Commission Has Had
No Meeting For
a Month.
(rrom Wednesdays Advertiser)

(ETOIl wednesday AuNtTtlSeTD
For about five weeks there has been
no meeting of the County Act Commits
sion, no quorum being present.
The Commission started out bravely
with its five members, comprising II.
Il. Cooper, the chairman; Clarence
Crabbe, Il. NJ. Watson, Fred Beckley
and Secretary McCants Stewart. A
clerk was selected and for n while no
other body had so much, work on its
hands. Representative citizens gave
their views on the subject at various
meetings, and a deluge of letters from
all parts of the islands told the Com
missoners at the beginning just how
to start county government, how many
counties to organize, etc. Then Beck
ley departed for Molokai after attend
ing about three meetings and he has
not been present since. Stewart after
wards left for the mainland, leaving
only Cooper Crabbe and Watson on
deck At no time In the past five
weeks have more than two members
been present.
Last night only clerk Avery showed
up, and the janitor closed up the

one member. However, the clerk earn

was cited. that Kingston Is more easily reached by the New York Central (by ferry from Rhine Cliff). the Ulster. Del aware and WaIkill Valley, and the New York, Ontario and Western rail- roads and the numerous Hudson River boats. while Esopus Is available only by way of the West Shore. Those in a position to know do not attach a great deal of value to this rumor. They call attention to the fact that the ex- tensive Improvements at Esopus by the West Shore were not undertaken with out the full Knowledge of Judge Par ker and Mir. Sheehan. and point to MT. Sheehan's deliberate selection of his own summer home at Esopus rather than in Kingston
 The preparations now nearly com plete for the installation of the Judges campaign office and headquarters for newspaper men in the little lodge house by the gate of Rosemount are also cited
 Rosemount has become a centre of eager interest to passengers on all the passing boats. Nearly all of the boats blow a salute as they pass and in the daytime little Alton Parker, Judge Par keer's grandson. answers the salute with big American flag.
 In the evening some one. usually Secretary McCasuland, answers the sa- lute with a rocket or Roman candle. The bugler on the Mary Powell blows taps as the boat leaves Esopus land ing. which is just in front of Rose mount.

ASSUMES KINGLY AIRS.
VicerOy AlexieH Makes Himself Most
 UnuOuular.

Berlin, July 15.-A dispatch to The Lokal Anzieger from New Chang dat ed July II, describes the friction be- tween General Kuropa.kin and Viceroy Alexieff which in connection with the correspondents recent interview wIln General Kuropatkin, indicates that the present dispatch was based on infor- nation from near the Russian head quarters
 The correspondent says Viceroy Alexieff continually disturbs military matters by assuming kingly airs. He reverses Kuroptkin's orders arrogat- ing powers as the emperors direct re- port. When troops arrive at Mukden. Alexieff holds inspections and parades, delaying the soldiers arrival at the front. He sends his own chief of staff twice or three times weekly to To Tche Kino to observe and report on General Kuropatkin's doings. It was reported that the officers corps was almost ready to mutiny against the Viceroy but desisted, believing it to be impossible to influence the em- peror to remove Alexieff. The corres- pendent believes that the present state of things will lead to loss of more bat ties unless Alexieff Is recalled. adding:
 His presence is not useless only but is serious danger to the army"

pLATT AT OYSTER BAY.
New York Senator Talks Politics With
 the President.

New York Senator Talks Politics With the President. | Oyster Bay, L.. l.. July 15.-United States Senator Thomas c. Platt. of New York, arrived here to-day and had conference with President Roosevelt. The Senator came by invitation of the President, who desired to consult him regarding the outlook of political af- fairs in general, and in New York State in particular.
 few days ago the President held an extended conference with Governor Odell and it was with the idea of ob- taining the benefit of the views of both of the New York leaders that he invit- ed Senator Platt to visit him to-day. President Roosevelt is seeking the counsel and advice of Republican lead CTS throughout the country in whose capacity and wisdom he has confidence. Some of the men he sees personally if conference can be reached without too great inconvenience, but with many he exchanges views by correspondence. His personal mail aside from his of ficial business Is very heavy and he devotes much time to 1t each day.
 Accompanied by his secretary. Sem ator Platt arrived by train from New York. The President had sent to the station one of his carriages to convey
 
