Greetings to international Geosraph.
ical Congress at Washington.

Greetings to international Geograph-
icaI Congress at Washington.
Washington, Sept. 10.-The interna-
tional geographical congress was en-
teTtained by the reading of many ca
BILE dispatches received from all parts
of the world in reply to international
messages of greeting sent out after
the flashing of the midnight time sig
nal from the naval observatory. The
replies came in French, Spanish and
other modern languages and all
breathed cordial sympathy with and
interest in the work of the geogra-
piers. The signal was sent on its
journey in two directions, one by the
Pacific cable and the other by the
Atlantic. A dispatch from Australia
contained the information that two sig.
nal had met there exactly fourteen
seconds after being sent from Wash
ington. The Madras, India, obserra-
tory acknowledged the time signal, as
also did the Lisbon, Portugal observa-
tory, who cabled their best greetings
to the world famous United States OBJ
servatory."

Steamer Sinks at Dock.

Seattle. Wash, Sept. 1.-THE
steamship City of Topeka. a big pas
senger vessel of the Pacific Coast
Steamship company. running between
this port and Alaska, sunk at the dock
at this port while loading freight for
Skagway. Still moored to her dock,
she now rests on the bottom, with
only the top of her smoke stack and
her two masts visible. It is thought
she sprung leak. She was loading
freight when suddenly she listed to
starboard and began to fill. The sail
ors scrambled to the dock as the big
ship slowly settled in the water.
Within forty minutes she rested on
the bottom. There was almost a full
cargo Of general merchandise in the
hold Of the vessel when she sank, and
the loss will be heavy.

Attention
Farmers.

Why remain in the North
and stay in doors six months
In the year consuming what
you raise during the other
six months?
Go south where you can
work out doors every month
, In the year, and where you
are producing something the
year round. If you are a
stock raiser you know your
stock are now steating their
heads off" and, besides, have
to be protected from the RI
gors of winter by expensive
shelter.
Economical stock feeding
requires the combination Of
both flesh forming and fat
forming foods in certain pro.
portions. Alabama and
Florida produce in abundance
the velvet bean and cassava,
the first a flesh producer, and
they are the cheapest and
best fatening materials
known to the world.
More money can be made
and with less labor, in gener-
al farming, fruit and berry
growing and truck garden
ing along our road in the
South than in any other
section of the Union.

CORN is MATURING RAPIDLY.
Past Week Has Been Exceptionally
Favorable for the Crop.

Past Week Has Been Exceptionally
Favorable for the Crop.
Des Moines, Sept. 12.-Reports from
all over the state Of Iowa to the
weather bureau indicate that the last
week has been one of the most re-
markable in the history Of the state,
for this season of the year, in its
adaptability to the needs of the crop
season. 1t has been uniformly hot
and dry all the week in every part Of
the state. The growing corn has been
in imminent danger of ruin from an
early frost and immense damage could
have been done ten days ago. Now,
however, the crop is ripening fast and
farmers state that the grain has filed
out splendidly the last few days. The
corn is fast getting out of way of pos
sible harm. The report of the wealth
er and crop service this week will
indicate that the estimate on the yield
of corn will have to be increased ma
terially to fit changed conditions and
that whereas there was prospect up
to this week of poor quality as we'll
as low yield now the estimate must
run to over 3o0.000,0O0 bushels for
Iowa and the corn to be of good quail
ity. Large quantities Of corn are be-
ing cut for fodder in the state, and
as consequence the movement Of
live stock out of the state has mate
rally decreased. Secretary Green Of
the State Horticultural society also
reports that the apple and grape crops
Of the state have developed finely
the last few weeks and good crop is
in prospect OF both these fruits.

EIGHT ARE DROWNED
STEAMER RUNS DOWN LAUNCH
ON DELAWARE RIVER.
lII.Fated Vessel Was Carrying a
Pleasure Party Of Twelve and
Only Four Of Its Occupants Escape
Watery Graves.

Only Four of Its Occupants Escape
Watery Graves.
Philadelphia. Sept. 12.-The Della
ware steamer Columbia, on its way
from this city to Bristol, Pa, last
night crashed into steam launch
about ten miles north of here. grind
ing it to pieces and causing the drown
ing of eight of the dozen occupants Of
the small boat. All of the party were
Philadelphians. The dead are: Jo-
seph Fortescue, Wade Auday. Thomas
Duffy. Thomas Corvesir. Anna Young,
Joseph Pfromer, Mrs. Joseph Pfromer
and Engineer James Briggs.
The accident was the tragic ending
of days pleasure trip on the river.
The launch was owned by Joseph
Fortescue and the party had been
made up from among his friends. The
day was spent in cruise up the
river as far as Trenton. The return
trip was begun after nightfall When
a point was reached near Andalusia
the Columbia suddenly doomed up in
the darkness. Fortescue damned his
wheel to starboard, but just moment
too late. The big steamer struck the
launch squarely in the middle and cut
it in half throwing all the occupants
into the water.
A terrible Shrek went up as the
boats struck, which almost caused a
panic among the passengers on the
Columbia. Dozens of life preservers
were thrown overheard to those in
the water and boat was quickly low
cred. When the rowboat reached the
spot only four persons could be found
in the darkness. 1t is believed that
several of the victims were crushed
by the paddle wheels on the Columbia.

BALTIC FLEET SAILS
NEARLY FORTY REMNANTS IN
!, THE SQUADRON.

Nine Battieships, Four Cruisers and
Several Torpedo Boats and Destroy.
ers Start for the orient-stop is to
Be Made at Libau.
st. Petersburg, Sept. 1.-THE de-
parture Of the Baltic fleet for the far
east is officially announced.
Admiral Birileff, commander of the
naval forces at Cronstadt, will accom-
pany the fleet as far as Libau, from
which port this modern armada of al
most forty pennants, including nine
battleships, four cruisers and several
plying the torpedo boats and torpedo
for the Orient. The admiralty does
not state how long Admiral Rojest-
vensky will stop at Libau. but it is
understood that it will only be for a
few days. The plan of the cruise has
not been divulged, but it has been
carefully mapped out. Golfers accom-
pany the feet for the purpose of sup
torpedo boats, will sail Immediately
boat destroyers, whose steaming radi-
us is small. Other Golfers have al
ready sailed or are awaiting orders
at foreign ports to meet the squadron
on the way. ALI the vessels are
equipped with apparatus for coaling
at sea. The general opinion is that
the vessels will go via Suez, but some
rumors say that the cape route will
be taken. The decision of the admi-
rally to send out the fleet in the face
OF the existing situation in the far
east, is evidence of the temper of the
government to prosecute the war to
finish. 1t is understood that there
was considerable divergence Of expert
opinion on the question of delaying the
sailing of the fleet until the spring,
but the emperor turned the scale in
favor Of immediate departure. In this
connection there are other war moves.
Practically all the reserve officers Of
the navy have been called out. The
emperor will leave about Sept. Is for
Kishineff and Odessa to bid farewell
to the Eighth army corps.
At a meeting of the emperor's mill
tary advisers War Minister Sakharoff
recommended the sending Of an addi-
tional 100000 men to the far east.
A very brief report from General
Kouropatkin constitutes the latest
news from the front. The place at
which the dispatch was filed is not
Indicated but the report seems to
show an almost entire suspension Of
sctive operations on both sides.
