SONOMA BREAKS RECORD
Makes Fastest Trip From San Francisco
to SYDNEY

Vancouver, B. CA new record be-
tween San Francisco and Auckland has
been established, the trip having been
made in nineteen days, seven hours,
thirty-nine minutes, the quickest run
on record, by the Sonoma, the second
of the three new sister ships built for
the Pacific service between San Fran
cisco and Sydney via Honolulu, Samoa
and Auckland.
After beating the record to Auck-
land from San Francisco, the Sonoma
maintained the distinction by also
lowering the record between Auckland
and Sydney. Between these two in
tcr-colonial ports there was a race be-
tween the Sonoma and one of the fast
vessels of the Union company, the
Mararoo. The latter vessel passed her
previous record. This, however, the
Sonoma was able to lower by four
hours, sixteen minutes, accomplishing
the run of 1881 knots in three days
four hours and four minutes.
Upon this maiden trip the Sonoma
steamed 425 knots in twenty-foul
hours, or an average of almost II 81

covered, but, as yet, have found no
trace of the missing criminals.
Burge was on duty at Manila and
refused to obey the orders of his su-
periors, and for thus refusing duty
he was charged with mutiny. He was
tried by court-martial and found guilty
as charged. His sentence was fifteen
years Imprisonment and he was sent
back on the Solace to serve this time
at Mare Island This sentence was re-
duced to ten years.
A short time ago Kennedy deserted
from the receiving ship Independence
but was captured and had served year
of his sentence Escape was made
through grating, one man climbing
up the others shoulders and then in
turn pulling his companion up through
the opening and from there to the
ground.
The marine guard at the navy yard
has been lessened on account of the
demand for marines at Manila and on
the Chinese station. consequently the
special guard at the cell was with
drawn. The guard was changed three
times during the night, and all three
of these guards will be tried by court
martial, to ascertain if the prisoners
escaped through their negligence.

The Chemistry Of Soil

Undoubtedly one of the most won
derful discoveries of modern chemistry
has to do with the soil, says the Sat
urday Evening Post. 1t has been as
certained that the most barren land
can be made rich simply by adding 10
it certain mineral elements which cost
but little. On this basis it is esti-
mated that the United States will be
able eventually to maintain SOC, 1000, 900
people-more than one-third of the
present population of the world 1t is
merely question of supplying the
requisite quantities of nitrogen, phos-
phoric acid and potash.
The last two are readily obtainable
at small expense, whereas the first
may be supplied either by condensed
nitrogen in the shape of slaughter
waste or nitrate of soda or by plant
ing clover, beans or peas. which have
an affinity for nitrogen and absorb it
from the atmosphere. 1t is now known
that nitrogen is the most important
plant food, and, inasmuch as this ele-
ment composes four-fifths of the at
mosphere, the question is merely to
absorb it into the soil.
1t has also come to be understood

PRICE OF PRUNES A PROBLEM

San Francisco.-H. G.. Bond, presi-

ISOLATION, has arrived from Europe.
Speaking of the prospect price of
prunes Judge Bond said:
81 have come home with some well
formulated ideas that may prove a
remedy for the present deplorable sit
uation, but 1 don't care to make them
known at this time. l want first to
see what the situation is here and con-
suit with the directors of the associa-
ton as to the utility and feasibility
of my plans.

markets are glutted with prunes. There
was an exceptionally heavy crop in
France, Servia and Bosnia last sea-
son, and prices are very low. For this
reason, there is little hope of finding
a favorable market for the fruit in Eu-
rope at this time.
after my return from Europe, 1
paid some attention to the markets of
this country, stopping at Chicago and
Denver, on my way here from New
York. In Now York 1 found prunes
belonging to growers outside of, the
association offered at cents, as
against Az cents for prunes of sim
liar grade, and elsewhere 1 found
prunes from Oregon, Washington and
Idaho for cents per pound less than
the price we ask. These are matters
which we must consider in our endeav-
or to find a purchaser for our surplus

charged with the murder of twenty
four persons within the past three

murderers' victims by poison is greater
still.
In Bessanabia, near the ortress of
Bender, the authorities have happened
on the graves of a number of persons,
who, judging by the positions of their
bodies, must have been buried alive.
1t is believed that they are the mem

