NEWRUIESOFENTRY
REGULATIONS REGARDING CHIN
ESE CONSIDERABLY CHANGED.
Report of the Special Committee In
vestigating the Subject Approved
bv Secretary Metcalf—Change Ex
pected to Ameliorate If It Does
Not End Boycott.
Washington, Feb. ll.—Secretary of
Commerce Metcalf has taken action
which is expected to ameliorate con
siderably the contention between this
conntry and China, anil perhaps cause
abandonment of the anti- American
bocjott, having approved the report of
the special committee composed of
Assistant Secretary Murray, Solicitor
Sims and Richard Campbell, of the
bureau of immigration, providing for
a revision of the existing regulations
under which Chinese may reside in
this country.
The commission touches by way of
excision or amendment twenty-four of
the existing regulations.
Resides certain ameliorations that
promise to avoid delay in landing Chi
nese who apply for admission, other
alterations have been made where pos
sible, with a view of avoiding action
that would seem offensive, provided
that the object intended by such regu
lations could be accomplished other
wise.
As an illustration of this, the com
mission recommended the discontinu
ance of the Bortillou system of iden
tictiation.
Important Changes.
Some of the more important changes
in the regulations follow:
Prohibiting officers of the service
from boarding foreign vessels at Unit
ed States ports in enforcing Chinese
exclusion.
Chinese who have been denied ad
mission to be advised by notice in
Chinese of their right to appeal.
Eliminating the rule giving to ad
ministrative officers of the govern
ment the benefit of the doubt in every
doubtful case.
Extending the time within which
Chinese denied admission may file no
tice of appeal to the secretary of com
merce and labor.
Authorizing additional extension of
time where a literal compliance which
the rule which extends the time for
perfecting the record on appeal would
cause injustice to the applicant or risk
defeat of the purposes of the law.
Permitting Chinese laborers claim
ing the right to leave the United States
and return thereto to apply to the im
migration officers most convenient, in
stead of requiring them to apply to
the officers at the port of departure.
Instructions to Be Given.
Directing officials to be certain that
every departing Chinese laborer fully
understands the import of section (i of
the act of 1888, which provides that
he shall not be permitted to return to
the United States"unless he has a law
ful wife, child or parent in the United
States and property therein to the
value of ♦1.000, or debts of like
amount due him, or pending settle
ment."
(.-riving departing Chinese laborers
a copy of the department's instruc
tions and regulations regarding re
turn notices.
Immediate admission of returning
registered Chinese laborers who es
tablish their right to admission.
Facilitation of the return of Chin
ese merchants going temporarily.
Simplifying the procedure regard
ing the departure and return of Chin
ese merchants visiting contiguous for
eign territory.
Omitting the rule proiding for pho
tographs of the interior of mercantile
establishments operated in connec
tion with laundries and restaurants.
Omits Students' Definition.
Omitting the rule defining the term
"student."
Omitting the rule that no person
other than a seaman will be permitted
to land temporarily under bond.
Omitting the rule providing for the
admission of persons proposing to par
ticipate in exhibitions authorized by
congress.
Allowing Chinese laborers found
within the United States without [the
certictiates prescribed by law a reas
onable opportunity,under proper legal
surveillance, to produce surch certifi
cates before being taken before a judge
for commitment or trial, instead of be
ing subject to summary arrest, as pro
vided by the existing law.
Omitting the rule that Chinese per
sons of the exempt class, who, after
having resided in the country, be
come laborers, shall be deported, and
also that with reference to the issu
ance of identictlatiou cards.
CALL ON VENEZUELA TO PAY.
President Decides After Reading Re
port ot Calhoun.
Wnshintgon, Feb. 5.— W. J. Cal
houn. the president's special commis
sioner in the asphalt controversy with
Venezuela, has arrived in Washington,
and Saturday called at the state de
partment to consult with Secretary
Koot in relation to the presentation
of facts in his official report.
The decision of the president again
to demand of the Venezuelan govern
ment a settlement of at least a part of
the asphalt company's claims, it is
said, marks the refusal of the state de
partment to accept the Venezuelan
contention that the asphalt matter is
res adjudicata, having been tlually de
cided by the Venezuelan courts.
DIRECT VOTE ON SENATOR.
lowa Leads In the Movement for a
National Convention.
Des Moines, la.. Fell. s.—Following
a conference with Gov. Cummins held
several days ago, Senator L. W. Lewis,
of Page county, stated, that he would
at his earliest opportunity, introduce
a resoltuion in the lowa senate in
structing the governor to invite the
governors of several states to appoint
committees from their legislatures to
meet in Des Moines next summer, for
the purpose of adopting specific and
united plans looking to an amendment
of the national constitution requiring
the election of United States senators
by direct vote. The conference will
be national in scope.
Chamberlain Telegraphs Approval.
Salem, Or., Feb. s.—Gov. Chamber
lain lias received a telergaphie query
from a Cleveland, 0., newspaper, stat
ing that the Ohio legislature was about
to pass a resolution requesting two
thirds of the states to join in » CM 11 for
a constitutional convention to amend
the constitution so as to require the
election of a United States senator by
direct vote of the people, and request
ing the governor's opinion. The gov
ernor replied as follows:
"I heartily favor the proposition of
the Ohio legislature looking to the
amending of the constitution so as to
elect United States senators by direct
vote of the people. There is no other
way to get rid of those senators who
represent special interests instead of
the people they pretend to represent."
Toole favors the Convention.
Helena, Mont., Feb. s—(tov. Toole,
replyingt o a telegram t'rom lowa in
quiring if he favored the proposed
convention of governors to hasten the
enactment of an amendment to the
constitution providing for the election
of senators by popular vote, replied in
the affirmative.
COUNT WITTE HOPES
TO APPEASE PEASANTS
St. Petersburg, Feb. s.—lt is stated
that the ministerial proposition for
the solution of the agrarian question,
a successful settlement of which is
regarded as the crux of Count Witte's
difficult task, is now nearing comple
tion, and will be taken up for consid
eration by the council of the empire
on February 10.
The operation will be accomplished
through the Peasants' bank, which
will purchase the lands and sell them
to the peasantry on the installment
system. The difficult point is the
large sum necessary to carry out the
project. As this is not obtainable in
the country, it is necessary to add to
the already large sum which must be
borrowed abroad to meet the existing
deflicency in the budget.
The project will be turned over to
the douma, Count Witte having re
peatedly stated that no measure will
be adopted before the convocation of
that body.
Perusal of the project for the abo
lition of capital punishment shows
that while the ostensible object of the
measure is really a carefully designed
plan to strengthen the hands of the
government in dealing with armed rev
olution. it contains a "joker" remov
ing certain categories of political
crimes from the jurisdiction of cer
tain district courts and making them
triable only by court martial.
Townsites on Irrigated Tracts.
Washington, Feb. s.—The senate
irrigation committee has ordered a
favorable report on Senator Heybum's
bill providing for the segregation of
IHO-acre townsites on government irri
gation tracts and requiring the secre
tary of the interior to sell water rights
in such towns for municipal and do
mestic purposes, such water rights to
be bought and controlled by the towns.
The bill also authorizes the sale of
water in towns for power purposes.
! Togo Comes In April.
Tokyo, Feb. s.—Admiral Togo will
visit America during April with two
j armored cruisers.

