Conditions in East Africa Not

First among the difficulties the
commissioners place labor, on ac-
count of the apathy of the natives
and their disinclination to work.
The total area devoted to cation
groing under European supervi.
sion can scarcely exceed u few
thousand acres. The commission.
ers' opinion is that the only so.

Department OF Agriculture Issues
Report of Investigations of
Special Agent Hunter.

Washington, March 2.-The
department of agriculture today
issued a report on the results of
recent Investigations by Specs
ial Agent Hunter of the bureau of
entomology, giving recommends
tions looking to avertlng damage
10y tho holl wcevil. The report
says that the work of the bureau
of entomology for several years
has indicated that there is not
remote probability that the holl
weevil even will be exterminated
and that as II matter of fact
Injurious insects oven have been
exterminated. 1t says, however,
that although the very large yields
of cotton of former times no long
er may he possible in the region
now infested by the boil weeyil,
1t is entirely feasible to produce
cotton at margin of profit that
will compare f"vorably with that
resulting from the production of
most of staple crops of the United
States by following what is known
rs cultural method This consists
Exchanges and notifications of the
systems of cotton raising, includ-
ing the destruction of plants in the
fall, early planting, through cult
va,icn of the fields planting the
rows as far apart as feasible, thin
ming the plants in the rows uud us

SATO SAYS He DIDN'T SAY so
Aimar Sato, of the Japanese Peace
Delegation, Says Reporters Have
Beer Misquoting Him.

New York, July 31.-Aimar Sato, of
the Japanese peace delegation, has
made a statement in which he denies
that he has ever, in any interview, CIV
en- any outline of the terms upon which
Japanese will negotiate peace, or that
he has announced that Japan will make
any demands whatever. Mr.. Sato
said:
Il wish it to be clearly understood
that | have never given out anything
that could be construed as a demand
Of the Japanese peace commission, or
anything that could be taken
as a condition upon which
Japan would enter into negotia-
lions for peace. / wish also to deny
that I am the spokesman for Baron
Komura. Sensational articles have been
published which are fabrications, and
in which have been m%isquoted. | do
not know upon what terms peace may
be negotiated. l do not know what the
Japanese ENJOYS will consider as peace
terms. I know of no humiliating or
other demands"

TAKES AN OPTIMISTIC VIEW
Bradstreet's Weekly Review Indi-
Gates Good Business Conditions
Throughout the Country.

New York, July 2s.-Bradstreet's
weekly review says:
Crop reports and fall trade advices
are more unanimously favorable than
at any preceding time this season.
Confidence in the crop situation is re-
Elected by good fall orders and a vol
ume of wholesale and retail trade GER
tainly in excess of a year ago and
fully equal to the average at this
season. Special activity is noted in
cotton goods, which are in eager de-
mand at high prices, with scarcity of
desirable makes widely reported. Trade
in wooden fabrics is good, confirma-
ton of this being found in freer buy
ing by manufacturers of raw material
at ruling high prices.
Reports from the shoe and clothing
lines and from the lumber, hardware
and other building material lines are
generally satisfactory. A heavy move
ment of winter wheat has helped col
lections and developed more activity in
flour milling in the southwest.

JUST LIKE THE RUSSIANS
Could Not Let an Opportunity for
Loot escape Them.
Evidepce of the Manner in Which
the Rich Treasure at Port Ar
thur Disappeared.

San Francisco, Aug. 1.-Advices
from Japan bear out the report circu-
lated by the returning Russian civil
governor of Port Arthur that Gen.
Stoessel and officers surrendered the
fortress in order to loot the large
treasures, estimated at 3O,OO0,00
rubles ISIS, 0OO, OOO). These reports are
given credence by stories from Japan
of the lavish expenditure of the Rus
sian officers and many private soldiers
when prisoners.
There are nearly 10000 of these pris-
oners, and recently a private soldier
who attempted to escape had several
hundred dollars in paper.
Many officers must have small for
tunes in their possession, judging by
the way they buy Injuries. They or
der champagne, vodka and claret by
the case, and buy literally of all choice
foreign case goods and of all d~elicacies
and fruits. Some have ordered pianos
and other costly instruments with
which to while away the tedium.
The story goes that this money came
from the Port Arthur treasure, half OF
which was sent out in destroyers and
reached Russia, but the remainder OF
which was divided among the garrison,
only 1900, 900 rubles being found when
the Japanese took possession.

UNPRECEDENTED RAINFALL
Seven Inc;ies of Wafer Fell within
Twelve Hours, Causing Reser-
voirs to Break.

Bridgeport, Conn.,, July 31.-Loss of
life and immense damage 10 property
followed the bursting of reservoirs
north of this city as a result of an I'M
precedented fall of rain. The precipi-
tation in a series of showers which
struck across Connecticut reached a to-
tai of seven inches. The dam at Wards
mill at Easton went out, sending a
great body of water down through the
town of Trumbull. In a short time the
dam at Paper Mill reservoir broke.
There was no warning to people who
lived on the banks of what is usually
a small water course. The house &C.
cupied by John Lesco, his wife and
several children was picked up by the
flood and carried a mile below. The
Lesco family were asleep at the time,
but all were rescued after a p%erilous
journey.
A house occupied by Michael Moran
was hurled against the Berkshire
bridge and smashed to kindling wood
and it is believed that Moran was
drowned Police and firemen went to
the rescue and saved several lives.
In North Bridgeport the water swept
against the Barnum avenue bridge and
wrecked 1t when an ice WACO was
crossing it. In the wagon were Will
lam Kowzeski and John Starkin. The
wagon and horses were swept away
and Kowzeski was drowned. Starkin
was able to swim ashore.

Washington, July 27.-Through G.
Hauge, until about a month ago the
first secretary of the Sweden and Nor
way legation here, this government has
received what is thought to be a virtual
request that President Roosevelt rec
ognize the government of Norway. Mr..
Hauge resigned his position in the dip
lomatic service of Sweden and Norway
to become representative here of the
new Norwegian government. Repre-
sensations to the state department,
made by him, have been transmitted
to President Roosevelt, and are now
at Oyster Bay awaiting action.
The United States government will
make a careful investigation of the
status Of the new government before
taking any definite steps.

RESCUED JUST IN TIME
Thrilling Experience of Ne. and
Mrs. George A. Kelly During a
Fire in st. Louis.

st. Louis, July 2S.-Encompassed by
flames on every side, and with the sin
gle passage of escape shut off, George
A. Kelly, an electrician of 3215A Olive
street, with his right hand tightly
grasping a frail window shutter, his
left arm encircling the waist of his
wife, suspended himself and his almost
unconscious burden over the edge of
the windowsill of the second-story Of
their home.
Then the salvage corps arrived with
ladders and rescued the almost ex-
hausted man and his living burden
from their perilous position.
Just as the ladder was hoisted flames
and smoke broke out of the window,
binding the firemen and burning Mrs.
Kelly's hands. Mr.. Kelly's arms and
hands were blistering, and his fingers
had begun to relax their grasp on the
frail shutter, and had his rescuers ar
rived a minute later ne would have
been compelled to drop with his wife
to the sidewalk from sheer exhaustion.
