The changesbIe climate Of Washington renders a

No Alliance Of Powers for Peace in
Venezuela,

In view Of cable reports from Europe in
oicating that movement Is on foot to
have the United States Join Germany.
France and other powers with view to
suppressing the disorder in Venezuela, 1t is
learned at the State Department that no
such move as the one suggested has taken
official form. It is the belief of officials
that the report grows out OF the request
made by some Of the foreign powers about
month ago that the United States join in
declaration that the blockade established
by the Venezuelan government was inef-
fectfve. At that time the American govern
mert declined to enter into a concert for
this declaration. on the theory that If the
Tenezuelan blockade was ineffective 1t was
quite needless to make an international
declaration Of this fact, as the Ineffective
ness of the blockade would serve all of the
practical needs of commerce. Since then
there have been no steps taken by the
foreign powers toward q concert of action
with the United States relative to yene-

GERMANS IN COMBINE
IRON AND STEEL MAKERS AS
PERSISTENT AS EVER.
Fighting for Supremacy In Europe,
South and Central America
and the East.

The iron and steel makers Of Germany
now have a combination which will enable
them to continue with better chances for
ultimate success their stubborn and per-
sistent fight In the markets of Europe,
South and Central America, Africa and the
east. This fact Is brought out In a report
from United States Consul General Frank
Mason at Berlin, dated August 1, which
was made public at the State Department
today. The consul general reports that
after full discussion Of the unsatisfa ctory
condition Of the home market, representa-
tives Of the coal and iron industries of
Germany assembled at Cologne, decided
upon a return to the system Of export
bounties which was used to such good ef-
feet in the early years Of the German in
dustrial expansion.
Union Of Coal and Iron Interests.
Thereupon a union was formed between
the coal and iron interests to provide ex-
port bounties among all the leading syn
dicates In the metal and mining industries.
This vast and powerful export association,
Mr.. Mason says, is based upon an agree
ment that its members shall contribute to
pay to such members as export their prod
ucts, bonus equal to the difference be-
tween the current price OF the merchan-
disc in the German markets and the price
actually obtained for 1t abroad. The
bountfes to be paid on exported metals are
calculated upon the amounts OF raw ma
teriais consumed in their production
The consul general says that the mid
summer outlook for the German metal and
mining industries Is not SO reassuring as
had been confidently hoped for since the
beginning of the year. The reports Of sew
eral chambers Of commerce are decidedly
pessimistic on one point, namely, the per-
sistence of manufacturers In building and

INTEREST IN LYNcH1Na CASE.

Faulty on Constitutional Grounds.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
L.EESBURG, Va, August q, 1902.
AS the time for the holding Of the Sep
tember term Of the county court approach
es interest in the socal1ed lynchfng cases
increases. 1t is the opinion of many Of the
members Of the Loudoun county bar that
the indictments returned against the three
men for participation IN the unlawful kill
ing Of Charles Craven are faulty. Counsel
for the defendants viii argue that the grand
jurors who voted for the Indictment Of the
men were not legally summoned.
The new constitution OF the state, 1t is ar
gued, makes change In the method Of Sc
lecting Jurors, and this change, it is claim
ed, Will result In the indictments against
Charles Lowenbach, Harry Knipple and
Scott Bradley being thrown out Of court.
Should such action be taken 1t Is not be-
lieved another grand jury would indict the
men. On the other hand. a few people
think another investigation might possibly
result In a larger number Of indictments be-
ing returned. =
The fact that Scott Bradley. one Of the
accused, Is in jail and unable to give bond,
may give some little trouble In the matter
10 those who are anxious that nobody shall
be punished. He cannot remain in the
county prison forever and some action on
the part of the court viii be. necessary to
get him out. While Bradley Is unable to
give bond for his appearances he has been
assured that able counsel will appear IN
his case In the event of his being called
upon to defend the serious charge against
MIN. he has also been assured that pro-
vision has been made for the. support of his
family while he is in Jail.

CROP CONDITIONS FAVORABLE.
Agricultural Departments Weekly
Summary Is Satisfactory.

The Agricultural Departments weekly
summary Of crop conditions says:
AS whole the weather conditions east
Of the Rocky mountains have not been ia
vorable, being too cool in the northern dis
tricts eastward Of the Missouri valley, with
too much moisture in portions of the CEN
trail valleys, while excessively hot in the
southern states, with drought of greater or
less severity generally throughout the cot
ton belt. Although cool, the conditions were
fairly favorable for maturing crops in the
Ohio valley and over the southern portion
Of the middle Atlantic states, as well as
on the Pacific coast.
Corn is greatly In need Of warm. dry
weather throughout the northern portion
of the corn belt. where the abnormally
cool weather Of the past two weeks has
greatly retarded its maturity. Over the
southern portion Of the corn belt an ex-
celIent crop Of early corn is now practt-
cally assured. In portions Of Iowa and
central Illinois corn has been badly lodged
as a result Of local storms.
Spring wheat harvest is unfinished In the
northern portion Of the Red River valley
where 1t has been interrupted by frequent
showers. which have also seriously inter-
fered with stacking and thrashing Sprout-
ing and rottfng in stack and shock are re-

sofa thrashed wheat is damp and discoIor-
ed Harvest is about three-fourths finished
In Oregon and will be completed In Wash
ington during the present week, with yields
about the average, though less than ex-
pected in Washington.
A decided deterioration In the condition of
cotton Is reported generally throughout the
central and western portions of the cotton
belt. as well as over a large part of the
eastern districts The most favorable re-
ports are from the Carolinas. In North
Carolina the condition of the crop con-
tinues very promising. although the preva-

reached 1.5o3,742 tons, as compared with
994,4O4 tons for the same period Of last
year. The increase in the aggregate values
of these exports was only from $57, ,143, 800
to $I0,S52,6OO. This comparison between
the bulk Of product ana the bulk of money
makes the vital fact of the situation ap-
parent that large part of the vast
amount Of exports has been marketed
abroad rather on the basis Of clearing

WapeIIo County History.

The History of Wapello County,
published by the Biographical Publica-
ton Co., of Chicago, has appeared and
been delivered to subscribers since our
last issue. 1t is handsomely bound
book of $40 pages, on very fine paper
and has given so far as we know, gen.
eral satisfaction. AS the historical
part was written and compiled by the
writer it would not be proper for him
to comment on it's merits or dement's.
There is this to say: 1t may contain
minor errors but there are very few
of them. 1t contains mass of infor-
nation that will be very valuable to
the readers of the present day and in
the years to come will perhaps be bet
ter appreciated than at present. The
publishers have faithfully performed
their part so far as they were able;
they have furnished a book that COM
plies with the conditions in the pros
pectus and have bound it so we'll that
it may be preserved for future gener-
atoms. The writer mad no pecuniary
or business interest in the publication
but wrote and compiled its historical
department for a fair compensation.
1t was labor in which he took de
light. If in that labor he omitted to
do justice to any one. it was an error
of the head, and not of the heart. His.
tory should be cold and impartial, and
