Consular Reports Say Trade Is Dull
and Will Continue So.
Washington, Feb. 9.-Some days ago
a dispatch quoted Consul Miller at
Niu-chuang, China, on the question:
the future American flour trade in Chi
ma, Manchuria and southeastern ST.
IBERIA. The picture drawn by Miller
was not attractive. On account Of the
rapidly increasing wheat acreage and
numerous new 1our mills In those
countries 1t was predicted that the
American flour trade there would de-
cline, and in a few years practically
cease.
Consul Miller's report is today con
firnled by Consul Greener at Vladi-3
yea g American -four had the
preference in Amur province, but lat
terly a great change has come about.
There is a quantity Of American nour
now on hand there, but M market for
it, and no new imports are being INSIDE.
Greener says American flour will
hereafter not find a. good market In
Asia, except in a ear Of crop short
ages in the USsuri country or aus
churia. Manchurian flour is getting
the upper hand very fast, and Hardin
is becoming the central point. Green
err also speaks of the boom In mill
building in Hardin and the rapid ex-
tension Of wheat fields in&Asia-
The Asiatic farmer is accustonaed to
small wages n small profits. This
results in cheaper -four than can ba
made in the United States. ]
The Manchurian railroad, whose
rates are abnormally high, has estab-5
lished the low rates in Wheatan d flour
from Amur province to Hardin OF l4
cents per thirty-six pounds. This rate
operates against Siberian wheat and
flour as well as against American, ard

EXODUS OF

st. Petersburg, Feb. 6.-Dispatches
received mere from Vladivostok say the
hasty light Of Japanese residents there
IS attributed to secret orders from the
japanese government. Neither per-
suasion nor promises OF protection by
the authorities had any effect.
The japanese commercial agent aided
in tho exodus. Storekeepers sacrificed
their stocks for S to 10 kopreks on the
ronh!e. All factories in neighboring

Baltimore, Feb. S.--There was little

more last night because of the terrlt1c

ORIGIN NOT CERTAIN.
The origin OF the fire is said to have
been spontaneous combustion. but no
tangible evidence Of this effect has been
secured.
Several tons of dynamite were used
during the day and night to blow up

spread OF the flames, but even this was

blew flying embers hither n th1ther

Another Jail Delivery.

When the Warden of the Kemper
County Jail entered that building on
Friday morning last, he found that
the last of the sextette serving SEM
fences for running 'sblind tigers,
Albert A~bercrombie, had mysteri-
ously disappeared.
The Warden states that the pris-
oner was in his cell on Thursday
evening, that he locked all doors be-
hind him when he came out, and
that the doors we're as he had left
them when he returned on Friday
morning-but "ahe bird had flown"

IN MEMORIAM.
TO IRIS JAS. II. DUKE.

i have seen laid to rest one of the
purest women / have ever known.
/ could not tell of half her good
works and loving kindnesses; but
for myself individually can say, as
remembering her from babyhood, IN
Sunday school, in churches, in acts
of charity and in her own home, !
have never seen SO lovely a Chris
tian life.
When a tiny girl, I romped with
freedom in her home; when d school
girl, still there; when a m~otherless,
hayward lass, how she took me on
her knee with the advice I SO much
needed; when / became a wife, she
was still my trusted friend; and
when as a mother, I looked at her
as a beautiful example for me to
emulate.
T had not seen her for a long time,
knowing her feebleness and fearing
to disturb her. but / went just one
week before she died. I think then
she was only partly :of this world.
She took my hand and said to me:
IT am so drowsy, dear; but you
know how / love all my girls, and
how you are in my thoughts" Yes,
I.knew, and that is whyw all loved
her and needed her advice / was
glad the room was darkened, for l
could not keep back my fast-falling
tears as I thought how soon I'll lose
this faithful friend.
She leaves a husband of whom our
community is proud as being a self
made, honorable man; three daugh-
ters, with sweet, Christian lives, and
a son who was devoted to her-may
her memory be sacred to him, and
may he learn to trust his mothers
God.
Hers was not like death-only a
quiet passing of a beautiful spirit
back into the hands OF tits Maker.
I can imagine a group of angels
with a spotless robe and a crown
with many stars. and see the smile
of the Master as he welcomes her,
saying: ..Well done, good and faith
full servant, enter thou into the joys
of thy Master"
Yes, He hath given His beloved
rest. ONE WHO LOVED HER.
