inc he found that his melons had III
been stolen and the vines piled up
near the middle of the yard. But near
the heap of vines he picked up a gold
watch key and a seal. These he laid
away. and at the hotel some three
miles distant, he posted a little paper,
which read;

The war department has determined
that the needs Of the service In the Phil
ippines call for the construction and In
stallation at Manila of n modern Ameri-
can ice-making and refrigerating plant.
Orders have been issued from Washing
ton for the shipment from the Pacific
coast of the necessary machinery and
supplies for this purpose. On the trans
port Sheridan, which sails from the Sound
Tuesday next, will go Mai. J. A. Roudiez,
quartermaster in the volunteer army.
who will take charge of the plant and
install 1t at Manila.
Many advantages will be derived from
the installation of the new plant at
Manila, in the opinion of army officers
Just now the troops suffer from scare
ity of fresh meat. The army under Gen.
Otis has to depend largely for its fresh
beef on Australian markets. II Is OBJ
difficult to keep the meat fresh any con-
siderable length of time. With the IN
stallation OF the new machinery II Is be.
lieved a great change VIII be prousht
about.
One Of the benefits to be derived from
the new plant will be that fresh beef can
be frozen and shipped by ran 70 remote
advantage will be the manufacture of
nee whn W al Se Mana to sh
benefit of fever patients especially.
1t is more than possible that shipments
of beef on the hoof may be made from
this city when facilities have been estab-
lished at Manila for the preservation OF
the meat by the refrigerating process.
1t is believed that beef cattle VIII stand
shipment from Seattle to Manila as well
or even better than horses. With many
transports on the Pacific, either owned
or under charter to the government, 1t
is not believed that shipments from the
Sound to the Philippines will be discon-
tinued, and that with other commodities
be sent Washington beef cattle.
The Sheridan Is now loading at Ia
coma. She will take 1000 tons dead
grain. She is expected to sail Tuesday.
Yesterday Capt w. w. Robinson, assist
ant quartermaster, who is in charge of
transports on Puget sound. went to Ia.

ADvANI SHOWS UP AGAIN.
Beats . Hotel and Tries to SwtndIe
Bank in SpOkane-Was Regis
tered Under a New Name.

A. A. Adyani, the alleged Hindoo prince
and bank swindler, after silence or over
q month has been heard from again. some
two weeks ago tall. athletic appearing
and copper colored individual registered a.
a Spokane hotel under the name or q.
Sham and Immediately proceeded TO oistri
that of an East India prince, rug merchant
and capitalist.
A few days later he put in an appearance
at the Fidelity National bank where ne
presented a draft for $1,000 drawn On the
Bank of Montreal at Montreal While only
asking that the draft be sent forward
for collection he was a little short OF ready
cash and requested President George ,.
Brookes to advance him a few hundred dol
lars until the returns should get back.
The Fidelity didn't do business that way
and Shani was given a receipt for MS coll
lection and the draft sent forward.
On Tuesday the draft was returned from
Montreal with a letter saying: "A party
calling himself Advani has recently been
notorious in this country and we nave
suspicion the signature on the check is MS
handwriting. Advani cashed checks at one
or two of the banks in this vicinity and
the checks are still unpaid. He was here
In September last.
Before the return of the draft Advani,
for G. Sham proves to be none other,
departed from the Spokane hotel, leaving
an unpaid bill. Whether or not he was
able to secure anything on the bank re-
ceipt for his collection has not yet been
learned.
A few days ago Advani had an adventure
in Kansas City,, On January he was
elected from the Midland hotel in
that city because he could not convince
the management that he would be able to
pay for his accommodations.
Advani arrived in Kansas City January
6 and at once began to make friends He
spent money freely and invited several
new-made friends to lunch with MIN at
the hotel. When he sent to the clerk a
request for. extra meal tickets and loan
of $3.50 an investigation was begun. which
resulted in his baggage being seized and
the key-hole of his room plugged. The
gage as security, stood good for a mes
sage to Advani's father In Bombay, ask-
ing a renewal of his letter of credit, which
he claims 10 have lost. The message cost
$32 word.

HEAVY PURCHASES OF HAY.


Ouartermaster Robinson has purchased
on government account during the past
month nearly 5000 tons of hay in the
local market for shipment to the Phillip
pines. Seattle contractors. in competi-
ton with those of other cities. have Sc
cured the bulk OF the contracts as the
the transports Sheridan and Port Albert
are written up.
Washington hay, it appears, has proven ,y,
pines. Judging from the frequency of
shipments of hay from this port and the
dwindling Of like shipments from San
Francisco, 1t Is apparent that this state
has entirely outstripped California, which
has relied on Its native grain hay in
competition with Washington timothy.
One advantage which Seattle has over
Tacoma and other ports in the Northwest
is the fact that there has been installed
here an electric hay press. which reduces
sixty cubic feet The average baled hay
is double as bulky The saving in freight
charges on cargo of Washington hay
baled at Seattle Is therefore very large.
The Sheridan, which sails this week
from the Sound with a cargo of 1000 tons
of hay, will have go tons of the double

implies to facilitate the work of extending
credits in the territory covered by its
members.
While the national association is of much
assistance to those in business houses upon
whom this duty devolves, the grocery
trade of the Coast demands that local as
sociations, covering the territory more
thoroughly than is done by the national
association, be formed. There is already
local bureau in Portland. Mr.. Preston, ac-
cording to the present programme, will
first visit there and address the men,
