ITS PURPOSE.

140 OSE.

session for five days. The explicit pur-
pose of the congress, as expressed by
the executive committee, is to discuss
all questions affecting the interests of
the people in the foregoing territory
(from the Mississippi to the Pacific),
which may be the subject of legisla-
ton by the United States congress, and
to express to it, through resolutions and
otherwise, the sentiments of the west
ern people. It will also endeavor to
take such steps for the presentation of
these resolutions to that body as will
command it's attention and action.
The trans-Mississipp commercial cor
gress Is described as the great result of
the consolidation Of various western
non-political or commercial conventions,
which have been in existence from time
to time, but which have gradually merg
ed into this one great organization. In
stead OF holding separate conventions up
on all western questions, it has now be-
will be the demands Of one congress voic-
ing the general sentiment Of the people,
as developed in forum which is not in
the interest of any one subject. The most
important subject that will be discussed
are Irrigation of Arid Lands" 1.-The
Hawaiian Question" Nicaragua Canal"
"Bimetallism," CONSTRUCTION and I'M
provement of Waterways and Deep Water
Harbors,' Trans Mississippi Freight
Tariffs and Determinations" Rail and
Water Communication Between Western
Cities and the Seaboard," "Construction
and Maintenance of Levees on the Mis-
sissippi and Tributaries" "a National
Bankrupt Law" Restriction of Immigra-
sion," Admission Of Territories to State
hood" and Disposition Of Public Lands"
The officers of the congress are: George
@. Cannon, president, Salt Lake City,
Utah; Charles f. Weller secretary, Oma-
ha, Neb.; John e. UT, assistant secretary,

yer, Hon. w. J. Bryan Of Nebraska, and
many of our most prominent business men
In this section of the country.
The discussion Of political questions has
been eschewed by previous congresses,
but the silver issue, which has invaded
the realm of politics since the last con-
gress. is certain to come up in one form
or another, and a battle royal between the
friends and opponents of free coinage is

PEACE TREATY RATIFIED.

 GULF TO MAKE ANY CHANGE.

Germany, France and Russia Give Advice
 to Japan to Renounoe the Final and Ab-
 solute Possession of the Peninsula of Liu
 Tong.
 London, April 26.-The latest and most direct information from authoritative sources as to the precise status of the negotiations between Russia, France, Germany and Japan received here is as follows: The Russian, French and Ger man ministers separately interviewed the Japanese vice minister for foreign affairs under instructions from4thefr re- spectivef governments and presented memoranda in which it wasstated that the government of Russia, France and Germany. upon examining the terms of peace imposed by Japan upon China, found that the possession of the penin- sula of Liu Tong, claimed by Japan, would be a constant menace to the cap ital of China and at the same time would threaten the independence of Cora and render in ineffective in fact.
 In this sense and for other reasons it was stated 1t would be a menace to the permanent peace of the far east. Con- sequently the governments of France, Russia and Germany desiring to show their sincere friendship for the govern ment of Japan, advised 1t to renounce the absolute and final possession of the peninsula of Liu Tong. The memovan- da of the three governments make 1t plain that they were presented in the way of friendly advice to the Japanese government and were not intended .n amy way to convey any open or covert menace.
 The impression is gaining. ground that Japan can rely upon the frfendly coun- SCI of the United States at the present moment. The governments of Great Britain and Italy have made it plain that they do not intend to follow the example Of Russia, France and Germa- ny and the great cof11mercG interests of the United States in the far east, which the Japanese Chinese treaty of peace would largely benefit, no less than the constant attitude toward Japan, lead diplomats to believe the United States at this juncture will not fail to make such a use of it's good offices as will prevent Japan from being deprived of the fruits of her victory.
 The treaty of peace has already been ratified by the Emperor of Japan s.a'd it would be extremely difficult ta make any change. The only effect of Rus sia's, Frances and Gernaifys s attitude must be to encourage the party in Chi- na which Is opposed to any moderate and reasonable settlement and thus to prolong the war indefinitely. It may be stated in the most positive terms that the reports thus far circulated regard- ing Japans reply to the powers are in correct.

 New York, April 26.-Bradstreets to- morrow will say; The feature of the week is the continued strength of prices of staples after the striking ad- vances of preceding weeks Perhaps the most relentless advance has been in hides 2 cents within ten days from 4 cents to 10 cents from the lowest point Bessemer pig iron and steel bil- lets are practically unchanged in prices with demand on the whole rather less, but prices are firm.

 ed without strikes. As most of these who struck for, received higher wages, fully 75,000 industrial operatives appear to have had their wages advanced since the beginning oe April.

FRAUD ORDERS ISSUED.
Postmasters Are Notified to Stop Mail
 Matter.


 Matter.
 Washington, D. C., April 26.-The legal relation between a, publisher and subscriber to his publication or a person who receives the publication is a matter still vexing the postal author ities. In an opinion recently rendered by him Assistant Attorney General Thomas for the postofF1ce department stated in general terms that a person who took paper from the mails or received 1t from the carrier was liable to the publisher for the subscription price. It was qualified in various ways, but the statement has been taken out of the contevt and is being adver- tised as the law.
 In response to a request from First Assistant Postmaster General Jones, MT. Thomas to-day rendered a supple mentary opinion. He says;
 "Iyhe relation between a publisher and his patrons, so far as the liability of the latter for the subscription price of the publication is concerned is com tractlal only and each case at last must depend on it's own facts. The whole question revolves itself into one of intention on the part of the pub fisher and addressee and no general law can be formulated that can be ap- plicable to all cases.
 MT. Thomas to-day issued fraud or ders against the Publishers Collection Agency, which continues to use the so- called newspaper laws" to force col lections. Postmasters at St. Paul, Minn., Pittsburg, Pa, and Chicago, H., where the company has offices, were notified to stop its mail matter.