ALAsKA'S RICHES
Big Find on Slate Creek and Miller
Gulch

Victoria, B. C.-NewS OF the latest
strike in the wealth-lined wales of AL
aska, has reached here Charles Cram
er, Darcy Lowell. Harry E. King and
H. Smith, who have just come in from
Slate creek and Miller gulch, give par
ticulers of these new finds, which are
probably the richest of the year. Cram
er and Lowell, in less than a week s
time, sluiced out over $4,000 on their
Miller gulch claim, while King and
Smith in the same period took out
$1,000 from Slate creek.
The gold was found at the grass
roots, being flake gold on the surface,
and on Miller gulch, where depth OF
four and half feet had been reached,
it was already coarse and nuggety,
while on the Slate creek diggings OF
Smith and King it went fifty vents to
the pan, nuggets being occasionally
found. Slate creek, the scene of the
discovery, is a tributary of Chesta-
china river, which empties into the
copper river. The creek is about 240
miles inland on the Abercrombie wag-
on road rom Valdez
Cramer and Lowell found the first
gold there in June last, but went whip
saving timber to make sluice boxes
until August, and the news did not
leak out until the fall, when there was
quite a ruch to Slate creek, of which
Miller -gulch is a tributary. All the
locators took out gold, the amount va
rying from few dollars to thous-
and dollars.

Funston
NOW IN CUSTODY AT MANILA
Funston's Small Party Pretended to Be
CaptiVes and Were Taken Into the
Camp of the Rebel Leader.

Manila, March 2S.-Gen. Frederick
Funston's daring project for the cap
ture of Aguinaldo in his hiding place
in the province of Isabella, Island of
Luzon, has proved completely success
full. Aguinaldo was captured there
March %.
The United States gunboat Vicks-
burg, Commander E. B. Barry, with
Gen. Funston and Aguinaldo on board,
arrived here this morning.
Manila, March 27.-Gen. Funston,
with the assistance of a number of
Macabebes, has captured Aguinaldo In
the country near Casiguran, nine miles
from Baler, on the northeast coast of
the Island of LuZon. The rebel leader
and his entire staff are now in Ma
Mia. Gen. Funston employed very
clever ruse to reach Aguinaldo. His
plan worked successfully, with the re-
suit that the head and front of the in
surrection is now where he will do no
more harm to American interests.
Recent dispatches from Manila told
of the departure of Gen. Funston on
what many believed was an almost
hopeless expedition. The very audacity
of Gen. Funston's plan, however, was
such that those who knew him init
mately had faith that he would accom-
plish his object. Some months ago
letters were captured by Americans
showing beyond peradventure that the
rebel leader was hiding in the north
eastern part of the island. Gen. Fun
ston Immediately conceived a plan 10
capture him. which received Gen. Mac
Arthur's approval.
Two weeks ago he started from Ma
Mia with Surg.-Maj. Harris, Capt. New

ing alIalIa DonOons. Scrawny and at
tenuated humanity will drink fluid ex-
tract of alfalfa seeds. 1t all came
about through a discovery made by a
modest country doctor in Kansas, the
State that has contributed so much to
the science Of fattening live stock. This
doctor who accidentally discovered the
fat-making potency of alfalfa, was for
merly fish commissioner of Kansas, and
while in that Office he received some
interesting reports from foreign coun-
tries on fish culture and kindred sub
jects. In one of these reports he read
of the wonderful fattening properties
of a seed discovered in Asia Minor
which had been successfully utilized by
the Sultan Of Turkey when plumpness
was the vogue in the Turkish harem
Living in State famed for its fat stock
exhibits, the doctors curiosity was
aroused and he sent for some Of the
seed of the Asiatic plant, and learned
that it was nothing more than the seed
Of alfalfa grass. But the Kansas scien-
fist did not stop with this discovery.
He reasoned that if alfalfa could fill a
Turkish harem with joyous rotundity it
could be utilized to. fill up the lean
places of modern femininity with
healthy adipose. He knew that the
lank and willowy twentieth century
girl would not look well going around
chewing alfalfa grass. Neither would
she fancy alfalfa porridge for steady
diet. Accordingly he finally succeeded
in making a palatable extract of alfalfa
seeds, as pleasant to the taste as syrup
of squills. He began trying this ex-
tract on the population of Kansas sew
eral weeks ago. He himself took three
tablespoonfuls of the extract every day.
The results are astonishing. The first
effect was a sudden influx of tailors to
supply the demand for new clothes. In
the course of two weeks time persons
who had received sample bottles Of the
extract were unable to get into their
clothes. A brisk demand for heavy
furniture is also noted. There is no
telling where the alfalfa craze will end
if it once breaks out Of Kansas, for the
twentieth century girl is certainly 60
ing to be plump girl. Instead of the
"Gibson girl'' we shall soon hear of the
alfalfa girl" And the beauty Of 1t is,
the Kansas scientist refuses to patent
his elixir of alfalfa. He offers it to
lean and angular humanity free aid
without price.
