of San Francisco. Much Of it is dropped
off for storage and investment before
it reaches the East. Therefore. Phila-

follow the lead of Chicago in any up

The preliminary rise in prices is at
tributed more to shortage in the first
Japan crop than to the unsettled condi-
ton in China. The first Japan crop
was several million pounds short of the
average. and the second crop, which
has not been gathered yet, also threat

At the time of the China Japan war
there was a similar rise in prices but
1t was not caused by scarcity of supply
from China. They shipped just as

demands from country storekeepers

were frightened by newspaper accounts
of the war. Some Of them who bought

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Irregular CORRESPONDENCE
WAsUINoTON. July IN


For the first time prominent Off
cials are willing to admit the prob
ability of an extra session Of Con.
gross having to be called to deal
with the Chinese situation. With
all his assumptions of imperial au.
thority Mr.. Mckinley will not dare
to declare war, and a declaration of
war upon China by the other pow
ers whose citizens have been killed
may be expected any day. 1t has
been limited that MIR. Mckinley
would withdraw American troops if
the other powers declare war against
China and let the foreigners do all
tho fighting, but the American peo-
pie will have something to say about
that. The murder of a number Of
American missionaries has been
fully authenticated, and the people
are only waiting for authentic news
Of the fate of the American minis.
ter and other Americans in Pekin
who are believed also to have been
murdered. When they know that
tho people will let Mr.. Mckinley
know their will as they did about
the war with Spain, and ho and
Congress will obey, as they did
then.
The fact that an officer of the
Cuban Military Government-Mai.
+. L. Ladd, Treasurer-should
have given out an interview in
Washington, against the withdraw
al of the U. S. troops from Cuba
and fitness of the Cubans for self.
government, with tho usual rot
about the "better classes" being in
favor of permanent American con.
troll OF the island, strengthens the
suspicion that the announced with.
drawal of the U. s. from Cuba, was
made for effect in the political cam.
paign in this country rather than
with the intention of being carried
out in good faith. 1t is not con.
ceiyable that a subordinate army
officer would have allowed himself
to be publicly quoted, as Maj, Ladd
has done, if he had not known that
his sentiments were those held by
his official superiors.
The tendency Of this administra.
ton to follow the imperialistio pol.
icy of government without Con.
gressional authority, was again EN-.

phasized by the announcement ca
blcd from Madrid-getLiug news Of
what our government is doing from
foreign capitals, is not pleasing to
the average American, although it
has become quite prominent under
the Mckinley regime-that this
government had offered Spain $780,
900 for the two islands Of the Phil
ippine group which we're not COW
cred by the boundary line named
in the treaty Of peace with Spain.
1t is the theory Of this government
that the Executive branch can pay
out no money that has not been
specifically appropriated by Con-
gross for a particular purpose, but
that theory has been departed from
several times under the present ad
ministratiOn, beginning with the
lump sum of $4,000, 900 placed at
Mr.. McKinley's disposal to prepare
for the war with Spain. That de-
parture was justiliable under the
circumstances and was authorized
by the unanimous vote of Congress,
but there have been other depar-
lures which were neither justifiable
nor authorized, and this offer to
purchase more islands Is one OF
them. 1t was known last winter
that Spain had laid claim to those
two islands, but instead of referring
the matter to Congress, the admin
istration announced that Spain had
been notified that its claim would
not be recognized. That was sup
posed to have ended the matter,
until the Spanish government in
formed the world that this govern
ment had offered to pay 100000
for the islands. If Congress was
not republican IN both branches
and thoroughly dominated by the
imperial administration, it would
call down this unconstitutional
usurpation of authority, and de-
mand to know from what fund this
800, 900 is to be taken. There is
an Emergency fund at the disposal
Of the administration, but it is GER
tain that those who voted to appro-
pirate it never contemplated the use
of any portion of it for the purchase
of islands. If this republic is to
be preserved as established, q gov.
eminent must be put in power that
will follow the precepts laid down
by the Constitution, which the dem
ocratic platform pledges Bryan and
Stevenson to do. Senator Vest was
right when he declared that the
great issue of this campaign was re-
public or empire, with the demo-
cratic party standing for the repub-
lie and the republican party stand
ing for the empire.

survey Of the situation" said one
republican to another, "has been
an urgent request from him to tho

OBITUARY.

Died, July %, 1900, at his residence in
the Third district, HENRY GREEN
WELL, in the 9th year of his age, hay
ing been born Feb. II, 1907
About seven years ago a cancer de-
veloped on his nose, gradually growing
until it entirely destroyed his right eye.
Early on Wednesday morning last he
showed rapid signs of sinking, and
precisely at 1.15 o'clock death came
to his relief, taking from among US
truly good and pious citizen. In
politics he was always a Democrat,
and cast his first vote for Andrew
Jackson in the fall of 1928. In re-
ligion he was Catholic, not by name
only, but by practice Having received
all the rites Of his faith, he died in the
full hope of happy reward for all his
suffering, which must have equalled that
of job. Throughout the seven long
years of his torture and aiiliction, scarce
ly sigh or complaint escaped his lips.
He was. in fact, the best example Of
Christian fortitude and resignation to
the will of God ever known to the wri-
ter of this humble tribute, and it will be
his lifelong desire to initiate such an
example He possessed but little of the
goods OF this life, but his possessions
were Of infinitely more value to a Chris
tian soul, desire to do the will Of God in
all things. Ihave known him for thirty
eight years, and have never yet heard
any one say aught but that Henry Green

one who composed the District Board of
Trustees of "Beayer Dam" School, the
other four being JOS. S. Ford, J. Frcder-
