The Federal Government has under industries. The plan has already been in practice in Victoria for some years. The State Secretary for Agriculture, in a memorandum on the question, says that as regards the success that at- tended the bonuses offered in Victoria there could not, he thought, be any doubt so far as the butter and fruit in- dustries were concerned, but satisfac- tory progress had not been made in the | extension of some of the other indus- tries. The development of new indus- tries was, however, he remarked, usu- ally a slow process under any condi- tions. The bonus given for the estab- output from their inception of the mod- ern system of dairying, had greatly stimulated the development of this in- ported upwards of 12,000,000 pounds of | butter and cheese. Phe cost of market- ing the butter had been brought down INTEREST IN FRUIT GROWING. There is much comment on the meth- | are very unsatisfactory to buyers and entail waste and loss on the growers. | The Sydifey Herald says: Generally speaking, the fruits sent in are not properly “got up’’ for saie. Grading and packing are effectively carrfed out by the few, | ufficlently to allow of our soft fruits belng sent to London there will need to be immenze improvements in methods of ‘handling and packing. A striking object lesson was afford- ed last yvear by the condition in which stone and other soft fruits arrived in Sydney from America. These fruits were packed so that each specimen had a space to itself, It strongly recommends the general adoption of the American plan. The first-class twin screw armored cruiger Euryalus, which under the new | naval agreement has replaced H. M. S. Royal Arthur as flagship on the Aus- tralian station, arrived at Sydney April buoy in Farm Cove. | The gross imports of Australia,| amounting to £26,770,000, exceed the aggregate exports by £29,000, indicat- ing that the state has absorbed more | capital. A writer in the Sydney Herald calls attention to the mining situation in the following words: “That the mining in- dustry in Australia has fallen on evil | days is, unfortunately, but too evident. In Western Australia the returns for the past year have been remarkably good, nevertheless there has not been the activity there that there should | have been. On this side of the conti- nent mining the miner is wandering dbout the land | desperate at the present condition of | affairs and full of pessimism as to the future. Lyell, Cobar, Gundagai, Wya- long, Orange, New England—all are | quiescent, Charters Towers is nboub the most active field, and it is not too | bright. Noting all this, one naturally asks two questions. One is as to what has caused this stagnation, and the | other as to whether the position is like- | ly to improve again. The question of lessening the dangers | and facilitating the navigation of the | port of Sydney by means of increased lighting arrangements and by the es- tablishment of fog bells on prominent parts of the harbor has been under the consideration of the Harbor Trust Commissioners since the appointment of the trust. The Commissioners had formulated an elaborate scheme, which owing to scarcity of funds could not be carried out. A vart of it has, however, | been inaugurated by the installation of | an acetylene gas plant on Shark Isl-| and in lieu of the kerosene light. The selection of a site for the Federal capital seems to be as far off as ever, and the matter will doubtless go over to another Parliament. SYMPATHIZE WITH RUSSIA. There is a strong pro-Russian senti- ment in the commonwealth. John Nor- ton, editor of the Melbourne Truth, re- cently said editorially: Let us pray that Russia may win. Such | should be the fervent prayer of every pious and patriotic Auntralian. On the issue of the war between Russia and Japan hangs tiny of white Australia. This ccmlllrt Mween‘ the white Christian and the brown pagan con- stitutes the supreme crisis of Australia’s na- tional fate. It is not only a struggle between | two nations: it is the Inevitable clashing of the civilization of the west with that of the cast—a duel to the death which shall decide for this side of the future whether European ideas and Christian civilization or Asfatic ideas and pagan barbarism shall dominate this hemi- sphere, Later, in a public address at Sydney, he said: ‘What would become of Australia if China mln‘ as in the thirteenth mtury.

