Dealing With Moorish Bandits.

Washington. May PA long cable
gram from United States Consul Gen
eral Gummere, received by Secretar,-
Hay, states in substance that Rasouly,
the bandit who kidnapped Ion Perdi-
caris, the American, and his stepsOn.
Varley, had made set Of demands
which the British minister and Mr..
Gummere deemed it their duty to lay
before their governments.
Rasouly demanded that the Moorish
forces should be withdrawn from the
district in which his band operated.
leaving them in control. He asked a
large body ransom, to be collected
from the governors of Tangier and
Fez, who happen to be bitter enemies.
, He further demanded absolute immu-
nifty for himself and his followers from
pursuit or punishment for the kidnap-
ing and other crimes which they had
committed in the past. To cap the eli
max Of his demands, he insisted that
the United States and Great Britain
should solemnly guarantee the observ
ance by the Moorish government OF
the foregoing stipulations.
Secretary Hay had a conference with
the President. and it was agreed that
Rasoulys terms could not be met. To
grant them would be equivalent to
forcing the Sultan of Morocco to alb
dicate in favor of brigand SO far as
a considerable part Of Moorish terri
tory was concerned. Moreover, the
United States government could not,
without establishing a new and dan.
gerous precendent, undertake to guar
antee the acts of another government.
The next step is in doubt. Admiral
Chadwick will be at Tangier by to-
morrow evening on the Brooklyn, to
be followed in the course Of day or
two by the remainder of his fleet AS
the utmost confidence is reposed in the
discretion and judgment Of the ad-
miral, the present disposition is to
leave him free hand to deal with the
case in cooperation with Consul Cum
mere.
1t is reported here that the French
government which, under its recent
treaties with Great Britain, has ac-
quired dominating interest in Mo
rocco. may be rather nervous over any
foreign interference in the affairs Of
that country, and this. it is suggested,
may lead to the exercise by the French
government of some effective influence
in the direction of securing Perdicaris'
release which will obviate any hostile
move by Admiral Chadwick

American Trade in Manchurja.

Washington. May pa report on
American trade in Manchuria has Just
been received at the State Department
from United States Consul Henry E.
Miller at New Chwang, China.
Mr.. Miller says that the entire trade
OF Manchuria during the year of 1899
went through the port of New Chwang
whereas this year there are seven diff
ferent avenues of trade, each doing
considerable business. The consul says
there are no official records from
which to give even an estimate of the
quantity of goods coming In and going
out through the various channels, and
excepting New Chwang,
The foreign imports in 1908 for New
Chwang amounted to $13,314,012,
against $15,641 ,442 in 1899. the largest
import in the history of that port.
Manchuria, the consul says. is ex-
tremely rich in minerals, including
coal, iron. copper, silver. gold and
other kinds, but these have been
worked only in small and crude way
by the natives. Should this mineral
wealth be developed and worked by
rodern methods in a manner fitting
its economic possibilities. Manchuria,
he predicts. will prove to be one of the
richest sections of Asia.
Mr.. Miller says it is mistake to at
tribut to the growth of Manchurian
trade to the building of the Russian
railway, as the bulk of the produce Is
hauled in carts, which compete with
the railroad in haul of 400 miles or
more.
1T IS erroneous to think that United
States has monopoly of the Manchur-
ian trade or that there is no successful
competitor" says the consul, "as there
are four active sources of competition,
each striving for stronger hold on
the trade, and the contest Is so close
that the variation in the value between
gold and silver have a determining in
fluence thereon"
The products OF the hand looms Of
China, known as nankeens, made from
the yarns produced in the various cot
ton mills of China from both native
| and foreign cotton, is the strongest
competitor.
Mr.. Miller says that the growth in
the trade OF the United States cotton
goods in Manchuria represents the
greatest expansion Of United States
trade in the Orient, and the year 1903
was the largest in its history. There
Is reason to believe that considerable
trade came into the country through
| Dalny and Port Arthur. The schedule
OF imports forwarded by Mr.. Miller
shows that the United States has al
most the entire foreign trade in cot
ton cloth passing through New
Chwang.
Mr.. Miller closes his report by say.
ing that the development of the flour
milling business in Manchuria and the
sale Of the cheaper Shanghai flour
have practically closed the market Cor
Unitet States -four at all points ex-
cept Port Arthur.

Presidents Memorial Address.

Gettysburg, Pa, May 31.-On his
toric Cemetery hill, overlooking
ground hallowed by the blood Of $4,000
brave men and in the presence Of a
concourse Of thousands who had as
sembled to pay tribute to the memory
of the nations dead. President Roose-
welt yesterday delivered a notable ad-
dress. On nearly the same spot. No

We have seen several beet fields re-
Gently that had dried out on top with
a crust formed from rains which were
receiving no attention from the own
ers. 1t is strange that good stand
should be expected in field in this
condition. AS soon as the ground dries
on top the harrows should be put to
work breaking up the crust SO the
plants can have some show to live
