PRICE CONDITIONS UNSATlSFAC.
TORY.
The Demand Better than Prices Offered

Crowley, La, oct. 25.-Rice condi-
tons Throughout the country districts
are very unsatisfa Glory, and they
seem likely to remain 50 for some lit
tie time to come. The demand is good
but the offerings are such that there is
no temptation to sell. Why this condi-
ton should exist is not quite under
Stood as the reports of the United
States government agents, to say noth-
ing of the reports issued by the rice as
sOciations, has shown conclusively
that the crop this season is fully 20 pei
cent. short of last season, declaring
that the new crop. allowing a liberal
margin for heavy yield per acre, can
not possibly exceed 4,25O,OOO bags.
The last report of the Rice Millers' &
Distributors Association of Louisiana
and Texas showed that there were but
500, 900 bags of old crop to be distribut-
ed, and that is said to be Of the lower
grades, which will either be used to
, supply the export trade or fed to stock.
The new crop is coming in rapidly,
but, as was expected, the receipts are
far short of what they We're this time
last year, but there is considerable
, complaint as to the quality of the con-
signments. Good and fancy grades are
bringing full values wherever a sale is
made, as the dealers prefer to hold
this class of goods rather than part
with it for less than their own figures.
For the better grades there has been a
fair demand during the past week, es-
pecially Honduras. Japan, which was
a favorite rice i'm all sections of the
fun &c in,
: mand this season than ever before.
The rice blight which has been dis
covered in the fields at Beaumont, Tex,
is expected to make its appearance
here in Louisiana next season. Al
ready it has been located in several
sections. but has in each Nuisance been
found to be of much smaller and much
1. less destructive variety. The blight is
doing as much damage in the vicinity
of Beaumont as the seaweed is doing in
Colorado county, Texas, one of the
largest rice growing counties in the
state 1t is not thought that the weed
will ever expand to such proportions as
to become as destructive to the rice
crop as the boil weevil has to cotton,
as the discovery of it's existence, fol-
lowed by prompt action looking to its
elimination, cannot fail to check it.
The future of the rice belt in
Louisiana depends to a large extent
upon whether the planters hereafter
can be assured of fresh water. The
fight that is now being made against
the Mermentau locks and dam, which
has made the crop this season, and the
absence of which destroyed the crop
with salt water in 1902. still wakes
warm. A meeting of farmers who irri-
gate by wells was recently held in
Guyden, when it was decided to fight
the Mermentau !evee board to the end,
and a permanent organization was or
ganized. Capitalists who were seek
ing the investment of idle money in
this section will not close any deals
until the certainty of the locks has
been decided upon.

promises in order to obtain promotion
This action has shown Bishop OCon-
hell TO be man of independence ana
has made favorable impression
wherever it has become known. II Is
believed that he would depart from the
archbishop's course. Notwithstanding
his refusal to commit himself. Some
persons question whether Bishop Har-
kins would be inclined to bring about
change in this request.
Bishop OConnelrs rise in the church
has been remarkable. From a curate
in Boston, he became rector of the
American College in Rome. This was
about eight years ago. On Aug. D, 1900,
Bishop Healy of Portland. died, and
Father O'Connell was transferred from
the rectorship of the Americal College
of Rome to the Maine bishOpric, and
was consecrated, May 10. 1901. The APP
pointment caused a great deal OF COM
ment at the time. because the bishop
was not one of the three who had been
recommended to Rome. Few people in
the diocese of Portland had heard OF
Father OConnell until they learned he
was to be their bishop.
Those who believe that Bishop
O'COnnell will receive the cOadJutor-
ship appointment through the influence
of Cardinal Satolli recall the appoint
mcnt of Bishop Quigley of Buffalo, to
the archbishopric of Chicago, to sue
coed Archbishop Patrick A Feehan,
who died, July II. 1902. The general
tavorite Of the bishops of the archdio-
cese and Of the permanent rectors was
Bishop Spaulding of Peoria, who was
n member Of the Anthracite Coal COM
mission which settled the coal strike
in 1902. When the appointment of
Archbishop Feehan's successor was I'M
der consideration. Cardinal Satolli was
also a visitor to this country. When
the cardinal was the apostolic delegate
| here. he and Bishop Spaulding We're
known to be out of sympathy on some
matters. 1t is fact that Bishop
SpaulGing did not receive the appoint
ment and Bishop Quigley, who was on
intimate terms with Cardinal Satolli,
| did.
| John Joseph Williams. the archbish-
| Cd of Boston, was 81 years old, April -
| last. He was born in Boston and was
educated in Montreal and Paris. He
| was ordained in 1915. appointed pastor
| in 1853, bishop in 1866 and archbishop
| in 1875. The keenest interest has been
aroused in the appointment of his CO.
adjutor, especially since Cardinal Sa-
| TOLLS visit has emphasized the cardi-
| nails fondness for the bishop of Port
| land.

Meanwhile. the Minister of Foreign
Affairs of Uruguay did not cease to
call the attention of the Brazilian and
Argentine governments to their obli-
cations. as neutrals, or rather as
friends of Uruguay, to prevent the
smuggling through their frontiers of
arms, munitions and recruits, destined
to the revolutiOnists. This has al
ways been difficult task to carry out
by the governments of Rio Janeiro and
Buenos Ayres, on account Of the length
of the frontiers which separate the
three neighboring countries. Thus,
the Minister of Foreign Affairs in Ar
gentina, while admitting, in an answer
to a complaint from his colleague at
Montevideo. that certain of the officials
on the frontier had acted in an i'm
proper manper, declared they had done
so against the wishes of the govern
ment. which had taken steps to assert
it's authority to put an end to miscon-
duct of this character. He pointed
out, however. that the frontier was so
extensive as to render it impossible to
guard it effectively.

Gable dispatches have reported the
quiet inauguration, on October II, of
DIR. Manuel Quintana, as President of
the Argentine Republic, for term of
six years. The vice-president is DR..
Figueroa Alcorta, Senator for Cordoba
in Congress, and ex-governor of that
province. Senior Alcorta had more
votes in the electoral college than DIR.
Quintana. There were 300 electors in
all, and of these $50 votes We're given
to DR.. Quintana for the presidency, and
256 to Senior Alcorta. The rest of the
votes We're scattered among Avella-
enda. Uriburu, Pellegrini, DragO and
Udaondo. In previous presidential
elections there was always the kcenest
interest, and sometimes wild excite
ment over the Voting of the electoral
college. But this time the election
passed off quietly. which is an omen
for the stability of the new admins
tration and the tranquility of the Ar
gentine Republic.

In Uruguay nothing is known
definitely in regard to a final cOnclu-
sion of peace between the insurgents
and the government, an event which
was considered almost certain, after
the death of Saravia, who led the
revolutionary bands for the last seven
months. He was succeeded in his
command by General Basilao MunoZ,
who was reported as having consented
to lay down his arms. Subsequently,
cable dispatches reported that MunoZ
had been rejected by several of his fol-
lowers. and that the fight continued by
the Blancos- Ma tionalistas against the
Colorados, who constituted the gov
eminent party. The latest news by
mail from Montevideo stated that. in
view of the opposition of some of the
insurgents to the peace conditions,
which were accepted by General
Munoz, the new revolutionary leader,
the President Of Uruguay. had granted
a fresh armistice in order to terminate
the negotiations. According to gov
eminent information, all the insur-
gents seemed to be disposed to accept
the new terms. 1t was announced also,
that, according to it's latest news from
the rebel camp, the revolutionist lead
Saravia, had accepted the terms Of
peace proposed by President Battle y
OrdOneZ.
