from the British steamer Fawan at

AS the United states has assumed the
duty Of looking after and protecting
Japanese in Russia there is ample au-

il is said that the coming of these Jap

DANGEROUS COUNTERFElTS
Bogus Quarter and Half Dollars Flood
Pacific Coast.

Seattle. April 6.-Counterfeit half
and quarter dollars are being manu-
factured in China and shipped through
Seattle into the United States. The
imitation is very nearly perfect. The
coin is of the standard degree Of fine
ness, the weight is from one to ten
grains short and the design is almost
perfect The Irregularities are sO-slight
that some of them cannot be detected
without the aid of a magnifying glass.
and none of them can be noticed unless
a bogus coin is placed side by side with
a genuine onc. The counterfeits were
first noticed about a month ago when
one of the Seattle banks sent a small
amount Of money TO the Sub-tTeasury
at San Francisco, and II was declared
to be spurious. The secret service Off
cials declare that there is no one On
the coast who is capable of making a
coin as nearly perfect Is these and
that there is not the slightest doubt
that they are made in China.

PROPOSED DUTY ON OIL.

Greet Britain.


London. April 6.-The report that a
duty on petroleum viii be one of the
new features Of the forthcoming budget
is discredited here. The Standard and
Vacuum OIL companies representatives
in London have heard nothing of the
subject, while the Scotch oil interests,
who would be most benefited by such
aduty. declare there is no foundation
for the report. Those who are in the
trade do not believe that any chancel-
lor of the exchequer would propose d
duty which would prove 50 unpopular.
They point out that the poor would be
the only sufferers. as the price Of oil
would be Increased by the amount of
the duty. This duty has long been sUg-
gested, but the customs officials dis
countenance it on account of the great
difficulty of levying and collecting the
duty. There have been no signs re-
Gently that the officials have again been
investigating the subject.

the latter preferred. What one must be
certain of is to have plenty of powder in
the shells, for the shot have TO be carried
a long way and there has to be great
amount of force behind them. The shells

OF course hunting ducks is all done in
boats. The man who goes to the marshes
for the purpose of hunting merely for
sport has to hire a man with boat to row
him about These men know where the
ducks are the most plentiful and they also
act as guides. These ''pushers," as they
are called. are peculiar fellows and are
generally old professional hunters. They
not overly fond of the sportsmen from
the city, for they have reached the con-
clusion that there are few men from town
who can shoot ducks. When one of these
boatmen really finds man who knows
how to shoot he takes liking to him and
the hunter will find that his sport will be
greatly improved.
POPULAR SANDY SOLLARS.
The chief of the boatmen is Sandy Sol
lars, who lives at Water Valley. He knows
the marshes and river few people do,
for he has been there for great number of
years. He is man over sixty years DID,
but has none of the infirmity which age
brings. Sandy is a character in every
sense OF the word, and knows the habits
of ducks and cannot be fooled when it
comes to finding them. When hunter can
get Sandy Sollars TO push a boat for him
he thinks himself very fortunate. Sandy
has a little farm where he raises vegetables
and during the summer months he fishes
extensively. Pickerel is the favorite fish
around this place and is found in great
abundance In the winter Sollars hunts and
traps mink, muskrats and coons His coon
dog is one of the most noted IN that part
of the country and can tree coon during
the day, which is considered quite a feat
Another sport which Sandy likes exceed
ingly well is hunting bee trees. He is
quite an expert at this and always has a
large quantity of honey about the house
Whenever he sees a honey bee he fol-
low it through woods. and there is no get
ting away for the bee, for Sollars will fol-
low il until it goes home and then he will
spot the tree.

