Mrs. McKinley's Condition stin Serious.

Mrs. Mckinley con ntinues very weak.
Each day that elapses without a gain
in strength lessons her power of recup-
GRAFTON. The complaint which came
near ending her life in San Francisco
is still present. 1t is in slightly less
aggravated form, but gives the physi-
clans and the president much concern.
Mrs. Mckinley has shown remark
able vitality, but her illness has SO
reduced her strength as to leave her
very feeble indeed. 1t is feared that
unless change for the better soon
manifests itself her strength NAV be-
come SO near exhausted as to leave her
without rallying power.

In South Carolina, goes over recent
political events in which Senator Nc
Laurin has figured, and declares that
McLaurin attacked him in Charlotte,
Greenville and Gaffney. McLanrin,
Tillman says, was making canvass OF
the state unopposed, and he stepped in.
McLaurin, he declares, is supplied with
unlimited money. He does not think
the canvass will be too hard for the
benefit to be derived.

Eiectroiysis is Caused by Single ovsrhea
Trolley Wire.

The doom of the single overhead
trolley system in the United States is
apparently foreshadowed by Special
Master in Chancery Frank l.. Wean.
when he filed his report in the noted
Peoria Electrolysis" case with the
clerk of the United States cireuit court
at Chicago, Wednesday.
Should Judge Grosscup approve the
finding of the master In tinal hearing,
the street railway companies of Peoria
directly, and all ira stion lines operat-
ing the single trolley system Indirect
ly, will be compelled to substitute a
double wire, giving return circuit
without using the earth as medium.
Master Wean, after an exhaustive
investigation and hearing of about
three years, during which testimony
was taken ia many of the larger cities
OF the United States, rules that the
current from the single trolley wire
escaping into the ground causes the
decomposition of water pipes and that
the Peoria Waterworks company there
| fore has good grounds for damages. He
recommends that the injunction prayed
| for be issued.

FIGHTING FROST WITH CANNON.
french Agricuiturists Finding New Use
for Weapons of War,

tuf weapons OF war,
The French agrieulturists intend to
fight frost and grasshoppers, as well
as hailstorms, with cannon and smoke,
according to an interesting report re-
ceived at the state department from
Counsul Convert at Lyons. 1t has Just
been determined to hold az interna-
tional scannon congress at Lyons in
November next, and Counsul Convert
is authorized to extend an invitation
to Americans to take part.
The success that has attended the
experiment of firing at approaching
hailstorms to prevent their ravages
upon French vineyards has prompted
steps for still further extension of
the use of cannon in agricultural
countries
The theory in some quarters pre-.
walls that it is not the frost itself
which blasts the budding fruit, but
the suns rays following night OF
frost. which find the grape, alrerdy
sensitive from the cold, an easy victim
to the heat. Cannon fred horizontally
over vineyards at sunrise produced in.
teresting results. A strip of vineyard
500 feet wide, over which the smoke
from two cannon had been spread, was
entirely protected from the effects o1
the frost, while the vines on either
side were badly injured.

establish his identity or give clue as
to the cause were found. He is 80
years of age, well dressed and had a

Of the supreme court of Colorado in
the case of the Calhoun Gold Mining
company against the Ajax Gold Min
ing company, is regarded in mining
circles as of special Importance, in that

ownership of all lodes and veins found
within the boundaries of legally es-
tablished mining claim. The court
holds that locator of mining claim
holds all veins apexing within the
boundary of his claim, without respect
to cross or parallel veins, so that be-
tween two conflicting lode locations
the senior would take all the veins
apexing within the conflict.

Loomis VIII Not Return to Venezuela.

1t is officially admitted that Minister
Loomis will not return to Venezuela.
There are two reasons for this decision.
In the first place, Mr. Loomis has
suffered in health at his uncongenial
post, and in the second place the presi-
dent is not disposed TO expose him
again to the nerciless attacks he has
suffered in Venezuela as a result of the
execution of the orders of the state de-
partment. Mr.. Loomis, who is now In
Europe seeking to recuperate, will be
given another diplomatic position as
soon as suitable place can be found.

Butte Sliding Down Hill.

The strange sliding movement of the
city of Butte, which has been notice
able at intervals for several years, has
again manifested itself by Ave large
cracks in the earth in different sections
of the city. The largest crevice occurs
on West Galena street, where crack
twelve inches wide and of consdera BILE
length and depth has appeared. Three
of the openings occur on the west side
of the town, and two on the east side.
There is no caving, but a distinct part
ing of the earth and the granite walls
can easily be seen in them.
The gas and water companies have
much trouble on account of the strange
movement which frequently breaks
their underground pipes.
City Engineer Rickenbah says the
engineering department of the city en-
counters the same trouble, as elevations
and bench marks in certain parts of the
city are constantly changing. This Is
particularly true of the section west Of
Main street and north of broadway,
where the marks have been known to
shift to the extent of a foot in q very
short space of time.
The continuance of the strange
phenomenon is beginning to cause
some alarm among the citizens of
Butte

Texas Town Burned by Robbers.

The town of Jasper, capital of Jas.
per county, Texas, was entirely wiped
out by fire Sunday. Seventeen houses
including every business house in the
place and number ofresidences, were
postoffice safe and the safe of the
county treasurer had been blown open
and robbed. The conclusion 10 that
burglars blew open these safes and
then set fire TO the town to create ex-
citement that would afford them an
opportunity to escape.

Commercial Interests of Cuba Like PIatt
Amendment.

A dispatch from Havana Thursday
says: Acquiescence in the will of the
majority is dominant, but the conven-
tion's acceptance of the Platt amend
ment has been quickly followed by
pleas for harmony. The minority of
the radicals were bitter against the
supporters of the amendment, but their
bitterness finds little popular support,
especially since it has been shown that
the majority of those who voted in the
affirmative were of the class of revo
lutiouists who did some fighting.
Commercial circles express great sat
isfaction at the outcome. The Mer-
chants union, which includes the
leaders in the commerce of the entire
island, has held meeting and has
taken steps to urge upon the delegates
the Importance of intimate commercial
relations with the United States, fol-
lowing the termination of the political
uncertainty.

Green Pea Louise Does Millions of Dollars
Worth of Damage

The department of agriculture has
issued report on the ravages of the
green pea louise, giving warning that
this insect, one of the most important
of those which have ravaged the crops
of the country during the past two
seasons, will widen it's range, geo.
graphically, and increase the amount
of destruction. Since its first appear.
ance, in May, 1899, at Bridges, Va, its
devastation has steadily increased and
it has now become the cause of great
loss in the principal pea-growing re-
gions of the United States.
The estimated loss it caused along
the Atlantic coast states in 1899 is put
at $4,000, 600, and in 1900 this had
reached S4,0o0,0o0 by the middle of
June. On some farms of Maryland 80
per ceut or more of the crops were de-
stroyed. Vigorous efforts are making
to control its spread, and the official
bulletin gives detailed description
and means of fighting it.
