New and psrplsx;na Phase.


Picking, China, Jan. <23.-Premier
Yuan Shi Kai's efforts to bring about
the abdicatton Of the throne have
failed, and the situation, in China has
entered new and perplexing phase.
Prince Ching, the former premier,
Prince Pu Lun. former president Of the
national assembly, and Prince Tsai
Sum. brother Of the former regent. abb
sented themselves from the conference
Of princes Of the imperial clan yester-
day, which left the decision as to alb
dication to the reactionaries, who have
been strengthening their hand steadily
since the premier permitted the proba-
bility Of abdication to become known.
Ediet Had Been Drafted.
Apparently. preparations were COM
rlete for provisional government: an
abdication eiict had even been drafted,
hut the announcement that such a
course was contemplated. which had
been allowed to become public with
the evident object Of preparing the
Manchu troops against the shock. In
spired clansmeii Of all degrees to re-.
sist.
The empress dowager. being refuc-
tant to abdicate, has accepted the ad.
matter Of appointing Yin Tchang. for
mer war minister. Of 'Tieh Liang. for
mer Tartar general at Marking. to re-
place Yuan Shi Kali wds discussed but
the argument prevailed that the nine..
teen articles Of the constitution pro.
mulgated by the national assembly last
November should be observed.

obvious. He has held special trains
but now that the Manchus have ac-
cepted his challenge he remains ih
Peking. He has asked for further So
called sick-leave, indicating that he
has no intention Of relinquishing the
premiership.
Many missionaries In the northern
provinces strongly resent the attitude
cf the missionaries Id Shanghai wins
are publicly supporting the revolutioh.
Bishop Bashford. Of the Methodist
Episcopal mission and other prominent
American missionaries have expressed
to the Washington administration the
view that republic Is inevitable, while
another group, almost entirely Ameri-
cans. have telegraphed to the Empress
Dowager and the leading princess ask
ing them to abdicate. ~
The American legation approves Of
the opinions expressed in the following
letter addressed to the legation from
a mission in Chilli: ~
Missionary Activity Condemned. :.
I'VE strongly disapprove Of mission
aries becoming politicAl advisers and
placing themselves on the side Of the
revolutionaries. 1t Is a menace to us
who remain In the northern interior
The act Of the missionaries in Shang
hal signing such kilograms and widel 2
publishing them brands the mission
ary body as revolutionary ana might
mean our being wiped out at any time :"
The imperiali ~. already suspect that
the missions. especially the American
missions, are inculcatinS revolutionery
ideas. The American minister, MI.
Calhoun, has endeavored repeatedly to
persuade all the missionaries to leave
the interior, but many Of them. particu-
larlv the medical missionaries. feel that
their duty requires them to remain.

Great corn-Growina Contest.

In an article in the current issue
Of Farm and Fireside appears an in
teresting account of a corn-groWine
contest that is being held in North
Carolina, in which state, by the
way, the corn crop has doubled in
the last three years. Last year s
champion is a young man named
Parker, who got a yield of 235 bush
els per acre. James F. Bolts is an
other expert. When it is consid.
cred that thirty bushels of corn per
acre is a fair yield, the following
extract from the article is signifi-
cant:
thousands Of North Carolina men
and boys are competitors in this
years contests. Bolts is again in
the race. Last year on forty acres
he got an average of 1873 bushels.
He intended to dynamite his land
last November, but did not do SO I'M
til the middle of March. He used
eight-ounce charges, twenty-five per
cent strength, planted forty-tWo
inches deep and twelve feet apart.
This thoroughly pulverized the
ground to a depth Of four feet. His
corn, of his one type, Bolts Prolific,
was planted April 9. A photograph
made of this test acre exactly sixty
days later shows remarkable growth.
On the sixth day of July this corn
was ten feet high, and was silking
and tasseling, giving wonderful prom
ise of a crop. It is planted in rows
four and one-haf feet apart, and
from eight to ten inches in the drill,
whereas in 1909 the rows were only
forty-tWo inches apart. The number
Of stalks was then estimated at H.
600. this year it is about $4,000. It
remains to be seen how the yields
will compare, as this season the
stalks are larger and better cared
than they were three years ago. For
three weeks up to July. s the weather
was quite dry, but this corn, then
planted, did not show any lack OF
moisture and made a far finer show
ing than thirty acres in field ad-
joining.
ssThe interest in this test expert
mant is great, and farmers, both men
and boys, are going to see the corn
from far and near, State officials
and officers of the Agricultural De
partment are this year to measure
the crop and verify the acre on
which it is grown.

THE END OF TUBERCULOSIS
Civic Loss Through School
Sickness.

By DR. LEONARD P. AYRES.
Figures from Germany, Eng
land, Sweden and seven Ameri-
can cities indicate that in the
average city school system the
children who are in need of such
treatment as that afforded by the
open air schools constitute from
3 to 5 per cent of the entire
school membership. This means
that Albany, for example, should
have open air schools in suffi-
cient numbers to care for 300
children, while New York city
needs accommodations for 10000.
When such figures as these are
mentioned the objection of ex-
pense looms high at once, but 1t
must not be forgotten when we
are considering expense that a
thousand children of school age
die each year Of tuberculosis in
New York city. On the average
they have each had about six
years Of schooling. for which the
city has paid about $3.50. This
means a quarter of a million dol
lars loss each year In the great
city in money expended on edu-
eating children who die Of tuber-
culosis before growing up. A
quarter Of a million dollars a
year spent in open air schools
designed to prevent this fright
full waste would go far toward
meeting the entire expense.
