the PHILIPPINES CROPS

The Islands DO Not Producs Food
sumcient For the Natives.
Washington, May PA report on
the plant products Of the Philippine
islands issued by the agricultural de-
partment ID authority for the state
Ment that the Philippines, although an
agricultural country, do not produce
enough food for the consumti0n Of its
inhabitants. In order to supply the
deficiency 1t Is the custom to draw
upon other rice producing countries.
notably the French colony Of Cochin
China. No explanation Of this condi-
ton is offered, the report dealing ex-
clusively with the agricultural re-
sources Of the islands as they now
exist. ...5...5..
: One Of the most important food pro-
ducts of the islands is rice, which
forms the staple food Of not only the
native population, but also of the
numerous Chinese inhabitants. Mere
than hundred varieties are grown.
and by planting alternately an early
and late variety two crops year can
be secured. The ordinary price Of
rice in the husk is from 90 to 66 cents
per bushel, while shelled rice bringr
from 80 to IS cents per bushsl. The
annual production Of this commodity
Is about S6,o00, 900 bushels, an amount
far below the actual requirements Of
the population, even when supple
mented by maize, sweet potatoes, ba-
nanas and other native fruits and
tubers In some years the quantity Of
rice imported into Manila from Sal
gon has exceeded $4,000 bushels,
with d value Of nearly $4,000, 900.

THE BUFFALO STRIKES
Another Intimation That the End Is
Near at Hand.

Another Intimation That the End Is
Near at Hand.
Buffalo, May 22.-Everything was
quiet along the docks yesterday, and
few of the striking grain scoopers and
freight handlers were to be seen in the
neighborhood Of their respective head
quarters. .....s.
President Keefe, OF the International
'Longshoremen's association, who ar
rived in town shortly after Saturday
midnight, held several conferences with
the strikers committees, but at a late
hour last night ne was unable to give
an expression Of opinion as to what
the outcome OF these conferences would
be. Mr.. Keefe said that he would not
be surprised II the men were all back
TO work within the next 4S hours, pro-
viding that the contractors lived up to
the concessions made to them abolish
ing all the abuses complained Of with
the exception of the abrogation of the
contracts.
So far as the freight handlers are
concerned, their differences are prac-
tically ended, and the men will prob
ably return to work at once. The
scoopers have ALSO been advised to do
likewise, and the majority of them are
in favor of taking Bishop Quigley's
advice. Some of their leaders talked
of making individual contracts for the
unloading of vessels and working ele-
vators, but this was declared to be
impracticable and impossible by some
of the most prominent elevator pro-
prietors today.

MYSTERIOUS OHIO TRAGEDY.

Mother and Son Murdered and An.
other Son Probably Dying.
Bellefontaine, O., May 22.-Mrs. Ra-
were murdered in their home at Mid
dleburg, this county, Saturday night.
and their bodies nearly cremated in
the house, which was set on fire. Err
nest Austin, younger son, lies at the
point of death in neighbor's house
from bullet wound in the breast.
The crime is shrouded in mystery.
At daybreak Sunday morning Ernest
appeared at the door of the neighbours
house. He was desperately wounded.
He said that early In the morning he
was awakened by rap on the door.
When he went down stairs he was met
by robber, who shot him, killed his
mother and brother and then set fire
to the house to conceal the crime.
Soon after making the statement he
became unconscious. and it is not be.
lieved he can recover.
Notwithstanding the story told by
Austin, the neighbors believe that he
killed his mother and brother and
then shot himself, although there is no
positive evidence on that point. The
Austins were notorious for their quar-
rels, and Ernest was especially high
tempered. A servant who left their
house Saturday evening says the two
men and their mother were then quar-
reling over the property, the mother
declaring that she would on Monday
apply to the courts for settlement.
and Ernest declared that he would
never permit that.

Powers of the Triple Alliance Against
America and England.
London, May 22.-The Daily News
publishes dispatch from The Hague,
supposed to be inspired by William
T. Stead, editor Of the Review of Re-
views, which is in part as follows:
Regarding arbitration the personal
position of the delegates seems to be
this: Germany and the other two
powers of the triple alliance are en-
tirely against it, and Turkey follows
in their wake. Great Britain and the
United States are entirely in favor of
it. Prof. Won Stengel, of the German
delegation, said today: Arbitration is
impracticable when two nations are di-
vided by a vital issue, while in less
important questions it exists already.
France is hesitating, and will prob
ably agree with Russia. Several dele
gates confess that they came to tins
conference unprepared, and have al
ready learned much"

to the effect that the papal delegate
had instructed the bishop of the do

OF the priest of st. Patrick's parish.
The church of st. Patrick, in East st.
Louis, is constantly guarded by the
Irish Pensioners against the entrance
of the newly appointed German priest,
Father Cluse. Leaders of the opposi-
ton to the appointment claimed the
news as signal victory for their
side. The Pensioners are more deter
mined than ever that Vicar General
Cluse shall not enter the church.
