Says a stock yards authority:
Twenty years ago, when prices were
higher for all kinds of beef cattle, there
was no trust to force prices up on
themselves and sell the product to the
public at advanced prices. The fact is.
the same conditions prevailed then as
now"

Marconi's Rivals Active.

Berlin. May THE German Slaby-
Arco Wireless Telegraphy Company is
about to erect q signaling station on
the United States coast for the pur-
pose of breaking the present Marconi
monopoly at Nantucket. The Germans
are anxious that the United States
should nave an opportunity to test the
merits of their system, and they also
wish to provide means of communica-
ton with the American coast for those
German vessels now fitted with the
Slaby-Arco apparatus.
The company has high hopes Of de-
feating it's English and French COM
petitors for the Alaskan wireless con-
tract, which will soon be awarded in
Washington. Meantime there is evil
dence that many practical men do not
believe that wireless trans Atlantic
telegraphy can be made a success. The
Imperial German Cable Company is
about to make s%oundings in the Allan

IRISH A c


Senator Bree Would Abolish Stage
Carioatures of His Countryrea.
New Haven, Conn, May 7.-Senator
James p. Bree of this city. national
secretary of the Ancient Order of Hi
bernians, yesterday is discussing the
movement among Irish-American soci-
cites for the suppression If possible of
the ca~ricatures of the Irish race or the
stage and in pictorial papers, said:
There Is such a movement, n it
has gained strength considerably of
late. There is hardly a meeting of an
Irish-American society at which the
subject is not discussed. The agitation
is more for the education of the people
than a movement against the theatre
cal managers, actors n publishers.
We recognize the fact that theatrical
nag strive to give the people
what they want, and that these carlca-
lures of the race would not be present.
ed did not the people applaud them.
awe must not be considered as over
sensitive in the matter. What we OBJ
iect to Is such Observation-Disclosures eX-
nloit the worst features of the race and
make capital of the failings of human
nature and ascribe then wholly to a
type OF Irisrman which does not exist
An Irishnlan can stand a joke just as
we'll as any other nationality, but nc
does not enjoy jokes that belittle his
race. All I can say about the matter
is this: Tha. hereafter plays that eX-
r,oit the burlesaued Irishman will not
receive as large patronage as one that
treats the nationality decently."

Hiahly Favorable Weather Conditions
in Nearly All Sections.
Washington, May THE weather
bureaus weekly summary Of tbs crop
conditions is as follows:
Nearly the entire country east of the
Rocky mountains, has experienced a
week of highly favorable conditions.
and the central valleys, lake region.
middle Atlantic states and portions of
Texas and Oklahoma have received
generally ample, but in places uneven
ly distributed rainfalls.
Except in portions of Iowa and Mis-
souri,, where corn planting has been in
terfered with by heavy rains, this work
has made very favorable progress in
the states of the central valleys. and
the early planted is generally germin-
ating we'll. Some planting has been
done in South Dakota and planting will
be commenced this week in Michigan.
Preparations for planting in the ex-
treme northern portion of the corn belt
are well advanced and the soil is in
generally excellent condition. In the
southern states COFu mas lIituS ldNOl-
able progress.
A very general improvement in con-
dition of winter wheat is reported from
the central valleys, lake region n
middle Atlantic states.
The crop. however, has suffered in
portions of Nebraska, Kansas n
Texas. and in the last named state has
failed so rapidly in sections that some
will be plowed up for other crops. Fa-
vorable reports continue from Califor-
MIA, except in the southern part of the
state. In Oregon and Washington the
crop, tho late. is in promising condition,
especially in Oregon.
Spring wheat seeding has been de-
layed in North Dakota and northern
Minnesota, but has made favorable
progress in the southern portion of the
spring wheat region, where the early
sown has terminated we'll and is in
good condition and growing vigorously.
Oats have made very favorable pro-
gress, except in Nebraska, Texas and
portions of Missouri and Alabama.
Seeding is nearly finished in most of
the n%ortherly sections. The crop is
ripening in the southern States; har-
vesting has begun in South Carolina.

Weiahina of the Mails.

Council Bluffs, May THE extern
sion of the time during which the mails
are being weighed at the Union Trans
fer station, as well as at all points west
OF the Missouri river, Is said to have
been due to some heavy washouts or
The Great Northern and Northern Pa
cihc roads, both of which send mails via
this city. The washout mad it neces-
sary for the mails to be sem over other
roads,, and 1T is understood that the
government desires to get four or five
weeks of continuous and normal weigh
ing on all roads. The weighing of the
mails was commenced on March 4,
with the expectation that it would not
last over thirty-five days. From the
present indications 1t may continue for
several weeks yet.

CAUCUS LIKELY
Iowa Delegation Will Not Decide
Federal Patronage Question
for Some Time.
Apparently Impossible to Get
the Members to Attend a
Caucus.
Lot Thomas Said to Be Shaving
Matters Off Until After
Convention.

