America the ordinary chocolate of trade
sells for about one-third of the price that
is charged for it where it is produced.
The cause of this, the producers say is
that the original product is adulterated
greatly before reaching its final marke-,
a cheaper article than the cocoa bean
constituting the large "a oportion of 80 per
cent. of the chocolate o. commerce.
The cocoa bean from which chocolate is
manufactured is pro luced IN its hnest
form in Venezuela, though various other
parts of Central and South America grow
and export :srge G Iantities Two crops
of the bean are gathered each year, and
the manufacture consists simply in grind
ing up the beans INTO m-ai and then ad-
ding sugar and arrowroot, with the ne cs-
sary favor-usually vanilla or cinnamon.
The mass is moistened until it is in a
serni-fuid state, after which it is run into
moulds of the proper shape.

INV Assoc lated Press

Charleston, July 5-A special train,
bringing in twelve non-union men, hired
by the Southern Railway to take the
places of striking machinists at the
Southern shops. was held up by friends

STORM STRUCK BUFFALO

and the CITY in Darkness.
Buffalo, N. T., July 5--A severe electri-
cal storm passed over this city tonight
The lightning struck in a dozen places. 1t
hit the supply wires that bring electrical
power from Niagara Falls to Buffalo,
burning out transformers and other cleo
trical machinery in the Buffalo receiving
house. For over an hour the streets were
without electric light except that furnish
ed from store windows which had their
own plants and the street cars were at
stsndstill. The rain fell in torrents. the
water flooding many cellars.
The flesh of lightning that put out the
downtown electric lights and stopped the
street cars also burned out all the cir
cults leading to the exposition. The
conduits we're utterly inadequate to carry
off the water and the grounds were
flooded Some of the Midway shows were
flooded to a depth of three feet The
engine room under the machinery and
transportation hall was also filled with
water, and all the machinery was stop
ped. One small circuit, which supplies
arc lights in the exhibit buildings was
the only one unaffected by the storm.

No Hope for His Recovery and His

Death Momentarily Expected.
The condition of Judge Thomas Screven.
whose critical illness was reported in the
Morning News yesterday. was extremely
low at 8 o'clock this morning. No hope
of his recovery is entertained. Conges-
tion of the brain was complicated yes
terdsy morning with meningitis. and it
was apparent that it was but a question
of time before a vigorous constitution
would have to succumb to the disorders.
Hoping against hope, however. Judge
Screven's many friends and his relatives
trust that some interposition may save
him from death.
Constant inquiries as TO his condition
were made. Many reports that he was
dead were in circulation, and, until they
were corrected, universal regret was ex-
pressed. 1t now seems that his death is
but question of hours.

IF THE department of agricul-
ture had done nothing else, the
profits arising from its importation
of the seedless navel orange alone
would suffice to pay all its ex-
penses for the past thirty years.
The original tree, which was i'm
ported about 1870, is still at the
department. Its history is inter
esting. About the time mention
ed, an American woman told Mr.
Saunders, the expert on pomology
for the department, that she had
enjoyed the most delicious oranges
while in the vicinity of the city of
Bahia, Brazil, and believed he
would do well to procure some of
the budded fruit as an experiment
in this country. The secretary of
agriculture requested our consul
at that point to send him twelve
budded trees. They came in due
time, and we're in turn budded on
small seedlings for distribution.
Only one survived, and while cut
tings from this did not thrive in
Florida, they did on the Pacific
coast, and today the navel, or Ba-
hia, orange, the father of that IN
dustry in California, owes its ex-
istence to the single tree now
standing in the glass house in the
agricultural grounds. OF the croI
of about 10000 carloads for 1901
at least 10, 900 of them were of the
navel variety, while the revenue
varies from $1,000, 600 to S., ,0O0, ,00t
year, The statement of this fact
single tree having produced snffi
cient revenue to sustain the de
partment for thirty years, never
fails to awe the tourist. and causes
him to beg for single leaf from
the wonderful money tree.

crops fail. Then starvation stares
them in the. face. At such times the
Yakuts often beg from door to door
IN the little towns or take to robbery.
At such times also the father of the
family will sell his children to the
Russian peasants, his nearest white
neighbors, if he has any to sell. The
price is a mere pittance, varying be-
tween 50 and $25.
The well-to-do Russians of the of
fetal or merchant class are the final
purchasers of the children. They pay
the middlemen who buy the children
from the Yakut families about one
third more than the Yakuts received
for them. The children are purchased
to be servants.
Such sales are against the law and
are made secretly. When the chill
dren reach their majority they are
free. They can no longer be held in
restraint; nevertheless, they are
slaves in their younger years.
It is not to be wondered that the
Takut population hate the whites,
who dominate over them. They know
that most of the white population are
coAvicts sent out Of their country for
their country's good, and they see in
The better class of Russians only slave

CHILDREN BOUGHT AND SOLD.
Slavery as 1t Exists In the North
ern Parts of Eastern
Siberia.

The Russian News, of ST. Peters
burg, publishes an account of the 81
berian traffic in human beings, sent
by a correspondent in Yakutsk, the
most important town on the lower
Lena river. He describes the pitfful
conditions in these northern districts,
and says they are responsible for the
selling of children into slavery.
Three classes of people live there,
Russian officials and merchants. Rus
sian peasants and Yakut natives. 1t
is the Yakuts who have the children
to sell. The Russian peasants buy
them and sell them again at a good
profit to the officials and merchants.
The Russian peasants are not hY-
ing in those bleak and inhospitable
regions of their own choice. They
were sent into exile from their native
homes in Russia, some for crimes and
others for political ofenses. They
are scattered through the districts
of Wereho5ansk, Kolymsk and va
kutsk, the most northern parts of 81,
IBERIA inhabited by the white race. It
is winter in these districts for nine
months in the year, and we have lit
tie idea of the severity of the long
winter season and the misery it brings
upon the Poverty-stricken Russian
peasants and the Yalluts.
In the district of Werchojansk is
situated the pole of greatest cold In
the northern hemisphere; in other
words, the records Of EXTREMIST cold
show little lower temperature than
has ever been observed by arctic ex-
plorers.
And yet in the brief summer season
the Russians and Yakuts ripen a few
vegetables and cut little hay for the
miserable cattle that are kept in that
far-away land. The mining industry
is not important, and about the only
industry that keeps white men there
is the collection of skins and furs and
the trade with the natives who live
nearer the Arctic ocean and exchange
good many skins for European com
modities. The poor white residents
and Yakuts also engage IN fishing.
In the best Of years they earn but
seanfy subsistence, but their misery
