ST. PETERSBURG-The Associated

ment that M. Witt, president Of the

urged on the emperor for head Of the
peace commission. Even Foreign Min
lister Lamsdorf is said to have Joined
in recommending his election The
emperor, however, fatty declined to
appoint him, and after M. Nelidoff,
ambassador at Paris, pleaded Illness,
his majesty personally chose M. Muir

NEBRASKA GRAIN DEALERS
TRY SQUEEZING PROCESS

OMAHA-Before Notary Charles
G. Bearsall, Thomas H. Worrall, presi-
dent of the Worrall Grain company,
told Of the efforts of the Nebraska
Grain Dealers association to squeeze
his company out OF the grain business
in Nebraska. Mr.. Worralls testimony
Is taken at the request Of the oppos-
ing counsel in his suit for S12S,000
damages.
The witness insisted on all the
questions put to him being written
out in plain sight on typewriter be-
fore he would answer them.
An interesting portion of the testi-
mony concerned the possession by
the secretary Of the Nebraska grain
dealers association of full informa-
tion about car Of grain loaded by a
farmer and consigned to the Worrall
company before the car was anywhere
near Omaha. The secretary came to
Worrall and tried to induce him not
to handle the particular car Of grain.
The plaintiffs counsel will try to
show that the information was trans
mitted by railroad company, thus
showing collision with the so-called
grain trust.

UNION PACIFIC EXTENSIONS

elf roads will build a number of short
lines from points where they seem
feasible and paying. We are engaged

Der Of proposed extensions in the west

few as yet"
The Union Pacific may use the
Burlington stub from Hastings tc
Koarney, Neb., in connection with the
new line from Kansas City which Is
being built. However, that point is
not settled and the Union Pacific may
use the tracks Of the st Joseph &

instead OF using the Burlington tc

AS TO THE CROPS
CORN EXPERIENCES A VERY
FAVORABLE WEEK.
WEATHER IS A LITTLE COOL
Except in Upper Missouri Valley
Growth Has Been satisfactory
Spring Wheat Promising Except In
Overflow Districts.

WASHINGTON-Th weather bur-
eaus weekly bulletin summarizes crop
conditions as follows:
In the districts cast OF the Rocky
mountains temperature conditions
were favorable though cool in the MIS-
souri, valley. over much the greater
part of the country from the south At
lantic gulf coasts northward to the
lake regions Minnesota and the Da-
kots. excessive rainfall greatly hind
cred the cultivation Of crops. caused
rapid growth of weeds and In places
injured hay and harvested grain.
There was practically no rain In New
England, only light showers on the
immediate middle Atlantic coast and
none in the Rocky mountain and Pa
cihc coast regions. In central and
northern California and portions OF
Oregon and Washington intense heat
prevailed during the latter part of the
week.
The corn crop has experienced a
week of very favorable conditions for
growth except in the upper Missouri
valley, where its progress has been
rather slow on account Of insufficient
heat and lack of sunshine. While rains
have interfered with cultivation to
some extent the crop as a whole Is
in a fairly good state OF cultivation
and Is largely laid by except in the
more northerly districts. Winter wheat
harvest continues in the northerly dis
tricts and is largely finished else
where. Rainy weather has extensively
interfered with threshing and has
caused damage to grain in shock in
portions of the middle Atlantic states
and central valleys. The abnormal
heat on the north Pacific coast during
the latter part of the week probably
caused damage to the wheat crop in
Washington.
In portions of South Dakota and
Minnesota spring wheat on lowlands
has suffered from overflows, but else
where in the spring wheat region the
crop is in promising condition Rust
continues in South Dakota and Mime
sofa, though not materially increas.
ing, and Is beginning to appear In
North Dakota. Spring wheat con
tinues promising on the north Pacific
coast, although exposed to trying heat
conditions during the latter part OF
the week.
Both standing and harvested oats
have suffered considerably from wet
weather, which has caused lodging
hindered harvesting and injured oats
in stack or shock. A fine crop. how
ever, is generally indicated.

Merit Rule In the Army.

OYSTER BAY, N. Y.-An important
order was issued by President Roose-
welt announcing the policy hereafter
to be followed by the administration in
making of appointments or promitions
in the military branch of the govern
ment. The president orders that IL any
officer of the army or navy shall solicit
influences aside from the records Of
his service on file in the war or navy
departments, in order to obtain pro-
motion or assignment he shall be de-
barred thereby from the advancement
which he is seeking.

ONE MAN RESIGNS
MURAvIFFE STEPS OUT AS
PEACE PLENlPoTENTlARY.
WITTE is TO SUCCEED HIM
M. Muravieff Tenders His Resignation
Because His Experience In Diplo-
matte Matters Does Not Qualify
Him for Post.

