Among the most important scienti- fc results of MT. Sven Hedin's explora- tions in Thibet is the discovery of an extensive "dead sea- having many characteristics in common with that of Palestine. It is so intsnsely saline that oars used in it soon become coat ed with crystals. It is believed that the bed of the sea is one huge crust of salt.-St. Louis Republic.

 Editor of the Democrat: s While reading last nights issue of your paper I noticed an article regard ing base ball game between the Eagles and the Lafayettes for $500 a side. In that article the Lafayettes stated that the would leave their money in the Democrat office until Saturday for us to cover 1t. The manager of the Eagles will cover their money if the Lafayettes will agree to leave out that one term, which they state in the article, but did not state what it was. On Wednesday night both managers met in Brooklyn, when the Lafayettes made it known that they had secured pitcher from another team, which we consider in higher class than we are, and they also named their own umpire, and at first wanted the money if they played in WaterviI1e and could not secure the grounds there. say they wanted everything their own way and might as well have asked for the money in the first place, without play ing for it. Thanking you in advance, I remain yours

 We will probably have new pitcher here to-day. His name is Bach, and he is one of the Bristol twirling staff. Bristol has enough twirlers without him and he has been sold to Manager Connor. That is all we need-another. pitcher. If young Cassidy makes good he will also be retained.
 Amos Rusie refused to go to New York from Cincinnati yesterday and assist the Cincinnati team in the game, taking a vacation without pay till July 4 instead. The big pitcher says he was not to work until that date and his trials in the former games were un- fair. The big fellow is done for and he knows it. He is afraid to face New York.
 We are going slowly toward that 300 mark, and when we get there we will be prepared to talk to some of the leaders. It is a pretty hard thing just now to pick the winner in this league. New Haven was considered the whole thing a few weeks ago, then Bridge port took hand at the leadership, and now Bristol lays claim to it. Well, We will be there before the season is at an end.

II ststfs +,l5 Sidney Jenkins, the former cham pion sprinter, who was defeated by Tom Cooper in Madison Square Gar der on Monday night, claims that the track was a great handicap to him, and is training hard at the Manhattan Beach track for the team match race of three heats between himself and Gascoyne as the foreign team, and Tom Cooper and Frank Kramer, the Americans. Jenkins in an interview yesterday said that the Manhattan Beach track was suited to him and his team mate, and thought they would be able to show Cooper and Kramer the way over the tape. pom Cooper, how ever, is riding strong, as his record ride on Sunday in the ten-mile open sat Vailsburg, when he broke the worlds record for the distance, proves. Kra- mer also is riding fast. This interna- tional team race between these cham pions will be decided at the meet of the Kings County Wheelmen at the Manhattan Beach track to-day.
 Mcfarland, two days out of the hos pital and badly bruised, left for Boston to-day, where he will race with Mich ael and Linton. The extraordinary rider from the Pacific coast has black optic and there is no feeling on the right side of his face where it came in contact with the motor on Monday night.
 Edouard Taylore, the diminutive Frenchman, of the Barnes racing team, has been sick for two weeks owing to the uncertain climate which has pre- vailed since his arrival in America. He has started we'll by winning a race from Pierce and Caldwell. The swarthy foreigner will follow the en- tire circuit arranged for the pace-fol- lowers.
 Indianapolis shows great interest in cycle racing. Tom Hay took the New by Oval track and by good advertising gained the interest of the public. A meet postponed twice drew 4,000 per sons and now Indianapolis is to have a number of first class meets. The sprinters have been surprised by many liberal offers from the Hoosier capital.
 The men composing the racing teams of the American Bicycle Go in. the first period of the seasons work on the track have shown themselves to be as speedy and formidable a lot of racing cyclists as probably could have been selected. Out of total of sixty-seven events participated in up to Tuesday, June 25. the Rambler, Crescent, Cleve- land, Featherstone and Columbia teams had scored thirty firsts twenty three seconds and fourteen thirds. Of these, the Cleveland team (Nelson, Newhouse and Grognet not having participated in a race thus far), has the greatest number of firsts to It's credit, eleven. nine of which have been captured by Nelson and two by New house.

