Chinese Postal Service.

Originally started by Sir Robert
Hart as the customs postal service, the
Chinese postal service has grown to
big proportions. The Chinese are
great letter writer's, and something
over 350.00O.000 letters were carried
by the Chinese posts in one year. 1t
is the most extensive and the cheapest
postal system in the world. The Chin
ese post will carry letter to any part
of China for about cent and a
half, whether 1t is sent by rail, or
horse, or foot-courier.

ing Regulations Adopted to All
Parts of Country Where
Disease Exists.

Washington, October 12-The apex
of the influenza epidemic in the army
training camps is now in sight, If 1t
has not already been reached. This is
the official judgment of the Surgeon
General of the army, based upon the
rate of progress of the disease in the
camps first affected.
A further slight decrease in the
number of new cases during the past
o hours is announced in last nights
report, which strengthens the belief
of the army doctors that a continued
Improvement of conditions in the
troops of this country may be expect
ed.
Medical experts of the United States
public health service, who are lead
ing the health and sanitation warfare
against the malady in civilian COM
munities, declared last night, how
ever, that the latest reports telegraph
ed from all sections of the country
show that the epidemic generally has
by no means run its course.
They point out that data of reliable
character, now available, seems to in
dictate that it will require from six to
seven weeks for the disease to run its
course among the civilian population.
In the army camps a careful study
of the progress of the contagion shows
that it reaches its height sooner than
in civilian communities because the
greater congestion prevailing in the
camps tends. toward a more rapid
spread.
Both the civilian and army experts
however, say they are better prepared
to combat yellow fever, typhoid, and
even the plague, than the present in
fiuenza epidemic.
Even at the present stage of the cpl
demic it ranks as one of the worst
plaques that has ever afflicted the
country. While definite figures have
not been collected in all sections of
the country it is known that the to-
tai mortality statistics already have
reached alarming proportions.
Deaths among the troops in this
country for the past week were at the
rate OF S1.S per thousand per annum,
as compared with a rate of 81 and
even lower, prevailing before the pre-
sent outbreak There were by actual
count SS,476 new cases of influenza
during the week, and $685. of pneu-
monia.
In the past "a hours 1904 new in

duction from yesterdays figures.

CORN PROSPECTS
FOR KENTUCKY is
UNUSUALLY GOOD
Federal Crop Report For the State Of
Kentucky Shows Corn In
Good Condition.

Crop prospects in Kentucky now in
dictate the production of approximate
ly 96,6S1 900 bushels of corn compared
to 122,S5O,00 bushels last year, while
the total United States crop is ex-
pected to be about 2,719,676,000 bu-
shells compared to 3,159,494,000 bn-
shells last year 1t should be remem-
bered, however, that there was a very
large amount of soft corn last year,
while there will probably be much
less this year.
Tobacco in Kentucky is now ex-
pected to produce about 360,7S9,S00
pounds compared to 426,600,000
pounds last year, while the total Unit
ed States crop is expected to be about
1,266. 031 900 pounds compared to l.
1876, 451 900 pounds last year. Because
of being late in making its growth the
quality of Kentucky tobacco is still
somewhat uncertain as much of it had
10 be cut green, but Northern and
Eastern states report excellent crops.
The Western Kentucky and also the
hurley district crops grew out won
derfully after the late rains and to-
tai production in Kentucky will pro-
badly be larger than first expected.
Potatoes in Kentucky are now ex-
pected to produce 5,035, 800 bushels
compared to 6,72O,OOO bushels last
year, while the United States crop is
expected to be about 391 ,093,O0 bu-
shells compared to 42,536,00O bushels
last year.
Sweet potatoes now promise about
1,O4OS20 bushels in Kentucky COM
pared to 100000 bushels last year
The United States sweet potato crop
promises about S5,4S9,S5O bushels
compared to S7,141,OOO bushels last
year.
Glover seed prospects are good in
Kentucky this season, being estimated
now to produce about $4,000 bushels
compared to $4,000 bushels last year,
while the total United States crop is
estimated at about 1,3S2,44S bushels
compared to 1,356,OO0 bushels last
year.
Late reports from the spring wheat
territory in the Northwest indicate
good yields of high quality, the aver
age yield being estimated at 16.1 bu-
shells compared to ten year average
of 1871 bushels and the quality at 94S
per cent compared to ten year av-
erage of 6S.7 per cent.
The commercial apple crop in the
United States is now estimated at "a
100000 barrels compared to 22,519,000
| barrels last year. This does not in
clude farm crops that are not ordi-
narily marketed. The Northwestern
| boxed apple crop is short, but the
Eastern crop is heavy, especially in
| Western New York and the Shenan-
doah- Cumberland district of West Vir-
ginia, Maryland, Virginia and Penn
sylvania There is practically no i'm
portant apple crop in Kentucky this
year, though few scattered orchards
report some fruit.
More detailed reports on the pro-
duction of crops in any year or SER
les of years, price records, etc, may
be obtained by those interested, who
will address the United States Bureau
