PROPOSED PEANUT TRUST.
The Option on Virginia Plants Ex-
pfrcs. But May BE Renewed.


Norfolk, Va, June 2.-The options upon
the peanut cleaning plants in Virginia Sc
cured by Charles E. W. Smith, of New
oYrk, who seeks 10 form trust expired
yesterday. Mr.. Smith has however. asked
for another extension to June Is. The
promoters state that he will be able to
close the deal if given the extension. and
although the cleaners generally are grant
ing his request they appear Indifferent as
TO whether or not the combination is
formed. This is' due to the fact that be-
cause of the active demand and advancing
market the business has been this season
very profitable.
perhaps, is very strong, and it is stated
that fancy farmers stock will bring 3-4
cents pound in this market. Some clean
ers have again raised their prices and it is
probable that farmers stock will advance
in sympathy when this becomes known in
the country. Well-informed dealers say
that only five or six thousand bags OF Vir
ginia farmers goods are held here by COM
mission merchants, and the comparatively
high prices recently prevailing have drain
ed the country districts of stock. The tax
ings of the trade are large and in some
quarters much higher prices are expected.
When the country Is prosperous, the con-
sumption of nuts, dealers say, is large, and
peanuts have gone out from here in a
stream for some months. The new crop
is five months away and some operators
say that there is not three months sup

AN EXAMINATION OF
,LIFE-SAVING DEVICES
Reindeer Hair as a Substitute
for Cork.
Test Of New Gun for Throwing
Shot-Line.
ed by the Secretary of the
Treasury.

The board annually appointed by the
Treasury Department to examine new
methods Of marine life saving has made a
report to the department on its investiga-
tions in 1899. At a series of meetings re-
Gently held in Boston. the committee ex-
amined models and descriptions of forty
five new life-saying appliances. AS is
usually the case, only a few of these
proved to be worthy of serious considera-
tion, for the needs OF the life-saving ser
vice have always furnished an attractive
opportunity for cranks Nearly every year
one or more designs for an improved life
boat are submitted for the inspection of
the officers of the Life Saving Service, but
it is a remarkable fact that the life
boat now used on our coasts is very simi-
lar to the boat invented by an Englishman
century or more ago. This year the
committee examined several designs for
improving the life-boat but none OF them
seemed worthy.
The committee was farorably impressed
with a new kind OF life-saying buoy. man
ufactured from the hair OF reindeer and
test OF the buoy is ordered to be made
on Lake Huron in the Thirteenth Life
saving district. This material is said to
be equally buoyant whether wet or dry,
and II is more durable than cork. II may
come into general use in the manufacture
OF life-preservers.
One OF the most interesting devices sub
mitted 10 the committee this year was ap-
parently al first sight a crank invention.
but upon examination IL was decided TO or
der an official test. This is n serpentine
boat. so called by its inventor. who lives
at Jamaica. y. Y. The inventor describes
his device as moving rapidly with sDIral
movement, backward as we'll as forward.
He claims that this remarkable craft can
be driven swiftly over the surface of the
ocean 10 reach a wreck. and that it can
be used with equal facility on the beach.
An official test viii be made at Jamaica
Bay, where the inventor says he has rsed
the machine successfully.
The committee decided to adopt a rope
throwing device as a part of the regula-
fion life-saving psraphernalia- This con-
sists OF gun for throwing a rope over a
wreck and is so light Tint IL can be ad-

CANNON WITH A HISTORY.
Antique Ordnance to Be Recovered
From Fort McHenry.

St Michael's, Nd, June AT Fort Nc
Henry, Baltimore, there are several old
cannon which belong to citizens of Talbot
county. they having been removed in 1861
by United States troops when they took
possession of the Easton Armory. Two of
the cannon were bought by a private citi-
zen in 1912 to be used in the protection of
st. Michaels, which was attacked by the
British, and are the identical ones that
drove the British out of Miles River. ia
cob Gibson was the purchaser of the guns
in Cecil County. where the guns of the
frigate Constitution we're being cast. and
were mounted on Parrots Point. The other
two guns were given to the Easton artil-
lery company by the State, and we're
mounted at Fort Stokes. remains OF which
are still to be seen ON the Avon a short
distance from Easton Point.
The guns were all 6-pounders. There
was also a little brass swivel gun, which
was cast in Austria, and which was taken
by the Turks from the Austrians. and later
played a conspicuous part in the Medter-
ranean piracies previous to the years lS03
1904, and 1905, when ii was taken by the
Americans in the Tripolitan war. 1t ulti-
mately fell into the hands of Commodore
Kennedy, then a midshipman in the United
States Navy, who presented it to r. H.
Goldsborough. and at the time 1t was taken
away 1t belonged to the late William
Goldsborough, of Myrtle Grove. An effort
is being made TO have these ancient pieces
OF ordnance returned, and St. Michael's
wants the two guns which played such a
prominent part in the safety OF the town
during the British raid in 1872

MATAAFA'S DESTINY
UNDER DISCUSSION
A Conference With the Joint
High Commission.
The Dethroned King Assured Of q
Safe Return to His People.
An Embarrassing Position for the
American and British Officials at
Apia-Dr. Self Arrives.

