or jury In esscs disposed cf. or makes .statements damaging to the character of either at that time. there should be no contempt. but the publisher. would be liable just the same as in the case of . publication concerning persons in other ofiicial positions"
 n other words. there wo i'd be no con tempt of court, but the oficer claiming to have been slandered would have his rem edy in an action for slander. In the vir- glnia case. 1t will be noted. the case had been disposed of ard the criticisms of the minister could have had no effect on the proceedings. If Judge Campbell felt that he had been slardered. he had the same remedy, and no other. that a private individual would have and could have sued the minister for damages. The courts were open to him just as they were to othec individuals, and he had no shad- ow of right to proceed in any other man. ner.
 It Is rot to be wondered at that the Virginia newspapers are handling this usurping Judge without gloves. and it is not surprising that they should demand that the constitution now being framed should contain an article specially defn- ing the powers of a Judge and fixing limitations to that power. As 1t now stands. no man O. newspaper will be safe in making any criticism of court. or Of it's proceedings and decisions. and when the time comes. in Virginia, or elsewhere. that man or a newspaper may be hauled up before Judge and punished for criti' oising the opinions or acts of that Judge. especially in respect of matters which have been finally disposed of. it is high time for a change. That liberty of the press which virginia's great statesman. Jefferson. spoke of as one of the com ponent parts of 'the bright constellation which went to make America a great and free country. seems to be only memory if Judge Campbell is correct.

Plans an Annex to the Capitol.

There is q prospect that the House of Representatives will make provision to give each one of it's members a room in which he can transact his private busi- ness and look after oficial affairs, as is now the case with Senators. In the House only the chairman of committee is provided with a committee room.
 The cost of living in Washington is very high and members are not paid salaries sufficient to warrant them in hiring rooms in which to look after their official and private business.
 Even Mir. Cannon. chairman of the Ap- propriation Committee. has reached the point where he favors the purchase of site and the construction of new build ing as an annex to the Capitol. so as to besides giving ampl< space for the stor- age of puklic documents that now en- eumbcr the Capitol building proper.

A publicati on of timely interest. in view of the national exchange of cOurtesies be- tween the United States and France. was made public today by Frederic Emory. chief or the Bureau of Foreign Com merce. showing how this country pro- gressed in trade relations with the French republic last year.
 It is stated that nearly all the consular ohicers in France speak of tho gratifying increase in the importation of agricul- tural machinery from the United States.

YONKERS STRUCTURE INJURED TO EN-
TENT OF 1900 BY SLIDE OF LAND
LOOSENED BY STORM

The Westminster Presbyterian Church. in Yon-
kers. was badly damaged yesterday by a food of
water, mud. sand and bricks which burst into the
lecture room from the rear, and through the
church 10 Warburton-ave. The church faces on
Warburton- ave, and extends half way through
tho block. The street at the is North
Broadway. which is many feet higher than War
burton-ave. The property TO the of the
church is owned by the Pagan. estate. The
church property had been lowered 10 the level
OF the avenue. and the sheer drop resulting had
been faced with retaining wall
Recently the Pagan estate erected a row OF
buildings on the property and at the same time
raised the retaining wall above the ground level
by imposing another wall on top OF the old one.
The heavy rains recently caused small lake to
form on the Pagan property the water being
held in place by the new wall The trustees OF
the church fearing just what happened. served
notice on the Pagan estate that any damage re-
sulting would be charged to the estate.
Monday nights heavy rain Ohe Board of
Works figures say that 49, inches felD in
creased the danger, and yesterday a section OF
the wall. pressed outward by the great weight
OF water behind IT, fell toward the church and
against the rear wall of the building forcing ar
opening in II. Through this the rocks. bricks
and mortar OF the wall fell into the lecture room
followed by rush OF water. mud and sand. The
carpet. furniture and fittings OF the lecture
room are ruined. The main body of the church
was also badly damaged. The trustees saw the
loss will not be less than $1,000. and may reach
$4,000
The washing away of the rear part Of the
Pagan property does not appear to have ex-
tended back far enough TO weaken the newly
erected buildings. but fill in the property and
repair the wall will cost at least 81 900.

