AERIAL TORPEDOES TO BE USED IN WAR
American BotanUi Finds In Guate
mala an Ant Which Makes War
Upon the Destructive
Cotton Weevil
WASHINGTON, May 27. Several mat
ters of Importance were conmderel at the
cabinet meeting today. It, was decided,
on the suggestion o' Secretary Moody, that
hereafter the president or tbe Navy de
partment would entertaid appeals frcra ap
plicants for admission to Tlis Naval acad
emy at Annapolis rom the decision of the
medical examining board.
Heretofore It has been a practice of such
applicants as were declared by the medical
board to be physically disqualified to carry
their cases to the president or to ths Navy
department In ths hope of having the de
cision of the board overruled.
Secretary Ta't presented some of the
reasons far bringing to, the United States
ot a delegation of between forty and fifty
high-class educated Filipinos. The better
class of Filipinos felt that In the exhibit
of natives at the St. Louis exposition the
population of the Islands was not repre
sented fairly, as the Filipinos at ths fair
were composed largely of representatives
of the wild and uncivilised tribes.
Enemy of Boll Weevil.
The Department of Agriculture today an
nounced that an ant had been found In
Ouatemala that la an enemy of the boll
weevil. It will be Immediately introduced
Into the cotton states. The greatest s'g
nlflcance Is attached to the discovery,
which was made by O. F. Cook, the bot
anist In charge of tropical agricultural in
vestigation of the bureau of plant industry.
Cabled Instructions have been sent to
him to report Immediately to tho depart
ment what asslstancs he needs in the way
of men and money.
During a trip In Central America last
year Mr. Cook discovered a cotton grown
by Indians which gave evidence of being
immune from the raids of the boll weevil
and on order from the department he
latef began an Investigation In certain
points In Guatemala and Mexico.
Mr. Cook's Investigations have been In
more or less accessible regions in the prov
ince of Alta Vena Pas, Guatemala. The
weevns are present mere, but tbe Inves -
ligations show that they are unquestion
ably kept in check by ths presence of an
active enemy In the shape of large red
dish brown ant,
Mr. Cook's Investigations show that these
ants spread themselves over fields of cot
ton four or five to a plant and that they
are constantly engaged In the destruction
of the boll weevils.
Aerial Torpedoes far War.
The attention of the military and naval
experts here, who have been closely fol
lowing the developments of the war, has
been attrscted to tbe fact that on July 29
the prohibition Imposed by The Hague con
ference upon the discharge of aerial tor
pedoes from balloons or flying machines
will expire by limitation. It was with'
tbe greatest difficulty that the powers
represented at The Hague conference,
through their military delegates, man
aged to reach an agreement upon the
rules governing war and this particular
section was fought over, although It is
ons of the few which the United States
government accepted without reservation.
Te make easier the reaching of an a gr ea
rn. ut as to tne use of aerial warships it
was determined that the rule should be
tried for a period of five years and that
period of time expires In July.

MANUFACTURERS REPORT IMPROVEMENT
Ra'.lra7 Earnings for. Month of May
Slightly Behind, bnt Foreign.
Commerce Shows m Gain
at This Port.
NEW YORK. May 27. R. O. Dun ft Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will say;
Retail trade Is stimulated by seasonable
weath-tr and the industrial outlook is
brighter on the wlio.e, although adverse
factors 'havo appeared. The big dry goods
auction sale opened with an unexpectedly
large attendance and good prices were se
cured. It Is particularly gratUylng to nots
thai retailers, rather than Jobbers, have
mads most of the purchases, thus providing
prompt distribution into consuming chan
nels throughout the country. Manufactur
ing lines report a slight Improvement at
woolen mills and shoe lactorles, and, while
there is more Idle cotton machinery. It Is
worthy of note that the lust Fall River
statement showed very little reduction In
dividends.
Railway earnings thus far reported for
May fall 1.1 per cent short of the same time
last year, but foreign commerce at this
port for the last week shows gains of $1,637,
200 in exports and 149.645 In Imports.
It is Increasingly difficult to find en
oouranlnu conditions Dertalnlna to the Iron
and steei Industry. Ptircliuses are small .
and frequently effected at further conces- j
slons, although it Is difllcult to find dell-
niteiy lower quotations, except ror nig iron,
which now averages from 15 to $S a ton
cheaper than at the corresponding date
last year. Much structural work Is under
negotiation and there is constant hope that
substantial contracts will be placed, but
thus far the tonnage is small and condi
tions unsatisfactory.
' Considerable export business is under con
sideration. This branch of the Industry
will need to expand materially If domestic
conditions continue quiet, or the liberal
output of pig Iron will produce an unde
sirable accumulation of stocks.
Textile markets have Improved to soms
extent the last week, conditions being not
ably favorable for retail trade, while the
orders for woolens and worsteds Increased
more than the most sanguine manufac
turers anticipation, cotton mills have fur
ther curtailed production, and In a few
cases quotations at first bands are slightly
lower. A better volume of business is re
ported In carpets.
Although packers' hides are active and
firm, tanners discriminate In favor of late
saltings, which is causing some accumula
tion of the less desirable qualities. Im
ported hides are steady at the recent de
cline, arrivals being promptly absorbed.
leather Is quiet. Returns as to the New
England footwear situation are Irregular.
Failures thla wsek numbered 226 in the
I'nited States, against ) last year, and
17 in Canada, compared with 7 a year ago.
WINTKR 'WHEAT SHOWS GAIN
Business Generally Shows Improve
ment, Although Behind Last Year.
NEW YORK, May 27,-Bradstreet 'a to
morrow will say:
The situation is rather mora lrrniiav
Distributive trade, stimulated by better
weather In some sections, has Improved,
but Is still behind a year ago. Cereal crops,
particularly winter wheat, show improve
ment, but cotton reflects drought by condi
tions in the south Atlantic and vulf u,i.
while good reports come west of the Mis
sissippi. The Industrial sltustlon is hardly
so satisfactory, a slowing down being notsd
In many leading industries; the number of
Idle persons is growing and unskilled labor
shows In some seel Ions a woeful lack of
foresight and knowledge of real conditions.
Current railway earnings continue to
show declines from a year sgo. .detailed
telegrams from western markets show a
livening up of distributive trade, liotter
weather Is stimulating retail demand at
the south, but Is the northwest rains at
some msrkets havs been unfavorable to
current distribution. The rather better
tone noted In eastern leather and shoe
markets continues this week.
I'ullnees in ths iron trade is responsible
for a further weakening In pla Iron. It
Is very generally a buyers market, but
values ere low and third and fourth quar
ter requirements will soon hsvs to be con
sidered. Finished products are rather
uleter, although there Is soms business
ulna st ths west in light rails at reduc
tions and in bars for the use of car builders.
The copper market has moved lower this
