Monday, and that the chairman of the

will be Consul General Pierce of the
Orange Free State, whose office is in
New York.
Mr.. Van der Hoogt says the Boer
agents in this country are in posses
sion of complete information, both by
telegraph and mail about the progress
of the war, Aand that their cable ad-
vices show that Mrs Botha's visit to
Mr.. Kruger is in no way connected
with peace negotiations. Mrs. Botha
took with her to Europe detailed in
formation from her husband and from
General Schalkburger, the acting
President.
Mr.. Van der Hoogt said that General
Botha was permitted to communicate
by cable with Mr.. Kruger on condi-
ton that he would try TO get Mr..
Kruger to agree to certain peace
terms, favorable to Great Britain, and
that the British authorities should see
the dispatches. Botha carried out the
agreement, and kruegers reply was
that independence was the first basis
of any terms Of peace.

Pacific Mail as a competitor

In the bidding for the contract to
carry 1000 tons of baIed hay for the
government from Puget Sound to Ma
Mia, the Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany of San Francisco quoted rate
of 81 80 ton, a cut of so cents on the
lowest rate heretofore made between
the Sound and the Orient. The fact
is significant, in view of the close COM
petition between the lines which make
Seattle and Tacoma the terminal and
those whose home port is San Fran
cisco.
The Pacific Mail will send the big
steamer Algoa, of 1900 tons capacity,
for this shipment. Shipping men are
inclined to believe this presages the
active entry of the Pacific Mail in the
commerce between Puget Sound and
the far East, and there is likely to be
some rate cutting as an incident to
the liveliest competition in Oriental
traffic the Pacific Coast has even seen.
Mr.. Waterhouse, agent for the China
Mutual Steam Navigation Company,
says that if the Pacific Mall goes north
to compete, his company will naturally
go to San Francisco in search Of trade
as retaliatory measure.

THREATS OF
THE ANARCHISTS
The Italian Consul at New York
Warned to Drop
Spies.

NEW YORK, June '20.-The Italian
Consul Giovanni Branchi has received
the following letter from a committee of
disappearing anarchists who held
meeting here this week:
ITO the Italian Consul: Knowing the
temper of the Paterson comrades, we,
the English-speaking anarchists OF New
York and vicinity, would earnestly re-
quest you to desist from employing spies
any further. We fear that If persisted in
this may lead to bloodshed which we
deplore. THE COMMITTEE.
New York. June IS, 1901"
The meeting was attended by leading
members of the anarchist group in Phil
adelphia, Providence and Boston. Four
of the nine men at the meeting are ply
sicians. The meeting was called because
of threats made at a meeting of Pater-
son anarchists held Monday night.
II was decided to send a letter to the
Counl Geaeral The English speaking
ANARCHISTS had made an arrangement
Will - Anarchists in Paterson by which
the latter were to commit no act of vio-
lence fer seven days. When that period
has elapsed it will be known whether the
Italian {. Gsul has decided to abandon
the spy &ystem which, 1t is said, has
been in or ration since Bresci assassi-
mated kim Humbert
When the italian Consul was seen at
his office he said: cit is an anonymous
letter He declined to give any inter-
view, and when asked If he feared any
violence he laughed but said nothing.

The SUGAR
Of CUBA
Encouraging Data
From Island
Estates.
SIX HUNDRED
THOUSAND TONS
The Old Order is Rapidly Chang
ing as Respects Plantation
Management.

NEW YORK, June 20.-FThe cores
pondent of the Tribune. writing from
Matanzas says:
The sugar crop figures for this season
are encouraging enough. In round
numbers the production is fixed at $780,
600 tons, and this has brought not far
from $50, 600 900. The payment for the
crop has helped to reduce the unfayor-
able trade balance against the island.
While the price has been fair, had II
been shade higher the production
would have reached $4,000 tons, but
many of the planters preferred not TO
grind believing that prices would be
little better next year The cane
acreage for the coming season is about
one-third larger than during the last
year. 1t is not likely that much of the
new lands which are being planted in
the eastern end of the island in the
belief that tariff concessions will be
made by the United States will have
cane ready for grinding within the
next twelve months, yet there is every
reason to look for crop of 100000 tons
10 $50, 006 tons in the season of 1902.
In this, the great central sugar belt.
another year will bring most of the
plantations up to their normal pro-
duction before the instruction. There
are still many estates around MatanZas
which have not been cleared and re-
planted, but they grow fewer with each
month, and the proba ability is that their
distressed owners either will be closed
out under foreclosure proceedings or will
be able to finance their plantations
through outside aid
In the Cardenas district there are
few estates which have not fully recov-
cred. and it has happened this year
that Cardenas has gone ahead Of Mat
anzas in its shipments. but both ports
have handled more than 700. 900 bags. or
100, 900 tons each Some of the bad belt
as it is known, is stll under partial re-
cultivation, Z but this is because these
poor lands do not pay for raising sugar
at present prices. Most of them
are held out as bargains to
Americans who think that all sugar
lands in Cuba are the same. and who
sometimes are led into buying wherever
they can see cane growing.
The Cuban planter is going through
an industrial and a social revolution.
The old baronial estates are passing
away. The individual planter is becom-
ing less and less a factor He talks
of the old-time feudalism Just as the
Southern cotton planter used to talk OF
1t, and he grieves over the new condi-
lions which reduce. his own Importance,
but there is no remedy. His hospitality,
where he has the means. is as princely
as in the past, and If he has been able
70 get large enough advances on his
crops or to find some corner of the
plantation which was not already mort
gagged. he still counts on the season in
Paris, London or Saratoga with his
family, but with the creditors pressing
him and the new conditions of produc-
ton to be met, it is only in a few cases
hat he is able to take this vacation.

