the Taiwan
Seito kafsha and the Tainan Seito
Kaisha are known to be closely re-
lated with each other, and the talk
of an1alganation has been proposed
many times between the concerns. The
question will probably be submitted to
the general meeting on the close of
the term.

Berlin, June 1.-Official circles are
aroused at the charges made by
American senators that the German
government has been supplying sta
tistics on German trade conditions
calculated to influence American ta-
riff legislation. 1t is charged that
statistics on German wages show
them to be higher than in America
and German trade journals allege the
interior department has been giving
away trade secrets with the result
that the American tariff will be ad.
iusted in such a manner as to pre-
