THE GERMS OF LOCKJAW
They Are Found In Blank Cartridges
Offered for Sale.

New York dispatch 1.-THE discov-
cry of tetanus germs in blank cart
ridges offered for sale in Newark, N. j.,
has been made by DR.. Richard N. Con-
molly. the bacteriologist of the board
Of health. An effort will be made to
prevent their sale. This discovery is
the result of an outbreak of lockjaw
In Pittsburg, where SO cases followed
a celebration in which firearms were
used. When informed of 1t DR.. H. c.
herold, the president of the health
board, called a special session of that
body to take action, and II possible
enact rules at once to prevent the cart
ridges from reaching the public.
What action will be taken is not
known. The police were called in
consultation Friday night and inform
ed of the matter. They were asked
to induce the dealers to refrain from
making sales, which, in the event Of
accident, might lead to cases Of lock-
jaw.
When DR.. Herold was seen he said
he has had suspicious as to the exist
ence of bacilli in blank cartridges for
some time. His belief was 80 strength
ened by the outbreak of lockjaw in
Pittsburg that he decided to have DR.,
Connolly. an eminent bacteriologist,
make an investigation.

termine the best system of wireless
t~eiegraphy for use on vessels of war
ave ended, and 1t Is a forgone conclu-
sion that the officers In charge Of these
tests will select the Slaby-Arco system.
Preliminary reports have indicated
that this system was the most salts

out that idea. The bureau of equipt

Slaby-Arco system is superior to 9TH

that effect until the final report Is at
hand.
The Slaby-Arco is a German system.
developed by two scientists. Herr
Slaby and Count Arco. 1t was tested in

Twenty Islands Situated OF
Bornean Coast
THE CLAIM NOT A NEW ONE
International Commission VIII be Nee
essary to Decide Ownership.
Controversy Unlikely

London, July pa rumor was cur
rent in the lobby of the house OF COM
mons last night to the effect that some
United States warships has seized
about 20 small islands off the coast
Of Borneo, which, 1t is understood, be-
long to Great Britain, and had plant
ed the American flag on them. 1t cs
probable that a question on the sub
ject will be asked in the house.
American Claims Not New.
Washington, D. c., July 16.-Some
time ago a claim was made to a num-
Der Of islands off the coast Of Borneo
by the United States on the ground
that they belonged to nc nation. Ad-
miral Evans was directed by the de-.
partment to send a gunboat for the
purpose of making surveys and sound
ings. 1t is believed these are the ISL
ands said to have been seized by
American warships.
A plausible explanation Of the re-
ported occurrence is that the COM
handing officer in the Philippines
simply had sent one or more of his
vessels and hoisted the flag Of the
United States over some islands near
the coast of Borneo, which were pur.
chased by the United States from
Spain subsequent to the treaty of Par
is, and that the sovereignty OF the
United States over them had been pro-
claimed formally.
These were the Cagayan Sulu group,
comprising one large and fourteen
smaller islands, and the larger island
of Palawan. These islands were not
comprehended within the boundaries
of the Philippine archipelago when the
treaty of Paris was signed.
The islands of the Cagayan group
are close to the Borneo coast, and the
action of the American naval officials
in formally raising the American flag
over them, if this has been done, has
no doubt given rise to the impression
in the minds of those unacquainted
with the real facts that the United
States had seized the islands.
Philippines Are Widespread.
The Philippine group of islands. &C.
CURED from Spain as a result of the
war of 1898, extends so far southwark
and there are so many of them that it
is not unlikely an international COM
mission will be necessary to decide the
ownership of many of them.
Fortunately there is not likely to be
much of a controversy over the dis
puted islands. State department Off
Gals say the ownership in all probable
ity will be adjusted with little friction.

WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN

Washington, D. G. Specialize
weather bureaus weekly summary q
crop conditions is as follows:
The temperature during the week
ending July 10 was very favorable in
all districts east Of the Rocky noun
tains and on the Pacific coast, but in
the northern Rocky mountain and mid
die plateau regions it was too COOL
with frosts in exposed places on the
eth and 8th. Portions of the lower
Ohio and central Mississippi valleys,
southern Florida, Western Texas,
northern Minnesota, and the southern
Rocky mountain districts are in need
OF rain, but elsewhere there is ample
moisture, northern Iowa, southern
Minnesota, and portions Of the South
Atlantic and East Gulf states having
suffered from excessive rains.
Corn has everywhere made splendid
growth, and Is much improved, though
generally backward, and in portions
of the upper Ohio valley and middle
a. bSdlCb 10 Wttus lu6 early
planted 10 now in tassel In the more
northerly districts, and a considerable
part of the crop has received final cul-
tivatlon.
The week has been very favorable
for harvesting winter wheat, which
work is very largely completed, except
in the more northerly sections. Thrash
ing has made good progress, and the
reports generally indicate light yields.
A feature of the reports respecting
winter wheat is the entire absence of
injury to grain in stack and shock.
n northern Minnesota and North
Dakota spring wheat is thin and head
ing short, and lodging is reported from
the last-named state and Iowa. In Kan
sas, Wisconsin, and the southern part
of South Dakota spring wheat is head
ing well, and very favorable reports
are received from Washington and
Oregon.
Considerable rust in oats is report.
ed from Iowa, Missouri, and Illinois,
and lodging from South Dakota and
southern Minnesota. In North Dakota
and northern Minnesota the crop is
thin and heading short, but continues
promising in Nebraska, Wisconsin,
Michigan, and Pennsylvania. Harvest
is in general progress in the central
valleys. good yields being reported
from Missouri, Nebraska, Kansas, and
Oklahoma, but light yields from the
states of the Ohio valley.
Throughout the cotton belt there
has been a general improvement in
cotton, which has made vigorous and
healthy growth. There is, however,
very general complaint of grassy fields
in the coast districts of the eastern
section and in Texas, the crop being
in a better state of cultivation in Mis-
sissippi and over the northern portion
of the central districts. Boil weevil
in Texas are less numerous.
The general outlook for tobacco Is
very promising, the least favorable re-
ports being received from Ohio, where,
however, the crop is doing fairly we'll.
Only a fair crop of apples is indicat-
ed in the most of the principal apple
states, the most favorable reports be-
ing received from Kansas n Iowa.
Haying has been delayed by rains in
Iowa, Wisconsin. and southern Mime
sofa, but elsewhere has made excel
lent progress. A heavy yield Of clover
and timothy is being secured In the
central valleys.
