A journey of 7,000 miles to Hong Kong to marry girls they will see for the first time on their wedding day has been begun by Moy Bock Quong and Moy Bock Tom, sons of Charlie Toy, proprietor of a Shanghai chop suey restaurant on Second street. The brides, who are daughters of wealthy Hong Kong merchants, were arranged for by Mr. Toy. dealing entirely with the girls' parents, says the - -- - - - 1 -- j? ?a Norfolk Ledger, me unues auu unucgrooms had nothing to say about the matter until they were informed that preparations for the nuptials l$d been made. Mr. Toy in searching for desirable girls for his sons remembered two girls whose parents he had known in Hong Kong. A "go between" was chosen to carry messages between Mr. Toy and the girls' parents. A diviner was consulted who discovered by means of astrology, the flight of bird6 and other signs that the unions would be happy and the wedding day was set. The betrothal of a Chinese couple is not considered made until the wedding day is set. After the day is chosen the bride has her face shaved, calls in her friends and mourns until the wedding day. The two young men sailed from Vancouver this week on the ship Empress of China. As soon as they arrive in Hong Kong the ceremonies for the wedding of Moy Bock Tom, the older of the two boys, will start. The wedding gifts of tablets, bearing suitable inscriptions, and geese are sent to the bride's parents. Wild 1 3 ? " a?^K1 geese are loogeu uyuu <*s cmuicmaucal of conjugal harmony. Domestic geese are symbolic of fidelity. On the first day of the ceremonies the bride will be put in a sedan chair adorned with festoons and artificial flowers. The baggage of clothes and ornaments will be carried by servents. They will also carry lighted flambeaux. Relatives and friends follow, the nearest relative carrying the key to the bride's chair. When the procession reaches Moy Bock Tom's house he will be given the key to the chair. When he unlocks the door it will be the first glimpse the bride and bridegroom will have of each other. He will lead her to a table set for two. The company will be led to other tables, the men sitting on one side and the women on the other. The bride spends the rest of the day with her women friends and the bridegroom will treat his friends in a separate apartment. The next day they will return to bend knee to the family gods and pay respects to their relations. On the third day the bride will visit her parents in a chair made by the bridegroom especially for the occasion. The visiting will continue for about ten days when the ceremonies will be concluded by a feast given by the parents of the bride. As soon as Moy Bock Tom's wedding is over, that of his younger brother will be started. A few weeks later they will return to the United States with their brides. Moy Bock Quong, who has been in engineering in the Armour Institute in Chicago, has one more year before he completes his course. He expects to finish in 1914. Moy Bock Tom, who has been in Xey Tory will take charge of his father's business in Milwaukee. He will probably be joined by his brother after he finishes his work at school.

FIVE VESSELS ARE ICE B()U\I>. I Fleet of Canadian Explorers Imprisoned Among Icebergs. Nome, Alaska. Sept. 26.?The t'our-masted schooner Transit is a total wreck on the shore off Point Barrow. where she was driven by the ice and five other vessels are imprisoned in the ice in the same neighborhood. Capt. J. B. Backland, owner and navigator of the Transit, and his crew of seven, are on their way to Nome in a launch.

