sion at present is that we can fill credit

why we should have less than any other

the lead in the field of inventions, and
we can do so again. l think the United
States will make q generous appropria-
ton. Appropriations from other coun-
tries are larger than ever before. When
ever we show Congress the desirability
of having the American eXhibitshold a
high place on the banks of the Seine
[ am sure a generous response will be
given.
''The exhibit of 1900 will be the great
est the world has ever seen. In spite Of
many difficulties, France did well in
1889. Then, though European countries
made respectable showings, the mon
archical Governments did not.enter into
the exhibition with enthusiasm Now
the republic is no longer cold-shoul-
dered. Germany joins in enthusiastic
cally. So do the other countries We
could not expect that European coun-
tries would have put forth as much
effort for US in 1893 as they will for
France in 1900. In fact, it required the
revelation that we made in Chicago to
convince the world that we could do it.
Next time they will all come'to us with
their best foot forward"

But The Thieves Got Only the Train Crews
Ya!uahIeS.
They Gut Off the Engine and Mail
Car and Left the Car With the
Express Safes Behind and Un-
harmed-The Safes Contained a
Large Amount of Money, Which
Escaped the Desperadces.

MOORHEAD (Minn.), Sept. 26.-The
west bound passenger train on the
Northern Pacific was held up three
miles north of here at an early hour
this morning. The express car carried
a large sum of money. which the rob-
bers failed to secure, owing to a blum
der in cutting off the cars. The rob
berry was the coolest piece of work
imaginable.
Engineer Hoover, just after pulling
out of Glyndon, noticed a man on the
front of the mail car. A few minutes
later the robber climbed over the tank
and at the point of a pistol told the
engineer to apply the brakes. The 9TH
er robbers came forward, bringing the
conductor and brakemen. The robber
sat on the tank and ordered the en-
gineer to keep moving. Not until the
train reached Moorhead was it known
that the engine and mail car had been
cut off from the balance of the train.
The other robbers discovered that they
had not cut deep enough into the train
to secure the express safes, and they
despoiled the crew of their watches
and money and escaped.

Miss Siemmering's reputation will be

union matters VIII be left alone during

discussion Of the best means Of securing
what the call denominates as "the in
alienable rights OF every citizens under
the Constitution. "
Mr.. Debs put it this way late tonight:
I am exceedingly pleased that the Sin
gle Tax League has taken the confer
enee in hand and viii do all I can to aid
in the work. I can be present only a
portion of the day. however, as must
leave for an Eastern trip in the interest
of the Social Democracy.
Il regret exceedingly that the Fedora
ton of Labor has not given the confer
ence its countenance. as it would have
added greatly to the success of the ses-
sion. Unfortunately the idea is pre-
valent that the object of the conference
as originally designed. was solely in the
interest of the mine workers. That
would have been practically a side issue.
There are matters of weightier and far
reaching moment TO come before the
body In my opinion. it is as equally
important as was the St. Louis con-
yention''

THE RYE CROP.
Tt VIII Fall About 100000
Bushels Short of the Estimate.

NEW YORK, Sept. ga disappoint-
ing rye crop is indicated by final re-
turns to the American Agriculturist
Instead of some 2S,000,OO0 bushels ex-
pected from earlier indications, the crop
of the United States now figures out
about p, ,000, 900 bushels, 1000, 900 more
than last year, and 100000 bushels less
than in 1895. and 1894
The increase is mainly in Pennsyl-
vania, the Western croD being quite
disappointing. Latest European crop
advices are confirmatory of serious
shortages in rye, especially in Russia
Germany's rye crop seems to be some
what larger than earlier reports indi-
cate, but reduced estimates for France
and other countries barely offset it. The
stocks of rye at home and abroad are
lower than for years and export demand
for American rye continues very active.
Except during the fall of 1895 and 1896,
rye has not been so slow as at present
since before 1890

tenant Peary said:
The Hope left Sydney at II o'clock
Wednesday morning and fortunately
missed the hurricane which has been
raging the past week. The 100-tOn
meteorite in the hold of the Hope fell
from the skies hundreds of years ago
and has been the source of iron supply
for the Esquimaux. 1 discovered it in
May, 1891, and since that time have
been trying TO secure it and bring it to
America. We have on board six Es-
quimaux-three men, one woman a
boy and a girl. They Will remain with
me here this winter TO arrange the eth
biological specimens and win go to the

people belong to the tribe from which
I shall select my colony next year"

Lieutenant Peary said:
Il consider the chief things accom-
plished were the arrangements with the
EsquimauX for my next years journey.
From this time out they will be secur-
ing furs and other skins for clothing
and have all in readiness for me next
year. so that within twenty-four hours
after my arrival there I shall be ready
to embrace the first opportunity to push
on toward the point / wish to reach.
Then the second event is the bringing
of the meteorite to this country. The
statements appearing in the papers
that We had discovered some gruesome
things about the hut of the Greeley
expedition is all nonsense. We found
no graveyard belongings. We found
conditions such that we could reach
the place where the Greeley expedition
made their camp, and although it was
August 23d, We found things inside the
hut covered several feet with snow. Our
party began to dig around and picked
up several buttons and piece Of wood
marked Norman the name of one of
the Greeley party-and several other

finds we made

til Thursday when We will make for the
