London Company to Explore Wrecl
Off African Coast.


Off African Coast
London.-Of the many schemes to
recover hidden treasure from the sea
one of the latest is that just formed
for the purpose of salving some of, the
numerous wrecks that lie round the
South African coast. A company has
been promoted with the idea not of
engaging itself in mere treasure
hunts" but of recovering the con-
tents of wrecks, already located, and
in many instances, surveyed.
A start will be made soon with
suitable steamer fully equipped with
all the necessary diving and salvage
apparatus The expedition will de-
part under the superintendent of a
well-known salvage expert, Captain
| Charles Gardiner, who will begin by
directing operations at a spot where
British transport went down with
metals and specie valued at over $751;
900, 900.
Captain Gardiner selected a list OF
| 1877 of the more accessible wrecks aft
er searching the archives of Cape Col
ony, and has succeeded in locating
80 of them.

1t is understood that the German
kaiser will visit them and that the two
monarchs will discuss the program OF
the next Hague peace conference, par

The czar is believed, in principle
inclined to favor the idea of limiting
warlike preparations. but 1t is doubt
full if at this time any satisfactory
agreement between the powers car
be reached. He is not averse, how
ever, to have the matter discussed full

CONCERT TONIGHT IF
WEATHER PERMITS

Weather permitting there will be
a free open air concert by the United
Orchestra in the fair pavilion this

formance. There has been one good
concert evening and only one, since
the series were inaugurated.
AS usual the program has been
arranged win much care by Director
Carruth and if the weather will per-
NIT the people who are at leisure this
evening will be afforded another mu-
sical treat.
The following is the program as ar
ranged:

KILLING THE DOGS
OF OLD STAMBOUI

Constantinople.-Th Constantine
pie authorities have at last commenc-
ed operations against the dogs of the
city, which for centuries have formed
a permanent part of the population.
The new regime decided that they
were a nuisance and must be got rid
of. Their number is estimated at
about 10000.
In more than half the quarters OF
Pera and Stamboul detachments OF
policemen and sweepers, armed with
lassos and huge wooden tongs, and
followed by an imposing array OF
dust carts are raiding the unsuspect-
ing and familiar Beasts.
Some are lassoed, others gripped
with their tongs and hoisted, for all
their squeals and yelpings, into the
dust carts.
a few are spared at the intercession
of soft-hearted inhabitants, who
however, were compelled to go bail
for their proteges. and to swear to
provide them with collars bearing
their names and addresses, and to
pay the dog tax when the municipal
ity should so decree.
ConstantinOple dogs have appor-
toned the city into districts. Any
animal which ventures out of it's own
area is promptly attacked and driven
back by the denizens of the domain
on which it has encroached.
Though the animals live on gar
bage such as few American dogs
would touch. it is fact that hydro
phobia is almost unknown among
them.

ALLEGED COMPANY SOLD
SHORT WEIGHT BUTTER

New York. June 22.-Loton Horton,
president. and Benjamin S. Halsey,
vice president of a big milk and
creamery company which controls a
large part of the trade in New York
and adjacent cities will be given a
hearing today on the charge of SELL
ing short weight packages of butter.
The accused men pleaded not guilty.
The men were arrested on warrants
issued on application of Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Elder, who presented
an affidavit sworn to by Lee ]. Mills,
a feigher in the bureau of weights
and measures. Mills alleges that on
May 16 he purchased package of
butter supposed to contain two
pounds from the company and dis
covered it was three and one-half
ounces below weight.
Horton, Halsey and the corporation
itself. which is one of the largest dis
tributors of dairy products in the
city, are accused of "wilfully and un-
lawfully" defrauding him and of mis-
representing the quantity of butter
which he purchased. Mills says the
butter was in a pasteboard container
that weighed three and one hall
ounces, and that the cover of the box
was its heaviest part. The covel
weighed two ounces. he says.
In a preliminary hearing held last
month the dairy men said the butter
was put in the boxes without beine
weighed. Halsey said the company
was not guilty of fraud, as the boxes
contained no statement Of the guam
tity of the butter they were supposed
to CONAN.
Under the law the defendants, oil
conviction, may be sentenced to one
year in prison and fined $500 70
