1t is plain that congress will make the full appro
praton Of 49, l25000 asked for the Lewis and CIarl
exposition. When the Oregon senators first took uE
the matter Of securing the appropriation there was
pronounced sentiment at Washington against fur
ther fair appropriations. So many cities had asked
aid for expostons that the fair scheme was regard
ed by many as Of the graft order. With his sent
ment to contend with the senator's set about to ere
ate favorable opinion toward the Portland fair, and
have succeeded to such extent that the entire amount
asked will unquestiOnably be made available W.
could have no better evidence of the hustling quail
ity OF our delegation than this one circumstance
and Oregon has every reason to feel proud Of Sen
ators Mitchell and Fulton They constitute rarc
working team and should be kept at Washington
just as long as they can be induced to remain.

The United States supreme court handed down a
decision on Monday which tends to define, perhaps
little more sharply the civil status of the inhab-
Hants OF our insular dependencies says the New
York Tribune. Porto Rican woman. seeking ia

OF the ocean port, but having failed to do so in the
past, II is not too late to repair the damage already
done. The time is ripe for friendly conferences
between the commercial interests of Portland and
Astoria and it is devoutly to be hoped the effort
will assume proportions

Chicago. April ia bearish mood
from the start in wheat was induced by
lower cables and an official forecast Of
showers and warmer temperatures from
Kansas July opened unchanged to sc
lower at S65s 20 s.. Offerings We're quite
liberal and apparently there was little
inclination to support the market. The
desire TO sell was increased by the Kan
sas state report. which made the condi-
ton Of winter wheat So compared with
Is as reported from Washington. Al
though advices from Indiana, Michigan
and Ohio We're insistent regarding the
seriousness Of crop damage in those
states. the traders seemed disinClined to
pay heed An impression appeared fixed
that prevailing prices more than dis
counted any damage TO the crop as q
whole. There was little other news of a
character TO encourage the bulls and in
consequence long wheat continued 10

Cold weather throughout the west
caused a fair demand for corn at the
opening. and In consequence the market
was comparatively firm, considering the
easier tone in wheat. But sentiment
soon changed and prices started down

sale and 10 came out I'm such volume as

CURBS A TRUST ON
ISLAND OF GUAM
Lieut.. Stone. Acting Governor. Does Il
by Threatening to Prosecute

WASHINGTON, D. c.. June IL
Lieut.. Raymond Stone, a young naval
othcer. acting governor of Guam. has
torced food trust on that island to re-
duce prices of the necessaries Of life
SOLO to natives. This action is taken
In an order in which the acting gov
ernor says:
The high prices of articles coming
under the class of necessities Of life'
now being charged the natives of this
island. whereby the people thereby are
sorely distressed, render it advisable
Tor the government to take such stems
IN establishing commercial selling
prices on certain articles as NAV he
found necessary to relieve the distress
or the people. The government is in
receipt Of information showing that the
existing exorbitant prices on foodstuffs.
which are plainly not justified by the
necessity of first cost, etc, are due
largely to collusion on the part of cer-
tain merchants of Agana, whose COM
blnaticn is for the purpose Of keeping
prices up. Such combination is eyi-
IDENTIFY destructive of fair competition
to the benefits of which the people are
justly entitled and moreover comes un-
der the prohibitory code now IN force
on this island"
The order expressed the hope that
the inhabitants would be accorded low
er prices and obviate the necessity OF
governmental action. The merchants
promptly observed the order.
