,rhe project of building a woman's
Clubhouse was the natural result of the

kosh has more clubs than any other city
in the State, and there are so many
club women in the city that the matter
of housing them and affording meeting
places became one of momeEt.
Renting was out of the Question, as
there was no suitable structure or struc-

CAPE VERDE ISLANDS
IN GRASP OF FAMINE
Unable to Stand the Awful Strain
Governor General Asks to
Be Recalled.

LONDON, Nov. 9.-The dreadful news
that daily from twenty-five to thirty
men. women, and children die of hunger
IL the Cape Verde Islands. is now Of
ficially confirmed. on one day last week
fifty persons died the most horrible OF
deaths. and government eficials and
newspaper men stationed IN the islands
ask frantically to be released. as they
cannot stand the awful sights.
1t looks now as If the whole popu-
latiOn was to die. for the governor
general wires that the survivors are
reduced to skeletons and totally unfit
for work. while all industry has ceased
and domestic animals die for want OF
care.
The inhabitants of Cape Verde are a
mixture Of Portuguese and negro races
and never showed much power Tor re-
sistance to disease. From this and other
Portuguese cities large consignments OF
food are being shipped with very steam
er TO help the poor starving people.
but unfortunately a most important
factor was forgotten with characteristic
Portuguese negligence. namely. that the
islands are almost without physicians.
As a consequence. the diseases incl
dent to lack of food were allowed TO
spread unchecked, and now that the
omission has been discovered 1t is al
most too late to save the threatened
depopuIation.

SHEEP DEPLETE FOOD
SUPPLY IN YELLOWSTONE
Major Pitcher Would Regulate Herd in
Interest Of Game l,Dimals
n Reservation

Major John Pitcher. acting superin-
tendent Of the Yellowstone National
Park, has made his annual report to the
Secretary Of the Interior. The principal
recommendation in the report is that
some measures be taken TO protect the
food supply OF the increasing quantities
Of game IN the park Alarming reports
about the death OF vast numbers Of
game animals. because OF the destruc-
ton Of the food source in the winter.
were published This year but the major
thinks they were exaggerated.
He asks that power be given him to
regulate the number Of sheep IN the for
est reserve around the park with the
view Of eventually entirely cutting of
the grazing OF sheep in the reserve. The
thorough manner IN which sheep clean
up any ground they traverse has
brought about a failure OF food supply
for the game. About a thousand ante
lope were seen IN the park in the year
Mountain sheep are beginning 70 return
TO Mount Everts as a winter range, and
Il is estimated that a hundred OF them

increase
Major Pitcher suggests that all pos
sible means be adopted to let strangers
know when they are 81 the park, and
asks the completion Of the work Of sur
veying and marking six miles OF the
boundary lines. The total number OF
visitors 20 the park IN the course OF
the year was 1876. Of whom 4 SIS were

MORE LAND is WANTED
IN CALIFORNIA PARKS
Annual Reports of Captain Young and
Major Pitcher.

Purchase OF additional land for Sc
quota and General Grant National Parks
IN California is urged by Capt. Charles
Young. acting superintendent of the
parks. Much land within the bounda-
ries OF these parks is owned by pers0ns
who have held Il for a long time In the
hope OF selling TO the Government. but
are now cutting off the timber. having
despaired OF such sale.
Captain Young says this land can be
had at reasonable prices. and urges in
his annual report that it be purchased
before the timber on IL is destroyed.
Major John Pitcher. superintendent OF
the Yellowstone National Park. devotes
much space ~ his annual report to a
recommendation that provision. be made
for feeding game in the park in the
winter. The danger of the extinction Of
game by starvation in severe winters is
pointed out by Major Pitcher The
country surrounding the park is settling
up rapidly and consequently the range
grows more limited each year.
In the year which ended June 30 Major
Pitcher says the game in the park in
creased At present there are 1000 an
telope IN the park and at least 100 noun

RUSSIA AND JAPAN

Negotiations at Stage to Make an
Early Announcement
Probable.

