VENEZUELAN ARBITRATION.
MIR. Bowen Submits a New Pro-
tocoI to the Allied Powers.

Washington, April 2e.-Mr. Herbert
W. Bowen, the Venezuelan plenipo,
tentiary has drawn up a new protocol
for the determination by The Hague
Arbitration Tribunal of the question
whether the blockading Powers shall
be entitled to preferential treatment
in the payment of their claims
against Venezuela. This has been
presented to the British ambassador
and copies furnished to the dipolmatlc
representatives of Germany and Italy.
The new instrument contains all the
points On which the negotiators prac-
tically are in accord, except one,
which, it is thought, will be amicabiy
adjusted.
The allied Governments having de-
termined not to press the ponit OF con-
sideration by The Hague Tribunal OF
whether or not Venezuela shall be
compelled to pay the expenses OF the
blockade, the, new protocol contains
no provision OF that point. The docu-
ment has been transmitted to London
By cable, and an early reply is expect
ed by the ambassador, which will au-
thorize him to proceed with the con
side-ation of the matter. According
to the protocol the arbitration tribunal
is to be appointed by the Gar OF Rus
sia, and will meet ON the lst OF Sep
tember.

HoRMaHs MUST LEAVE GERMANY

Berlin, April 26.-Hugh J. Cannon,
the Mormon missionary, intends to
appeal to Emperor William for per-
mission for the Mormons to remain in
Germany, hoping that his .Maiesty's s
policy of religious tolerance may IN
ciude the Mormons.
In his petition Mr.. Cannon sets
forth the morality Of Mormon doc
trines and refers to the inability Of his
adversaries to cite an example where
Mormon teachings have been subver-
siye of the laws of the State Or OF or
derly citizenship; he declares also
that by the commsand of the supreme
authority of the Church polygamy is
not taught.
Last Wednesday Mr.. Cannon sent to
the Emperor and the Empress copies
Of the Book of Mormon in German. II
no ala is extended to the Mormon mis-
sionaries by Emperor William, and il
the orders of expulsion are enforced,
all the missionaries will leave quietly.
Mr.. Cannon expects the United
States to intervene in case where the
missionaries have been maltreated, as,
for intsance, in the affair at Olsen
bruck, Prussia, last January, when
two missionaries were dragged through
the streets of the town and imprisoned
for three days. They we're deported
to Hanover, where they were again
placed in Jail and later sent to Ham
burg. Affidavits of these occurrences
have been forwarded to Senators
Kearns and Smoot, who, it is said
here, have asked Secretary Hay to de-
mand an apology from Germany in
this matter, on the ground that Amer
icaa citizens were treated brutaily.
Among the converts to Mormonism
made in Germany are several po'1ce-
men who were sent to observe the
missionary meetings.

A Great Battle in Africa.

Alden, Arabia, April 25.-Brig.
Gen. Manning, after an engagement
with the Mad Mullah's forces, has
relieved Col. Cobbe. near Gumburru,
Somaliland, forty-fye miles westward
of Galadi. About two thousand OF
the Mullah's men we're killed. The
British loss is not known.
The few details obtainable OF the
disaster to Cob Plunkett's detachment
on April IL show that the Mullah' g
forces consisted of 2,000 horsemen and
10, GOO spearmen. They surrounded
Col. Plunkett's force in the open and
the. Somalis, sitter heavy rife IRE,
charged repeatedly, with their horse
men and spearmen, on all sides. The
British detachment held out until Its
ammunition was exhausted and then
charged with the bayonet, but 1t was
ultimately overwhelmed BY weight OF
numbers. The British force fought
until all it's officers and ITO men were
killed. Most of the handful of men
who reached the camp we're wounded.
The Somalis' losses are reported to
have been enormous.
The Mullah's forces are reported to
aggregate from 1900 to 4, 600 mounted
men and about $4,000 spearmen.

There wilt be 0nly One More
Partial Eclipse Of the Moon.

