Dogs OF Scent.

SUFFOLK, Va. May 5.-There was a
bloodhound man hunt here yesterday, in
which the quarry was Raymond Farley,
white. charged With forgery, and whose
result disproves a popular theory that
trained bIoodhUunds can be bafiied by
kerosene oil.
When Police Chief Brfnker went TO
Farley's home, he was told Farley was
having dinner. and not suspecting STRAIT
egy he consented 10 wait, but soon
learned that the accused had skipped.
One Of the fugitive's tracks was guard

The trail was followed 10 Pleasant Hill

THE NEW PACIFIC CABLE.
1t Is Expected to BE in Operntton
hetSFeen San Francisco and Hon
oIuIu Within Six Months.

Washington, Nov. 22.-Secretary
Moody, Friday, directed that the Nero
soundings be turned over to the Pa
cific Gable Co.
This action resulted from a confer
ence between Secretary Moody and
Rear-Admiral Bradford, chief of the
bureau of equipment, in regard to the
proposition of the Commercial Pacific
Cable Co. to construct a cable from
San Francisco to Honolulu. The sec
retary has authorized the admiral 20
turn over the soundings made by the
navy department to the Pacific Cable
20. as soon as the necessary papers
have been drawn up.
AS a result of the seeretary's de-
termination to relinquish the sound
ings Of the Nero in return for con-
cessions to the government in cable
rates and in military use of the ca
bic, it is expected that a cable will
be In operation between San Francis
co and Honolulu within six months.
and work then win be pushed on the
line between Honolulu and Manila. Il

The Oldest postmaster in the United
states, in continuous service, Roswell
Beardsley, of North Lansing, near
Ithaca, N. T., died recently at the age
OF 20 years. He had been postmaster
at North Lansing since he was 10
years of age, period of seventy-four
years. His appointment was made
IN 1928, and he must, therefore, have
been originally an appointee of John
quincy Adams, the predecessor of
Andrew Jackson.

The problem that the arbitration
commission appointed by President
Roosevelt has to solve is: Has labor
any rights that capital is bound to
respect 1t ought not to take long to
solve it, and the verdict should not be
IN doubt, for it is a lame story that
has only one side. If capital has the
right to organize, then certainly la
Dor can not be debarred from the
same privilege.

1t is said the southern states are
making a strenuous effort to capture
the cotton industry from the New
England states. They have both the
cotton and the coal. All that remains
for them to do is to properly utilize
labor, and there would seem to be no
reason why they should not succeed.
This, however, can not be done by
forcing children into the mills.

DAINTY WOMEN OF JAPAN.
The Pfcturesque Little Ladies Ger tainay Cannot Be Accused Of
 the Sin of Overeating.

The almond-eyed, dainty little fe- male, of Japan is easily satisfied in the matter of food. She begins the day by eating when she wakes couple of lit tie green plums pickled in vinegar and rolled in sugar. This traditional breakfast of Japan is completed by 9 cup of tea. The dinner, which is brought on a red lacquer tray, is the drollest affair. The yiands are in tiny cups with covers and among them are such dainties as a hashed sparrow, a stuffed prawn, a salt sweetm eat, sea weed with sauce and sugared chili. After these dishes, which are mere ssfrills," the substantial part of the meal is begun. A wooden bowl, bound with copper. is brought in, filled to the brim with rice plainly boiled in water. From this. the flower of Japan fills hei
 bowl--a capacioils one-and. having mixed it with black sauce favored with fish, she then lifts tito her mouth and crams it down with the aid of her ahopsticks. Thus ends her dinnere

SHOE TRADE OF CUBA.
Shipments by American Manufactur- ers Have Been Very Largely
 on the Increase.

From statistics relating to the boot and shoe trade of Cuba, while under United States control, as shown by the last commercial sum mary of the island for. May, 1902, published by the bureau of insular. affairs of the war department, it appears that for the period men tioned purchases, including sandals, were made to the amount of 9,545,- 098 pairs, valued at $6,812,O17, the inn portations coming. chiefly from Spain and this country in the ratio of 73 per cent. for the former, against 26 per cent. for the latter, though q com parison by years discloses the fact that under an equitable adjustment of the tariff rate on merchandise of this class, in effect prior to United States intervention, American man. ufacturers of boots and shoes have largely increased their trade with Cuba.
 Tn connection with this statement the fact is mentioned that during each month of the three calendar years, 1899. 1900 and 1901, the total importations of boots and shoes into the island were $6s0,621, $335,643 and $467,7 ITS, respectively, considerably in excess of the shipments from our customs houses destined for all Eu- rope (excepting the United King- dom), the exportation from the Unit. ed States for this trade being $212,- 9s5, s2S5, ,172 and $4oo,431 during the periods mentioned.

President Roosevelt continues his progress towards recovery and the sec ond operation was in every way sue cessful. It is greatly to the presidents advantage that he has an excellent con- stitution and that he has pot permitted even the exacting duties of his office to lead him into 9 sedentary life which must have made his conyalescence at least slow. That the president is gain. ing rapidly is shown by his active par ticipation in the affairs of the country and his ability to confer with his cab> inet and anthracite coal people.

The edict has been sent forth that the tariff must be let alone, and that the republican party will defend the Dingley bill against all corners. There can no longer be any doubt. No one will now stand with the re. publican party believing that that party stands for tariff revision. 1t stands committed to the present tariff. Although the Philadelphia Press, it. self a staunch organ, and ex-Postmas- ter General Smiths own paper. try ing to get into the tariff revision Wag- on, which it thought would head the procession, has said that the declapa- ton of the Iowa platform represented the progressive element of the party, and although the republican organs throughout the country echoed the same sentiment, the Baltimore Amer ican going so far as to brand the present tariff a tariff for trusts only, the administration has seen fit to ig- nore this just demand 1t has seen fit to ally itself with the forces that are opposed to any revision whatever of the tariff. And you may look the country over and you will see that the trusts are without exception the strongest opponents of tariff revision. The president appears to be hostile to the trusts He seems to want to strike them q blow. He pronounces them a menace to our government. He says he is seeking a remedy for the evil of the trusts. He professes to be after them with all of his rough rider determination. But, re grettable as is the necessity, the peo-. pie will have to ask themselves the question, is he sincere? He cannot be the statesman the people credit him with being and be blind to the fact that the tariff fosters trusts. The Iowa farmers see that. Republican conventions have declared that the tariff fosters trusts and shelters mo- nopoly. Until the president admits those facts, enunciated by his own party, he will have to see his motives questioned. The leaders refuse the direct remedy, the effective remedy, the immediate remedy, and pretend to be looking for something else. They cannot .in doing so escape the impu- tation, the just imputation that they are puttingIup a bluff game in which the people are the victims. Tariff revision is absolutely the first step in the fight against the trusts. That party which ignores it dallies with the trusts it pretends to fight. and all of it's talk is mere buncombe.
