A Successful Granne Store

1t is generally recognized through
out the east that the Houlton (Me)
grange has gone little further in the
matter of successful cooperation than
any group of farmers in New England
For several years the farm members
Of that grange have been doing very
commendable work along cooperative
lines. In this connection it is inter
esting to note the financial statement
of the grange store, made July II
last. 1t will be recalled that this
store is only one Of the several enter
prises in which Houlton grange is in
terested. The report in question shows
total assets of $19,7S1. This is inven-
toried as follows: Goods on hand, $12,-
9S6; cash on hand, $6,2S9; due from
wool, $500, and due from grange, 81.
The liabilities approximate S14,756,
leaving an excess of assets over liabil-
tiles of $5,025. This is a net increase
for six months of over $1,000.

grange gets the notion that It will petl-
ton the state grange to have the year
ly dues reduced. The lecturer of the
Ohio state grange gives a wise answer
to a questioner who asks If the pres
ent is not good time to reduce grange
dues. He replies that if it is not worth
10 cents a month to be a member of
the grange, with all its benefits, par
ticularly those derived through state
and national legislation in the farm
ers' interest, then it is worth nothing.
True enough!

Peking, March 26.-China is not
prepared to antagonize Russia COM
pletely and as a result of prolonged
conferences the Chinese foreign Of
flee today assured the Russian min
lister, M. Korostoff, that China will ac-
quesce unreservedly to the demands
made in the Russian ultlmatum con-
cerning the provisions of the treaty
OF 1891. Russia insisted upon an an
swer before Tuesday.
1t Is generally considered that there
was no alternative course. in view of
China's utter unpreparedness for war.
Intense interest Is being manifested in
the attitude of Japan. which Is OBJ
Nlously holding entirely aloof, al
though more powerful than ever at
Picking.
While the issues between China and
Russia have been almost obliterated
by the recent series of ultimatums
and theoretically insufficient cause for
occupation exists, Russia apparently
feels that she could obtain only paper
promises which the Chinese would
not observe unless intimidated. Rus
slams here point out that they have
less now in the way of concessions
from China than when the treaty was
signed.
Some sections of the legation quar-
ter ridicule Russia for not following
in the first instance the recent ex-
ample set by Great Britain in occupy
ing territory and and awaiting Chi
nese readiness to discuss the contest
ed points. But 1t is recognized that
Russia, by failing to do this, has
shown that she does not possess ag-
gressive designs.
The Chinese newspapers, which are
intensely ignorant of foreign affairs,
are hostile to Great Britain, which
they accuse of beginning the present
land grab, and they prophecy that
both France and Japan will not be
long in following suit.
Reports from Harbin say the Rus
sian railway has refused to transport
several carloads of arms and ammu>
milton destined for Chinese garrsons
on the frontier. From elsewhere In
Manchuria come indications of Jap
anese readiness to invest South Man
churia should Russians In the north
assume serious aspect.
In recent issue the Peking Daily
News, IN an editorial evidently in
spired by the Chinese foreign board
declared that China would not sub
NIT to the so-called aggressions of va
rious powers, and that she would not
sign away her national rights. which
must be taken from her. Whether this
was only threat intended to assist
China's diplomacy tomorrow should
show.

ABLE TO SWING REFORMS
New Cabinet, So Far as An

dictionary and Entirely Un-
friendly to Madero.
my Morning Journal Special Leased wire,


FL Paso. Tex, March z6.-on in
timations direct from Francisco /.
Madero, 1t is given out in insurreoto
circles here today that the selection
of President Diaz' cabinet insofar as
IL has been announced. is regarded
as entirely unfriendly To the reforms
for which the Mexican insurrection Is
being waged and as cure the war
probably will go on unnterruptedly.
II is pointed out that among the men
selected for the cabinet, none is dis
tinguished for any activity in the re-
form movement for which Madero is
in arms.
A rather nessimistic view is taken
by the iunta here, although hope for
the institution OF great reforms, such
as the removal Of many of the gov
ernors OF states and the division of
extensive land holdings, has not en-
tirely been abandoned. The promise
of Jose Yves Limantour of "an en-
tire change OF politics i'm Mexico"
given to the revolutionary agents In
New York Is still looked TO by the
| insurrectos. Gonzales Garza the in
surrecto secretary OF state. in direct
| correspondence with Madero, the So
called revolutionary president said
today that he did not believe the
promise by Limantour referred only
to a change in the cabinet. Senior liz
mantour by meeting the insurrecto
agents and quoted as saying their de-
mands had some reasonable founda-
tion Is regarded as the chief friend
of insurrectos now in Mexico City.
| Whatever he does, the insurrectos as
sert. will be in an effort to bring
about peace as soon as possible. Yet
| II Is known that Senior Limantour does
not sympathize with the demand that
Diaz shall retire, and that any peace
negotiations shall be conducted un-
der an armed truce. Senor Cara and
other insurrecto leaders therefore
give II as their belief that an imme-
diate termination OF the war Is not
probable.
Senior Braulio Hernandez, the In
surrecto secretary of state, state of
| Chihuahua left for Ojinaga. Mex.
which is reported to be besleged by

Francisco 7. Madero, Sr.. the fnther,
and Gustavo A. Madero, n brother of

are merely going to San Antonio to

developments at Mexico City.