Washington, May 7.-Senator Allison
made a very determined effort yester-
day to get a conference of the Iowa
members of congress for next Saturday
to settle the question of federal APP
pointments in the Hawkeye state. He
sent kilograms to Congressman Hedge
and Rumple, the two ~absentees. but
both stated it would be impossible for
them to be present next Saturday, Mr..
Hedge asking tina the meeting be post
poned until the following Saturday. Mr..
Rumple wired that his physician adj
vised that he postpone his return to
Washington for at least q week. and that
he accepted his physicians advice.
AS Congressman Conner. of the
Tenth district, will leave for his home
in Denison on Thursday it loks as If the
conference of the Iowa delegation
would not be held until after all the
congressional conventions are held.
Representative Cousirs .tated las
night that he would place in nomination
Doth Patterson and Mcmillan for the
positions they now hold. nothwith-
standing both gentlemen live in his dis
trict. He said that they We're both first
termers" and deserved reappointment
according to the precedents of the
party in Iowa.
While Representative Thomas has
seemingly been assiduous in bringing
about a meeting of the delegation
there is a quiet feeling growing that
Mr.. Thomas would have conveniently
absented himself had there been any
chance of a meeting in the last month
or six weeks. In point of fact, some
of the members Of the Iowa delegation
not hesitate to charge the silent
statesman from Storm Lake with play
ing double, and it is believed here
that Mr.. Thomas Ices o want the
delegation to get together and
parcel out h federal offices until after
his congressional convention. In view.
these conditions it may be late In the
before the members from Iowa
to settle the question OF fed
eral appointments, which involves two
collectors Of internal revenue.

ity. | deny that we owe anything to
Cuba. On the contrary. Cuba is our
Gebtor. ! shall, therefore, oppose this

1t is no secret that the members of
the Kansas delegation in the house are
somewhat divided on the Cuban reci-
procity proposition, and all of them are
anxious to receive the instructions of
their state convention on the subject.
All of the congressional conventions
held in the state have declared in favor
cs the presidents recommendation for
legislation for the relief of Cuba, and it
is expected hat the state convention
will endorse this position. If such action
is taken by the state convention, it will

Senator Burton. and viii serve to ac-
centuate the differences between him
and the administration.
. Senator Burton is also opposed to the
president in another matter that VIII
soon demand the attention of the SEN
ate. The Kansas senator has expressed
his intention Of voting against the con-
frmation of II. Clay Evans, pension
commissioner. who has been appointed
consul general to London. 1t is also re-
ported that some opposition will ON
from other senator's, who have been APP
realed to by Grand Army constituents
to oppose the confirmation. 1t is pIac-
tically certain, however, that the oppo-
sition will not be effective. but that the
appointment will be confirmed. The
president, as already stated in these
dispatches. has determined not to send

Illinois Conven+;on rLn.


Springfield, ILL.,, Nav 7.-Deiag,+es

which is to be held here on Thursdav
began to arrive last night. and toda,.
perhaps 200 of them are in town. Con.
gresham Hopkins. senatorial candi-
oate arrived yesterday morning and at
once opened headquarters. Senator
MASON arrived In the afternoon.
Sharles q. Dawes will be here some>
time today.
II is the consensus of opinion among
delegates now on the ground that Hop
kins will be strongly Endorsed in the
platform and thus virtually made the
candidate of the party for United
States senator.
Mr.. hopkins himself expresses the
utmost confidence that this will be he
result. The Endorsement will be much
stronger than that accorded to Cullom
two years ago, and will name Hopkins
as the choice of the convention for
senator. Senator Mason, however, will
not concede this result. He said TODAY
that on a roll call Mr.. Hopkins can not
command enough votes to secure an
Endorsement.
IF Mr.. Hopkins" said Senator
Mason, fails to secure an Endorsement
from this convention he will be abso-
lutely out Of the race for senator. If,
on the other hand. the convention
should pass some sort of a resolution
of Endorsement. that will not end the
fight, which will be continued as far
as / am concerned as ii nothing had
happened" s.
The decisior of the Cook county lead
ers to ask for two places or the state
ticket has developed strong opposition
among the country delegates, but 1t
is regarded as probable.that the propo-
sition will be accepted by he conven-
ton and that Christopher Manner will
be nominated for clerk of the supreme
court and Fred A. Busse for state
treasurer. Professor Alfred Bayliss of
S%treator will probably be renominated
for state superintendent of public in
struction. The convention beyond
doubt will be organized by the Yates
Hopkins faction. Congressman Can
non will probably be temporary chair
man, with lieutenant Governor North
colt permanent chairman.
C. r. Paul, editor of the State Jour-
nal, will present to the convention a
resolution i%nstructing the state COM
mittee to prepare a constitution for the
government of the party. to be adopted
by the next state convention.

Washington, May All of the re-
publican members of the Kansas dele

May 2S. This decision is the result Of
the latest developments in the Cuban
reciprocity situation, and the attitude
on that question just taken by Senator
Burton, of Kansas. President Roosevelt
is apparently determined to force reci-
procity legislation with Cuba at this
session If possible. This position Of the
president is causing some worry among
the Kansas members, and will result In

II, 900 cattle were received, which was
considerably less than expected. Sup
plies for the first half of the week We're
only 5000, compared to 3S,446 the same
time last week. Such remarkably small
offerings are serving to in part to
greatly increase the strength of the
market and Mondays advance was fol-
lowed by further improvements of 10
to Is cents per hundred this morning.
Hogs-About 1900 nave been mar
keted here so far this week, against

estimated receipts today of 10000 the
demand was fairly active once more,
but the market developer fresh weak
ness and sales showed farther reduc-
tons Of 5 to 10 cents per hundred.
Sheep-Under a run Of $4,000, which
was just about the volume expected,
trade ruled slow and weak today, some
best lambs and native sheep selling
about steady, but the bulk went at 5 to

slack trade, heavy taxation and a poor

of the exodus.
