Mr.. Roberts, director Of the mints,
in speaking OF the war in the Trans
vaal and Its effect on the gold sup
ply, Is quoted as follows: 1.-The
world does not depend upon the
Transvaal for It's stock OF gold. Col
orado will produce more gold In 1900
than all North America yielded ten
years ago and this continent will
yield more next year than the whole
world did ten years ago. Cripple
Creek Is up to the record otthe Trans
vaal five years ago and Cripple Creek
with Alaska and the Klondike will
next year exceed the T~ransvaal pro-
duction of 1877. The golden tide.
though checked for n moment, is
not going to subside."

TERRIBLE STORMS THAT

cial to the Age-Herald by long distance
telephone from Columbia. Tenn, says:
A terrific cyclone, moving in a west
erly direction, struck this place Mt $50
o'clock Monday night and left havoc in
its path.
The northern and western sections Of
the city. populated principally by ne
groes, Were almost entirely swept
away. Fifteen persons are known to

this number will be largely increased
by later reports. The dead are Misses
Florence and Evelyn Farrell. Captain
A. +. Adolette, wife and one son: an
other son and daughter missing; Miss
Kate Forsythe, James Cherry and six
negroes, names unknown.
The cyclone lasted about five minutes
and its path extended about 1000 feet
wide. which is clearly marked by de-
ynstation.
Many houses, including large num-
her of negro cabins, We're blown down
and many others unroofed and other
wise damaged. The surrounding fences

Agricultural Department Tells How to XIII
tnsecta,
The experts of the Agricultural De
partment have discovered a Contagious
disease which can be disseminated by
insects with deadly effect to the pests,
but without danger OF spreading an
epidemic among members of the hui
man race. By close observation IT has
been discovered that many annoying
insects have distemper, some OF high
ly contagious character. BY propagat-
ing these disease germs and spreading
them, so that the insects will be af-
fected, contagion is spread and havoc
follows. Farmers viii be especially in
terested in the announcement that q
disease among srasshoppers similar to
leprosy has been discovered and that
experiments conducted in Mississippi,
Nebraska and Minnesota demonstrate
that II is possible to distribute the
germs in walls through the mail, with
instructions to farmers as to the meth
cd OF using the contents so as to pro-
duce the best results.
The farmer becomes in short time
the manufacturer of his own grass
hopper poison. The germs are placed
in n tumbler of water, n number OF
healthy specimens of grasshoppers Sc
lected. immersed, and afterward fed
upon greens that have been dipped in
the water. The disease rapidly devei-
ops, the grasshoppers are given their
liberty and are permitted to spread the
contagion. The scientists believe that
the method of determination will not
be only eiiicacious in freeing the farm
ers of the harmful grasshoppers, but
that the principle can he adopted with
equal success in driving out other in
sects.

NEW CONGRESSIONAL
APPORTIONMENT

Washington, Nov. 21.-Representa-
tive Hopkins of Illinois, chairman OF
the House committee on census, which
committee will have charge Of the leg
islatiop affecting the apportionment Of
the House, to-day expressed the Opin-
ion that there would be no decided ef-
fort during the next session OF Con-
gress to decrease the congressional rep
resentation Of the southern states be-
cause Of the disfranchisement OF the
negroes. He said that in all probable
ity the subject would be discussed. but
thought that upon the whole the COM
mittee would favor the plan of basing
representation upon the number of in
habitants.
Discussing the general subject Of re-
apportionment. Mr.. Hopkins said:
The committee ON census will meet
during the first week OF the session to
frame bill providing for reapportion-
ment. think Il proposition will be
adopted which Will increase the pres
cnt membership of the House. It has
been suggested that we authorize one
member for every 19S, 900 Inhabitants
That seems to be the ratio that Is in
general favor among members OF the
committee. This proposition would ell.
tail an increased membership OF from
fifteen to twenty.
According to calculations I have
made the reapportionment would add
members to the House from New York.
Illinois and perhaps other states. States
like Nebraska and Maine might lose
members by the proposed law. Some
of the southern states might also suf-
fer from the proposition agreed upon,
although to what extent cannot now be
ascertained."

quire longer time to do the work. l
shall then report on the economic and
physical condition Of the property and
can then speak more freely.
MY hope Is to be able to convince
English capitalists that there are COM
petent American mining engineers and
honest American mining promoters and
that the fact that one mine has proved
n disappointment does not indicate that
there are not other mines Of great val

sentiments into the minds of English

All ask from the newspapers Of the
state is TO give their support to my as

sponsible for the development Of the
Independence, and not to ascribe un-
worthy motives placed on mere rumors
instigated by stock jobbers."
There is scarcely anyone in the dis
trict who knows much about the prop
erty, but who is firm In the belief that
1t is yet In good shape for long and
steady production and that its present
ore reserves can be made to Inst until
development has reached point where
new ore shoots are almost certain to
