Y., Aug. 1.—Secretary Wilson will reorganize thoroughly the crop statistics bureau of the department of agriculture, according to information here last night. Already he is seeking men of character, standing and education to conduct the work of the bureau, men in whom the farmers and growers of the country will have implicit confidence and who will place the reports of the bureau on a standard of excellence never heretofore achieved. ~ Kew Vork, Aug. 1.—Nasujiro Islilkawa, editor of the Hachi Sblmbun of Tokyo, one of the men officially accompanying Koniura, the Japanese peace envoy, gave out an interview in which he outlines what he declared to he the popular feeling in Japan regarding peace terms. Lima, O., Aug. 1.—"Fighting Bob" LeFolette* Wisconsin's war governor In times of peace, was the attraction at the Lima Chautauqua last night, and injected a lot of human Interest Into the meeting by urging Ohio Republicans to get busy, drive out the big grafters who run the party and to restore representative government to the people. And the large crowd of Republicans present took kindly to his advice. To make things Interesting the management of the Chautauqua decided to have a Republican day and a Democratic day. Governor La- Follette was selected as the Republican orator and William J. Bryan as the spellbinder for the Democratic day.

Whether or not this edict will be carried out to the letter Is questionable, as such notices are issued annually and are never very strictly adhered to. The edict against unmuzzled dogs will remain In force until Heptember 1.

He was run \down by a trip of empty ears inside the mine and died a short time after being struck. The accident occurred In the Clark vein. The victim was about 28 years old and had been employed at Heidelberg for a number of years. He resided In West Avoca, where a wife and three small children survive lvjm. "My people feel that this is no time for peace, that it is too early," he said.

We Ho not wish to tight the ltussians again once pence lias been concluded." Louis Vanavage, a well known foreign resident of Upper Pittston, was seriously hurt last night while at his occupation as a miner in Coxey shaft, of the Lehigh Valley Coal Co. He was caught beneath a fall of coal and one of his legs was broken. His body was badly bruised also. Mr. Vanavage was removed to his home and medical attention was summoned.

In response to Invitations twice extended Secretary Wilson visited the president at Sagamore Hill. At the conclusion of his conference Secretary Wilson talked frankly about some phases of the work in his department. TO GUARD ROOSEVELT On the question of indemnity Mr. Ishikawa saiil that tlio very smallest sum his people would be willing to consider was 1,500,CX)0,000 yen, the actual cost of the war so far, but that some demanded as high as 5,000,000,- 000 yen. H« himself thought the people would be satisfied with 3,000,000,- 000 yen. "Fighting Bob" sailed right in and said there was a big change in the country since the days of Lincoln, Urn' now the people were not getting government of, by and for the people, but instead of that, government by the bosses, for the corporations. He called attention to the fact that every newspaper you pick up tells of grand juries investigation of scoundrels who have betrayed the people for the corporations and that a system had grown up which reaches down into all of our cities. He referred particularly in his talk on graft in the cities, to St. Louis, Philadelphia, Milwaukee and Cincinnati. He said the many indictments found in Milwaukee were not because other city,, but -had an exceptionally othe rcity, but had an exceptionally good district attorney, who was digging up the facts and smoking the "What have you to say, Mr: Secretary, about Mr. Jordan's statement that you did not collect new figures on the cotton acreage?"

The board's estimate differed from the estimate made by Hyde and Holmes by '3Vj per cent. That it is correct I believe, but. if it is not, It is the report of the field reporters and not of the department.

