WILL BECOME SHARPER.
Competition Between United States
and Russia In the Grain Trade
ON the Increase.

Washington, Aug. 27.-The state de-
partment has received from Consular
Agent Harris at Bibenstock report
showing the extent of Germany's grain
importation from Russia and from the
United States. In 1897 Russia sold Ger
many $27,302,410 worth more of grain
than did the United States, but in 1900
the United States was only $4,947,250
worth behind her European rival. Mr..
Harris says the competition between
Russia and the United States to sup
ply the nonproducing grain countries
of Europe will become sharper every
year.
The only thing which will enable the
United States in the future TO COM
pete successfully with Russia in the
grain markets of Germany will be
cheaper ocean freight rates, says Mr..
Harris.

outside. The sides are made to slide
up and down a few inches, so that
the feed can be shut off if desired, or
the spaces A and B can be adjusted
to deliver the grain in small or lib
eral quantities. A board roof keeps
the grain dry. Sled-runners under
this feeder enables it to be hauled
around to any points desired. In the
ilfustr alton the end is left open to
show the construction. 1t must be
boarded up tight. A part of the
roof, or all of one side, can be hinged
so as to throw back for putting in
the grain. The illustration shows
how the feeder is made, and anyone
can make the dimensions to suit his
wants.-Ohio Farmer.

WORKING FOR PEACE.
oitsidcrs Are Trying to End the
steel Strike struggIe-shnTer
Knows Nothing of II.

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 27.-The Ma.
tional Civic Federation is to make an
effort to bring the protracted steel
strike to an end this week by making
concessions to the United States Steel
corporation. 1t is said that the terms
have been agreed to, but what they are
and their exact mode of presentation
are not known, further than that there
is to be no request for arbitration.
President Shaffer, however, said
Monday that he knew nothing of the
proposed venture, and his associate
had authorized no new steps for peace
The combine, it is said, intends to make
aggressive attempts to start more
plants this week. They were success
full in putting two more mills in opera.
ton at Painters Monday morning and
now have four mills, with force of
400 men at work. The mills started
Monday were No. bar mill and No. 2
cotton tie mill. The management says
that the work being turned out is up
to the standard and is being placed on
the market. One of the officials an
nounced Monday that he had three
more crews engaged, but that they
would not go to work until all the men
necessary to operate the six mills had
been secured, and then the plant would
run at night. He said he was almost
certain the entire works would be run
ming at night before the end of this
week. More men were taken into the
Star plant of the American Tin-Plate
company, and at the Lindsay and Me-
Cutcheon works of the Steel Hoop
company. These mills, the combine of
cials say, they expect to have in full
operation before Saturday.
The strike managers assert that the
resumption of these plants in full will
be an impossibility, and say the claims
of the steel people are not borne out
by the facts. They say that they
scored victory over the management
of the Star mills by preventing seven
men from entering the plant and that
the plant was not running at all Mon
day morning.

FOUR MEN KILLED.
Girders of N New Bridge Fall mt CO.
lumbln, =. C., and Crush Out
Lives of Victims.

Columbia, S. c., Aug. 27.-An accident
at the new bridge which the Southern
railway is constructing across the Con-
garee river caused the death of four
men. One other was fatally and two
more seriously injured. The accident
was caused by the falling of two steel
girders about seven feet long, weigh
ing IA tons each. The two girders were
hoisted about midway of the river
above the bridge. The rains of the
night previous probably had caused
the ropes holding them in place to slip
The crash came without the slightest
warning. There were rs people on the
bridge, spectators and workmen.
Three of the men were pinned to the
bridge and killed instantly, four more
were knocked into the river, two of
whom were rescued by a government
tug which came up from the Congaree
locks a quarter of mile away.

FAIR PROFIT I'm VEAL.
A source of Income That Is Completes
1y Neglected by Many West
ern Dairymen.

Too many make a mistake in not
raising calves until of an age to sell
for veal. 1t is question with me
whether it does not pay better to keep
calves until near Christmas and then
sell. One thing is sure. Let farmer
once work up an honest trade for such
meat, and, like genuine fresh eggs or
gilt-edged butter, he could put on q
stiff price and still find a ready mar
ket.
Most farmers in this section kill
their calves when day or two old, and
sell the hides for 60 cents or 81, accord
ing to size and weight, while the moth
er's milk must go to the pigs for some
time, as it is not fit for butter or
cheese. Now, why not adopt the prac-
tice that is beginning to come in vogue
here of feeding this milk to calves un-
til fit for use anywhere, then giving
warm, sweet skimmilk with a little
finely ground grain mixed in as the
calf grows older? Soon one will have
an animal on hand with decided mar
ket value.
Calves must be kept dry if they are
to thrive, and run on the ground in
the open air is AZ good for them as an
occasional tonic is for their owners.
My father always fed little sulphur
about once a week, and never remem-
Der his losing a calf with the disease
called blackleg. A little salt in the feed
once in awhile is also good for them
We turn them out into dry, we'll
fenced piece of meadow as soon as the
weather is warm enough, and provide
a good shelter from the sun and storm
Unless there can be running water in
their quarters it is kept in trough for
them and removed every day. They
are well fed, and it is surprising how
soon they attain marketable size

is A DANGEROUS CRAFT.
Shamrock III. shows that She Il the
swinsest OF All the English Challen-


