 According to Associated Press iise patches, the actual depredatiops Of the boil weeviI have reached such a stage in MissIssipppi and Louisiana that plantersand financial interests in those states are refusing assiEtanc9 to customers and tenants unless they adopt measures looking to minimix. ing of the pest These consist In burning all of the stalks of the old crop,s and a complete narrowing and blowing over the fields in which the insect has been known to conduct it's campaigns Such measures will not en- tireiy eradicate the weevil. bat they will lessen the number and give the ulanter a better chance with the open ing of the following season. With that end in view. farmers in Misste- sipi and Lou siRna have pledged thaln- selves to wholesale destruction by fire of the stalks as well as to the other course. At the present progress. the boll weevil will menace the fields of Georgia in from four to five years unless unforeseen developments bring fl here earlier. Sooner or later. there- fore thefarnaers of Georgia will have to face the problem that fs now af. dieting the!pr brethren in Texas Miss sissippi and Louisiana.

London, Oct. ls.--Sir Thomas Upton. who will sail for New York on the steamer Cedric. talked rather more en- couraging today of hts prospect of se- curing another race for the America's cup.
 "I am going to New York;" he said, "in the hope of arranging another race. I realize that there are many dinicul- ties in the way. but I am convinced they can be overcome because know the New York Yacht Club is composed of ed sportsmen. who, rather than have the race die natural death VIII. T feel sure, do their utmost to meet me. Neither country wishes the race to become q dead letter.
 sYachting enthusiasts here are anx- ious to see whether an American de- si Rnera are still superior. believe in the New York Yacht Club is as anx- ious as any British yacht club for am other contest, and the members will now allow technicalities to stand in the way.
 T have made three attempts to life the cup always been licked fairly and souareiy and am anxious to make an- ather try, I look forward to having a lighting chance with a fourth sham rock under conditions which will be fa- vorable to all. IT both boats start on even terms at Sandy Hook. 1t is bound to he one of the best races the world has ever seen. For the sake of Inter national sport. say. win or lose. let's have a race"

 Estimates of the attendance of the baseball games of the National Am- erican leagues for the season of 1909 give total of 7.37s.10s. For the Ann edican League the figures are fO3, ,O0O greater than for the National The official attendance count Tor 1903 was 7,069,122. In the light Of these top- notch statistics the national game is seen to be doing much more than it's own. To measure the popular interest in the sport one must consider the support given to more than thirty mi- nor professional leagues as we'll as to college teams. high school teams. athletic club teams and other anna teurs in unreckoned numbers Tn the summer admost literally the whole country plays baseball. Among the cities of the big leagues New York. Pttsburg. Chicago anl Detroit have found their attendance at times sharp ly limited by ground space. Despite the conversion of the Polo Grounds thousands Of would-be spectators were aurned away on red-letter days Of the season just closed. The vast Forbes Field at Pittsburg has proved unequal to the demand for places at games of the worlds championship series So long as baseball remains the honest. active and stirring sport that 1t is. ft is sure of a mounting prosperity. The gratifying evidence Of many seas on's past points to a continuance of that integrity which leads It's conspic- uous charms.

 The expedition which left the Pyra. mids of GhaIzeh for the North Central Sahara has returnel to Cairo. without misadventure. after an absence of for ty-nine days. The expedition. headed by Dow Covington, an American arch- aealogist. set out in search of "a city of burnished copper" The existence of such a city had been more or less ob- scurely rumored. but has now been proved to be mythical. The expedition asserts. however. that there undoubt- edly were certain structures. accord ing to coroborative testimony of the Senussi, westward of the Siwa Oasis. They were unable to make a search for these structures. as they hal given the Egyptian government a signed promise not to proceed westward of Siwa, which is sixteen days camel rids west of Cairo. q.
 They arrived at an unrnapped oasis. Tobogba Qatitude 2e.5, longitude 2s:40. approximate), three days east of Siwa. where they found large expanses of salt marshes
 The temples of the Kings Treas ure" and Jupiter Ammon were visited at Siwa, and 1t was ascertained that no serious excavations had been ef- fected there. The expedition is Of the opinion that systematic excavation of both these temples would provo of great interest.
 The attitude of the Senassi was at all times of a most friendly character; the Senussi Momour {headsman) of Cara actually accompanying them to Tobogba, and preceding them them in- to Siwa
 The expedition will make a fresh at- tempt to investigate the "burnished copper story in the near future.

