'ecial Cablegram to The Star.

LONDON, May 13.-The following memo
randum with reference to the American
gooseberry mildew has been issued by the
board of agriculture and fisheries: Dur
ing the winter of 1867 the presence of the
American gooseberry mildew in certain gar
dens of Worcestershire has been definitely
confirmed, and the cases investigated under
the auspices of the Worcestershire county
council. The reports which have been sent
to the board Of agriculture and fisheries

mildew passes into its summer stage the
board thinks it desirable to issue a further
warning to all fruit-growers nurserymen,
gardeners and others, growers of goose
berries

CALCUTTA, May 13.-Considerable fear
has been expressed lest the fiftieth ami
versary of the Indian mrtiny might re-
suit in another uprising. 1t was at first
proposed to celebrate the dates in con-
nection with the mutiny, but military
authorities said that 1t would be difficult
to calculate the effects of such celebra-
lions on the oriental mind and for this
reason the entire subject has been prac-
tically abandoned, though some Of the
older soldiers more nearly allied with
the traditions Of the uprising and its
suppression may celebrate in a small
way. The mutiny began on Sunday after

The Pioneer notes that the progress Of
tea in foreign countries has been very de-
cided of late. During 1905 record Indian
crop was reported; also a Ceylon crop that
has been beaten only once in the history Of
the making of tea. And yet, despite the
unusual crop. the supply of tea was unequal
to the demand and it seems probable that
unless coarse plucking is resorted to this
condition Of affairs will continue to exist
for some years to come. Even in the
United Kingdom, where it has often been
said that consumption had reached its full
limit, the reduction of duty by Id. per pound
increased consumption from $50 to 6.1S
pounds per head, while foreign demand in
creased from 100000 to 162, 000, 900
pounds One remarkable feature of the for
eign trade is the extent to which North
America Is buying tea.

Bob Fitzslmmons Knocked Ont.


Jack Johnson stopped Bob Fitz-
simmons in the second round of a
six-round boxing bout before the Wash
ington Sporting club at Philadelphia
Wednesday night. Fitzsimmons did
not show a trace of his former Prov
ess, and it is probable johnson could
have stopped him in the opening If
he had cared to.
What put Fitzsimmons out was
a light right to the jaw. The old man
fell to the floor and as he made no at
tempt to rise the referee stopped the
bout. The kissing which usually fol-
lows knockouts of this character was
lacking, the spectators evidently TAX

Mysterious Glnss Ralls.

According to Il foreign correspondent
of the geological survey at Washing.
ton, among the most interesting fea.
lures of the small island of Billion,
between Sumatra and Borneo, an Is.
land long famous for Its rich tin mines,
controlled by the Dutch government,
are the glass balls of Bllliton," found
among the tin ore deposits. These nat.
ural glass balls are round, with grooved
surfaces. Similar phenomena are oc.
casionally found in Borneo and Java
as well rs in Australia. The CORE.
spondent quoted thinks they cannot be
artificial, and there are no volcanoes
near enough to support the theory that
they are volcanic bombs Besides, II
is claimed, the CLASSY rocks produced
by the nearest volcanoes are quite diff.
ferent in their nature from the mate
rial of the balls. 1t is suspected that
the mysterious objects were elected
ages ago from the volcanoes of the
moon and afterward fell upon the
earth.

Saturday morning on the Pere Mar
quette railroad The crash occurred
between Ionia and Salem. Mich.
Almost as appalling as the wreck
itself is the fact that for ten minutes
before it occurred every operator along
the line from Detroit to Bay City
knew that it was inevitable.
There was nothing could be done
to stop it. Officials of the road were
planning, and did actually start a re-
lief train to the scene of horror before
the fatal crash occurred.
The accident occurred upon single
track line between an excursion train
of IL cars bound from lonia ito De-
troit, and a freight train going in the
= opposite derection.
The big freight engine ploughed
through five of the eleven cars OF
the passenger train. making kndling
wood of them.
The cause of the wreck is placed
upon the train dispatcher's orders be-
ing mixed, and the sending of the
freight from Salem when 1t should
have taken siding and waited for
the passenger.
The wrecked passenger train was
an annual excursion train that Is run
from Ionia about this time every year.
1t is largely patronized by employees of
the railroad and their families. All
told there were 800 men, women and
children aboard the wrecked train.