 were made in the village, Senator Platt being driven directly to the Presidents s home.
 Senator Platt was the guest of Pres ident Roosevelt at luncheon and spent several hours with him. He then went to Manhattan Beach, where he received a few friends tonight, who congratu- lated him on the seventy-first anniver- sary of his birth.
 Regarding his talk with the Presi- dent, Senator Platt said:
 'I had a pleasant talk with President Roosevelt We discussed national poll tics and to some extent politics in New York.
 We did not consider the subject of the Republican gubernatorial nomina- tion at all Our conference did not re- late to the ticket. Concerning possi- ble nominees for Governor or for any other office, there is nothing I can say at present. Perhaps after I have con- suited with Republican leaders over the State I may have something to say; but not now"
 Through Secretary Loeb. the Presi- dent is in receipt of a telegram from D. J. Davis of Wilkesbarre, Pa, one of the officials of the United Mine Work CTS, saying it will not be possible for the miners committee to come to Oys- ter Bay to-day or tomorrow as re- quested by Secretary Loeb, but the com mittee would come early next week if that be satisfactory. MT. Davis teles gram indicated that the committee to present the Colorado petition will be appointed at a meeting of miners to be held next Sunday,

NO SETTLEMENT REACHED.
Matters Still at Issue Between Panans
 and General Davis.

and General Davis.
 Panama, July 15.-Nof settlement haa been reached on the questions pending between the Republic of Panama and the authorities of the Canal Zone. The Panama Government is firm in the be- lief that the only correct interpretation Of the canal treaty is that until the canal shall be constructed all parts Of the isthmus are under the direct turis- diction of Panama.
 The fact that the relations between the Panama Government and Major General Davis, Governor of the Canal Zone are very cordial, leads the people of the republic to hope that the aues- tions at issue will be satisfactorily set- tied.
 One of the results of the situation arising out of the decree issued by Governor Davis establishing a custom house in the canal gone and the order compelling all steamers departina from La Boca to secure clearance pa- pers from the United States authori- ties. Is the union of all political par- ties toward a common end.
 The last act of the assembly befors adjourning today was to unanimously approve a proposition that all the Con- gress should go to President Amador and offer their services in aiding the Government to defend the rights of the nation.
 The President was deeply moved by this action. which proved that all po- litical parties are with the Government in its attitude.
 In addressing the Congressmen, he said he had absolute faith in the Gov ernment of the United States. whose generous and noble conduct toward the South American republics left no doubt tharthe canal treaty would be correc.- iy interpreted.

Another Story of Great Russian
 Achievement.

Liao Yang. July 15.-General Samson on seriously checked the Japanese ad- vance in the direction of Yinkow, July II. His Cossacks ambushed the Jap anese column and put 1000 out of ac- tion
 The Japanese attempted to advance to Ytnkow along the coast, but they were hindered by the marshy country, which also increased their difficulties in carrying off their dead and wounded during the retreat
 The Russians had expected a move- ment in this direction and company with two guns lay in ambush in the high grass. catching the Japanese in the most difficult bart of the coast road and shattering their advance column The artillery fire of the Russians was splendid and the Japanese were unable to make an effective reply.

RAIN FOR THIRTEEN DAYS.
Heavy DownpOurs Causes StandstilI in
 HOnduran Business.

Mobile, Ala. July 15.-The fruit steamer Hiram. which arrived this morning direct from Puerto Cortez. Honduras. with a cargo of bananas, is the first vessel from that port since the recent flood.
 Her officers state that rain fell for thirteen consecutive days, flooding the railroads and nearly all the plantations, causing business to be almost at a standstill. Much fruit was destroyed, and the plantations fortunate enough to escape an overflow could not be reached on account of the flooded con dition of the country
 The Hiram had to lie at anchor six days to await the subsistence of the water before a. cargo could be secured. No loss of life was reported.

EXTENT OF LOSSES DOUBTED.
Russia Believes, However, That Japs
 Were Defeated.

St. Petersburg. July 16.-(2:16 a. m.) The lack of further news regarding the engagement at Port Arthur on the night of klly 10, Is very puzzling. That the Japanese were severely dealt with is not doubted here, but in the absence of further information, the extent of the disaster that befelI them Is begin ming to be seriously questioned.
 Definite news has been received from Viceroy Alexiefrs headquarters at Muk- den that the week before the engage ment at Port Arthur, Major General Fock administered a severe defeat on the Japanese, July 4 and 5, driving them from the heights commanding Lhhsantan Pass with a loss of 200. This IS considered here as proof that there has been heavy fighting before the for tress of Port Arthur and as making the silence of Tokio regarding it all the more significant.

Washington. July Do F. Cook, the discoverer of the Guatemalan boil weevil- eating ants. has wired the De- partment of Agriculture from Texas that the ants are destroying cotton boil weevils and are attacking similar injurious insects with even greater activity than they do the boil weevii.
 Another important fact is that the ants do not injure at all the lady bird larvre. which are beneficial insects. Nil. Cook reports that the agricultural value of the ants now depends chiefly in the acclimatlon and rapidity or nropagation. These matters are being investigated.
