New York. October Z: Adolph
Rothbarth, the hop importer, whose
offices were at No. &c Whitehall street

- George Fong, a member of an al
legged revolutionary organization was
arrested at San Francisco last Fri
day by secret service operatives just
as he was about to shoot Prince Tsai
Sum, uncle of the emperor of China.
The prince was boarding the steamer
Chiyo to sail for home. Fong confess
ed that he intended to kill the prince.
A loaded revolver was found in the
pocket. toward which Fong's hand
was moving when the detectives seiZ-
ed him. The detectives had received
information that Fong would bear
watching and they had him under OBJ
servation all the time the prince and
his retinue were boarding the vessel
The princes life was declared forfeit
ed to the revolutionary cause, accord
ing to Fong, at a meeting of his organ
iZation held while Tsai SUM was in
San Francisco two weeks ago, at the
beginning of his tour of the United
States. Il wanted to be the George
Washington of China" said Fong. Il
wanted TO be the saviour of my coun-
try and l and my associates thought
this would be a good way to begin. We
talked it all over while the prince was
here before and decided that it was
time something definite was done. l
would have killed him if | had not
been afraid To shoot for fear of hit
ting some white person"
Three new fertilizer plants will be
constructed by the American Chemical
company during the next year in the
very heart of the territory covered by
the Virginia Carolina Chemical COM
pany, says a New York dispatch. One
will be begun as soon as possible, the
company having purchased 40 acres
of land. and should be completed ear
" in 1911, as the contracts have al
ready been let The second will be at
Wilmington, y. c.. and the third at
Columbia. s G. Work on the latter
two will be begun as soon as possible,
and the entire three should be in
operation bv next summer. Altogeth-
or the expenditures for new conStruc-
ton will total something like $1,000
600. and as the American Agricultural
Chemical has working capital of ap-
proXimately $lS.5O0.G00 as shown by
its recent annual statement, it is not
likely that the construction work con-
tcmplated will call for new financing.
While the American has always been
y factor in the southern field. the
move of building three new plants 81
multancouSly cannot be taken other
wise than an aggressive invasion OF
the preserves of the Vifginia-C Carolina
Chemical company. An interest close
ly connected with the Nirginia-Caro-
lina company stated that the southern
field is large enough for both, but
generally in fertilizer circles, the out
look for a trade war is considered eX-
Cellent.