Apia. May 20, via San Francisco, June 2.
Everything has been quiet here since the
last mail. On April 90 Admiral Kautz and
Captain Stuart addressed a letter to Ma
taafa notifying him that a Joint High COM
mission had been appointed and was on its
way to Apia with power to settle all con-
troversies and suggesting that to avoid
further usless conflict, Mataafa and his
people keep beyond certain lines. The let
ter was delivered by two Catholic priests.
Mataafa replied, agreeing to the suggestion
only on condition that he had assurances
that the Consuls of the three powers con-
CURED. To this the naval officers replied
sharply. regretting that Mataafa had not
seen fit to accept their generous offer, and
stating that unless he and all his people
were outside prescribed line by a certain
time they would open fire on him at s
O'Clock on the morning of April 26. To
this Mataafa replied. agreeing to the con-
ditions. but regretting that the Consuls hal
not Joined in the agreement. Since this
agreement there has been no fighting. and
practically none since April %. Following
the death of Lieutenant Lansdale. of the
Philadelphia, Admiral KautZ abandoned all
aggressive fighting. confning himself to
maintaining his position. Captain Stuart
of H. NJ. S. Tauranga, however, having Sc
cured 4 large quantity CT arms from Aus
tralia, was preparing to make aggressive
fighting with the aid OF the ''friendlies,"
but the Badger arrived on May ii. and the
three Commissioners Immediately took
control of affairs.
The Commissioners established headquar-
ters at the International Hotel and sum-
moned before them a number of officials
and others supposed to be able to give
them a clear idea of the situation. On
May 10 they sent a letter to Mataafa no.
tifying him of their arrival and inviting
him to come before them. They guaran-
teed him safe return to the place from
whence he came. Mataafa replied, accept
ing the offer, and he is expected tomorrow.
The impression prevails here that the at
titude of the Commission put American
and British officers in a rather embarras
sing position. The naval officers have
proclaimed Malietoa Tanu king, saluted
him with twenty-one guns, received him
with honors on their vessels, made war
ON Mataafa, and now they have boats
crews for Mataafa. receive him with hon
ors, and guarantee his safe return-in ef-
feet, accept conditions from him.
The Philadelphia is under orders 10 sail
for San Francisco within a day or two.
The American naval force, which will then
be left here. is the armed transport Bad
ger and the collier Brutus.
| Dr. Solf, the new president of the mu-
nicipal council of Apia, arrived here about
two weeks ago. He has not yet assumed
| the duties of his Office, preferring TO wait
for the arrival of the Commissioners. He
has conducted himself with great discre-
! ton and has made very favorable i'm
| preston.

SUICIDE OF AN EDUCATOR.
A School Teachers Body Found
Hanging in n MIL.

Syracuse. June 2.-The body of Frank j
House. for seven years principal of the
Fayetteville High School, was found by a
searching party hanging in the garret of
deserted mill near the village.
Mr. House had acted stragely OF late.
He left his home early yesterday afternoon
and as he did not return, his wife caused
a searching party to be organized. His
manner OF suicide was ingenious. He
placed rubber tubes in the stopper of a bot
tie, and connected the other end in his
nose. Ingeniously he arranged a moose
about his neck in such a manner that when
he became unconscious from the chloro-
form he would fall forward and the moose
would strangle him.
House has recently had a slight disa-
greement with the school trustees. He was
81 years old. respected citizen, and mem

POISONED AT A CHURCH FAIR.
Many People Made Ill by Eating Ice



Cream.
Eastport, L. l., June 2.-Fifty persons in
this and nearby villages wers poisoned by
eating ice cream at church festival We'd
nesday night. and from midnight until day
light there was no rest in the neighbor-
hood. No fatalities have been reported,
and it is believed all will recover. The fes-
tival was under the auspices of the Ladies'
Aid Society of the Methodist Church here
musical and literary programme preced-
ed the serving of refreshments, when ice
cream and strawberri IS were provided in
abundance. The cream was homemade and
of two varieties. vanilla and chocolate.
The festival was over by II O'Clock. and,
laughing and chatting. the crowd sought
their homes. At midnight came the first
alarm. and before the first physician had
been summoned from his bed dozen more
came. All Of the sufferers gave the same
symptoms, the most prominent OF which
were violent pains In the stomach. In some
cases whole families were stricken.
In the home OF E. W. Penny, agent on
the Long Island Railroad, several were i'll,
and Mr.. Penny sent his daughter. Eva, six
teen years old, on her bicycle for DR.. B. S.
Rogers. The way was dark and lonesome.
but the girl set out on her wheel Before
she could reach the physicians house she
was taken violently i'll. but continued her
journey and arrived in fainting condition.
DR.. Rogers carried her indoors, where she
managed to gasp out the seriousness of her
errand. She recovered after a while and
insisted on returning home. though on the
way she was forced to rest several times
DR.. Rogers hurried to the village and
spent the rest of the night hard at work
At daylight he found nearly all his patients
recovering, but NJ. F. Penny. his wife,
daughter, and two sons were still in a se-
rious condition. They improved during the
day
1t was ascertained today that only those
who had eaten the vanilla ice cream were
taken i'll. Dr. Rogers and others making
the investigation examined the fiavoring
extract from which it had been made. and
pronounced it all right. They then direct
ed their attention to the cans in which the
| cream was placed to keep cold, and found,
it is said, that, while the can which con-
tained the chocolate cream was clean and
well secured the one in which the vanilla
| cream was packed was rusted and corrod-
| ed on the inside. This, it Is believed. caus-
ed the epidemic.
Who is responsible for the condition Of
the can is not known. Unless a death
should occur from the mysterious Illness
it is not probable that the investigation
will be pushed further.
