Hay Making Interfersd with.

The continued cloudy. rainy weather

states that one man had out from 20 TO 90
tons, and some hay Is 80 oolored and
blackened as TO be ht only for bedding
or muiching. Most grass that IL left
standing has been benefited, however, by
the rain, and II the weather will admit Of

Consul Ford Warns the State Depart

Consul Ford Warns the State Depart
 ment About Their Importation.
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-United States Consul Ford, at Kingston, Jamaica, learning from American newspapers that Mir. Vanderbilt has imported the mongoose for his estate near Asheville, N. O., has sent out note of warning through report to the state depart ment, and says it will be well for our government to profit by Jamaicas ex- perience and prohibit the importation of the mongoose into the United States.
 He presents the evil effects following the introduction of the animal into India and Jamaca to destroy rats, which infested plantations. They did their work so rapidly that their natural food supply was soon exhausted and they be- gan to prey on all small living creatures. All ground birds were wiped out. All snakes, toads and land crabs, newly dropped calves, young pigs, puppies and game turtles. all fell victims to mongoose, which became much worse pest than the sparrow in America and the rabbit in Australia. As result of the destruction of these small creatures all insects multiplied amazingly until they have become a pestilenee at some seasons and the people of Jamaca now want to exterminate the mongoose.

 ST. HELENA, West Indies, Nov. 13.- ". M. Wilson, governor of the island of St. Helena, tried.to increase the rev enue by eornering certain postage stamps. He induced some of his friends to buy up all the stamps sold at the postoffiee except the shilling, penny, 4 penny and la penny stamps, which were left for the Tublic to use. He told his friends, to induce them to pnt their money in this business. that as soon as he was governor the stamps cornered would never be reissued.

Committed Upon American Citizens.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-The Rev. Dr. c. c. Creegan, district secretary of the American board of commissioners for foreign missions, has received word from the home office of the board in Boston that the treasurer has received SIT, from the United States govern ment being the indemnity paid by Spain as compensation for an outrage com mitted against American citizens and American property in Ponea, one of the group of Micronesian islands in the Southern Pacific ocean in 1888.
 It was many years ago that the Ameri- can board established mission among the native Ponea, a savage race. A church was built and schools were put up and maintained for long time.
 Threats were made to kill the Ameri- can missionaries and their families and they lived in fear of their lives. Strife became so perilous that the Rev. E. T. Doane and his associates were compelled to flee from their homes in the darkness of the night by means of small boats. The hardships endured in the flight proved fatal to Mir. Doane and Miss Fletcher, one of his assitants. became crazy by reason of her terrible experience and has since been an inmate of an insane hospi- tai in Honolulu. After the departure of the refugees, the school and churches and all the buildings of the mission were destroyed by fire.
 At first Spain denied any responsibil- ity in the matter, but was at last forced to admit it as the payment of the indem- nity shows. No attempt has been made to reopen the American mission.

ro.itiast Crisis Continues.

BUENos AYREs Nov. f3.-The politi- cal crisis not only continues but is accen- tuated. It is unlikely that cabinet can be formed unless Senor Roca taeitly consents. A solution of the difficulty may be arrived at today.
 The attitude of the navy and army are such as to indicate that seige will soon be declared. A lot of politicians have been asked to enter the cabinet, but have refused.
 Another suit against Balfour was brought by an Englishman, one Bethel. If convicted of this and other charges pending against him, Balfour's extradi- tion to England may be postponed for two or three years.
 A correspondent in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, sends word that senor Nobili has replied by letter to the minister of foreign affairs repeating in vigorous terms Italy's demands for indemnity to her subjects resident In Brazil and dam aged by the recent revolution.
