Mr. Canningham is well known in San Francisco, where he makes his home. SMYRNA FIG INDUSTRY. George C. Roeding, who introduced the blastophega, the insect fertilizer of thke 8myrna fig into Fresno County and at once lifted the California prod- uct from obscurity to an equality with the famous Smyrna article, is one of | the men at the exposition who is going to do California some good. He is mak- ing 2 complete exhibit of the Smyrna fig as grown in California and also of the wonderful ingect that gives it the flavor that makés it marketable. Mr. Roeding says there is a great future for the fig as a commercial crop and that it can be grown in every part of the State from north to south where hot summer weather. In the northern counties, where the rain- fall averages twenty inches or more, the trees can be grown successfully without irrigation, he says. . Not only will visitors from abroad be deeply interested in the fig and the in- sect agent, under the influence of which it becomes a delicious condiment, tut California orchardists who visit the fair will receive information that may be of value to them in the matter of producing the fig. Mr. Roeding will for | have the exhibit ready in a few days. The fair management issued a notice to all exhibitors last week that all ex- hibits must be finished by May 12. This nicluded California, of course, and some of the counties could not possibly be finished by that date. The order did not cause much alarm as it was gen- erally deemed that it was issued more to produce a “hurry-up” than any- thing else.

One of the principal lines of ques- tioning by strangers to California who view her exhibits is as to the names ! | of the various fruits and other, prod- ucts shown. To people from most of the other States and from many for- eign countries there are products in the Yy new and they are much carried away by the show as is the small boy who makes his first visit to the zoo. Prod- ucts that some visitors thought could only be seen in countries foreign to the | United States they are surprised to find set before them in fullest variety i | and finest quality by California.

They wonder at first { what the fruit is, and when they finally realize what they are looking at they declare they never saw such persim- mons before. One Easterner at the horticultural building declared when he viewed the enormous bunches of grapes there that they were made up by skill- fully placing several bunches together. He examined as closely as he could without breaking the jars and finally acknowledged that he was not being “bunkoed,” the size of the grapes and the sections of vine bearing them con- vincing him that California could pro- duce grapes that there is no surpassing. BTN BUILDINGS ARE FILLED. | | All Available Space for Exhibits Has Been Appropriated. ST. LOUIS, May 9.—There is now no allotted space in any of the World's Fair buildings that is not occupied with the exception of the reservations for exhibits from Russia and Argen- tina, which are en route to St. Louis. Workmen were put to work to-day in the various industries building prepare the space allotted to Russia and havé it in readiness for quick in- stallation of the exhibits. It is stated | that Russia and the Argentine repub- lic will have their exhibits installed by June 1. the World's Fair for installment was sthe Pennsylvania postoffice car, which was delivered at the grounds on Octo- ber 29, 1903. From that time until 7 o'clock this morning 4833 cars of exhibits had been delivered within the World’s Fair enclosure. cars are yet expected. Traffic Man- ager C. L. Hillery of the exposition made , the statement that the total number of cars has been tripled years ago and consequently a larger amount of exhibits has been installed in the Louisiana Purchase Exposition than was installed at the former. Reporis unnecessarily delayed in reaching the World’s Fair grounds after arriving at the terminal yards in East St. Louis and St. Louis. This is emphatically denied by Traffic Manager Hillery. The board of lady managers, which has been in daily session for a week, held its final meeting to-day and ad- journed until July 14. All the mem- bers of the board will return to their homes, excepting Mrs. Daniel Manning, i president; Mrs. F. P. Ernest of Den- | ver, Mrs. Mary Phelps Montgomery of Portland, Or., and Miss Lavina Egan, secretary, who will remain in St. Louis during the exposition period. e — Telegraph Operator Drops Dead.

