Will Ho Used us 1'uit of the Itlcnlifi ralloti Record. Washington, D. C July 6. The navy department has completed ar rangements for the adoption of the finger print system of Identification. This Is a system which has been adopted for the army and which will go Into effect on September 1. The navy department Is not able to go Into the matter so thoroughly us Is pro posed In the army, but every man ac cepted at a naval recruiting office will be required to leave his finger and thumb prints. Records of these, taken from the usual glass slides, will be sent to Washington and clussifled In the bureau of navigation, where two civilians will be employed at a specially authorized salary of $1800 each, to develop nnd maintain the system. H la apprehended that men, alreudy In the navy will have a prejudice against submitting to this means of Identification, and It has been decided to subject only new recruits to the process, although the record would be valuable as a means of identifying the dead or badly Injured when there was no other way of recognition. In the army no such prejudice seems to ejclst, and the records will be complet ed as soon as It Is possible to obtain them. In the navy, of course, the sys tem will eventually be completed with the re-enllstment of men who are not now to be required to leave their finger print records. CHEAT CALIFORNIA nXXII).

' With the hope of arranging for a i series nf concerts to l- given hy Ihe j Eagles' bund at the court hewye grounds during the summer, n move ment was started today uJih vi-it iln dlcation of success. Ar tne meeting of the general Fourth of July oom- mlttce, which Is to be held tonight the subject will be brought up. and likely a committee will be appointed to raise a subscription for the pur pose. The Idea of summer evening trn cci ts by the Eagles' band has bet. a dis cussed fur some time, nnd the srln- lid entertainment given ty the band t.n the evening of the Fourth showed what pleaxure the neupl may derive trom such an arrangement. The court house grounds furnish a pleasant place for a concert, and with but small expense a band stand cou.a be erected ut a suitable place jn the grounds. When asked this morning as to the bnnd's willingness to serve. C. C Shjirp. the leader, declared the mem bers were desirous of holding concerts provided sufficient money Is raised to Justify them for the trouble. IVurlng the day severnl prominent loca l business men were seen an J nil were found strongly ",i favor of ar ranging for the concerts. Leon t'oh ni declared Ills willingness to contribute lo such a fund, as did also Lee Teutseh, M. A. Ruder and others. In the opinion of Mr. Teutseh the concerts should be held at the court house grounds, and the benches that were upefl along the sidewalks on the Fourth be so arranged around the grounds. Most of the benches belong lo M. A. rtnder, and he has offered to allow them used for the purpose. It Is suggested that concerts be held one or two evenings each week, and that a suffilcent subscription be raised to provide for concerts during the next two or three months. How much will be required Is not yet known, as the band haa ao far placed no price on Its service. Tonight the Fourth of July commit tee will meet to wind up Its affairs, and should there be a surplus It Is possible the money may be turned Into a concert fund, though most of tho business men advocate a refund of any surplus and the raising of n separate subscription for the band conoert.

Country Imports Very Little nnd Grows Considerable. Washington, T. C. July6. In re ply to many inquiries from this coun try as to the possllhllty of building up a trade In Amerlcun leaf tobacco In China, Consul George K. Anderson has sent a reply. In which he says: "Already there Is considerable busi ness done In rorolgn leaf, Shanghai alone Importing $lS0.0O0 worth last year; hut this was mostly for use of foreigners. The real Chinese trade Is not reached. When It Is considered that the same port Imported through the customs alone f 1.250.000 worth of prepared native leaf and 1333.000 worth of native leaf, with probably a similar or even a greater amount of each Imported through the likln routes, it may be seen that the real tobacco trade of China Is enormous. Hut the greater portion of the tobacco consumption gets into no trade re ports for the leaf Is produced, largely among the mulberry trees, cured, and consumed on the farms or In the vil lages."

Within a short time a large expenditure from the University of Nebraska will come to Wyoming for the purpose of making researches Into the old forts and bur led cities of the vunlshed races which lived In this section of the county be fore the Indians and the Aztecs. The Interest In this work has be come almost national In nature as the result of discoveries which were made last Tuesday near Butte, Mont., by B. B. Strong, while working an old mine. He discovered a knife of stone, carved with heads of animals and unearthed 60 feet from the mouth of a tunnel driven into n hi:: 200 feet from the pefif Near Hie Unlfe was found a huge stone In the ihape of an altar and believed to have been a sacrifi cial stone of a prehistoric race. A pecuilur nauseating odor, unlike anything encountered In mines In Montana, leads Mr. Strong to believe that further along his workings he will encounter either mummies or a chnriu l house. The knife will be sent to th Smithsonian institute at Wash ington. Local archaeologists believe that Mr. Strong has stumbled upon the an cient burying ground of those vanish ed races whose traces are seen In Wyoming and In Western Xebraska. TWO MEN KILLED AT PASCO.