New York, Aug. 2s.-The Shamrock
II. was given good long spin on
Tuesday both inside and outside the
Hook. She was tried in windward
work and broad and close reaching.
In fact the challenger was given a
run in breeze that sometimes piped
up to IL knots. The good opinion
of her speed, merits and ability to
carry lofty canvas was emphasized.
Many yachting experts who saw
her performance call her a wonder
full boat. All say she is the most
dangerous proposition that has ever
come over the waters hunting for the
Americas cup. She had life in her
every minute. She gathers way with
remarkable rapidity, and is quick in
stays, points very high and stands
under a tremendous spread of can
vas like the proverbial steeple. At
no time did she put her rail under,
even when wearing around close
hauled and taking a 12-lknot breeze
abeam. With all this she is very
beautiful boat under sail and, taken
altogether, is a decided improvement
over the old Shamrock.
The Shamrock covered the nine
miles from the southwest spit to
Owls Head against the tide of three
knots, in SO minutes. The run back
over the same course, including six
.taclSs, was done in 81 minutes.

A eLlTTERINa PAGEANT.
Thirty Thousand Knights TcmpInr In
Line During the Tricnnal Concinvo
Mt LouisviIle, Ky.

Louisville, KY, Aug. est is esti-
mated that 100000 people yesterday
witnessed the parade ofKnights Tenn
plar. Thirty thousand knights in
full uniform were in line, forming an
imposing spectacle with which to
begin the twenty-eighth triennial
conclave. The march covered dis
protected by wires strung along the
sidewalk to keep spectators in check.
This innovation in handling holiday
crowds was highly successful.
There were IL cases of prostration
due to heat and exhaustion. Sir
Knight Irwin Barnard, of Greenville,
Ind, was overcome while marching.
His condition is reported serious. A
portion of the Y. NJ. C. A. reviewing
stand at Fourth street and Broad
way collapsed. Half doze npeo-
pie sustained bruises, and Mrs. James
Carnahan, of Washington, suffered a
broken ankle.
The communicates from Chicag 90,
Pittsburg and San Francisco attract
ed special attention by their magnifi-
cent appearance. Columbia COM
mandery No. 2, of Washington, came
in for wild applause all along the
route, as Rear Admiral Schley is a
member of it and had been expected
to march with his comrades. AL
though he was absent, at every point
in the course when the Washington
men appeared the crowd took up the
cry "Schley, Schley; hurrah for
Schley."
Later when the formal welcome to
the knights was extended by Judge
Barker, of Louisville, acting for Gov.
Beckham, and ex-Congressman w. C.
P. Breckenridge, the mention of
Schley's name elected applause so en-
thusiastic that both speakers were
compelled to stop for several min
| utes."

Mayor Weaver. It was so late when

there was little time for the actual
business of the grand encampment.
Fireworks, excursions on the river
and other diversions occupied the visi-
tors time last night. Several COM
manderies held receptions.
A large audience was entertained
last night at the Horseshow building
by a program designed to show how
the southern darkey enjoys himself
There was camp meeting spectacle,
a cake walk and old-time melodies
by a chorus of 200 colored people.

SUES SIX BANKS.
Uncle Sam Seeks to Recover Money
Paid Qua on FrauduIons Pension
Vouchers


Boston, Aug. 2S.-Acting under in
structions from the treasury depart
ment Assistant United States District
Attorney Casey has brought suit in
the United States circuit court
against six national banks OF this
city to recover money on checks
taken by them.
: The sums range from $4,000 down a
sliding scale, the banks affected be-
ing the National Exchange, the
National Bank of Redemption, the
First national bank, the National
Bank of the Commonwealth, the Ma
tional bank of the Republic, the Mer-
chants national and the Atlantic
national. The allegation is that the
banks have paid fraudulent pension
vouchers after having drawn upon
the sub-treasury IN this city for the
amount.
The suits are the outcome of the
arrest and conviction OF A. w. Mum
son, who died recently in the Rhode
Island state prison, Munson wos
sentenced to ten years imprisonment
for unlawfmlly making false certifi-
Gates on pension vouchers and for
fraudulent endorsements. AS the
collections were made through
the Boston banks, the United
States government decided to
bring suit against them for the re-
coyery of the full amount.

ROADS WITHOUT DUST.
They Are Pleasant to Travel Over,
But Only When They Rest on .
Solid Foundation.

1t seems just possible that auto
mobiles, rubber tires and the desire
for travelling fast, in conjunction
with the fact that these three fac
tors produce an intolerable amount
of dust on the best roads of to-day,
may lead to new methods in road
building which eventually will super
sede macadamizing in the ordinary
sense of this word. Experiments
with this end in view, such as those
made in California with crude pc
troleum for smoothing the roadway
and rendering it "dustless," may be-
of the highest interest for the de-
velopment of motor traffic, but a
dangerous tendency to overlook the
fixed data of the road-building art
crops out too frequently in the ex-
periments made in this country. 10
was one of the greatest merits OF
MacAdam that he never tired of re-
sisting propositions for cheap and
struction but stoutly and successful
iy maintained that there is one
principle which must be absolutely
adhered to if the good quality of any
new road shall be permanent, viz:
a foundation resting as a solid and
lmpermeable crust on the natural soil
protecting it against all changes due
to rain or frost and supporting q
porous layer which will absorb or
shed water and to which all subse-
quent repairs should be confined
This requirement has never been sue
cessfully dispensed with and it seems
more than doubtful whether it can
be dispensed with now or in the fu-
ture, whatever other changes may be
lnaugurated to remedy the dust evil
which is the worst enemy of ordinary
