Mesopotam

It has always seemed most ex-
traordinary thing that the land be-
tween the Tigris and the Euphrates,
which was the seat of the greatest
empires of the ancient world, and
which shared with the Nile Valley the
distinction of being the richest
torn-growing land, should have for so
many centuries laid desolate and
waste. But the natural richness or
the soil is not the only factor in the
fertility Of the land. Even more
than Egypt it was dependent on care
full and scientific irrigation, and in
the days Of the great sovereigns OF
Babylon the canals were most strict
ly and jealously guarded. But when
the ancient empires finally fell the
canals and irrigation works were neg
lected and left uncared for, with
the result that in "a few years time
the sand of the desert and the weeds
choked up the waterways, and the
land relapsed into desolation. But the
new ministry at Constantinople mas
awakened to the Importance OF the
matter, and Sir William Willcocks,
the famous engineer, who wrote a
most valuable monograph on the
BaIbylonian canals a few years ago,
has been intrusted with the WORK.
The total cost Of the work on the
Euphrates is estimated at a quarter
of a million Of Turkish pounds, OF
which 100000 will be spent in the
first year. For such an absurdly
small sum can the desert be once
more turned into fertile 1and.-Lon-

experienced because of the storm.
They also say that high prices will

A BIC SENSATION
over IN Liverpool
Cotton Dealers Lose Millions
ON Forgeries and Failure
failure OF KNIGHT YANCEY & co.
Cotton Men of Atlanta Believe il
Liverpool Has Been Deceived it
May Cause Shut Down of
Mills There.

Liverpool.-There was sensation
In Cottonopolis last week. 1t was born
widely of circulated statements that
!, forged bills of lading for cotton pur-
| porting to have been shipped from
the United States had been uncover
ed. The alleged fraudulent methods,
it was said, involved cotton valued
at $2,500,OO0 and in addition to
thirty Liverpool concerns, it was
stated that several continental cot
ton houses were heavy losers.
At Decatur, Ala, the United States
District Court has appointed receiv-
ers for the bankrupt firm of Knight,
Yancey and Co. cotton dealers. Their
bond was fixed at 100000. The liza
bilities Of the firm will aggregate
+, $5,777,90S. The assets are estimat-
ed at about 100000. Creditors of
the company, it is said, hold secu-
rites to the amount of $411,157.
All Southern banks are said to be
amply protected.
Sensational reports of the failure
of the Alabama cotton firm of
! Knight, Yancey and Co., which heavi-
ly hit Liverpool cotton houses added
to the excitement.
A cable dispatch from New Orleans
which fell like an explosion of dyna-
mite said that knight, Yancey and
Co., was short in Liverpool $4,000
bales, in Havre 5000 bales, and in
Genoa 5000. This would make
total of more than $3.000,O00.
In Liverpool twenty-six firms are
believed to have been affected by the
failure of the Alabama firm. A ma
jority of them, however, have large
amounts of capital and will be able
to tide over the situation, but a few
Of them will be seriously hit.
The heads of some of the houses
in Liverpool will proceed to the
United States by the first steamer
available In order to investigate the
situation. No loss as a result of the
failure is likely to fall upon the Eng
lish bankers who are amply secured.
While the cotton market was
deeply stirred by the situation its eff
feet upon prices was not great.
Agents for dozen foreign cotton
firms have arrived in Atlanta, Ca,
determined to protect their firms
fro mloss in the failure of knight,
Yancey Co.
While they are still in doubt as
to the actual loss sustained by their
firms, they all agree that under the
present system of doing business in
cotton great losses are possible and
even easy.

Both Sides Predict an Ultimate
Victory

Kansas City.-The second week of
the Hyde murder trial closed with
both defense and prosecution pre-
dieting ultimate victory. Two hund-
red thousand dollars is the amount
it is estimated the county will spend
before the trial is completed.
Chief interest now lies In the tes-
timony Of Mrs Logan swope and. her
daughter, Mrs Hyde, both of whom
will testify. Although the state was
denied the priYilege Of going into the
private life Of DR.. Hyde in it's open
ing statement the state hopes to
throw some light on this phase of the
case later.
Mrs. Swope is depended upon to
grill the physician from the witness
stand.

PAPERS ATTACK ROOSEVELT.
Ultra Clerical Publications Call Him
Charlatan.

Paris.-The only discordant note
heard from the Paris press in COM
ment upon Mr.. Roosevelt's visit
comes from the utra-clerical papers
like Gil Bias, which openly derides
the American guest as charlatan.
Frederick Mason, who is now one Of
Mr.. Roosevelt's colleagues In the
French institute and Is noted for his
ultra-C Catholic and royalist views,
writing under the heading Hail, Cae-
sar." publishes remarkable article
in which he paints Mr.. Roosevelt as
a demagogue who, with all the skill
of a Barnum, Is arranging for re-
appearance upon the American stage,
The writer asks whether it is pos
sible that the former President in
tends to plunge again into the light
which has already provoked crash
of credit bankruptcy in the United
States and in which anarchy, under,
cover of demagogy, may precipitate
bloodshed, pillage and arson in in
dustrial centers.

Twenty Blocks Reduced to Ashes
Many Homes Dynamited. Loss
$2,OOO,OOO.

Lake Charles, La.-Fanned by q
high wind, a fire which broke out
here Saturday afternoon swept over
twenty or more blocks of the city,
destroying several hundred buildings
and resulting in property loss ,es-
timated at about $4,000, 900. Two
thousand persons have been rendered
Aonneless.
REQUESTS for aid we're wired to
Beaumont and Orange, Tex. and
Jennings, Ia, all of which were
within radius of fifty miles of Lake
Charles. The Southern Pacific rail-
way offered special trains to bring
the volunteers from neighboring
cities.
Many houses in the path of the
flames were dynamited, but showers
Of sparks were swept beyond the
gaps thus made, igniting the build
ings on the farther side. Within a
short time the wind had driven the
fire over a space of two miles in
length, leaving mass of ruins in it's
wake.
While many of the buildings de-
stroyed were merely frame cottages
scores Of handsome structures also
fell prey to the flames. The city
hall, the handsome Calcasieu parish
court house, the Claire Hotel,
churches, stores and warehouses
were reduced to bare black walls and
smouldering heaps of ashes within
two hours after the fire started.
Starting in the opera house in
Rival street near Pupo, the fire
spread to adjoining buildings,
burning out the northern portion of
the city's business section and thea
sweeping into the residential district
