Fleet Passes in Review-Six Miles OF
* War Vessels Fire Salute.

San Diego, Cal, Aug, An
American armada--the greatest that
has ever turned propeller blade in
the Pacific-came to-day to make the
seas under the Sierra and Cascade
slopes It's home. In an inspiring
naval parade Admiral Hugh Rod
mans newly created fleet passed in
review of Secretary Of the Navy
Daniels and Governors and Mayors
Of western States and cities aboard
the cruiser Montana, anchored OFF
Coronado beach, while thousands
lined the shore to aid In the welcome.
Six miles of war vessels, 81 in
number-some Of which had held
guard with the British in the North
Sea-swung past the reviewing ship,
firing the dreadnaughts' salutes. of
10 guns in honor Of Secretary Of the
Navy as they came abeam the Mon
tana. 1t required one hour for this
vast fleet of dreadnaughts, battle
ships Of lesser type and 21 sleek and
speedy destroyers to pass the well
coming party.
Manocuvers Of Fleet.
The war vessels turned inshore by
the Montana, then stood away to the
southward for three miles, came
about and steamed into the north
west, making almost complete cir
Gle, and then off the beach while the
batleships came into the bay.
Secretary Daniels, turning from
the bridge Of the Montana after the
last destroyer had passed, said:
This is realization Of dream
kept constantly in view for six
years, since l first came to the Paci-
fic coast, shortly after induction into
office, to study naval conditions. l
conceived Of an American fleet that
was truly an American fleet at home
and in equal strength on both coasts.
This advance into powerful fleets is
an epoch in naval history and pre-
sages the day when the whole fleet,
now composed Of more than 1,00O,-
600 tons, with 5,O00,0n0 more tons
building, will make the magnitude

DANGER FROM THE RED SPIDER.
How to Treat Cotton Plants That
Are Affected by the Pest.

Clemson College, Aug. 2.-There
have been a few small outbreaks Of
red spider in several parts of the
State, but as long as the moist
weather lasts there is no immediate
danger Of the red spided developing
seriously, says Prof. A. f. Conrad,
entomologist. AS soon as dry wealth
er sets in, however, cotton fields
should be closely watched, because
the insect may develop rapidly in
spots. While the red spider will not
be as serious as last year, the in
jury will be more pronounced in
some places, owing to the reaction
In cotton should the rainy weather
suddenly stop and dry, hot weather
follow.
Just as soon as it is found that
the blood red coloration on the leaves
and the infested plants increases,
immediate action should be taken
to treat the infested spots. The
surest method is to spray such spots
instead Of carrying the plants to
burn them. Where plant is pulled
up 1T should be put into cotton
Dicker's sack that has previ-
ously been soaked in kerosene In
tested plants should not be carried
across the plantation exposed, be-
cause in this manner the pest is
scattered and the injury is actually
increased instead Of reduced.
The majority Of red spider at
tacks this year are traced to violets
around dwelling houses on and near
plantations, and attention is again
directed to the violet as nuisance
in cotto production. There are
other border plants which can be
substituted for the violet and which
are not red spider carriers. Atten-
tion is again directed to the poke
stalk as a colonizing plant for red
spider and this weed should not be
allowed on or near the plantation.
Circular Of information on red
spider, what it is, what 1t does, how
to treat and how to make up the
spray will be furnished on applica-
ton

RAn4DoAD MEN ARE ACCUSED
OF Stealing Freight from Roads--A
Portion of Goods Recovered.

Charleston News and Courier.)
Through the vigilance of the po-
lice department and United States
authorities several other arrests in
addition to those made last week,
were made yesterday in the ratlorad
robbery cases. At the recent term
of the United States Court, Wilkin-
,-son. Harbeson, Kelley, Rumph and
others were sent to prison in con-
nection with systematic stealing
from the 'Seaboard Air Line.
The property stolen was interstate
freight, which made the offense one
against the Federal government.
Yesterday three employees Of the
Atlantic Coast Line were arrested
on the same charge. They were r..
=. LeQueux, who has been lodged in
Jail in default Of bond; NJ. G. Rou-
millat and r. S. Jones. From the
evidence in the hands Of the United
States District Attorney, these men
were operating, it is alleged, with
the others from the Seaboard Air
Line, and used the same Fences" F"
1t appears that the gang was we'll
organized and did big business.
The goods stolen were sold in
Charleston, and several Of the al
legged fences are now doing time
for their offense. The conspiracy
was we'll organized and the men did
a thriving business for time. It
is hard to estimate the quantity of
goods stolen, but large lot of goods
will be used as evidence in the cases,
which will come up at the next GRIM
inal term of the United States Court.