News and Courier.
The most interesting thing about
the partial eclipse of the moon last
Saturday night is that the youngest
child living today will not live to see
another partial obstruction of the
moons light, except the partial eclipse
which will take place on the night OF
October 9Th next, and which will be
Invisible in America. After that, the
astronomers say, the eclipse will be in
totality, and will so continue for CEN
turies, at intervals, which will be
calculated and duly recorded by the
professors in the observatories. The
ancient Assyrians are credited with
having discovered that the partial
eclipse of the moon extended over a
period of eight hundred years, and
then became 'ttotal,'' and SO contin-
ued for from seven to eight centres.
The calculation of the time and dura-
tion of eclipse is one of easiest tasks
of the student of the movements of the
heavenly bodies and the time that the
planet enters the shadow Of the other
planet is figured out as accurately as
the rising and the setting of the sun
and the movements of the tides. After
next October the babe who sees the
partial eclipse of the moon then will
have to live to the year 27o0 to see
another.

A farmers Conference Organized by

Mayesville, S. c., April %, 1908

Mayesville, S. c., April %, 1903
Editor The Watchman and Southron !:
Moved with a deep desire to do the
greatest good to the greatest number
Of people, invitations we're prepared
and sent to the homes Of as many farm
ers as possible eliciting their coopera-
tion in matters Of reform. The response
to the call far exceeded our most
sanguine expectations. A great number
of farmers and representative citizens
from this and other counties met in
the Mayesville Educational and In
dustrial Institute on the 18th inst,
and discussed questions of vital I'M
portance; such as, how to buy homes
and farms, and how to improve them !;
how to raise stock, hogs, cows, horses
and poultry. The discussion OF these
questions led to the formation Of a
farmers conference which will meet
annually hereafter on the first Satur-
dsy in February. This conference was
organized in connection with the
Mayesville Educational and Industrial
Association, and will be known as
The Farmers Conference of the Mayes-
vile Institute. It will, no doubt, be
of interest to you to know that the
school is steadily gaining the conf
denee of the people both North and
South. Much attention is being given
to the inustrial training of the boys
and girls which is indispensable to the
we'll being of every individual.

Weekly Crop Bulletin.

2 Columbia, April %. Section Direct
or Bauer OF the local agricultural
bureau has issued the following report
on the weather and crops for the week
just ended:
"The week ending p NJ, Monday,
April 27, had a mean temperature of
about So degrees, which is about de-
grees below normal. There were no
warm days and the nights were unus-
ually cool, with general frosts on the
23rd and Oath, and with thin ice in the
northern portions on the latter date.
The damage done by the frost was
slight, though tender vegetation was
killed in places, but the frosts we're
light in those sections where field crops
are generally up. The cool weather did
harm by retarding the growth of crops,
and by preventing rapid or Favorable
termination of planted seeds. 1t also
caused young corn and cotton to turn
yellow and look sickly. High winds
prevailed at times that had a bad
effect upon cotton.
t'The precipitation was light and
confined to the first and last two days
with an interval of dry weather that
permitted rapid progress OF farm work.
Hail occurred over the northern por-
tions on the Goth that destroyed much
tobacco in Marion and adjacent coun-
ties. There was another hail storm
on the 22nd that did little or no dam
age. There was also a furry Of snow
in Lancaster county on the latter date.
The rain at the close of the week
was beneficial, by softening clay soils
that had become baked and hard and
that broke up cloddy.
"Corn planting is almost finished
in the eastern and central counties,
but made slow progress in the extreme
west where lands continue too wet.
Corn that is up looks sickly, owing to
cold weather, and stands have become
broken from the ravages of birds and
worms to such an extent that some
fields are being plowed up and replant-
ed. First cultivation is general in the
eastern counties.
a 3sCotton planting made rapid pro-
gress over all except the extreme wes-
tern portious, and is nearly finished
in the central and eastern counties,
Aeah1AS eao P1oAo1 SOeSoSA2 ~ sASoASsAH.s
as early as the average on. The wealth
er has been too cold for the favorable
termination Of cotton seed, and the
growth of that which is just up.
Some cotton is large enough to have
received its first cultivation.
Tobacco plants are doing well, ex-
cept where damaged by worms and
hail, and transplanting has become
general in the more westerly districts,
and is about finished in the easterly
ones. Rice planting is very backward
in the Georgetown district, but has
progressed favorably in other districts,
where much is up to fair stands. The
oat crop shows slight Improvement in
localities, but none over the greater
portion of the State. Lice are still
doing some damage. Oats are heading
low in places, and harvest has begun
in Charleston county. Wheat shows no
improvements, and rust is spreading
rapidly. Truck was unfayorably
affected by the cool weather. Minor
crops and gardens need warmer wealth
