GEN. KELLER LOST 1000 MEN.
Maneuvers Was Only Intended TO Develop
Strength OF JapaEeSe.

St Petersburg, (By Cable).-Gen-
ant General Count Keller lost over
1000 in killed or wounded in the at
tack on Maotien pass July II.
General kuropatkin's dispatch fol-
lows:
after the occupation by General
Kurokis army of the passes IN the
Fenshui mountain chain, our intorma-
ton concerning his forces and dispo-
sitions was in general inadequate. Ac-
cording to some reports his army had
been reinforced and he had even ex-
tended his forces toward Saimatsza,
Other reports stated that the displace-
ment of his troops had been made IN
the direction of Ia Pass and Siuyen.
There we're even indications that
Kuroki had transferred his head
quarters from Tskhakheken to lou-
npu. .t
ton received, and on the basis OF
reconnaissances which had been made,
the hypothesis was formed that the
principal forces of the enemy were
concentrated around Lianshankwan.
and that their advance guards had
been strengthened in the, passes, OF
Siaokao, Wafankwan, Sinkia, Lakho
and Papau, as we'll as at Sybey pass
two and half miles north OF the
road and half the height OF Siaokao
pass"
According to the general staff $
latest reports the Japanese seem to
have suspended their advance from
all points. but they may, only De
temporarily resting their forces, al
though it is considered possible, that
they may have decided to await the
result of the operations against Fort
Arthur.

Slaughter Is Now On.

O. Z. Cook, who found the Guate-
malan boll-weevil-eating ants, has
wired the Department Of Agriculture
from Texas that the new ants are de-
stroying cotton boil worms and are
attacking similar injurious insects
with even greater avidity than they do
the boil weevils.
Another important fact is that the
ants do not injure at all the ladybird
larvae, which are beneficial insects;
Mr.. Cook reports that the agricultural
value of the ants now depends chiefly
upon acclmatization and rapidity OF
propagation. These questions are be-
ing investigated.

Not Allowed Citizenship.

Japanese and Chinese women mar
rying American men do not become
American citizens. Such is the dictum
of Secretary Hay just made public
through correspondence between the
Secretary of State and United States
Minister Conger. at Peking, China.
According to Secretary Hays i'll
depreciation of the statues only white
women marrying United States citi-
zcns acquire the citizenship OF their
husbands. This is OF especial I'M
portance at this time, when so many
American soldiers and other citizens
of the United States are marrying
native women i'll the Far East. All
children born of such unions, how
ever, acquire the citizenship of their
fathers at birth. Consequently chil-
dren OF Chinese blood, it born OF
American fathers, may enter the Un,-
ted States,
Secretary Hay was called upon to
interpret the statute by cases III Han
kow where American men married
Japanese and Chinese wives. In re-
plying to questions from Mr. Conger,
Secretary Hay replied
"As we construe this act, il confers
the privilege of citizenship upon WON.
en- married to citizens of the United
States if they are of the class OF per
sons for whose naturalization acts
of Congress provide. The previous
naturalization act existing at the time
only required that persons applying
far its benefits shall be free white

LIVE WASHINGTON AFFAIRS.
Expansion Of Our Commerce.

The foreign commerce of the Un,ted
States in the fiscal year 1904 is the
largest i'll its history; the exports OF
manufacturers are larger than in any
preceding year. and the exports OF
domestic products exceed those OF
any other country.
This is the substance, in a single
sentence. of the record Of the years
commerce just announced by the De-
partment OF Commerce and Labor
through its Bureau of Statistics. N
shows, taking up the figures in detail,
that the total exports during the year
ended June 80, 1904, are oo,S2o,sJ9
against SI,42o,I4 ,o7o in the fiscal year
1903, an increase of $4ooS7 800; that
the imports for the year are $ooo,.
745,o84 against ST. ,o25,7Io,237 in 1908,
decrease of S34,o74I53 and that the
excess of exports over imports is
$47do84455, against $3o+422,442 in
1903, an increase of $75,662,o13 in the
excess of exports over imports.
Comparing the figures of 1904 with
those OF earlier years, 1t may be said
that the total exports are larger than
in any preceding year except 1901;
that the imports are greater than in
any preceding year except 1903, and
that the total cominerce--the imports
and exports combired-in 1904 is
greater than that of any preceding
year
The total commerce of the year
amounts to $245I,574.62,, against ST..
445, ,86ooI6 in 1903 and $a,3Io,oH.IS6
in 1901. the year in which imports and
exports. respectively. made higher re-
cords than those of 1904. Thus, while
neither imports nor exports for 1904
reach the high record of a single
earlier year the total Of imports and
exports combined in 1904 exceeds the
total commerce of any earlier year.

the highest Importance. and their ma

Since the first national convention of

no such gathering of party hosts COM
parable with the present one and the
business like methods used to house
and manage it without friction.
The convention arrangements are
most admirable and unusual. None
save sargeants-at -arms are permitted
to stand in the aisles. Uniformed
messengers move back and forth deliv-
ering messages from the twelve long,
distance telephone booths and the tele-
graph office under the stage floor. Be-
hind the speakers stand Is the division
allotted to the distinguished guests and
encircling that are the seats of 800
newspaper correspondents. Twenty-Five
stenographers and telegraph operators

Colonel William F. Stone, collector of

Factor in Natianal Politics and
Possible Nominee

Especial Telegram to Evening Teller,
CHICAGO. June 20.-A little more
than ten years ago Charles Warren
Fairbanks was hardly thought of as a
factor In political life. Yet in 1892 he
was made chairman of the Indiana re-
publican convention, and one year later
received the entire vote Of his party in
the legislature for the United States
senatorship. The vote. however, was
not large enough to elect In 1897 his
election came. and scarcely seven years
after his appearance in Indiana poll
tics he was talked of for the highest
honors In the gift Of the people OF the
United States.
Senator Fairbanks Is a native of
Ohio. having been born at Unionville
Center. that state, In 1852. He was
graduated from Ohio Wesleyan univer-
sity at the age Of 20 and began his
career as a newspaper man. Through
the influence Of his uncle. william
Henry Smith. president Of the Asso-
ciated Press at that time, he secured
position with that organization at
Pittsburg. He found time to practice
Journalism and read law at the same
time. and soon after ne became a grad

In the Salem district, in this county,
the South Penn Oil Company has drill
ed its test on the A. C. Morris farm

for a Is or 20 barrel pumper in that
formation.
In the same district, the same com

developed nothing but light gas pres.
sure.
In the LAWYER end of the Folsom dis
trict, Miller Bros. nave shot their old
No. ] on the +. A. darlington farm and
increased its production to so barrels
q day. This was one of the first wells
completed in the Folsom district and
started at about 300 barrels day.
In the northeast of the old develop.
ment, where the South Penn completed
a good producer on the Camden Sommors
farm last month, Leonard & Eakin have
urllIea III their test on the Wesley

barrels the first 4 hours after the pay
was tapped. The oil in this and the
