flg. 1' LAID WASTE By a Xew Pest in the Form of Small Bark and Timber Beetles. MATURE PROVIDES THE EEMEDI. Tarasite Gnats Clearing Out the Bugs and Saving Tonng Trees. ITIXORXETCSFROJI THE THREE STATES TFrECIAL TEl.r GRAMS TO Till DISPATCH.! JIorgantowx, W. Va., July 23. The West Virginia Agricultural Experiment 'Station at this place has just issued a bulle tin in report on the black spruce forests of the State. These forests exceed 600,000 acres, and cover 800 square mile of terri tory. The document deals especially Troth the terrible destruction of late inflicted by injects. The report 6tates that the first in dications the entymologist, Prof. A. D. Hopkins, noticed of the ravages were in Randolph county. A special trip was made to that county twice for the purpose of in vestigating the queer disease that was kill ing thousands of trees on the Cheat Moun tains. In Tucker county, also, great numbers of the dead spruce were noticed, but the tpectacle presented by the formerly mag nificent fcides of the Cheat Mountains was something remarkable. Thousands upon thousands acres of 'what was once valuable and handsome timber now stand a dry, withered and dreary waste. Somo 75,C00 acres of this land v ere leased to the Cheat Mountain Sportsmen's Club, and tho decay lias sot in right in the midst of their reserva tion. One of the dead trees, at a height of 4,310 feet above the sea, w as at once attacked v ith a. hatchet, and the first stroke that laid the bark open showed distinct traces of insect life. The insects were found to be the destructive scolytidie, bark and timber beetles, which are known to have causod t-uch great destruction to the timber of Franco, Germany and Canada, and which are now thought to ha e laid so many thou sands acres waste here. Years a;o this dark, dismal section was named "Miades of Death," and to-day its ap pearance makes the name yem prophetic A small trce.about eight inches in diameter, not quite dead, was next carefully examined, when hundred of insects, weie found to liave mined through the bark from every t-ide and into the wood, thus checking the How of sap and ultimately killing the tree. 1 his had been going on for the past three years, but had lately waned, and trees in tome places ncemed to be recovering their original health. Tho entomologist was amazed to unex pectedly llnd the cause of the stoppage of the ucct' work of destruction in the very firt young tree encountered. Hundreds of ruiall glials were noticed hovering over tho trees attacked, and these very same gnats were found in tho mines in the bark made l the borer-,. The gnats were proving on the borers, and undoubtedly this wise pro i i-ion of nature in increasing tho number of gnats will delay, if not entirely stop, tho killing of the biiruce. Thee gnats, or para sites of tho scolytida), were captured in great numbers and are being carefullv pro rogated. Mr. Hopkins stating that there is no doubt they can be successfully propo gated and intioduccd into infected districts. The value of the dead trees is estimated at tho very lowest ns $1,500,000, and every effort will be made, both by natural and artificial means, to pi-event the spread of the disease. WIND, BAIN AHD HEAT. Heavy Storms Reported From Many Towns In the Three Mates. Mansfield Valley, July 23. A peculiarly violent tornado of a limited kind, yesterday afternoon, struck the half mile of territory between Hills and Hastings stations on the Chartiers Valley railroad, six miles north or liere. Largo trees and telegraph poles were torn down, and many head of stock are re ported killed. Orchards were leveled, and the loss to small buildings and grains was juite extensive. All telegraphic communi cation was cut off for hours and travel de layed. At Butler a dazzling electric storm, ao conijiaiiied by the heaviest rain of the sea ton, deluged the streets. One dwelling was struck by lightning, and damage was done to crops in the vicinity. At McKeesnort, iu spite of showers, the heat was so intense that mills were obliged to shut down, and a number of prostrations were reported, fcimilar reports of heat and rain storms come from nearly all Ohio towns. At Wells ville small buildings were blown down and tho telegraph and telephone systems laid out. Tho town is in darkness to-night, PENNSYLVANIA EXTENSIONS. A Loop I.ine in Frospect, Connecting Mc Keesport Illi Jeannette. McJvEESroBT, July 23. It is tho general opinion here that the Pennsylvania road entertains the idea of following the Yongh iogheny river w ith its JIcKeesport line to a point up Long Hun, from which place it will continue with two branches one to go up the river and connect with the Sewickley branch, and tho other to cross the country to Jeannette. thus forming a loop from the main line at Brinton. At present the lino has been laid as far as the Wood plant, whence it will run to the Youghiogheny and up through "No Man's Land." w Inch seems to be ownerless. It is also geneiallv believed that the Pennsylva nuiwill cross the Baltimore and Ohio and Lake Erie by an overhead route. FITTSBTJBG ELECTBIC LIGHT. Tho liist Knd Plant the Best Seen by a Wheeling Committee. Wbeeliko, W. Va., July 23. Tho Wheeling Electric Light Commission have returned fiom their 4,300 miles jaunt over the country on a tour of mbpection of every large city that boasts of a complete electric light plant. The committee report that they are now- in posses-ion of information that will enable them to purchase an electric light plant for the cty with their eyes open. Their first stop, at the East End plant in Pittsburg, was rather unprofitable, as at that tune they knew nothing of what they saw. Now, that thevhavo had the experi ence, they remember that the Pittsburg plant was one of the smoothest-running and efficient that they had seen. CATHABINE GABGANO'S HITBDEBEB.

