The scope aud financial resour-
ces of the approaching st. Louis
Worlds Fair are much larger than
those of any preceding great expo
sit,on, and they are much larger
than those of any other exposition
likely to be held in this country
during the next few decades. st.
Louis in 1904 will be real Worlds
Fair, with exhibits and visitors
from every known country.
The Mine Buildings at the expo
sition will cover nearly nine acres
and it is so we'll arranged that
practically the entire space, except
that occupied by walls, is easily
available for exhibits. 1t promises
to be the most beautiful building
on the grounds, and its location IS
in every way satisfactory. On one
side of il for a considerable por-
ton of it's length, the ground rises
gently to height of forty feet |
above its floor, aud into this hill
can be run underground tunnels,
to illustrate methods of tunneling, |
timbering, aud the underground
transportation and handling of |
ores in the most satisfactory man !
ner Gu the ground adjacent to |
the building is an additional area
of ten acres for such out-of.door
as will illustrate the drill |
ing of oil wells, the operation Of !
stamp mills. the hydraulicking of
places deposits, etc.
In brief, as far as this may be
possible of attainment, these ex-
hibits are all planned and will be
installed with a view Of having
hem tell the whole story as to our
resources; how they are
mined and brought to the surface.
low they are transformed by the
netallurgist and anufacturer and |
hus made ready for use by the

CONDITIONS CHANGE.
Charles S. MeIlen Says His Words of
 Ten Years Ago Do Not Count.

New York, October 2S.--Charles s. Mel len. who has just turned the presidency of the Northern Pacific railroad over to Howard Elliott. is taking a brief rest in this city, prior to assuming the presi- dency of the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad to which position he expects to be elected next. Saturday, His attention being called to public state. ments that he was on record as being op- posed to the New Haven and Hartford's $ policy of electrical traction expansion. Mir. Mellen said: "Whatever l may have said ten years ago, can have no possible significance now. Railroad conditions have changed radically within the last ten years and 1t has been necessary for railroad managers to change their views No successful railroad man has stood still. l expect to take up things as I find them in the New York, New Haven and Hartford and deal with each uues- tion as the eXigencies demand"
 Speaking of the Northern Pacific. MT. Mellen said:
 T believe that the Northern Pacific is in as good physical condition as any road in the country. It is a fine road and Howard Elliott, the new president is a fine man. The Alaska boundary decision will be of decided benefit to the Ameri- can railroads Had the award of the com mission been the other way, all of the traffic to and from the territory in dis pute would have been taken away from the American lines and turned over to the Canadian Pacific"

STRIKE is SETTLED.
Dubuque Car Men Reach an Agree
ment With Their En-

Dubuque, Ia, June 25.-The street
ear strike, which for the past six weeks
aas completely tied up the traction
ines and which for the past week
aas filled the streets with soldiers, was
amicably settled last night at IL
o'clock.
Terms of the agreement were reached
by O'Clock, but formal acceptance by
he principals was not obtained until
he hour stated.
The committee rejected the original
demands Of the men for exclusion Of
aon- union men from the company's
service and for requiring the COM
oany to submit to the union its rea-
sons for the discharge of any man.
The cause of the strike May 6 was
The discharge of Deveraux, Noonan and
dennessey, who had appeared as a
grievance committee. The company
;ontended that they had been dis
charged for violation Of rules. The COM
nittee awarded them clearance cards
Ind a letter Of commendation for yol-
lntarily withdrawing.
The company agrees to reinstate all
,ther men, discriminate against no
lnion man, receive the unions griey-
ance committee, and allow appeals on
grievances from the general manager
20 directors.
Adjutant General Byers will order
he militia away today.

