NO CAUSE FOR ALARM.
A London Diplomat Says There Will
Be No General War.

London, Aug. 17.--According to infor-
nation in possession of diplomats of
London there is no reason at this mo-
ment to fear the danger of differences
between the powers in respect to Mace
donia or that the trouble will spread
beyond the confines of Turkey. One of
these who is participating in the ex-
change of notes regarding the situation
said to a representative of the Associat-
ed Press today:
1.-THE powers are acting harmonious
ly. Nothing has developed to indicate
any suspicion or cause for suspicion OF
the motives underlying the demands
made by Russia on the porte. A full
exchange of views has occurred be-
tween the powers interested. Mr.. Bal
four's statement in the commons out
lining Great Britain'e attitude and the
warnings of Austria and Russia to Bull
garia proves that these three nations
are in accord and the adviceS received
at my embassy show that France and
Germany approve the policy of Russia
and Austria. War between Turkey and
Bulgaria might lead to a general con-
flagration. 1t is to prevent complica-
tiOns of such a grave character that
every effort is being made by the pow
ers to maintain peace between those
countries.
within As hours the Russian squad
ron will reach whatever point has been
selected. There is no doubt that the
sole object of this movement is to make
Turkey understand that Russia's de-
mand must be complied with without
delay.
Il have confirmatory advices as to
the general character of the revolution.
Turkey has a free hand so far as the
military operations within her own ter
ritory are concerned, but the suppress
sion of the revolt is not matter of a
week and the longer it drags on the
plications which all the powers are
zealOusly laboring to prevent.

Kansas Millers Experiencing an
Era of Prosperity.
Minneapolis Northwestern MILL
er Discusses the Situation.
CROP is NOT so LARGE.
Wheat in Minnesota Not Up to
Standard.
Talk of Increasing the Output
of Flour.

According to reports in the milling
journals. the milling business of Kan
sas is booming and is likely to con-
tinue to do so. With a good market
there seems to be no reason WHY it
should not do so, for Kansas not only
has the biggest crop of wheat but also
the best quality this year, while other
wheat producing regions are short in
yield and in some of them the wheat
is of inferior quality.
The Northwestern Miller. of Mime
apolis. Mimi, is the leading milling
Journal of the world. 1t covers the en-
tire field of flour production every week
It's Kansas City correspondent makes
the following report on the situation in
Kansas in the current issue:
Practically every merchant mill in
Kansas is sold ahead to it's capacity.
As consequence there is no pressure
to sell -four and mills are not offering
freely Buyers here find it difficult to
get offers or reasonable quotations from
Kansas mills. and requests for prices
usually bring the information that no
further sales can be made for this
months shipment. The result is that
new business is largely confined to
sales for forward shipment. This busi
ness is being done moderately at about
sales That are on mill books are very
largely for foreign account. So far
mills have not been in line fer any con-
siderable business to the larger eastern
markets. and buyers there now COM
plain that Kansas can not hope for
business with them at present quota
t1ons or anything more than a consid-
cradle reduction under present offers.
Ii the engagements of freight for July
can be taken as measure of the for
eign business done by Kansas mills,
and millers have never made a prac-
tice of booking freight save against
actual sales. the export sales of flour
have been larger in the past four or
nVe weeks than in any similar period
in the history Of milling in the south
west -
The greatest flour producing region of
America heretofore has been the north
west-vMinnesota and the Dakotas. The
acreage of wheat in Minnesota is gener-
ally about the same as that in Kansas,
Dut the average crop is not as great as
that OF Kansas. Taken with the crop of
the Dakotas, however, it is generally
greater, and a far larger per cent of it is
