AMERICA TO PROTECT
CHINESE LWAYS
Canton Line Will Be Considered ar
American Institution.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 1.-THE
administration has concluded to con-
tinue to recognize the Canton railway
as an American institution, notwith-
standing the fact that majority of
the stock of the corporation recently
passed into the hands Of Belgian cap
italiStS. 4--l115t
This company was organized under
the laws of New Jersey and a majority
of the original stock was held in this
country. The line is to run from Can
ton to Hankow and will connect with
the railroad from Pekin. 1t Is under
stood that about ten miles of road
have been constructed.
The recognition involves the protec-
ton Of this property by the United
States government in case Of need. The
Belgian stockholders, 1t is said, are
very DESTROYS that the United States
shall assume this attitude toward the
road as there is some danger the prop
erty may come into conflict with the
interests of some European nations
which are extending their spheres of
influence in China

FARMERS TO UNITE
THEIR ELEVATORS
New Corporation to Engage In
Business as Soon as $751;
600 Is Subscribed.

The Minnesota Farmers Exchange
has set on foot plan to unite the 100
or more cooperative farmers elevators
In Minnesota in a corporation for clear
ing purposes. A a meeting at the sem
ate chamber in the state capitol of the
directors Of the exchange yesterday
they outlined plan for disposing of
stock Of the corporation to the Farm
ers' Elevator companies and to the
stockholders of the small companies,
and when $4,000 in stock of the state
exchange is subscribed and paid in,
the corporation will engage in the
grain business at the Twin Cities and
will handle the grain stored by the
country elevators. Authority was Civ
en- to solicit for subscriptions to the
stock on a basis of 10 per cent COM
mission to the solicitors.
The meeting yesterday was that of
the directors of the Minnesota Farm
ers' Exchange, with some half dozen
representatives of the cooperative
elevator companies scattered through
out the state. The plan outlined was
presented by President c. E. jackson
and Secretary J. S. Macdonald, with
Representative H. G. Block, Of Stearns;
J. H. Coates, of Benton, and Elias M.
STEVENSON, of Crookston, also joining
in the discussion. The advantages and
disadvantages of the plan were gone
into and it was agreed that the most
feasible way is to establish big ter
minal elevators at important points.
1t was decided that the grain bust
ness should be the first branch of ag-
riculture to be taken up by the farm
ers' organization, but that business
should not be attempted until $25,000
had been subscribed Considerable
amounts are said to have been already
subscribed, and stockholders of the
farmers cooperative elevators are said
to be taking from $40 to $500 in the
capital stock, while the companies
themselves are subscribing from $500
to $4,000 Of the stock
The Minnesota Farmers Exchange
is capitalized at 100000, and its cor
porate life began May 1. The officers
and directors of the company were
authorized by motion to engage So
Hcitors to canvass for the sale of stock
on basis Of 10 per cent commission,
and meetings are scheduled for a num-
Der of points throughout the state. The
directors adjourned their meeting sub
ject to the call Of the president and
secretary. A headquarters has been
established at Minneapolis, with the
secretary in charge, on the basis of a
salary.
