THE RUBBER BUSINESS
The Growth of Imports Into
 the United States
An Effort Will Be Made to Establish the Industry in the Recently Ac- quired Tropical Possessions of the Country.

Washington. Sept 2O.-(SpeclaD.- More than S1OO OOOO, OOO worth of india rubber has been imported into the United States during the past four years. A decade ago the annual im- portations of india rubber amounted to about S15,000,0OO, now they exceed $3O.- 000, ,000, and are steadily increasing. Practically all of the impOrtatiOns Of rubber come in crude form for use of manufacturers. who are constantly eX- tending its application to various new lines of industry. Northern Brazil, Southern Mexico, the West Indies, Cen tral Africa, India, the Straits Settle ments, and the Dutch East Indies sup ply this increasing important feature oi our impOrtatiOns. Probably no single article has made a more rapid growth
 in it's relations to manufactures and consequently commerce in the past few years than rubber. As a consequence tivation and systematic production of the various plants and trees from which it can be produced.
 The above statement is suggested by the receipt by the treasury bureau of statistics of a publication detailing the systematic efforts being made for the cultivation of india rubber trees and plants in the British colonies, especi- ally those of Central and South Africa. This, coupled with the well known fact that our own department of agriculture

THE MISSIONS OF CHINA
An Interdenominational Conference
 Considering Their Future.

New York, Sept. 2O.-The future of mission work in China is to be decided at the big international conference which began in this city today. The conference is one of the most notable of it's kind ever held and is participated in by representatives of the foreign missionary societies of the Presbyteri- an. Methodist, Episcopaiian. Congrega- tionalist, Baptist, Dutch Reformed and several other denominat tions. Among those best acquainted with the work there exists no question as to the advis- ability Cs continuing the work in China.
 Despite the great loss of life and property the foreign mission societies have sustained during the recent out breaks those interested in the work show TO signs of wavering. All share the confident belief that the great en- pire is to be won over to Christianity and it is the purpose of outlining plans for the great work of the future that the present conference is being held. The property recently destroyed is to be replaced and from the scores of vol unteers there will be chosen a sufficient number to take the field in the place of those whose lives have been lost in the cause.

A GRAHAM COUNTY MYSTERY
Supposed Murder of an Albuquerque
 Man by His Partner.

Clifton AriZ., Sept. 20.-(SpeciaD.- Some months ago two men stopped at Hogan'S corral in north Clifton and after spending a few hours around town and making purchases of clothing and other articles at Hogan's store, left town, going up the river. A party of lOggerS in camp, some fifteen miles above Clifton, report that the two men stopped at their camp and ate supper being invited to stay all night. One of the men replied that they wanted to go on that night as far as Bob Bells ranch on Blue river. They did not go to Bells. but the next morning one Of the men passed Bells leading a saddled horse and having the other mans pis- tol. He told parties that he had brought the man to Clifton and he had taken the train here and had given him his horse and pistol. He told others that the missing man had joined a gang of outlaws, and still to others he reported that he had taken his partner to a point near Thompson's ranch and left him and that he had gone to Thompson's to look for work, thinking that if he went there on foot he would be more apt to find work. Some people on Blue river suspected some thing was wrong, but the man seemed to have satisfied most people, however, with his stories.
 It now comes to light that the miss ing man has never been seen since the day he left Clifton and stopped for sup per at the lOgger's camp. It seems that one of the men was recently discharged from the Santa Fe penitentiary. He worked a while in a livery stable at Albuquerque and while there persuad- ed his employer to dispose of his liv- cry business and accompany him to Blue river, depicting that portion of the county in glowing terms. The Albur- querque man told his travelling com panion that he had $500 on his person and this man told several people of his partners wealth. People who seem 60 know assert that the poor fellows bones are now bleaching in some lonely canyon. The mysterious case will be fully investigated.

A GIGANTIC COMBINE
Embracing All the Telegraph and
 Telephone Companies.

New York, Sept 20. In its forthcom- ing issue the Electrical Review will editorially publish this: There have been numerous rumors of late concern Ing probable amalgamation of all the telephone and telegraph companies of the United States. The Electrical Review was recently informed that rapid progress was being made in this direction by financial interests in the leading companies.
 ''These are the American Telephone and Telegraph companies, which now includes the American Bell Telephone company, the Western Onion Telegraph company and the Postal Telegraph Cable company. It is predicted by those in a position to know that these inter- ests will be consolidated into one big company to be known as the National Telephone and Telegraph company, and that such a consolida ton will be con- summated before the end or the pres. ent year."
