EXPLORERS IN PERSIA.
Archaeologists Are Gradually Unfolding
the History of Past Ages.


/. Two French explorers, M. Pierre
de Jecquer and NJ. Watlin, have been
carrying on some interesting excava-
tions for archaeological purposes. At
Susa they unearthed large black
marble column, covered from head
to foot with cuneiform inscriptions,
which should throw some light on the
history of that ancient capital. Ac-
cording to the terms the explorers
have made with the Persian govern
ment, they are not compelled to ex-
anime their treasures at Susa, but are
permitted to transport them to
France. Originally the concession
permitted them only to share equal
ly with the Persian government, but
they were molested and attacked by
the natives at Susa, and by way of
compensation they obtained the
right to take everything they require
from Susa. In other parts of Persia
the shah claims his share. Generally
the explorers work four or five
months at Susa, and then before the
winter in Susiana becomes intoler-
able, they migrate to the northern
parts of the country, where there are
ample fields for exploration. In this
way they are gradually unfolding the
history of past ages, and at the same
time adding considerably to the pres
ent incomplete knowledge of Per-
sian geography.-Scientifc Ameri-

CAPTAIN ALBERS FALLS DEAD
Commando OF Deutschland, who Took
Prince Henry Home, Victim of
Heart Disease.

BERLIN. April 29.-Captain A. Albers OF
the Hamburg American steamer Deutsch-
land fell dead OF heart failure in the chart
house OF his vessel. The vessel was ap-
preaching the port OF Cuxhaven. He ex-
pired in the arms Of his rirst officer, who
caught him as he fell. The long hours spent
by Captain Albers on the bridge of the
vessel after the loss Of Its rudder at sea,
which occurred before Deutschland reached
Plymouth and during the passage Of the
North sea, probably hastened the captain g
collapse.
AS the senior captain of the Hamburg
American Steam Packet company, Captain
Albers expected to retire after a few more
trips. Emperor william has sent a tele-
gram to the Hamburg American company,
In which he expresses his sorrow at the
loss OF so excellent and capable an officer.

States. The steering of the rudderless

homeward trip was a master stroke OF
seamanship. Honor to his memory"

American line steamer Deutschland, dis
abled at sea by the loss of its rudder. while
on a voyage from New York. has been ex-
amined and the officials Of the company ad-
nit that the repairs will necessitate laying

court martial OF General Jacob X. Smith
was resumed today Pedro Bella, a boy
''mascot" Of Company r OF the Ninth In
fantry commanded by Captain Thomas W.
Connell. who was massacred by the Samar
natives at Balangiga, testified that he saw
Captain Connells death wound given by a
boy OF 1b. The witness saw several other
boys OF the same age among the natives
who took part in the massacre and thought
he could himself use a bolo against a SOL
dier.
Captain Waldo 8. Aver, General Smith s
hdjutant general, said he had been closely
in touch with all the movements, knew
General Smiths plans. purposes and feel
ings az every phase. He added that on
the generals arrival the coast was de-
serted and he saw the same towns filled
with people when he left. But so far az
the people OF Samar were concerned, he
met only one man worthy OF respect, who
was sincere. patriotic and honorable. He
must admit. however. that the man with
this Qualification was born at Martinique

DENIES THERE is BEEF TRUST
Charles w. Armour Explains High
Price OF Beef L. Due TO
Natural Causes.

KANSAS CITY, Mo, April 29.--(special
Telegram Charles w. Armour. head Of
the Armour interests in Kansas City, said
today that II there is a trust among the
packers he knows nothing OF IL. He said
he would cheerfully obey the summons Of
the attorney general to appear at Jefferson
City on May and tell what he knows about
the charge that a combine exists among
the packers. Mr.. Armour explains high
prices Of meat on the ground of the dry
weather last summer in Kansas, Oklahoma,
northern Texas, Nebraska and parts Of Mis-
souri, which had the effect Of cutting down
the receipts Of live stock in the Ave mar
kets OF the world in an unusual degree.
Another reason, Mr. Armour says, for the
advance in the price OF meats, is the in
creased cost Of commodities used in pack
ing plants. Coal during the last year
has advanced 25 to 80 per cent in price.
Pig tin, which a few years ago cost US
11h cents a pound, now cost us 2s cents,
taking yesterdays closing market for It.
The timber out of which we are to make
our boxes has advanced on an average Of
81 per thousand feet Everything else has
advanced more or less, while the price of
labor is either about the same or little
higher"
Even In the event that a packing trust
shoule be formed Mr.. Armour contended
that the students OF the law of supply and
demand would figure 1t out that the prices
were extortionate and the result would be,
he said, competing companies in the pack
ing business whose managers would be
satisfied with a reasonable per cent on
their investment.
