United States Consul McWade at
Canton, under date of April Z, sent to
the state department detailed report
of the famine conditions in Kwang 81
in support of his cabled appeal for
help. He produced a mass of informa-
ton, which he declares to be reliable.
from American missionary and naval
sources in Kai .Kwan Ping, WI Mhow
and other places showing the destitu-
ton and the consequent suffering.
which the consul general says is abb
solutely appalling.
He says that thousands in their des-
peration were selling their children
for from So to SIS each, yet SO many
were offered and so few purchasers
that not all could be sold at even this
price. Mr.. McWade says that so heart
rending were the appeals for assist
ance that he had contributed far be-
yond his means and would have given
more had he had the money.
When the report was written the
famine was increasing greatly in Sc
verify and thousands were starving
to death. In one village 200 persisted
from starvation and he said that I'M
less something in the way of relief
came soon thousands and thousands
would starve. Whole families were
subsisting on few ounces of rice a
Gay and eating herbs and leaves. I'm
less the rice and other crops of July.
August and September proved plenti-
full the famine would be only slightly
alleviated.
In conclusion Mr.. McWade says:
''The natives feel that the Americans
have come to them for their and our
mutual benefit and not as their enc
mics nor to benefit anMfiwu-bp (vhBIu9
mics nor to seize any of their lands
under any specious or other pretenses.
That feeling is emphasized by the
great charity of our people at home
who, in their earnest efforts to relieve
and not to destroy, know no religion,
creed, race or nation

City was ablaze in anxious expectation
Bonfires were blazing on the high hills,
red fire threw its rosy glare, search
lights projected their long beams
across the black water, and high on
her terraced throne the Queen blazed
with myriads of electric lights.
Late as was the hour, the crowds
were there Such throngs as the city
had never known before, with un'
quenched enthusiasm and swelling
shouts of welcome. The presidential
party was hurried to the Grand Opera
house, where a great audience had
been waiting and wondering for nearly
two hours, and where he was present

Avoids Political Speeches.
President Roosevelt has delivered a
dozen speeches in Oregon and Wash
ington, but in none of them has he
once referred to the republican party
He has not mentioned the tariff ques-
ton, nor has be discussed the money
problem. 1t is matter of comment
among his party that all his utterances
deal with broad Americanism, with
civic duty and high standards of citi-
zenship and with expansion and the
need of building up of a greater navy.
Seattle, Wash, May 25-Sunday
was spent very quietly by President
Roosevelt. In view of the fact that the
president always reserves the Sabbath
to do as he sees fit, the citizens of Sc.
attic gave him full range to follow his
own inclinations, and Secretary Loeb
said that the president appreciated
this Difference more than public atten-
ton. Saturday was one of the hardest
days that the president has had since
he started on his tour.

The president has manifested his re-

ways They often dine together and
have been closely together good part
of the time since the president crossed

OF $S for every ton of ore produced.

Trail of Destruction in Towns of
Kansas,

Kansas.
Kansas City, Mo-, May 25.-A spe-
cial from Manhattan, Kan, says a cy-
| clone passed over the western part of
Riley county, travelling in north
westerly direction. At .Bala, on the
Rock Island road, two people were
killed and IL injured, several, it is
| thought, fatally. Railroad traffic was
CLICKED for some time on account of
great trees and debris being blown on
the track. The storm was accompa-
MED by heavy rain and hailstorm,
stones as large as hens eggs falling.
Many dwellings and outbuildings were
wrecked.
Eureka, KAMA severe tornado
dipped down on this town, fatally in
Juring Mrs. German and Mrs. Frank
Sample, and seriously injuring a half
dozen others.
Phillipsburg, KAMA tornado at Lo-
gan, a small station east of here, de-
molished about dozen houses, but
so far as known no one was seriously
hurt. Stormclouds were seen in every
direction and it is feared that reports
| OF serious losses will be brought in
later.
Dodge City, KAMA tornado struck
this country nine miles southeast of
here, killing herder, name unknown,
and fatally injuring Mrs. Shane.
The house, barn and windmill of
John Bellman was blown away and
the herd of Warren Browns blooded
horses were killed. Tibb Shane, who
came to the city after physician, says
that he saw over 200 head of dead cat
tie en- route.
Kansas City.-Report that Mulvane,
Kan, had been swept away by a tor

The storm caused more or less damage
at that place, but so far as can be-
learned there was no serious loss and
no casualties are reported.

its 10th year as a producer with the
proud record of $2,S45,000 in dividends
to its credit. For decade the Stand
ard has never missed a dividend OF
from $4,000 to $4,000, except for the
few brief periods when the mine was
closed down on account of labor dis.
turbances. 1t has ore on hand now for
five years more, and men who know
the property say there are $5,000,00O
in dividends yet to come from the

total amount of dividends, with ST..
68S,047 to its credit, but even with that

million dollars behind the Standard.
Another Occur dAlene property
which is making about the same
money as the Standard is the Nam
moth, in which Richard Wilson and the
Standard company are heavy owners.

man, up Canyon creek, in the Occur

ated property, and the miners who own

the results, but it is known that they
are making from $4,000 to $4,000 a
month from their shipments of crude
ore alone, and they are disbursing
about $4,000 month, while putting
the rest into improvements and the de-
velopment of their wonderful mine.
The Bunker Hill & Sullivan is pay
ing $4,000 month from its big mines