Mayor 1sseus received . letter from Mayor-elect oanton 0unter and Alder man North, from Boston, yesterday, in- forming him that an agreement had been practically completed with Hunt q gushmanh. bond buyers. of that city. to finance the work of improving Law
 Ths firm was awarded the recently 'annuiied $50. 900 bond Issue from which funds were to be derived for the Law renee Street work. The annullinR of this Issue made necessary the eompls- tion of other arrangements and 1t was at first proposed to secure the money from . local bank but the plan under which the temporary loan was to De secured from the local bank did not meet with the approval of the Mayor ana other proposais were sought.
 It was at this staGe of the matter that Mfr. Cushman of the Boston firm arrived in Montgomery and learned of the unfavorable opinion of the attor- neys regarding the bonds. He told the Mayor and other city ofncials that it was not at all improbable his firm might take the bonds or at least nnancc the Lawrsnce street work until sec. ond bond issue should Dc authorised.
 The Mayor in discpssing the matter said that the arrangements were not completed and probably should not for . day or 60, and then . meeting of the Council would perhaps be held to pnss resolutions providing for the temporary loan. \
 Mir. Teasue said that he felt sure the commencement of work on Law renee Street would not ke delayed more than eight or nine days.
 Mayor Teague vetoed the Council res- olutions awarding the contracts for the paving work on Lawrence and other Streets to be paved under the s6o,0oo bond issue yesterday This action on the part of the Mayor was made nec- essary by recently enacted law re- quiring the money for such improve ments to be In hand before contracts may ba awarded.

MAY ADVOCATE THRONE
KING GEORGE or GREECE SHOWS
 WILLINGNESS.
Princes of the Realm are wtffing to Quit Their OA3ces and Father
 Win Not Hamper
 Statesmen.

Athens, Oct. 16.--premiar Mavromi- chalis. having announced the desire of the royal princes to have the bills re- lating to their services in the army adopted. the Chamber of Deputies to- day without discussion voted the bills abolishing the right of the Grown Prince to hold the position of comnan- der-in-chief and of the other priaces to hold the military commands.
 This Is another step in the military evolution which may yet involve the abdication Of King George. =
 It is understood that his majesty feels acutely his abandonment by the great powers in the matter of Greece's rs- piration for the annexation of Crete ard has seriously considered the possibil- fly of being compelled to abdicata as an outcome of the disappointment of his people.
 On Thursday night the temper of the deputies appeared to be In favor os re- jecting the military bills. but the mem. hers of the tfficers league warned the Chamber of the dangers which result from such rejection.
 Today King George. who has bess living in retirement at Tatof since ths miittasys fne~enfetsft1 1offs being informed of the possibility of another revelation. ary movement. drove in an automobile to the capital and instructed his three sons. formally Co resign. their army commissions. This done. King George summoned Premier Mavrcmichaiis to the palace and informed him that hs had persuaded his sons to resign be. cause he was reluctant to permit the Chamber of D q uties to suffer at the hands of the military revoiutionists for it's loyalty to the crown.
 The Chamber of Deputies met at 5 o'clock this afternoon. A painful silence followed the Premier's an- nouncement of the decision of the Princes and some thirty ioyalist mem- bers arose and quilted the house. The Chamber then voted the bills
 King Georges unexpected act of self r~nunciation and the fact that the Chamber Is now completely dominated hy the officers league. Is regarded in many quarters as being incompatible with his rnajesty's dignity and his re- tention of the throne.
 Crown Prince Constantine held the position of commander in the Grecian army: Prince Andrew was a captain in the Grecian cavalry. and Prince Christopher sub-lieutenant in the in- fantry.
