Insulting Aggression of Japan Is Otvesi
as Season. .
Tokio, Oct. 18. Copies of circulars
isined in North China by body of
Chinese calling .Itself the Popular As
sociation of the Three Eastern Prov
ince! have been received in Japan after
hewing been spread broadcast among
Chineie of the lower classes. The cir
culars contain inflammatory statements
against the Japanese. They bear upon
wbat ii called the "weakness of poor
China'.' and ths "Insulting aggression
Of JDB."
Assertions arc made that Japan has
devastated the arable lands of North
China and has enslaved laborers along
the line of the Antung-Mukde railroad,
that Japanese officials have beaten the
men, jusnlted the women and terrorised
the people.
The circulars point oat that the weak
neas of China in a military sense
makes It impossible for her to resent
this, treatment, except by a boycott, and
call upon the people of China generally
to rerun ail dealings w.m tne jiwans
All students and persons who value
freedom are called upon to propagate
the doctrines and join in adopting the
programme of the association. Failing
in this, they are threatened with vio
lence and even deatn.
The document concludes with the re
quest that Chinese vehicles, vessels and
railroads refuse to carry Japanese
goods. An endless chain is sought on
the request that patriotic citizens into
whose hands the circulars may fall shall
have them reprinted and scattered
broadcast, until Japan is completely
shut out from all commercial communi
cation with China.
These circulars have created some
thing of a sensation in Japan. Effort
is being made to prevent the spreading
of their contents among Japanese of the
i (rno rant class because the denser of
arousing feeling at this time is rccog
nieed.
Meanwhile there Is reason to believe
that Japan has called, or will immedi
etely call ths attention of the Chinese
authorities to the boycott propaganda,
demanding that the circulars be out
lawed as illegal documents, snd that the
Popular Association of the Three East
era Provinces be brought under disci
pline.
The exact method by which China Is
able to control her doodIs. to this wav
is not known, but it is believed Acre

From the dives, the shady hotels, the

FARM CENSUS ECONOMV.
Director Durand Hop to Save Sev
eral Hundred Thousand Dollars.
Washington, Oct 11. U. 8. Ceneoa
Dlreeotr Dana B. Durand hop to save
several hundred thousand dollars in
taking the census of agriculture and
also to in creese tha accuracy of tha
statistic. :
The director stated today that at tbe
eenau of 1900 tbe agricultural data
war handled by mean of punched
cadr.?- For ach farm a large number
of cards had to bo punched, aa tbe
number of facta recorded regarding a
farm waa far greater than tb number
of facta required regarding an individ
ual la tbe population esnsua.
Director .Durand said tb statistics
of population and of agriculture are
collected by a different force from that
employed ia gathering the . atatisties
of manaafctur, Tb population and
agricultural data are secured by enum
erator of whom there will be about
66,000 at the prevent census, they in
turn Being appointed by the supervis
ora, of whom there era about 330. . Tbe
difficulty of securing competent and
faithful enumeratora ia eery great
Tbe length of service i very short, 16
day in tb cities and 80 day in the
country districts. Tb pay ia small,
averaging perhaps thro dollar per
day to too country districts and a trifle
more in tha cities, practically tb pay
of ordniary mecbaniec Not only,
therefor, are most of those who aaek
to be neumeratora able to command
only moderate pay in their occupa
tions, but many of them ara men who
can not command regular employment
and who are looking for odd job.
- The director hopes that a consider
able number of the coUeegs and univer-
sitio of the oantry,may see fit to give
leave of absence to tbelr students for
tb short time required to do this work
of enumeration. Tbe college student is
a very useful enumerator in eome
caeca, but it fo exceedingly desirable
that enumerators should actually live
in the diitritoe where they work, and
tbere are multitudes of district where
no college students reside or where such
stodenta ara in institutions bund rede or
thousands of miles from their homes.
Another elaas who can render good ear-
vice aa enumerators ara school teach
ers, but, with tb enumeration taking
place ia April and May Instead of June
as formerly, few school t each re can be
spared from their dotie to take the
oansda.
