AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT NEEDS
Secretary Wilson VIII Ask For Increased
Appropriations.

Secretary Wilson, OF the Agricultural De-
partment, will In his annual report ask
Congress to make a material increase In
tho appropriation for at least three
branches of the work OF his department.
These are the bureau Of animal indus..y,
the farmers bulletins and The weather bn-
reau.
The Secretary says the facilities Of the
bureau Of animal industry for the inspec-
tion Of meat intended for foreign shipment
are overtaxed, and that the experiment al
ready made by the bureau In the shipment
Of butter to England should be followed
up by more work In this line. He claims
that the shipments already made have pro-
duced exeellcnt results. as shown by the
fact that a representative of English Arms
has recently been in Iowa buying up all
the available butter supply for export.
There Is a constantly increasing demand
for the farmers bulletins, and 1t Is the Sec
retary's purpose, IL he secures the neces-
sary funds, not only to increase the circu-
latfon of the documents, but to largely In
crease the range Of subjects covered.
Mr.. Wilson thinks there should be sew

THOUSANDS DROWNED,
From 10000 to 10000 Lives Lost b,
Floods In China.


The steamer Victoria brings news OF the
most disastrous floods that have visited
China for many years. Sixty villages near
Tung Chou, containing over 80, 1000 inhabit-
ants, have been destroyed by floods, and
the people drowned or forced to fee. There
Is no means OF finding out bow many thou
sands have been drowned, but the number
Is estimated by Chinese authorities at from
Is, 200 to 20. 1000.
The flooded district Is within twelve
miles OF Pekin, the capital OF China. As a
rule, Chinese officials make very little stir
when a calamity like this happens. but the
proximity Of the disaster has resulted In its
being brought to the attention Of the EN-.
peror. who has ordered that all possible re-
lief be given. Survivors from the villages
nearest Pekin have been allowed such shell
ter as they can find in the city walls, but
thousands are without protection against
the rain, which continues to fall.
The floods have greatly damaged a large
number OF estates belonging to Pekin
mobiles. Tho unusual rains began July 80
and continued until August Is. The crops
In the flooded district were destroyed.
Earlyin September high officials OF Pekin
and Tien-tsin suddenly forbade the slaugh-
ter Of cattle, their object being to appease
the wrath of the gods IND stop tho rain.
The result was to cut off the entire meat
supply, which led foreign consuls to pro-
test aud to report the situation to the
foreign ministers at Pekin. 1t is claimed
that the action Of the officials constitutes u
violation OF the treaty rights.

CANADIAN VILLAGES WIPED OUT.
Two Women and Two Children Perish in
a Forest Fire.

Two Women and Two Children Perish in
a Forest Fire.
Three Canadian villages, Casselman,
South Indian and Cheney, nave been swept
away by forest fires. The inhabitants Of
Casselman, about 500 In number, are
huddled together on the rocks in
the river and are without sufficient
clothing and have nothing to eat.
Casselman included about one hundred
houses, n lumber and q grist mill, a .furni-
ture factory and several other establish
ments of importance. All these have been
destroyed. At South Indian, a population
of 500 is homeless. Only three or four
houses are still standing.
Four bodies have been recovered near
South Indian. They are those of Mrs. Lee
vielle, Miss Stiles, her sister and Mrs. Lee
vielie's two children. one an infant, the
other twelve years old. The ONE rushed
from their house to escape to the clearing,
but the smoke surrounding them, they lost
their way and ran into the flames.
The forest fires spread rapidly along the
Canadian boundary, and jumped across in
to North Dakota. Hundreds Of thousands
OF dollars worth OF timber has been burned.
Settlers fought in bands to save their
homes.

Serious State of Affairs in New Orleans.
New ORLEANS, La. (Special).-The fact
that nearly 100 new victims were reported
from the yellow fever stricken districts OF
The South shows that the spread Of the
,~ontagion has not been stopped. In this
,ity there were twenty-four new cases and
three deaths. In Biloxi there were twenty
our cases and two deaths. In Edwards
there are twenty-nine new victims of the
disease. One death occurred there. Mobile
reports six new cases and one death. There
were five new cases In Scranton, seven In
Clinton and three In Ocean Springs, max
ing in all ninety-eight new cases and seven
deaths.
Although all these new cases were re-
ported, the most serious development was
the condition OF affairs caused by the quar-
antine regulations which lave resulted
from the panic. So serious is the situation
that 1t is the intention Of the State Board of