CUBAN'S DEMANDS
The Withdrawal of Our Troops Necessary
to their Happiness

Captain James Mackay, transporta-
ton master for the government dur
ing the late war, says, as he was leav-
ing Havana Tuesday evening, he heard
that the Cubans made a peremptory
demand for the administration to move
all the American troops from the is
land in thirty days. No threat was
made but he says he saw evidence of
an ugly temper while in Havana.
He is we'll known there and has
many Cuban friends. He saw the large
delegation which waited on Gen. Wood
Tuesday, and made so many demands
on him. They were ugly and all car
ried Cuban flags while the American
flag was conspicuous by it's absence.
Several Cuban leaders here admit
that they have information from Ha-
vana that the demand has been made
for the withdrawal of our troops.

Character ToId bv Lin.

whether or not we believe in phre-
nology, physiognomy and kindred sci
ences, there are some peculiarities of
feature that are quite often Indicative
of certain traits of character" said an
observant man. From no one feature
of the face can the disposition be more
accurately read than from the lips and
especially the upper lip. The lower one
is less prophetic.
"A person with a short, sharply
curved upper lip is nearly always of a
happy, lovable disposition. One with a
short but straight upper lip is apt to be
his tastes. The person with a long,
straight upper lip is the one to beware
of. He has a will like adamant, is not
always thoroughly trustworthy, is apt
to be quarreisome and jealous and is
more often than not an unmitigated
politician. If he is gifted with strong
intellect, he will make his mark in one
way or another; if he is not, he may
become a harmless person, a parasite
or a scoundrel. The man whose upper
lip protrudes is apt to be a shrewd
business man.
'The person whose mouth has a de-
cided droop at the corners may be hui
morist, hypochondriac or a poet The
possessor of 4 mouth curved in the
style of Cupid's bow is indeed happy,
for in nine cases out of ten he also
possesses a refined, aesthetic and yet
practical nature, susceptible to every
beautiful and ennoblipg influence

A Long Range Duel.

An interesting story is told of a due,
between the Beer General Botha and a
British sharpshooter called Sampson.
This encounter took place during the war
of 1881, when the British first learned
to their cost the deadly aim of the Boer
marksmen
Sampson had taken up a position be-
hind large bowlder and was preparing
to ''pick off, the enemy when Il bullet

yards away, knocked off his hat
Waiting until he caught a glimpse of
the Boer. Sampson fired. He was SO
satisfied that he had hit his opponent that
he inconsiderately raised his head and
instantly got a bullet in the neck. The
Boer, convinced in his turn that his an
tagonist was dead, rose to his knees. He
was struck in the shoulder by another of
SIMPSONS bullets, but before he dropped

The duel continued until each man be-
came unconscious. They were found
later by their comrades and carried off
the field in a dying condition. Happily
both recovered. The Boer was General

No incident of the many that are

which centers about Ellen Parce, the
wife of Mr.. David F. Parce, of No.

story is told by Mrs. Parce as follows:
at was two years ago this summer
that l was in a miserable condition as
the result of hard work. 1 was COM
pletely run down, pale and losing flesh,
and so nervous that 1 could not sleep
or even get rest. 1t was dreadful to
go to bed at night all worn out and
lie awake for hours with nervousness
If 1 did fall asleep it was to wake
up in the morning as tired as when
went to bed.
my head troubled me a great deal,
too, both with pain and dizziness. If
stopped over at any time 1 would be
so dizzy 1 could hardly see or keep
from falling down. 1 was troubled
somewhat with Indigestion at this
time, but the nervousness was the
greater trouble. If 1 became a little
excited my hands would shake so
could hardly hold anything in them. l
felt that something must be done, so
employed our best physicians. They
did all they could for me, and although
obtained some benefit from their
treatment, not one of them did me
any permanent good.
81 had, of course, read of DR.. Will
Jams Pink Pills for Pale People, but
had never taken any of them till a
friend recommended them to me so
strongly that 1 got some, and before
, the first box was used up 1 began to
feel that they were doing me good.

rections and got from them the only
real, permanent benefit I have had
