ranging Inspections.

Kansas City, Nov. 11.-Through their
secretaries yesterday, the Nebraska
and Oklahoma Grain Dealers associa-
tiOns arranged to cooperate with the
Kansas association through it's bureau
for checking weights of shipments at
Kansas City elevators. More than 1000
grain firms, shippers to the Kansas City
market, have made preparations to use
the bureau established by the Kansas
Grain Dealers association ten days ago.
Kansas has AS firms out Of 500 regular
grain shippers in the state, members
Of the association. Nebraska has 261,
representing SOB elevators. The Missouri
and Iowa Grain Dealers union of North
western Missouri and southwestern.
Iowa, has 240 members. Practically
every receiver in the Kansas City board
OF trade has Joined in the movement
to Systematically record every car of
grain that is offered for sale in Kansas
City. and thus encourage grain deal
ers to patrOnize this market.
The ShOrt-Weight question is forever
settled in Kansas City" said Secretary
r. j. Smiley, of Concordia, last night.
"Other cities may continue to wrestIe
with the problem in the old way, while
Kansas City gives the grain men absO-
lutte assurance of full measure and quail
ity due him"
The official Kansas board met with
A. H. Bewsher. secretary of the Ne
braska association, and w. r. Brinkley,
secretary of the Oklahoma association,
last night of the Savoy hotel, and COM
pleted arrangement for theirrepresenta-
ton in the Kansas City bureau. One
checkman was appointed from both Ne
braska and Oklahoma
The board elected three other expert
enced elevator men from Kansas towns
as checkmen. It will meet to consider
other applicants. Fourteen checkmen
are now at work at the elevators in this
city.
The Kansas directors will meet here
the first Monday in December. The
awakened interest in cooperation among
grain shippers was shown in the enthusi-
astic meeting of the national associa-
ton in Chicago last week. The mem
bers of the official board are N. B.

SPANISH ONIONS.
The Outflow Toward America Has
Again Set in.

Washington, Nov. 11-An encourag-
ing sign for the future as far as pros
poets OF continued peace are concerned.
IS the report Of the state department
from United States Consular Agent
AIertens, at Grao, on trade conditions
in eastern Spain. He says that COM
merciar affairs are in a more promising
condition. business activity is noticeable
and confidence seems to be estored.
A signal fact noted by the consular
agent is the abolition by the Spanish
government of the war tax of 21R per
cent on exports. The effect Of that tax
was only to hamper trade, without
special benefit to the treasury.
The returns of exports for Septem Der
indicated that greater activity, and, as
the export taxes is collected on these
goods, hopes for improvement in the
shipping trade during the coming sea-
son are well founded. Heavy ship
ments of Spanish onions are reported,
including 10000 crates and as these are
packed entirely for the American mar
ket, Mr.. Mertens says it is a pity that
they could not be shipped direct as the
shipments by England must have
increased the cost Of this vegetab bic. He
sees a large opening for American ex-
ports in Spain, particularly tobacco, Pc
trOleum and slaves.

That is What the President Proposes
to Pay for the Philippines

TO ray IOr the En11lpp1uGS.
New York, Nov. IA dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says:
Instead of paying Spain $40, 900 900 as
an indemnity for the cession of the
Philippine Islands to the United States.
President Mckinley intends to rein-
burse her only for the debt of about ST.
000,0 contracted for public improve
ments. President Mckinley and his
cabinet have carefully noted that the
sentiment expressed throughout the
country by the elections has been in Op-
position to the suggestion to indemnify
Spain to the extent first proposed. AS
was put out by the administration auth
critics, it was intended to give the cap
ttal of the entire debt fOated, with the
Philippine ISLANDS as security and
amounting to $40, 900, 900. What will be
paid by the United States, according to
the present intention of the president,
is the debt contracted by Spain for the
establishment of lighthouses, harbor
improvements and public buildings All
told, this does not amount to a very
large sum. being fixed at about 81, 600 600.
Friends of Spain in the diplomatic corps
say that it is an outrage for the presi-
dent to offer such a small sum. Per
haps it would be the best thing for
Spain if she should rid herself of the
Philippines" said one of these gentle
men, "but surely it is not right that the
United States should satisfy only a
small portion Of the debt, leaving her
with the remainder on her hands and
with a low treasury to meet it.
It is not believed in official circles
here that Spain will withdraw her COM
missioners from Paris. She has no de-
sire to lose the Canary islands and she
is apprehenstve that in case of a re-
sumption of hostilities. the American
government would seize and perhaps
hold them.
A high administration official says
that in case of the withdrawal of Span
ish commissioners, the United States
government would complete the militia
~ occupation of the Philippines and
would take such other steps as it might
deem advisable for the protection of
this country's rights in the far east.
From Mr.. Day, the officials have
learned that the American commission
ers yesterday presented the reply to
the Spanish refusal to surrender the is
lands and 1t is expected that now the
administration has been endorsed by
the country the Spaniards will appre-
ciate the hopelessness Of their position
and accede to the demands of this gov
ernment.
