SENTENCE OF CAPTAIN' COOK 1S DISAPPROVED $50 Fine and Reprimand Are Severe Enough. WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.—The rec- ord of the court-martial of Captain F. A.

United States Consul General Hugh | Pitcairn, at Hamburg, Germany, sends the following to the Washington of- | fice: The total imports of merchandise and specie into Samoa in the year 1503 amounted to $638,174, an in-«4 crease of $67,424 over those of 1902, in which year the total imports were valued at $570,752. The value of goods imported from Germany was $178,501; from Australasia and Poly- | nesia, $335,038; from the United States, $106,310; from Great Britain, | $6110, and from other countries, $12,- 215. The leading places among the merchandise imported are taken b)" (1) food products, the value of the | | imports of which amounted to $183,- 624, and (2) textile and dress goods, | the fmports of which were valued at $139,874. | The exports of agricultural products from Samoa show a decrease of $73,- 145 in 1903, in a total of $329,512; in | 1002 the exports amounted to $402,- | 660. The chief cause of the decrease | was the decline in the price of copra | from $57.12 to $42.84 a ton. The | value of the exports of copra alone was $325,184 higher than the total | velue of the exports of other products. The exports of cocoa beans amdunted | to 10,151 pounds, valued at $1318. There arrived in Samoa for trans- islands and cocoa from Tutuila to the | amount of $48,887, against $118,481 | worth in 1902, a decrease of $69,594. The trade of Samoa during the last two years was as follows: ITEM | 1903 | 1902. | H Iniports $638,174 33: $570,750 42/1$67,423 01 Exports ..| 320,51250, 402,660 50|* 73,147 99 In transit.| 48,886 63| 118,481 16(* 00,504 53 Total ...[$1,016,573 55/$1,001,892 17/°$75,318 62 Tincrease. *Decrease. —New York Commercial. ———— Curious Australian Bird. | There may now be seen in the Zoo- | logical Society’s eastern aviary a spec- men of a curious Australian bird, | known as the frog-mouth. It is a queer- | looking bird, and with its mottled | plumage and quaint postures it has rather the appearance of an old tree stump, @s it stands motionless on its perch. It is of nocturnal habits and if disturbed during the day it takes its heavy flight to a neighboring perch, and immediately drops off to sleep | again. One of the most characteristic | features of'this bird (podargus) is its | enormous mouth. Its great round eyes | glve it something of the look of an owl, which, indeed, in other respects, it closely resembles. It feeds upon | small birds, mice, insects, etc.—Pall Mall Gazette.

