II Washington. Oct. 4.-Germany has
backed down from the attitude as
sumed some time ago concerning pun
ishment OF leaders in the attack upon
the legations at Pekins and will soon
submit a new note to the powers.
It 10 claimed by the German foreign
Office that their frst proposal1was mis-
understood and that their plan did not
involve az much harshness as the pow
ers have ascribed to 1t. However this
may be, the Washington authorities
are greatly relieved at the news that
the kaiser has modified his demands
and that he now shows a disposition to
cooperate with the powers in reason
able and therefore prabably effective
scheme Of negotiations.
There had been a good deal of fear,
not only In Washington. but in all the
capitals OF the world. that Germany
might insist upon pursuing a high
handed course, which would certainly
lead to international trouble. Now that
this danger has seemingly been averted
: by the modification and good sense OF
the Berlin government. 1t can do no
harm TO state that there was tacit
understanding among the powers to
stand squarely In Germany's way il

as follows:

to come to an agreement to In
struct their diplomatic representa-

their opinion on the following
points: Whether the list contained
in the edict Of persons to be pun

whether the punishments proposed
meet the case; in what way can the

Washington. Oct. 4.-The United
States government has taken another
decisive step in the development Of the
Chinese situation, in a note delivered
today by Secretary Hay to the German
charge d'affaires. Baron speck Won
sSternberg. In the note favorable ac-
4ion by this government on Germant's
latest suggestion concerning the pun
ishment OF Chinese criminals is ex-
pressed and announcement is made
that the United States has already
sent instructions to Minister Conger
along the lines Indicated. The instruc-
tions to Conger are that he shall learn
the names OF the Chinese offenders who
are to be punished; whether the pun
ishment to be administered Is ade-
squate to their offenses and whether the
punishments are actually administered
The American note is considered most
important in the establis ishment OF com-
plete unity Of action between the
United States and Germany.

Reports from tNt West Indicate that
a great many OF wnat are called feed
ers," young stock ready to be put up
and fattened. are being sold IN the Chi
cago market. and that the farmers Of
Indiana. Illinois and Iowa will feed
more Of them this year than ever, Que
reason for this is probably la the com
paratiyely good price nj which beef cat

large corn crops which the farmers
have grown, and which they ind il
more profitable 20 sell ION the ho0f as
il is called, or in the shape Of cattle and
hogs than to sell by the hushel They
have learned that their soil, fertile as It
was once thought to'be. needs to have
something in the way of fertility re
turned to Ii, or continual cropping will
exhaust It. The corn shredder, which
utllizes the stalks Of their great fields
of corn as rough fodder for stock. also
helps them keep more. Most Of these
young cattle come from the ranges In
Texas and in the Northwestern States.
where little corn Is grown and i seems
easier to bring the cattle to tIt corn
than to take the corn to the cattle. es-
peclallyns the feeding points are nearer
TO a good market than are me ranches
Something of the same sort is being
done near Kansas city and Omaha,
which draw range cattle from Montana,
the nakotas and even from Winnipeg
Where drought has been too severe
these range cattle are what is called
grass fat" when they come In, and
need only few months on corn to
bring them up to prime beef. lit to ship

they will pay good riees for good meat.

Senator j. X. Jones, Chairman of the

company in his trouble. John Il.
SeaFles, well known in Wall street as
one of the biggest trust magnates." is
a cO-defendant The Tex8~s have

Searles is President of the organza-
ton. TIE Chairman of the Democratic
National Committee says his company
is but Large business concern, but
the Texans-and Texas Is a Democratic
State-think differently. II is charged
that the Jones-Searles combination con
stitutes a conspiracy against lawful
trade and free competition.
The American Cotton Company is a.
monopoly il there ever was one. Not
only is entrenched behind 100000
capital stock. but it is fortified by pat
ents which exclude the possibility of
competition. Nicolfs Stock Exchange

says: THE American Cotton Company

Controls word itself is sug

over which Mr.. Bryan fumed in his st.
Louis denunciation of trusts. Every
cotton-ginning plant in the South must
have one OF the machines manufactured
by the American Cotton Company.
They save time and money. The cotton
Sinner must make his arrangements