ANOTHER TURN FOR GATES
JOHN CUDAHY TURNS OVER TO HIS
FIRM ABOUT TWELVE MILLION
BUSHELS OF CORN
10y TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE. ]

Chicago, July 29.-Proits of more than
100000. supposed to be in the pocket of John
Cudahy. were shifted to-day to the strong box

whom the firm was acting Mysteries of recent
operations in revealed when Mr..
Cudahy sent word to various commission houses
to transfer to the account of Harris Gates &
Co. his short line of September corn. The total
amount sold by Mr.. Cudahy is supposed to be
about twelve million bushels, which there is
an average profit of about five cents a bushel.
or 100000 The maize sold above 50 cents
during the halcyon days of the July squeeze.
Popular belief that Mr.. Cudahy selling for
himself is thus controversial predicted at the
time The line handed probably doubles
the short interest which John W. Gates and his
party accumulated openly
Shorts and shippers of oats to-day were
threatening suits against the State grain in
spectors. The charge is that to aid the squeeze
in oats. the inspectors graded as below con-
tract" many thousands of bushels of oats which
were contract under the rules of the Board
of Trade. The board rules provide that No j
pounds to the bushel shall be graded stand
ard" or contract" The State inspection, how
ever. did not make this allowance, with the re-
suit that shippers and receivers are all at sea
and heavy losses have resulted
Complaints that oats grading contract were
not being accepted as such by the State Board
of Inspection in large numbers to-day
to Chicago agents. The Illinois Grain Dealers
Association has taken a hand TO secure settle
ment of the difficulty.

London. July 30-In its issue of this morning
The Daily Mail" declares there is no longer
any doubt that the three great oil interests or

into a working agreement. Thus" says the
paper, without any publicity the greatest trust
the world has ever seen has sprung into being.
This combination" says the paper has been
limited at in messages from Batoum and Mos
cow, and it has been more clearly shown in the
offers made to Russian oil exporters by repre-
sentatives of the Nobel and Rothschd interests
for the absorption of the whole of their output
The exporters have been hidden to sell through
the agencies of these interests at price ar
ranged by them, to fight the combined forces
of the three oil giants. This offer made
openly and with the idea of maintaining prices
and it has been refused, the Russian exporters
preferring to fight.

TARIFF CHANGES IA VORED.
CONTEST OVER IOWA REPUBLICAN
PLATFORM PRACTICALLY ENDED.

Dies Moines. Iowa, July 29.-The withdrawal of
Lafayette Young, of Des Moines this evening as
candidate for member of the Committee on
Resolutions from the With District is gener-
ally regarded ending the opposition to the
reaf1rmation of last years platform by the Re
publican State Convention here tomorrow Mr.
Youngs decision announced after a caucus
of the Polk County delegation.
The objection which had been made to the re-
affirmation Of last years platform was directed
almost entirely to the clause in the trust plank
declaring for ANY modification of the tariff
schedules that may be required to prevent their
affording shelter to monopoly" 1t was held
by some that the clause was a virtual admission
of the Democratic theory that the tariff fosters
trusts.
Senators Allison and Doiver and the entire
Iowa delegation In Congress are here to attend
the convention. While some of the Congress
men have privately favored modification of
last years platform, none of them have taken
part in the contest so far
Congressman Walter /. Smith. of Council
Bluffs. will be temporary chairman of the con-
Ventton. which Will meet at 10 O'Clock to-mor-
row morning No opposition exists to the re-
nomination of Secretary of State Martin Treas
urer Gilbertson, Attorney General Mullen or
Judges Ladd and Bishop. The withdrawal of

field for b. F. Carroll for Auditor of State.

One Of the points which brought out in the

10 come out and join the strikers When Richards
was speaking to a crowd and the working miners

He told them he had list of all their names. and
