MUCH MONEY F0R FARMERS.
a Million Dollars a Day Sent Gut BY
Chicago Banks to Hep Move
the Bio Grain Crops.

CHICAGO, ILL, Sept AT low esti-
mate million dollars day is the amount
of money that is being sent out by the
banks OF Chicago to help farmers move
the big grain. crops which they have be-
gun to harvest. Fifteen million dollars i s
c,ose approximation to the sum which
has been sent to the West and South west
during the past two weeks, and yet the
movement has only begun. 1t shows
signs of growing in strength every day,
and before the month is at an end bankers
will not be surprised to see two or three
times as much currency leaving their cof-
fers as is going at the present time.
All of this money will get out into the
country among the farmers. 1t will be
added to the sums drawn from smaller
banks in Western towns, the stores of
which have been reduced as low as the
bankers are willing TO have them, and it
will be ready for the farmer to use in pay
ing off his mortgages, in laying in his win
ter supplies of provisions and adding to
his mechanical equipment, and in pur.
chasing luxuries of which he has been
forced to deprive himself in past years and
which are his daily tsstim onials of re-
newed prosperity.

FRANCE RkMEMBERS SED6R.
Press and Fubhc Becoming More
ReSoiute Since the Franco
Russian Treaty.

PARIS, FRANCE, Sept. The attitude
of the French press and public toward
Germany is distinctly more resolute than
it was before the Franco Russian alliance
was announced. Various rumors concern
ing the Governments intentions are in
circulation.
Among others is one to the effect that
upon the reassembling Of the Chamber
of Deputies NJ. Hanotaux, Minister of
Foreign Affairs, Will make an i'm portant
speech on the subject of the alliance,
which will be in the nature of a manifesto
and will reveberate through the country,
and that the Cham ber will immedia ately
aG jouin without transacting any further
business.
1t is also reported that the Government
intends to dissolve the Chamber and ap-
peal to the country in the assurance that
the popularity of NJ. Meline's Cabinet is
so great that the whole radical opposi-
tion will be swept away.
The effervescence is apparently due TO
the German celebration of the anniver-
sary of Sedan day.
BERLIN, GERMANY, Sept. 2-The ami
versary of the battle of Sedan was cele-
brated here with much less enthusiasm
than usual. the evident desire being to di-
vest the anniversary OF all elements irri-
tatlng to France.
Flags.are flying from the public build
ings and school children were given holi-
day. Still smarting under the compile
ton of the Franco-RussIan alliance, most
of the leading Germ an papers embrace
tue opportunity to convey 10 France a
hint that she must abandon any idea of
the restoration of Alsace- Lorraine.

Their Executive Branch
Fails to Reach a
Conclusion.
Miners Board Rejects the
Rate Offer of the Pittsburg
Operators.
II Is the Intention OF the Strikers
to Close the North Side
Galleries.

COLUMBUS. OHIO, Sept. 2. - The
National executive board of the United
Mine-workers has adjourned till to-mor-
row without resching conclusion on the
proposition of the Pittsburg operators
The board had stormy session this after
noon, and there appears to be decided
difference of opinion among the me m bars
as to the best course to pursue. The
proposition OF the Pittsburg operators
applies specifically to that district, but in
effect all other districts are concerned.
The proposition is that the Pittsburg
operators shall retu- n to work at 64-cent
rate pending arbitration, the conditions OF
the arbitration to be that the rate for
mining shah not be fixed at more than 50
cents ton nor less than 60 cents.
Under such conditions the miners main
tain that they would probably not secure
through arbitration mors than 65 cents.
None of the me m bera will discuss the
situation and the proceedings of their
meeting have been guarded with the ut
most secrecy.
Separate sessions were held tonight by
the National executive board OF miners
and the com mittse of the Pttsburg opera
tors. The miners board agree 10 reject
the proposition of the operators. 1t ap-
pears that the price to be paid for machine
mining is the principal Stumbling block
The operators agree to pay halt the price
OF pick mining for machine mining and
the men demand two.thirds.
The men will offer no co1nter-proposi-
tion and the operators committee IS not
empowered to make a new one. Another
joint conference will be held tomorrow.
PITTSBURG, Pa, Sept. 2.-Judging
from surface indica tions IL seems reason
ably certain that President Ratchfcrd of
the United Mine workers and his col
leagues in office will reject the offer of the
operatorsto return to wor at the 6f-cent
rate pending arbitration. Great influence
has been brought to bear upon the strike
leaders from this district to induce them
to assume such an attitude. The senti.
ment among the miners here is solid for
69:cent rate or nothing. All the local
labor leaders here have advised strongly
for cor tinuation of the fight along the
present lines TO the bitter end.
HAZELTON, Pa, Sept. 2-The strik-
ing miners held a meeting at McAdoo to-
night and decided 10 continue marching
through the region in the morning. They
intend stopping all the collieries on the
north side.
