he knocks out. When he recoyers the

He wins as many more as he knocks

make or lose faster. 1t is the business

sneaks home in the evening, feeling
guilty and extravagant with an aching

ZANZIBAR DUTY INCREASED

on Articles from United

WASHINGTON. July 2s.-The United
States government has sssented to an in
crease of the duties which may be col
lected by the government Of Zanzibar on
American goods entering that country, from
the present rate OF 5 per cent to a rate Of
10 per cent.
The zanEibarian ports are under British
protectorate and 1t is reported that the
increased revenue from customs is abso-
lutely necessary to maintain the ports and
defray local expenses. By an arrangement
made at Brussels many years ago the COM
merclal nations agreed to allow the Zanzi-
harlan government to collect an import
duty OF s per cent. just as was done in the
case of foreign goods entering China, and II
is this arrangement that is to be changed.
OF course the consent OF the United
States is = given with the understanding
that other nations will take the same
stand. Furthermore. the new arrangement
must be ratified by the senate. at its next

CONDITION OF THE MISSISSIPPI
Commission Having In Charge the
Work of Improvement Makes It's
Annual Report.

WASHINGTON. July ss.-The Mississippi
River commission. having in charge the
work OF Improvement Of the river from the
mouth Of the Ohio to the head Of the
passes, has submitted its annual report to
the chief OF engineers. The estimates for
the fiscal year. 1904, are;
, Continuing work under the commission,
81, 000, 600; protection of banks at Csruthers-
VILE, $4,000; harbor at Memphis, Tenn,
$50, 0O0; harbor at Greenville, Miss, S25, 900;
preservation Of works at Delta Point, La,
S25. 0OO: harbor at NatcheE, Miss, and VI
dalia. Las, 800, 900; ~rectincation Of Red aud
Atchafalaye rivers, Louisiana. $50, 1000; har-
Dor at New Orleans, La, 100000.
On the first OF the present fiscal year a
balance OF So sac, 264 was available for i'm
provement of the river. A statement is
made showing that since the organization
Of the commission. in 1879, until the pres
emit time, the total amount Appropriated
for that portion Of the Mississippi river
under the commission has been 34S,57 500.
The report speaks of the success of the
dredging feet and recommends an increase
In the number and capacity. by which the
present standard depth. nine feet. and $50
feet wide at low water, can be increased to
advantage. The report further states that,
owing TO the failure OF any appropriations
since 1900, work has been restricted to such
repairs Of existing work as were possible
with the balances on hand.
The report shows that the Improvement
heretofore made are generally in a good
condition. but in places damage has oc-
CURED by reason of lack Of funds to carry
out existing projects. Speaking particu-
larry Of the ievees, the report says:
The cubic vardao "a If The Iovaaa Loaf IN
caving during the last year has been about
three-quarters Of 1 per cent Of the amount
already in place. The average amount an
nually lost for the last six years, during
which time records have been kept, Is not
In excess Of two-thirds of 1 per cent. 1t Is
probable that In the near future this rate
Of loss will be temporarily increased, owins
to the proximity Of caving banks in many
localities. In several cases the question
of a new location is complicated by the X
istence OF old rivers, lakes or other OBJ
structions In the immediate rear of the
levee line"
1t is shown that in the construction o
levees along the Mississippi river during
the last year the United States has bull
3s1,679 cubic yards and the states by which
the river flows 1,473, 1872 cubic yards.
In connection with the surveys of tn,
river the report says:
"Releveling parts Of the line along tn,
lower river has shown discrepancies which
indicate a geological disturbance along tn,
shore of the Gulf of Mexico. The interest
ing question thus raised makes 1t high.
important that the line below the OK