Haywood, secretary of the federation, “Davis, Kennison and Parker, members of the Cripple Creek.| District Union Executive Committee, were with him in Cripple Creek on June 6 when, as he says, the final ar- rangements were made for the Inde- pendence depot dynamiting. As a mat- ter of fact, the three union leaders named were in Denver from May 23 to June 8, attending the annual conven- tion of the federation. “Romain says that McKinney was one of the leading conspirators. The PROVE AN ALIBI apparent to any one who will consider that McKinney is the man who made a fake confession regarding the alleged | conspiracy to wreck the Florence & Cripple Creek train. “Romain was either hired to make this confesslon or he is working a bunko game on the Colorado authori- ties with the object of escaping a term in the Kansas penitentiary for the]| burglary he committed in Topeka. I| predict that he will not be brought back to Colorado, but that our oppo- | nents will use his statement as con- clusive evidence that the federation | planned and perpetrated the dastardly crime at Independence.” | ——————— | PROTECTION FOR BIRDS WANTED IN THE SOUTH | They Are Needed to Destroy Insects, | but Have Been Ruthlessly | Slaughtered. | Year after vear efforts have been | made to secure legislation in the South- | ern States that would protect bird life, but only one or two of the States have | taken any steps to protect non-game | birds and songsters. When such bills | have been introduced they have been “laughed out of court” as ‘“bull-bat | bills” or something equally frivolous. | And vet “bull-bats” are among the greatest of Insect destroying birds. | Mocking birds, desirable alike for their insect-destroying capacity and their delightful songs, have been almost ex- terminated in many sections. Red- birds and thrushes have become rare. No species of birds seem to be really thriving except the English sparrow, which is a town-dweller,'and does no- body any good. Maybe the appearance of the boll weevil in Texas and the threat of its liabjlity to spread over the whole cotton belt in the course of a few vears will awaken the legis- | lators to the importance of taking im- mediate steps for the protection of song and non-game birds, and maybe it would be a good idea to remember also the®harmless snakes and the toads.—Savannah News. —_——— Short of Sunshine. Sunshine is so rare in England lhal‘ the Government takes great care to measure it. The official summing up for 1903 as regards sunshine shows that | all districts in the British Isles, with | one exception, fell short of the average. The exception was England northwest, including Manchester, that curiously | had an excess of fifty-seven sunny hours. In Scotland north, west and east the deficit was 81 hours, 48 hours England northeast and | east were short by 107 hours and 139 | hours, while in England south and The midlands were behind | In Ireland north and| south the shortage was 81 hours and 113 hours. Commonly the islands in the English Channel have a large share of sunshine, but last year they were 133 sunny hours short. 115 hours. Osmon, the New Combustible. A new form of combustible, known as “osmon,” has been lately produced in Europe from raw peat. Of the 90 per cent water which the peat contains from 20 to 25 per cent is eliminated by an electrical process. A direct current is passed through the mass of the peat, contained in a suitable tank. Under the action of the current the water col- lects at the negative pole and flows out | In carrying out the process the invest- ors use from ten to twelve kilowatt- hours a cubic vard of raw material. The process lasts about an hour and a half. The electrically treated peat is then dried in the ordinary way and re- duced to smaller pieces in a crusher. It is delivered to the trade in the form of balls or briquettes. The heating power of the new product is consider- able. No trace of sulphur is found and it does not smoke or leave much cinder, —Sclentific American. ————————— Earned “Time” for Good Bchavior. George H. Daniels, general passenger agent of the New York Central Rail- road, has a story about a charming widow out in California who had pub- licly and frequently announced after the death of her husband that she would not marry again for at least two years. It was just eight months later that one of her friends met her at a dinner, when formal announcement of her engagement to a Sacramentb law- yer was made, with the added news that she was to be marrfed six months later. “How's this, Bess?” asked an. inti- mate friend. /T thought there was a two years’ limit on this marriage busi- ness?” “That was my original intention,” Bess blandly responded, “but I've con- cluded that I'm entitled to eight months off for good behavior—same as they get in the State prisons, you know.—New York Commercial, ———————— Never judge a man by the jury that acquits him.

John Wilzinski of 26 Zoe street was arrested last night and booked at the Southern station on a charge of as- sault with intent to commit murder. The complaining witness is Isidor Starr, who occupies the upper flat of the Zoe-street house. He claims he heard a great disturbance in Wilzin- ski's apartments and went in to find out the cause of the trouble. Wilzin- ski ordered Starr out, threatening to chop his head off. As Starr was re- treating Wilzinski fired a shot at him. The bullet went through the window of a house on the opposite side of the street and narrowly missed striking the head of a child. ———— e ——— Except the sun and the moon, only Venus, Jupiter and some of the bright- 4 est fixed stars give a sensible shadow, | SCHLEY WILL PUBLISH THE STORY OF HIS LIFE Book Will Contain What He Thinks Is Fair Criticism of Operations Against Cervera. NEW YORK, Sept. 10.—The an-| nouncement that Rear Admiral Schley will*shortly publish his autobiography under the title, “Forty-five Years Un- der the Flag,” has been made. About one-third of the book will be devoted to the Spanish war, concerning which the admiral will say in his preface: “In the chapters which relate to the operations. against Cervera's fleet, the purpose has been to record the events from the writer's own view point, to criticise in a spirit of fairness, but without malice, bearing in mind that wherever it has been necessary to refer to apparent inconsistencies in the state- ments of others, the author has en- deavored always to avoid unnecessary personalities. Through the courtesy of Secretary Moody recourse has been had to official papers, which were not avail- able before his accession to office. The remainder of the large volume will be given to 'the narrative of Ad- miral Schley’s service in many seas. B — TAKES A FIRM STAND. Senatorial Candidate Announces Posi- tion on Utah Politics.

Senator Kearns stated also that it was his intention to personally advance by all honorable means the movement now on foot in Utah to free the politics of the State from alleged apostollc dom- ination and to bring about a dissolu- tion of the relations now existing be- tween church and State in Utah. Senator Kearns heretofore has been an active candidate for re-election. ———— 'W.
