folly for the intelligent minority to
isolate itself in an impofellt group
and leave the actual balance of power

to see progressive people make the

their group action so as, to have the
greatest possible influence on the

stroyed the older portion of the famous
Imperial Hotel and damaged the tenn
porary annex to the hotel. Three hun
dred persons. mostly members of the
staff of the Prince of Wales and Wis

visit of the Prince, were rendered
homeless. Their effects were partly
destroyed. One person is known to

When the fire broke out at $40
o'clock this afternoon the Prince OF
Wales was just entering the ShinjuJu
gardens, three miles from Toxic, ac-
companied by the Regent, the Empress
and some three thousand invited guests
for garden party. Consequently, ne
knew nothing of the disaster until his
return to the city.
The flames swept rapidly through the
hotel building under the strong wind
that was blowing, and the hotel was
quickly enveloped. The annex also was
considerably damaged, and the new
hotel, which is under construction at
cost Of 100000 yen, was endangered

member of the American Embassy.
About twenty or thirty members OF
the suite of the Prince of Wales and
officers of the cruiser Renown were at
tending the imperial garden party with
the Prince during the fire, and were
heavy losers. Captain p Leigh lost
presents he had received during the
visit of the Prince of Wales to India
and Japan, and which he intended to
ship home by way of the United States.
Some of the Princes staff officers lost
their entire kits.
The newspaper representatives and
photographers attached to the Prince. s
staff also lost everything they had left
behind in the hotel.
The man killed was Greek named
Milliaressy, who had been resident of
Toxic For fifteen years. Milliaressy
tried to make his escape by way of the
roof of the hotel. Firemen placed a
ladder in an endeavor to rescue him. He
was reaching Tor the ladder when he
fell He managed to grasp a rung and
hold on, but the flames enveloped him.
While cinging to the rung the firemen
played stream of water on him. Final
ly he fell through the flames to the
ground, where he was picked up dead.

Weather and Crop
Conditions in S. G.

Excepting ;5.tcrmittcnt chowers and
some locally heavy rains in the coast
counties, the weather has continued
dry, with abundant sunshine, becom-
ing cooler toward the week end. All
late crops in the interior show the eff
fects of drought, and fall plowing has
been materially retarded, due to hard
soil. Late corn and late gardens are
poor, especially upstate, where ade-
quate rains have not fallen for a long
time. Sweet potatoes, fall white po-
tatoes and peanuts are in good con-
dition generally, but would be i'm
proved by rain. Large quantities of
good forage have been secured. Cot
ton is in poor productive condition
and has steadily deteriorated, due to
dry weather and weevil ravages; the
top crop is practically destroyed, and
large sized bolls in the intermediate
crop have been punctured; the crop is
opening rapidly, and picking is well
advanced. Good apples and grapes
are being marketed, but good vege-
tables are becoming rather scarce
Generous rains are needed for all
late crops, except in sections Of the
coast counties. Richard H. Sullivan
