requirements OF the Act of Congress.
This bond was prompetly given, ap-
proved and forwarded, and the Marcus
Island Guano Co., to whom Captain
RosehilI had in the meantime transfer
red the title, is now ready to furnish
guano for use in the United States.
The amount of high grade phosphate
rock on the island is entirely a matter
OF conjecture, as no excavations or sur
yeys have been made, but If it should
turn out to be very large, as is alto
gether probable from the position of
the island, then Capt Rosehill, Mr..
Peacock and Colonel Fitch may count
themselves millionaireS 1t is report
ell that a portion of their profits from
the labors of the guano birds will be
used on the island. Capt. Rosehill will
build a marine hospital there. Mr..
Peacock will erect an annex to the
Moana Hotel there, and construct a
boulevard around the island, and Col
oneI Fitch will locate a Looking Back

Colony.
The development of the guano de-
posts of Marcus Island at this time
will prove of great benefit to this Ter
r;tory, for it will afford an abundant
and cheap supply of fertilizing matter.
About 10000 tons per annum of fertiliz-
ers are now used in these Islands. The
rock phosphates are now brought here
from Laysan, Christmas and Clipper
ten Islands, and even around Cape
Horn from Florida, and cargoes of fer
tilizers manufactured from bones are
brought from California Under the
Act of Congress the owners of Marcus
Island are compelled to supply guano
to all who demand it at four dollars a
ton where it is, or eight dollars a ton
at the vessels side, the only restriction
being that it can only be sold to Amer
lean citizens for use in the United
States.
Incidentally. Marcus Island Will af
ford a valuable site for a cable and
coaling station, as it is on the direct
route to Yokohama.

MRS. PRICE ASKS DIVORCE
She Charges the Former Pawnbro-
ker Inspector With Desertion
and Long Non-Support.

Theodore E. Price, formerly pawn brok-
err inspector, and manager of the Price
Costuming company, has been sued for
divorce by Ida Price, whom he married In
Galicia, sixteen years ago, and whom he
is alleged OF have deserted, six years later,
in New York city. The complaint and
accompanying affidavit, filed this morn
ing, tell pathetic story.
Mrs. Price relates that she went toeNeW
York, with her husband, the year they
were married. For six years they lived
there together happily. Then Price de-
cided to come west. He promised to send
for her and the two children Just as soon
as he could make home for them.
From Minneapolis, the complaint says,
he wrote frequently, saying that he was
studying medicine at the university and
was making a bare livelihood by waiting
upon the table in restaurants and as night
Waterman. At first he sent her a little
money, but this soon ceased. Once; he
wrote and asked her to advance-him funds
to come to New York. She did So but he
remained in Minneapolis and never re-
paid the money, which she had earned by
taking boarders. -.
Finally Mrs. Price scraped together
enough money to come here, but when; she
arrived, she says, her husband denied
their marriage and started in a course OF
vilification and abuse, finally bringing suit
for divorce, although he afterwards or
dered 1t discontinued. His letters Will
be introduced in evidence.
Judge Pond has restrained Price from
disposing Of his property here. George E.
Leonard is Mrs. Prices attorney. The
case will come up Saturday.
