New Orleans, Sept.

In Tallulah and Lake Providence,
when it was announced to the public
that partial depopulation was deemed
necessary to the stamping out of the

and many hastily packed their belong

the country.
BARCLAY-VAN DER POEL.
Southampton, L. I., Sept.
16.—The
wedding of Miss Mildred Moore Bar
clay, daughter of Mrs. Henry Anthony
Barclay, and Samuel Van der Poel,
jr., was solemnized this noon at St.
Andrews' Dunes Church. Owing to
the fact that the bride's family is in
deep mourning, only the immediate
relatives and intimate friends were
present at the ceremony. There was
no reception. The bridal party, how
ever, attended a wedding breakfast at
the country home of Mrs. J. Stevens
Ulman, the sister of the bride.
The decorations of the church were
green and white. Miss Barclay's^ sis
ter, Miss Clara Barclay, was maid of
honor and Henry Anthony Barclay
gave the bride away. W. Halstead
Van der Poel was best man.

Washington, D. C., Sept
16.—The
war department has sent out orders
to the officers of the United States
who have been with the hostile forces
during the recent war between Russia
and Japan to return to their respec
tive posts in the United States. The
American officers who have been as
observers with the J^fianese armies,
are Gen. Arthur McArthur, and his
aide, Captain Parker W. West Col. E.
J. McClernand, Maj. Joseph E. Coon,
of the engineer coirps and Capt. Chas.
Lynch of tjie medical corps. Those
with the Russian forces were Gen.
Thos. H. Barry, Col. John Van R.
Hoff, of the medical corps Maj. M.
M. Macomb, of the artillery corps and
'Capt. S. A. Cloman, of the infantry.
The general staff and army officers in
general await with deep interest the
full reports which these. officers wilt
make after their return.
ABERDEEN PROBLEMS#
Aberdeen, S. D., Sept.
16.—Aberdeen
voters will shortly be called upon to
vote upon two separate propositions
for an electric lighting plant. At a
special meeting of the city council two
reports upon the subject by the mem
bers of a special committee recently
appointed were made. Aldermen Weils
and Harrington, the former an inde
pendent and the latter a democrat, fav
ored city ownership^of an electric light
ing plant issuing bonds therefor in the
sum of
$35,000,
000.
REPORT
V is No.
Awas
16.—Wfu!e
the
fact that members of the refugees from
Tallulah and Lake Providence fleeing
north had developed yellow fever at
Cincinnati and other points created no
surprise here owing to the haste with
which residents of the two stricken
towns got away the news that fifty or
more of those who reached Cincinnati
were found to be penniless and likely
to be stranded far away from home and
friends created much surprise.
and the other two mem­
bers of the committee, Aldermen Bar
nes and Hall, republicans, submitted a
proposition providing for the grant
ing of a franchise to the highest and
best bidder for putting in an electric
light plant costing not less than
$50,-
The franchise to run twenty-five
years, and the city to have the right to
purchase the plant at the end of any
five-year. period at the actual cost of
the plant, less depreciatio-i. Each
proposition has many favorites and it
is probable a lively campaign will fol-1

STREAM MEASUREMENTS

1904
in twelve parts. Parts I to VI
of this report contain the results of

16.—Da-d
velopments occurred in the Albers case
which may make it unnecessary for
Consul General Lee, or, in fact, any
United States officer, to proceed from
Panama to Ocatel to ascertain the facts
connected with Albers' arrest and im
prisonment. Information is said to be
on its way to Minister Mery which
.will throw new and full light on the
case, and, beside, Mr. Blubacker, the
Philadelphia lawyer, who was sent by
the Port Limon Cc defend its rep
resentative in Nicaraugua, is believed
to be already in connection with his
client, or, at least, soon will be, and
thus the necessity for governmental in
tervention in the case will disappear.

A distinctive feature of the motor

of the world. Apart from King Ed

who has four or five cars the king of
the Belgians, who has three, and the
Czar, who at present has only one, but
contemplates adding to his "stud."
The king of Portugal and the queen
of the Netherlands are also of the com

WHAT OTHERS SAY.
P. G. Knowlton: Professor Andrews
who is to give the organ recital at the
Baptist Church, is one of the very best
of living organists. I have known him
well for many years, and heard him
play many times at Oberlin and I esteem
it a very rare privilege to hear him in
Fargo. I am absolutely certain that the
people of Fargo have not had the oppor
tunity to hear an organist of the ability
and character of Professor Andrews
within the past ten years. He is a thor
ough artist and at the same time a sane
well educated «refined gentleman, and
will not offend the most critical in any
respect.

has arisen regarding the survey.
The spur, will prove a great saving to
the college and President Worst* is very

to experi® any money for keeping it

The greater part of the world's con
sumption of quicksilver Is satisfied Toy
the older mines. Besides the famous
Almaden mines, worked by the Roth
childs under a renewal government
agreement for ten years from
1900,
there are commercial deposits in the
provinces of Almeria, Granada, ami
ference is partly explained by the Span*
ish export tax of
540
kilos. imposed in
pesetas per 100
1898
as a result of
the Spanish American war. As the Ital
ian output from mines near Monte
Auriate, Tuscany, is not large, any var*
iation in the price of other brands
would not influence this market ap*
preciably. The Idria mines in Austria
rank third jn the list of producers, and
although they have been worked fof
412
j'ears their ore reserves are esti
mated to last forty or fifty years longer
at the present rate of mining.
Germany showed an increased con
sumntion of quicksilver in
1904
by im­
porting 1,522,964 pounds, and re-export
ing only
94,772
pounds.^ Russia has en­
larged the output of its mines in the
Ekaterinoslav district, which are work
ed by A. Auerbach & Co. An apprec
iable quantity of quicksilver is exported
annually from Russia to Hamburg, Ger
many. In Mexico the great activity in
the gold and silver mines has given an
"'^impetus to the quicksilver industry, es
pecially in the Guadalcazar district, in
San Luis Potosi, and at Huitzoco, (n
Guerrero. Other deposits are at Ranas,
in Queretaro, and at Batuco in Sonora.
Quicksilver occurs also at Yulgihar, in
New South Wales at Httancavelica, in
Peru at Taghit, in Algeria in Japan,
in Germany and near Akluri, in Turkey.
The above mentioned facts are taken
from a paper published as an extract
from the survey's forthcoming volume.

1904."
