Ready for Them Now.

1t is now some twenty-six or seven
years since the western portions Of
this state and what are now the states
of Dakota were ravaged by the Rocky
mountain locust. Year after year they
came and swept the farms clean of
their crops until farmers abandoned
them and returned to the older and
unmolested sections Of the state, bro
ken in fortune and utterly discourag-
ed. The locusts came in swarms that
darkened the sun and, lighting upon a
field, in a few hours had left it as bare
of vegetation as it was when the har-
row had covered the seed. Every eff
fort to combat the invaders failed, and
the country was practically abandon
ed to them. A few years ago the To-
Gusts again appeared in the state, and
memories of their former visitations
caused general apprehension Of fresh
disasters.
But In the meantime the scientist
had come. The farmer had waited I'M
til the locust came and then unavail-
ingly fought him. The man Of science
came with a store of knowledge gained
from study of the insect in all It's
stages. from the egg to the developed

HAWAIIAN DEBATE.
A few private bills were disposed of

the Ericsson, the Foote and other tor
pedo boats, and the arrival of the tor
peoo fleet will confirm the opinion that
Admiral Sampson intends to force the
harbor on the coming of the troops.
Every man in the fleet is anxiously
awaiting the soldiery, for it is recog-
Dized that no decisive movement is
possible until the troops effect q land
ing.
Everybody is desperately tired Of the
present disheartening conditions The
tedious maneuvers, the easel; IS watch
ing and the eXaSperating inactivity are
telling on officers and men. At no place
are the troop ships more anxiously
watched for than on the hill top, where
Lieut.. Col Huntington's GOO marines lie
in rifle pits under an almost continuous
hail of Spanish bullets.
The Spaniards have fired few shots
since daybreak. Whether the enemy
has been driven back to the city fortif-
cations or have merely retired for the
day cannot be told until darkness has
arrived. The guerrillas show little lik-
ing for the sunlight.
HONORED DEAD.

the Warlike scenes when the flags on

liant Sergeant Major Goode was buried
on the hillside scarcely twenty PAGES
from the spot where he fell last night
The burial service was impressive, as
the men felt that their situation was
desperate and openly said that they ex-
pected to be gradually slaughtered until
the arrival of the troops.
The men freely criticise a policy
which compels them to hold a position
that could be re-taken, they say, by

faintest disposition is manifested to
do otherwise than to fight it out.

have been lying close to the fortifica-
lions all day, taking advantage of the
opportunity to coal.
SMELLING THE SPANIARDS.
The Dolphin arrived late last night
and spent the greater part of the fore
noon in pitching shells into the Spanish
blockhouse, believed to be the rem
devious of the Spaniars, on a hill a
mile and half east of the American
position.

The use of military and naval buttons is
increasing so rapidly that the factories can
scarcely supply their orders. One firm alone
received from a Philadelphia house an order
for 100000 regular United States navy but,

these buttons have been put is to fasten to-
gether three streamers, red, white and blue
One of these, the white. is stamped "U. S. S.

bon is variously marked according to the
choice of the wearer with the name of an
other ship. In this way, whether one lives
in New York, or Boston, Raleigh, or Tex

flavor.