While the five imprisoned vessels are in danger of meeting the same fate as the Transit, no fear is felt for the safety of those on board, as it would be easy to leave at any time over the ice. WAS PIRATE FIGHTER. Standard Oil Man Tells of Six Years in Chinese Service. A man arrived at the Waldorf yesterday who spent six years looking for pirates and smugglers in the Far East. He is J. J. Rule, an American, who is assistant manager for the Standard Oil company at Canton, China, and under the imperial government he held the rank of mandarin of the sixth class. This was awarded him as a result of a fight on the West river some years ago, when he helped fight and capture a lot of pirates who were about to seize a river steamer. Mr. Rule has lived in southern ~ i ? yo n n A o trnn/1 nort <~kf X i > cai o, auu c*. 5wu v v*. that time he spent in the Chinese customs service. He speaks Chinese fluently. He says he would feel as safe in the interior of China, even, during a revolution, as anywhere else in the world, because a foreigner who speaks the language and knows Chinese customs is secure when traveling in the country away from the seaboard. "I left Canton the latter part of May," said Mr. Rule yesterday. "That was, of course, before the latest troubles came up. Business at that time was about normal, considering the state of affairs that then existed. "Pirates on the Pearl river? Well, they call them pirates, but they are hardly pirates of the old school, such as used to prowl about the coast of China. You see, a gang of them get some inside information that a certain steamer is carrying treasure, and they get on the boat as passengers at some port; and then, after overpowering the crew and beaching the craft the pirates take to the shore and scatter all over the province. It is next to impossible to run them down collectively. "I had to come into contact with some of those fellows when I was in the Chinese customs service. I was on duty up the West river for five years, and then for a year and a half I was on the frontier back of Macao. That is where most of the smuggling is done, and we had to keep a sharp lookout for opium coming in and also for junks going out loaded with contraband grain. We" had a mixed guard of Indians and Chinamen at first, and they used to say that one nationality was employed to keep the other awake. But since the dispute with Portugal over the boundary of Macao I understand they have come to employ only Chinese. "Things happened in those days, but the hottest time we had with the pirates was at Samshui, when I was on duty up the West river. A lot of cut-throats had gone on board a steamer at Wuchowostensibly as passengers bound for Hongkong. We had word that they intended to take possession of her, so the Chinese harbor master and I with a small force of men, went on board to arrest them. As we reached the steamer, the pirates opened fire and there was quite a little shooting within a few minutes. We killed two of them and wounded one, but the harbor master was wounded. However, we captured 14 men. The harbor master receiver the decoration of mandarin of the fifth class, and at the same time I was made a mandarin of the sixth class. This would have been of a lot of use to me had I remained in the service. The fight lasted only about 10 minutes, for we were soon surrounded by gunboats, and there was no way for the pirates to escape. "I like Canton better as a place of residence than Hong kong, because from it, it is easy to get into the ri/Mi r> t Vi*-**-/-* /\ri 1 i? ni Orll t A r nin A iirumi*. ^ ua v c uui%> cifeiit kji inxx^ Americans in Shameen, the foreign concession.

Will Probably Aggregate Seven Hu dred and Fifty Million Bushels. Of the 2,300 million bushels corn which it is believed will 1 husked from the growth of 1913 the United States, not less than 75( 000,000 will be the Southern cro The latter will constitute near $600,000,000 out of the $1,600,00( OUU total value 01 American cum m year. These results are indicated 1 the preliminary report in the Atlan publications, Orange Judd Southe: Farming. It says the prospective b crop is due to greatly increased acr age and higher average yield p acre. The season in the Southeast was i favorable to corn that the yield w average 22 bushels per acre, or som what more than in previous years, the Southwest, the yield of 14 bus els per acre is slightly more than tx years ago, compared with 20 la year. The total crop of the Southwest : therefore, expected to be very clo to 600,000,000 of bushels, or abo 100,000,000 more than last year two years ago. The drought in tl Southwest was so serious as to mal this year's crop of 166,000,000 on about the same size as two years ag compared to 239,000,000 last yes The South, as a whole, will mal fully 750,000,000 of bushels tl year. This is slightly in excess last year's bonanza total, but ov 100,000,000 more than two yea ago. South Carolina's crop of 2,300,0< acres is slightly more than last yea according to Soutnern r arming s pr liminary report. The yield now loo like an average of 20 bushels p acre, compared to 18 two years a; and the same last year. The tot amount of corn produced in Sou Carolina this season will be abo 4 5.000,000 bushels, which is 12,00( 000 more than two years ago, coi pared with 34.000,000 last year. B corn may be worth an average of ! cents a bushel this year, compan to 85 and 91 the past two years, this case. South Carolina corn w make a crop worth $4 3,000,000 coi pared with $29,000,000 and S3 0,00( 000 annually for two previous year TOTAL LOSS OF OHIO FLOODS. Weather Bureau Estimates Cost $16:5,000,000.
