The culture and manufacture of bas.
ket willow have not attained in the
United States the degree of perfection
and profit that mark the industry in
Europe. This is for several reasons,
the most important being the relative
compensation of labor and the failure
of the American grower to adopt tho
most improved methods. The grow
ing, harvesting, care and manufacture
of willow require manual labor wholly
unassisted by machinery. The cheap
labor Of Europe has grown willow and
woven It into baskets at ! profit

LIGHT ON DOUBLE MURDER
Events Leading Up to Shooting of Two
Americans in Mexico-Re-
port of the Affair.

Ell Paso, Tex, July 3O-A letter
just received in this city by real
estate firm from a mining man oper-
ating near Aguas Calientas, Mexico
throws some light upon the murder of
Messrs. Way and Latimer several
days ago.
The letter lays the blame entirely
upon the Mexican authorities, and
says there is little chance of redress,
as Gen. Torres, who is the power in
the Sinaloa district will not allow
the American consul at Mazatlan to
send out a true report of the affair.
According to his statement, Torres,
the alcalde, a nephew of Gen. Torres,
went to the city clerk and asked for
warrant for the arrest of Way. This
was refused on the ground that the
American had done nothing. Torres
left and made out a warrant himself
and sent two officers to serve it. The
warrant was issued only for Way, and
when the officers arrived he agreed
to go with them, provided they would
wait until he finished his breakfast.
This they refused and Latimer, who
was Ways cook, walked away from
the men toward the house. The Off
GERS evidently feared that Latimer
was going for arms, and he was
promptly shot. Way, when he saw
Latimer fall, started toward him, and
the officers then turned their arms
upon him and shot him dead.
The letter adds that great indigna-
ton prevails among the local Amer
leans. Both Way and Latimer had
many friends in Ell Paso, where they
formerly lived, and there is talk of
forcing a rigid investigation through
the state department.

COMMENT OF THE PRESS
RUSSIAN PAPERS DISCUSS AssAs.
SINATION OF Won PLEHVE.
Murderer's Injuries Will Not Prove
Fatal-Declares He Had No
Accomplices.

st. Petersburg, July 30.-The news
papers Friday morning were filled with
very long accounts of the assassina-
ton OF Minister of the Interior Won
Plehve. biographical sketches of the
dead statesman and comments on his
character as a man. All the papers
agree that a great personality has
been taken off in the midst of his
work. The Novoe Vremya says:
M. Won Plehve was strong, intellec-
tual man, but most of all he had a
thorough insight and knew we'll what
particular features were wanting to
make up a true balance of Russian
national life.'
Twenty bystanders were injured bv
the explosion of the bomb, but only
seven OF them were seriously hurt.
M. Won Plehve's funeral will be held
Sunday.
Inc newspapers print unusually full
and free accounts of the crime, hav-
Ing been officially notified that no re-
strlctlon will be placed on news or
comment, save as they might inter-
1ere with the work of the police in
unraveling the conspiracy back of the
crime, which work is already well un-
der way.
Ihe recovery of Lego, alias Porozeff,
the assassin, is practically certain.
He is entirely conscious. although suf-
1erlng acute pain in consequence of
the operation in extracting the splin-
ters from his abdomen, face and arm.
| Ihough taciturn, he no longer refuses
| to talk. He speaks Russian fluently.
but with a foreign accent, and de-
clares he had no accomplices. The
assassin carefully avoids giving the
slightest clew to his identity. He ad-
mits it was carefully planned crime.
says he was animated by humani-
tartan motives, and does not express
the slightest regret.
| The assassin was examined by an
Investigating magistrate Friday and
refused to make any statement.
The post-mortem examination of the
remains of Won Plehve shows that his
death was instantaneous The entire
lower part of his face was DESTROYED
and the upper part was shockingly
turrowed by bomb splinters. The ears
were torn off, there was a gaping
wound in his breast, his left shoulder
was mangled, his left arm was broken
OFF between the wrist and the elbow
and his legs were broken. An account
OF the tragedy published Friday after
noon says the assassin attempted to
commit suicide by shooting.

Esopus, N. Y, July 30-Mayor Nc
Clellans yatching trip to Esopus was
the main topic of interest in the early
hours here Friday. Judge Parker is
said to have received his first knowl-
edge OF the contemplated visit from
the newspaper men. He knew that the
mayor expected to visit him on the
Sapphire, but was not looking for him
before next week. Judge Parker said
Friday that Mayor McClellan's visit
was first mentioned by Judge Morgan
J. O'Brien. The mayor had been in
v1ted to accompany the Tammany dele
cation to Rosemount on Wednesday,
but sudden press of municipal busi-
ness prevented his acceptance of the
Invitation, and the date was left open.

In order to preserve the features of
those who have died it is proposed by
a Russian to embalm corpses by cast.
ing around them solid mass of glass.
This would be perfectly transparent,
and as no air could get in the feat.
ures would be preserved Indefinitely.
OF course, it is not possible to pour
molten glass directly on the body, so
it is first coated with thing coating
of silicate. This is allowed to harden
and forms a protective coating. The
body is then put in a mold and melted
glass poured around it.