The Taqul Indians Keeping TJp Their Savage Fight In Old Mexico. Chicago, July 23. Unknown to the out side world a bloody war is raging in the mountains of Mexico. Such is the state ment of Liberato and Toranato Marcor, young Jlexican engineers who are in Chi cago. Hews of the conflict has hitherto been suppressed, it is said, because of its possible bad effects on intended immigra tion. It has generally been supposed that with the death of the leader of the Yaqui Indians, King Cajeme, the Indian wars in Old Mexico had ceased. Such is by no means the case. Thousands of them are strongly intrenched in the impassable mountains of Northwestern Mexico, and the troops which are stationed at all the towns along the Yaqui river are power less to reach them, or to protect the lives and property of the citizens. In bands of SO or more the Yaquis daily make unexpected descents upon the help less people of the plain. Fierce battles with the troops follow, but before the latter can accomplish anything the savages escape to their mountain hiding places with re newed supplies of food and ammunition, generally carrying with tnem, too, a num ber of helpless women whose fate is never known. This state of affairs is said to be daily growing more alarming. PABMEBS COBNEBING THE MABKET. The Alliance Movement to Hold Wheat for Better Prices in Progress. Washington, July 23. E. "W. Ayer, Secretary to President Polk of the Farmers' Alliance, and manager in this city of the "Reform Press Bureau," said this afternoon that the work of sending out circulars de signed to show the farmers of the country that it was to their advantage to hold back the wheat crop, was actively proceeding in this city, as well as in St. Paul, which was chosen as one of the seats of operation. He remarked that he could not say that it was the circular which had brought about the result, but he had noticed in a recent market report that the actual movement of wheat was 140 carloads less than had been es timated. Mr. Ayer said that the informa tion that the issue of such a circular by Alliance men was in contemplation became public prematurely about two weeks ago. A final decision to issue the circular had not at that time been reached, but it had since been finally determined upon. AN EXCUBSI0N OF DTJPED NEGB0ES. The Victims Taken Half Way, Then Mulcted for the Rest of the Trip. St. Louis, July 23. A Southern express car at the Union station is the present abiding place of an odd assortment of white and colored excursionists from Birmingham, Ala., who are packed in the car like sardines in a box. The excursion originally num bered about 400 people, who paid S10 and 55 for tickets to Chicago and St. Louis and re turn. The "excursion" was engineered by a white man named Packett and the notorious "Doc" Kennedys negro, who originated the financial hoax. When the party got to West Point, Miss., ?G00 additional was required to continue the trip, and 3 ahead more tor those intend ing to go on to Chicago when the party reached St Louis About this time the mental eyes of the majority of the dupes were unsealed, and they refused to pay. A few, however, paid the required $3 and started for Chicago The excursionists were promised work in Chicago and St. Louis at large wages. TENNESSEE DBOVEBS ANGBY. Tho Quarantine Regulations of Secretary Rusk Excite Their Ire. UASimtLE, July 23. Tennessee cattle dealers and growers are very much incensed over tho recent order of Secretary Busk, establishing quarantine regulations against Tennessee cattle except for immediate slaughter, and declaring to the world that a contagious and infectious disease known as splenetic fever exists in this and other Southern States. The statement, so far as it relates to Tennessee, is untrue, and, it is feared, will have the effect of destroying the cattle industry of the State if not modified. The Secretary also announces that all the Southern States are infected with Texas fever, and forbids any railroad carrying cattle from that district into Korthem States, except for immediate slaughter, from the 15th of Februaryto the 1st of De cember. The carrying of cattle is claimed to be surrounded by such vexatious quarantine regulations as to effectually kill the trade. PBEACHEB STTHEBLAND GUILTY.

Tlie July Crowds at Chautauqua Eclipse Any Similar Month. EDUCATORS' OFFICERS ELECTED. Borne Intercstinjr Historical Points Given Out by Lecturers. LIFE OP THE ANCIENT CHATJTAUQUANS rsPECIAli TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. Chautauqua July, 23 A heavy thunder storm this afternoon cut short the sultry weather of the past few days. A large dele gation of New York and Pennsylvania rail road superintendents arrived hero at noon from Buffalo, and were entertained in tho Amphitheater by muslo and reoitations. There has been the largest attendance du ring the month of July ever known in the history of the assembly. New cottages, which will accommodate at least one thou sand people, have been built since the close of the last assembly. Tho older cottages do not seem to suffer nny falling off in consequence of the build ing of so many new ones, as was feared by some might be tho case. It does not seem possible for Chautauqua to grow too rapidly for the people who wish to come here. The Amphitheater has been repeatedly filled,, which is altogether unusual in July. Programme of the Bay. This was the programme to-day: Woman's Club, "Conference" to the temple, led by Mrs. Emily Huntington Miller, lecture, "The Chautauqua Country in History," by Prof. F. N. Thorpe, of Philadelphia; lecture, "The Old Testament From an Assyrian Point of View," Prof. W. B. Harper; conference, "Bible Helps," Profs. Horswell and Weid nen pronunciation match, conduoted by Prof. B. L. Cumnock, of the Northwestern University, in the Ampnitnenier. Melville Newer, the Librarian of tho New York State Library, who was to have lec tured to-day, has been ordered abroad by his physician, and has been forced to post pone his visit to Chautauqua to another season. A letter from Mr. II. W. Raymond, Secretary Tracy's Private Secretary at Washington, Just received, announces his serious illness and Inability to meet his en gagement here next week. An attempt wiu be made to have his views of the navy ex hibited on one ot the evenings, so that Chau tauqua can have some idea of what Uncle Sam's vessels look like. Next Saturday afternoon the political equality clubs will meet at Chautauqua to bear the address of Mrs. Zorelda Wallaoe, mother or General Lew Wallace Tho Rev. Anna II. Shaw and Miss Susan B. Anthony will also be present and make short speeches on the genoral theme of the afternoon. Educators Fleet Officers.

"I wish I could spoil everybody then," re plied Mrs. Ewing, "for nothing will bring around the millennium quicker than tho proper preparation of food," And every body there wished tho millennium were at hand jf it brought such tempting viands as Mrs. Ewing can prepare. Quite an Interesting Lecture. Dr. Francis Thorpe's lecture, bearing on Chautauqua history, was intensely interest ing. For ten years Prof. Thorpe has been investigating the historical interests of the Chautauqua country the" fertile triangle comprising the country, Buffalo and Cleve land, Cleveland to Pittsburg, and Pittsburg and Buffalo early letters and newspapers; the conversations of aged persons; and the 1 historical wealth of the Buffalo Historical So ciety. The forester papers of the Pittsburg archives have been carefully consulted. Tho lecturer covered the period of the Chautauqua country on the eve of the sec ond war with England, and chiefly described the social and political life in Western Xow York, centering in Buffalo. Tha manners, customs and social life pre vailing in the Chautauqua country at the pcriodof the war of 1S12 were shown, and the westward movement of Xow England ideas and their modifications under the con ditions of pioneer life illustrated. Tho early settlers in the Chautauqua country were chiefly from Xew England, Eastern Xew York and Central Pennsylvania, and at tho present day there can be discovered through out that country from Buffalo to Cleveland and from Erie to Pittsburg their religious opinion, political ideas, social conditions, styles of architecture, systems of agricult ure, local names, peculiar idioms of speech, traditions and customs, directly traceable to the early institutions of the country. The Manners of the People. The lecturer traced these conditions and their effects through the last 90 years in the history of the Chautauqua country and dw elt particularly upon the early religious life of the community, the institution of the campmcctings, the curious land speculations preceding tho building of the Erie canal; the early Dutch maimers and customs; tho modification of Xew England federalism in Xew York; the economic condition of the time, labor, wages, handmanufacture.prices, stores; tho books that were read and the people who read them; styles of dress; tho crimes and misdemeanors peculiar to the times; the early newspapers; the lotteries for tho benefit of medical schools, of churches, of bridges and of roads; the evi dence of social excitement at the approach of the war; the politics at Washington and at Buffalo, and especially tho effect on the whole Chautauqua country of Jeffeison's embargo, and the social and political isola tion ot tho Chautauqua country from the eastern part of tho United States. Dr. Harper, in his lecture, said that the Assyrian material furnishes direct and indi rect testimony to the Divine origin of the Scriptures in the form of actual confirma tion of what the Scriptures affirm by expla nations and illustrations, furnished from a study of the monuments.
