work of the canal up to April next will
have. II is asserted. an important bear
ing upon the annexing Of the sum cut
off by the House.
An intimation OF the important work
thai is in store for this Congress TO
handle has already manifested itself.
Railway rate. insurance. election con-
tributions, and Panama canal legislatio
have all made themselves felt. The
straight-out-frOn1-t -the-shoulder enthUsi-
esm exhibited 10y this Congress in get
ting right down TO work has been fully
commented upon. 1t is taken as proof
conclusive that there will be important
laws enacted and that the Senate in
tends to part from it's old-established
customs of slow. deliberate action.
Railway rates are unquestiOnably pre-
eminent in the minds of the Senators,
Democrats and Republicans alike State
hood for Oklahoma and Indian Terri
tories and New Mexico and Arizona is
probably the second of Importance
These two questions. il is predicted. will
drag along for at least two mcnths.
If tariff. ship subsidy or other minor
questions come up for a hearing at all
in the Senate they VIII not be on the
docket until April or May
Senate on Rates.
An idea of what the Senate will do
in the way of passing a rate bill was
had from last Mondays session Sem
atOr Newlands of Nevada introduced a
resolution requesting that outside aid
be solicited in forming a rate bill. Sem
ators Spooner of Wisconsin and Teller
of Colorado both objected to the adop-
tion OF such resolution. Senator Spoon
er saying that he did not approve go
ing outside OF the Senate for brains
to draft the bill. This is thought to
mean that the rate bill that will go
through will simply incorporate in a
| modified form the views that have al
ready been expressed by the Committee
on Interstate Commerce.

boat Bennington at San Diego, Cal,
on July II. The findings were a com
plete surprise, for they at once set at
rest the stories that had been circu-
lated TO the effect that the Benning-
toms boilers and perhaps those OF
other naval vessels OF the same age
were defective. AS matter OF fact,
the court found the explosion resulted
from closing valve which connected
the exploded boiler with its steam
gauge so that the pressure on the
boiler may have been several hundred
pounds to the square inch when the
accident occurred. While praise was

Portsmouth, N. H.-The chances o.

ton in stepping into the breach in a
last endeavor to induce the warning
countries TO compromise their TIRE

is still in suspense.
The ultimate decision of the confer.

including Japan's ally, Great Britain,
whose minister, Sir Claude MacDon-
aid, according to a dispatch received
here, had long conference Sunday
afternoon with Mr.. Katsura, the Jap.

CUBANS KILL RICE BILL.
Measure Had Been the Subject OF
Much Discussion.

Havana.-The senate on Friday
afternoon administered the death blow
been the subject of more discussion
and more diplomatic representations
than any other yet before the Cuban
congress.
President Palma recently refused
the request of the American minister
Mr.. Squiers, to use his Office in behalf
of the bill, and it is understood that
he advised the senate to put off the
consideration of the bill until after
the election.
Cubans do not believe that the re-
lection of the bill will in any way af.

TRAIN RUNS INTO OPEN DRAW.
Plunges Into Abyss With Human
Freight, Thirty Being Killed.

Norfolk, Va.-Between twenty and
thirty negroes, occupying the first
car on an Atlantic Coast Line excur-
sion train for Kingston, N. c., to this
city, were killed or injured six miles
from this city, shortly after noon
Thursday. The train, consisting of the
engine and six coaches, plunged
through an open draw of the bridge
at Bruce station, the engine and one
coach being completely submerged in
about twelve feet of water and the
second coach partly submerged.
II is difficult at this time to estimate
the number of the dead. 1t is believed
that every person in the first car per-
ished, none having yet been accounted
for.
With the exception of the train
crew and the promoters of the excur-
sion all aboard were colored.
The engineer. fireman and con-
ductor escaped.
The specific orders Of the road to
stop all trains at the bridge whether
the draw is open or not, was appar.
emily ignored. The train plunged into
the abyss. Both engineer and fireman
discovered the open draw too late to
stop. The air brakes were applied,
but did not work properly.

BANNER WHEAT CROP
IS THE PREDICTION
mlnnecota Only Northern STATE That
Falls Below Production of 1904
Washington Will Have
Banner Year.

Notwithstanding favorable re
ports indicate that the northern tic
OF seven states, stretching from thu
head waters of the Mississippi rivel
on the east to Puget Sound on the
west, will produce not less than ZIG,
100000 bushels of wheat this year
These states are an immense granary
Their wheat crop has more than
doubled in the last few years and the
harvest in these seven states alone is
annually from 35 to 40 per cent OF
the aggregate for the whole country.
In 1904 Minnesota, the two Dakotas.
Montana, Idaho, Washington and Ore
gon had combined spring and win,
ter wheat crop of 209, 413,4S bushels,
or nearly 3S per cent of the total crop
in the United States. This year the
harvest will probably be about 1000.
600 bushels larger.
Rust has affected the crop rather
seriously in Minnesota, and the con,
dition of the growing crop, as reported
to the Agricultural department this
month. is six points below the record
Of last August On the other hand
the estimated acreage in Minnesota is
one-fiftieth larger than in 1904, and
the present outlook is for a crop
little more than 5000, 900 bushels short
of last years harvest. In every other
state in the list of seven the condi-
lions are more favorable than at this
timY'n 1904, and there is good promise
of an increased production.
The most favorable conditions are
in the state of Washington, increased |
areage and the condition of the grow.
Ing crop being considered. The ac-
reage conditions are as follows: Min.
nesota, 2 per cent larger than last
year; North Dakota, 9 per cent larger;
South Dakota, per cent smaller;
Montana 10 per cent larger; Idaho,
per cent larger, Washington, per cent
larger; Oregon, per cent larger. In
the case of Minnesota the increased
acreage is probably more than Offset
Dy the decrease in condition of the
crop, as compared with August of last
year. In the six other states the con.
lition is invariably improved.
A conservative estimate OF the win,
er wheat crop this year in Idaho,
and Oregon, gives Idaho
,537,022 bushels; Washington. 10,143-
so bushels, and Oregon, 7,979,033
ushels. 1t would not be surprising,
owever if the crop should be larger {
han this estimate, especially in Idaho 9
nd Washington.
Spring wheat conditions in Utah are
little less favorable. but the indica'
ions are that this years crop will ex. Il
eed 100000 bushels. The acreage
supposed to be about 1 per cent less
IAN that of 1904. and the August aver
ge condition is per cent below the
ormal. An estimate based on incom- S
lete data gives total crop for this {
ear of 4,650,970 bushels.
