Proposed Peace Congress.

ST. LOUIS. Mo, August 23.-The Republic
today says: One of the proposals that will
be made by the American group before the
inter- parliamentary conference, which will
be held in The Hall of Congresses at the
worlds fair next month, is that the Presi-
dent of the United States be authorized to
call a general peace conference some time
next year. 1t is not the intention of the
American group to have this conference
along the lines of that at The Hague. They
wish to establish system of arbitration
among the countries of the world which will
bring about reduction of the ornaments
of the powers.
Another proposition, that during times of
war private property on the high seas
which is not contraband be declared ex-
empt from seizure, will be made at the st.

MONTREAL, August 23-A Canadian
Pacific official estimates the wheat yield
for western Canada at 5000, 600 bushels.
Three and half million acres will be har-

from thirty-nine report no damage at all;
sixteen report only slight damage and fif-
teen report damage from Is to 80 per cent.
TIE estimate of 65, 100000 bushels is the

intention to represent the English bar at
the International conference of jurists at
ST. Louis Sir Robert says it is inexpedient
that he should be absent from his post at

that the questions of contraband of war,

are negotiating, as well as the use by bel
ligerents of neutral ports, require the unin-

Bankers Ask Bond Sale Be Set Aside

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, August pm. w.
Harris & Co., bankers of New York, today
filed in the United States circuit court of
this city a bill in equity asking that the
issue of $545, 600 bonds of the city of Read
ing, Pa, bought by them, be adjudged IL
legal and void on the ground that the cleo
ton which authorized the bond issue was
unconstitutional. 1t is also averred that
the bonds were bid for because of the i'm
preston that they would be free of taxa
ton, whereas the printed bonds contain a
taxation proviso. The bill also asks that
S27, $50 paid on account be returned with
interest, to the bankers, and that the city
of Reading be restrained from proceeding
further in bill of equity instituted in the
Reading courts.

of the seating of Mr.. Ryan as chairman of

shares of Seaboard Air Line stock held by
Messrs. Williams and Middendorf
Mr.. Ryan said: The Seaboard Air Line

that the Atlantic Coast Line or the South

THE REPUBLICAN TARIFF

The Republican platform OF pro-
lection, adopted at Chicago yester-
day, should be an object lesson for
every Hawaiian. 1t means that the
Republican party has sold itself oct
to the manufacturers Of tho main
land. la Hawaii tho thing works
itself out this way: Every article
imported for our own use tbs con-
sumner must pay almost double for.
Steel rails are sold 10 England and
Austrslis, delivered, for less than q
Hawaiian would have to pay for
them at the factories in Pennsyl-
vanis Tin plate is sold in Honolulu
today for twice what 1t brings in
Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia.
These are but two instances show
ing how the consumer of the Ha-
waiisn Islands has to pay for the
protective policy OF the Republican
party. There are q full thousand
others. How long will the native
Hswaiiaps stand for it without'a
protest at the pollsi Aud that pro-
test should come in tho way of 9
