GRAIN AND MILLING TRUST.


Topeka, Kan, July 10.-At a con-
ference held in this city yesterday
between Walter V. Vrooman and rep
resentatiyes of the various milling
and grain concerns OF the state plans
were discussed for the formation of
a farmers grain and milling trust"
All parties concerned were favorable
to the organization and the founda-
ton of the concern was laid. 1t is
likely that the plans will be com
pleted within a short time and that
the new crop of grain will be
handled.
The idea is to de away with the
middle man and handle the wheat
product of the state directly from
the farmers to the elevators and
millers without paying commission.
The Vrooman line of cooperative
stores, the Hoffman mills and line
of elevators. the Solomon Co-Opera-
tive Grain company, seven or eight
elevators on the Union Pacific and
the Western Milling company, of Sa-
lima, propose to enter the trust.

SENATOR VESTS VIEWS.
lie Thinks Brysn's Declaration That DEM

sas City Platform Mistake.

Washington, July Ex-senator
Vest expressed his opinion very de-
cidedly that man may be good
democrat without indorsing the
declaration in the Kansas City plat
form for the free and unlimited coin
age of silver at the ratio OF 16 to l.
His connection with the party, run
ming through half century, his long
and distinguished career in the SEN
ate, where he has been leading ex-
ponent of democratic principles,
make the expression Of Senator Vest
very important and interesting at
this time. The senator said: Il have
no objection to stating that, while
| am bimetallist, sincerely and tru-
ly, and believe that silver Is money
of ultimate redemption, | do not
think this is the time to make the
free and unlimited coinage of silver
at 16 to paramount issue. | be-
lieve that a man can be good demo-
crat without indorsing the declara-
ton in the Kansas City platform for
the free and unlimited coinage Of
silver at 16 to without the consent
OF foreign countries. | will further
state that think Mr.. Bryan's decla-
ration, made in his paper and in his
speeches at Chillicothe and other
places in Missouri, that no man
should be sent as delegate to any
county, state or national convention
who does not indorse the Kansas City
platform in its entirety is a very
great mistake. If this is to be the
est of democracy in Missouri, men
will be read out Of the party who,
Ike myself, have voted the ticket for
% years, but who now believe that

md unlimited coinage of silver at the

A STRIKE SETTLED.
Freight Handlers and Railroad
Managers Come to Terms.
TRANSFERS ACTION POTENT FACTOR
They Intimstsd That They Would Give
No Assistance to the Freight Handler,
~ They struck Against the Labor
FederatiOn's Advice

Chicago, July 1O.-The strike Of
the freight handlers is virtually set
tied. Meetings of the strikers will
be held to-day to ratify the action
taken last night by President Cur
ran, Of the order, but inasmuch as
he stated last night, after a confer
ence with the general managers of
the railroads, that he had agreed to
their terms because the majority of
his men were going back on him,
there Is little doubt that the terms
will be accepted by the mass meet
ing OF the strikers to-day.
BY the terms of the settlement the
strikers accept the schedule of wages
offered them by the railroads on
July 1. This schedule was emphat-
ically refused by the strikers at the
time it was made. 1t offered an
average increase of 20 per cent. for
oil classes of labor connected with
the freight handlers union. The de-
mands of the men would have made
an average increase of about 80 per
cent. The railroads at the time Of
offering the increase on July 1 said
that under no circumstances would
they recognize the union of the
freight handlers to the extent of al
lowing the officers of the organiza-
tons to make terms for the men
with the officers of the railroads by
which they were employed. This
was one OF the chief reasons for the
strike, the men insisting that the
union should be fully recognized.
The railroads have won complete
victory on this point. The attitude
OF the roads toward the freight
handlers union is the same as that
maintained toward all local organi-
cations Of railroad men. The freight
handlers demanded something that
no other organization Of railroad
employees in Chicago had asked, and
the managers announced that under
NO circumstances would they agree
TO this.
President Curran, of the freight
handlers union, said after the meet
ing with the general managers last
night that he practically had been
compelled by his men to accept the
terms Of the roads. "Two-thirds Of
them would have gone to work in the
morning anyhow" he said. land it
was simply a question of doing the
best possible under the circum-
stances. The railroads agree to take
Jack all the strikers who will apply
Tor their old positions by noon to-
lay.
The action of the transfers was
potent factor in settling the strike.
They took strong issue with the
freight handlers and intimated very
plainly that no assistance could be
expected from them, inasmuch as
he freight handlers had struck
against the advice of the Chicago
federation of Labor.

THE MIMIC PLAY AT WAR.
There VIII Be Two Distinct Sets Of MAN.
euvers In the Army and Navy
Sham FightA

Washington, July 10.-There are
to be two distinct sets of maneuvers
in the army and navy tactics. The
first will be purely naval and will
consume probably the first three
weeks of August. Two, or perhaps
three, OF the vessels belonging to the
North Atlantic station will represent
an enemy's fleet and will attempt to
elude a defensive squadron, CON-
manded by Rear Admiral Higginson,
and accomplish landing at some
point on the New England coast in
side of limits not yet prescribed.
The duty of the defending squadron
will be to send out scouts to locate
the "enemy's" vessels before they
can reach the coast. At these naval
maneuvers the officials hope to ex-
pertinent with wireless telegraphy,
if suitable arrangements can be per-
fected in time, and it is said there
also will be experiments in coaling
ships, transporting supplies and
other comparatively minor features
of naval warfare.
The second and more important
set of summer maneuvers will consist
OF a naval attack on point on the
North Atlantic coast by a supposed
hostile fleet, which attack is to be
met by joint defense by the army
and militia, assisted by small num-
Der of naval vessels detached for the
purpose from the North Atlantic
squadron. Not only will the defense
consist of handling and firing the
guns, but it will also be a test Of
the appliances, such as range finders,
telegraphic facilities, signal opera.

essary in perfect seacoast fort.
