ginning to curl, especially in places
where the soil Is light and sandy.
This last rain has changed the out

broken arm caused his return home.
Sorharo Cane Poisons Stock.
CULBERTSON, Aug. 4. Within the
last few days a number of cattle in
this vicinity have died from eating
green sorghum cane raised for fodder.
J. M. Williams has lost six head of
cattle, Carl Remer seven and another
farmer eleven, The farmers have been
raising sorghum for fodder for several
years, feeding only the first growth,
as it was well known that the second
growth was poisonous to cattle. The
theory in this case is that the plant
had become so dried up that after the
recent rains the revival amounted to
second growth.

patrick of the treasury department has
just returned to Washington from
Ottawa, where he went at the instance
cf the committee of citizens of Chi
cago in charge of the cercmenies of
laying the corner stone of that city's
great postofllce building next October
by President McKinley, to arrange for
the formal Invitation from Chicago's
citizens to the governor-general and
cabinet of Cnnnda to participate iil
these festivities-.
Mr. Fitzpatrick is the assistant
United States architect under Archi
tect Henry Ives Cobb fcr the Chicago
building. To an Associated Pi ess repj
resentative lie admitted that his ollicial
reception was slightly (hilly. Sir Wil
fred laurier very candidly teiling hini
that under the present conditions it
would bs impossible for him to accept,
or even to consider any social invita
tions to this side of the border.
Mr. Fitzpatrick cays that in sub
stance Sir Wilfred's voluntary state
ments and answers to queries were as
follows:
"As a friend in whom I am greatly
interested I am very glad to see you,
but, frankly, as a representative of tho
federal or any local government in tho
United States, your visit could not
have been more iintimely When I re
ceived your first letter, i lock up the
matter with his excellency; the governor-general,
and lie expressed a sin
cere desire to visit Chicago and seemed
us anxious to accept jour invitation as
I was. We woudl have been delighted
to go and were looking forv.ai.: lo me
day with anticipation. But since the
tone of your press has become so harsh
in dealing with the Alaskan coundary
question, such misrepresentations have
been made about our government and
particularly about me. that it would
be undignified for us to visit you and
I cannot advise his excellency to go."
Mr. Fitzpatrick said that Sir Wilfred
Intimated that in the present state of
public feeling in the United States, as
indicated in the press, it would not be
entirely safe for the governor-geneial
and himself to visit Chicago, as ho
feared that they might in a groat gath
ering of such a character as the Chi
cago ceremony bo subjected to some
unpleasantness or indignity by
thoughtless persons. Sir Wilfred ex
pressed himself aa strongly in favor
of arbitrating tho Alaskan boundary
dispute and concluded the interview
as follows!
"No, much as t regret it, I could not
go to Chicago under present conditions
and shall certainly, however painful a
duty it may be, also advise Ir's excel
lency to decline the invitation that I
know and feel has so kindly been ex
tended to us by the city of Chicago."

So far there are three big cempiuiics
which have not consented to enter the

that these three companies will unite

GATHERING A GREAT HARVEST.
Women ntid Iloyn i'rertsed Into the Sen
Ire to Sernre the drain.
LEMARS, la., Aug. 5. Women are
woiking in the harvest fields all over
northwestern Iowa, southern Minne
sota and southern Dakota. Such a
sight Was never Seen here before Men
ahd even boys are offered 2 a day, but
cannot be got. The scarcity of men
is due to the pressure of railroad build
ing going on in the north and west.
On account of the recent heavy rains
and wind storms, necessitating re
shocking and rushing the work to save
from blight, all hands have had to
turn into the fields. It is the wettest
harvest since 1SS8. Since cutting be
gan a week ago Monday three torna
does have swept this entire section,
and rain has fallen in torrents at least
once in every forty-eight Lours. When
the harvesters went into the fields the
splendid stands of grain promised one
of the biggest small grain crops over
produced. Now the farmers will be
glad to save half a crop.
The most sanguine estimate for
wheat is ten bushels to the acre. In
Eome sections rot and half-filled ears
arc complained of, but the greatest loss
is entailed by the lodging of the stalks.
Whole fields are matted and beaten
into the ground beyond recovery. Cdrn
has been loosened in sections where
the storms have been most violent,
but on the whole it still promises it
splendid yield. Harvesting of the small
grain is half over and will be finished
by August 10.
THE DUTY MUST BE PAID;
Important DeeWlon by the I'nlted Stat u
Ronrd of Appraisers.
NEW YORK. Aug. 5. The United
States board of general appraisers filed
a decision in which it ruled that Wal
ter L. Saxon of New Orleans. La., must
pav duty upon a miscellaneous cargo
which left New Orleans in July. 1S98.
on the steamer Espana and which was
brought back to New Orleans by the
same vessel after an unsuccessful at
tempt had been made to land the goods
at Santiago.
Santiago at the time of the shipment
was a possession of Spain, but within
the military possession of the United
States.
Mr. Saxon claimed that no duty at
all should be imposed, as the goods
were of American production and had
not been landed abroad at any foreign
port. The appraisers had precedent in
making their decision. The United
States court had ruled that "the con
quest or occupation of Santiago by the
United States military authorities did
not make that territory a part of the
United States. For tariff purposes it
remained a foreign port."
The appraisers sustained the protest
of the Quong Tuck company and the
Wa Chong company of Port Townsend,
Wash., against the duties assessed
upon what was found to be peanut oil.

