ALL CLEARED
FOR ACTION
]. A. Muir Tells Of War
incidents at
Shanghai.

j. A. Muir, newspaper man of the
Far East, but who says he was until
recently in the employ of the Japanese
secret service at Shanghai, is a through
passenger on the steamship Manchuria
en- route to Richmond, Va, where he is
to 60 on the staff of the Times-Dis-
patch. 1t was Mr.. Muir s good fortune
recently to come in close contact with
the Russian volunteer fleet and trans
ports which put into Woosung, near
Shanghai, while Rojestvensky s fleet
was approaching the Korea Straits.
Mr.. Muir was attending a press dim
ner on the night OF the 25th of May,
when he heard of the coming of the
transports. He slipped away, secured
the only launch available, and by day
light had bOarde>, the volunteer cruiser
Vladimir, in charge of the convoy.
There was conference going on at the
time and he waited. Then some of the
officers were taken ashore in his launch
the first time they had left ship since
leaving Madagascar. He obtained in
the right track of the position of Ro-
jestvensky fleet and he forwarded the
information to the newspaper bureaus
in Shanghai.
After the great naval battle he saw
a dispatch boat come hmping into
Shanghai crowded with men, and then
came the volunteer cruiser Korea with
two big holes in her sides, one just
above the water line
Mr.. Muir claims to have kept his
employers informed of the loading of
vessels at Shanghai with sacked coal
which was intended to be sent out to
the Russian fleet This information
was given to the Taotai, who placed
guards to prevent any contraband coal
from being taken to the fleet
About two weeks before Mr. Muir
left Shanghai there was an amusing
episode which almost had an interna-
tional twist. The tide rose very high
there one night, and the officers of the
interned Russian cruiser Askold decid-
ed to leave the dock and take moorings
at buoy farther out. The mornings
We're slipped and the anchorage place
changed. Two Chinese cruisers on
guard Immediately cleared their decks
for action and word was sent to the
Taotai. The officers of the interned
gunboat Mandjur also decided to make
change and she also dropped away
from her wharf, much to the consterua-
tion of the Chinese. This time, it is
said, the British warship Astrea clear
ed for action. Finally the captains of
the two vessels satisfied their guard
ians that they had no intention of try
ing to slip out to join Rojestvensky.

PLANS FOR E!
TAI 7 PARTY
The Members May Go
First to Pearl
Harbor.

Tt has been proposed, in order to
save valuable time and to keep the
party together, that on the arrival of
the Manchuria here next month with
the Tart excursionists aboard, they be
taken from the steamer, which will lie
outside. to the decks of the Z. S. s.
Iroquois and other small steamers,
which will then steam directly for
Pearl Harbor, making the trip through
the l6chs in the early forenoon, plan
which would give the Secretary of
War and the Congressman a fine Oppor-
tunity to judge of the harbor s value
as a naval base.
A special train would meet the par
tv at the Peninsula and take it to Eva
plantation. At the depot on the re-
turn to the city the party would be
met by automobiles. in which all would
be conveyed to the Pail. Then would
come luncheon and the afternoon could
be devoted TO pleasure and sightseeing.
In case. however, that the visitors
are landed at the Naval Docks, auto
mobiles would meet the members there
and pass through the Naval Station
grounds before starting up town.
The L. s. 5. Bennington was first
proposed as the vessel to take the Wis
itors to Pearl HarUor. but it is report
ed that the warship is to leave Homo
lulu on July s for Costa Rica.

SARGENT ON
IMMIGRATION
Notable Address Made
by the United States
Commissioner.

ION my last visit to Ellis Island,
New York, made study of Nor
wegian immigrant and his wife with
their twelve sons and two daughters,
colony by themselves, with about $500
in money-a good substantial family.
The man came to the United States to
make it his home. He went to Dakota
and took up a homestead. Such people
are among the most desirable immi-
grants, and such people are the ones
whom you should bring down here to
the Hawaiian Islands to help populate
the Islands and develop them. I hope
to see such a class of immigrants come
here and you should encourage them.
They may not always raise cane, but
they can raise big families to swell
your population and develop your
farming interests. Hon. Frank P.
Sargent, u S. Commissioner of Immi

IKE RoAp 10 PARADISE.

