THE EUROPEAN OLIVE CROP.
Practically Failure i'm Italy. France
and Spain,

Robert p. Skinner, United States Consul
at Msrseilles. has sent the following re-
port TO the State Department:
The olive crop in Italy, France, and
Spain is practically failure. AS COM
pared with an average crop, it viii hardly
reach so per cent in the opinion of we'll
informed judges. In some sections, the
fruit is still upon the trees, but enough
is known to warrant the expectation of
steady rise in prices. The Italian olives
are the greatest sufferers from the pest to
which existing conditions are due. the
south of France being also affected, and
Spain in some localities.
The damage has been wrought by a fly
known as the Mosca olearia. which de-
posits its egg in the green fruit. grub
is hatched, and this grub destroys the
olive, or at least so Injuries it that the
Oil is very inferior in quality, and is es-
pecially bad for table use.
For some years, edible oils have been
declining in price, a fair average for fifty
years. being 3S cents per ldlogram of %
pounds. Last year, European oils fell to
19 and % cents per kilogram, and Tunis
oils went to even Is cents. Prices have
go far recovered that good local oil is at
3S cents and Tunis oil at IS cents. The
effect of the shortage upon prices of olive
oils for mechanical purposes 10 well
shown by the contract prices arranged for
by the French navy. The oils must be
pure and pass severe tests. Last year, the
contract ran from s11.96 to S1254 per 220
pounds. Contracts for similar oils were
let day or two ago at $19.10 for the same
quantity.
I'm Europe, olive oil is used very gen
orally for the purposes for which lard oil
is employed in America. The upward ten
dency of prices is encouraged by a short
age in the cottonseed crop in America and
a deficient crop OF oleHginous grains in
Africa and India.
Il understand that virtually no effort is
made here to eounteraet the influence of
the olive pest. The operations of the in
sect are regarded as a dispensatien of
Providence, to be accepted in meekness of
spirit. To the lay mind, 1t would seem
that the fly could be successfully fought
with American spraying machines, provfd-
ed an effective chemical combination could
be found to put In the water. These flies
viii be in evidence for some years TO come,
and appear to be good subjects for Ameri-
can ingenuity and enterprise"

per of last week, "you can have no

account for it. The Beers are really
nothing to us; they are not Ger

a race apart in their beginnings,
their lives, their habits, and their
utter ignorance OF the eth cs Of

zsnship. Their success would mean
the closing up OF South Africa
against freedom OF any kind except
the freedom of the Boer to trample
upon every other nationality, white
black or brown. We Germans who
live in England are in the enjoy
ment OF freedom we don't get at
home; the government of England,
the model you set to the world, is a
constant example to those OF us who
believe in constitutional govern
ment; the integrity of your Empire
means the continual advance of Ger.
man commerce, and your strength
is the one great bulwark for Ger
many against the aggressive ambi-

The Popularity of +" Bobs "

One of the secrets OF Roberts sue
cess has no doubt been his personal
influence upon all who come IN con-
tact with him. He has, says writ
er in Pearson's Magazine, never fail-
ed to secure the most loyal and I'M
grudging service from his staff and
subordinates. 1t was no doubt to
his personal ascendancy, so quietly
but firmly exercised, that we may
trace the simple but implicit faith
that all, including his native ser
wants, have reposed in him. All
through the most dangerous eri-
sodes OF the Mutiny he was waited
on quite as a matter OF course even
under the hottest fire. His kitmu'
gar, or native butler, brought him
his meals regularly in the battery at
Delhi; his grooms waited with his
horse wherever ordered, regardless
Of the storm Of shot and shell. In
the middle of the fierce onslaught
OF the Afghans upon the Sherpur,
his bath attendant came to him in
the thick Of the fight and touched
him quietly on the shoulder, with
the simple words, bath ready;"
that was his duty-what was expec
ed OF him, just as he was sure his
master expected to wash even in the
middle Of battle. The most touch
ing devotion to his person was
shown in the Afghan campaign, by
his native orderlies, of whom he had
two Sikhs, two Gurghas, and two
Pathans. They never left him; two
or more followed him wherever he
went, night or day; they had always
the best news Of what was in tie
wind, and if there was any danger
Gus business afoot they turned out
aud kept close to their beloved gen.
eral wherever he might go. If he
got into a tight place, they were
there 10 keep him from harm if they
could; and in one fight tall Sikh
stood in front of him with arms out
stretched to shelter his small chief,
and receive the bullet that might
have endangered Roberts life.-The
