URUGUAY A FERTILE FIELD.
American Consul Tells of Country's
Vast Riches.

Senior p. Requena Bermudez charge
d'affaires OF the Uruguay Legation. is
greatly interested in the report just made
by United States Consul John w. O'Hara,
who writes from MontevideO OF an inn
portant movement recently undertaken by
Uruguay in opening up for development
and trade vast fertile territory hitherto
practically cut off from commerce.
In this report Consul O'Hara speaks Of
the Importance Of the Rio Negro. or Black
River. which rises in Brazil and flows
across Uruguay emptying into the Uru-
quay River about 100 miles north OF
Buenos Ayres, and near Fray Bentos,
where are located the extensive Liebig
factories
The soil of this country is very fertile,
and the climate almost tropical; the sec
ton is adapted TO the raising of specially
fine tobacco. and 20 the production of
oranges. figs. grapes, lemons. and peaches.
Aside from the Uruguay Central Railroad.
there is no other within 100 miles of the
river.
More than $4,000 has been appropriated
for the Improvement of internal naviga-
ton, and new StedmeTs-tWO for passcn-
gers and two for freight-have been pur-
chased and placed in commission BY
this means 1t is expected to bring within
easy reach OF a convenient market "a ter
ritory comprising not less than 100000
acres Of fertile land
Two-thirds Of the country lies 20 the
east of PasO de los Toros, where the rail-
road crosses the river. Few bridges have
been built or highways constructed Eith-
ertO. so that much Of the best of Uru-
guay's land has not been developed for
want of communication. All this is now
to be changed under the general CONVEX
sion law of last winter.
The government has explored the river
as far east as the mouth of the Tacuar-
embo, a distance of more than 100 miles
The result OF the explorations has been
submitted 10 tho President. ana. according
to FL Ola. the official newspaper is re-
eardcd with great satisfaction by the
Executive. The distance from tie Ia
cuarembo, by the Rio Negro. to Monte
video is about 800 miles. and about 800
to Bueuos Ayres; so it may be realized
that this river is ono of the mighty
streams of the world.

PREACHER ATTACKS LIQUOR.
Rev. c. G. DOney says Dealers and
Drinkers Are "Parinf.s."

Rev g. G. DOney. pastor Of the Ham

II O'Clock service yesterday morning The
subject chosen was .The white man
burden" which Rev Mr. DOney pictured
as the evil of drink. A large congregation
heard him. The sermon. in part, follows:
THE sane minds Of the American people
realize that the liquor traffic is an inn
measurable curse. Economically, polit-
ically. socially, and relIgiously the traffic
has nothing TO offer which Is not over
balanced by a hundredfold evil. In the
face OF this conviction there arises the
practical question. What should be done
to destroy it. Ordinary wisdom. patriot
ism, and morals viii therefore seek for
legal measures which VIII reprcss the sale
of liquor everywhere
Free from Pharisaism, the people should
declare the makers and sellers of liquor
to have forfeited their claims to respect
ability and decency. More and more is
this becoming the state OF public opinion,
and the liquor man. whether he be mil
liOnaire or bottle cleaner, is the pariah OF
society. The text OF the seTmOn WIS Il
