Speaking of the cultivation of pea nuts, Consul Johnson says that the area devoted to it in Spain in normal years is about 14,500 acres, giving an average yield of 2.000 pounds to the area. Peanuts are usually plant ed as a second crop after early wheat or green foodstuffs, and are generally sown in July and harvested in November. Farmers do not con- slider the crop profitable for high class soils if spot prices fall below $40 per ton. Exports of peanuts from Valencia and sub-ports average about 4,500 tons annually, and the importing countries, in the order of importance, are Holland, Great Brit ain, Algiers, France and Italy. Pea nuts are not imported in this. section of Spain, but peanut oil is sometimes shipped from Java and Mozambique, especially in years of shortage In the Spanish olive crop, the oil being used to substitute olive oil for cooking purposes.

 WASHINGTON, May O.-General Kuroki and party of officers of the Japanese army, under the es- cort of Lieutenant General MacAr- thur and several officers of the United States army, arrived here. After a brief rest at their hotel the distinguish ed visitors made an informal sight seeing tour of the city. The first off, cial function in this city in honor of General Kuroki occurred at night when he and his party were given dinner by Secretary of War Taft.
 General Kuroki and his staff were met at the railroad station by Ambas- sador Aoki and the entire Japanese legation. General J. Franklin Bell. chief of stan. U. s. A., great number of other military officers and squad ron of the Thirteenth cavalry, who es- corted him to the New Willard.

Practically everything made, worn and consumed in the United States is in the hands of trusts and com pines and all the law suits so far de- cided and brought by the legal de- partment of the government have been unable to open the way for competition. A Washington official, who has had as much to do with the proceedings of the government in the courts as any other, declares that competition will be a thing of im- agination in interstate commerce until congress passes law that will give to the national government the right to license every concern doing an interstate business, limit it's cap ital stock and empower the courts with the right to suspend the busi- ness of violators of the law. Threatened imprisonment and fines do not amount to anything" de- clared this official. What does a great combine care for a fine of a few thousands of dollars in several cases, when it can turn around and make the public pay the fines by fix ing the prices at which its commodi- ties may be sold. The Standard oil Co will make the public pay dearly for all 1t loses in the various suits brought against it in all parts of the country. The people suffer in the end. the public is deceived into the idea that the trusts are being daily brought to their knees. and the legal department of the government is los ing time doing practically nothing"

 There are two reasons why the streets of Manhattan are in bad shape. One reason is that they are not made according to contract in the first place. The other reason is that all sorts of workmen are per- mitted to cut holes in them for all sorts of purposes and are not com pelled to mend them properly. Both causes are within the control of the borough authorities. - New York World.

Myron Wood Played Black Hand
 Game at 0wego, N. Y.
 OWEGO, N. r., May 10. - Myron Wood, youth of this town, was taken into custody on charge of blackmail.
 Fred O. Hewett, a wealthy resident of Owego recently received letter de- manding sum of money. The com munication was turned over to the au- thorities, who put S26 in the place specified by the writer. This amount the alleged blackmailer secured and got away with despite the fact that he was seen. Soon afterward Mir. Hawett received another letter demanding more money and in which it was said, "'We don't resort to dynamite; have more effective means"
 Another sum of money was planted, and Wood was arrested just as he se- cured 1t. When searched, 1t is alleged, be had in his possession some of the marked bills hidden In the first h. stance and all of the money planted later. It is said he told the authorities the remainder of the first sum was at his home and that 1t was found there.
 Wood is not yet twenty years old.

The Kaiser Wilhelm canal, which forms an inland connection between the German ocean and the Baltic sea, is to be widened and deepened, so as to permit the passage of the newer type of men-of-war having deeper draft and greater measurement than those constructed twelve years ago, when the canal was opened. A bill for that purpose will be submitted to the German federal legislature. The proposed change will cause an ex- penditure of about $476,000.
