COTTON IN QUEENSLAND.
Two New. Varieties Evolved Through
Naturalization.

Two New Varieties Evolved Through
Hybridization.
United States Consul Cooling, Of
Newcastle, South Wales, sends a re-
Port on two new species Of hybrid
cotton In Queensland that should be
of interest in this country, says the
San Francisco Chronicle.
Two new varieties Of cotton have
been evolved through hybridization by
DR.. Tomatis, Phi. D., an Italian resid-
ing near Cairns, Queensland, which
promises to revolutionize the growing
Of this useful plant. To these varie-
ties DR.. Tomstis has given the names
Of Caravonica 1. and Caravonica III.
Caravonica 1. is a cross between q
long-stapled cotton of the sea island
variety, grown in Mexico, and the sea
island Of Peru, resulting In peren-
NAL tree cotton, which attains a
height varying from ten to fourteen
feet It IL planted seven by seven
feet apart, about 800 trees per acre.
A tree six months old will bear
small crop the first season. A single
tree Is said to yield from 800 to 500
bolls season, these bolls being so
large that seventy will weigh one
pound, thus producing 1000 pounds of
clean-ginned cotton per acre. An Of
fer has been made In England to take
all the cotton produced at 20 cents per
pound on account of its superior quail
best cotton yet grown, chasing 1t as
wool cotton. CaravoEica II. is silk
cotton and is of even greater value, "a
cents per pound having been offered,
but the yield is not given.

"Oh, yes" cried Jethroe. They were
ont of mind for the moment. If I'd been
content to leave Zelkar 70 rot and die
when his ten dollars We're done with, as
any of that scoundrelly crowd would
have done, 1 should have had no trouble
with them. But 1t came to the ears of
one of them that had bought Zelkar a
small annuity, and they came smelling
round to see what they could find out.
They found out enough, for they learned
lat Zelkar had kept his key, and that
l had bought it, and they knew before
hand that 1 had the problems. So they
put their BLACKBOARD heads together, and
they decided that since l was member
of the Ezekiel firm at the time at which
1 became possessed of the problems, they
might accrue to me. It's true that we
lad compace to share and share alike
IN all things SO long as the partnership
lasted, but they did not share in the pur-
chase, and they weren't going to share
in the profits. It's no mere phrase to
say that they hunted me for my life
They had two or three tries at me, but
vas too many for 'em. They followed
me 10 the United states, and l was too
many for 'em there. And now we're
within two days of the great find. To-
morrow night will pay for ALL"

1t is an interesting circumstance,

the industrial and commercial rivalry
of Japana is to be directed, for obvf-
Gus reasons, against those very two
nations which have been her closest
friends and to which, for her awak-
ening already achieved, she owes
most. These are the United States
and the United Kingdom-or perhaps
the whole British Empire. 1t is worthy
of note that, while the latter has been
concluded with Japan a noteworthy
offensive and defensive alliance in
politics and military matters, the
two have been and are preparing for
tremendous industrial and CONNER
cial duel.

The future historian of the United
States will have abundantly interest
ing reading when he tackles the pri-
vate cables which, within the last 60
days, passed between President Roose-
welt, King Edward of England, the
German Kaiser, President Loubet Of
the French Republic, the Car and
the Mikado Some Of these cables,
it is stated, are of an exceedingly
personal nature, but they show, it is
AIDED, the persistence of President
Roosevelt, accompanied by remarks
as to sound financial and economic
sense, and they display also, it is as
serted, the kindness of England's
King and the helpfulness of the Ger
man Emperor and of the President OF
the French Republic. Incidentally, 1t
is averred, continues the New York
Sun, some of the cables give momen-
tary evidences of testines on the part
of the Car and the Mikado. These
private cables will be tucked away in
the secret vaults of the State Depart
ment at Washington and will not see
the light of day until all the great
actors In the peace climax have gone
to eternity and a future Bancroft is
permitted to handle them.

English, and in the wide significance
of the sign-language, Spotted Tail
conversed, and for hours, with only the
intermission of hearty dinner which the
Chief shared, we talked with Spotted
Tail. The conversation covered every
subject of interest, l think, known to the
wild life of the plains.
Spotted Tail told us how the Indian
hunted the buffalo in the old times; how
the medicine-men called the animals by
burning sweet-grass; how the animals
were caught in the surround and done to
death in the stone corrals; how Mato
Osansan, the grizzly. was circumvented
by the cunning Sioux hunter; how the
mountain-lion was tolled out of his den
by the exact mimicry of one who was
able to initiate the cry of young rabbit;
also how the geese and cranes were lured
to destruction by the hunter who hid
in the tall marsh-grass at the head of
lake and initiated their whirring calls
All these and a hundred other things

