while the salary of the consul general
at Singapore is $4,000.
Mr.. Dubois has made a fine record
in the government service. He was
appointed United States commercial

1877, and three years later was pro-

Good Fruit Year In Kansas.

Walter Wellhouse, secretary of the
Kansas State Horticultural society,
says there will be record breaking
fruit crop in Kansas this year unless
there is more damaging weather. He
admits that the peach crop was dam
aged by the cold weather in February,
but he says that apples and other
fruits are in more promising condi
ton now than they have been at this
season in years. A year ago the El-
berta peaches were in bloom two
weeks before this. They are not yet
In bloom this spring. "The cold nights
have held the fruit back said Mr..
Wellhouse. "The forwardness Of the
fruit was what injured it a year ago
and two years ago. 1t would take
very cold weather to kill the apples
and apricots now, but of course there
has been such weather in Kansas at
this season. There will be a fair peach
crop In Kansas" Hr. Wellhouse has
spent ten days investigating condi-
tions in various parts of the state. He
also has been in correspondence with
the leading fruit growers of the state.

Apparently South America, which is
rich in material possibilities If not in
ready cash, finds little difficulty In get
ting capital with which to prosecute
promising enterprises. The latest
proof Of this Is the arrangement with
foreign financiers for constructing
line that will be an important link in
the Longitudinal railroad, which when
completed will traverse practically the
entire length of Chile, distance Of
5000 miles or more. The Longitudinal
read will be sort of backbone with
numerous side connections and must
have an important effect in developing
the interior Of the country. Moreover,
and of still more consequence in an in
ternational sense, the line will be
great addition to the three Americas"

southern Kansas has just been brought
to the attention of the authorities in
Wichita. Persons are going through
the country marking trees for San
Jose scale and charging the people 25
cents for spraying under threat that
they will be cut down. Usually one

is sent out under instructions from
state authorities and the trees must
be sprayed or cut down. There are
several persons working the scheme
and they are said to be cleaning up

bill is now on the senate calendar
and, by an agreement reached on the
floor. consideration of the measure
will begin OH Thursday. The bill was
laid before the finance committee
with the Democratic members pres
ent, at 10 o'clock this morning and
after thirty minutes parleying vote
was taken on the question of making
report to the senate all day. all Re-
publicans voting in the affirmative
and the emocrats in the negative.
Soon after the senate met Senator
Aldrich presented the amended bill.
Senator Daniel, on behalf of the mi
nority, protested that the Democrats
had not been given an opportunity to
examine the measure, and Mr.. Aid
rich replied that they could make
their examination by Thursday. He
stated also that, as the majority Is
responsible for the bill, its course in
Fastening the report was warranted.
AS reported, the bill does not con-
tain all Of the changes In rates which
the finance committee proposes to
make. Although several important
amendments, such as the restoration
of the Dingley rates on women's
gloves and hosiery, the placing of
works of art on the free list and the
assessment of a duty on iron ore have
been made, the revenue possibilities
of the bill are little changed. The in
creases are provided mainly in the
schedule covering Injuries, the entire
liquor schedule being materially ad
vanced. The advance on wines and
spirits is expected to bring in about
$30,0OO,0OO additional revenue.
In discussing the revenue feature
of the bill, Senator Aldrich insisted
that as it will be amended by the SEN
ate the Payne bill will provide suffi-
cient funds to meet the expenses of
the government without resorting to
any but import taxes.
No maximum or minimum provis-
ions or administrative features which
include additional forms of taxation,
were reported in the bill. These sec

sections.