T.1E CYCLONE IN H0RIDA.
It Wa the Most UiHaxtroifi Evt r Visitlnjj

RIVER JUNCTION, Fla.. Aug. 5.
The most disastrous cyclone that ever
visited this section of Florida com
pletely annihilated Carrabelle, Mcln
tyr nnd Lanark Inn, sujuth of here,
yesterday: At Ciirrabelh only four
houses remain of a once beautiful and
prosperous tovn. Communicatio:!
from the mayor states that two hun
dred families are without homes or"
shelter and many are completely desti
tute. At Mclntyre only two mill boil
ers mark the place Of the town.
"Lanark Inn," the famous summer
resort, was blown into the gulf.
The Carrabelle, Tallahassee and
Georgia railroad is washed away for a
distance of thirty miles.
A passenger train was blown from
the track for more than 100 yards.
Many passengers were injured, but
their names are unobtainable. Mary
Williams, colored, was killed at Carra
belle. Nunieious others had legs and
arms broken. Daniel Neel of Apa
lacbicola had his back broken and will
not recover.
No fatalities arc reported frOm Mcln

MORE TROUBLE IN CLEVELAND,
Strikers More Uold No-.v that Troop
Have lleen Withdrawn,
CLEVELAND, Aug. 5. In addition
to the attempt to blow up a Jennings
avenue car oil the south side last
night, reports received at liolice hcad-
quarters show that cars were stoned
in various parts of the city, although
so far as learned no one was injured.
On Pearl street, near Myers avenue,
a shower of heavy stones fell upon
Brooklyn car No. 38, smashing the
windows and otherwise damaging the
car. Tlic conductor promptly drew his
revolver and fired three shot In the
direction from when the stones were
thrown.
Three shots were fired through tho
windows of n Pearl and Scoville ave
nue enr, near the Nickel Plate station,
on the west side, and a little later two
rocks were sent crashing through the
windows of the same car. No arrests
were made.
The troops have gradually with
drawn from the city during the past
few days until now not to exceed 500
soldiers remain. Fear is expressed in
many quarters that, as a result of this,
the lawless element will again resume
the outrages that marked the early
stages of the strike.
A!mi.sHion of Cattle to ( nha.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 5. There is
another hitch in the issue of the order
for the admission of 50,000 head of
cattle to Cuba duty free, as deeded
upon by the cabinet some weeks ago.
The order recently was broadened so
as to include high-bred cattle from
any country, but it is now being urged
that high-bred cattle are entirely out
of place in Cuba, as the conditions
there require a small, hardy animal

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5 General
Otis has cabled the adjutant general at
Washington as follows:
"Error cable yesterday. Minnesota
and South Dakota take transport, not
Montana."
The cable of yesterday caused con
siderable dissatisfaction in Minnesota,
as it had previously been announced
that the Minnesota regiment was to
sail next. Inquiries from the war de
partment developed the error.

SPRINGFIELD, 111., Aug. 5 Reisch
Bros., proprietors of a brewery in this
city, averted a strike by granting the
union scale which was demanded by
the engineers and firemen several days
ago. The engineers will receive 52.40
per day for eight hours, whereas they
have been getting $1.70 per day for
twelve hours. The firemen will re
ceive $1.75 for eight hours' work, in
stead of 1.33 for twelve hours.
The reason people don't value our
advice is because we arc so willing to
give it away.

addition to the good intdltB received
on their money. It has been ImiHftible
at times t supply the active European
demand for .Mexican silver securities,
which represent what is ealted the in

predict that the customs revenues will

over tho handsome total of the t

A large amount of foreign capital is
being invested in lands and inin5 and
activity in taking up claims for goU

The number is without precedent in

WASHINGTON; Aug. 5 In Inilucn
tial Catholic quarters here there is
much interest in the progrct of the
plenary council of the clergy from
South and Central America, which has
been in progress at Heme for some
time and is about to t'!o The pre
lates have a hierarchy entirely dis
tinct from that of the United States.
It is lilt inilucntial body in many respects,-
as the Church Is closely related
to the government In many of the
South and Central American countries.
The meeting iil Route brought to
gether all the high church dignitaries
from all these countries. The sessions
have been secret, but the understand
ing here is that the final report is
about to be made and that the re
sults will then reach the public.
It is said that a misapprehension
exists as to the authority which Spain
exercises over Catholic affairs in the
Spanish-American countries. This au
thority was terminated many years
ago nnd today the South and Central
American clergy have their own hier
archy, distinct and independent in
each republic and without and bond'
whatever to Spain.
