THE ASIA ARRIVES.

The Pacific Mail steamship Asia,
Captain Gaukroger, arrived in port at
4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, six days
from San Francisco, after a very
pleasant trip. She carries a fair
amount of freight and has nineteen
cabin passengers. Only one of these
is to stop over here, Mr.. w. A de
Haviland. Among the through pas
sengers are Mr.. o. H P. Noyes. tea
merchant. who is going TO Yokohama
]. c. Seiffried, A. c. Dryer, H UIrichs
and c. Walter Clifton are all tea men
going through to Kobe. E. Quacken-
bush is a tea man who is going through
to Shanghai.
Perhaps the most noteworthy pas
senger is Rev. Father L. L. Conrady,
who was the companion of Father Da-
mien for eight years at the Molokai
work among the lepers there.
The Asia sails al 10 o'clock this
morning for Yokohama.
CHARTERED TO LOAD SUGAR.
The lumber schooner Andy Mahony
has been chartered by w. G. Irwin &
Co. to load sugar for San Francisco.
The Andy Mahony arrived in port
some time ago with lumber from Port
Gamble. It was some days after she
arrived here before she began to be
discharged. Good progress was made
after she began discharging until the
arrival of the Alaskan, which had
about 100000 feet OF lumber aboard.
Steamships take precedence of sailing
vessels and the lumber from the Alas
kan required about all of the avail

THE WARD FOR MIDWAY.

The auxiliary schooner FIaurence
Ward is off for Midway Island. Cap
tain Piltz received his orders late Fri
day night and preparations began
forthwith for the voyage to the lone
" spot in the sea where the cable
operators of the Pacific Commercial
Gable Company keep their lonely but
unending vigil.
Orders have been expected for some
time, as il was known that fresh sup>
plies would soon have to be sent 20
Midway, and the FIaurence Ward was
thoroughly oyerhauled some time ago
and put in perfect readiness. Her
cold storage plant was greatly changed
so as TO permit of a larger variety
of cold storage goods being taken. Her
cold storage space before had been all
practically in one compartment. This
has been changed so that there are
several compartments, and each class
of cold storage supplies can be kept
separately and at its own appropriate
temperature.
AS soon as orders for the Flaurence
Ward TO go were received, the work of
getting the required stores aboard be-
gan. These stores include all kinds of
foodstuffs. fresh fruits vegetables and
meats; all kinds of timed stuffs and
dried fruits-in fact, all kinds of eata-
bles Besides these there are all kinds
of supplies required by the cable
colony.
The Flaurence Ward is loading about
fifty tons of soil. There is no soil at
Midway except what has been taken
there; and except the indigenous sand
vegetation nothing will grow except as
soil has been taken there for it to
grow in. Every time the cable COM
pany sends a vessel with stores to
Midway, soil is taken along so that
grass and flowers may be grown to
break the monotony of the glare of
the sand and its injurious effects on
mind and body as well.
The F'laurence Ward carries crew
of six, but in addition about three la
borers viii be taken to replace as
many already there. Ordinarily a voy-
age TO Midway and back requires
about forty days. But Captain Piltz
hopes to reduce that time on the pres
eur voyage

DEATH IN OIL FUMES.
Gases From Mexico's Great Well
Worse Than Fire.

New Orleans, La. Especially -
Deadly fumes from Mexico's great
oil we'll fire, 60 miles from Tampico,
have killed more than q score of
workmen during the past few days,
completely blackened the white paint
on the side of ships endangered COM
merce and caused thousands of dol
lars damage to ranches and other
neighboring interests, according 10
Capt. Michael Henrichsen, of the
steamship City of Mexico, which
reached New Orleans last night.
Rattling to save what they could
from the wreckage, American mine
owners, after spending more than
$1,000,000, finally succeeded in ex-
tinguishing the blaze but even great
er terrors than before prevailed then.
The flames had consumed the noM-
GUS gases, but when the fire was
stopped the gases burst forth. La
borers inhaling a bit of the stuff
dropped in their tracks dead.
Owners of the we'll have appealed
to the Mexican government, and sew
eral companies of soldiers have been
sent to the scene to take the places
of the laborers, who refuse longer
to remain there.

FINANCIAL

The United States Treasury def.
cit SO far this fiscal year is $42,.

1t is a curious thing that United

as II nad been In the early part Of
1901, shortly after the trust was
formed, nor did 1t get nearer than Z
points In 1906 OF its high-watsr

A NIGHT RIDER
CONFESSES ALL
Ted Burton Tells a Remarkable
Story.

Tiptonville, Tenn. Especially =.
Tied" Burton, self-confessed Night
Rider, told a remarkable story of
Night Rider depredations, near Reel
Foot Lake, confessing to the part
he played in the outrages which

ting to death of Captain Quinten
Rankin, an attorney of Trenton,

inent in this part of the State.

er OF large tract of land in the
Reel Foot Lake region, who has suf-
fered much at the hands of the raid
ers, and Mayor Cleveland Donelson,
of Tiptonville.
The confession was made freely
and voluntarily, and apparently with
out a Qualm of conscience he glibly
unfolded his story.
While Burton denies that he was
present when Captain Rankin was
put to death, he admits that it was
through information given by him
that the band congregated and took
the attorney while he was staying
at the hotel at Walnut Log.
According to Burton's confession,
Tom and Garrett Johnson, under ar
rest, and William Watson, under
bond in connection with another raid,
were the leaders of the band.

