GRAIN CROPS REPORTED L4RGE-
A FORMIDABLE RIVAL TO THE UNITED STATES
IN THE GERMAN MARKET

WASHINGTON, Aug 26.-Russa had spring this
year an unusual occurrence in that country. and
as a result her harvest of cereals will be the
largest for many years. In a report to the State
Department Consul Heenan at Odessa, says that
the gradual rise temperature. instead Of the sud-
den change from cold 10 heat, has been most ia
vorabIe TO all crops. and wheat. rye oats and bar
ley will give more than the yield this year.
The State Department has received from Con-
sular Agent Harris at EibenstOck report show
ing the extent of Germanys grain impOrtatious
from Russia and from the United States. In 1897
Russia sold to Germany s27. .3O2 40 worth more OF
grain than did the United States. but in 1900 the
United States only 81 947.250 behind her Euro
pean nval. Mr.. Harris says the competition be-
tween Russia and the United States to supply the
non producing grain countries of Europe will be-
come sharper every year. New railroads and
canals building in Russia will enable her TO move
her crops with more toward the German
frontier than formerly, and when Austria has COM
pleted her network OF canals direct water COM
from Russia the heart of Germany
will be established The only thing which will
enable the United States in the future to compete
successfully with Russia in the grain markets oA
Germany will be cheaper ocean freight rates. says
Harris.

Just been received here throw some light on the
report from Santiago TO the effect that the
Committee on Foreign Affairs of the Chilian
Congress had declined TO recommend appropri-
ations TO defray the expense of sending dele
gates from Chilli to the approaching Pan-AmeTi-
can Congress at Mexico. These advices, without
questioning the accuracy of the original state
ment make it appear that the Committee
Foreign Affairs does not represent the party in
control Of the executive branch OF the govern
ment II is said that in consequence the decla-
rattons Of this committee are by means final!
and therefore il does not follow from its action
that Chilli will refuse to attend the congress.

is CHRISTMAS ATTRACTION

The Murray-Hartt Co., will show at
the Manager opera house Christmas
night. This company is one of the
very best comedy companies on the
road. They will produce "The Stock
broker" for the first time in Laramie.
There is no doubt that in receiving this
attraction that Manager Marquardt

amusement for his patrons. There are
no waits between the acts-strong and
up-to-date specialtIes being rendered
in a most pleasing manner.
From all the press accounts, this
company has given immense satisfac-
ton, wherever it has been. No person
can give a better finish to the Christ
mas enjoyment than by attending the
"Stockbroker' comedy Christmas
night. Satisfaction is absolutely guar,
anteed to those who enjoy a good,
clean. wholesome laugh. Those who
don't like to laugh should remain
away, as this play is n continuous
laugh. A word to the wise is sufficient.

Will deliver today to Lord Lansdowne.
secretary of state for foreign affairs, the
note of the United States government
announcing the senate's amendments 10
the Nicaragua treaty. and Will ask the
British government to accept the
amendments.
Mr.. choate will assume the position
that Britain is ready to accept the SEN
ate amendments. Lansdowne will make
a non-committal and polite reply, and
the matter will slumber for several
weeks.
Great Britain will undoubtedly put out
feelers as to whether the United States
is willing to concede something in re-
turn. especially the Alaskan boundary.
While Mr.. choate has no instructions on
this point. it is considered in diplomatic
circles that the United States will not
make the slightest concession. and that
ultimately Britain will accept the
amended treaty.

of the Cuban constitution makers that
lthey will complete their work in time
for the United States congress to act
upon the constitution during the pres
Snt session. If II shall appear conclus-
tvely that there IS no hope of obtaining
this last result, then the work of the
convention probably will proceed with
mSre deliberation.
fhe most difficult problem which yet
reAains to be solved, according to DR..
RuAens. is that of suffrage, the leaders
seeiSing to be pretty closely divided
bet4een the two broad propositions of
absolute free suffrage and restrictions
based on educational and property
qualifications
