Proposed Reduction of One Half In the
Rates of Elevator Storage.

Proposed Reduction of One Half In tho
Rates of Elevator Storage.
MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Aug. 1o-Sam-
uel Hill, president of the Eastern Min
nesota road, has created a stir among
the elevator men Of this section of the
northwest by the announcement that
rates Oh wheat in the elevators of the
Great Northern road at Duluth and
West Superior would be practically cut
In two. The railroad figures
that the reduction will be val
liable from the standpoint of
increased traffic. 1t il for the purpose
Of keeping the speculator out so far as
possible that the "forty-five day" stor-
age clause is inserted SO hat no clique
of option dealers can I'LL up all the ele-
vator capacity to the exclusion Of the
producer, Nj. Hill thinks the new Or
der OF things will affect the storage
rates on about so, 000, 900 bushels of
wheat the coming season and said he
had talked with several elevator men
In this city including G.. w. Vandusen
and W. II. Dunwoody. and that they
were in favor Of tho move on account
OF the great saving which would result
to the farmers In that state.

HILL IS TIRED OF DELAY
Offers a Resolution Requesting
Conferees to Report.
II They Can't Come TO an Agreement MO
Wants Them to Tell Why--Lsfd
Laid over TIL Tomorrow--
Vest IL Angry.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-In the senate
today Hill moved to request the con-
ferees on the tariff bill to report to the
senate II there was any hope OF an
agreement, and il not what 1t vas that
kept them apart.
Harris said that the conferecs had
not agreed upon the three items of coal,
iron and sugar, but If they conld agree
On them he believed the confsrees could
speedily agree on the rest OF the bill.
Allison suggested the better way
would be to instruct the conferees TO
report an agreement if they could, and
IL not to at once report a disagreement.
Senator Gray, dem, Delaware, OBJ
jected to present consideration of ths
resolution, but Hill contendcd that the
dabate had been proceeding for fifteen
minutes and Gray was too late.
Villas opposed consideration Of the
resolution.
Hill commended at some length that
the objection TO consideration Of tho
resolution could not be made after con-
sieratiou had begun on the merits Of
The resolution.
At the suggestion Of Vest the Hill
resolution was read to the senate and
Hill accepted Allison's amendment 10
have the conferoes report an agree
nient "or disagreement" The chair
ruled that the resolution wss not n
privileged matter. Then Vest created
some surprise by saying that as one OF
tn conferces he was heartily Ia favor
Of the resolution. He thought IL was
time that a calcium light should be
turned on the work Of the conferees.
He was tired Of hearing all these In
famous lies about the democratic mem
bers of the conference committee and
he proposed when the resolution was
considered tomorrow to tell some things
about that conference. This concluded
the debate and the chairman ordered
that the Hill resolution lie over until
tomorrow.
At 2 p. m. Cockrell, dem, Missouri,
moved an executive session. The mos
ton carried and the galleries were

Little shops apo the ways Of the big

One sees now and then a tiny 10 by 10
shop fairly hidden beneath hysterical
declarations that a great stock must be
sacrificed. Sometimes a shop that
could by no possibility hold more than
/ few hundred dollars worth of goods
announces a great clearance sale, when
) half hours rush such as the big shops
occasionally have would leave the place
