In Maryland has been ruined.
The Strawberries have either all been
washed off the Vines or else they have
been SO saturated with water that they
will rot as soon as the sun shines on
them. In other patches the berries
have been washed SO full OF sand that
they will be unit for market
The young corn has also been badly
washed out, and IN some places 1t may
he necessary to plant anothe: crop.
The driving rain has done no good TO

NOW THEY ARE HERE.
MILLIONS OF lOCUSTS APPEAR
IN SOME SECTIONS.
Both the Seventeen Year and Thirteen
Year Species Como from Their Long
Rest Under the Ground-The Most Re-
markable of All Destructive Insects.
where They wnl He Worst.

The year 1894 is peculiarly unfortu-
nate one for the farmers, in that 1t Is
the year for the appearance of both
the seventeen-year and the thirteen
year locusts. There will be no failure
on the part of the insects to carry out
the program, either, as both armies
have already begun to arrive after a
rest since 1877 or 1881 according to the
species. The floods in the West and
the untimely cold weather in the East
have tended to defer the coming OF
these buzzing armies, but in almost all
OF the States they are beginning to
form their lines of battle, and the peo-
pie apprehend the beginning of the
siege. All OF the places overrun
with these two armies in 1877 and
1881 are alive with their songs or
will be in a week or two, since all
along the route of their last inva-
sion they planted their eggs in the
branches of the trees. The Govern
ment Entomologist's report of the To-
Gusts depredations during those sea-
sons are used as horoscopes in which
to read this years probabilities.
Accordingly. the l7-year brood will
invade the whole northern part OF the
country, especially in certain sections,
beginning in the vicinity of Schuyler
vile and Fort Miller, N. Y, along both
sides of the Hudson, extending into
Connecticut, across New Jersey, into
Pennsylvania striking Indiana, Michi-
gan, Maryland, District of Columbia,
Virginia, and North and South Caro-
lima. The records Of 1925, lS43, 1860,
and especially OF 1877 are abundant,
stating the severity of the plague in
all of those localities, and old farmers
can remember their trails in those
years.
The dividing line between the two
armies is about latitude 3S degrees ex-
cept in Illinois, where it takes turn
north, including that State in the ter
ritory which the l3-year brood will
visit Southern Illinois, Missouri,
Louisiana, Arkansas, Indian Territory,
Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Geor-
gia, North and South Carolina and
Texas will all feel the Southern brood
severely.
Just how destructive the Insect is
seems to be disputed question. The

Sinks q Chinese Transport In an En-
gagement.
Other Nations Concerned.

Oriental civilization is to be put to
the test of modern warfare, and before
they are through, Russia, France,
Germany, and England herself may
be involved. Trade rivalry will have
something to do with 1t, but territorial
extension more. A dispatch received
from Nagasaki, on the southwest side
of the Island of Kioo-Sioo, Japan, says
that a detachment of Corean troops, at
the instigation of the Chinese resi-
dent, attacked the Japanese garrison
and were defeated. A later telegram
says that a Japanese cruiser and q
Chinese transport have been engaged,
and that the cruiser sunk the transport
The British consul has received a tele-
gram from the British charge 'atfaires
at Toxic stating that the Japanese
have undertaken to regard Shanghai
as outside of the sphere of operations.
A special to Bleecher's News Agency
from Yokohama states that the Core
ans and Chinese engaged in battle
with Tingsis rebels, and q large num-
Der were killed. 1t is reported that
the Corean king has been kidnapped by
the Japanese. The Chinese Consul at
Nagasaki has ordered all Chinese to
leave their homes. Eight Japanese