one of the piers and Sandy was thrown out
in about ten feet of water. He came up

THE HUNTERS OUTFIT.
Since the hunting of ducks has become
such a general sport men who hunt them
merely for business are learning that it is
a rather difficult matter to find places
which are not overrun by hunters from the
cities. Those who hunt ducks for pleasure
have found that warmth and dryness are
the most essential things in providing for
the outing, and that they must wear plenty
Of good wooden clothing, for it is an ex-
tremely hard and uncertain sport. The
first necessity in the garb of hunter is
plenty CT heavy underwear. He should also
wear thick trousers over which is drawn
pair of dead-grass canvas overalls. A
heavy blue flannel shirt or sweater is neces-
sary in protecting the chest. as is likewise
a high-cut vest, preferably without sleeves.
Over these can be worn an ordinary can
vas or corduroy coat regular hunting
coat is not necessary, because game and
shell pockets are not used. After a hunt
er's body is we'll clothed his feet should be
the next looked after because in this kind
of hunting he is wading in the deep marshes
frequently through all day and must be
certain to keep his feet warm or he will
suffer great inconvenience. To do this
pair of rubber boots reaching to the hips
and about three sizes too large is neces-
sary. The reason the boots are worn so
much larger than the feet is to enable the
wearer to put on two pairs of heavy wooden
socks together with pair of moccasins A
cap with a hood attached and a pair of
warm gloves complete the outfit. A very
useful garment in case of rain or snow is a
yellow rubber coat, or, as it is technically
called, "slcker" This coat is also very
convenient to wear when the wind is blow
ing, as the breeze cannot penetrate it.
Each duck hunter has his favorite make
of gun and it would be impossible to get
him to use another. The professional duck
hunters use the guns that they have had
for years. and none of the new styled
hammerless, shell-ejector guns "go" with
them. They look upon such arrangements
as entirely for the novice. The gun that
should be used. however. must be full
choke and very close shooting. In duck
hunting it is not required that the shot
should spread as in other kinds of shoot
ing The gun should be of short stock so
that it will not become easily entangIed I'm
the hunters clothes, and should be heavy,
weighing from eight to nine pounds so as to
stand the recoil of the heavy charges used.
The gun must be constructed in a simple
manner so to stand all kinds of weather
and of a make that does not easily get
out of order. The shells that are used

Banana Industry Rapidly
Becoming a Tremendous One
Indiana Million and the Demne

going from house to house can dispose of it
in a little while, because, as they buy so
much cheaper, they can also undersell the
grocers. The ripening rooms at the COM
mission houses are kept at temperature
which is regulated by the weather, but the
average is about 20 degrees.
WHERE THE CROP COMES FROM.
A commission man, in speaking of the
importation of bananas, said:
Years ago Cuba supplied practically all
the bananas that came to this market. The
trouble which occurred there a few years
ago prevented further development of the
industry, and at the close of the Spanish
war it had entirely ceased; but it is very
probable that it will again be started, and,
in fact. we are beginning to get small
shipments from there at the present time.
The banana industry is becoming too i'm
portant thing to let drop out in any of
those tropical countries, and If the natives
do fit to push the raising of bananas
it would be fine investment for Americans
to go into. There is no fruit for which the
demand is increasing In such proportions
for this, and it will not be many years
until il will be greater than the supply.
People in the cities are not the only users
of this fruit, but now all through the coun-
try, where banana was unheard Of, every
general store has four or five punches con-
stantly on hand.
Don't they raise bananas in Jamaica"
was asked.
YES While lull in this industry has
been taking place in Cuba, jamaica has be-
come an important producer, and up to the
time of the hurricane last year a consider
able proportion OF the bananas that landed
in this country came from Jamaica. The
destruction of the plantations stopped large
imports from there for eighteen months,
but think that we will get a consignment
about June l, though liberal shipments will
not begin to arrive until fall.
II takes from nine 10 eleven months TO
grow bunch of bananas. The stalk comes
up and I'm that length of time reaches its
growth and the bunch natures. Then the
bunch is picked. just as green as possible.
and the stalk is cut down. From the roots
number of suckers come up and the most
promising are left 70 grow. while the rest
are cut away. The successful banana grow
er plants his bananas so that a portion of
them are maturing all the time.
The development of this fruit has been
greatest in Central America of late, and
large proportion of supplies now received
in this country come from there. The fol-
lowing table shows the exports that came
from the countries named in 1902 and 1903:
