AMERICA ARRANGES
LIBERALS LOAN
Will Rehabilitate Finances
of Little Republic.

After several months Of negotiations
with the republic of Liberia, whose ship
of state has been pounding on the finan-
ciaI rocks for some time, and with a
number of European powers. the Amer
ican government has finally concluded a
programme looking to the rehabilitation
of the finances of that country through
American supervision Of the customs
service The plan is an outgrowth Of the
visit of an American commission to L.
IBERIA on the cruisers Chester and Des
Moines some two years ago. DR.. Roland
P. Faulkner was directed to work out
the programme of putting Liberia on a
sound financial basis.
The terms of contract for the loan Of
s, $780, 900 have been definitely agreed upon
by the United States, Great Britain, Ger
many, and France.
The American government undertakes
the supervision Of the customs service
by which the loan Is to be guaranteed.
Reed Paige Clark, of Vermont, was se-
lected by President Taft to be appointed
by the Liberian government as general
receiver of customs for the republic.
Secretary of State Knox Is highly
gratified over what he regards as a So
luton OF Liberals main difficulty. The
outstanding Indebtedness Of that coun-
try Is about s1,50o.ooo. and has been ac-
cumulating for many years. A few years
ago the president Of Liberia. which was
founded by a colored colony from Mary
land. appealed to the United States for
help, and this Is now being given.

Manassas is quaint Virginia town,
but it got giddy with four or five colors
yesterday. Ali its main Streets" of
which it is duly proud, were bowers If
flags, hanging from arches, from tele-
phone wires. from store fronts, and from
shady cottages. OF course, Old Glory pre-
dominated. but the Stars and Bars were
everywhere in evidence. and there was
plenty of old fighting Southern spirit to
be found. On the campus Of Eastern
College great numbers OF visitors con-
gregated. and the unusual spectacle was
found OF two big dormitories turned into
hotels for the day. Gov. Mann and his
staff. including Col. z. A. Halsey, Of this
city, made their headquarters there.

along with a parched throat and a
querulous spirit all day.
The town did itself proud in all re-
spects, and when the trains pulled out
of the depot last night carrying thou
sands homeward, there was nothing but
praise for the hospitality and the en-
thusiasm Of the quaint place. which will
always be known to fame for its connec-
ton with the civil war.

Gov. Mann made the chief address on
the battle ground. He spoke of the con-
tribution that Virginia has made to
American history. He briefly referred to
such soldiers of the common veal as

ocean to ocean by grant from the King,
five States had been carved.

ten days should suf1ice to control this

house conditions, it is much better to
rely on the more efficient though dan
gerous fumigation with hydrocyanic
acid gas. Doctor Morrill, advises the
use of .005 gram Of potassium cyanide
for each cubic foot of space, the fumi-
cation to last not over three hours.
Should this not prove effective. the
amount should be raised to 0.0o7
gram.
Fumigation should be after dark
(preferably when the moon is not
shining. and the foliage Of the plants
should be. dry). These precautions
are advised simply for the purpose Of
