FARMERS HOLD THEIR GRAIN.
Nebraska Changers VIII Not Sell TIL
Prices Suit Them.

OMAHA, Neb., June 22.-Railway
traffic managers of lines operating in
Nebraska are agitated over business
complication which promises to mate
rally reduce the earnings of the vari-
Gus companies so far as the movement
of the present crop is concerned.
Since the usual arrangement to dis
tribute grain cars throughout the
State for the purpose of facilitating
the hauling of the crop after harvest it
has developed that under the new law
declaring all elevators public ware
houses SO much of the grain will be
stored to await better prices that COM
paratively a small portion of the crop
will be placed on the market at once.
The law becomes operative next week.
1t is a measure of the alliance legisla-
ture and that organization has actively
encouraged its members to resort to
elevators whenever possible and borrow
the money required for immediate ex-
penses on warehouse receipts, thus re-
serving the enormous crop of the state
from the market Indefinitely or until
prices have materially advanced.

A Rise of Two Feet Would Overflow

KANSAS CITY, June 22-The food in
tie Missouri reached this city last night
and the water now stands 23115 feet above
low water mark An additional rise OF
two feet would food the low lands and
cause great loss to property. the rise in
the Missouri has backed up the waters of
the Raw until they stand within 2 feet
of food tide
ST. JOSEPH, June 22.-The Missouri
river is higher than for several years and
is still rising. All work on the Kansas
shore has been abandoned. The rapidity
with which the surging waters are cutting
away the Kansas bank can best be imagin-
ed when it is stated that half acre lots Of
earth have been tumbIing iuto the river
ever since yesterday. This morn
ing workmen who came In
in from Beemen stated that the
neck of land which separates the river
north and south is less than quarter of
a mile wide. At the rate at which the
river is now cutting the land away it will
require but a short time to place Elwood
suburb on an island and leave st. Joseph
two miles from the river. This would
also leave st. Joseph's million dollar
bsidge standing over dry spot where
the river once wendell its way south,

GETTING READY FOR WAR,
France Is ssr.iging an Alliance with
EEE1ssil


PARIS, June 22.-The Conte de
Montebello, who replaces VI. de
LabOulaye as French ambassador at St.
Petersburg, will be specially charged
10 obtain definite information from the
Gar as to the action of Russia in the
event of war between France and Ger
many. NJ. Ribot, minister of foreign
affairs, has learned that NJ. de
Laboulaye's failure to get the proposals
for an alliance discussed arose
from the Cars anger at the
fact that the overture was first
submitted to M. de Giers, Russian
minister of foreign affairs, instead of
to him. The Gar ordered NJ. de Giers
to ignore the proposals for negotiations
and took the first occasion to snub de
Laboulaye, who felt compelled to ask
M. Ribot to relieve him of his duties.
The withdrawal of Baron Mohrenheim,
Russian ambassador at Paris. is immi-
nent, as NJ. de Laboulaye acted on his
advice. During the visit of the rench
squadron to ConStadt the Gar will be
personally approached on the subject
OF united action against the dreibund,
which Is rendered all the more neceS-
Sary through the nenaclng OF the COM
mercial coalition between the two cOun
tries.
The French ambassador to the Holy
See has presented to the pope a letter
from NJ. Carnot, in which the president

Transfer of the Anacon55 Mines.

New YORK. June ga San I,ancisco
dispatch was published yesterday in
which it was said that the famous Ana
conda copper mine, near Butte, Mon
tana, had been sold for S25, 00O,0 to an
English syndicate.
Mr.. Haggin, who was seen last night,
said positively there was not a word of
truth in the report and he did not know
whether the mine ever would be sold.
Marcus DAILY is reported to have said,
less than week ago, that there was
not money enough in the world to buy
the Anaconda mine.
The mine is at present shut down, as
the railroad which carried the ore has
increased freight charges SO greatly
that the owners refused to pay the
rates demanded. Mr.. Haggin said last
night he was at present having sur
vey mode and that he would possibly
build a railroad from Anaconda to
Butte, Mont.
