Free Trade With Porto Rico viii Be
Proclaimed Thursday.
Washington, July 24.-Free trade
between the United States and Porto
Rico will be proclaimed Thursday.
Attorney General Knox is preparing
the proclamations which will be is
sued. Two proclamations will be is
sued, the first declaring the establish
ment of civil government in Porto
Rico and the second the establishment
OF free trade between the United
Stats and the island.
Although civil government has ex-
listed for many months in Porto Rico,
Governor Allen, up to the time he
went to Canton on Sunday, purposely
withheld the formal notification of
that fact from the president in order
that the moneys collected under the
Foraker act might not be placed at the
disposal of the Porto Rican legislature
but could continue to be used for the
benefit of the island under the direc-
ton Of the president The effect OF an
earlier notification would have been a
proclamation by the president recog-
n1zing the establishment of civil gov
ernment and the turning over to the
insular treasury for use of the legisla-
ture of all moneys thereafter collected
under the Foraker act.

Professor Koch of Berlin Says 1t Can.
not Be Transmitted to Man.
London, July 24.-Professor Koch,
the Berlin discoverer of phthisis ba-
cili, has startled the medical and
scientific world by the announcement
that bovine tuberculosis is not trans
mittable to the human system. The
famous bacteriologist, in an interview,
authorized the statement that he has
demonstrated that meat and milk from
tuberculosis infected cattle may be
consumed with absolute impunity.
1T would be discourteous to the in
ternational congress at which I pro-
pose to announce the discovery" he
said, "to elaborate my theory in detail
at this hour. You may say substan.
TALLY that 1 have reached the con.
clusion that the very general fear of
contact with tuberculosis flesh or fluid
Is an unnecessary and unfounded fear
Il have arrived at my discovery
through what consider practical in
disputable tests, which lead me to be-
lieve that the human and bovine tu
berculosis are Of totally different
Species"

SITUATION UNCHANGED.
contending Forces In Steel Strike Set
: tIing Down for Long Struggle.

contending Forces In Steel Strike Set
tIing Down for a Long Struggle.
Pittsburg, July 24.-The strike sit
uation practically presents no new
phases and it appears now as if the
contending forces are settling down
for protracted struggle.
While the company at the Wells
vile mill received the accession of ca
few men from the ranks of the strik-
ers, the number is not large enough
to justify the mill in starting up in
full. In the meantime the Amalga-
mated men are keeping constant
watch upon the mill and all avenues
that lead to it.
Pickets have been thrown out along
the streets and at the railroad stations
SO that nothing will escape the vigi-
lance of the strikers if the company
should bring any new men in.
At Devices Wood mill in Mckees-
port everything is as before. From
unofficial sources, believed to be con-
versant with the company's plan, it is
said the management have no inter-
tion of resuming the operation of the
plant at present. Nevertheless the
strikers are wary and evidently do not
patrol the streets for the purpose of
keeping their eyes on anyone going
towards the mill.
At Vandergrift and Duncanville the
men appear to be entirely satisfied and
work is going on there as usual. All
citation to get the men out have so far
been futile.
One of the most significant develop
ments of the strike is the order from
the officials of the National Steel COM
pany to have the former rail mill of
rail rolling again. The mill was Or
iginally a rail mill, but during the
early part of the present year, otter
the consolidation had been perfected
between various underlying companies
as the United States Steel corporation,
the Youngstown rail plant was aban-
doned and its product turned into
sheet bars and bil1ets.
The fact that the National Steel
company is thus preparing to change
it's rail production and shut off it's
steel bar and billet production is taken
as an indication that the officials of
the United States Steel corporation
are anticipating no early settlement
of the strike, but are rather looking
for some considerable delay in oper-
ating the mills.

Claude Macdonald, former British

lord Miner in a speech, said the
compromising of the settlement Of The
South African situation by injudicious
concessions must not be thought Of;
nor should the risk Of a popular r:s.

crime-stained treason as a venial Of.
tense. The speaker said there was
an immense difference between the
stout old burghers of the late repub.
Hes and the rowing ruffians" harrow
ing their fellow British subjects OF
Cape Colony. While it was resolved
to treat the old burghers, when the
war was oyer, with fairness and even
generosity, convincing them that
though they had lost independence
they had not lost their freedom, con.
tinued Lord, Miner, the loyalists in
South Africa who had showed such
splendid devotion to the empire and
the work Of reconstruction already 60

By the bold development of re,

SCRAMBLE FOR PROFITS.
Wheat and Corn Take Big Drop on
Chicago Board of Trade.


Chicago Board of Trade.
Chicago, July 24.-Opening scenes
in the grain pits were wild. Especial
ly among corn and oats traders was
the excitement noticeable. The corn
market was launched by nervous longs
at the tap of the gong. They seemed
to have a desire, amounting almost IT,
a panic, to secure their profits, in view
of scattered reports of rain, and, in
consequence, there was a wild range
of prices. September sold simultane-
ously from SO to 81 IL cents, the latter
figure being cents under the closing
price Of the previous day. September
oats, sympathetically with the. yellow
cereal, sold at the opening 1-8 lower,
at 35 cents. September wheat sold
1 34 cents lower.
After these declines prices steadied,
largely on buying for the country ac-
count. AS to the crop situation there
was nothing to change pessimistic
views as to corn and oats, because the
Pains were few and far between.
Wheat bulls were rendered uneasy by
reports Of more favorable weather in
spring wheat in the two Dakotas and
Minnesota.
Reports during the day in many in.
stances claimed that damage claims
from Kansas, Iowa and Missouri had
been greatly exaggerated in regard to
the corn situation. These reports
probably were open to the suspicion
of ulterio. motives, but were influen.
tial in a nervous market and the clos.
ing showed the bull position weaken
ed. September wheat lost cents
corn 1-8 and oats 2 3-8.

Edward, by some American ladies Of
the hospital ship Maine committee, Of

ground that the king did not want the