This Kvcnlng St. Petersburg, Aug. 1.—Emperor Nicholas' martial message to the Orenburg clergy, in which he expressed his determination never to conclude a peace dishonorable' to Russia, is reprinted in every paper in Russia today. It has struck a responsive chord in many quarters, even among the friends of peace. The emperor's words, however, by no means bear out the construction placed upon them by the jubilant war party and do not at all exclude the idea of a successful termination of the negotiations at Portsmouth, but they certainly strengthen the militant spirit aroused by versions of the Sato interviews and the supposed amount of the contribution to be demanded by Japan. Alarm Purposes*. It Is expected that by this evening .announcement will be made in Wilkesbarre of a transfer of (he new court house contract from Contractor Wilson J. Smith, of Wilkesbarre, to Contractors Doyle & Doak, of Philadelphia. This firm, which is one of the largest contracting, firms in the country, lias been after the court house contract for several months, but apparently has been unable to come to terms with Contractor Smith, Hepresentatives of the firm have been In Wilkesbarre from time to time, but comparatively little cou;tl be learned by the newspapers In regard to the negotiations. It seemed, however, that Contractor Smith had been put to so much annoyance over the new court house that he was willing to let the contract go, providing he received an advantageous offer and subcontractors to whom he had given work could be guaranteed payment for their work. Yesterday talk about transferring the contract was renewed. and It was announced that an option "ii the contract had been given the Philadelphia firm by Mr. Smith. This morning, Messrs. Doyle and Doak were both in Wilkesbarre, accompanied by their attorney, Mr. Simpson, of Philadelphia. They held a conference with Contractor Smith in Attorney Strauss' office. At noon, when the conference was adjourned for lunch, it was stated that the deal had not yet been closed, but that another conference was scheduled for this afternoon, when the matter would probably be closed. The committee on light and water of common council met last evening to consider the ordinance providing for a contract to light the city, which passed select council a short time ago and was then sent to common council, where it was referred to the committee. From all reports the committee changed the ordinance as it was reported to them until it has lost nearly all semblance of its former self. One thing is certain: When common council hears the ordinance as the committee recommends " it, they will not recognize the document that received the approval of the select council. In all probability the ordinance will be reported to council at the speoial meeting to be held next Thursday night. Divided into twenty-one chapters, the complaint is voluminous, containing 110 less than 12,000 words. woman-* LOKIC. "Yea, my father made me give him up. He Isn't any good at all." "Is that so, deaf?" Mayor tvlrkendall and Chief of Police Clifford, although it is quite likely that the secret service men will do their share in a quiet way to guard the President from any danger, Elaborate plans are now being outlined by the pity ofliclals. Practically all traffic In tlio central part of the city will be stopped during few hours that the President will be there. Arrangements are being made by which all street cars will stop several blocks away from the Public Square, and th*e Laurel Line will have their temporary terminus at Union street. Miles of rope will be used to keep the throng of people within the curb limits while the President Is passing through the streets. Kvery available man in the police department will be placed on duty, and several hundred men will be sworn in for special serviee as police officers on that day. It is also likely that the military companies of the temperance regiment will be asked to assist in keeping the crowd under control. Five beautiful arches will be erected by the city government, also reviewing stands on the» river common, where the speechmaking will take place. The attorney general in his complaint recites the transaeton by which the Western National bank was merged with the Bank of the United States. The Equitable society owned 12,000 shares of the former Institution. Pre- Haw to the merger the stock was quoted at $700. To accomplish the merger the directors deposited the Equitable stock, and the society was credited with only $210 a share. This transaction alone shows a loss of upward of $5,000,000. "Have you heard anything about Mr Hyde?" "Yes, Indeed. Why, even the neighbors said he was worthless. lie dissipates and 1s horrid." "You don't say?" "Well, he has gone to Europe," replied the secretary grimly. "I had no Idea he was going away from the country when he left the department. I received a letter from Mrs. Hyde explaining that she was responsible for his departure; that slic had purchased herself his steamship transportation and had insisted that he go away on account of his health. She said he was In danger of a nervous collapse. "In fact, I hate him." "Gracious! But have you heard that ho Is to be married to Belle?" "What? That Bello? Why, what on earth does a nice young man like him want with such a girl as Belle? I am surprised."—Columbus Dispatch. Juggled the Shares. "I haven't been naked to go, and I ain not Intending to resign," said the secretary. "1 am going to stick to my post and continue to build up that great department.

Since that time we have built up an Improvement brauch of the government service. Increase In Deportation. The changes that have been made in the ordinance are of- a sweeping nature. According to a report that we have received from an unofficial but authoritative source, they include the following: That within two years succeeding the awarding of the contract the company to whom it is awarded shall place all its wires underground; that wherever a light is out ten minutes during the time it is supposed to be lighted the cb:irge for the entire night shall be deducted; that the city bo granted the right to use the poles for the purpose of stringing wires for the lire alarm system or for other similar purposes. When the capital stock of the American Deposit and Loan company was increased from $500,000 to $1,000,000 and the society should, according to its holdings of 2,335 shares, have been allowed to take that amount iu addition at $150, the directors only allowed it lo take shares, the balance of 1,730 shares being distributed among themselves, James Hasten Hyde obtaining the major part of them. Now York, Aug. 1.—Undesirable immigrants from all parts of Europe are pouring into this country, according to United States Commissioner Watchorn, at an increased rate. In rough ligures 48,000 immigrants arrived during tlie month of July against 3U.000 in July of last year. The undesirable element is shown by the increased number of deportations. More than a thousand were deported during July as against 845 in July, 1!K)4. The special boards of inquiry are working particularly hard in order to prevent the uudesirable immigrant from landing. Scotchmen are fond of an argument, and delight to find daws in an opponent's logic. Two blacksmiths were once conversing as to which was the first trade in the world. One insisted that It must have been gardening, and quoted from Genesis: "Adam was put into the garden of Eden to dress It and keep it" "Aye, John," retorted the other, who had stood up for his own trade, "but wha made the spades V i lie Wanted to.

Immediately after this deal the price dropped to $883.33. Tills scheme cost the policy holders $1,221,170. "The agricultural department today is a groat department and, I may say, is as sound as a nut. We are trying every day to make it better. Since 1 took charge of it 270 people have been let out of Its service for various reasons, many of them on charges of one kind or other. We make it a point to keep only first class men and women.
