RAIN WANTED
The Arostook County Potato Crop is in Danger Unless
 It Comes.

Bangor, Me, Aug 3.-The great po- tato crop of Aroostook county, esti- mated this season at 15,OO0O0O bush- els, is seriously menaced by the con- tinued wet weather, and if the rains continue at this critical period of the crops growth, it will suffer severely.
 Although the land planted for the yield this year is about 5,000 acres larger than last year, it has been es- timated that the amount harvested will not equal last years record crop by al- most 2,500,0O0 bushels. As Aroostook county is the largest potato growing district in the world, the condition of the crop there is one of the greatest factors in determining the price of fubers.
 The transportation problem which troubled the growers considerably last year does not seem to be in any better shape, and at present it looks as if last years conditions of waste and rottenness would prevail.
 The new demurrage tax, however, which provides for a fine for cars held over specified time is expected 10 help the situation considerably

williams May Not Get It.

New Orleans, Aug 3.-The latest re- turns here from the Mississippi sena- torial primary, make it appear doubt fuf whether John Sharp Williams has won the election over Governor Jones vardaman. These figures, which are unofficial. give vardaman the election by 5S votes. They are made up from the official returns of Mississippi Ts counties. the official majorities in five counties and estaimated majorlties in the six remaining counties. The close ness of all returns received here indl- cates that the official count will prob- ably be necessary to decide the cleo ton. It may require another day to ret this count.

THREE BULLETS IN HIM.
Boston Chinman Now Lies in a
 Critical Condition.

Boston, Aug. 2.-Although none of the seven Chinamen who were taken shooting in Chinatown, as a. result of which three men are already dead had died during the night, several were reported to be in a serious con- dition to-day. At the emergency hospital 1t was said that the four men there had passed a comfortable night and would recover, with the exception of Lee Kai, who had bullet holes through his right side and both thighs. At the relief station, Char lie Yick, whose heart had been pen erated by bullet was in critical condition.
 The Chinamen who did the shoot ing are supposed to be members of the New York society of the Hep Sing Tong. The killing of member of their body in Philadelphia recent. ly in which Boston men were sup. posed to be implicated, is believed to be the reason for their descent upon Boston's Chinatown last night.
 The police have succeeded in : ap- pretending five Chinamen, believed to be members of the band and they have been charged with murder. The police to-day were still looking for others as 1t was believed that the party responsible for the murders numbered from ten to fifteen.

DeeriieId People Incensed Be. cause inc Machine Run
 Down a Small Boy.

Chicago, Aug 3.-Mobbed by farmers after their big touring car had accidentally run over a little boy, last Saturday. several prominent persons are said to have been driven from the automobile in the vicinity of Deerfield. III, forced to stand and look on while the big automobile was incinerated in big bonfire that farmers built under it, and then compelled to walk two miles through the country before they could find a driver who would take them to Highland Park.
 These statements were made by citizens at Deerfield yesterday, to clear up the mystery of the destruc- tion of car. about which little could be learned on account of tho manner in which the owners of the car guarded the accident
 It was stated on good authority yesterday that the occupants of the car were young Louis F. Swift, son of the millionaire packer. S. B. Cha pin, member of the brokerage firm of s. B. Chapin & Co, with offices in Chicago and New York, Mrs Chapin and a young woman.

AFTER THE MASSACRE.
France Will Ask for Police in Eight
 Moroccan Towns.

Paris, Aug. 3.-Exchanges be- tween the cabinets at Paris and Madrid concerning the program to be pursued in Morocco as an outcome of the Casablance massacre of last We'd nesday are proceeding actively. Nh difficulty is anticipated. but pending complete agreement the French foreign office merely announces that "energetic measures in conformity with the spirit of the Algeciras con- ference and in concert witn Spein will be taken"
 In addition to punitive measures at Casablanca there is reason to believe that France desires the immediate in- auguration of the police force at eight Moroccan ports.as provided for in the Algeciras agreement, together with a naval demonstration along the entire Moroccan coast. Six French warships are in readiness at Toulon. It is thought, If Spain agrees, that Casablanca will be occupied within one week by French and Spanish troops who will suard the gates of the town. permit fugitives to return, and afford protection for the resump- tion of work by the French company on the harbor improvements. No bombardment is deemed necessary. but the deposition of Maelanin Pasha and the punishment of those re- sponsible for the massacre will be the first exactions. The powers who signed the Algeciras compact will be notified of every step taken by France and Spain.
 The Gaulois to-day complains that the position of France is impossible. She will be held accountable. but she will be more handicapped than be- fore. Great Britain gave France a free hand in Morocco. the paper con- tinues in return for the cession of French interests in Egypt. but Ger many would have right of protest if France exceeds the mandate given her.

POLICE BAFFLED
Cannot Fiud the Slayer of the New York Girl Who Was
 Found Murdered.

