Washington, Dec. "A. - The Arkansas congressional delega-
 tion is considering the advisabil- ity of protesting against the con- tinuance in office of Maj. Gra- |ham ID. Fitch, United States States engineer corps, in charge of river improvements i.l Arkan- |sas. Senator Berry and Con
 gressmen Brundidge and Robin ! son insist that Major Fitch is not
 working in the interest of the
 state, and that his career in the Little Rock office has been one of obstruction.
 ! Maj. Fitch has been in Little Rock nearly four years. His ac- tion in reporting adversely aon additional Improvements to the St. Francis and upper White
 river, and his conduct along this line in the past is responsible for
 the agitation which is expected to result in his early transfer.

RUSSIA'S ENJOYS CHOSEN
M. NeIidoff and Baron Rosen Will
Represent the Car.

Washington. June 21.-Russia has
given assurance cf her intentions in
the peace negotiations by putting the
president in possession of the tenta-
tive selection of her p1enipCt entiaries
as follows: NJ Nelidcff. the Russian
ambassador at Paris, and Baron Ros-
en-, the newly appointed Russian am
bassador at Washington. Russia thus
lieved that Mr. Takahira, the Japan
ese minister, during his call at the
White House today. informally told
the president that Japans selection,
also tentative, would be Baron Ko-
mura. the Japanese minister fer for
eign affairs, and Kogore Takahra,
the Japanese minister at Washing
ton.
Official annourlo ement of the names
of the plenipotentiaries is withheld
for several reasons. M. Nelidoff's
health may not permit him to make
the trip and pressure Of official work
may necessitate the presence in To-
kio Of Baron Komura. Mr. Takahira
afd-BarOn Rosen are regarded as GER
tainties, and the belief is that unless
something unforeseen should occur
both Russia and Japan will consent
to the official publica ton of the per-
sonnel within a few days. In any
event both commissions will consist
of many advisors, including army and
possibly naval officers and officials
from the foreign offices in Toxic and
St. Petersburg. 1t is expected that
altogether each naticn may send ten
or twelve. Should the six plenipo-
tentiaries be chosen both Russia and
Japan, it is learned, have names un-
der consideration which will enable
them to announce their third plenipc-
tentiaries without delay.
In recognition of his services dur
ing the preliminary negotiations and
in view of the high official rank of
the Russian plenipotentiaries 1t is be-
lieved that the official announcement
of Mr.. Takahira's appointment will
be followed by his elevation to the
rank of ambassador.
In view of the fact that Japan in
tends when the war is ever to elevate
| her legations at Washington, London,
Berlin, Paris, Vienna ST. Petersburg
and Rome to embassies, it is believed
that Mr.. Takahira's elevation would

is reason to believee that the inter
view between Chancellor Won Bulow
and NJ Bihourd the French ambas-
sadOr tC Germany, resulted In fully
foreshadowing Germany's Intentions
The results of the interview are now
in possession of Premier Rouvier and
he is net likely to make them known
before the minutes CT the negotiations
will be fully gone over. However, a
definite determination, either favor
able or unfavCrable, will not be long
deferred.

TOO MUCH RAIN FOR CROPS.

Reports from the surrounding coun-
try indicate that the rainfall was OF
8 general nature, extending many
miles around here. These reports al
so state that there has been too much
rain for the good OF the crops, and
farmers generally are beginning to
complain. The rainfall In Pine BLUM

sufficient for all purposes, and more
than was needed. The extreme heat
has given place to very pleasant

Trying to Cause Trouble.
Berlin, June 27.-It is noted that
the relations between Germany AMI
Great Britain were never worse than
at this moment. Hints dropped in
eff 'cial circles indicate that chagrin
was felt at Berlin at the fact that
King Edward sent no more important
Representative to the crown princes
wedding than the young Prince Ar
thur of Connaught, while it Is plain
" intimated that the failure OF EN-
peror William to send any represen-
tative at all to the wedding OF Princess
Margaret of Connaught was intended
to give expression to his resentment
at this slight. Contrast Is then
drawn between the emperor's action
now and his care to be represented
at every important family event at
Windsor castle during the life OF the
late Queen Victoria In view OF THIS
tension between Berlin and Lcndo'l
it is belived that Germany will make
many concessions in order to reach
an understanding with France.

persons were wounded by bullets or

Another affray took place at Zelasz-

the crowd and wounded three per-
sons. In the Central market a
crowd attacked a patrol with revolv-

yolleys, killing a boy and wounding

Five workmen who had refused to
strike were stabbed to death by their
comrades. Revolutionary proclama-
ticns have been posted on the walls
and 200 persons have been arrested.
A heavy rain fell all day, and this
is believed to have prevented more
serious collisions. The Social Dem
ocratic party and the Jewish Bund
announce that the fight against the
government must continue, but it is
believed that with the present show
of military force the situation will be
controlled.
Business is at deadlock.
The general strike which began to

Second Burglary Recently.

The Seaboard depot has been bur-
glarized again, the second time dur
ing the past few weeks.
An entrance was forced through the
door of the freight room, and it was
here that the burglar or burglars APP
propriated a number of articles OF
merchandise. Among the things
missed are several pairs of shoes.
Other dry goods, and some groceries
were opened.
A little more than month ago the
Office of the Seaboard was burglariz-
ed, though very little was stolen
therefrom, and at that time nothing
was taken from the freight rooms. On
the preceding night the Central depot
was broken into and the chewing gum
slot riaed of It's contents. Some time
afterward the Central was again bur-
glarized, though the marauder's eff
forts were slightly rewarded.
Both depots have thus been broken
into twice during the past few weeks.

TIME IS AT HAND TO PLANT SHADE TREES
he Best Way Beauty City and County
Roads. Adds Greatly the Value Of Property

The time for planting shade trees
has arrived. From now until the sap
begins to rise in the spring trees can
be planted with some degrees of assur-
ance they will live.
There is nothing that gives so much
beauty to street and furnishes more
comfort in summer than shade trees.
A few trees around home add many
dollars to the value of the property,
ana furnish great deal of pleasure
When the sun in summer sheds it
warm rays on the earth.
1t is strange why so little attention
is paid to the planting and cultivation
of trees. The loss of the vast forests
we once had causes now a big food
once in while, and is responsible for
the long droughts we occasionally
have. Planting shade trees plentifully
will in a measure check theset wo evils,
