the extreme gravity of tile situation.
An official OF the state Department
said this morning that while no definite
conference had been scheduled between
the President and the Secretary Of
State. one undoubtedly would take place
without delay, rs the matter was of SO
serious a nature as 10 demand prompt

Officials, naturally, are reticent con

a conference held last night among

NEWS FORWARDED

Estate in New York Receives
Cable Information From
South America.

NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-
The Astor estate received
news Just before ? o'clock to-
day that the Nourmahal had
been seen in San Juan harbor,
Porto Rico, last Sunday.
The news came from a
Dutch vessel now off the
South American coast by
cable.
This information is not re-
garded as final and the friends
of Mr.. Astor will not be salts
fed until some direct word
has been received from him.
REASON FOR HOPE.
However, the lack Of communi-
cation east of Hapf since the storm
leads friends of Colonel Astor to
hope that the report from South
America is true. Not until last
night had the wireless companies
been able to get into comnunica-
ton with Porto Rico and with the
steamship Ponce in Mayaguaz har-
Dor.
The Washington times., 1909-11-21
PoNCE'S REPORT.

The Ponce reported that nothing
had been seen or heard of the
Nourmahal. The fact that nothing
h been heard from San Juan for
a week now is the only hope the

FLEE CIRCUS 10 THE LATEST.
Little Insects Trained to Do Wonder
full Things on the Michigan State
Fair Midway.

When Frank Spellman, of Cincin-
natl, who has charge OF the Michigan
State Fair Midway, told Assistant
General Manager Slocum that flea
circus was 10 be feature of the Mid
way this year, Mr.. Slocum looked Mr..
Spellm6n over and asked IL the latter
was undergoing mental deterioration.
Its a fact" declared Spellman,
land | will show you"
And, sure enough, Spellman made
good and has proven TO every official
OF the Michigan State Fair that flea
can be trained and will perform at the
coming state exposition. These heas
are not the miserable creatures that
cause troublesome Jumps while one is
enjoying the evening air in the north
end. They are known as the German
flea, and grow to be quite large. They
are intelligent and very apt pupils in
the hands of a skillful trainer.
Prof. John Ruhl, who is master of
the flea circus in Mr.. Spellman's Mid
way, has something like 500 perform
ers, and their diversified acts are SIM
ply marvellous. Acrobats, gymnasts,
dancers, tight-rope performers, dra-
matte actors, soldiers, artisans, build
ers, etc, are members of Prof. Ruhls
aggregation. One of the most pleas
ing features is the grand ball given
by Mr.. and Mrs. Astorbit Flea, to
which are invited one hundred OF the
upper crust in the flea real society.
The costumes worn are of extreme ele-
gance, and the dances beautifully exc
cuted, whether a square dance OF the
olden times or the modern waltz or
two-step The gentlemen fleas are
gallant. while the ladies are graceful,
coquettish and not few are veri-
table firts. The acrobats and Jug
glers are expert in their work, holding
the spectators spellbound In amaze
ment as the little performers promptly
respond TO their masters word of COM
m2nd.
Prof. Ruhl has two feas that were
trained many years ago by his great
grandfather about the time when Ma
poleon crossed the Alps. Five other
fleas were trained by his grandfather
in the days when King Wllnam was
only schoolboy. and with some Of
his companions visited the exhibition
of trained feas presented in those
days by Prof. Carl Ruhl, the elder

SCULPTOR TO WORK BUTTER.
Carlo RomanelIi Will Carve Out a
Farmhouse With Yards, Cattle and
Barns for Peter Smith & Sons, De-

The famous sculptor, Carlo Roman
ELI, has been secured to do more Of
his famous butter sculpture at the
Michigan State fair, which opens at
Detroit on September and con-
tinues until September 10. Peter
Smith & Sons, the Detroit erocers,
have signed contract whereby they
will spend $1,000 for the reproduc.
ton by Mr.. Romanelli Of a miniature
farmhouse with yards, barns and cat
tie
Peter Smith & Sons have also con-
tracted with we'll known butter
manufacturer for 1000 pounds of that
product. Specifications call for the
best butter that can be made. No
salt will be used and after the de-
sign is completed ii will be placed
in refrigeration un,!l the opening day
OF the fair.
MIR. Romanelli starts for Europe in
a short time and it is necessary for
him 10 begin the work as soon as
the butter is made. IL will take some
time and is said 10 be a difficult
piece of work. The butter has TO be
kept at certain temperature and a
change Is liable TO ruin everything
the sculptor produces.
After the fair is over this 1000
pounds Of butter will be sold for
grease. Peter Smith & Sons are
also arranging for other beautiful
features in their fair exhibit

Origin Of Sounding Taps"

LIVESTOCK SHOW TO BE GREAT.
Superintendent Tyler Of the Michigan
State Fair Declares Il Will Be the
Greatest Display Ever Held.

c. A. Tyler, superintendent Of cat
tie at the Michigan State Fair, is
planning something new in the way
of stock parades for Wednesday,
Sept s. While Mr.. Tyler has always
eXcelled in this feature, he again has
something new planned, but refuses
to give even a hint as to what it is.
The usual livestock parade will be
put on at 1890 o'clock Wednesday,
Sept s. Then as a grand conclusion
will follow the big feature which Mr..
Tyler declares no one shall know UNI
til the last minute. He says ii is a
hummer and will excel anything of
the kind ever attempted by a state
fair. Mr.. Tyler answers all questions
by saying:
Just wait and will give you some
thing 10 talk about after this parade
and exhibition is over
IL want you TO understand" con-
tinued Mr.. Tyler in talking state fair
exhibits, that this exhibition is aot
simply limited to Michigan farmers.
1t is open to the entire world and
anyone can come In here and com.
pete for the prizes. We will have
fully as many cattle exhibitors from
Ohio and surrounding states as there
will be from Michigan. Unusual IA
ctlties are at hand this year for dis
tant exhibitors te compete. The cat
tie display opens Tuesday, Sept. q.
and permission has been given ex-
hibitors to reach the grounds as late
as Monday, providing they are in
readiness to show their stock prompt
ly when the display Is open TO the
public on Tuesday morning. This is
a privilege not granted heretofore by
the Michigan State Fair oficials. 1t
simply means that scores OF cattle
men from Ohio and other surround
ing states are going TO show at this
fair.
Il have personally visited many
parts of the state In the interest OF
the fair | never saw such fine cat
tie. They are a marvel even TO me.
The fine condition Is all due to the
excellent grass yield this summer.
Heavy crops have also made the
farmers prosperous and given them
ample resources for attending the
fair. II will be the greatest display
of farm products ever held In this
state"

Much Due to Appearance.

The supremacy OF the Greeks as a
nation was attributable to their COM
handing physique. Aeschylus had a
body which was the pride of his coun-
trymen, and his prowess gave such
confidence at the battle of Salamis
that there never was any doubt of he

many other great commanders SO in
spired their men that all fear took
wings and victory became assured
