AMERICAN FRUITS AT PARIS.
Agricultural Department to Collect
For the Exposition.

Washington, Aug. BIN view of the
growing Importance of the fruit indus
try of this country. an especial effort
will be made to make an attractive
showing of fruits at the Paris expo
sition and Director Dodge of the agri-
cultural department, who will have
charge of the agricultural display, has
prepared circular which will be sent
broadcast over the country asking for
contributions to the proposed exhibit.
He says that arrangements are being
made for representative exhibits of
canned preserved and evaporated
fruits, but that especial means will be
taken to maintain during the entire
period of the exposition a display of
fresh fruits of varieties suitable for ex-
port. To accomplish this it will be nee.
essary to provide a supply of choice
specimens of the more durable fruits
(such as winter apples, pears, citrus
fruits, cranberries, nuts, etc), of the
crop of the present season for display
at the opening of the exposition and
until specimens of the crop of next
year are available. 1t is intended that
all the more important fruit growing
districts of the United States shall be
represented in this exhibit and the
active cooperation of growers and
other persons interested is therefore
solicited. The exhibit will be collective
but each contributor will receive the
fullest credit for what he shows and
the same consideration from the jury
of awards that he would have if indI-
vidual space were allotted him. Col
lectionS made by states, horticultural
societies, boards of trade, shipping as
railroad companies, etc, will
have the same consideration as those
from individuals

out and let on what fools they was?
But they didn't. They shut the cellar
up with the hack inside. and never said
a word, only waited for something to
turn up.

wouldn't work. But finally he agreed
TO take the fellow to his place and

him of shamming and ordered him put
in irons. Then the fun began. There
was lot of work on the deck and
wharf. but every man in the crew re-
fused TO lift his hand until their COM
rade was released and given a bed in
the hospital.
Things looked serious and the Off
GERS at once detailed squads of the
Colorado men for duty. Every sailor
was placed in prison that day and night
and taken the next morning before a
courtmartial. Their sentences in some
cases were pretty heavy, but clemency
may be shown if the mutineers behave
well in prison. They'll soon get enough
OF old Bilibid."

Boer Government Not Yet An
swered Chamberlain Proposal.
BOERS ARE DEMORALIZED
FIRST SHOT FIRED WILL MEAN
A NATIVE UPRISING.
Reply to the Proposal of the British
Foreign Secretary Depends Upon
the Approval of the Orange Free
State and the Cape Colony Min
istry.

London, Aug. 1.-THE Johannesburg
correspondent of the Daily Mail says:
The government is awaiting the ap-
prevail of the Orange Free State and
the Cape Colony ministry before reply
ing to the proposal of Mr.. Chamberlain
to submit the franchise controversy to
a joint commission of inquiry. l am in
a position to assert that the first draft
of the Transvaal's answer was a re-
fusal. The second was an acceptance,
conditional on the independence of the
South African republic not being i'm
pugned.
This dependence on Bloemfontein
and the Dutch cabinet at Cape Town is
proof of the chaos reigning in Pretoria.
The leading members of the raad are
opposed to war and accuse President
Kruger of being responsible for the
crisis. More than this, despite the war
preparations, the Transvaal generally
is averse to a conflict
The Cape Town correspondent of the
Daily Chronicle says: Il am convinced
that the first shot fired in Transvaal
will be the signal for a general native
rising. The imperial government, can
assert positively, has been warned ac-
cordingly and is postponing the en-
forcement of the new Basuto hut tax

man who was going down the street. He
has managed to keep his head in love and
financial matters, and they are the two

Two months ago he was a young man

He was in love with young lady living

prevented him from declaring his passion.

lady in question cared for him.
But by one of those curious turns OF

M'FARLAND's EXPLOITS.
Are Highly Spoken of By Comman-
der Sperry.


Washington, Aug. 13.-Following is
the text of Commander Sperrv's re-
port, reciting the exploits of Ensign H.
c. MacFarland, in the vicinity of Ma
Mia:
U. S. S. Yorktown, Iloilo. P. L, June
IL, 1899.

ing coal for which she appears 10
carry about six days supply for active
cruising with frequent chasing.
The Sarnar passed along the west
coast of Panay three times, visited
Catalog on the island Tables once,
Romblon three times. the north coast
Of Sibuyan once, Capiz on Panay twice,
passed along the north coast of Panay
and returned to Iloilo from the north,
having made a complete circuit of Pa
nay, close along shore.
Enclosed herewith is copy of the
commanding officers report of the cap
ture of thirteen vessels. all but one of
which was destroyed. However active
the trade may have been on the west
coast of Panay formerly, l am of the
opinion that the insurgents are mainly
occupied in throwing troops into Ne
gros and Leyte from southwest Luzon
and Panay, and General Hughes is of
the same opinion.
With the intention of breaking up
this traffic. the Samar has been sent
out with the cruising orders communi-
Gated to you in my cipher telegram of
the 18th instant.
The manner in which Ensign Mac
Farland exercises his command is eX-
tremely satisfactory. He is ready, en-
ergetic and makes no requests except
for coal. wood and water. 1t is very
advisable the Springfields photographed
for should be applied at once for the
Samars' Nordenfeldts, but in the mean
time, Ensign MacFarland has made
what he reports as satisfactory temper
airy arrangements, and he aDpers to
have q genius for making things work.
