BOARD OF TRADE HELD MEETING
YESTERDAY AND SATISFIED
PRESIDENT UMSTED.

The Brunswick board of trade held
a very important meeting in its
quarters at the city hall yesterday
morning at II o'clock which was
attended by a large number of the
members of the organization.
The feature of the meeting was the
discussion over a telegram received
by President Aiken from Mr.. Um-
sted, relating to the site of the steel
plant. Mr.. Unsted pointed out in his
telegram that the report of the engi-
neer in charge was to the effect that
the site was short some four hun
dred feet of the amount originally
agreed upon.
The board took the matter up, and
in very few minutes the grievance
of President Umeted was remedied
and another obstacle to the coming of
the plant was removed.
E. H Mason, who has been in New
York for several days was at the
meeting and made little talk in
which he took occasion to say that
in his opinion the situation as re-
CARDS the B. & B. and the steel plant
were both in very satisfactory con-
dition.
He was given the very closest at
tention by the members of the board,
and his talk was thoroughly en-
joyed.
A number of other matters of a
routine matter were taken up and
disposed Of after which the meeting
adjourned.

w. e. Stanley. whom the president
has appointed successor of Mr.. Dawes
on the commission to the Five civilized
tribes of Indian territory, has just
closed four years service as governor
of Kansas. He was born in Ohio 50
years ago, and began practicing law in
Kansas in 1870; he declined an appoint
ment by Governor Morrill, to the SUI
preme bench of the state. MIR. Stanley
has been active as a republican in po-
ltics, and as a Methodist in religion
a strong combination, even in Kansas,
where it has been supposed that sue
cessful candidate for office must be a
prohibitionist by conviction and prac-
tice. He was elected governor in 1898,
and in office won the enmity of Mrs.
Carrie Nation for lukewarmness, and
was even attacked by his son, Henry,
in the college paper of Baker uni

Even in places where the drought 1t
self is broken, great suffering exists
and will continue to exist until crops
can be raised. To meet this suffering
a famine fund has been started in Sgd
ney and has already reached the sum
of nearly $4,000 pounds. Melba gave a
benefit concert for the fund which rea-
lized a substantial amount.

CLAIMS
Of SPRECKELS
SAYS CONSTRUCTION OF STEAM
SHIPS SIERRA, SONOMA AND
VENTURA WAS FAULTY.

NEW YORK March 31.--The Oceanic
Steamship Company of which John ID.
Spreckels of San Francisco, is said to
be the principal stockholder, filed its
answer today to the suit brought H.
the United States Circuit Court by
Carroll S. Smith to recover on an as
signed claim by the William Cramp
Ship and Engine Building Company,
$22S,916 for alterations, repairs and sup
plies to the steamships Sierra, Sonoma
and Ventura, built by the Cramp
Company at cost of S2.2lj.O0O. The
defense is that the bill rendered was
caused by the faulty construction of
the ships and their failure to make
contract speed. Counter claims agsre-
gate 100000 are asserted because OF
the failure to carry out mail contracts
with the United States and New Zea-
land and for other losses due to the
alleged shortcomings of the vessels.

TRADE WITH RUSSIA,
Commerce with the United States Ex.
ceeds All Previous Records.

Washington, Aug. 16.-With public
attention turned to the subject of
Aslatic commerce, and particularly to
the trade possibilities of Manchuria,
the statement of the trade relations of
the United States with Russia lust
issued by the Bureau of Statistics is of
unusual interest. Commerce between
the United States and Russia during
the last year has surpassed all previous
records, exceeding the commerce of the
fiscal year ending a year ago by so per
cent, and amounting to nearly double
that of the year before that.
The combined exports and imports
passing between the two countries
during the fiscal year just ended
amounted to $26,SOo,000, the exports
from the United States to Russia alone
agsregating $17,6O6,S12, a sum larger by
SI,00o,OO0 than in any previous year,
with the exception of 1888.
The following table shows the total
imports from and total exports to Rus
STA for the last fourteen years:
