VALUE OF GINSENG CROP.
Department Of Agriculture Advise.
Against "Plunging."

Ginseng. for which practically the only
market IL In China, where it is valued as
a medicinal drug. has been shipped from
the United States to the orient at the
rate Of about 10000 pounds, valued at
more than sl,Oo0OOO. a year during the
past ten years. according to q report Just
issued by the Department Of Agriculture.
On account Of the limited market and
the fact that 700 acres. this area allow
ing for the seven years required for ma
turity Of the root would raise all that is
needed. DR.. Walter Van Fleet of the de-
partment's drug plant Investigation d.
vision advises against "plunging" in gin
seng.
Ginseng" he says offers attractive
possibilities to patient cultivators who
are in sympathy with the limitations of
growth and the slow development of
woodland plants In general. and who are
willing to make q material outlay with
only scanty returns in view for several
years.
The amount exported last year was 1885,
600 pounds, valued at $7.20 q pound Be-
fore the wild forest supply Of the plant
diminished largely. It brought only 20
cents a pound. Its cultivation began only
about fifteen years ago.

Catholics Abandon Election.
Alleging the state of the country is
such that It will be impossible to hold
a presidential election October q. the
date previously set, the Catholic con-
vention agreed late last night not to
nominate q candidate for the presidency
Of Mexico. It reserves the right to re-
assemble for this purpose In the event
peace Is restored to such an extent that
the holding Of elections will become pos
sible.
The debate over the resolutions not to
nominate a candidate developed an
anti-American speech by a delegate
from the federal district, who charged
that the condition of the country was
due to the non-recognition Of the gov
eminent by the United States. The
speaker advocated that the convention
take no action which would further d.
vide the Mexican people who he said
should present a united front In case
of war with the United States.
The speech met with the approval Of
q large number Of delegates. but 1t was
opposed by the leader Of the federal dis
trict organization. who insisted that the
attitude Of the administration at Wash
ington did not represent the views or q
majority Of the American people
The decision Of the Catholics not to
enter the political fight would appear to
remove the last hopes OF elections being
held, since a similar action has been
taken by the liberal party.