However, he dispelled this idea He was
genial, extremely friendly, in fact and speaking
English somewhat made us feel that we had come
into his country welcome visitors rather than as
enemies. The opinion soon prevailed among us
that the Sioux had already declared among them
selves for the signing of the treaty. Even such
old frontersmen as California Joe and Felix Michaud
were deceived. These old plainsmen were made
to feel that Spotted Tail their FRIEND that he
had come to note what his white brothers were doing
in the sacred country. They shrewdly guessed that
he wished to gather evidence of the country's
wealth in gold that he might the better press a
tribal claim for indemnity
1t was on the next day that in my capacity as

Spotted Tails camp With all the assurance of

and began to take notes. Here was the camp of

moment well-nigh in the mouth of all the world |
was filled with the desire to describe his picturesque

My notebook was upon my lap and was vigor-

A FTER well-nigh breathless dash across the
~ big Sioux reservation, having been chased
for one hundred and fifty miles by Spotted
Tails young men," small party had reached
the goal of endeavor We had gone into tent
quarters for the summer at the mouth of Clusters
Gulch and at the upper end of the Custer Mining
District, then two weeks old And this was on
French Creek in the Black Hills, at that moment a
brand-new colorado
Our little party of eleven now rounded out to
the number of sixty, the first mining camp of the
Black Hills. In own camp were several frontiers
men of the old regme-Ca California Joe Felix Michaud
and Jacques Boyer-rnen of the days of Kit Carson,
grown grizzled and weatherbeaten on the plains.
We soon located claims French Creek, three
hundred feet in breadth and from rim to rim of
the hills on either hand. Our status at this time
was that of the sooner We had run the blockade
of both military and Indians. But as it was known
that the United States commissioners were to meet
at Spotted Tails agency in August to treat with
the Sioux for their coveted territory felt secure
in our tenure. And also because of certain super
stlton had reason to feel safe from attack
of the young men" of the feathered scalp-lock;
for the Black Hills was to them sacred country
on account of its hot springs and wonder-caves
They believed that many good spirits had here their
abiding-place and therefore had neither fought nor
hunted upon the ground. The Cheyennes to the
north had such superstition, but these were a
mere handful and the log wall of a makeshift fort
offered ample protection against them.
We had been camped in the shelter of Clusters
Gulch for two weeks, feeling safe situation,
when one morning we got up to find an Indian
camp pitched across the creek. There were dozen
or more tepees, of srnoke-tanned buckskin, from
the tops of which blue smoke was curling sky
ward.
California Joe the first to make the discovery
and he awoke the rest of us. Say, boys he said
look yonder, will ye? We've got some red
nelghbors. | don't like the looks of EN-, but
reckon had better make their acquaintance
before night"
But we did not need to go to the tepees. About
mld-torenoon our attention called to the fact
that of the Indians were about to
pay visit At the time was busy
ollng and cleaning my rifle, and looked
up with no little curiosity to see three
blanketed figures approaching. #Etr|
In the course of four five minutes
the Indians were squatted at Our camp
fire. One of them big fat man with
face like that of a woman, but with a
searching pair of black eyes, which r
seemed to look through and through 49,
We had little idea who these Indians ~
were and it not until after a half
hours talk in which we exchanged
Smokes that discovered that our a.
chief visitor no other than the S%a
celebrated Spotted Tail. When this A
tact dawned upon US, there was as YOU K~@S
may imagine, no little uneasinesS in our
camp. 1t was his young men, who @e@y%
had chased nearly two hundred miles, n :
and we had every reason to believe
that the Chief himself was as hostile

secured one or two dollars in yellow dust and
trifng handful of the tiny rubies which were found
everywhere in the black gold-bearing sand along
French Creek.
Some one said: Here comes the big Indian
and we looked up to Spotted Tail sauntering
toward the other side of the creek He
advanced eisurey crossed the creek the boulders
which admitted foot-passage and seated himself
upon the sands which we had uncovered.
California Joe, who had just washed out handful
OF rubies, one or two quartz crystals and pinch
of gold-dust, took his seat beside the Chief He
had one fine quartz crystal, l remember half
as big ones thumb and almost brilliant as
diamond. This gem-for it was really gen-he held
out in the palm of his hand and offered the Chief
How. how, heap big medcine!' said Spotted
Tail, looking admiringly at the stone. why can
white men find such things in the earth? Injun
find them. Injun always hunt, no find anything
California Joe laughed. "Injun find any
thing" he said "'cause his medicine good"
Spotted Tails teeth cleaned across his broad
face. Nav" he said, "Injun medicine no good
No find pretty stones like this. White mans medi-
cine heap good; git everything he wants; git much
yellow dirt; git heap to eat; git pretty squaw; git
everything. Injun no got anything all same
blank-blank, me guess"
We all laughed heartily and the big Chief again
grinned clear across his face.
All that afternoon, worked filling our pans
with black sand and washing out the yellow dust,
Spotted Tail sat silently watching efforts
When We quit and went to supper the Chief rose
and stalked away to his camp.
The next day Sunday, and having put in a
hard weeks work, we rested. 1t about mid
forenoon that the big fat Chief again seen
approaching. California Joe, Felix Michaud, two

He looked gloomy and forbiddng at first. But

warmed into life and l never remember having had
