Strong appeals for relief have recently
been made to President Roosevelt di-

to the interstate commerce commits

He was hoping, he also said, to do
more work, but he confessed he was
growing lazy.

BIOGRAPHICAL.

{ Francis Bret Harte, the American
poet and humorist, was born at Al
bany, N. r, in 1897. He went to Cali
fornia when II years Of age, where,
after some experience in mining
towns, he became editor of a paper in
San Francisco. From 1864 to 1870 he
was secretary of the United States
mint in that city, and in 1868 was
made editor of the newly founded
Overland Monthly. It was in this pub
ncation that Bret Harte first appeared
with those vivid dramatic sketches of
California life which gave the author
a worldwide reputation. The first was
"The Luck of Roaring Camp" and
"Tennessee's Partner" Even more
widely read we're his verses on "The
Heather Chinee," which the author
was afterwards reluctant to admit.
In 1871 Mr.. Harte removed to Bos-
ton where he was leading contributor
to The Atlantic Monthly. One of his
earliest publications was CONDENSED
Novels" containing caricatures of the
principal novelists of the time. In later
years his poetry has been chiefly in a
serious vein.

DISCUSS RATE SITUATION.
Meeting of Executive Officers Of West
l2'* ern Roads.

Chicago, May 7.-Executive officers
of Western roads met here during the
day to discuss the; rate situation. Of
this meeting The Post says: l
''The object of the meeting is to pre-
vent freight rates from going to pieces.
Officially it is stated that rates are in
no way threatened, being maintained
in strict conformity with the injunc-
tion Of the federal circuit court. AS
a matter sf fact since the injunctions
were issued outward obedience has
been made to the law. However, when
a road wants to secure a big shipment
by cutting rate special schedule is
filed with the interstate commerce
commission and the road is safe within
the law. Since the injunctions were
issued more than 600 such tariffs have
been filed. It is claimed that these
tariffs have been filed to take care Of
contracts obtained before the issuance
Of the restraining order and that all
such contracts will soon be out Of the
way.

Danbury, Conn.,, May 7.-Between
$500,000 and 100000 is the latest es-

The village fire department., which

quickly to the Mygatt block. ~
From the Mygatt building the fire

was in flames and the New England
hotel. on Main street. the villages

IN A DIFFERENT LIGHT.
Arrest Of Naval Officers an italian
BIunder.

London, May 7.-Priyate letters re-
ceived here from Rome give very diff
ferent complexion to the arrest Of the
American naval officers at Venice.
They say that instead of thanking
the King of Italy for his clemency in
parfc';,G the Americans the United
State 'ould demand an apology and
2sser; .at the members of the Amer
ican tc!cny were too eager to take the
Italian view of the situation and be-
lieved everything the Italian papers
said
A correspondent of the Associated
Press writes that when the United
States ambassador, George Won L..
Meyer, first heard the news he was
inclined to let justice follow it's
course, but on second thought he was
touched by the probable ruin of the
future career of the American officers
and therefore approached the foreign
minister, to arrange matters, if posi-.
b1e.'
The action Of the American consul
at Venice. Henry A. Johnson. was
much criticised by some people, as
showing want of TACT" but accord.
ing to reports which have now arrived
here, he acted in the most energetic
manner, and with proper backing
would have had the officers returned
to their ship.
A correspondent writes that when
the consul was summoned in a hurry
after the fight he energetically pro
tested against the arrest of the officers
and demanded their immediate re
moval on board the Chicago. The
Italian authorities, however. would moi
yield the point. The consul's failure
to exercise ''tact" seems, according tt
the correspondence from Rome, tt
have been failure to ''offer Immediate
ly adequate pecuniary compensation
for the damage done and to those
who were wounded in the fight"

TELEGRAPHIC MARKET LETTER

Minneapolis, May 7.-Those VINO
were looking for better wheat nar-
ket this morning were somewhat dis
appointed at the manner the trade ac-
cepted the cables They were very
firm but were more than Offset by per-
feet weather conditions, which have
been for some days looked forward to.
There being very little wheat held by
outside spectators, leads us 10 oalieve
the past, will be of short duration.
Good weather through the spring whe1t
belt will be of great benefit but the
acreage will not be increased propor-
tionately to the consumption. Sew
eral weeks ago we made mention of
the increased demand from China on
last few months this has increased FIVE
hundred per cent which with 500, ,OO0,-
600 people in China to cultivate taste
for American wheat, which is the best
in the world, means much for our fu-
ture production. On the other hand
the number of emigrants pouring into
America is breaking all records. It
is true quite a per cent will occupy and
develop lands that have not heretofore
been cultivated, some of which is a
very good wheat country, but will not
for several years produce enough to
supply demand from this class Of peo-
pie. There will be soft spots occa-
sionally, but they should, we believe,
be taken advantage Of, for reasonable
profits at least.
Corn was better supported today
than wheat was. Receipts showed a
material falling off with cables up
fully a half cent. Considerable mem
tion has been made Of the corn belt ex-
tending northward. While this is
generally conceded. it will not make
UP for the deficiency in Illinois, Iowa
and other states which have produced
the greater portion of this cereal We
cannot hope for but temporary recess
sions with prices around so cents.
Oats were almost featureless as were
provisions. The trade has centered
principally in wheat and corn.

LITTLE KEPT ON HAND.
Buyer for Sugar Trust Before Senate
Committee.

Washington, May 7.-Henry c. Mott
raw sugar buyer for the American Su-
gar Refining company, continued his
testimony before the senate committee
on relations with Cuba. He said the
trust purchases of sugar in Cuba from
Oct. l, 1901, to Jan. l, 1902, was 49,,
100 tons.
There was no way of showing from
the books of the trust what Americans
own sugar plantations in Cuba.
Mr.. Mott said that owing to the cost
of storing sugar and deterioration of
stored sugars the refiners kept very
little on hand and made an effort to
keep only sufficient supply to meet
the demands amounting to $4,000 tons
per week.
