the earth's surface in that region is in
dicated by reports brought in to this port
to-day of a submarine disturbance in the
Gulf of Mexico through which the steam
ship San Jacinto passed last Thursday.
This steamship. on her regular trip from
Galveston. ran into an immense field of
crude petroleum about 10 miles south OF
New Orleans at II 30 O'Clock last Thursday
morning. The surface OF the water was

rising from the bottom of the sea. For
a large distance the fluid spread. making
the Gulf as smooth as glass despite wind.
1t is thought that the oil was released
from submarine depths as the result OF
an earthquake. Probably, too. 1t is said
the outburst In Texas may be traced to a
similar disturbance.

Twenty thousand dollars worth of SAL
wage from the Missouri building at the
Worlds Fair is to be distributed among
the several State institutions of Missouri
by the Worlds Fair Commission. This
action is in accordance with a recent Or
der OF the State Board Of Equalization
relative to the disposition of the property
saved from the FIRE at the Missouri build
ing.
The State Commission met yesterday
afternoon at the Kansas City Casino on
the Model street at the Exposition. TO

of the Board Of Equalization. 1t was the
first meeting of the Commission since the
close Of the Fair.

Hundreds OF bids have been received for

sion hut none has been satisfactory, ana
all have been rejected.
It is not thought that the salvage on the
charred remains Of the Missouri building
will bring mere than the cost of removal

mission will probably have about sl2oGp

ABOUT $50 TILLERS OF THE SOIL

The Marion county Grange picnic
at Traction Park to-day was attended
by about $50 persons. This morning
Mrs. NJ. NJ. Holbert addressed the
meeting on woman's suffrage. At noon
the contents of numerous baskets We're
heartily enjoyed and then Mr.. r. T.

county farmers, introduced National
Grange President Aaron Jones, whose
talk will likely consume the entire
afternoon, although Professor T. c.

July /, 1904, and during the interval
has visited Grange meetings in Kan
sas, Maine, New Hampshire, Pennsyl-
vania, West Virginia and other States.
The picnic to-day should have attract
ed many more agriculturists, but when
it is known that this is the first affair
of the kind in twenty-five years. the
reason is readily apparent. "a similar
