London. March 11.-Delegates from a number
OF the British Chambers Of Commerce visited

Foreign Office. to-day. and presented a memo

ing out that it was feared that when the ad-

the Cubans a reciprocity treaty would be nego-
fiated, admitting Cuban produce into the United
States at reduced duties. and granting CORE
spending preferential terms 10 American prod

says:
The United States, when declaring war on

1t was, therefore, understood by those in Eu-
rope engaged In trade with Cuba that no meas
ures would be adopted at the conclusion of the
war which would restrict or destroy their trade
with that island.
Such a reciprocity treaty as that anticipa ted
would undoubtedly put end to European
trade with the island. The Chambers, there

efforts be made by his majesty's minister at
Washington TO prevent the signing Of any such
treaty. at least 10 secure that the most ia
vored treatment be continued by Cuba TO this

A FARMERS TRUST is
NOW TO Be ORGANIZED
PLAN TO KEEP DOWN MANIPULATION
BY SPECTATORS.
1t Is Also Proposed to Do Away With
the MiddlemaH. A Capital Of
Fifty Million Dollars.

J. w. Burton of Chicago, legal ad-
wiser for the proposed Farmers Trust.
outlines the chief features of the or
ganization which has been incOrpor+
ated at Pierre, S. D., with capital Of
$4,000, 900. UAder the plan no one
but farmers will be allowed to own
share of stock. Branch Offices are to
be established all over the United
States, the chief branch establishment
to be in Chicago. All kinds of farm
products are to be dealt in and handled
on commission basis or for cash, as
circumstances may direct. Deals on
the board of trade in cash grain are
also contemplated, with the object of
giving the farmer chance of getting
better price for his product and at
the same time shutting out the middle
man.
1t is believed by eliminating the
middleman and having the farmers of
the country behind it the organization
can maintain uniform price to the
benefit of the farmer without injury
to the consumer. Manipulations by
spectators and corners in grain and
other articles, it is said, will be i'm
possible, while at the same time the
prices will Incl vitality benefit the
farmer.
All commissions, save small part,
which will be given to agents in lieu
of salary, will be used as dividends to
be paid back to the farmers.
In order to dispose of stock agencies
will be established in banks through
out the country, one institution in
each county to be selected. One-half
/ the money thus received for stock will
/ be retained by the banks in each coun-
" to be lent back at low rate of iu-
terest to the farmers themselves to en-
able them, if necessary, to hold their
produce in case current prices are too
low.
BY this means 1t is expected to pre-
vent glut in the market and do away
with the temptation to unload and
foce prices downward to the benefit of
elevator men and others who have the
necessary capital to enable them to
hold for rise.

NO DRoNEs FOR THIS CHURCH
Baptists Must Worship or Be Exc

The Chestnut street Baptist church
at Gainesville, this state, has adopted
a resolution TO the effect that if any
male member of that church fails to
attend the church conferences three
times in succession such member shall
be excluded without trial frem the fei-
lowship of the church and his name
stricken from the roll. This, we learn
from the Gainesville News, is an lnno'
walton in church discipline and has
been the subject of much discussion
The pastor of the congregation, ex'
planning the resolution, is quoted az
saving: Awe don't mean 80 force OF
practice coercion in the least. The
resolution is by way of reminder to the
IN embers. and we believe they viii
come. If0ne of the church members
shows he takes no Interest in nlf
church or its welfare he is no christ
ian. and if he is no christian he has ne
business being in the church"
1t will be observed that the edlct o
the Gainesville church is directed
aesinst the men only. We ace in doub
whether this is because the women az
not need to ibe urged to go 80 churcf
and to work for the institution OF
