LOCAL FACTORS LACK FAITH.
Take no stock in the New Florida
Naval stores Co.

Take no Stock in the New Florida
Naval stores Co.
Information was received in Sayan-
nah yesterday through a Jacksonville
dispatch to the Morning News, of the
organization of a new naval stores
company with capital of $10, 200, 900. The
information given is that the incorpor-
ators are Charles H. Scott, William S.
Harvey, John M. Bars and ]. Tay-
Tor Scott. that the headquarters of the
concern is to be at Jacksonville, and
that business is to begin when $1,000
900 of stock has been issued and paid
for.
Local naval stores men discredit the
report that the new concern is of any,
thing like the Importance that its cap
italization would imply. or that it will
even play much of a part in the trade.
To begin with. said one prominent fac
tor yesterday in discussing the matter
none OF the men mentioned as incor-
porators has before been connected
with the business. Harvey is a Phil
adelphian, who is known to the factors
chiefly as a promoter. He secured a
large diuOulI OF lanu IN southern Flor
Ida, claimed by him to be a million
acres, presumably by paying back taxes
on 1t after it had reverted to the state
for the non-payment of taxes. Then
ne attempted to make a consolidation
of the entire factorage business of the
naval stores belt. and to this end held
conference with the factors once at
Atlantic Beach, Fla, and again at Old
Point Comfort. when there were also
present few New York exporters. He
was anxious to form some plan to use
his timber, and to this end proposed the
consolidation. He claimed to have or
ganized the cotton seed consolidation.
OF the other parties mentioned as in
corporators. Charles H. Scott was for
merly engaged in the real estate BUSH
ness in Montgomery, while John M,
Bars is an attorney of Jacksonville
The last named was reported a short
time ago to be organizing another COM
pany with a capital of $1,000, 900, J.
Taylor Scott is not known here.
AS showing how impracticabfe 1t
would be for a company of such size
to do business the factor stated that
the whole naval stores business of this
country. both factorage and export,
could be done with such a capital as
is named in the charter. His inference
was that the company wouldn't get
much of the business unless it bought
1t outright and further, that despite it's
charter, the capital will be but a very
small part of that mentioned in the dis
patch.

Democrats Would Name Him Tor Gov
ernor Of Massachusetts.

Boston, Aug. 20.-Lieutenant Cen
eral Nelson A. Miles is being advo-
Gated as the Democratic candidate Tor
governor this fall by the anti-Gaston
faction. According to those who 40
not approve of the nomination Of Colo
mel William A. CASTOR the nomination
of General Miles would absoiuteiy
urify the party in the state. Further
they are sufficiently optimistic to be.
lieve that his candidacy would appeal
to enough Republicans to insure his
election.
They point out that he would get
the old soldier vote almost solid, re-
gardless of party. and that public SYM
pathy, resulting from the circum'
stances attending his retirement from
the army. would operate greatly TO
his advantage at the polls. Further
that the Republican element which Is
onnosed to Governor Bates would a.
willingly vote for General Miles a
= for Colonel CASTOR.

such as the appointment of Christian
governor general of Macedonia. This
idea, however. does not find support
in diplomatic quarters, where the con-
viction prevails that Russia is work
ing in full agreement with Austria.
No difficulty is anticipated on the
part Of Turkey to the acceptance of
the Russian demands. with the pos
sible exception Of the appointment Of
the European officers to command the
gendarmerie This is likely to arouse
opposition and it is thought that Rus
sian anticipation thereof led to the
despatch Of the squadron, the presence
Of which was hardly required to en-
force fulfillment of the other terms.
The ambassadors Of the powers have
again drawn the earnest attention OF

Paris, Aug. 20.-It Is learned in Of
ficial quarters that the action OF Rus
sia in ordering naval squadron TO
Turkish waters may be speedily fol-
lowed by important joint naval action
on the part of the powers. Communi'
cations are at present being exchanged
between the powers relative to joint
naval demonstration before Salonica.
The final determination will depend
largely upon Russia. but II joint
demonstration is determined upon the
fleets of France and Austria will cer-
tainly cooperate and it is probable
that the fleets of all the European
powers having Turkish interests. ex-
cept possibly Germany, which through.
out has not favored taking energetic
steps against Turkey. will take part
in the present demonstration.
In the meantime the Russia squad
ron will not proceed to COnstantinople
as has been reported, but will rendez
vous at small port of the vilayet Of
Adrianople, above the entrance of the
Bosphorus. For the present this
squadron has not orders to assume ar
aggressive course. Its action will de
pend on Turkeys fulfillment OF the
terms of Russia's final demands ir
connection with the assassination ol
Consul RostkOvski.
Besides the Rostkovski incident the
proposed joint naval action before
Salonioa is due to the earnest repre-
sentations of the foreign cOnsuls al
Salonica, who set forth that theil
lives are in danger. The first repre-
sentation on the subject reached the
French authorities several weeks age
and since then other consuls have
made similar representations.

