Picturesque Chinese Figure In Wash* Montana Pow er Sites W ere Not Ex ington 1$ Recalled. tended Under Ballinger. Washington, Aug. 14.— For the see- • ond time in his diplomatic career Dr. Wu Ting Fang, the Chinese minister to the United States, has been recalled from the Washington mission, and has been directed to proceed home, where it is expected he w ill be assigned to other work. Dr. Wu*s successor w ill be Chang Y in Tang, known as a “ progressive” in Chinese political affairs. H e has seen diplomatic service in India, Eng land, Thibet and the United States.. Dr. Wu’s retirement from Washing ton removed a picturesque figure from the capital. Probably no diplomat is better known than be, for he Is a pop ular talker and his pungent w it and bright sallies have been heard and read /with interset at many places. During the Boxer troubles, Minister Wu, in connection with Yuan Shai Ksi, then T a o T a i o f Shanghai, was success fu l in gettin g through a message to the American minister, Mr. Conger, who, w ith his colleagues, was in the legation compound in Pekin, and whose fate was a matter o f great concern to the state department. An answer from Mr. Conger demon strated that he had received the mes sage sent by the state department and that all was well with the legation offi cials. I t is pointed out as a peculiar coincidence that Wu should be recalled a t this time, soon after the downfall o f Yuan Shai K ai, his friend. Wu’s sympathise were with the United States during the Boxer troubles, and this led to his recall. O nly an intimation from this govern ment that his beheading would be offensive to the United States, it is believed, prevented his summary death a t the hands o f the Chinese authorities. The new minister, Chaag Y in Tang, from A pril, 1898, to February, 1899, was consul-general at San Franesco and name years ago was attached to the ■Chinese legation in Washington fo r a abort time.

F or the purpose o f demonstrating the possibility o f an escape from a sub marine through a torpedo tube, Mid shipman Whiting, who is an expert swimmer, had his vessel lowered to the bottom o f the bay near Cavite. Far under the water, probably 60 or 70 feet, W hiting crawled into the torpedo tube. The end o f the tube in the boat was closed behind him. The tube in a submarine is dosed or opened on the -outside by a port, which is moved by powerol machinery. When under the -Water there is a great in-rush o f water, Ailing the tube as the torpedo flies out. Whiting, within the tube, got a hold c n the port. The officers inside the vessel turned on the power and the port waa swung o u t W hiting went With it, cleared himself o f the torpedo tube, end then lot go, flying upward to the surface o f the water. He waa un injured by hie experience. Crops Show Decrease. Washington.

Y ., Aug. 16.— The British empire in momentary danger o f destruction at the hands o f Germany, and ready, merely for the asking, to accept the dominance o f the United States and see the empire’ s real seat o f authority transferred to Washington, Is, according to Colonel S. 8. McClure, editor o f M cC i-ic’s Magazine, the sit uation which is now confronting the country’s statesmen. Colonel McClure coiled the parting o f Am erica from England hi 1776 a disastrous mistake, and read a state ment from Lord R oseberry in which that statesman predicts that, i f Eng land and Am erica had not separated at the time o f the Revolution, the seat o f the great British empire would hove already been transferred from the B rit ish Isles to what ia now tba United States and those islands would have simply bean the sacred historic shrine o f ths great world-empire o f tbs Eng lish-speaking people. “ The United States should secure the dominance o f the British empire,” continued Mr. McClure, “ fo r the ask ing The present situation o f England and Germany is that o f two farmers livin g side by aide, one o f whom is a first rata prizefighter, has trained his people to be prizefighters and says to his neighbor, who has been peaceably engaged in cultivating his estate: T want some o f your property and I'm going to have it .’ The poeaible de struction o f the British empire, which this means, is the moet terrible prob lem before us today.” Washington, Aug. 14.— “ A t no time during the administration o f Secretary Ballinger have any power sitae been filed on in Montana,” said A cting A s sistant Commissioner Schwartz o f the general land office, today.

