and other unsavory articles, they Wis
tied the aforesaid merchant, ell

place of business and his person witt
their collection.

Italy has struck the first blow in the

hours after a declaration of hostili-
ties. Italian warships under the COM

houses and disabling Turkish tor

place at Tripoli at nine o'clock this
morning, but Italians reported the
landing in West Tripoli. A large ltal

poll harbor. Turkey asked the Uni
ted States to take charge of her sub
jects in Italy. Germany was asked tc
do the same for Italians in Turkey.

Accident Mars Pleasure
at lMaderos Coming

Guadalajara, Mexico, Sept. 30,-A
terrific explosion of rockets and bombs
in a crowded church here resulting
in four dead and fifteen seriously in
jured, cast shadow of gloom over the
merry making attending the coming
of Madero today.
Fifty rockets and 600 bombs had
been stored in the Chapel of Jesus for
use in celebrating the arrival of the
sacred image of the Virgin of Zapo-
pan, which is believed to have power
to effect miraculous cures on the
faithful.
The explosives, piled at the foot OF
the stairs leading to the tower, is
thought to have ben ignited by the
careless dropping of lighted cigar
ette. Those nearest were hurled in
all directions by the force of the de
donations. The building was quickly
filled with suffocating smoke which

The Turkish representatives in
Italy were handed their transports.
The Turkish commander at Tripoli
was asked to surrender the town but
declined and the Italian forces i'm
mediately occupied Tripoli and Ben
ghazi.
Apparently the Turks offered no re-
sistance but this is only an assump-
ton, as Immediately on landing the
Italians evidently seized the tele-
graph lines. From the hour of their
landing no message of any kind had
been received from Tripoli and dis
patches sent to that place remained
unanswered.
1t should be noted however, that
Italy's occupation of Tripoli makes no
mention Of resistance and a mere pro
test by the governor would be in line
with Turkeys announced policy.
The Turkish cabinet, which had
been for some time insecure, resigned
as soon as war was declared and a
new ministry was formed under Said
Pasha but retaining the former able

BOIL WEEVIL DIDN'T
HURT this Man
vazoo Farmer Tries Diversified Crops
and is Living on the Fat Of
the Land.

Jackson, Miss. Sept 30.-With a
majority of the farmers of Mississip-
pi demoralized by the invasion of the
boil weevil, E. w. Brister planter
living In the Southeastern portion of
Yazoo county, is happy after having
gathered one of the most profitable
crops ever raised on his extensive
plantation. The weevil made their
appearance in his neighborhood two
years ago and he began preparing for
them by planting something of every
thing that farm can produce, and in
addition began breeding cattle and
hogs.
The result of this preparation is
that Brister will make this year so
per cent of the cotton he made last
year. But he has thousands of bush
els of corn, tons of the finest hay,
hundreds of bushels of peas, potatoes
and beans, and in addition 147 as fine
hogs as were ever raised in Mississip-
pi. He has enough food for man and
beast for two years. He has installed
a steam thrasher and grist mill on
his plantation, has sold two wagon
loads of fine oats at Yazoo City, and
with a traction engine he is now pre-
pairing his lands for fall and winter
crops of oats.
So far from being discouraged by
the invasion of the pest Brister has
already arranged to keep every bit ot
labor on his farms another year, ant
expects to make more money fol
them and for himself under the diver
sification plan than he has ever made
before. A visit to his farm is inter
esting and instructive. He says h
knows of no method by which the Dol
weevil can be exterminated, but tha

NAVY YARD BOOKKEEPING.
Faulty System Caused Great Discrep
aney In Washington Establishment.

An overhauling of the bookkeeping
system of the Washington navy yard
by direction of Secretary of the
Navy Meyer has reduced the discrep-
ancy of more than $4,000, 900 be-
tween the amount of material on hand
and the amount carried on the books
of the yard
The apparent shortage was discov-
cred as the result of the first inventory
of material which has been taken in
twenty-five years. Mr.. Meyer direct
ed that every effort be made to ac-
count for the discrepancy.
One error has already been found.
This was the failure of the yard ac-
countants to write off their books the
value of the batteries of the new bat
tleships Florida and Utah, which were
delivered recently and which represent
an approximate value of $500, 900.
Other less important amounts
which have been traced have reduced
the discrepancy to about 1925, 600 and
a greater reduction is expected.

NAVAL REVIEW A TEST.
Secretary Meyer Wants More Blue
Jackets And Thinks This Win
Prove II.

The great naval demonstration at
New York on November /, when IO2
vessels will be assembled for review
and inspection by Secretary of the
Navy Meyer, has caused much specu-
lation among officers as to its real pur-
pose. Mr.. Meyer said yesterday that
the mobilization had been ordered to
test the state Of preparedness of the
navy.
The vessels now in reserve which
will be placed in full commission for
the event will be differed and manned
from the battleships of the Atlantic
fleet. Mr.. Meyer believes that the
navy is in need of additional blue
jackets and will ask Congress next
winter to authorize an increase of sew
eral thousand. At present there are
about $4,000 enlisted men in the
navy. He probably will ask that
this number be increased to so, 600.
In the event of a sudden war it
would be necessary for the navy to
place in commission all the vessels in
reserve at the navy yards and to do
so bluejackets and officers would have
to be taken from the battleships. 1t
Fs-Mr. Meyers purpose to learn to
what extent this method of providing
officers and men can be carried. 1t
is probable that the experience
gained from the mobilization will be
discussed bv Mr.. Meyer in mis- forth
coming annual report.
