FOUR CONVENTIONS
All the Idaho Politicians Are Busy
 Today.

Pocatello, Idaho, July 17.-Idaho is today the scene of the unusual event of four political conventions on one day The republicans are meeting in. Boise City and the democrats, populists and silver republicans in this place. Each party is holding a separate convention. The object of calling the three to meet here is to bring about a fusion for presidential electors, if not the state ticket. The leaders favor complete fusion with but one ticket for con- gressional, state and legislative offi- cers, while the rank and file are op- posed to such a hnove It is doubtful if the leaders will be able to carry out their plans

JOUR GERMAN TRADE
Arrangements Made Under the
 DingIey Law
The Concessions Made by the United States Will Greatly Increase In terchange of Commodities Meat Exporters Will Be Benefited.

Washington, July 1.-The new com mercial arrangement with Germany under the reciprocity clause of the Dingley law will be officially promul- gated as soon as it is receives the sig nature of President Mckinley. The concessions granted to the United States are important in one respect. They insure to this country the benefits of the conventional tariff which is granted to other nations with whom Germany is on friendly commercial re- lations. The difference between the conventional duties and those with the imperial government is authorized to levy in certain cases runs through many items of the tariff schedules. and will have a marked effect upon the trade between the two cuntries. It is declared by representatives of the German government that the trade of the United States will profit by 8 5,OOO, = 900 under the new arrangement.
 The concessions made by the United States were set forth in detail in the Dingley act. They fixed the duties on argols from Germany at 3 per cent ad valorem; brandies or other distilled spirits, S1.75 per proof gallon: cham pagne and other sparkling wines, in quart bottles, S6 per dozen: still wines and Vermuth, in casks, B cents per gal long, and paintings in oil or water col ors, pastels. pen and ink drawings and statuary, 15 per cent ad valorem.
 The arrangement made is under the third section of the Dinglev law and is within the complete discretion of the president
 articles and rates which have been set forth in regard to importations from abroad into the United States. The president has authority without limit of time as to making this class of ar engagements and they do not require .ha ratification of the senate The new ar engagement will take effect as soon as annaunced by the state department. and is likely to be welcomed bv the inn porters of German products and Iy these who export meats and food pro- ducts to Germany.
 The latter classes of articles will profit especially by getting rid of some or the exacting and discriminating duties which have heretofore been levied or threatened. The German i'm perial government has shown q dfspo-
 4eeiNC liIeSS drTdnSeIne KS whenever substantial advantages could De obtained by so doing for German trade The arrangement made with Russia in 1894, embodying the same principles, set forth in detail certain special privileges connected with the new tariff arrangements, and some of these features are likely to be repro duced in the arrangement with the United States. The Russian treaty was hailed with great enthusiasm in both countries, and was expected to stimu- late materially the cordial relations be- tween them. The arrangement between the United States and Italy. which is now before the Italian parliament. IS of a similar character.

Rebuilding of Prescott
 Has Been Begun
IA CHEERFUL RIVALRY
For First Place in the Reconstruc- tion of the Town-The Difficulty of Getting Material Quickly-In- surance Adjusters Are Gathering. The Later Estimates of Losses and Risks.

Prescott, July 17.-(Spceial)-The first was turned over this afternoon by Judge Hawkins in a lot on Montezuma street for new brick building 50x100. Later. Burke and Hickey stated that the debris from their hotel ruins to- morrow, while H. Kerber also stated that he would have brick and material in front of his hotel in a week. The Bank of Arizona redoubled it's force of men on the work of the new three story brick, and John Lawler has a larger force at work today than ever. In short, it is a foot race to get there first.
 Nine insurance adjsters are on the ground and their forlorn look and empty gunny sacks too plainly tell their sorrow and re-echo the clean sweep of the holocaust. As there is nothing to adjust this element and their victims are mutually quiescelt Temporary buildings are going up with the rapidity of a mushroom on the plaza and after the sun goes down the strains of the siren ricochet around the tents from an Eldorado saloon like a Washoe zephyr when it bumps against a Texas mortimer. Merchandise and what-not-stores are pushing each other all to pieces and telephone tubes and electric lights are hanging from the trees. Accommodations are limited but stil! strangers are attracted, and some to see and tell all about how 70 water the municipal horse. A remark able feature of the disaster is that of over 100 real estate owners not one will have a vacant lot, and each stated to a Republican man that they will be re-( built at once.
 A great obstacle is in securing brick and other material, there being less than 1000, 900 in the kiln, while lumber is also limited. An era of good cheer prevails among all classes, and the best of order still rules. The losses are now stated to run close to 1000, ,OO0 secured | by a late estimate of $450, 900, in addi- tion to s100,000 at outside points. Out side fakirs and their ilk are endeavor- ing to jump lots on the plaza, but they are early evicted. Money is freely cir culated, and all kinds of people are doing all kinds of work.

MORE HOPEFUL FEELING.

Washington, July IA decidedly more hopeful feeling with regard to the Chinese situation was apparent in all administration circles this evening. The tide of sentiment which has been markedly pessfmisric tu11 ned with she announcement of the victory of the al- lies at Tien Tsin and the capture of the forts and native city and gathered strength from Minister Wu's cablegram declaring that the foreign ministers at Pekin were safe July g.
 Aside from these dispatches the ar rival of the president and a special cabinet meeting called to consider the situation were features of the day. The decision that an extra session of cOh- gress was not demanded by existing conditions was the outcome of the showing which both Secretaries Root and Long were able to make as to the force that can be thrown into China without the authorization of additional troops by congress, and also the de- cidedly more hopeful feeling enter tained by the president and members of his cabinet as to the safety of Minister Conger and other foreigners in Pekin due to the cable of Minister Wu repre- senting the safety of the ministers on July g, two days after the reported massacre.
 NEWS FROM PEKIN EXPECTED.
 While this cablegram is not regarded as conclusive it is accepted in good faith for the present. The administra- ton, it can be definitely stated, has set in motion some machinery by which it is confidently predicted absolutely au- thentic news as to the fate of our minister and other foreigners at Pekin will be ascertained.
 Through what channel the admins tration expects to receive this all i'm portant news is not known, but that d definite statement of the situation in Pekin is daily, hourly. expected, can be stated with the utmost positiveness. The advice received from Pekin prob ably will be the determining factor in shaping the future course of this gov ernment. If Minister Conger has been murdered an extra session of congress seems inevitable.
 A cablegram to Admiral Remy call ing for some additional information upon which to act was formulated at the cabinet meeting and dispatched al once.
