have a remedy several times more

here today frsm the Morgan steam
ship company, stating that they
would continue the service TO
Brownsville ct the present rats
that is, forty per cent increase over
the old tarif-provided the mer-
chants mere would agree to patron
izs them. From this, itseems that
the company's withdrawal is due
to the fact that much Of the
Brownsville traffic comes by
schooner, instead Of by the Morgan
steamer. as il seems improbable
that those merchants who own
sehoonsrs will cease to employ
them, in favor of the Morgan COM
pany at an increase of forty per
cent over former rates, it looks as
If the steamer would be discontin-
ued. The final decision is not yet
known, but it is not likely that
this ultimatum will be agreed to.
In that event, the local trade will
have to seek other means Of trans
portation. There has been some
correspondence between loeal busi-
ness men and New Orlear parties
concerning the formation of a stock
company to purchase and operate a
small steamer between the two
cities. 1t is also possible that ar
rangements may be made to en-
ploy the steamship Cumberland,
which is now bound for this port
from Galveston.

From the time he first starts out to

YIELD OF lHR PACIFIC.
Everything from Wheat to Pepper
and q Host OF Things Found
Nowhere Else.

Considered from the point Of view
Of what grows In them-which Is,
after all, the point OF view Of most
people OF to-day-the islands OF the
Pacific present everything from the
wheat of Argentina 10 the pepper Of
Guiana, and host of things found
neither in the tropics of South Amer
ica. nor in the hot heart OF Africa,
nor elsewhere, save within their own
abnormal spheres. Beginning with the
wheat and live stock and the ordinary
edibles and utilities grown In Aus
tralia, Tasmania and New Zealand.
there is a rapid multiplication Of
strange and unusual products as the
zone of output moves north and west.
The Dutch East Indies are like the
northern regions OF South America,
putting forth the best coffees from
Java that the coffee world affords,
the nutmeg which favors mems milk
punches and women's baked apples,
the camphor that cures wives head
aches, the pepper that supplies taste
to the far-gone palate, the ginger that
brings tears to the eyes Of the small
boy and balm to his suffering midriff.
From the same region comes also the
valuable teak TO calk ships, and upon
which much OF the future merchant
marine Of the South Pacific is likely
to depend. From Java and Sumatra,
up to the Philippines and Formosa,
Is the chief source OF the worlds sup
ply Of straw for hats, Of ropes where
with criminals are hung or sails set,
OF mattings for floors instead Of car
pets.
Eastward from the coast is the
home Of the cocoanut and pineapple,
and the breadfruit, which does not
endure exporting, to say nothing OF
the universal banana. Along the
shores of the farther islands the ma
tives and the Chinese, who from time
immemorial have been invaders,
gather pearl shells and the long,
Shiny snails, called beche-de-mer, one
Of TIE most popular courses on the
tables of the we'll to do in China. In
choice spots among all the islands,
spots becoming constantly less dis
coverable, the oriental food hunters
find the delicate birds nest, for which
mandarins and financial potentates Of
the Mongolian kingdom pay $3.50 per
pound that their cooks may make
them soups from 1t. There are min
eral, metal and timber resources as
yet little more exploited than those
in the Philippines. There are possi-
blDties Of agricultural cultivation,
which have not been sounded save IN
the southern islands, where John Bull
has put the aborigine beneath his
solid foot and veutured to transform
the semitropic regions into the like
ness of his home country. Tobacco IL
growing richly in most of the larger
islands, and cotton has been tried
with such success that the South Sea
Island product is a considerable fac
tor in the cotton market price lists.
Some sanguine prophets look to a
time when this cotton crop Of the Pa
cifc will be a serious competitor with
the southern states.-Ainslie's Maya