The Emperor’'s words, the speaker added, were enhanced in importance through the fact that he telegraphed to Emper- or Nicholas from §icily, on the occa- slon of the sinking of the Russian bat- tleship Petropavlovsk, as follows: “Russia’s mourning is Germany's mourning.” Herr Bebel, continuing, said: “I deny most emphatically that the ! Bmperor’s telegram reflects the senti- ments of the German people. In my opinion German sympathies are far more on the side of Japan than on that of Russia.” This statement caused murmurs of dissent on the Right. “The land in which such things can happen as recently occurred in Rus- sia,” continued Herr Bebel, “stands upon such a low level of civilization | that all the rest of Europe has the | most lively interest in seeing the sun of civilization rise upon it.” Chancellor von Bulow, in his reply, began by deprecating the idea that he intended to enter into a lengthy dlsw | cussion of international politics with | | Herr Bebel. He pointed out that the | quotation of the Emperor's words was incorrect. The Emperor’s telegram, he | | sald, expressed warm sympathy on ac- | count of the great calamity by which €0 many brave men had met death in the discharge of their duty. The Chan- | cellor added: “I am convinced that thls expression | of human sympathy corresponded with | the sentiments of the majority of this | high house and also with those of the | majority of the people of Germany.” Applause from the Right party fu!-- lowed this statement, after which the | Chancellor expressed his regret-at the | manner in which many ‘or the German newspapers, especially the comic pub- lications, had utilized the recent calam- ity of a neighboring and friendly power as the basis for malevolent, spneful and ridiculing articles and caricatures, | “which have affronted human feelings and are lacking in political tact.” e Chancificn poltites out Mavs Des} bel's inconsistency in demanding strict neutrality in the Far Eastern war and then openly expressed tne hope that Russia would be defeated. He object- ed to Herr Bebel's historical analogies as being a divergence from the strict neutrality which Germany must ob- serve. Alluding to a statement in regard to the causes of the Herrero uprising, the Chancellor said he would leave that matter for Dr. Steubel, director of the Colonial Office, to answer. “However,” the Chancellor added, “our countrymen are men of flesh and blood and like other colonizing peo- ples we have had sad experiences, dis- covering that men sent out were with- out the necessary self-control when un- der the influence of the climate. Great- er power and greater freedom of ac- tion resulted in excesses. Nevertheless, such cases are only exceptional.” Von Bulow expressed his regret at the fact that the missionaries had used the present occasion, when so many Germans had become the victims of rude barbarism, to make attacks upon their fellow countrymen. “In the struggle forced upon us,” he centinued, “the missionary's - ldce is by the side of his fellow countryman. 1 cannot recognize him as a prosecutor | or as a fudge.” Answering the criticisms on the sub- ject of the piecemeal method of send- ing troops to German Southwest Africa, the Chancellor said the Gov- | ernment had followed the advice of Governor Leutwein, who had many vears' experience there. When it was seen that a larger force was necessary the Government recognized the impos- sibility’ of Governor Leutwein direct- ing both the military and civil govern- ment at the same time, hence the ne- cessity for sending a military com- mander to conduct the larger opera- tions, while Leutwein devoted himself to the civil administration. The Chancellor’ denied that the an- tipathies of the world were against Germany. They existed in a measure | as Herr Bebel had desctibed, but, he added, “if so, that it would be a rea-| son for maintaining our military equipment so as to calmly anticipate any eventuality of the future, for no other means have been discovered to | disarm unjustifiable hate and envy— for hate and envy against us is unjus- tiflable, since our policy has been for thirty-three years eminently peace- ful—than to keep the sword sharp.” Dr. Steubel, referring to an inquiry of Herr Bebel, recently made as to whether a command should be given to the South African troops not to give quarter and not to take prisoners, said |a telegraphic inquiry on the subject | had brought forth the answer that no | such order had been given. There had been no firing upon women and | children. No wounded prisoners had yet been taken; even the wounded men ! always continue firing till rendered helpless. Dr. Steubel continued read- ing the cablegram: “The other prisoners were brought before a court-martial. It is impos- sible to give their precise number. There have been no acts of violence to native women, now or formerly. The Herreros formerly were cruel to women, but not now, because we spared ninety-six Herrero women on our first military expedition. - Three white women were killed and several were wounded. The children and the missionaries were spared. English- - men were spared for political reasons,” |and he would grant the Distr! ADVERTISEMENTS.
