Another Breach Of Neutrality
Will Cause Russia to Regard
China as Belligerent and
Change Affairs i'm Far East.

St. Petersburg. Aug. 26 7:45 a. M
The Russ today declares 1t Is In a
position to state authoritatively that
there is not the slightest foundation
for the report that Ialy has suggested
to France an offer of her good offices
on behalf of Russia.
An inspection of the cruiser Askold
proves, according to the Russ, that the
damage is irreparable and she is forced
to disarm. thus closing one phase of
the incident. Protection of the cruiser
now devolves upon China and. Incl
dentally upon the neutral powers hav-
ing warships at Shanghai. The paper
adds this warning:
"The protection must be effective, as
another breach of neutrality on the
part of Japan will force Russia to re-
gard China as a belligerent, and thus
change the whole aspect of affairs in
the far east"
The Novoe vremya supposes. now
that the yladivostok squadron is tenn
porarily out of commission. contra
band trade will resume full swing. "es-
pecially since the Smolensk-which
has proved to be the flying Dutchman
to English traders on the South Af-
rican routes now definitely headed
off,"
Comparing the methods of the two
countries. the Novoe yremya con-
continues:
I'VE must confess we prefer the
open, frank hostility with which the
United States has been supplying food
stuffs and war material to Japan to
the hypocritical manner in which Eng
land has been carrying on the same
trade"

THE BEST ADVERTISING.

The following item, from the Eugene
Morning Register. illustrates the value
Of a wide-awake newspaper in the way
of creating an interest in given re-
gion:
Lane county continues to read the
benefits of the Morning Registers

niversary edition. Yesterday Henry
Douglass of Lyon county. Iowa, arriv
ed here to seek a location. he having
been apprlsed of our superior advan-
tages through the medium of the Reg
ister's anniversary number good re-
suits from which are being reaped from
it's broadcast distribution throughout
the east, Mr.. Douglass says that no
less than 100 different families Of his
neighborhood perused single copy Of
the edition, and that they are now
awaiting his verdict before pulling up
stakes" to cast their lots with us. 1t
is needless to state that his verdict will
be in favor of the "plaintiff'' on the
grounds of prima facie evidence. The
overland. which brought Mr.. Douglass
to our borders, consisted of II coaches
chock full of homeseekers. He says
that Oregon was on everybody's lips.
According to Mr.. Douglass. the Iowa
wheat crop is total failure, but oats
and corn are pretty good crops. Com
ing through the Dakotas he ascer-
tained that these big cereal states will
fau short of their averages by long
odds-that not over 10 bushels to the
acre will be realized.

New York, Aug. 26.--Rerorts to the
International Mercantile Agency re-
fleet distinct Improvement In busi-
ness conditions during the week under
review. At the west the gains have
been specially noted and are partially
accounted for by Increased orders from
retailers who were careful not to over
stock with summer goods ana are con-
seauently In an unusually strong posit-
Ion with reference to securing fall sup
plies. Good orders are being received
from country merchants. While dis
patches from various centers are not
uniform In expressing trade revival
the tone Is more confident than week
ago and generally suggestive OF a hope
full outlook for the future. This re-
vlval is practically reported by Chica-
go wholesalers. The best demand is
noted In clothing. men and womens'
apparel and shoes. Consumption of
commodities and better orders for
canned goods and groceries are further
indications OF trade revival In this dis
trict. The south Is also active and is
likely to develop the heaviest fall trade
reported In years,
The st. Paul district which has been
the center OF crop damage excitement,
Is showing up well with conservative
business and normal trade outlook. In
that section as In other territory whose
prosperity is affected by the wheat
yield the people are prosperous and not
In the least concerned about the "crop-
killing" scare. While business is still
disturbed In some section by the con-
tinuance of labor controversies. this
interruption is not important and is not
likely to extend to branches not already
affected. Although collections are a.
little backward In some sections gen.
eral returns this week are satisfactory
except in certain instances where local
conditions have developed unusual bar
riers II is noticeable however that To-
calties which a short time ago reported
deferred settlements are not complain
ing about present conditions and reflect
u gradual improvement. The fact that
present indebtedness represents dis
eliminating purchases of goods that for
the most part have been readily con-
verted into cash, shows that conditions
In general are propitious for quick set
Elements, The presidential election is
still a modifying factor In some Sec
tions where trade development has
been held pending definite settle
ment of the issue involved. But 1t is
becoming recognized that the present
contest does not involve questions of
far reaching Importance to the busi-
ness community, and that aside from
the occasional Interruptions due to the
carrying on of hot campaign the out
look for September and October is
bright.

conveyance of the Diamond 10 Com

is really a victory for both sides.

His Being Crushed.
Special to Times-Republican.
Des Moines, June Sell Wyland,
aged II, beilboy at the Slavery house,
was instantly killed by a descending
weight, while he was peeping into the
elevator shaft from the roof. at IL o.
clock last night. With boyish enthu-
.eiasm for adventure, Wyland. during
an interim between calls, crept out
upon the dark roof of a three-story
portion OF the hotel. and gazed about
him for the lights of the city. He was
penned in by the unscalable walls of
the taller portions OF the structure
There was one aperture thru which a
glimmer of light shot out upon the
section of the roof upon which the
young man stood.
Curious to the last degree young
Wyland ran across the low roof to
the window thru which he could peer
into the elevator shaft. The lad was
fascinated by the onward march Of the
car as 1t pulled up story after story
with Its load OF human freight. He
thrust his head into the window and
watched each motion of the car as
1t approached. So intent was he that
he did not remember that as the car
ascends a huge weight descends. Be-
fore he was aware of impending dang
er, the weight of many hundreds of
pounds crashed against him. and his
lifeless body was pulled thru the Win
dow and dumped down the shaft. The
remains crashed into the elevator
which had been stopped in its upward
tour by the accident.
