Washington, Dec 7.-Senator Latimer
is hopeful of securing consideration of
his good roads bill in the Senate dur
ing the present session. The bill was
to-day favorably reported to the SEN
ate Committee on Agriculture and For
estry. Senator Latimer wrote the re-
port and it is signed by a majority of
the committee.
The bill provides for an appropria-
ton for road Improvement and con-
struction of $4,000, 00O to be available
in three annual instruments of $S00O,-
000 The states are to do the work
of construction and Improvement and
pay one-half of the cost, the other half
to come out of this appropriation. ac-
cording to the population of the states.
South Carolina, under the provisions
of the bill, would receive about $4,-
100000
The report contains a full discus
sion of the constitutional power of
Congress to make appropriations for
road purposes under the general well
fare clause, and cites numerous au-
thorities and presidents in support Of
that position. 1t also deals with the
duty of the national government to
aid in road building on account OF the
use of the roads for mail and other
purposes, and the inability of the peo-
pie or the states to do the work I'M
aided.
The report concludes with a strong
appeal for actional aid. both on
grounds of policy and duty.
II is believed that the report will
give renewed impetus to the good roads
movement and increase materially the
chances for securing legislation. Sem
ator Latimer has accepted an invita-
ton to address a good roads" meet
ing to be held at Fairfax Court House,
Va, next week.

KuropatkIn is Retreatlno.

St. Petersburg, August 1OAs s.is the chance of a decisive battle between Gen- eral Kuropatln and the commander of the Japanese armies seems to be disap- bearing. According to a statement issued by the general staff tonight, rains are again falling over wide area in Man churia, with the prospect of impeding op- erations, but even more important is the information reaching the Associated Press tonight, from an exceptional source that the Japanese have once more delayed too long,
 General Kuropatkin has now withdrawn the bulk of his army safely north of Liao Yang, leaving only a strong rear guard line southeast of Liao Yang to contest the advance when 1t comes.
 According to this information, the Ja- panese have about 3oo,OO0 men in the armies operating against General Kuro- patkin, rendering it too hazardous for him to risk a general engagement.
 The general staff has no information bearing on the reported presence of a large force of Japanese at Palthuhi. place that cannot be located on available maps. The report agrees, however, with the general tenor of information received by the Associated Press here given that General Kuropatkin is already retreat ing north of 1iao Yang.

POPULISTS SEEM
 TO OPPOSE PARKER
NEBRASKA CAMPAIGN IS OPENED BY ASSEMBLING OF CONvEN- TON IN WHICH ANTI-PARkER ELEMENT PREDoMINATED.

Lincoln. Neb., August 10.-Watson and Tibbles opened the populist campaign here this afternoon when the state con vention met to nominate candidates The Oliver theatre was filled and the anti Parker element predominated. Most of the delegates were in sympathy with fu- sion on the state issues but 1t was made evident that two electoral tickets would be put in the field against Roosevelt.
 MT Watson In his address before the convention scored both the old parties and ridiculed the republican national conven- tion as a cut and dried affair. Of the democratic convention he said:
 Ut made it's appeal to the deity through a megaphone and drafted it's platform by telegraph"
 Ills speech which occupied two and half hours, was an indirect appeal against fusion and he was frequently applauded. At it's conclusion. permanent organiza- tion was affected by the election of For mer Senator W, V. Allen as chairman. Committees were appointed and an ad- 1ournment taken till 8:30.
 On converting for the night session the populists voted to select Watson and Tibbes electors, regardless of any action taken by the democrats. The question of fusion on the state ticket was then taken up and provoked long and bitter debate.

 EDWARD TILDEN
SAYS HE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR REOPENlNG OF THE PACkERS' STRIKE IN CHicAGo-MAKES A STATEMENT.

Chicago. August 10-" Edward Tilden, want to say. is absolutely and alone re- sponsible for the e-opening of the strike"
 This assertion was made today by Mi- ehael Donnelly, president of the butchers organization. When he said it his teeth were clenched and there were tears in his eyes.
 When we signed the agreement to abrogate the strike" he continued, 1t was understood that it was to be q case of give and take. The packers said when they signed the agreement that they would probably want to retain a number of their new men. I told them 1t was all right that we had no objection. then told them I wanted them to let me know how many men they could take back when they reopened.
 Louis Swift turned to his associates and asked:
 Cant we open all departments and take back all our men?'
 Tt was then agreed that such would be the case. The packers told us they need ed us and wanted us. It was arranged AhaI cNNl9 iihn was lO BO DUCK auu ldhe his old check number so far as possible The agreement was not what I wanted. but l thought It would bring results fair to both sides and no honest man wants anything better. As soon as l had reach- ed the street, l met a crowd of newspaper men, and one of them showed me a statement written by Edward Tilden de- claring that the packers had gained all the advantage. The reporters asked me about 1t, l nodded my head, saying, Amen and hurried away If he had kept still all would have been well. The next day our men were ridiculed by the very men we had put our trust in. I know as positive fact and have the affdavits to prove 1t that superintendents for the packing houses had hundreds of non union men in line with the union men, when the thousands came back for work. The packers therefore broke their agree ment"

GOVERNMENT TRIES
 TO ACQUIRE CONTROL
BERLIN BoURsE SCENE OF oleAN- TIC STRUGGLE BETWEEN CAPT. TALIsTs FOR CONTROL OF H. HERNIA COAL COMPANY.

Berlin, August 10.-The struggle on the Berlin bourse over the Hibernia coal com pany Is the sensation of the day here. It is a new experience for Germany to see great banks engaged in a fight to get con- trol of an immense property, accompanied by the threats of one party to oust the old directors, and elect their own men.
 An interesting feature of the present contest is that the Prusslan government is the power behind the throne, its offer July 8 to acqulesce the Hibernia com pany's assets. having preclpitated an in- tense warfare between two groups of hanks for the companys share. The Dresdener bank and it's dependencies rep resent the governments interests. All the other great banks of the city under the leadership of the Pleich- Roders, and the Berllner Handelsgesellchaft unite resist ance to the governments offer,
 The Dresdener bank claims that 1t has 2o0O0.00O of total of 53,5o0,OoO shares. Brokers point out that the situation resembles the famous corner in Northern Pacific in New York. the contestants ig- noring the intrinsic value of the property, and merely fight for its control.
 Strong opposition against the govern ment getting the Hibernia has developed in the coal industry, which is marshaling It's forces to defeat the scheme
 Tho government claims to have been in- fiuenced largely by the consideration that the coal syndicate has grown to be such q monopoly that 1t is likely to become equal to the strongest American trusts, and that it IS necessary for the govern nent to have position in industry en- abling 1t to watch the movement, and participate in price making.
