RETIREMENT OF GENERAL DAVIS

WASHINGTON. ID. c., July 25.-
Major General George W. Davis, com
manding the division of the Philip
pines, will be placed on the retired
list tomorrow by operation of the age
INIT. Several important changes and
promotions among high army officers
follow as consequence of his retire
ment and the eventual result will be to
place Brigadier General Leonard Wood
IN command OF the Philippines in
short time. The retirement of Gener
al Davis places Major General James
f. Wade i'll command of the Philip
pines and promotes Brigadier General
Samuel f. Sumner to the vacancy in
the grade OF major general Major
General Wade is now second In com
mand in the archipelago, and Sumner
is next to Wade. Both these veteran
officers have been in the Philippines
for nearly three years, Sumner having
had service in China under Chaffee be-
fore going to the islands. In recogni-
lion of their long service Wade is to
be brought home and assigned to the
command OF a department. The same
course will be followed in the case of
Sumner thus leaving General Wood,
the senior military officer and in SUI
preme command
With the retirement of General Da-
Wis the government loses one of its
ablest and most honorable and useful
servants. His career. covering more
than forty years, has been full of hon
ors and credit, and few officers of the
army have served the flag in more
widely separated localities. He first
entered the service as a quartermaster
sergeant of the 1lth Connecticut Vol
unteers. November 27, 1861, and ad
yanced through various grades to that
of major in lS65. He entered the reg
ular army as captain of infantry in
1867, was promoted to colonel in 1899
and to brieadier general in 1901, hav-
ing served as brigadier general of vol
unteers during the Spanish war. and
was appointed governor general of
Porto Rico.

COTTON CROP MAY BE
STILL LARGER

WASHINGTON, d. c.. July 25.-
In spite of predictions from the
South that cotton cultivation in the
South is diminishing and that ravages
OF the Mexican cotton-boll weeyil and
the lack of necessary labor Will pre-
vent the cotton output from ever again
reaching its former figures, informa-
lion gathered at the department of ag-
ricultire shows that the officials of the
department whose work it is to study
cotton conditions, are of the opinion
that cotton growing has not yet reach
ed Its zenith. In speaking of the fu-
ture prospects of the cotton crop, John
Hyde, statistician of the department
says:
IF the ravages of the cotton-boll
weevil can be prevented, | do not be-
lieve that the time is far distant when
this country will produce 10000, 900
bales of cotton annually. At the pres
ent the boil weevil undoubtedly con
stitutes serious menace to II. It is
not only the actual damage that this
insect does that operates against the
increase OF the production of cotton
in certain districts, but its moral effect
in discouraging planters from setting
out large crops, is also very serious

CONSIDERATION OF
BISHOP COTTON

NEW YORK, July 25.-The ceremo-

Charles II. Cotton as Bishop of Buffalo
in ST. Patrick's cathedral this morning
We're of most impressive nature
The cathedral was crowded to its ut

The ceremony was conducted by
Archbishop Farley. who was assisted
by Bishops McQaide of Rochester and
Mcdonnell of Brooklyn. Other promi-

WALL STREET ATMOSPHERE

for Making Reduced Rate.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. July 25-Because
Archibald Evans offered to weed sugar
beets at a cheaper rate than the regu-
lar price on the Charles Il. Hershey
farm, west of Owosso, Mich. which

lynch him. Evans. with younger
brother is said to have secretly agreed
to weed beets for s cents a row, when
the schedule price is IL cents. He was
attacked by crowd of workmen. One
secured a rope and lassoed Evans, the
moose settling on his shoulders, and
dragged him across the road towards

A CITY IN PAWN.

BERLIN, July 25.-Tomorrow Will
occur the strange ceremony OF taking
out of pawn city of importance. The
city is Wismar on the German coast
OF the Baltic sea. Being hard pressed
for funds in 1903 Sweden, the owner OF
the city of Wismar, pawned the city to
Mecklenburg-Schwe for l25S.0O0
reichsthaler. With the city went the
districts of Poel and Neuklostcr, both
on German territory. The city was to
be redeemed in 100 years for the sum
loaned, plus 3 per cent interest This
now amounts to matter of S23,O0O.-
900. AS the sum is large and Germany
would look with much disfavor on Swe-
den's possession of part of her terri
tory. the city will be formally trans
ferred TO the loaning duchy.