R.ins. sur pri-ed the audience with Il selection in which their voices blended most per- feclIy. The male quartet consisting Of MessrS. Falrmt and Rains us tenOrs Mess,.s. Grim and Alsap Us ba,SO-, rem dered a beautiful selection which was thoroughly appreciated by the audi ence. One of the best selecLion- of the evening was a cOniraltO solo by Miss Winona Henry, whose voice on the contraliO register Is one of rare power and beauty. During the even- ing the pastor of the church gave an iIlusi ration of the difference between th. old style of church singing and the new or modern style. He selected Il hymn and lined it out two lines at q tune and had the audience sing it in the same order; and then at the close the organise started the instrument and the whole audience sang the same hymn in the modern style so that the contrast was very marked, and it was difficult for some of the congregation to decide at once which was the most effective way.

DUNEDIN, Jan. 10.-Mr. James Mills,
managing director OF the Union Com
pany, in the course of an interview with
Daily Times reporter re the Union
Company having secured an interest in
the Vancouver service, said the ques-
ton Of the substitution of the three
weekly for a monthly service was un-
der consideration. Meantime the pres
ent service would be continued, the
Moana replacing the Warrimoo and the
latter coming into the inter-colonial
service. The question of future deyel-
opments and of the extension of the
service to New Zealand had not been
fully considered, the latter point being
entirely dependent upon the amount OF
support the new service would receive
from the New Zealand Parliament. The
suggested alternative of extending the
service to New Zealand is establishing
a branch to Fiji. Mr.. Spreckels was
anxious that the Union Company
should continue to act as agents for the
Oceanic Company until April, but in
view of their taking up the Vancouver
service, that was impossible.

THE PLAGUE IS
NOW DYING OUT
Epidemic Inspector at Toxic After
Thorough Investigation
Makes Report.

TOXIC, jan 20.-Mr. Ando, an cpl
demic inspector who has been dispatch
ed to Osaka and Wakayama for the
investigation of the plague, came back
to Toxic on Friday evening, having
thoroughly finished his mission at those
places. With reference to the epidemic
in Wakayama prefecture. the inspector
is reported to have remarked that 1t
would be proper and right to say that
the pest in that locality has already
been stamped out, for not only have no
fresh cases been recently reported, but
no bacilli are to be found in rats, either
dead or alive.
The total number of the patients
there had been eighty-seven, of whom
five had been taken to the hospita
with the result that all of them forum
ately recovered. In short the sanitary
measures adopted on the part of the To-
cal people We're really praiseworthy, the
result being the non-appearanee of anA
fresh cases. He said further that the
epidemic at Osaka is sure to be stamp
ed out before long, should the citizen:
follow the example set by the inhabi
tants of the neighboring prefecture.

PROPOSED TAX
IN DISFAVOR
Toxic Merchants Raise a Strong
Protest Against the
Authorities.

TOXIC, Jan. 20.-The sugar merchants
of the country, who are decidedly OPP
posed to the Governments proposal to
levy an additional tax on sugar, held a
meeting in the Isehei, Ryogoku. on
Thursday afternoon. The meeting was
attended by 153 persons, including several
provincial representatives.
Mr.. Sanjuro Nagao announced, as the
representative of the promoters of the
meeting, that the Government intention
TO further increase the duty on sugar
was not quite advisable at time when
the sugar industry in the country was
still in it's infancy and when It required
further encouragement for number OF
years to come. Such a discouraging
measure, if practically carried out, would
only tend to encourage the importation
Of sugar, the result being the decline OF
the industry at home. In conclusion, the
speaker earnestly wished the audience
to raise a strong protest against the
authorities in consequence.
His proposal was at once approved OF
unanimously and then an acting COM
mittee of 80 was selected from among
those present for the purpose of start
ing an agitation. 1t was also resolved
that an association, to be called the
Nihon Tokyokai Japanese Sugar Asso-
ciation) should be organized In connec-
ton with the movement.
