BOARD OF TRADE TIED UP,
Telegraph Boys Cause Much Trouble
in Chicago.

CHICAGO. July 26.-The ranks of the
striking Western Union messenger boys
were augmented this morning by walk
out OF the check boys on the board o.
trade. causing more serious delay and
consequent monetary loss to traders.
Operators were ordered to fill the
checkers places. Those who refused 10
obey were discharged.
Riot calls were sent in to have the
police disperse crowds Of striking mes
sengers who were picketing telegraph
Offices. Repeatedly they scattered the
youthful strikers, but they assembled
almost before the police could recover
their positions. The strike. which was
at first regarded as an opera boufic at
fair. Is affecting business. and is no
longer joke. The Western Union con-
tinues 10 advertise for men, Offering
them 80 a week, to take the boys
places, but are receiving few applica-
tions.

She was one of those ambitious coun-

PARDON ALL BUT ASSURED
IF WILSON Is CONVICTED
President Zelaya Says Physician Must
Stand Trial-Proulises to Heed
Minister Corea.

Senior Corea has received a dispatch
sell Wilson.
Yesterday he transmitted the reassur-
ing statement from President Zelaya
that he will take no hasty action in the
case, but that the prisoner must stand
trial The telegram further states that
President Zelaya Is the reviewing au-
thority, and that should Wilson be found
guilty. he will listen to the counsel of
Minister Corea.
This is regarded here as equivalent to
statement that in case of condemna-
tion the President will exercise his par
doning power. and probably deport the
young revolutionist.

better business, better health. and bet

crease in exports TO foreign countries Of
"a 40 per cent over the previous year
and 4s clio per cent increase over ex-

THE increase Is principally in sugar.

took only $4,000 worth last year. Eu-

by the Emperor.

PEKIN. July 26.-In reply to the re-
quest of Mr.. Conger, the American min
lister, the throne today granted him an
audience at which he presented Mr.

Louisiana Purchase Exposition at St

Mr.. Barrett was the bearer Of silver
invitation TO the Emperor and Chinese
people to attend the exhibition. The EN-
peror promised to send a representa-
tive.
Exclusiveness Gone.
The former exclusiveness of the
Chinese court has entirely disappeared
under the new patronage of foreigners
and the desire to meet all classes. To-
days act also shows the especial esteem
in which Mr.. Conger is held, as was
stated by the Dowager Empress, who
added that the prestige of America
guarantees an audience to anyone he
recommends.
1t is understood that China will later
on make an appropriation for a govern
ment exhibit at St. Louis, in which case
the matter will be placed in charge of
Sir Robert Hart. the imperial commits
sioner of maritime customs.

GENEVA. July 26.-The journal de
Geneye"' announces that the dispute be-
tween Italy and Switzerland because OF
an Insulting article printed in a Swiss
newspaper rejecting on the memory OF
King Humbert has been settled through
the good Offices OF Germany. Signor
Sivestrelli, the Italian minister at
Berne, and DR.. Carlin, the Swiss minis
ter at Rome, will be replaced respec-
lively by Signor Martino, the secretary
of the Italian legation at Berne, and Mr..
Marthery, the councillor OF the Swiss
legation at Rome.
The article referred to in the above
dispatch appeared In reference TO the
murdered King of Italy. and the italian
minister at once demanded that the au-
thorities prosecute the proprietors and
editors Of the paper. The Swiss govern
ment said such request should come in
the shape of formal complaint from
Italy.
The latter country declined to adopt
this course and as the result of misun-
derstandirgs both the italian minister
at Berne and the Swiss minister at
Rome were recalled and diplomatic re-
lations were broken off.
