critical moment in a difficult opera

DR.. Truck had been Ill from grip

Suddenly he became faint, and stag

Reciprocity Discussed in Annual
Report of Chamber of Com
merce Secretary.
He Argues That Canadian Wheat
Would Not Bear the
Market.
Despite Crop Conditions, Receipts
at Minneapolis Continue to
Be Heavy.

The annual compilation Of the Sec
rotary of the Minneapolis Chamber or
Commerce is now in the printers
hands. The report presents an array
of statistics covering the commerce or
Minneapolis for the period and makes
q very favorable showing. The fea-
ture Of the report this year 10 the
strong plea of the secretary Tor cam
adian reciprocity.
Secretary Rogers thus combats the
idea that abolishtng the tariff would
affect wheat prices adversely:
A representative In congress from this
state recently suggested in congressional
discussion in the house Of representatives
that farmers get more for their wheat In
the northwest by maintaining this tariff,
his theory being that shortage OF grain
to mill would compel our millers to pay
several cents more a bushel. He evident
ly lost sight Of the fact that a short sup
ply would cause closing Of the mills and
consequent reduction In the quantity OF
flour produced. Reduction OF available
supply would bring about a reduction In
milling to meet it and leave the relations
between millers and farmers the same as
before. The only change In conditions
would be the decrease Of flour production
to parity with the wheat supply In the
northwest. No surer way could be
adopted to curtail the flour industry OF
the whole northwest than to maintain the
tariff on Canadian grain.
Receipts Were Heavy.
The report shows that while the
wheat crops Of the past several years
have been affected by bad weather
and many conditions have been
against a heavy movement, wheat re-
ceipts In Minneapolis totaled S6,804,-
O70 bushels, and fell only 4 per cent
under the high record. With q year
of favorable conditions a new record
Is certain to be made. Oats receipts
made a phenomenal gain at 22,384,.
050 bushels, against 10,317,560 in the
previous year, and barley jumped tt
l1,233,170 bushels, against 7,783,000
OF flax there was a total Of 7,194.74t
bushels received, and OF rye, 1885,.
920 bushels.

PRESIDENT BALKS

Representative Bede Receives No
Encouragement for Rookie
Teller Agents Prominence,

From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Building, |
Washington. |
Washington, April lit Is unlike
ly that J. B. Cotton Of Duluth, repre-
sentative in Minnesota of the Stand
ard Oil and general Rockefeller in
terests, and also q delegate to the re-
publican national convention from the
Duluth district. will be permitted to
make one Of the speeches in that
convention, seconding the nomination
Of Mr.. Roosevelt.
That Mr.. Cotton Is very anxious for
such a distinction, however, and has
been making efforts to secure 1t, Is
evident by visit Representative Bede
made to the White House yesterday
| afternoon.
He told the president all about Mr..
| Cotton's eloquence, his ability and his
| solid republicanism. Then Mr.. Bede
asked II the president did not think
1t would be q good idea to have Mr.
Cotton mako one of the second1ng
speeches.
President Roosevelt has heard all
about Cotton and his relation to the
Rockefeller people and is not par
t1cularly in sympathy with hat
wing of the republican organization,
which is controlled by the trusts. Con-
!. sequently he side-stepped in most
mastery manner, informing Mr.. Bede
that, really, this was matter over
which he (the president) exercised no
, control nor would 1t be proper for
, him to do so. Why did not Mr.. Bede
. see the postmaster general, who Is
) also chairman Of the republican ma
\ tional committee. and ask what he
thought?
This was all the satisfaction Mr.
Bede could get. The postmaster gen
eral, be 1t known. is very i'll and sees
nobody. AS soon as he is we'll enough
he purposes going south for his health
but he 10 not yet even we'll enough
\ for travel.
Before seeing the president yester
day. Mr.. Bede outlined his scheme t
Senator C,app Of Minnesota, trying tt
interest him In it. What Mr.. ClapI
t said has not been revealed, but it Il
understood that it was at his sugges
ton that Mr.. Bede took the matte
to the president.
From all signs, Mr.. Cotton will no
make one Of the Roosevelt second1ni
speeches in Chicago.