LOS ANGELES, May 2.—To-morrow morning at 8:30 o'clock the thirty-first | General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal church will be called to or- der by Bishop Merrill in Hazard's Pa- vilion, but owing to the delay of many tain that the first day’'s proceedings | will have to be abridged. Only one of the seventeen special trains due here last night and this morning had arrived the night train after train arrived at 2- hour intervals and the weary delegates sought rest from a trip which for many of them had taken a week or more. The first arrivals told of the harrow ing experiences which hundreds of | remarked on L up to 7 o'clock to-night, and throughout | | ped tobacco in March by this repre- them had at the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, where one of the specials was wrecked and there was almost a tragedy. Dr. S. W. Thomas, editor of the Philadelphia Methodist, gave a description of how Methodist clergy- men turned in with pick and shovel there and assisted in rebuilding a rail- road track. He said: “Sunday afternoon seven sections | filled with delegates and thelr families | arrived at the canyon. The cars were heavily loaded and when the trains began the ascent of the Williams grade several engines went dead and under one of the rear sections the track gave way, throwing the train into the ditch. Those aboard the trains, numbering close to 3000, went to the canyon hotel. The manager had expected about 800 and there was not food | enough for more than that. The result was that hundreds went hungry. HARDSHIP ON JOURNEY. “We divided what food there was to eat, but all Sunday night we were without food and the supply of water was scant. It became necessary to construct a track around the wreck in order to let out the trains ahead and Sunday afternoon trainmen, ranchers, cattlemen and clergymen toiled at that work. That was literally a Methodist track, for scores of clergymen worked with pick and shovel. They had to| do it, for there in a strange country| stood cars containing 3000 people | without food and the question of get- ting something to eat was serious. | “All Sunday night we toiled, every | able-bodied man lending a hand, while | the women, God bless them, stood by and encouraged us. There was no complaining, and from time to time | some brother would start a hymn.i and there among the sagebrush and cactus the song would be taken up with a will while the toiling ministers | kept a cadence with their picks and‘ shovels. It was an experience never to be forgotten, and I-doubt if such a | scene was ever duplicated. It was completed and the first of the specials went first singing such songs as ‘God Be With You Till We Meet Again,’ and those behind answering with such songs as ‘There Is a Land of Pure De- | light' After that we made good | CROWDED TRAINS COMING. Fifteen trainloads of Methodists are due to-morrow, and some of the be- | lated sections probably will not get in until the next day; but the work of | the convention will be started on time, | and such work as can be done disposed | of according to programme. The Bishops' special arrived to-day nerth by a committee bearing flowers | and fruits. Other committees went to San Bernardino and Colton, where ' wagon loads of oranges and flowers will be freely distributed’ among the passengers of all the speciale as they arrive. The delight of the first ar- led. After days of travel over deserts| and plains they gave every evidence of their joy at being thus remembered. The most important ante-convention | business transacted to-day was at a meeting of the general committee of the Methodist Book Concern.

Brady, | Post, | Banner, Liberal Member in House of Commons Questions Act of Chancellor of Exchequer FATHER AND SON ANGRY Speaker, When Called to Aec- count, Says He Did Not Im- pugn Honesty of Purpose LONDON, May 3.—Quite a little breeze was raised in the House of Commons during the discussion of the budget resolution increasing the duties on tobacco and cigars by Reginald McKenna (Liberal), who Insinuated that the Chancellor of the Exchequer had been influenced by Joseph Cham- berlain’s tariff commission and a cer- tain tobacco merchant who would reap a direct benefi§ from an increased duty on stripped tobacco. McKenna the extraordinary in- creases in the importation of unstrip- sentative of the tobacco trade, who is 2 member of the tariff commission. Both the 'Chancellor of the Ex- hequer, Austen Chamberlain, and his father jumped up and heatedly de- manded that McKenna should formu- late his charges in express terms. McKenna then disclaimed the slightest intention of imputing anything dis- honorable to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, but maintained that it was remarkable that a member of Cham- berlain’s commission correctly antic WILL BE DISMISSED Judge Cook Hears Evidence of George R. Aikyo and Decides There Is No Corroboration. The murder charge against William B. Kennedy, alias Richard Jackson, alias “Yellow,” in connection with the slaying of Policeman Eugene C. Rob- inson at Sixteenth and Valencia streets on the morning of January 21, 1902, after many vicissitudes will be dis- missed by Judge Cook this fanorning. George R. Aikyo, the Japanese, whose evidence was supposed to corroborate that of William Henderson, one of the other thugs charged with killing Rob- inson, was taken before the Judge yes- terday morning and after telling what happened to him when Kennedy at- tempted to hold him up p few min- utes prior to Robinson’s murder the Judge decided there was nothing to show that Kennedy was implicated in the murder. The reason for taking Aikyo before the Judge prior to May 9, the date set for the trial, was because Aikyo is a commissioner from Japan to the Louis Exposition and he is being kvpl here at considerable expense and may lose his concession at the exposition. Chief Wittman will furnish him with a letter to the Chief of Police at St. Louis explaining the cause of his tar- diness and asking that the exposition commissioners be notified of the facts. Ailkyo has given his testimony at the preliminary hearing before Police Judge Cabaniss on the charge of as- sault to rob against Kennedy. This can be read at the trial if Kennedy is held. — e — ADVERTISING MEN PLAN PERMANENT ORGANIZATION Representatives of Prominent Local Firms, Agencies and Papers Dis- cuss Project at Luncheon.