Nv York, Aug. 3.-With several persons held in custody on the sus- picion that they may throw some light on the murder of Katie Tiet- schler, whose mutilated body was found in an east side cellar, the po- lice to-day confess that they have been baffled at every turn in their search for the slayer. Four more persons were detained early to-day by the police in the hope that some clue to the murderers identity will be developed. The police are anxious to find man who Is known as Jake" who is said to have known the Tietschler child and whose de- scription fits the man who was seen to give the child candy and kiss her while talking to her on the street the day before she disappeared.
 Four brothers, Thomas, Louis, Gio- vanni and James Esposito, who keep fruit stand in front of the house on First avenue where the child's body was found, were taken into custody by detectives to-day. The police found that the Espositos used the cellar where the body was found for the storage of waste cases and push carts and that they made frequent visits to the cellar during the day. The Esposito fruit stand is open for business the better part of twenty four hours and the police hope that hn nlr through which the identity of the child's murderer may be revealed. Coroner Hamburger examined the Es- posito brothers to-day.
 The police are trying to find the man Jake, whose last name is not known. Jake was well known in the neighborhood,w where 1t is said that he knew Anna Messner, Rippolone, the shoemaker, and his assistant, Bon fanta, who is being detained by the coroner.
 Karl Tietschler, the father of Katie. said to-day that Jake knew the little girl very well. Jake has not been seen since little Katie was reported missing. The police are working on the theory that the child must have known the murderer olE- erwise 1t would have been difficult to have lured her into the cellar. The theory is also held that the slay- CT knew about the cellar and knew all the habits of the people in the neighborhood. In the thronged streets of the east side the appear ance of a stranger Is quickly noted by the residents who know all their neighbors and their habits as re- suit of close propinquity. The ap- pearance of stranger talking to Katie Tietschler would have been quickly observed and hence the po- lice are strong in the opinion that the child came to her death at the hands of one who is known in the neighborhood.

TWO FATALITIES
Five Year Old Child Drank Car bolic Acid By Mistake This
 Afternoon
MAN IS DROWNED

Two accidents one which resulted fatally, the other which is likely to result the same way occurred to-day.
 Elder Christine Johnson, aged 5. of 124 Dikeman street, took a small bottle of carbolic acid of table this afternoon about 2 o'clock and be- fore she was discovered by her moth- CT she had drank so much that it is a question whether the child will live. At press hour she was in the office of Dr Lally on North Main street where he and Drs Monogan and Swenson were working on her. The child's mouth was horribly burn ed and evidently she took big dose of the poison. The family was nov ing to the next door and that is how the child got hold of the bottle. The father frantic stricken rushed with the child all the way from his home to Dr Lally's office.
 Edward Poluski, Lithuanian, while swimming in the Naugatuck river above the plant of the Ameri- can Pin company in Waterville about noon time went out beyond his depth and as he could not swim he was drowned. Although couple of his companions were on the bank they could not swim and they saw their friend go down into his watery grave without their being able to lend him a helping hand.
 No one seems to know much about the drowning and about Poluski. They do not know where he resided. Although Medical Examiner Crane was notified, up to press hour he had learned very little about the case.

SHIPS ON PARADE
King Edward and Queen Alex andra Re..ewed 200 of
 Englands Vessels.

Portsmouth, Eng, Aug S.-The goo ships of war constituting Great Britaia's home fleet paraded before King Edward and Queen Alexandra to-day on the Solent, and incidental ly furnished magnificent pageant for the opening of the annual Cowes regatta week.
 Spread out in seven long lines be- tween the Isle of Wight and the Hampshire shore, this splendid array of vessels formed floating steel city with population of 35,000 ofi- cers and men. Never before have so many British men-of-war been seen together under the control of sin gle admiral. From the battleship Dreadnought down to the smallest sumbarine every vessel was decked with flags. The crews were assem- bled on deck and as the. king and queen on board the royal yacht Vic toria and Albert passed down the lines each ships company cheered. For eleven miles up and down the king and queen steamed between steel walls.
 This gathering of warships forms the recently organized home guard section of the British navy, and the government and the admiralty are so proud of the assemblage that they departed from the usual rule about visitors and threw the entire fleet open to the critical inspection of the public. Dotted through the three central lines were nor less than six flagships, headed by the Dread nought, flying the pennant of the commander-in-chief, Vice-Admiral Francis c. B. Bridgeman.
 The splendid naval panorama was completed by scores of pleasure yachts clustered of the walls of the royal yacht squadron's castle at Cowes. King Edwards famous old racing cutter Britannia, on which their majesties are to live during the regatta, was moored near the castle and within close proximity to the yachts upon which MT and Mrs An thony Drexel, Sir Thomas Lipton and Herbert c. Squiers, the American minister to Panama. are entertaining large parties of guests.
 Hosts of pleasure launches and ex- cursion steamers crowded with thou sands of the general public. each with It's band of music playing, Helped to enliven an unusually at- tractive scene. The weather, which was gloomy in the morning, cleared pp. before the departure of the king from Portsmouth.

- I was suffering with eczema for q

Small pimples broke out around my
waist-line and where the clothing was
tight on the body. These pinples be-
gan to enlarge and thicken until they
formed in patches. Then it worked
upward until my face was covered.
At first I did not notice it much until
I became warm from working. Then
it seemed almost unbearable as the
parts seemed inflanaed and itched so
that I could hardly keep from scratch

rather scaly and became moist when
rubbed. Afterward the skin seemed
parched and highly discolored. T re-
