THE ANTI-MosQUITo CRUSADE.
Kerosene Oil Successfully Applied
Mt Fort Stevens,


SAVANNAH, June 22--The success of
the kerosene crusade against mosquitoes
is not by any means confined to Winches-
ter, Va, for, through the use of petrol
cum, the pests have become almost ex-
tinct In one part Of Tybee Island. The
Government reservation at Fort Screven
does not suffer at all from the insects,
which at times make life almost unbear-
able in certain localities. Coal Oil was
the agency through which the garrison
was freed from mosquitoes, and one Of
the officers at the post declares that by
the expenditure of 500 the insects could
be kept out of the island for an entire
season
Oil is emptied about in stagnant water
wherever it is found and the soldiers are
thus enabled TO live in peace at night
There are many here who are anxious to
have the City Council pass an ordinance
requiring that oil be poured into all the
stagnant water about the city.

FORMAL. ANNOUNCEMENT
WONT BE MADE AT ONCE

New York, Nov. 12.-The Commercial
Advertiser says: According to good
authority the indications today We're
that no formal announcement will be
made of the settlement of the Northern
Pacific trouble but that meeting of
the Northern Pacific directors which is
said to be scheduled for tomorrow, the
matter will be brought up for discus
sion and the agreement which has been
reached between the various interests
reported by E. H. Hartman and James
J. Hill in the recent negotiations will be
approved and a notice adopted to be
sent to the stockholders containing the
terms of the settlement and what they
will have to do there under"
Similar action will, it is said, be TAX
en- at the meeting of the Burlington on
Thursday in Chicago, and successfully
by the other roads interested In that
way it is said the details of the plan
that has been worked out for har-
monious settlement of all difficulties
and differences, will thus gradually be-
come known to the public.
This is based on the assumption that
all the details of the plan have not yet
been arranged. Anv further delays it
was said today, would only be due to
the impossibility of completing details
in time for the railroad meetings.

MINING TOWN ALMOST
WIPED OUT BY FIRE

Cumberland, Md, Nov 12-The min
ing town of Thomas. w. Va, was al
most wiped out by fire early today. The
winter business houses and 20 dwellings
mostly frame, were consumed. The
Catholic church, opera house, Gersber-
ger and Reynolds Hotels, the jail, the
water station and several houses be-
longing to the Davis Coal & Coke Com
Dany were destroyed.
The town was promoted mainly by
the Davis Coal & Coke Company and
the West Virginia Central Railroad.
The latter has given the residents all
the box cars at Thomas to shelter the
homeless.
The cast end of the town was de-
stroyed, including the four principal
business blocks. Many travelling men
lost their samples and money and
scores of people were driven from home
in night clothes. The town was with
out fire protection.

OUR CUNCIL GENERAL
AT APIA Is DEAD

Washington, Nov. PA cablegram
at the state department today from
Auckland, New Zealand, announces the
death at Apia, Samoa, on Oct. 81, of
Luther w. Osborn, United States con-
sui general at Apia.
Mr.. Osborn was bern in New York
and appointed to his present position
from Nebraska, July 26 1897. Thus he
was the principal representative of the
authorities of the United States in the
Saoan group in the trouble some days
before the partition, and it appeared
that he alone of all the foreign repre-
sentatives at Apia, aroused no oppo-
sition. He obtained the confidence of
the natives and the other representa-
tives of the foreign powers.
In addition to his post at Apia Mr.
Osborn was also consul general at
Nonulosa, the capital of the Congo
group of islands.

OPERATIONS OF FRENCH
RECIPROCITY ARRANG EMENT

Washington, Nov. 12.-Consul General
Skinner at Marseilles has furnished the
state department with the first official
statement of the operations of the French
reciprocity arrangement which was made
under the Dingley act in 1897.
Now that three years have elapsed since
this arrangement went into force, the
consul general thinks there is a favorable
opportunity to judge of its permanent eff
fects. The arrangement allowed favorable
terms to French argols, brandies and
spirits, works of art. still wines and YER
mouth
Consul Skinner gives table showing
exports from Marseilles for three years
preceding the operation of the arrange
ment and the years of its life. In the case
of argols. the exports were, in round
numbers, 5000 600 100000 and 1886, 900 in
the years 1895, 96 and 81, increased to
S267 000 in 1898, to $495 600 in 1899 and to
$4,000 in 1890 During 1901 they dropped to
1927. 900
The figures in the case of the other priv
LEGGED articles covered in the arrange
ment show about the same proportionate
rates of increase and decrease.