The new railroad to Paradise from Rodeo will be the means of putting new life into one of the best mineral districts in the territory which has al- ready attracted much favorable atten- ton. In the Chiricahua country and especially in the Paradise district is a large area of country giving every in dication of large copper deposits. The building of a line Of railroad to that section means that the cost of develop ment of claims will be greatly reduc- ed and thereby stimulated. Cochise county has one copper district already developed which is today rivailing the world with It's production and 1t is the general belief that in the Chir- icahua mountains the opportunity IS exceedingly good for the development of another to rival the Warren dis

Cochise county must send respec- table sized delegation to Phoenix to attend the statehood conference on the 27th of this month The people of this county cannot afford to lay dorm ant in this all important matter The Phoenix meeting is for the purpose of deylsing means of forming the best method for fighting the proposed
 joint statehood bill. The conference
 is to be a non-political one: it is the result of an original call by the gov ernor Of Arizona. The attendance at
 Phoenix will be watched closely by our enemies who would jump at the opportunity to advertise the fact throughout the country that the peo- pie of Arizona were. not troubling themselves whether they were taken into statehood with New Mexico or whether they were given single state hood; that they did not care enough about what kind of statehood they had to attend 6 conference on the subject
 when it was called by the governor
 and by the chairmen of the two great political parties. It is important that Arizona have her best men present from every section on the 27th and i Cochise county should send her best
 men and a respectable number of i them.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications. as they cannot reach the diseased portion or the ear. There is only one way to cure deaf ness. and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eutachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rum bling sound or imperfect hearing. and when entirely closed. Deafness is the result. and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube re- stored to normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine eases out of ten are caused by Catarrn, which is nothing but an inflamed con- dition of the mucous surfaces.

1t is important for more thaa

rights receive better prices than
are now offered; no less to his iu-

not be flooded and the store

Gall to Cotton Growers: Asso-
citation Of Lancaster Coun-
ty, to Meet at Lancaster
Jan. l4th, 1905.

For the last ~ or AZ days the
farmers Of the South, especially
all those who raise cotton, have
been thrown on their mettle by
the sudden and unlooked-for
slumps in cotton, their great
money crop. They have been
busy organizing as if for a great
battle, which, it seems, now to
be inevitable. The farmers are
organized in almost every cour-
ty in the cotton belt. And tax.
ing the time OF year, condition
of weather, roads, eto., it is re.
markable that an organization
OF srch proportions could have
been effected in 80 short a time.
But the causes that have driven
the farmers to orga nization were
imperative, and nothing but a
want of manhood and apprecia.
ton of their rights and property
could have prevented them from
making a determined effort to
save themselves from the dis.
tress and ruin consequent upon
the present policy of the cotton
speculators and manipulators.
The thing for the farmers to do
just now is to hold all cotton in
their hands for go or 80 days, or
until we can get 10c. or more
for it. 1t does not matter how
low it may go; it will 60 up
again. 1t is only a matter of
time and necessity. There is no
undisputed reason for the pres
ent low price of cotton. The next
thing for the farmers to do is to
reduce the acreage of this years
crop 25 per cent. This is simply
business proposition, and one
that if not carried out by the
farmers will result in greater
loss to them than the present
low price, for it is evident that
more cotton will he carried over
than at any time before, and
this cotton will be thrown upon
the market at or about the siy.e
the new crop comes in; and if
we should have anything lice a
large crop we cannot expect to
get more than 5 or 6 cents for
it.
The matter of getting up mon
ey enough in the South to handle
the cotton crop is now being
worked and we think of all the
plans and propositions that
claim the attention Of tho South.