ABERDEEN HERALD, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1906
I:ininil,mix \ »*it Pear.
I.ondou Hardener's Chronicle In a re
cent Issue illustrates a new pear now
being introduced by the distinguished
piimologist. M. Charles Italtet, Troyes,
France. M. Italtet thinks this pear, for
which he proposes the name "Roose
velt." is ilestineil to bring about a rev
olution In fruit "gardens and orchards.
The tree Is said to be a robust grow
er. and very productive, either as a
standard or as a dwarf, grafted on
ipiliicc stock. The pears grow very
large, sometimes measuring over Ave
inches in diameter. The cut is sup
posed to lie about half the natural size
of the best fruits. The tlesli Is snow
white, melting and of a delicate, sweet
and agreeable flavor.
The color of the ripe fruit is light
yellow shading to lemon, with bright
red s|Mtts on the sunny side. The season
in Northern France Is from September
to November, being in good eating con
dition through the whole month of Oc
tober. M. Baltet has tested it for
years, and does not hesitate warmly to
recommend It. Ills great reputation
will go far to encourage trials of this
sensational variety.—Farm Progress.
Provide Warmth for Hokn.
Says a swine-grower In the West:
You think of the hog as being covered
with a two or three-inch layer of pure
fat. You think of that fat as being a
poor conductor of heat and cold, letting
little body heat escape and letting lit
tle of the cold of the weather get at
the real hog.
If >Ini stop. to think, you will
remember tlint Hogs are hot-weather
animals. All summer they spend much
time In the sun, and in winter they
idle up so as to keep warm. They come
from the house or pen steaming in the
cold nir of winter. They shiver with
the stuldeti chill.
Somehow that fat does not act as n
non-conductor. The hogs sweat In the
dead of winter as they pile up In a
cold place. It would, therefore, seem
probable that It would require more
feed to keep hogs out In the cold than
it would in a warm place.
Experiments have shown that a sav
ing of about lifi per cent In the feed
bill Is made when hogs are sheltered
so they are comfortable. It Is better
for the hogs to be warm enough so
Unit they do not lie in a pile all the
time. They move about more and take
needed exercise, and are less liable to
catch cold when they do not get up a
sweat and then go out In the cold to
feed.

