From the New Orleans Times-Democrat
Speaking of mosquitoes" said New
Orleans real estate agent, Il see that the
Department of Agriculture is experiment
ing with the drago fly as a possible agent
for destroying the pest. l am inclined to
believe that the scientific sharps are on
the right track. A few friends and myself
have little club house on the lake, and
during the early part of the season It was
swarms of ferocious mosquitoes that in
tested the locality. Some of the boys were
so badly bitten they became i'll in conse-
quence, and the wretched little bloodsuck-
ers simply destroyed all the pleasure one
might otherwise have taken in an outing.
About six weeks ago we began to have
our attention attracted by the great num-
Der of dragon flies that circled about the
clubhouse of evenings, and at the same
time we noticed that the mosquitoes were
apparently thinning out Naturally we
connected the two circumstances, and
carefully RETAINED from doing the dragon
flies any harm. At present the mosqui-
Toes have almost entirely disappeared, and

the larger insect. The dragon fly is Some

EDICT GIVES SOME RELIEF.
Leads to the Belief China VIII Do
All in Her Power to Protect the
Foreign Ministers.

Washington, Aug. 12-The official con-
hrmation of the rumored appointment Of
LII Hung Chang as peace envoy, received
at the State Department this morning,
is in many respects the most important
Information which has been received from
China since the first cipher message from
Minister Conger told of the safety of the
ministers and the legation force.
This indicates more clearly than any,
thing else has that 1.-The central govern
ment at Pekin at last realizes the grav-
lily of the situation and the need for
speedy action on its part 1t is regarded
by officials here as in a sense a ray of
light piercing the gloom which has cloud
ed the situation.
State Department officials believe that
Lii Hung Chang is the one man in the,
uation in IT'S broadcast bearings. and they
believe that he will do everything in his
power to bring about an early under
standing. For the past three days they
have watched anxiously for confirmation
of the Shanghai report that Earl Ii had
been designated for this important office,
and at the hour of closing yesterday they
had about reached the conclusion that
there was no truth in the report, for
nothing then had been heard either by
this government or any other in confirma-
ton of 1t.
When the fact OF the appointment was
made officially known 90 them to-day,
they were, therefore. as much surprised
as they were relieved. They regard this
appointment as a good indication, looking
as 1t undoubtedly does, TO ultimate peace.
As yet nothing has been received from
Ii Hung Chang on the line indicated, but
the transmission of the edict to the Chi
nese Minister here with instructions that
1t be laid before the authorities. will
doubtless be Immediately followed by ac-
ton on the line indicated.
This appointment undoubtedly strength
ems the feeling of confidence in the good
faith of the Chinese central government,
and seems to give renewed assurance of
the continued safety of the ministers.
There can be no doubt that the imperial
government will now protect the foreign
ers If IL is within the power of the gov
eminent to do so; and recent events at
Pekin have strengthened the belief In the
ability of the government to give that
protection If 1T so desired.
Yesterdays cable from London. which
reported the Chinese Minister there as
reporting the receipt of kilograms, show
ing a renewal of trouble in Pekin had had
a tendency to create anxiety in official
circles here but to-day's developments
have changed that feeling 10 one OF con-
idence in favorable outcome.
II looks as IL the Chinese Emperor and
his advisers had fully determined 10 meet
the conditions laid down by President
Mckinley in his reply to the Emperor's
request for mediation.
