Weathers made sweeping denial of

during 1903, and the amount actually
paid out, as shown by the freight re-

Doesn't Hurt the Plant.
Although the cotton seems to be es-
pecially adapted to attract the ant by
means of its numerous hectares, the
insect is not, like some of the mem
bers of its class, confined to a single
plant or to a single kind of prey. It
attacks and destroys insects of every
order, including the hemiptera and
centipedes. On the other hand, it does
not do the least injury to the cotton
or to any other plant. so far as has
been ascertained, and 1t can be handled
with impunity, having none of the
waspish i'll temper or so many of
the stingy and biting ANTS of the
tropics.
Since, where once established. it ex-
lists in large numbers and seeks its
prey actively, it is much more eff
cient destroyer Of noxious insects than
the spider or the toad. 1t seems, in
short, not unlikely to become a valued
assistant in the agriculture of tropi-
cal and sub-tropical countries, if not
in temperate regions. The farmer has
a new practical reason to consider the
ant"

PROCLAMATION MADE
OF JAPANESE BL 0CKADE

4 Chicago, May GA special to the
Daily News from Che Foo says:
Japan announces that the entire
coast of the Lao Tung peninsula, ly-
ing south of a line between Pitsewo on
the east and Pulandien on the west, is
in a state of effective blockade by the
japanese navy. The declaration states
that the blockade will be maintained.
THE japanese government has evil

peninsula in a state of blockade until
now because it is held in international
law that a blockade, to be effective,

WHEELING, June 1s.-"I can see
no reason why any Republican in
West Virginia should change his pol
itics at the coming election, said
Senator Stephen 3. Elkins, who ar
rived in the city last evening and is
stopping at the Mcclure. THE party
will roll up majority in November
of not less than 10000. and perhaps
so, 900 would be low enough to make
the estimate. 1t is true there are
some differences in the ranks of the
party now, but after the State con-
vention has been held in Wheeling
next month all the fighting Will be
over and the Republicans will present
solid front to their common enemy,
the Democrats, and will get together.
for the purpose Of rolling up bigger
majority in this State than it has ever
given before.
This tax reform question is one
that is attracting great deal of at
tention, of course, and it affects all
parties The Democrats are not go
ing to do anything with it, and the
Republicans will settle their differ
ences on that subject in an amicable
manner 1t is, Of course, necessary
that there should be some changes
in the existing laws, but I have paid
so little attention to the matter that
I would not care to go into the sub
ject now
"West Virginia is a State that has,
as much as any other in the union,
felt the effects of the protective tar
if Of the Republican party, and the
tariff on the materials Of industry
produced by this State has been of
such benefit to the people that they
do not care for change. The Demo

better and will have nothing to give
that will make the State more pros
porous than it has been under Re
publican rule.
81 am not a candidate for the nom
nation for Vice-President," said the
Senator in reply to question on
that subject. THAT matter has been
settled for some time. My impress
sion is that Mr.. Hit, of Illinois, will
be the nominee OF. the convention at
Chicago, though Speaker Cannon
might be forced to accept the nomina-
ton"
Senator Ell1ins would not talk re
garding the fight for the Suberna-
torial nomination: He would not in
dictate his preference of the two can
ddates, but said he was for the man
who received the nomination at the
State convention.
Mr.. E1l1ins is accompanied on his
trip here by his son, Davis Elkins,
and his private secretary, Calvin H
Livingstone. The party will leave
for points down the river, stopping at
Petersburg and Huntington and
then going to Charleston. In all of
these cities Senator Elkins has large
financial Interests which he is look
ing after on his trip. He was in con-
sultation this morning with some of
the local bankers regarding his. in
terests in Wheeling. -
The trip is purely business one
and he will not go to the national
convention at Chicago, as was enron
eously stated inthe morning papers.
