NO LONG VACATION FOR HIM
Rev. J. P. WardIaw Believes in
Keeping Things on the Hum.

Rev. j. p. Wardlaw, of the Meth
odist church, returned Yesterday from
Dawson where he has been assisting
for the past three weeks in revival
services. These services were largely
attended and highly successful in re-
suits.
II will begin revival rervices in
Americas the first Sunday in May"
said Mr.. Wardlaw, 'and probably con-
tiuue them over two or three weeks.
We will then be into the heat of sum-

No, not for any length of time. 1t

FRUIT FALLS FROM THE TREE

Americas bravely withstood the
half dozen complete killings" of the
lpeach crop and refused to quake at
the knees when the canteloupe crop
was battered out a week ago and even
the block berry crop was endangered,
but yesterday she was struck stag
garing blow amidships in the announ-
cement of the utter humiliation of the
plum crop. Critical Americas will
proceed to SWIVEL Historically at this
dread tidings, for what encompasseth
her soul so much as does green plums
and salt? But the fact remains that,
plumetically, we are out of business
this summer. The crop is not an i'm
portant one, but the girls love them,
and it helps out the doctors and the
druggists during the dull period by
stimulating the sale of salts and pare
geric. But the plum crop is wiped out
along with the peaches and other JOY
promoters.

MEDITERRANEAN COMPLAINTS
Difficulties of Malta Merchants In Buying American Goods.

Washington, August 11.-(Special.) )-Rc- gently Consul John H. Grout of Valletta, has been in receipt of many complaints from Malta merchants on account of ex- orbltant forwarding charges which they have had to pay on goods ordered by , them from American houses, which leads him to discuss the shippnk question and furnishing practical pointers:
 If what these Malta business men say is true, and they appear to have abund- ant proof, many American houses seek ing a foothold in this market for their goods have every reason to correct their methods of delivery. It would seem that when buyer sent an order for goods, and there was no question to settle ment, his instructions should be carried out as regards forwarding. Instead. In many instances. ink has been entirely wasted in giving instructions, and the con- signee has been saddled with goods that he can not sell on account of forwarding charges being so high that, added to cost of goods. no consumer will pay even the gross cost, lot alone small margin of profit The American merchant, on the other hand, has his money, and if he happens to be shortsighted, feels satisi I'd that he has done a fair stroke of busi- ness. As far as Malta is concerned, from matters that are cropping up now and then it Is apparent that there will have to be quick reform in methods or trade here in American goods will fall off to not a slight extent
 For several years, up to nearly two years ago these islands had direct com munication with New York. Previous to this connection very few of our goods were to be found on sale. The advent of the direct line provided an opportuni- ty for Maltese houses to treat with those of the United States. Trade started grad ually but surely, and by tho time that this connection was severed, the steamers of tho line being sold to Japanese, our goods were well represented here. Direct communication brought our goods here with little da lge and freight rates were regarded as reasonable. The goods them selves possessed quality of desirable nature and were satisfactory to both deal CT and consumer as regards profit and ultimate cost.
 Upon the cessation of direct communi- cation merchants here found that their dealings in our goods had been so sa- vorable that in many lines an established trade had been set up. There was q demand for the goods, and they desired to still continue to order. believing that the only difference would be, possibly, slight increase in freight rates and longer time taken for delivery. In many in- stances, 1t would appear. they were dcom- ed to disappointment Orders were still sent and with them specific instructions as to routes for the goods to be sent. Had these instructions been carried out, many of the complaints would not have arisen. As a rule. goods brought in New York are shipped according to instruc- tions. although there are cases where the American shipper has ignored them.

to have been equally possessed of the lust and plunder frenzy and of wanton desire for the destruction of property. In the back parts of the town French shells wrought less death and destrue- ton than Arab bullets and knives. eorpses, stabbed, gashed and battered, were scattered about. Many thus killed were punderers, who had fought among themselves for the loot or were tram pied to death in a stampede to escape from the French reinforcements.
 According to another correspondent 500 Jewish girls were carried off by Arabs and over 100 Jews were slain Even wom- en and children were killed when they refused to reveal the hiding places of money and valuables.
 Frghtful misery has been caused by a shortage of food which sold at famine prices Looters are now being shot on sight. Property estimated at s2,5oo,OoO has been destroyed.

London, August 11-Belated Casa Blanca dispatches today draw terrible pictures of the scenes of desolaton and horr )r hhere, besides confirming the seriousness of the danger while the Arabs were fierce ly attacking the consulates. owing to the mall force landed from the French crus , ' for their defense. After plundering the \ Moorish and Jewish quarters the Araba found that they must first drive away the guards around the consulates, which would place the European shops and stores at their mercy. It needed all of the courage and resources of Lieutenant De Tyssers, who with thirty men, was l sent ashore from the French cruiser Cali Nee to save the situation. The Arabs oc- hupied a deserted French hotel near the British consulate and also close to the Spanish consulate, from which they poured furious rife fire Lieutenant De Tyssiers' command charged with bay onets and the Arabs were completely routed.
 Series of Pllages.
 By evening the town was clear of Arabs. except those in hiding who were unable to escape. Then commenced a second series of pillages. The Spaniards came first, each man guarding his own shop and robbng his neighbours. Then the Jews crept tmidy from their hiding places and began to prowl about footing wherever they could. When the foreign legion was distributed throughout the town to preserve order then came final and most thorough pillage of all.
 The same correspondent, wiring on Sat urday, says that not even San Francisco after the earthquake, gave such an im- z pression of horror and a French officer who was present at the eruption or Mount Pelee said that Casa Blanca was Infinitely more awful The Arabs seemed

At the Western Union of flee, Manager Stewart said ten of his am- ployes were al work, and that he had se- cured three operators today and expect ed to constantly increase the list. Tho striking operators held a largely attend ed meeting today, and the sentiment for a determined fight was unanimous. A committee was appointed to formulate grievances and demands and present them to the Western Union management. They will demand an increase of 15 per cent added to their 10 per cent raise in salaries. They will also insist on an eighthour work day
