Fruit shippers Lose Heavily.

Los Angeles, Cal.-Serious financial
loss to shippers and the prospect Of a
partial famine in Los Angeles in some
lines of foodstuffs are the principal de-
velopments in the Generalization of
railroad traffic to and from this city

Monday. Oranges, lemons, vegetables
and other perishable fruit destined
from southern California to points
East and North are practically rotting

Discuss immigration.

The announcement is made by the

a call will be issued for convention
of mayors of every town in Louisiana
and Mississippi to meet in New Or
leans at an early date to discuss the
question Of turning the tide of immi-
grafton into the South through the
New Orleans gateway. This is the
outcome of the successful effort made
to establish at New Orleans a big
Southern immigration station, where
the great overflow of homeseekers
from European countries can be re-
ceived.

elimination against New Orleans in
the trading of the Panama Canal

A State Affair.

If plans that are now being tenta-
lively discussed are carried into ef-
feet, the New Orleans Board Of Trade
will immensely broaden its activities
and enlarge the influence of its men,

er, secretary Of the board. that the or
ganization establish departments for
the several lines of trade not now so
recognized, and also that the influence
of the local board be exerted for the
creation of state board of trade that
could speak with authority on matters
pertaining to the business of the state

."WILLIAM H. TAFT. {"

Mr.. Taft was accompanied to the
Cabinet meeting by Mr.. Lawshe, au-
ditor of the Philippine government, who
desired to pay his respects to the
President before returning to his post.
MR.. Lawshe has been in this country
for several months in connection with
the Philippine government exhibit at
the Louisiana Purchase Exposition,
the accounts of which he has been ad-
justing. His accounts show that in
round figures this exhibit cost the Phil
ippine Commission a million and a
half dollars, while the returns from
franchises, admissions and other SER
vices were little over 100000. AL
though this shows that the exhibit was
far from self-sustaining from a pecu-
MARY point of view, yet the Philippine
Commission feels amply repaid for the
expenditure by reason of the great
stimulus given to the interest of the
American people in the Philippines
and a belief that it certainly will re-
suit in large and permanent increase
in trade between the islands and the
United States.

State Encampment.
A movement has been started

A movement has been started to
have the next State encampment of
the National Guards held at Fayette
The matter has been worked quietly
but it is understood there is a good
prospect for the move being success
full. There are at least seven compa-
nies of guards along the Southern Pa
cifc, one at Crowley, one at Rayne,
one at New Iberia, one at Alexandria
and two at Lake Charles, while that
point is as accessible for the New Or
leans companies as any other. The
matter will be decided by the Adju-
tant General in few days.

Charges that William Nelson Crom-
well of New York, who was promi-
nently connected with the sale Of the
Panama canal property to the United
States, was the prime mover in the
scheme to influence the United States
to assume control of Santo Domingo
finances, were stated in a speech made
before the senate by Senator Morgan.
Senator Morgan said that Mr.. Crom-
well was actuated by desire to frus-
trate a plan of Mr.. and Mrs. Read
er, natives of Alabama, who are oper-
ating under the name of the Reader
syndicate, to get certain concessions
from the Dominican government, and
to promote the interests Of syndi-
cate he represented, which, it is al
legged, holds mass of claims against
Latin-American republics, including
large part Of the debts against the
Dominican government. During the
discussion Senator Morgan referred to
treaty negotiated by the Readers,
which he said had never seen the light
Of day, because of the interference of
Mr.. Cromwell's representative. Sen
ator Platt of Connecticut said that he
did not want the discussion to go any
further until that treaty had been pro-
duced. Thereupon it was sent to the
desk by Senator Morgan and read. 1t
declared Republican senator's gave ev-
erything to Santo Domingo, eonces-
sions 10 the Readers and practically
nothing to the United States. These
senators subsequently, declared that
charges based on such a document
we're not entitled to consideration.
Senator Foraker defended Mr.. Crom-
well, saying that he knew him profess
sionally and believed him incapable of
the acts charged.
