Der of American citizens who were de-
ported from South Africa and the Trans

government has offered to pay the lump
sum of $4,000 over to the state depart

among the claimants. This proposition
probably will be accepted.

The object Of the Rice Association
Of America in establishing the rice
kitchen at the Pan-American eSposi-
ton is to impress the public with The
fact that rice can be used so advan-
tagcously with the common foods Of
our people that It will add materially
to the healthfulness of those who con-
sumo il.
'It seems necessary that we should
have an ocular demonstration OF the
value OF rice" said Professor Knapp.
because in a large proportion of the
United States rice is considered simply
dessert. whereas the great value %
rice is as staple food and should he
used as a substitute for potatoes and
for other carbonaceous foods. | am
greatly gratiiicd with the success the
rice kitchen has attained and with the
generous patronage that is given II by
the public. The plan upon which the
rice kitchen Is organized is that of an
American home. with such foods as the
masses of the people ordinarily use
and ind nutritious and healthful. 1t is
the purpose to mingle rice with these
foods as an entire dish or as a COM
ponent part of the dish. to season and
cook in the best way and serve in
good form so as to demonstrate what
a home can do in the consumption of
rice"
Aside from its culinary attractions,
the rice kitchen attracts a great deal
Of attention on account of the beau
tiful wood that has been used In it's
construction. The lumber was shipped
from Louisiana and Texas. The panels
and friezes are remarkable specimens
of the curled golden pine. The doors
and window trimmings are of curled
cypress. These two ornamental woods
are found in great quantities through
out the state Of Louisiana, and are
very much admired by people who
have made speciality Of ornamental
woodwork. The building is in charge
Of Colonel ]. w. Eggleston Of Lake

to create market for the large crops
raised IN the rice belt of Louisiana and
Texas. which is. by the way. the finest

much gratiiAed with the results.
There havS> been more people from

tion than have attended anything Of
the sort since the%war. Among these
are several of the '.ice planters who
subscribed to the rice kitchen as an
experiment. and they are much graft

cereal has become popular. 1t is pecul-
iarly unfortunate that the building Is

SALISBURY IN
CRITICAL STATE
Alarm Felt Over the British
Prime Minister'S Failing
Powers.

NEW YORK, May 8.-A cable to the
World from London says: Alarming
reports about Lord Salisbury's condi
ton are prevalent tonight. A. J. Bal
four, the Government leader in the
House Of Commons and nephew of Sal
1sbury, had a private audience with
the King today, which is understood to
have been caused by the Prime Min
listers failing health. There has beeL
complete silence on the subject for
three weeks the only indication that
he was not recovering being afforded
by the postponing of his return from
Beaulieu. He was to have been in
London today, but he has not yet left
his Riviera residence. An attack of in
huenza before Easter left him extreme
ly enfeebled, and the news from Beau
lieu received in London today shows
that his debility is ultimately resisting
all treatment and has now reached a
grave point.
The World correspondent TODAY
asked Lord Hugh Cecil, a member of
Parliament, one of Lord Salispury's
sons. If it is true that the Premier is
seriously i'll. He replied: 'I know of
no ground for such a statement
The possibility of Lord Salisbury's
retirement has been freely canyassed
in political circles. His death would
not dissolve the Ministry, but would
lead to it's reconstruction. The World
correspondent hears that King Edward
would first ask the Duke Of Devonshire
to take the Premiership. and, if he
should refuse, would then ask Balfour
to accept it. Chamberlain is now re-
garded as quite "out Of the running. !"
The Marquis of Salisbury was II years
old in February
