The climate of Manchuria plays an
Important role In the war between
Russia and Japan. Up to the present,
we have had little precise information.
upon this point NJ. j. Ross has lately
given some indications as to the Gil.
mate Of that region and the character
of the different seasons. He states
that in the months Of March and Aprii
there are strong southwest winds
which bring with them heat and mois-
ture. AT the Ell II N1fch the winter
season ends The undersoil is still
frozen at his time, but the ground
can be worked for agriculture. April
appears to be the only month Of
spring. At the end of this month the
sowing of wheat commences. Sum
mer begins in May, and the end OF
June or the beginning Of july the
wheat Is cut Up to the end of June
rain is rare and the Say generally
clear. Will cloudy weather is an ex.
septlon. The heat reaches a maximum
at the end OF July and first part OF
August Afterwards comes heayy

several days and nights without stop.
Ping The soil is completely saturated
fad inundations are frequent Saptem-
Der is the harvest month. while Octo-
Der gives some of the finest weather
Of the year At this time the heat Is
agreeable during the day and the sky
is clear, with bracing air, while veg
etstion is at its height At the end
OF the month the first night frosts be-
gins to appear, and in November the
cold weather commences and keeps up

At Aiukden. the temperature some.
times goes down as low as 80 degree

southeriy position of that locality. The
maximum temperature Of summer Is
sS.6 or 1904 degrees +. About ten
months of the year are dry for the
most part, and the excessive wet sea
son only occurs during a month or SO.

SAN BERNARDINO, May 5.-A
weird and gruesome sight was wit
messed by many people of Cotton last
night when large company of Mexi-
cans celebrated Good Friday by cruci-
flying and burning in effigy Judas Is
CARROT. The celebration was more than a
week late, but was necessarily so be-
cause of the city officials forbiddine
them to discharge firearms when the
celebration was first planned.
A figure stuffed with straw had been
prepared and the band in heathenish
manner, all the while imbibing freely
of wine, danced about it, splitting upon
it, kicking and striking it and contin-
ually Shouting "Take that, Judas, fol-
betraying our Jesus"
After firing of this procedure they
fastened the figure to a rude imitation
OF a cross and hoisted it in the air
continuing the dancing and jeering for
some time longer. Then 1t was cut
down and they fell upon it with knives

About this time the officers appeared
on the scene to stop the shooting which
had formed liberal part of the cere-
monies. A large crowd of the Cotton
population was out to witness the cere-
mony, which was participated in by a
considerable number of Mexicans.

SUFFERING WITH MALARIA

SUFFERING WITH MALARIA

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, May 5.-Secretary
Taft today cabled Governor Davis at
Panama to return at once to the
United States, placing Colonel Gorgas
in charge of the administration of the
canal zone until the arrival there of
Governor Magoon. Governor Davis Is
suffering from malaria and his physi-
clans advised him to leave the isthmus
to recuperate. He has resisted their
appeals, however fearing that his sud
den departure at this time when the
health conditions of the isthmus are
adverse would be misunderstood.
It is Secretary Taft's purpose to ap-
point General Davis one of the board
of consulting engineers, which will
consist of twelve members, eight of
whom have now been selected.
The secretary plans to have the ex-
ecutive committee of the canal COM
mission, consisting Of Chairman Shonts,
oovernor Magoon and Chief Engineer
Wallace, sail for the isthmus on the
18th inst. They will be followed by the
remaining members Of the committee
July 1, and the entire body will make
a thorough examination of conditions
on the isthmus, with particular refer
ence to the formation of plans for the
conduct of the work of canal construc-
ton. 1t will consider the important
question of the tide level or lock canal.
These plans will be submitted through
Secretary Taft to the board of con-
sulting engineers, which will be called
In session for the first time in Wash
ington September or Is next. Secre-
tary Taft feels that two months will be
suficient to enable the board to form
final plans upon which can be based a
recommendation to con-
gress at the next session.

DEFAULTER SMITH IS
ANXIOUS TO RETURN
Message That His Wife Is in More
Favorable Condition EIicits Ex-
pressions of Qualification

BY Associated Press.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, May 5.-Upon the
expected arrival of the detective from
San Francisco, who will take back
Edward ]. Smith, the San Francisco
tax collector, under arrest here on
the charge of embezzlement, it will be
decided whether Smith will imme-
diately be taken to California, or whe-
ther the start, will be delayed until
next week.
At police headquarters it was stated
today that Smith is still anxious to
start at once and he will be turned
over to the San Francisco detective
upon the latter,s arrival. 1t is thought
probable, however, that after the long
trip across the country the San Fran
cisco officer may desire to rest until
next week before returning with his
prisoner.
A message was received by Smith,
through friends, that his wife is re-
ported to be in more favorable con-
dition. This news elected expressions
Of qualification from him.