IOWA TARIFF PLANK.
II Practically Reaffirms the ST. Louis
National Platform Of '96.

| j
Washington, June 25.-President
Roosevelt guided the hand that put
the final touches on the tariff plank Of
the Iowa platform to be adopted next
week. and George e. Roberts, director.
of the mint, started for Iowa last night
with the Roosevelt idea" Roberts in
1901 went on a similar mission to the
same state for Mckinley.
The plank drawn is not statement
SO positive as Cummins and his friends
wished, but after all it is a harnonizer
and will eliminate all possibility of par
ty feuds in Iowa on the eve of presi-
dental election.
The plank finally agreed upon almost
parallels the tariff plank Of the ST.
Louis convention Of 1896. It renews
the allegiance of Iowa republicans to
the policy of protection as foundation
of Americas Industrial growth and an
upholder of the American standard Of
wages. 1t demands equitable tariff on
foreign imports which do not come in
competition with American products
both for purposes Of revenue and pro-
lection to American labor.
The concession to Cumnins is after
all no stronger than the st. Louis plat
form, as the plank simply says that
the party is not pledged to any partic-
ular rates, but that schedules should
be regulated by conditions Of time and
production. In conclusion, the plank
states the republican party should not
hesitate to revise the tariff schedules
when 1t becomes apparent changes are
neceSSary. 54f5t..s "a ~ III

ATTACKED BY WOLVES.
Two Fierce grutes Whip Bird


Sioux Falls, S. D.. June 25.-While DR..
G. Z. Page, accompanied by Olaf Hautro,
was driving on the school section about
three miles west of Sioux Falls they OBJ
served that their wagon was being fol-
lowed by two large wolves
Two hunting dogs belonging to Dr. Page
We're running in front of the wagon, and
these seemed to have been selected as the
especial prey of the wolves, for after fol-
lowing the wagon some distance they
watched their opportunity and attacked
one of the bird dogs, Gripping it to such
an extent that it had to be placed in the
wagon.
The wolves, which were unusually fierce,
then started in pursuit of the other dog,
which, however, succeeded in reaching
the wagon before the wolves could at
tack it.
Both men say they never saw wolves
which We're so bold. In their efforts to
attack the dogs they ran right around
the wagon, and, had DR.. Page and MI.
Hautro been provided with firearms, the
wolves were frequently SO close to them
that they could easily have been killed
with a shotgun.
DR.. Page, when the wolves attacked and
crippled one>of the dogs, went to the as
sistance of the animal, and even then the
wolves wollid come up close to him and
were with difficulty driven away
The wolves followed the party for dis
tance of about two miles.

DEATH RATE DECREASES
Sanitary Conditions in Manila
Have Brought About
Wondrous Change.

Washington June 25.-surgeon Gen
eral O'Reilley has received a report
from medical officers in the Philippines
which shows a steady decrease in the
death rate in the city of Manila as the
result of operations of the medical Off.
GERS Of the army
The death rate of Manila for the first
quarter of the past four years has de-
creased steadily, from 1880 per 1000
population for the first quarter in 1900
22.17 for the first quarter in 1903.
Assistant Surgeon Munson says much
improvement in conditions this year
mas been accomplished in spite of the
fact that Asiatic cholera and Bubonic
plague both previously had gained
foothold in the islands and that the
existence of a largely unva ccinated
population in provinces meant con
stant introduction in the city Of infec-
tions of small pox.
Cases of plague, cholera and small
poX have occurred in Manila during
the present year but precautions taken
by the board of health have prevented
an epidemic therefrom. According to
Munson the present death rate of Man
Mia compares not nnfavorab1y with
San, Francisco, Washington, Boston
and New York, GLASGOW, Paris, Vienna,
and Havana.

HAS PLENTY OF MOISTURE.
5eadie County Crop Prospects Are Still
Roseate.

Huron, S. D., June 25.-Beadle coun-
ty, and in fact this portion of the
James River Valley, has received cop
ious rains during the past week. A
wind and hail storm passed over the
central part Of the county on Thurs
day, doing small injury to grain and
corn, but garden stuff, vines, etc, were
badly cut. In localities where the
heaviest hail fell, crops are fast re-
covering, and no serious damage will
result. The ground is thoroughly sat
urated and growth has been rapid dur
ing the week. A few warm days was
specially helpful to corn; that crop is
doing fairly we'll, and generally fields
are free from weeds; cutworms have
ceased work in most places. Indica-
tons point to barley and oats and rye
harvest little later than last sea-
son; these grains are coming on rapid
ly since the rains, and the outlook is
very promising. Potatoes are being
disturbed by bugs but farmers are cul-
tivating the crop for the last time and
report good prospects. Some fields of
speltz are not as promising as hoped
Tor, but the crop generally looks good.
"A considerable acreage of new land will
be broken within the next two weeks,
as the ground is in fine condition for
that work
