pEFAULTED ON INTEREST
Application Has Been Made for {
Receiver of Citizens Telephone
Co. of Sioux Falls.

Several efforts have been made to
introduce a second local telephone
exchange in Mitchell recently, and
many have expressed the opinion
doubling the possibility Of its being
a paying investment. Sioux Falls
is about the only town in the state
which has two exchanges and the
following special from that city to
the Sioux City journal indicates that
the Citizens, the new company, is
having the trials of a second COM
pany:
A suit has been instituted i'm the
United States court in this city by
the Royal trust company, of Chica-
90, and III. q. Amber, trustees, by
which it is sought to have a receiver
appointed for the Citizens Telephone
company of Sioux Falls.
The defendant company a year or
two ago established an independent
telephone system in this city. Many
OF the leading business men and
other residents are stock holders.
The plaintiff alleges that it holds
bonds of the telephone company to
the amount OF 1853, 900. These draw
6 per cent interest. payable semi-an-
nually. 1t is alleged by the plaintiff
that the telephone company has de-
faulted in the payment Of interest in
the sum OF 81, 060, due June !, 1904,
and a similar amount due December
l, 1904, and that because of the de-
fault in the payment Of the interest
the entire amount OF bonds has be-
come due and payable.
The Royal Trust company asks
that it be given possession under
the mortgage held by it and that a
receiver be appointed at once pend
ing foreclosure proceedings.
Judge Garland. Of the federal
court. has fixed January 5 as the
date for the hearing upon the APP
plication. An etfolt is being made
to compromise the matter. and con-
tidence IS expressed in some quarters
that the grounds which furnish the
basis for the suit will be removed
prior to the date set for the hear
ing before Judge Garland.

MINOR LAND OFFICE FEES
MAY HAVE BEEN TAKEN

1t is said that the exact amount of
the alleged shortages in the office of
the Land Commissioner may never be
known, owing to the non-entry of
minor fees for copying of records,
deeds and leases.
All leaseholders are being communi-
Gated with and shown the amounts out
standing against them with a request
10 present back receipts should they
not agree with the territorial book
Keeping. This is a lengthy way of
getting at the heart OF the matter but
u practical one, ana until 1t is con-
eiuded neither the auditor nor Com
missioner Pratt can state what the
defalcation may or may not be.
Plans are being laid to provide for
n check against the possibilities OF
receiving minor fees without entry.
but no satisfactory scheme has yet
been evolved.

UNITED STATES NAVY
LIBELED BY PAVLOFF

The attention of the bureau of naviga-
ton of the Navy Department has been
called to the official report of M. Pavloff,
Russian minister to Korea, which was
gazetted in the Official Messenger, stat
ing that the commander of the Vicks-
burg refused, after the engagement at
Chemulpo, to take aboard his vessel
wounded men from the Russian war
ships Nariag and Korietz. The bureau
produced the following extract from
the report of Commander w. A. Mar
shall, commanding the Vicksburg at Che
mulpo, which the officials regard as a
complete rebuttal:
about IL 80 p. m. February O both
Russian vessels (Korietz and Variag)
headed in toward their anchorage at full
speed, and as they approached it was
seen that the Nariag had list to port
and appeared to be on fire aft on the
port quarter, a number OF Japanese in
pursuit until about mile inside OF Yo-
Dolimi, but not firing, as the foreign
mcn-of-war were directly in line OF fire,
when they gave up the chase and re-
joined their squadron outside. AT IL so
the Nariag anchored about 400 yards To
the northward and westward OF the
Talbot, with the Elba about 600 yards
TO the southwark OF her, On learning
that She had quite a number OF wounded
men | sent our medical officer on board
to render assistance The same was
done by the Talbot, Elha and Pascal, A
lutte later ON, ON is being reported that
the Narmg was in q sinking condition,

SHOULD LANTANA
Be DIFFERENTIATED

The Journal d'Agriculture Tropicale
(TahitD for March copies the article
on lantana from the Hawaiian Forester
and Agriculturist for January, saying
by way of introduction:
The species of lantana, tropical
genus of the verbena family, are prick
ly shrubs, and cultivated in Europe as
ornamental plants, but in warm cli-
mates they are a perfect pest and a
source of great trouble to agriculture
ists This applies more especially to
the lantana camara and the numerous
varieties OF this ubiquitous species. We
hear a universal complaint from In
Ola, Australia, Java and indeed from
all tropical countries. During the first
months of the existence of the j. d. A.
T.. we remember having received a
letter from the Chamber Of Agricul-
ture Of Tahiti, asking our advice as
to the best means of arresting the
lantana pest. At the time we were at
loss as to what answer to give; the
data we have now received will prob
ably be OF nature to give more salts
faction to our correspondence
After quoting from the Honolulu
periodical named the account of the
campaign against lantana here, the
Journal d'Agriculture Tropicale con-
cludes thus:
"Messrs. Koebele and Perkins are
persuaded that by insisting on and
favoring the propagation of certain
other insects. and, II necessary, i'm
porting others (now well known), the
lantana would be entirely destroyed in
the Hawaiian Islands; but the question
arises as to whether 1t would be of
common interest to effect this, and
different opinions exist on the subject.
"Entomologists do not care to take
upon themselves a decision on this
matter, and ask in the first place that
the question should be carefully
studied by the Department of Forest
ry. We will inform our readers as
to the result of this curious debate.
But we can already note the following
in the Tropical Agriculturist of Colom-
DO, (February. 1900:
1--WE are convinced the complete de-
struction Of the lantana Is undesira-
BILE, as. at least in Ceylon, it greatly
contributes to the fertility of abandon
ed fields.'"

