Many Wounded Perish Under Ruined
Homes in France.
Marseilles, June 14.-From IS to
100 dead and 100 injured is tonight's
estimated casualties as the result of
the earthquake which devastated seve-
raj towns in the Southern part of
France, particularly in,the departments
of Herault and Bouche du Rhone.
Great suffering is reported owing to
lack of bread and other necessaries
of life. The casualties may be great

been entirely searched. The villages
of st. Cannat and Rognes were COM
pletely demolished and Lambas, which
is IL miles from AK, suffered heavily.
According to advices received from
a number of places, wounded are still
imprisoned in the ruins and soldiers
are working desperately to rescue
them.
Survivors are finding shelter in tents.
In many places the streets have beer
torn up and are encountered by masses
of rocks, making them impossible

WAR LOOMS NEAR.
Conflict With Germany Expected by
All in England.


London, June 14.-The amount of
war talk one hears on every side in
London is perfectly amazing. The
topic practically monopolizes CONVERSE
tion in political and social circles, and
it seems to be generally admitted, with
a kind of fatalistic complacency, that
sooner or later-probably sooner-the
British and German nations are going
to fight it out.
People at large are taking note of
the growing seriousness of the situa-
tion, and many display acute nervous
ness. One hears members of the
American colony talk. half humorously,
perhaps, and yet with a certain serious
ness, of getting back home before the
Germans come. Harry G. Selfridge
said that personally he did not like the
outlook.
81 tried to insure my shop" said the
former Chicagoan, "against lombard
ment from the Thames, but the insur-
snce companies would not accept the
risk"
Germany, it is said, means to rule
the sea, just as it rules the European
mainland.

Look Out for Sore Shoulders.

The shoulders and neck of the horse
viii be tender when heavy spring work
is started. Then. too. the horses are
covered with a heavy coat OF hair,
which will cause them to perspire cas-
lily. This makes 1t very necessary to
keep close watch on the shoulders and
neck where the collar rubs.
The collar should be a perfect 1T;
one too large is more dangerous than
one a little small. The inside OF the
collar should be scraped each morning
before 1t is again put upon the horse
The harness should be oiled before
spring work is begun. SO that 1t will
be soft and pliable. It is good plan
to battle the shoulders with cold wa
ter every night after the harness is
removed. You will also find that It
will pay to remove the harness while
the horse is eating his dinner.-Ex.

JAP TROUBLE
INTERNATIONAL
Hawaiian Editor Complains TO MikadO
and viii Bring Suit.
Raid on Strikers Headquarters Has
Diplomatic SequeI-Three Addi-
tional Arrests Made-Tension Is
High in Honolulu and Police Sleep
On Arms at Headquarters.

Honolulu, June 15.-M. Negoro, one
of the editors of the Jill, made formal
complaint to the Japanese foreign Office
today that the territorial authorities
invaded his rights as Japanese sub
ject under the treaty between Japan
and the United States when High Sher-
if William Henry raided the Office of
the Jill and seized alleged incendiary
documents; and is preparing to bring
court proceedings against the territory
for $500, 900 damages.
The alleged violation of his rights as
a Japanese subject guaranteed under
the treaty between the United States
and Japan, he sets forth in his com
plant, consists in the search of his
office and the seizure of his private
papers by the territorial authorities
without due process of law. Terri
torial Sheriff William Henry admits
that the search was made by force of
arms, and without search warrants or
process of law, but claims that the pa
pers seized contained evidence of Grim
inal purpose. However he declares the
courts of the territory are open to
Negoro for redress if he has been dam
aged.
While but slight disturbance of any
kind has occurred so far, the city is
full of striking japanese, and the ten
sion is so great that orders were issued
this afternoon for the full force of po-
lice to sleep at the police station to-
night, ready for any emergency.
An incident of the day that threat
ems disturbance was the chasing of a
carrier of an extra" of the Japanese
newspaper Shinpo, announcing the ar
rest of the editors. The paper from
the start has been opposed to the strike
and among the papers seized in the
raid upon the office of the strike or
gans, were letters containing threats
against the life Of its editor.
Although the strikers have returned
to work on the Eva and Waialua plan
tations it is not certain that they have
abandoned the struggle. From the
papers seized by Territorial Sheriff
Henry it was seen that it was the orig
inal plans of the japanese to return t.
work at intervals to earn enough
money to maintain the strike and by
this method of working and agar
striking to wear out the planters by
the uncertainty and irregularity o.
plantation operations.

Arkansas seizes Capitol.