BERLIN. Nov. NEGOTIATIONS be-
tween Russia and Japan have so far ad-
vanced that 1t is said the announce
ment Of a settlement may be expected
soon.
Terms of the agreement are not dis
closed here. 1t is only reported that a
friendly adjustment of the differences
between Russia and Japan is now as
good as reached, and that al prospect
Of war has disappeared. The foreign
Office. having this knowledge, has re-
ceived the Vienna report that the Gar
and Emperor William have signed a
far Eastern alliance with smiling in
credulity.
Germany's interest in the far East is
regarded as being of too slight a char
aeter TO justify her in even contemplate
ing war in any eventuality Russia
could offer no consideration. now or in
the future. sufficient to bring Germany
into war with Great Britain.

YELLOW FEVER EPIDEMIC
CLAIMS MANY VICTIMS
Conditions in Mexico Show No I'm
provement-Twenty-five
Thousand Cases.

The latest bulletins on the yellow fever
situation at Laredo. Tex, and reports on
conditions across the Mexican border
show the disease is in some respects
worse than has been hitherto Indicated.
DIR. W. B Murray, yellow fever ex-

STARVATION FACES
STRIKERS IN SAXONY
Families Living on Ten Cents Day and
Children Are Dying Rapidly.


BERLIN. Nov. s.-Stories Of great dis
tress in Crinmitschau. Saxony, con-
tinue TO reach here The trouble grows
out OF the strike Of the textile workers
there, which has been in progress for
three months. Not less than 1000 men
are on strike. while 5000 persons are
affected.
Practically the entire population Of
the town is on the verge of starvation,
and many families are living on less
than 10 cents a day. The strikers. not
withstanding they are starving, declare
that they VIII not return TO work until
their demands are acceded to.
Some idea OF the extremity to which
the people are reduced can be gathered
from the fact that the death rate for
the past three months shows an in
crease OF over one hundred women and
more than a thousand children This Is
due to the fact that the burden Of the
strike IN this case falls most heavily on
the families and not on the strikers
themselves.

HAWAIIAN SUGAR CROP
SHOWS GOOD INCREASE
Eight Hundred and Forty Million
Pounds Produced Last Year.
Reciprocity the Cause

The announcement that the Hawaiian
sugar crop of 1903 is 42O thousand tons.
or $40 million pounds. lends special in
terest to some figures recently present.
ed by the Department of Commerce and
Labor, through its Bureau o. Statis-
tics. covering the growth of sugar pro-
duction in Hawaii under the close com
mercial relations with the United States
established by the reciprocity treaty IN
1876. and further developed by annexa-
ton in 1898 These figures show that
the sugar production in Hawaii in 1903
was practically thirty-fve times as
great as that Of the period Immediately
preceding the reciprocity treaty
Prior TO the establishment of the re-
ciProcity treaty of 1876 the sugar pro-
ducticn OF Hawaii averaged about
q, 900 900 pounds per annum Within two
years following the reciprocity treaty
the production had doubled: by another
two years it had quadrupled BY the
end of the first decade under reciprocity
1t was nearly ten times as great, and the
growth during the entire period has
continued at a very rapid rate.
The increase in the decade from 1873
to 1883 was nearly 100000. 600 pounds:
from 1883 to 1898. about 200. 900 900 pounds,
and from 1893 to 1903 about SOC, O0O, 900
pounds. The development of sugar pro-
Guction during the first decade was in
bringing under cultivation land capable
Of producing sugar without irrigation
during the second decade irrigation was
applied in the least difficult sections
during the third decade the development
of irrigation ard application OF high
grade modern machinery 10 production
greatly developed
The irrigation system now applied in
Hawaii Is of great Importance and has
brought under cultivation large areas
which were absolutely valueless for
sugar production without the applica-
ton of water by artificial methods.
More than one-half of the sugar OF
Hawaii is now produced from irrigated
lands.