NICARAGUA REMAINS INACTIVE
Nicaragua Taking No Steps to Force
Canal Route on Uncle Sam but Ready
to Open Negotiations.

Paris. Aug. 20-Dr. Corea, former
minister of Nicaragua to the United
States, is here on a vacation trip, but
owing to his extended negotiations
with Secretary Hay on the subject OF
the Nicaragua route for an inter
oceanic canal he is closely following
the reports Of the rejection of the
canal bill by the Colombian senate. as
1t is said that one of the sequels may
be the resumption of active negotia-
tions with Nicaragua. The minister
declined to discuss COlombia's action,
but when asked If Nicaragua was
ready to reopen negotiations he said:
II am not authorized by my gov
ernment to reopen negotiations or to
take any action on the subject In
fact, my instructions are to remain
entirely inactive. Nicaragua occupies
the dignified position Of not wishing
to thrust her route upon the considera-
tion of the United States. We believe
our route to be superior from every
point of view. 1t should be fully un-
derstood that the last two isthmian
canal commissions pronounced the
Nicaragua route to be superior, the
only reason for conclusion favorable
to Panama being the difference OF
about $5.000,00C in the item of cost
The statement that the United States
Is not likely to turn to Nicaragua, be
cause of the notorious inferiority OF
its nhvsical conditions is contrary to

Some people, especially strangers,

the difficulty by getting to work on
their own account This sounds quite
sensible and logical, but any one who
has farmed anywhere knows that there
is always enough regular work to be
done on farm to occupy all the time
at disposal, and that the time to kill
gophers is the time to prepare land
and put in crops, and from start to
finish it is one continuous rush, with
one thing crowding something else.
Meantime the pest is to some extent
being killed by one means and another
but not in any great degree reduced
in numbers. The farmer who has his
fields surrounded by miles of prairie
or vacant fields, is at an enormous
disadvantage, for if he disposes O

Steele Ozone: That the gopher or
ground squirrel is the greatest curse of
this country is becoming more and
more apparent. He is an abominable
pest that does ten times the damage
that dry weather inflicts. In fact there
are fields in plenty near town that
the ravening of the meek looking prai
rie rodent there would have been hun
dreds of acres of good plump headed
grain In spots where the pests have
not worked the straw stands up well,
and the heads are filing with fine ker-
nels. From many sources come reports
of the destruction wrought by the
gopher. but the writer has only to
look at his own fields of wheat and
speltz to be assured what is the chief
trouble with the season. Twelve acres
of as fine stand of spelt as one could
wish have been about harvested by
the dental process, and seventy acres
of wheat show fine prospect of
weeds. Rye and fax are not much
bothered and not touched if there are
oats or wheat near. Barley is long
suit for the gopher also.
Something has got to be done to-
ward systematic and concerted kill
ing of this domestic vermin, and we
are glad to see the county board has
taken start in this direction. Mr.
Lyons informs us that a resident o.
Cavalier county told him lately tina

despite the
Superiority Of Our Route
we are not throwing it at the United
States or unduly insisting upon it's
adoption"
The minister was asked whether, If
the United States desired to reopen
negotiations, Nicaragua would demand
new terms and conditions beyond
protocol. He replied:
"Since my government has not given
me instructions I am unable to say
as minister, what the terms or condi
tions will be; but speaking in my pri-
vate capacity | am sure Nicaragua
will approach any new negotiations in
a spirit Of complete frankness and
fairness. She has always considered
the great enterprise as one In which
the commerce of the whole world is
concerned and has never viewed the
subject from another standpoint. but
rather as an undertaking Of interna.
tional magnitude"
The foregoing seems to imply that
the terms of tho Hay-Corea protocol
will continue to operate in the case Oi
new negotiations. but in the absence
Of instructions the minister declined
to discuss this specific point. He does
not appear to regard the reported
failure OF the Colombian negotiations
as necessitating his early return tt
Washington. His vacation plans con
tinue unaltered.
