Morgan and schwab Meet Again in
New York.

New York, July 1.-THE highest Of
ficia1s of the United States Steel cor
pOratiOn were unanimous today in say
ing there was no new development in
the steel strike situation.
President SchWab of the United
States Steel corporation called at the
Office Of J. 2. Morgan shortly after IL
o'clock Fifteen minutes later Mr..
Morgan joined him. Mr.. Schwab was
accompanied by a stranger, who sew
era1 persons believed to be John JaTret,

company, but at the Office of the latter
company it was said that Mr.. Jarret
had not arrived from Cambridge
Springs, Pa
A report was circulated that a secret
conference was under way at Mr.. Nor

Northern Pacific fight by Mr.. Morgan s
letter to his associates the rUmor con-
corning the conference was generally
discountenanced.
President Schwab left the office If
the banker shortly before I o'clock.
When asked to reply to President Shat

cused.

that no formal conference would be

KANSAS GETS RAIN
So BADLY NEEDED
DrOuth is Broken and Hot
Wave Gone.
WILL BE BIG CORN YIELD
DowNPoUR WAS HEAVY AND
INDICATIONS ARE FOR MORE.

Topeka, Kan, July 1.-THE rains
that have fallen in Kansas last night
and today have practically assured a
corn yield of at least $4,000. 600 bushels,
and the yield may be even greater.
The state is under the influence Of a
low barometeric condition and more
rain is expected tonight. Correspond
entS from numerous Kansas towns in
reporting rains say that the sky Is
overcast with clouds tonight and that
more rain within few hours is GER
tain.
The drouth in Kansas has been
broken and with it has gone the ex-
cessive hot spell. It is the opinion
among those VINO have been watching
the weather conditions that the season
viii be more favorable to crops from
now on.
Good rains are reported tonight over
portions Of eastern and central Kan
sas and in each case is mentioned the
fact that the rain is not through with
yet Emporia, Hiawatha, Clay Center,
Ellsworth, Salina, Atchison, sSyl-
Wan Grove, Great Bend, COncOrdia,
QuenemO. ottawa, FredOnia and Usage
City are among the places favored
with rains. which ranged from one-half
to two inches.
Secretary Coburn Of the Kansas
board of agriculture is enthusiastic
over the result Of the rain. Mr.. CObUrn
has been optimistic all along as to the
ultimate outcome of the drouth, say
ing there was not the least cause for
alarm. as Kansas could well take care
of herself He is sure that the corn
WELD will reach at least half crop If
the present very favorable weather
conditions continue.
The manner in which the corn mas
held it's own during the drouth was
something remarkable and is a source
of wonder to the farmers. In some
places it has had no moisture for over
two months. It has made almost no
growth but the leaves have keen kept
green ard the tassel kept off. Weeds
could not flourish in the dry spell, any
more than the corn. and they were
easily eradicated. The fields are there
fore clean and have taken new lease
ON life since the rain. With a large
wheat crop and the present fair pros
meets for corn, drouth suffering in
kansas will be reduced to a minimum

Of the second day of the stationary
firemen's strike finds fully $4,000 min
ers idle in the Wyoming district Of the
anthracite coal region which extends
from Duryea to NanticOke. The num-
Der of idle men was increased today by
the suspension of railroad crews on
nearly all coal branches. No coal be-
ing mined, there is none to haul TO
the breakers.
The total number of idle men now in
the whole anthracite region is esti-
mated at 81 900. There are 30, 600 mine
workers in the LaCkaWanna region, but
they are not all out. If the strike eX-
tends to the HazletOn, Schuyli<iu and
Shamokin regions, 10000 men may be
idle before long.
The tie-up in this region is complete
and the strikers are much encouraged.
The hosting engineers held d secret
meeting in this city this afternoon It
is learned from a pretty reliable source
that the striking firemen received the
moral support of those present
