HOPE TO END RATE VAR.
Another Conference of Shipozoners
"Details Not Yet Settled.

London. July S.-High hopes are entertained by
the officials of the Board of Trade that as re-
suit Of the conference of representatives of the
shipping lines. which began yesterday, an ar
rangement will be reached to end the rate war.
The terms of the proposals made by Gerald Bal
four, president Of the Board of Trade, cannot be
learned, but it is known that he impressed upon
the heads of the steamship companies the i'm
portance to international and private interests
of bringing the ruinous competition to close.
The contentious of each company have been
brought out in the two days discussion, but be-
fore a settlement Is reached further considera-
ton will be given to the question of emigrant
and freight rates.
]. Bruce Ismay, president of the international
Mercantile Marine Company, intended to go to
Liverpool at noon to-day, but on the invitation
of the president of the Board Of Trade he re-
manned in London, and this afternoon met Mr..
Balfour Lord Inverclyde, Herr Balm, Sir Clin-
ton Edward Dawkins and Sir Francis Hopkins
at the House of Commons. 1t is said that strong
feeling exists the part of every member or
the conference that something must be done, but
even with this groundwork it will take some
time to work out the details.

HOBSON'S BAD "BRE4K."

st. Louis. July S.-A good deal of uneasiness is
manifested among the -Belmont-Sheehan com
bination over the break made by Richmond Pear
son Hobson, who this morning in his convention
speech said: Cleveland the only President
who had the hardihood TO enforce the laws against
the labor unions"
1t was not much what the captain said as his
manner OF saying it, and the circumstances sur
rounding II, that caused CONSERVATION among the
delegates. Now it is declared that the Republican
campaigners Will the speech make trouble

sons mind he used it as his first point
No sooner had he finished the declaration than
Congressman Robert Baker Of Brooklyn anti-pass
fame. shouted back at him: But he didn't enforce
the laws against trusts"
The wave OF cheering that had been started for
the hero Of the Merrmac was stopped short. The
declaration had a peculiar effect on the delegates
They began talking about it quietly all over the
hall. and many of them afterward said that It was
good thing that Captain Hobson was not the
spokesman Of his party. Some OF the comments on
the speech Were significant.

Captain Hobson told his friends last night that
his reference TO Cleveland was merely to illustrate
Cleveland's character, and was not intended as
slap at organized labor. 1t Is not likely that Cap

On account of the ease and ready profit with which 1t could be grown many immigrants were attracted to queensland and settled on the land. The government forstered cotton cultiva- ton With bonus arranged on a sliding scale, paying pounds fS34O6) per bale at nrst and about pounds (s14.59) the last the cotton industry in Queensiand-about lSIO--the area under cultivation was very large, the export of the product reach ing 40,O0O bales The best plants grew on quality of upland cotton of high-grade fiber Of creamy color. Excellent results followed these efforts, which had sprung up as consequence of the American cotton crop, until the price fell 4d. @ cents) pound for clean cotton in the London market. This fall in the price caused a general feeling of disgust among tho farmers and also a belief that cot ton could never revive. About the same time the northern gold fields fever broke out and the rush to the mines created a demand for farm produce. causing the farmers to at once cease growing cot ton Were 1t not for this combination Of circumstances cotton growing would now be one of the great staples of Queens land.
 As to the question Of labor, the cotton was picked by the children to a certain extent although aboriginals were used now be grown at a profit without any assistance from the government, even un- der present labor conditions