ST. PETERSBURG-M. Muravieff
has resigned his position as chief
peace plenipotentiary.
1t may be regarded as practically
certain that he will be replaced by M.
Witte, president of the committee Of
ministers, who all along has been con.
sidered the Russian statesman pre-
eminently qualified to undertake the
difficult task of negotiating peace with
Japan.
Though the emperor on two pre-
vious occasions has fatty declined to
accept M. WHITE, he has now indicated
his readiness to make the appoint
ment. The commission, however, will
not be actually signed until Foreign
Minister Lamsdorff, who throughout
the war has been NJ Whites warm
supporter, has had an audience Of the
emperor. To that extent only the mat
ter may be regarded as unsettled,
nothing being certain in Russia, as a
prominent diplomat remarked recent.
ly, until the emperor's signature has
been affixed. M. Whites selection I'M
doubtedly viii be hailed as a prac-
teal assurance of peace. While 1t,
| would be mistake to denominate
him as a peace at any price" man, M.
White earnestly believes that the
struggle should be ended and should
| be succeeded by an understanding be-
| tween Russia and Japan which would
| insure peace in the far east for half
| a century. Indeed, he Is personally be-
| lieved to be in favor of Russo-Jap-
anese alliance.
The conduct Of negotiations by NJ
Wittee, it is felt by the peace parties
| here, would inspire instant confidence
in Japan.
The only handicap under which M.
| Wittee labors is his lack of familiar
ity with the English language, as the
only foreign languages he speaks are
German and French.
M. Muravieff's retirement. osten-
sibly owing to reasons of ill health,
Is in reality due to the fact that the
emperor became convinced that the
negotiations might be jeopardized If
he went to Washington. M. Muravieff
himself, upon consideration, frankly
recognized his lack Of diplomatic
training and his want of acquaintance
with the questions involved and with
equal frankness expressed satisfaction
that he had been relieved.
Neither Washington nor the Toxic
governments has yet been officially
advised of NJ Murayieffs withdrawal,
the foreign Office probably preferring
to announce the name Of his success
sor at the same time. The change in
the chief of the plenipotentiaries does
not involve any postponement of the
date Of the sailing Of the peace CON-
mission for Washington.

THE COMING PEACE MEETING.
Portsmouth, N. H., Definitely Decided

Portsmouth in the new building just
completed there.
Third Assistant Secretary of State
Pierce has been specially commits
stoned by the president to make all

WHAT HE SAYS OF LOAN MADE
BY EQUITABLE.
he DID NOT ADVOCATE IT
Never Could Have Been Made II Off
ciaI Appraisers Had Reported Prop.

roWed.

New York.---Senator Chauncey M.
Depew has made statement to the
Paris correspondent of the New York
Tribune regarding the loan of $780,
900 made by tho Equitable society to
the Depew Land Improvement COM
pany on property alleged to have been
worth only $4,000, in which he says
TINT he never had advocated or recon.
mended any such transactions, be.
cause he was director Of the Equit-
able.
Senator Depew further says:
"That loan never could have been
made unless the official appraisers of
the Equitable had reported after ex-
animation that $250,000 was only GO
per cent OF the property's value, such
being the rule of the society, and that
on such report the officers of the
company had unanimously approved
1t.
1.-THE Depew Land Improvement
company was organized and in opera
ton some five years before 1t was in
duced to become a stakeholder 1t
then had about 5000 inhabitants, and
many thriving industries, including
the New York Central shops, and con-
| nection with several trunk lines. The
company appointed general manager
| who built houses, hotel, opened
| streets, extended the water and sewer
systems and incurred great liabilities
in improvements. A few of the
| larger stockholders formed plan to
pay off all liabilities and provide
working capacity, but the stockhold-
ers were so numerous, q large num-
Der living abroad that cooperation
| could not be secured, and went into
the hand OF receiver five years after
the Equitable loan. Appraisals of the
property has been made by the OFF,
GERS and Independent persons, the low
est valuation being 100000 over and
above all liabilities. If the Equitable
and other creditors join and take the
property out of the hand of the re-
ceiver, and put on u going basis, there
Is no possibility Of loss. On the con
trary in the judgment Of those best
acquainted with the property there is
a certainty Of profit.
"a few days before sailed from
New York placed my resignation
as counsel in the hands of Chairman
Morton, and l am very glad that he
accepted it. had passed my list
birthday, and had made up my mind
before reached 70 to secure some
thing of that rest and freedom from
incessant work that has been denied
me year after year."
