fected by famine in Kiang Su and
Anhui provinces, and that children
are being sold for food by famishing
thousands are made here today by
missionaries, who have just arrived
from the stricken region.
Tales of shocking conditions in
the famine country are told by the
missionaries, and many of the de-
tails are unprintable. Two hundred
thousand families, they say, are with
out food, shelter or clothing, and in
the rural districts the unburied dead
line the roadways and famine, fever
and loathsome diseases are decimat-
ing the gaunt and starving victims.
The famine is due to the flood of
the Kwai river, which destroyed all
the crops in the region, which is al
most inaccessible to relief. Thou
sands of the inhabitants are migrat-
ing to the south and spread of the
pestilence, which has gripped the
fever victims, is feared throughout
the sections to which they are flee
ing.
Foreign subscriptions in aid of the
famine sufferers are being expended
by relief committees here and in
Shanghai, but the money thus far re-
cieved is only drop in the bucket
to what is needed.
The government is doing what it
can to meet the situation, but its
available funds are limited and the
only sustenance the refugees are re-
ceiving consists of rice cruel, barely
sufficient to keep them alive.

Ell Paso, Tex, Feb. "A rebel at
tack on Jaurez, Mex, began today.
Five hundred Mexican cavalry and
infantry are engaging the advance
guard of 1000 rebels under General
Pascal Orozco, whose soldiers are on
the advance between Jaurez and Sam
alayuca.
Evidences that the first clash Of
the forces was bloody one are seen
today in the long line of riderless
horses with bloodstained saddles
which are stampeding across the
border into American territory.
Orzoco's force reached Samalayu-

trained there, retaining two engines
and enough cars to convey them to-
ward Jaurez.

and gave the alarm, after they had

Battle Is Desperate.

The desperate nature of the battle
which has been in progress since the
forces clashed Is indicated by the
fact that of ia Mexican infantry
men which left Jaurez this morning
only 6S had returned at 10 o'clock
Four of the contingent, badly wound
ed, arrived on a handcar. Two sol
diers are known to have been killed
by the rebel fire, and 1t is, at this
hour, unknown how many others
have fallen
There is every evidence from the
reports of the returning soldiers that
the rebels are winning.

approach of real fighting, is under
martial law, and the street cars CON-

THE ARBITRATION TREATY.

The opposition shown to the arbitra- tion treaty with Great Britain was surprising, because the purpose of it is 10 reduce the prospects of war to the minimum. There was not enough op- position to prevent it's ratification and England and France having agreed to it we are now on rather more secure relations with both, although our rela- tions were pleasant enough before.
 This treaty is not expected to make an end to war, but it is a step toward permanent peace, and should Germany join, as she seems anxious to, it ought 10 have d good influence upon the lesser nations
 This treaty gives opportunity for the discussion of issues which were fought over first and discussed afterwards and it may lead to a better under standing between the nations and a lessening of the military competition which is making armies and navies larger the world over and increasing the burden of taxation upon the peo- pie.
 This is the way to universal peace : and may it be honestly followed until distrust and dishonor are forced into retirement.

A NEW uNwRiTTEN LAW.

A coroner's jury recently exonerated a woman who killed her drunken hus- band because of his violent abuse, and the danger to her own life, and this seems to be an improvement up- on the unwritten law claimed for the Thaws and other assassins.
 The Kansas City Journal. comment ing upon this action of an American jury says:
 "The San Francisco jury's attitude is particularly interesting by way of contrast with that of the Canadian jury which recently condemned to death woman who killed her hus- band because he was continually seeking to force her into a life of dishonor The protest of the woman ,cood. of practically the whole world secured only a commutation of the sentence to life imprisonment. * If the new 'unwritten law enacted by precedent for the protection of wives who kill their cruel and beastly hus- bands is ever justified, it would seem to be in such a case as that in Canada which for so many weeks engaged the sympathetic attention of the world. It is safe to venture that an American jury would have found eXtenuating circumstances, or would have stretched
 
 the elastic theory of insanity to the cracking point, before wife would be condemned to be hanged for killing the brute who sought to make her sell her honor.
 ''The 'unwritten law must be con demned, but with some recommends tions to mercy until it is supplanted by conditions or statutes which will infIict greater punishment apon men who drive wives to desperation by intolerable abuse"
 When men guilty of manslaughter may escape with three years impris onment it is a disgrace that a woman like this Italian woman in Canada should be made a life prisoner. The world would applaud were she given a gold watch at the end of three years and sent home to care for her chill dren.

TO BE MADE INTERESTING FOR
 FARMERS,

The New England Industrial and Educa tional exposition, to be held in Boston this fall. will have special fea- lures to interest and edify the farm CTS.
 Intensive farming is to be illustrated On the second floor of Mechanics hall will be shown a full-size cement COW barn, with feed rooms, bull pen, calv- ing pens, etc. Cows of the finest breed obtainable will occupy the improved stanchions. Modern watering and feeding systems will be installed and an up to date sanitary system shown.
 Attached will be model dairy, fully equipped with milk room, wash room. churns, separators, etc. showing how milk and it's products may be handled under absolutely faultless conditions.
 A modern shed, 120 feet long, will demonstrate the best method of hous- ing the modern farm machinery and utensils which will be installed. There will be model stalls occupied by fine farm horses. Growing farm produce will illustrate the forcing method of planting and cultivating.
 A section devoted to apple culture will show trees infected by different kinds of scale, and the treatment. Hot houses, poultry houses, incubators and breeders, pig-sties, and other features of the modern farm will also be in cluded.
 Another agricultural feature will be the New England fruit show, which will be held in Horticultural hall dur ing the final week of the exposition. The fruit show. which was conducted so successfully two years ago by a committee of men from the various New England states, has this year been taken over by the Boston cham Der of commerce, which was active in promoting the first show.

ALF-HUNDRED NEW CON.
 GRESSMEN,

The new apportionment bill which has just passed congress will add about fifty new members to the lower house and add to the annual expense s4OO,- 900. The close caIcu1ators are wonder ing what the country is going to get for it's money. If no higher standard of statesmanship is to be attained the increase simply means greater dis appointment on the part of the people. since nothing different from what has been is to be expected, except, possi- ply, fewer real achievements in behalf of the masses.
 The Toledo Blade. considering the increase of members, says:
 The great movement toward direct legislation gains it's impetus in the failure of representative government to represent We do not believe thai the most enthusiastic advocates of the initiative and referendum, the recall and other policies of the sort are, in their hearts, convinced that represen- tative government is impossible. They have been led into their advocacy of the newer schemes through noting that men in office are seduced by money, flattery and the love of power. They condemn the system because the aver age of intelligence and character of the men conducting the system is low. They bring charges against the state because the electorate has used poor Judgment al the polls. They cry for a new outfit of administrative and legislative machinery because the me chanics now in charge prove them selves incapable of running it prop erly"
 The Blade does not believe this en- largement is in the interest of the people, or that it will improve mat ters, since it appears to be lending pnWer f0 the euetpv