AUSTRIA is LETTING DOWN.
The Foreign Minister In a Speech
Indicates q Yielding Attitude de--will
Not Insist That the Question Of AN
nexotion Of Bosnia and Herzegovina
he Elimini ted.

Sofia (By Cable) The Bulgarian
government informed the represen-
tatives of the foreign powers here
of its acceptance of the principle OF
paying compensation to Turkey,
which has been the burden OF per-
sistent diplomatic representations
during the past fortnight on the
part of all the great powers. This
decision was arrived at by the cabi-
net after a long debate, in which
Emperor Ferdinand used all his in
fuence in favor of peace with COM
pensation.
Obdurate members Of the cabinet
who were opposed to the principle
of compensation for fear of stultify-
ing their party were won over by the
reminder that there were plenty
other politicians who would be glad
TO replace them and assume the re-
sponsibility for the payment of the
Rumelian tribute.
The cabinet in a measure, was
influenced also by the sentiment of
the deputies.
AS further step in the direction
of peace. $4,000 reservists will be
discharged, leaving the army at its
normal strength of 10000. The
government, within a day or two.
will send a plenipotentiary to Con-
stantinople to negotiate a treaty with
Turkey. 1t is believed that by these
steps Bulgaria has done it's share to
clear the situation and conciliate
opinion abroad.

Caracas, venezneia (By cabie) -
President Castro, in his answer tt
the second Netherlands note. haf
declined to revoke his decree of May
IA prohibiting the transshipment OF
goods for Venezuelan ports at Cura-
Gao which has been 30 obnoxious to
the people of that island. This an
swer was made September IL. The
President expresses surprise that the
Netherlands government should ask
for the revocation of this decree af-
tor acknowledging Venezuela's right
to Issue IT, Continuing he asks the
Netherlands TO send q confidential
agent to Caracas to arrange the
terms of an amicable settlement OF
the difficulties between the two gov
ernments.
The chief of the artillery branch
of the Venezuelan army has COM
pleted the preparations for the de-
fence OF La Guaira. In anticipation

la, dated August 20, said:
'The revocation of the decree OF
May IA is demanded In the most
energetic manner and the Govern
ment of Venezuela must from this
moment and without delay fulfill the
protocol of 1894 and not prolong
the intolerable state of affairs which
1t has created by the decree of May
IA.
1T is only this revocation which
can confirm, as an accomplished fact,
the assurance from your excellency
that the personal fault committed by
the minister-resident IN. DeReus)
has not altered the good relations
so happily existing between the two
nations, and that Venezuela also de-
sires to maintain them on the most
amicable basis"

China's desire for even more cordial
relations with the republic than have

gram decided upon at Washington

feet should return to America via
the Suez Canal. The 6 ships of the
feet left Yokohama together on Sun

VI BraQBtreetB gayBs
Retail trade still reflects the In
huence of warm weather and the ap-
proach of election breeds conserve
tism as regards heavy buying and
the projection Of new enterprises.
However. there is more doing and
more confident buying of raw ma
terial by manufacturers, who appar-
emily forecast q change for the bet
ter In the latter part of this year
or the early part of next. The large
movement of wheat to market is re-
sponsible for the optimistic tenor OF
reports from distributive centers In
the Northwest. Effects of the drouth
are shown in almost total suspension
of steamboat traffic on the Ohio Riv-
er and its tributaries, the holding up
of large quantities of coal along that
stream, the prevalence of destructive
forest fires, the low stage of water
supplies. Reports as to collections
vary, being best in the Northwest
and poorest at the South.
The situation in textile lines is In
tere5ting, and not without encourage
ment. While jobing trade Is con-
fined largely to small immediate ship
ment or filling-in orders, there is
fair activity in the Chicago district
and farther West, where the break
ing of the drouth has helped senti-
ment. In the cotton goods line one
feature early was reduction In
shirting prints, but later an enlarged
demand was reported for print
cloths at Fall River, and prices ad-
vanced 1s to u cent. Confident buy
ing by large printing interest is
the reported basis for the strength
In demand and prices.

CALL 1T A BLUFF.

ton From The Revolutionists.
Willemstead (By Cable) .-Accord-
Ing to letters received here, the peo-
pie of Venezuela are confident of O
prompt settlement OF the dispute be-
tween that country and Holland. The
refusal Of President Castro to re-
woke the decree Of May IA is regard
ed as a bluff to distract attention
from the doings of the revolutionists.
The Dutch schooner Aura arrived
here today from Tucacas, Venezue-
Ian port about 90 miles northwest
of Puerto Cabello. The Aura is the
only Dutch vessel that has called at
O Venezuelan port since the rupture
between Holland and Venezuela. She
was dispatched from Greneda and
was permitted to load at Tucacas,
sailing thence for st. Thomas.