lii m recent report, published by the
lowa Suite Hairy < 'ommlssioiier, the
average cost of producing one pound of
butter is given sis follows:
In the erentner.v that makes lii.inmi
pounds of hutter per year, it costs four
cents to make one pound of hutter,
and in a creamery producing 00.000
pounds it costs :n-1i» cents to make
one pound: while in creameries making
150.< MMi pounds per year, it costs only
1.85 cents. In some of the very large
central plants, that are producing over
200,(HMl pounds of Imtter per year, it
costs 1.4 cents per pound. These fig
ures clearly show that the larger the
creamery the cheaper hutter can lie
manufactured, and they also show that
it takes ahout 4ihi cows, tributary to
one factory, before a profitable cream
ery business can be established.
What Our Farmer* Produce.
The American farmer raised In 1905
2,708,000,000 bushels of corn. 740,000.-
(KXI bushels of wheat, 1,000,000,000

butter and cheese from 17,570,000 cows,
which products alone will be worth in

dozen of eggs.
While Aylenhurj- Duck*.
The soft w.ilte plumage is one of the
Chief attractions of the Aylesbury
breed, ami like most white plumage
has a t'endency to assume a yellow hue
if exposed to the sun. The beak will
also lose its deliente pink hue and be
come yellow if exposed to too much
sunlight in summer. The bill of the
I'ekln should be yellow, but the bill of
the Aylesbury should be a delicate
pink or tleshcolor. an<l birds intended
for exhibition must possess this qual
ity or they will suffer at the hands of
the Judge. Birds raised for exhibition
purposes must be guarded against too
much exposure to the sunlight In the
summer. Of course, these delicate
points are of no consequence to the
market poulterer other than to show
the true type of the breed.
For farm purposes the Aylesbury Is
to be recommended, second only to the
I'ekin: it possesses the many good
qualities of the I'ekln, and can lw> bred
with almost the same success. The ad
vantages claimed for Aylesbury are the
ease with which It is acclimated, thriv
ing in every country and climate: Its
early maturity: Its great hardiness; Its

large size; Its grout prolificacy, and
the real beauty which It jiossesses.
Raisers recommend for raising Exhibi
tion birds one drake to two ducks, or
two drakes to five ducks, all being al
lowed to run together. Duck raisers
who raise large numbers for market
breed them as tlie.v do I'ekiiis, using
from four to eight females to one
male, according to the season of th<>
year. Fresh blood Is introduced every
year to keep up the size, and breeding
stock is seldom kept longer than the
second or third year.—Exchange.
WilNtliiK
A large proportion of the hay and
fodder produced on farms is stackcd.
but hay stored in the barn will keep
in much betlet condition than when
stored in stacks. It is almost impos
sible to escape loss when it is exposed
in stacks. Damaged hay will be wast
ed by the animals, and there is an ad
ditional loss in quantity by exposure
that may not occur in the mow. It is
better to sell the hay that cannot lie
stored in the mow than to accept risk
of tiic weather.
Fodder enn lie as truly wasted when
put In tiic stomach as when trodden
under foot. Unhoused cattle have a
continuous battle for comfort, and
consumption of food shows no result,
for the reason that it is used wholly
in keeping life.. Moreover, they are
stuunted by their stay at this un
thrifty stage, and will never show as
good results afterward.
Forliiunlp l-'n rnier.
From tiic annual report of the Sec
retary of Agriculture, it appears that
farm crops in the I'nlted States have
never before been harvested at such a
high general level of production and
value as during the present year. Corn
luts reached its highest production,
over •J.Ttm.tiiMl.lMHi bushels, of a total
estimated value of Sl.'JUi.oiiD.iKMi. Hay
conies second, witii a value of jKiKKi.-
OOO.IKHI; cotton is expected to yield
and as in wheat, the short
crop of last year is followed by a crop
of I !S-1,000,000 bushels, the value of
which. $."-J.",000.000. Is larger than was
ever before reached. It is interesting
to notice that the estimated value of
in Ilk and butter, $(!<>.",000,000, was
larger than the value of any crop ex
i ejit corn, and that the product of eggs
was valued at only $.".000,000 less than
tiic large wheat crop.
