take after the q. A. r. e~ncampment to be
held the week Of October 6, would probably
be abandoned. '''t i
Those who trace the rumor backjto quasi
Official sources nave not yet been let into
the secret Of the reason for this suggestion
but the general impression, among them is
that 1t has some bearing upon the Cuban
reciprocity and that the president is pre-
pairing to remain here to renew the fight.
The Cuban reciprocity treaty is now ready
for the signature OF contracting parties and
could be ready for submission to the United
States senate whenever desired by the
president.
So far as known here there is no impor-
tant reason for abandoning the southwestern
tour save a possible intention on the part
of the president to call a special session
OF the senate and TO remain here while the
treaty is under discpssion-

Of the corn belt. some OF the early corn is