utterances of NJ. Pavloff, late Russian
minister to Korea, relative to the con-
duct of the officers of the Vicksburg
in connection with the succoring of sur
vivors of the Russian ships Variag and
Korietz. Naval officers here have shown
considerable feeling over the criticisms
as affecting the honor of the United
States navy, and are DESTROYS OF having
an inquiry made as to why these state
ments are given publication in the Off
cial Messenger, thus stamping them as
official. The State Department officials,
however, are disposed to ignore the in
cident, one OF them explaining that NJ.
Pavlohs utteranceS are, in measure,
pardonable, in view of the great humili-
ations he has suffered. A few months
ago, as Russian minister and agent in
Korea, the king was a puppet in the
minister's hands. and he was the abso-
lutte despot of the country, but within
one day without notice, he found him
self practically prisoner in Japanese
hands, escorted by couple of Japanese
soldiers on shipboard and summarily
expelled from Korea. There is no pros
pect of his return, according to the
opinion here and the man naturally
feels greatly cmbittered Making due
allowances for his state of mind, ac-
cording 10 the State Department OIL
Gals, the department will not notice
the matter

lie Complains Of Graft
in Both Exposition
and City.

ST. LOUIS. MAY 22.-Graft Is ram
pant in this city and particularly on
uhe Exposition grounds. Public spirit.
ed men of St. Louis fear that the greed
Of the people will injure the fair to a
great extent. AS 1t stands now. visit
ars do not tarry long, but take in the
fair without loss Of time and then de-
part, glad to get out OF the clutches Of
ahe wolves of st. Louis.
Almost highway robbery is commit
ted at the Exposition grounds. You
must pay for everything. A glass of
water can only be secured by con-
tributing coin Of the realm. Outside
of the exhibition buildings everything
Is concession. The exposition man
agement receives rs per cent of the
receipts of all concessions, so the man.
agement is in a measure responsible
for high charges. The visitors COM
plain loudly. but no attention is paid
10 protests. The robbery goes on with
sut fear or. hindrance.
Even the heads of the exposition are
TOW being charged with willful e.
travagance-to use mild term. A
receiving large salaries for several
years. Many of them are dra wing
down as high as s25 900 year for posi-
nons that do not require the greatest
executive ability. This extravaganza
has been protested against without
success. About 100 men who hold
stock in the Exposition have refused
hatly to pay up and recently suits were
commenced to force the delnquents
to settle. When these cases are up be-
fore the courts, the extravaganza of
the Exposition heads will receive a
delightful airing.
st. Louis people are not supp ,rting
Abe Exposition in a very satisfactory
there were but 65,3s7 paid admission
not enough to pay the daily running
expenses of the grounds. On the other
hand there We're $4,000 free admissions
during the same time. The cost of
running the Exposition must be very
great. The music alone costs In the
neighborhood of 5000 a day. There
are several renowned military bands
employed. Souza furnishes two con-
eerts each day and is said to receiva
$1,000 for each concert. All other
features are supported on an equally
expensive scale.
OF the Exposition itself no words
but Of praise can be said, but a long
story could be written on the graft
that is present always.

MORE ABOUT THE
MOORISH BANDITS

TANGIER (Morocco), May 2O.-Ion
Perdicaris' family has received letter
from the brigands requesting food and
clothing for the captives, the wealthy
American and his stepson, Cromwell
Marley, British subject, stating that
both are well. The captives are detain-
ed four hours outside of Tangier,
where Correspondent Harris of the
London Times was confined. A tribe
loyal to the Sultan has offered to
rescue the captives, but the offer was
declined, because the Sultan feared
that it would imperil the captives'
lives.
WASHINGTON, May 2O.-Mr. Per-
dicaris, the wealthy American resident
of Tancier. Morocco, and his stepson,
a British subject, who were captured
by brigands, have been carried into the
mountains, where pursuit is almost
impossible. The State Department has
been advised to this effect by Mr..
Gummere, United States Consul-Gen-
eral at Tangier, in cablegrams reach
ing the department overnight. He also
reports that no terms have been receiv-
ed from the brigand chief. Gummere
said that the Moorish authorities are
assisting in every way they can, and
adds that war vessel will be of great
assistance.
PARIS, May 20.-The French Gov
eminent does not intend to send a war
ship to Tangier or otherwise intervene
in connection with the capturing of
Perdicaris and Marley by brigands
The right of France to intervene would
raise direct issue with the Sultan of
Morocco concerning the exercise of
police powers. Moreover, the Govern
ment advices are that Mohammed ell
Torres, the representative of the Sui
tan at Tangier, will meet the brigands'
demands in order to secure the pris-
oners release.
Unofficial advices say that Moham-
med ell Torres has already recalled the
Moorish troops, as the brigands de-
manded.
