STATEMENT OF THE PORTE Official ('iterance* «»f the American Board of Commissioner* for Foreign M i**i«»n*—Turkey Trying to A**uine Authority Over Foreigner** Mail. L o n d o n , January 1. — A Central News Agency dispatch from Peking says that Liu Kun Y i, Viceroy of Liang Kiang, has been appointed to the chief com mand of all the Chinese forces, ousting Li Hung Chang. The same agency’s correspondent at Antong telegraphs that details from Kung Wesai confirm the re ports that the reient hattle was fought with great obstinacy. The Chinese were strongly intrenched. They had eleven field pieces and some machine guns, w hich were well handled. The Japanese charges were repulsed with heavy loss. Their reserves from Halt Chen, who have experienced gi eat difficulty on the march, owing to the snow, then joined them, and they made another charge with hur rahs and shouts of victory. This time they carried everything. The Jap- onese admit that they had 450 killed and wounded, and say that the Chinese had 300 killed and wounded. The snow pre vented a successful pursuit of the rt treat ing Chinese. The villages along the route of retreat drove away the C.tinese soldiers who songht reluge w-th them. They said they preferred to ht governed by the Japanese. A dispatch from Tokio says: “ Gen eral Nodzu, w ho commands the Japan ese army in Manchuria, reports that the natives have been greatly influenced by the clemency of the Japanese, and that many residents who had fled from their homes are returning with their families and willingly assisting the invaders. Markets have been opened. Japanese currency circulates freely, and the Jap anese administration is working well.” January 1.—T ie following statement with ref rence to the condi tion of affairs in eight districts of A r menia in which Christian missionaries are stationed was to-day issued by the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions: “ Official letters sent recently from the rooms of the American Board of Com missioners for Foreign Missions, con ain- ing accounts relating to the Euro|'ean- Turkish missions, were opened by the Turkish officials. The letters were sub sequently delivered, hut with the Turk ish word ‘ examined ’ written on the en velope. This indicated th it the Turkish government is attempting to assume all authority over the mail of foreigners. “ When the rejairts of the massacre of Christians in the FaBsoun district of Eastern Turkey became public after more than two months of suppression on the part of the Turkish officials, the Ottoman government was alarmed at STATE FUNDS ALL RIGHT. widespread publications in the American and English press.

The low prices of hops and the pros pective profit in apples induce a Yakima ■nan to uproot a hop field and set it out in apple trees. It might be just as well for him in the long run to raise both hops and apples. This view of the situ ation should not be overlooked. Several hundred head of cattle have died lately at the feeding ground near Ritzville, Wash. They are believed to have lieen poisoned by eating a plant, concerning which nothing definite is known.

An illustration of horses eating their heads off was given last week at North Yakima, Wash., when Sheriff Simmons sold seventeen head of work horses and muies belonging to E. C. Burlingame to satisfy a judgment of $628 in favor of the Moxee Company for feeding the an imals for about one and a half years. The highest price realized was $30 and the lowest « 6. The aggregate from the receipts of the sale amounted to about hall of the judgment. The colored coal miners imported for Coos county people made quite a sensa tion at Rosehuig. There were two car loads of them, about fifty in a ll; more than had ever lieen in Kosehurg before at one time. They were much put out at the prospect of the trip over the Coast Mountains, and said they had been told the mines were only eight miles from the railroad. Those who had families finally refused to go, and have been shipped around by wav of San Francisco and steamer to Marshfield, Or. They came from McDowell county, W . Va. II.

Mr. ileppersett understands the business arrangements well enough to know that the company hacking the enterprise means businees. Fort Bragg is situated on the coast, and the proposed road extends through a timber belt for about 103 miles, termi nating in the coal fields near Ukiah.

I f I should fill an incubator with eggs and at the end of the first week test about half of them out, cou.d I fill tbe space thus made vacant with fresh eggs and hatch them successfully?—G. VV.

I could see no good reason why it was not a good idea and entirely practicable until I tried iL Everything works smoothly until the hatching begins; then the operator sees his mistake. Repeated experi ments have thoroughly satisfied me that each hatching should be placed in the machine at one time, and no eggs added thereatter even if two-thirds are tested out as infertile. I will give brief general directions lor the guidance of beginners, and will at any time explain more iully any particular if so desired. Practice with the machine until you can run it steadily day and night with out any change in the temperature of the egg chamber. You should he able to do this in a week. Then pnt in the eggs. This will lower the temperature of the egg chamber very much unless the eggs are firet warmed. 1 prefer warm ing nicely before putting in. V ery early in the morning is the best for starting, for the thermometer can ite looked at at least once each hour until 16 o ’clock the following night. I f it remains steady, everything is right. A t the end of ten day» you may test out the infertile eggs and put in one pan of lukewarm water for moisture. A t the end of two weeks the heat of the hatching eggs will lie such that you mast watch closely lest the temperature rise too high. Be sure that it never goes above 103 degrees. I f there mast lie a variation, 95 degrees is far better than 106. I f the air in the room is constantly wai m and dry, place a second pan of lukewarm water in the machine at the end of the second week. If tl e room is in a cellar and moisture shows on the window, one pan of water under the eggs is quite suthcient. When the eggs begin to hatch don’t open the door lor love nor money. IIa v e the ther mometer fastened so the chicks cannot knock it over and see that the temper ature does not rise above 103. Don’t re move the chicks from the chainlier until they have been hatched at least twenty hoars; then quickly place them in a brooder heated to 100. When you buy an incubator see that the egg tray fits the chamber, so that newly hatched chicks cannot possibly fall over its edges into the moisture pans below.—Fred Grundy, Illinois.

W a s h i n g t o n , January 2. —Owing to misapprehensions caused by the publi cation of a statement that the decree concerning secret societies was not final and was to be submitted to the Bishops to seenre from them their opinion» thereon, Monsignore Satolli authorizes the following brief statement of facts: “ The Archbishops of the United States have taken counsel with respect to three societies, namely, Odd Fellows, Sons of Temperance and Knights of Pythias. The Archbishops decided that the whole question should be submitted to the Apostolic See. In a communi cation from his eminence. Cardinal Monaco, to Monsignore Satollitheaction of the general congregation of Cardinals to whom his Holiness committed the question is made known. The congre gation after considering carefully the matter made the decree; this decree his Holiness fully confirmed and gave it complete effect. The decree is, there fore, transmitted to all Archbishops, Bishops and other ordinaries in the United States to lie by them carried into effect. Monsignore Satolli has acted merely as a medium of transmission, but in view of the contradictory and con fusing reports emanating from various parts of the country the facts are thus briefly stated.” T h e G e o rg ia H are W a r.
