SEALING CLAIMS
Lansing Argues the Case for the
United States

HALIFAX, N. S.. Sept. 15.-Mr. Lam
sing again had the floor today before
the Bering sea commission. He endeav-
ored to show how difficult 1t was to cap
ture seals and how much speculation en-
tered into the business.
Speaking of the length Of the season,
Mr. Lansing said there were only two
instances in the British case from 1886
to 1890 in which seals were taken in Sep
tember. This fact must be taken in to
consideration when estimating the
catch, as the long season has been taken
as a basis by the British counsel in pre-
pairing claims. He then took up the ar
gument of the United States relative to
the value Of vessels. The United States
claims that the original method of COM
putting damages used by Great Britain
was to consider the returns from actual
sales of vessels. Now the basis was the
actual cost. On this point he charged
the counsel of Great Britain with a
change of front He contended that
evidence had been submitted by Great
Britain as to the price received from
sales. and therefore the intention of that
country to follow out that line of argu-
ment was clearly outlined He cited
many cases to show the price received
for sealing vessels at Victoria.

A DREADFUL DROUGHT
PREVAILS IN MIDDLE WESTERN
STATES
Crops Are Drying Up, Cattle Dying
and the People Are Praying for
Rain

CHICAGO, Sept 15.-Illinois, Indiana
and Iowa are parched. Until last even
ing Kansas was in the same condition,
but rain came. Weather Bureau men
say grateful showers are due in the
other States in few days.
In Southern Illinois the temperature
has averaged 30 degrees for twelve days
past. Northern Illinois and Chicago
reached an unusually heated period for
so late in the season. Corn is being de-
stroyed In all the Egyptian country. and
no such record has been made in heat
and drouth since September, 1879.
The Sangamon, Mackinaw and Ver-
million rivers are nearly dry, and the
cattle on thousand hills are dying for
want of water.
In Indiana no drop of moisture has
fallen for two months; the corn is being
buried to death; the pastures are as in
flammable as powder, and prairie fires
are raging. All over Northern and East
ern Indiana prayers for rain are being
offered in all the churches.
Iowa has had an average Of nearly 80
degrees for ten days past. and never
before has there been such suffering in
September Public schools are closed in
many towns; workmen are forced to
quit toll. and prayers for rain are going
up on every hand
In Ohio also public schools were closed

and watching every newspaper and
weather bulletin for the promise of a
downpour. Farmers are anxious, fruit
growers are downcast. and the people

Two deaths and several prostrations
are reported today as the result of the
excessive heat. The humidity is very
high and hot southwest wind is blow

A KANSAS RAIN
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept. 15.-The
Kansas drought has apparently been
effectively broken. Specials to the Star

Hiawatha and other points, say heavy
rains fell late yesterday and last night,
putting the ground in fine shape for
further seeding and doing inest ina BILE
good to wheat.
RAIN IN INDIA
LONDON, Sept. 16-The correspond
ent of the Tines at Simla says: Splen-
did rains have fallen during the last
few days over wide area, especially in
the Punjab. This assures a bounteou
harvest. The rain is worth millions of
rupees in the country and a fall of
prices must shortly occur. India should
have surplus of wheat for export a
few months hence, the crops being ex-
ceedingly good.

Closet
MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Sept. 15.-The
ninth annual convention Of the Associa-

order today by President David S. Hen
drick Of Washington, who delivered his
annual address. He said:
"The two great problems which de-
mand the earnest and thoughtful con-
the evils OF rebating and state regula-
ton. Through the influence Of this as
alton, rebating is on the wane and
will soon be thing of the past If each
man will do his duty. 1t only needs sin
cere cooperation to forever Danish this
skeleton in the closet AS for state
versus national regulation, neither the
public nor the agents have as yet real
lied the vastness and Importance of
this question. The subject should be
studied carefully, as it will at no distant
date demand solution. While the offic-
ials of the leading companies have not
committed themselves, they are fully
alive to the Importance of this problem.
When we consider the ineffectiveness of
state supervision and the abuses to
which 1t Is liable it would seem that
federal regulation is a necessity.
AS we all know, in several instances
state officials have openly and wantonly
abused the power which was entrusted
to them, seeking to advance their own
interests at the cost of the policy-hold-
ers whom they are elected or appointed
to serve"

Bryan Talks Hard Sense to Missouri
Crowd

SEDALIA, Mo-, Sept. 15,--Wm. J..
Bryan spoke to nearly $4,000 people at
the fair grounds today. Mr.. Bryan said
among other things:
Those who have suggested the burn
ing of property or the destruction of
life as means of settling the labor dis
putes do not understand the genius of
our institutions. The American people
are law-abiding people. When laws
are bad they will change the laws. Lin
coin was right when he said that no one
could better be entrusted with the en-
forcemert of the laws than those who
toll.
The injunction has been called in to
aid the suppression of strikes, and since
the strike is al present the only weapon
of employees, the injunction becomes
the most useful means by which the
employers can force their own terms on
employees. Legislation, and legisla tion
alone, can remedy this evil"
