Now as to the matter complained of.

Is it true or false that the press and
people of Germany censured the United
States for the course adopted in dealing
with Spain and uttered many unfr.endly
things against us? Is it true or false that
;he war vessels of Germany alone ham

Is 1t true or false that friction over
tariff duties between the United States
and Germany has been growing for years
and that not being favorably situated to

Is It true or false that the colonial poll
icy OF Germany Is in harmony with that
of continental Europe and that that policy
would bar us from such markets in the
Orient as shall come within the sphere Of
influence Of Europe?
IL these things sre true, what would
our German American citizens have us
do? Would they have us send over for
some more music and paintings, and go on
selling AGENT cotton, 1919 cent corn and
silently witness a constant depreciation in
all values around US? Or would they not

Representatives OF the smelling and

held a conference yesterday all day IN
the office of the traffic manager of the

that line and the Canadian Pacific for the
purpose Of discussing and agreeing on ore
and mining products. freight rates east

points tributary to the Kootenal valley.
The Northern Pacific was not represent
ed It's receipts from this district, owing
to the course of it's westward line, are
small and the road has been accustomed
to turn over the task of rate making to
its two competitors, abiding by he result.
The Canadian Pacific was represented
by General Freight Traffic Manager Bos-
worth, Montreal; T. w. Peters, general
freight agent, Nelson, B. c., and W. /.
Machines. general freight agent at Win
nlpeg. The results of the conference Were
a common understanding on the rate
question and valuable suggestions both to
the railroads and the mining representa-
tives. No decision has yet been arrived
at and the question laid before the Great
Northern and Canadian Pacific will be
taken under advisement.
Speaking of the conditions in the Koot-
enai district, representative of the Ca
madam Pacific stated that at present the
larger part OF the ore shipments are
routed via the line which he represents.
The Great Northern owns the Spokane &
Nol thern, which gathers a large amount
Of business and receives ore at other
points, but owing to the fact that the ma
jority of the Western smelters handling
Canadian and Northern Idaho and Wash
ingOn mine products, are located north Of
the boundary line, works at Train and
Nelson, B. c., handle the major part of
the shipments, depriving American roads
of immense shipments which they would
receive if there were American smelters
TO care for the ore
The official was questioned concerning
his roads attitude to the proposed es-
Enlistment of smelling works at Spo-
kane and said:
THE Canadian Pacific will fight the
project to the end. We do not want
another smelter in American territory.
The present works north of the line are
able to handle all the ore produced and
are doing an immense business. The sug-
gestion of President Hill that a smelter
be constructed at Spokane is excellent
from his point Of view, and would, no
doubt, be of great benefit to the city.
Frankly, the Canadian Pacific will not
stand idle if any such attempt IS made
to secure larger part of the ore ship
ments by either the9Great Northern or
Northern Pacific. 1t is to our interest to
prevent the construction OF works inside
the territory of the American roads, for
they would cut into our business and
cause trouble all around to us.

George b. Harvey Made President of
Harper Brothers.


NEW YORK. Nov Isl. Henry Har-
per, vice president of Harper & Bros, an
uounces that at meeting of the direc-
tors today George B. Harvey, editor and
proprietor of the North American Re-
view was eFaSted president and managing
director of Harper & Rres. He added
that Mr.: Harvey bad purchased from the
shareholders a large interest in the COM
pany--lh gaRiza tIeR- as completed at

dent, Clarence w. McIlVaine; secretary,
James Harper; treasurer, Heny s. Har-
Per, and directors il addition to the Of
fcers above named, H. R. Harper and
James R. Harper.
The changes consist of the substitution
of Mr.. Harvey as president in place of
john w. HARPER, ' no becomes first vice
president, and the retirement of John
Harper, whose condition of health makes
it impossible for him to attend to bust
ness. Mr.. Harvey enters upon his duties
on Monday.
Mr.. Harper declined to state the terms
under which Mr.. Harvey becomes the
head Of Harper & Bros. 1t was learned,
however, from another source, which
there is--every reason to believe is au-
thoritativaf-t that Observation-Disclosures sold a
large block of stock which as appraised

Harvey at sl5Q, per share The exact
amount of stock purchased by him could
not he ascertafned, but was said to be
in the vicinity of $fs0dOs0G8 par value.

that when the time camecto put the sug>
gested Consolidation into effect, the lines

STEAMER SUNK.
COnestOga, of Anchor Line,
Wreck in Chicago Harbor

COnestOga, of Anchor Line, a
Wreck in Chicago Harbor.
CHICAGO, Nov. 16.-The steamer Con-
-estoga, of the Anchor line, sank at the
mouth of the harbor early this morning,
after a race for life The steamboat,
bound into Chicago from Buffalo, in the
dense fog that hung over Lake Michigan,
ran into the halfway crib a mile and
half out from the harbor entrance, and
a great hole was stove in the bow The
beat commenced to I'LL with water fast,
and there was a disposition to rush for
the boats. But the captain gave orders
to turn on all steam and make a quick
run for the harbor, and commanded the
men to stand at their posts.
The Conestoga was settling fast, and
her speed was diminishing greatly before
half the distance to the piers at the
mouth of the harbor had been traversed.
AS the mouth of the harbor was gained
foods of water poured into the fire hold,
drove the stokers up the ladders to the
deck, and at last extinguished the fires in
the boilers The Conestoga came to a
stop as her keel rubbed hard in the mud
at the bottom of the harbor entrance,
and she settled fast. The water did not
reach the upper deck and the crew were
safe.
The steamer was loaded at Buffalo, and
carried freight from Eastern points. 1t
is thought that the loss on the cargo
alone will be in the neighborhood of $780,
000
The Conestoga lies easily in twenty
three feet of water, and unless a severe
storm arises, will probably be saved.
The steamer carried a heavy decl1load
of freight, and this Is practically unlam-
aged. Divers were put to work today re-
pairing the big, hole in her bow. caused
by the collision

The Storm Lake line, as shown on the
new maps, indicates forcibly It's value as
a connecting line to- Omaha. From Storm
Lake the Illinois Central has a westerly
line direct. At St.. James the Omaha
crosses the branch, while the Milwaukee
connects at Sherburne, the Burlington at

which is being held in st. Louis to con-

chants of that city with regard to West

himself as of the opinion that the st.

consideration. The request Is for rates
slightly more favorable to California
than those granted by the northern coast
lines to Pacific coast points, after the ses-
sion held in st. Paul in the summer. The
Northern Pacific and Great Northern are
neutral in the fight, having refused to be
committed to either side OF the argument.
