San Antonio, Tex, June 19.-With
every condition favoring it and with
an enthusiastic populist to encourage
it, the Negroes of this city celebrated
their forty-sixth anniversary of the
Emancipation Proclamation. The ce-
LIBERATION was held at the grounds of
the San Antonio and the Information
al Fair Association in close proximi-
ty to the famous Hot Sulphur Wells,
one of the best known resorts in
Texas. The 10Th of June in Texas
is equal to national holiday 1t
was on this day forty-siX years ago
that General Granger landed at Gal
weston, Texas, to enforce the procla-
nation that had been issued by Abra-
ham Lincoln, freeing all the slaves.
Ever since that time, Texans at every
/ cross road, in every hamlet, village,
town and city, within the confines of
the Lone Star State, have celebrated
/ this day. This city has had the dis
/ tinction of carrying out the most stu
pendous Of all the celebrations in the
state, and this year is not an excep-
tion
ever witnessed took place to-day,
when the famous Knight U. S. Cal
vary Band led the parade that start
ed at the corner of North Center
street, under the head of Grand Mar
shal James H. Holt and his aides,
with police escorts, proceeding down
East Crockett to Alamo Plaza, where
stands the cradle of Texas liberty.
Decorations in national colors were
in evidence throughout the line of
march which move dfrom Alamo
Plaza to Houston street, west on
Houston to Santa Rosa avenue,
thence West Commerce street east
to Navarro, south on Navarro street
to Bowens Island, one of the most
beautiful spots in San Antonio, where
the parade disbanded to take special
cars for the fair grounds.
When the park was reached, and
= while enthusiasm was still at its
| leight, the master of ceremonies, Mr.
Jesse Milton Bumbrey, in an eloquent
f way, gave a short sketch of what the

THRONE IS DOOMED
TANG sHAo VI, cHINA's IMPERIAL
LEGATE, SAYS ONLY REPUBLIC
WILL SATISFY PEOPLE.
SEES END OF THE DYNASTY
ConsuIs of Six Foreign Powers Pre-
sent Note to Peace Conference at
Shanghai Urging Close of ReVou-
tion--Scene Is Impressive.

Shanghai. II am convinced
that the abdication of the emperor
and the establishment of a republic
is the only thing that will satisfy the
people of China and prevent further
wholesale shedding of blood" This
statement was made by Tank Shao-Yi,
representative of Yuan Shi Kai, the
premier, after the session of the peace
conference.
Picking is not aware of the depth
or extent Of popular feeling in the
SOUTH" said he. Even l, although
somewhat prepared, am astonished to
find such change from an attitude of
patient forbearance to dogged patri-
otic determination. 1t now appears
certainly too late to save the dynasty
ut will be difficult to persuade Yuan
Shi Kai to abandon his plan for linn
tied monarchy, but we must use every
endeavor to bring about peace and
end this awful bloodshed and the suf-
fering among my people"
Tang Shao-Yi expressed the belief
that the situation might have been
saved at one time by a conference
with the revolutionary leaders and
prompt assurance of adjustment Of
wrongs, but he considers it now too
late. He is also convinced that there
must be no foreign interference in the
way Of loans or otherwise.
The note from the foreign powers,
comprising the United States. Great
Britain. Japan, Germany. France and
Russia. was presented to the repre-
sentatives of the imperial Chinese
government and the revolutionists by
the consular corps. The consuls drove
first in an imposing carriage to the
house of Tang Shao vi and then to
the residence of WI Ting Fang The
scene was very impressive as the note
was read separately to the two lead
ing figures in the negotiations and the
reply of each, indicating that peace
was uppermost. was heard.

Napoleon's Model Library.

In view of the recent talk about
limiting the size of libraries by de-
stroying the rubbish. II is interesting
to remember that Napoleon once tried
to make a list OF all the books In the
world which were worth preserving.
He believed when he sat down to his
task that a thousand volumes would
suffice; but the list grew under his
hands and ultimately included three
thousand volumes. Even so, however.
there were omissions of which Lord
Roseber. and Mr.. Edmund Gosse. as
we'll as the general reader, would have
been likely to complain. When the
emperor came to look over his first
list, he found that he had unaccount-
ably left out the Bible. In his second
list he forgot to mention not only
Virgil anG Shakespeare but--very
curiously-Moliere.

Fighting At Tabriz-HeaVy
Losses Reported.

St. Petersburg, Russia.-Persia has

the Russian ultimatum, including the
dismissal of w. Morgan Shuster, the

foreign office was officially notified of
this decision by the charge d'affairs
who had an audience with M. Sason-

The fighting at Tabriz was more
severe than at first reported. The
battle was waged in the streets all
day, resulting in heavy losses on both
sides and much damage to property.
The historic old citadel was lombard

Another battle was fought at Resht,
sixteen miles northwest of Enzeli, on
the Caspian sea, where the Cossacks
drove the Persians out of their posi-

LETHBRIDGE, ALBERTA,
SECURES DRY FARM
ING CONGRESS
FOR 1912.

The term, "dry farming" does not
indicate all that might be implied It
does not mean system OF irrigation.
but one where all the rain fall and
precipitation is stored up and con-
served in the soil, to be drawn upon
by scientific and sane processes when
it may be required to forward and in
crease the growth of grain.
In certain sections Of the Canadian
West as well as in the American
West, there is a portion of the coun-
try in which the soil is the very best
for the growing of cereals, but the
geographical locations and relative
position to the rain avenues, do not
give the advantage that other parts
possess in the matter Of precipitation
Agricultural science. however, has
been making rapid progress during
the past few years, and 1t is now as
certained that 1t is not altogether the
number of inches Of rain that is es-
sential to the growing of crops, but
its conservation, and that is the
meaning of "Dry farming" DRY
Farming" may well be applied to dis
tricts where there is heavy rain fall
and better results will follow. The
education of the public into these new
methods, not new exactly, but such
as have had satisfactory demonstra-
tion, is not alone the purpose Of these
dry-farming Congresses. One idea Is
to bring into life and into operation
the great areas of splendid land lying
within what might be termed semi
arid, without placing them under the
restrictive and expansive process Of
irrigation.
The Congresses are attended by
thousands and they bring representa-
tives from all parts of the world. The
Province of Alberta, and also Of Sas-
katchewan, has taken vital interest
in the Congresses which have been
held in the past two or three years.
The Province Of Alberta has made
provincial exhibits, districts have
shown their products, and last year,
several hundred dollars were taken in
prizes; this year the Province of AL
berta took prizes ten to one In excess
of any state in the Union. Alberta
has won eight out Of twenty special
cups, that province taking one, Leth-
bridge one, Arthur Perry six, and
John Baxter, Edmonton, carrying Off
one sweepstakes. When it came to
a matter of location for the Congress
for 1912, the City of Lethbridge,
which had put up splendid fight for
it, secured the Congress by unani-
nous vote. 1t is expected that the
Lethbridge Congress will be the larg-
est yet held and will be the biggest
convention in the history OF Western
Canada. In emphasizing his invita-
tion to- Lethbridge, one Of the speak
ers said he had just received tele-
gram from Magrath (near Lethbridge)
stating that of one thousand acres Of
wheat just thrashed Hethershaw and
Bradshaw had thrashed $4,000 bush
els.
Literature sent out recently by the
Canadian Government Agents, which
will be sent postage free on applica-
tion, tells of hundreds of splendid
yields in all parts Of Western Canada.
