the louise has spread further west
since this report was compiled. In the
rich wheat district surrounding Ill
Reno the louise has been at work Tor
several weeks. Many fields have Deen
practically destroyed. Henry Lassen,
an Ell Reno miller, said yesterday
that generally the fields were IN condl-
ton to give hopeful outlook, but I'M
less there was change for the better
in three Or four days the crop would
be seriously damaged. G.. H. Stevens.
representing the Purcell Mill and Ele-
vator company, has been travelling IN
Oklahoma for more than week, eX-
amining fields. His report is discourag-
ing, but he said it was too early TO say
positively that the crop would be
ruined. The only thing that can save
it, however, would be the disappear
ance of the louise In the neighbor-
hood of Cashion, Kingfisher county,
the louise is disappearing, but the small
blacky into which the louise develops,
injured only in spots, where the louise
seems to have settled temporarily in
it's northward migration. A week
ago the louise was discovered in field
near Guthrie, in which the wheat was
knee high. Today the field is practi-
cally ruined and in spots burns almost
as easily as dry pasture.
In an immense field in the strip
country the louise was not seen until
five days ago. There are now dead
spots of many acres in this field. The
owners takes a gloomy view OF the
situation, and fears that the louise will
destroy not only the wheat, but the
corn. Now he is transplanting new
corn to see whether the louise will at
tack the corn. Late hard wheat IS
scarcely molested by the louise, early
soft wheat being it's favorite food.
The louise does not feed upon weeds.
In some strip fields the Hessian fly
and chinch bugs have appeared with
the louise. Cold whether seemingly
had no injurious effect upon the louise.
They fell to the ground, but did not
die. Many farmers were deceived in
to believing that the louise was dying
by finding what seemed to be millions
of their dead bodies.
Mr.. Stevens of Purcell said that r
close examination showed that what
were taken for dead lice were only
their empty shells which they had
shed when they Matched into flies.
The louise has not been identified in
name. Old wheat growers say that
this is the first time they ever saw It.
The lcuse is green in color and re
sembles the louise that infests rose
plants.

DEMAND HIGHER WAGES.
Oshkosh Contractors and BrickIayers
at War

Oshkosh Contractors and BrickIayers
at War;
Oshkosh, Wis, April 27.-The build
ing contractors and the masons and
bricklayers of this city have entered
upon struggle that may lead to seri.
Gus results The condition came as
result of demand by the journeymen
that the scale of wages shall be raised
from 35 to 40 cents.
The contractors held a meeting and
at it's close the condition remained un-
changed. The contractors are willing
to grant sliding scale from 40 to 80
cents, but the journeymen maintain
that the lowest wages paid should be
35 cents. An effort will be made to
bring about joint meeting of journey
men and contractors next week.
The trouble comes just when there
is an unusually large amount of work
to be done, and the contractors say
that rather than suspend operations
they will hire help from outside.

The secretary and ambassador were
closeted for half hour. At the conclu
sion OF the Conference it was stated that
the instruction TO Lord Pauncetote was
to notify the Government of the United
States that the British Government did
not see its way clear to the acceptance OF
the Senate amendments. The note con-
cluded with an expression of regret that
such a course was forced upon the British
Government. There was nothing III the
nature of counter-proposition-
The tone of the note is distinctly
friendly throughout
The so-cal1ed Davis amendment appears
to be the chief obstacle in the way of an
agreement and there seems to be a. fair
inference from the general tenor of the
answer that If a modification ot this
an endnent could be secured. there prob
ably could be adjustment upon the
other points of difference
The Davis amendment, while 1t did not
give the United States a right to fortify
the canal, in general language expressed
the right Of this country to adopt such
measures in regard to the canal as were
deemed necessary to the proper main
ter ance of American authority.