The statement says that neither Col lins nor the Collins Land company had made any such filing at Boseman or elsewhere. “ The only water power site on the watersheds' o f the Missouri river not now under the control o f the govern ment under Secretary Ballinger’s orders o f suspension, are sites which have been in private ownership for several years,” says Mr. Schwarts, “ and two additional sftes which are improved and developed to run the streetcar system and lighting o f Helena and Butte and the mines in Butte. “ These two sites are in the posses sion o f the Helena Power A L igh t company and the Capital Improvement company, one having a dam 86 fe e t high and the other 120 fe e t high, aeroes the Missoori river. “ A s to the application on June 11, o f President Ramsey, o f the Riverside RO B B ERY A ?

F. M O O R E Situated about eighty-five miles east ward of the coast of Nova Scotia Is gable Island, the home of herds of wild ponies. Once s year, writes Mr. Silver, In “ Farm Cottage, Camp and Canoe In Maritime Canada,” the wild ponies are rounded up. They are driven into a pound, and are bound and taken to ths hold of s government boat. Certainly Sable Island does not ex actly tally with one’s preconcerted no tion of the character of a horse ranch. Yet here the ponies thrive In average seasons; here they roam In Ignorance o f the labors which most o f their race are fated to endure, until at last the evil day arrives o f the annual drive, when the whole Island la swept from « d to end, sod a kicking, snorting, ter rified mass Is driven Into a Urge pound. Two or three dozen of selected ponies are then lassoed, thrown down, bound, rolled over upon a hand-barrow, lifted up and slid Into the surf-boat, rowed out, and finally bolated on board for conveyance to Halifax. The horses of Sable Island are sel dom seen lying down to rest. They often sleep standing. They persistent ly refuse the shelter o f a stable, or even the rough sheds erected for their comfort, and shun the near presence of In severe weather it Is the habit o f the horses to gather in the gulches or hollows between the sandhills. Here they arrange themselves In regular or der, the colts In the centers, their eld ers outside o f them, and tbs master stallion In the most exposed situation of all. As all ths ponies are under thirteen hands, their usefulness is restricted. Some prove extremely serviceable ani mals, easily kept, with fa ir speed and great endurance, especially under the saddle. As s rule, when once broken and well cared for, they become affec tionate and docile. BIG PO U L TR Y AND BOO AALSS. Afcost s «0,000,000 W * K k the R w * r 4 o f D is p o s a l fa r 1* 0 8 . The growth of the poultry and game business has been phenomenal, and It is but In Its Infancy. Forty years ago the dressed poultry that came to New York other than for the holiday aesson was largely supplied by women of New Jersey and Staten Island, who brought it to Washington market In baskets. Poultry then was a luxury and used only on rare occasions or during holi days. specially at Thanakgtvlng, when turkeys were more or less In demand. It was only twenty-five years ago ths first dressed poultry was shipped from as far as Indiana and then In lim ited quantities, says the New York Sun. To-day poultry Is shipped by the hundreds of cars from Texas. Missouri. Kansas and kindred States. The poultry receipts here have In creased threefold in the last ten years. Poultry and eggs valned at $«10.000.000 were sold In the New York market In 1008. They cease to be luxuries and now are a part of dally necessities. In former years there was no means to preserve them. In the northwest, Can ada. Vermont and other localltlea where the winters are extreme there were shippers who froze their poultry In the natural temperature. Eggs were preserved by lime or In salt Modern cold storage plants have :>een built where food products can be kept In perfect condition. This has been the cause of the great Increase not only of the demand hut of the poealblllty of supply. The enormous growth of the trad* dates back to the first o f these cold storage plants Refrigerator cars have been the essential auxiliary. ITita method of transportation has been per fected from time to time until now the service and the equipment compare fa vorably with the progress In any other branch o f the trade. Nor have these Improvements been confined to a particular phasa of the Shippers who formerly had as their eetabllhment a abed and a few beneoope now have the moet improved houses and everything Is sanitary. Feeding stations where poultry la fat tened provide n much better article of food than formerly. Farmers, realizing thnt the hen la the moat profitable product o f the farm, have bought the finest breeds for eating quality as wall as the moet favorable known hlgh-dam egg producers. - Added to the Improvements the pro ducers have nntted for a fight along the lines o f government Inspection of the goods.
