Conditions could not be more sharply
contrasted The stress of money scarcity
has been more severe this year because
the country is the more prosperous. and
for this reason there may be continn-
ance of the present situation longer into
the new year than usual, but matters will
right themselves eventually.
When the figures for 1901 are compil-
cd, it will be found that in all lines of
commerce we have done more than in the
previous year. The one item of over
shadowing importance on the reverse side
is the enormous falling off in exports
of corn. We did not have the corn to
SELL abroad. The coming year will see
great change We are already beginning
to catch up, and will finally wipe out the

Des Moines Full of Reports of
Impending Trouble.
MUCH TALK OF BIG RAISE
Same Reports Are Circulated Each
Year, But This Spring, Owing to
Past Seasons Coal Conditions and
Trouble in East, Rumors Are Wild.

Des Moines, March 9.-The annual
trouble rumors are being circulated in
this city again, relative to the miners
and coal operators of the state. Re.
ports have been published each year
to the effect that strike is imminent,
but each year such strike has been
averted by the good sense of the
members of the two bodies and their
scale committees. This year, as the
time for the joint convention, begin.
ming her tomorrow, approaches, the re-
ports become stronger, and one of the
papers declares that many ofithe dele
gates will not accept anything less than
a raise of 121s per cent. However,
miners and operators do not talk that.
way to any extent and it is confidently
expected that the joint convention this
year will establish a record for speed
and harmony Although the miners
expect to insist upon raise some
what in proportion to the raises secur-
edl elsewhere, notably in Illinois, they
remember that the operators have sew
eral matters on their hands which de-
serve as much attention as the claims
of the men who are employed by
them. This being true, it is very safe
to say that the convention this year
will not justify the wild rumors of an
imminent strike that are being
broached by some of the papers in the
state
Today the operators are holding two
separate and secret sessions in this
city and nothing will be known re-
garding the result of these confer
ences, which relate to the scale, until
tomorrow, when the joint scale COM
mittee will meet. Operators are arriv-
ing from all parts of the state, and
others will come to the city tomorrow.
A report has been circulated in Des
Moines today that many of the dele
gates say they will not agree to an
increase of 1917 per cent this year and
they demand one of at least 90 per
cent. The more conservative say thai
this is entirely erroneous and that no
one has been authorized to make such
a statement.

Supreme Court Makes De-

DEMANDS NEW TRIAL
Holds That Proceedings Against Mis-

Washington, D. c., March 9.-The
United States supreme court today
rendered it's first opinion in the inter-
state commerce case, in which the FL
kins act, passed at the last session of
congress, was dealt with. The case
was that of the Missouri Railroad
Co. VS. the United States, involving the
question of discrimination on the part
of the railroad as between places. The
company filed a demurrer to the bill
challenging the regularity of the pro
ceeding, but the lower courts had held
ethe proceeding regular in its decis-
ion in favor of the contention of the
United States. These decisions were
reversed by today's opinion, which was
delivered by Justice White He said
that by the terms of the old law, un
der which the case was tried, the pro.
ceeding would not have been regular
but under the Elkins law it would be
The court therefore sent the case back
for new trial under the EllSins act.
