When the prize money from the
war with Spain Is distributed tie
men in our navy who did the mos,
service, will get the smallest amount.
It is estimated that Admiral Samp-
SON will receive 500, 600, Dewey
$1,000 and Schley $4,000. The
captains Of the ships which assisted
in the destruction of Cervera's
aeet will get 400 each, or ~
much as Schley, who did the bulk
Of the fighting, and At the time wss
in command Of the squadron, while
the men behind the guas will get
from $50 to $500. Some of the
captains engaged in blockadiny
duty OF Cuba will get - much -
Dewey@and more than Schlsy. The
prize money items Of the war were
the battle Of Manila. the battle with
Cervera's feet and the Cuban
blockade. The latter OF these were
far and away the most profitable.

Al Atlanta Of the health officers OF
the South Atlantic aud Gulf States,
20 draw up rules and regulations rs
to the transportation Of freight In
the event Of quarantine. The South
had suffered 60 much from the in
corruption OF business The previous
fall that it was desired 20 avoid
this misfortune . second time. es-
peciaIly in. view OF the fact that
sanitary progress had made 90 great
an advance OF late that there is no
difficulty or danger in carrying on
trade with q country where . con-
tagious disease exists, II only the
necessary precautions IN the matter
Of disinfection are observed. Thus
the outbreak of the plague in
Hamburg and italy some years ago
did not in the slightest degree in
terrupt commerce. nor were anv
evil effects felt from this commune
cation, becase sensible sanitary and
disinfecting precautions were taken.
The Atlanta conference reached =
unanimous conclusion on this SUBJ
ject, and promulgated q number
Of rules and regulations, known ~
The Atlanta convention. to which
all the Southern States bound them
selves. The most important Of
these rules were those bearing upon
tue transportation Of freight from a
city which has been guaranteed
against. All freight was divided
into four classes. The first class
including all dry articles, was de-
clared safe and transportable any
where without any conditions what
ever; class 2 required mele out
ward disinfection, class 8 . COM
plete d;sinfection, while class 4, in
GLIDING only bedding and household
goods, was retarded as dangerous
and not to be transported, whether |
or not.
As the United States Marine |

established by the quar-
lntines is thus lower under the
rise sanitary regulations of the
Atlanta convention. This is q
move, and III important one, in the
way Of preventing quarantine from

New Rice Crop Situation.

While certain local reports con-
corning the new rice crop are un-
favorable. still the production Of
the United States will probably in
exceed that OF any previous year.
II no untoward event occurs during
the harvesting period this result
will be obtained in Louisiana alone.
As to the course Of the market
during the current season, the
opinion is gaining ground that full
values will prevail. Optimistic -
this may appear It il more than .
possibility. - the opening up to
Cuba, and other West Indian Is
lands gives promise Of . greatly in
creased demand for the American
product. -Grocery World.
The statistical situation Of rice
ID, Is far - We can see, . strong
one. There is no surplus, and the
domestic crop should. therefore,
bring In equivalent to the full cost
Of foreign rice plus the duty. This
price, however, cannot be obtained
except rice be held back awaiting
m actual demand for it, which Is
sure to come later on. The greater
majority Of our farmers, on account
of circumstances which, very un-
fortunately for them, they can
neither prevent nor contfol. are M

The Promise OF the Crops


The crop outlook is always {
serious question with MS of Louisi
ana, at this time of the year
This is essentially an agriculture
State, and her prosperity, az ,
consequence depends on the charac
ter of the harvest. Of course
other factors besides excellent crol
yields figure in the business calcu
lations, as, for instance. satisfac.
tory prices, but the first considera-
ton is good yield of the staple
productions.
Louisiana is not a single crop
State, but has several staple pro.
auctions which vie with each other
for the first place among her in
dustrles. Cotton, sugar. and rice
are the leading money-producins
crops, and a good yield CT these
three staples are essential to a
prosperous business season.
According to every account, all
three of these crops will show
good yields this year. Of cotton
we are promised an unusually large
yield-in fact, if the official
authorities are to be believed, the
crop will be phenomenal. 1t will
take phenomenal. yield to enable
cotton producers to make ends
meet with present prices; hence
to cotton industry is quite as anxi-
GUS for an Improvement in price
as for liberal yield.
The sugar crop promises one Of
largest. if not actually the largest,
crop On record. The weather
since the drouth of June has been
about as favoroble as it could we'll
have been; hence the canes have
not only recovered the ground
lost early in the season. but no0
grinding with . large
tonnage. All that il now needed
is cooler weather to superinduce
Fortunately, there is
not only promise of a large crop,
but the outlook of prices encourage
ing. All things considered the
season soon to open ought to be
one of the most prosperous the
Louisiana sugar industry has ex-
in many years.
The rice crop according TO all
accounts, will be = large one when
with the crops of the
.wo preceding seasons. Not only
he yield plentiful, but the quality
Is good, and, better still, there Is .
good consumptive demand, which
Keeps up q satisfactory range of
prices.
All things considered, the bust

% be q prosperous one.--Pica-
