Pekin, April 25.
Attacks upon
magistrates and several mission build­
ing at Changtch Fu and reports of dia-
lurbancea at other points in Hunan
province have aroused diplomatic cir­
cles. Concern is felt lest the trouble
«lartod in Changsha may develop wide
significance.
The Chinese government, fearing
revolutionaries may take advantage of
the unrest growing out of the food sit­
uation, is taking stringent measures to
suppress disorder.
Fuller advices
from Changsha emphasize that the
rioting is not primarily due to anti-
foreign feeling. but was turned against
foreigners only ujx>n the discovery
that the governor's efforts to prevent
the exportation of rice were balked
largely through
foreign
influence.
Thousands are on the verge of starva­
tion, owing to the failure of the crops.
Several weeks ago the governor, to
prevent high prices, prohibited ail ex­
portation of rice. British and Japan-
cse merchants and shippers engaged
in the rice trad«- protested to their re­
spective legations at Pekin in an effort
to induce the diplomatic corps as a
body to protest. Thia was frustrated
by the refusal of th« American and
German legations to join.

and drove the [«»or in de»|»eration to

Chicago, April 2b. - Western and
other fruit pruducing status wilt be
called u|«»n this year to supply all of
the Middle Western states, in addition
to their regular buaiiieaa, for no fruit,
with the possible exception of straw-
licrriea and a few late gra|»ee, will be
grown in six or eight states.
Of these Michigan and Missouri have
heretofore been counted U|x»t> for very
large supplies, but they will be forced
to Imy everything this season.
Thirty million dollars is a rough es­
timate made tonight of the loan in thia
year’s fruit crop by the cold tempera­
ture» and blizxardous condition which
obtained through the Upper Missis­
sippi valley last night and today and
extended aa far East aa Ohio.
Fears are expressed by conservative
observers in Michigan, Illinois, Iowa,
Nebraska, Kansas, Wisconsin, Indiana
atxi Missouri that small fruits, with
the exception of late strawberries, will
be a total loss.

Thousands of Tons of Valuable Goods
Jettisoned in Effort to Save
Ship from Going to Pieces
Hughtown, Scilly Islands, April 21.
Inhabitants of the Rocky Scilly is­
lands were famous wreckers of primi­
tive times, but they will forever re­
member thia aa the greatest day in
their hiatory.
The Atlantic tranxjtort liner Minne­
haha, wrecked Monday, disgorged part
of her 17,000 tons of valuable cargo,
casting it upon the waters all day long,
to be gathered up by those who cared
to lake the trouble.
Farming and fishing were aban­
don«!, and even school was dismissed,
while most of the population of the
nearby islands, men, women and chil­
dren, devoted themselves to obtaining
treasures from the waves.
The salvagers decided to try to res­
cue the Minnehaha by cutting her in
half, in the same way the Chicago
White Star steamship Suevic, which
went ashore near the Lizard in March,
1907, was saved.
Every effort to lighten the ship is
now imperative.
Today the waves
beat up too high and strong for the
tugs to go alongside.
Consequently
goods were thrown ovt rboard from the
forward hold as fast as the stevedores
could handle them.
Huge cases, containing automobiles
and pianoa, followed one another over
the side, striking the water with a
great splash.
Sewing machines and
clocks went with them, while furniture
floated everywhere.
Many bales of cigarettes covered
the face of the water, and tons of cheap
American novels floated to the nearby
shore of Bryhe, where they were piled
like seaweed.
Tidings of the jettisoning of wealth
spread early and a flotilla of fishing
craft and luggers scurried to the scene.
Aa fast aa the cargo hit the water,
enterprising boatmen pulled up the
smaller cases, while they took the
larger ones in tow.
The machinery was taken from the
wreck and stored.
Two hundred and twenty-four head
of cattle swam ashore, while ten were
drowned.
The seamen here think it will be im-
poasible to save the Minnehaha, and
look for the first strong wind to break
her to pieces.
ROOSEVELT IN PARIS.

Paris, April 21. Colonel Roosevelt
arrived here at 7:33 o’clock thia morn­

unite in warm expressions of welcome
to the ex-president. The Matin prints
a message of eulogy from M. Pinchon,
th«- foreign minister, who says M.
R<x«evelt ever was foremost in the
cauM- of peace.
”We French have more cause to re­
member this than any one,’’ says the
foreign minister, “for Mr. Roosevelt
is surely a faithful friend to France.
He han manifested friendship to uh un­
der all circumstances, with perfect dis-
intvrvHtedni-as. He has acted as a
statesman who understands that the
tw<» great republics owe each other
support, since they obey the same
principles to carry out the same work
and have the same ideals.
It is a
friend we are going to receive, a
friend sincere, just and tenacious. Let
us honor him.
