Late Blight OF Potatoes.

circular says: Potato blight is threat

the late blight. In no case was it very

ANNEXATION SENTIMENT
1T DEVELOPS AMONG THE cUBANs
A Remarkable Demonstration of
FriendIiness Toward the
United States.

Havana, Oct. 4-The demonstration
which took place yesterday in honor of the
United States government and its admin
lstratlon in Cuba was a signal event in
cuban history. The object was to empha-
size appreciation Of commercial Cuba to-
ward government intervention.
Havana seldom has known such en-
thusiasm. simultaneously all the
principal towns OF the island celebrated.
Every commercial organization, from Cape
Antonia TO Cape Maysi, participated, rep
resenting millions of dollars.
The Havana demonstration particularly
was notable on account of the elaborate
display throughout the city. The day was
observed as a holiday, and civic officials,
together with the commercial organiza-
tions, marched to the palace. The pro-
cession was headed by the mayor. cham
Der Of commerce officials and officers OF
other commercial bodies. They presented
Governor General Wood, in the presence
OF thousands Of spectators, thanks for his
efforts towards relieving financial condi-
tions in Cuba by urging the governRent
Of the United States to adopt a reciprocity
policy.
They also presented a petition request
ing further efforts toward reducing the
tariff on sugar, tobacco, alcohol and other
imports and on Cuban products.
In reply General Wood promised his
efforts in this direction, assuring the peo-
pie Of Cuba that their interests were in
his heart. General Woods response
created most favorable impression, and
fruitful results are expected.
While the demonstration primarily was
designed by the commercial bodies, many
political organizations participated, in
Guiding the ultra Cuban element headed
by Juan Gualberto Gomez. This proved a
sensational surprise.
One hundred thousand persons partici-
pated in the demonstration, either as
spectators or as paraders. In its political
significance, 1t was the first unanimous
demonstration Of all elements in Cuba in
appreciation Of the work Of intervention
Governor General Wood has issued
an order formally dissolving the constitu-
tional convention with the understanding
that IL its services are again desired he
will issue the necessary call
The annexation sentiment was strongly
in evidence in the demonstration here. A
letter, signed by numerous bankers, com
plimented General Wood and asked the
United States to make Cuba's cause their
cause.

Rules.

Des Moines, Iowa, Oct 4.-The conven-
tiOn of the National Grain Dealers ad-
! Journed last night after re-electing It's
old officers, Recommending Memphis, Tenn,
as the place for the next convention,
adopting resolutions memoralizing con-
gress to amend the interstate commerce
law, and condemning bucket shops.
| big fight in the convention and a
probable split in the association was
averted by the refusal of the committee
on resolutions to incorporate into its re-
port resolution prepared by COM
mittee from the Chicago board of trade
condemning the use of sulphur in doctor
/ ing grain. This resolution met such Sc
we're opposition from so many of the deal
ers that a compromise was affected by the
adoption of the bucket shop resolution
and shelving the sulphur.
| The convention adopted in full the ar
bitration scheme reported by the arbi-
tration committee. 1t also adopted a new
set Of trade rules requiring purchasers
to mail confirmation by card of wire bids;
defining immediate" "quick" and
| prompt" shipment; requiring purchasers
to wire mail billing instructions for
prompt shipments; requiring sellers to
notify purchaser on last day before expira-
tion of time specified, if he will be un-
able to fill the sale; making seller liable
to deliver grain up to sample; requiring
sellers to load in accordance with rules
Of originating roads; sender to prepay
all kilograms; surplus shipments to be
handled according to rules Of markets to
which shipped; no grain sold on regular
market terms to be forwarded by pur-
chaser TO interior points without consent
of the seller; requiring shippers to mail
detailed invoice of every shipment.
! G. A. Stebbins Of Red Oak, Iowa, was
telected secretary late last night, after
Former Secretary Charles S. Clarke had
been reelected and declined on account
of private interests.
| In the course of a free ride about the
| city, under the auspices Of the Des Moines
Cereal club and escorted by the Iowa
state Military band, the grain men visited
the capitol. There was an affecting scene
as thousand men, standing in the ro-
tunda and corridors of the state house,
before the draped portrait Of Mckinley,
flanked by the portraits of the two other
martyred presidents, barred their heads in
reverence. The band played the Star
| Spangled Banner" and America" and
/ tears rolled down the cheeks Of many a
spectator. To make the spectacle more
dramatic, a grizzled Chicago veteran,
paused in the attitude of attention before
J the portrait of the president and with
tears streaming from his eyes murmured,
! God bless you"