Little Rock, Ark, June 15.-Gov-
ernor Donaghey and two members of
the state commission today formally
took possession of the uncompleted
capitol building. after breaking through
a door which had been locked by the
contractors, Caldwell & Drake, whom
the legislature ordered discharged.
The building, which has cost nearly
81, 900, 900 already. and which engin-
GERS say is only about half completed,
has caused political contention for
years. The Legislators have been
charged in the courts with grating.

Now and then we hear of farmers
with an apple orchard who cannot see
that 1t Will pay them to take good
care Of 1t. says the Rural New York
er. In one case a farmer sold apples
enough from his orchard to buy him
ten good cows for his dairy, yet he
cannot see that 1t would pay him to
spray and prune the trees. There is
some scale in this orchard, and the
fruit is usually wormy. Taken in hand
now with oil and later with arsenic
for the Cooling worm this orchard
would give the easiest money on the
farm. We would like to shake such
men up and let them see the future.
The demand for good apples is sure to
Increase, while bearing trees are not
keeping pace with the demand. Young
trees are being planted. while many
orchards are dying through lack OF
care. Do not, under any circumstances,
neglect good apple trees. Stay by
them with all the care you can muster

II Is said that Pennsylvania farm
er does not average more than one ton
Of marketing to two horses, and he
must send one man with every two
horses. English and Scotch farmers
generally put two tons Of marketing
on a one-horse cart, and place two OF
those carts in charge Of one driver.
The driver ties one of these carts be-
hind the other and walks alongside Of
the first one. Thus we have a foreign
farmer doing with one man and two
horses the work an American farmer
takes four men and eight horses TO do.

routing was responsible for the loss Of
registered packages containing $780,

RIFLE SHIPMENT FOUND.
Mausers Packed as Pianos Destined
for South America.

Norfolk, Va, June 15.-Packed in
piano boxes and evidently ready for
shipment, a quantity of rifles and am
munition, believed to be destined for
Venezuelan revolutionists, was discov-
cred at Franklin today.
The rifles are said to be a part of a
consignment of Is, 900 Mauser weapons
shipped from New York to st. Louis
and back to Franklin, billed as pianos,
and packed to weather the trip to
South America. The filibuster suspect

believed that either could pass her

been issued from Washington to seize
the vessels in case either should lift
anchor. The Nanticoke is not built
for deep sea navigation, but the dis
patch could navigate far off shore and
the officers in charge of the situation
believe the plan of the filibusters was
to transport the arms to another
steamer at sea.

It might be said that grass is the
natural ration for the horse, but when
confined to a barn and also when
worked, the animal needs more
strengthening and nutritious food. To
feed properly there must be mixed
diet. The intention of the food is to
supply heat and muscle, but not an
oversupply of fat
The quantity of food given should be
based on the amount OF work the horse
has done-the more work the greater
the amount Of food that should be
given.
The foods that are generally fed are
hay, grass, corn. oats, barley, rye,
bran, carrots, turnips and apples. OF
the grains oats is best, with corn sec
ond, but both are improved IL fed in 2

of the price. oats are not generally
used, and in such cases care must be
taken that the hay given Is rather
rich in protein.
Corn and timothy hay are Of heat

FILIPINO TROOPS MuTINY.
Seize Post and Attack Americans and
Loyal Natives.


Manila, June IA portion of the
Second company of native constabula-
ry, stationed at Davao, in the island of
Mindanao. in the Southern part of the
Philippine archipelago, mutinied on the
night of June 6 and attacked the COM
pany quarters, which they captured
after wounding one of the native off
GERS. After fight on the following
day, which lasted three hours, and in
which an American named Libbey was
killed and four others wounded, the
mutineers took to the mountains upon
the approach of a company of constab
ulary stationed at Mapi, which hurried
to the relief of the besieged Americans
and loyal natives.
With tn receipt of the news of the
mutiny today came also word that de-
tachments of the Twenty third infantry
have reached Davao and quickly sue
ceeded in restoring order. Several col
umns of troops were Immediately dis
patched in pursuit of the mutineers.
1t is believed here that the mutiny
was of purely local character, resulting
from differences over food supplies or
the care of the women of the families
Of the constabulary. 1t is thought to
be confined to members of one company
at Davao, aand the fact that neigh
boring company, also composed of ma
tives, hurried to the relief of the be-
sieged governor and the few Americans
at the place is cited as proof Of this.
Acting Governor General Forbes is
expected in Manila tonight, when q
conference with General Duval, com
handing the division of the Philippines,
will be held. 1t is expected that the
determination will be reached at this
conference vigorously to pursue the
mutineers until the last one is captured
