BOIL WEEVlL EXTERMINATOR FOUND.
Big Red Ant of Guatemala Will Be Brought to the
United States to Kill the Pests.

Washington, May 2S.-An insect
which preys upon and destroys the boil
weevil has been discovered in Guate-
msla, Central America. 1t remains TO
be seen whether it can be successfully
introduced into Texas. Secretary Of
Agriculture Wilson is of the opinion
that it can be, and immediate steps in
that direction will be taken.
The greatest significance is attached
to this discovery, which was made by
o. F. Cook, the botanist in charge Of
the tropical agricultural investigations
of plant industry.
He has been cabled instructions to
make his report Immediately to the de
partment what assistance he needs in
the way of men and money.
The full report of MIR. Cook, which
has been put in type and the publica-
lion of which, in bulletin form, will be
rushed as rapidly as possible, is as fol-
lows:
Specimens OF the cotton boil weeyll

THE WESTERN FED
GRAFTON IN POLITICS

The Western Federation OF Miners
has conferred upon Its executive com
mittee sole authority to conduct the
affairs OF the federatios in politics
during the coming fall campaign.
1t Will be observed that this is the
same committee that caused the mex
cusable and disastrous strike in the
Cripple Creek district and the equally
unwise and Injurious conflict in Teliur-
ide. Previous to taking that action
the power OF deciding whether strike
should be ordered or not was with
drawn from the local unions, it being
well known that the Cripple Creek
miners would not of their own yoli-
ton order walk-out Having ac-'
ouired the requisite authority. the ex-
ecutiye committee ordered the strike
and all the disastrous results OF which
everyone in Colorado has full knowi-
edge followed as natural consequences.
