Russia Said to Have Invited the Pow

Trust Problem.

London, July 1S-Details Of an inn
portant move by Russia which have ev-
identity been suppressed hitherto by the
censor have transpired in London. This
move is no less than proposal by the
imperial government for an interna-
tional conference to deal with trusts.
Baron de Staal Russian ambassador
in London, about ten days ago pre-
sented to the British government note
from M. de Witte, the British minister
of finance, which note was sent also to
all the powers that signed the Brussels
sugar convention. proposing that these
powers should consider in common
means to protect international COM
merce against the artificial depression
sureS, such as export hounties or the
control of production. but also by the
much rlore dangerous processes adop
ted by trusts, private undertakings, or
cartels, which tend artiiicially to intlu-
ence the international market.
This explains the mysterious refer
ence made in the Financial Messenger
of st. Petersburg early this week to Il

Teamsters' Union Prevents Walkout
of Lumber Hauiers.


Chicago July 1S.-The officers of the
Transfers National Union put quie-
tus upon the strike of a hundred lum-
Ter teamsters last night. The union had
voted for a walk-out to support their
demand for an increase of 10 per cent
n their wages and other concessions,
and had intended to walk out this
morning. President Albert Young and
an associate officer learned of the in
tended action of the union and called
upon the officials of the Illinois Lumber
Dealers Association. The labor off,
Gals were informed that the lumber
dealers were willing to pay the advance
demanded. President Young then made
arrangements for meeting of commit
tees representing both sides tonight,
svhen it is believed the grievances of the
men will be adjusted satisfactorily.
Two hundred girls and $50 men will

There is every reason to expect that
the state will return a solid republican
delegation to congress.i said Mr. Rob-
erts. The people are in the mood to
do this.
president Roosevelt has the conf
dence and cordial support of practically
everybody in the state democrats and
republicans alike. They believe in his
integrity of purpose and ability, and
expect to seem him renominated and
reelected. There will be no opposition
in the state to a solid delegation for

ton In 1904. Sentiment is with the
president upon all the issues with
which he has identified himself.
The people of Iowa believe i'm gener-

President Roosevelt that this should be
conservative but that it should be

The crop situation is just the reverse
of what it was al this time year ago.
Then the crops We're suffering from a
severe drought. Recently there have
been excessive and destructive rains.
The conditions have grown better how
ever, than they We're ten Years ago. The
state rallied last Year and produced
fair crop of corn. Altho there was
some damage by the rains. the weather
has now cleared, and there is every rea-
son to expect a full average crop of
corn, unless there is q change in the

The most notable feature of the bus
mess situation in the west is the prev
alentl speculation in farm lands. West
and northwest of Chicago farm lands
have advanced in value an average of
more than 90 per cent. The farmers
have been enjoying high prices long
time and have money to invest. This
has led to an increased demand for
lands. and the movement has attained
speculative proportions.
almost every town and cross roads
is deeply absorbed in the topic of the
price of farm lands. There is a great
movement of farmers and spectators
into Canada to buy the cheap wheat
lands of Manitoba and the provinces
west of it. by the close of another sea-
son there will be more residents in that
region who are from the United States
than from any other region. \ great
deal of capital is being absorbed by this |
land movement, and this accounts for
the advance of interest rates. and the

Pekin, July 1.-THE preparations for
railway extensions and the continuance
of reforms, including the reconstruc-
ton OF government boards and yamens
and the destruction of records, have
actually been annulled.
The throne has issued orders to Sir
Robert Hart, imperial commissioner of
maritime customs, to remit only the
excess Of former collections of native
customs toward the payment of the
indemnity to the powers. This action
is taken, 1t is believed, in order to safe
guard the fmmemorial corruption to
which the customary revenues have
been devoted heretofore, and to defeat
the reform provided for in the protocol
1t also violates the letter of that docu-
ment.
The Chinese could find ii easy to pay

claims In short time if they were dis

would be no complication In the use of

wounds of the woman who, report has
it, was shot, but none had such Il call,
or, if he did, was willing to give in

a man came crashing thru Il window,
