IS TO Be RENEWED

Seattle, Aug. 14.-With the confir.
nation of the sale of the Bellingham
Bay and British Colum bia railroad to
the Canadian Pacific, a prominent
Great Northern official, who refuses
to be quoted, says the seven years war
between the Great Northern and the
Canadian line will be renewed and the
Northwest will see the fiercest struggle
in its history. President James j.
Hill will be in Seattle in two weeks
and from here will make trip to Brit.
ish Columb ia for the purpose Of look.
ing over the field and determining the
weapon he will use to bring for Sec
ond time the Canadian Pacific into
line.
With the purchase of the Bellingham
Bay road the Canadian Pacific acquires
survey of the line from Maple Falls
to Spokane, completed year ago. II
is generally understood to be the inten.
ton to use this survey in the construc.
ton Of an extension, and probably the
line from Bellingham will be extended
south to some point on the Sound, gen.
orally conceded to be either Seattle OF
Tacoma. This would give the Cana.
dian Pacific road between the Great
Northern's Hope mountain line in Can.
ada and its line in Washington, tap
ping rich agricultural section from
which the latter derives large amount
Of traffic. >
The fight which was settled a little
over a year ago by Lord Strathcona, q
heavy stockholder in both lines, it il
said, will mean, aside from the Cana.
dian Pacific plans, several important
extensions Of the Great Northern in
British Columbia.

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 15.-It
seems to be taken for granted among
the attaches of both the Japanese and
Russian missions that there will be
no general battle in Msnchuria while
the peace negotiations are on. Oyama
is preparing to strike the moment the
negotiations fail, and there may be
more or less outpost engagements while
the troops are getting in position, but
it is admitted on each side that if
either Oyama or Linevitch should de-
liberately bring on general engage.
ment which might cost SOC or 1OO,.
600 lives his country would be accused
of bad faith and would inevitably lose
prestige in the eyes of the world. In
the larger sense, therefore, it can be
said that an armistice already exists in
Manchuria. Should the negotiations
be vainly prolonged and it became evil
dent that they were fruitless, the ad.
vance of Oyama or Linevitch might be
the signal for the final rupture. The
unexpected attack on Port Arthur
might be repeated below Hardin.

WORLDS GRAIN CROP.
Harvest on the Whole Will Not Be
Bad One.

O0O OUSs
Washington, Aug. 15.-The foreign
crop reports received by the agricul'
tural department and made public yes
terdsy, announce that in the "coun
tries of largest production the princi
pal bread grain crops cannot be called
abundant, but on general survey OF
the field it seems probable that the
harvest of 1905 will not on the whole
be a bad one.
In Great Britain and Ireland the
area under wheat is estimated at l, 800,
900 acres, and the yield at 5000, OO(
bushels, or 35 bushels to the acre
against an area last year of 1,4OO, OO(
acres and yield of 80, 900, 900 bushels
or less than 20 bushels per acre.
The area under wheat in Manitoba
and the North west territories is fully
10 pei cent larger than ever before
The acreage there is placed at 4,00O,'
900. and the crop at 10000, 900 or 3d.
900, 900 bushels, by some as high AZ
100, 900, 900. In Argentina there is g
good crop outlook, and the area OF
winter grain appears to be much larg
or than last year.
In Australia the outlook is more
promising than in ten years.
Despite unfavorable weather reports
the outlook in Germany last month
seemed fair.
In Russia the crop prospects re-
manned generally satisfactory. The
winter cereal promised nearly, and the
spring grains an average yield. In
Russia it is not certain whether winter
wheat or winter rye can be set down
as average crops.
In Hungary the prospect was consid'
erably worse than in June, but the to.
tai grain crop is stated to be larger
than last year.

PROSPECTS FOR PEACE
have Frightened

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 14.-There
is a rift in the clouds, and the prog
poets of successful issue of the
Washington Conference" have bright
ened somewhat, as result of the de-
velopments of the past two days. The
discussion Of the terms submitted by
Japan has actually begun, but this has
been accomplished by postponing the
consideration Of two main issues, in
demnity and the cession Of Sakhalin.
So far as ascertainsble the Japs were
responsible for the tactics by which
this hopeful stage was entered upon.
As the mantle Of secrecy has been
thrown around the proceedings by mu-
tusl pledges not to reveal what happens
within the council cham Der, there are
missing links in the chain Of evidence,
and it is impossible to judge whether
this signifies backdown on either side
on the main points.
On the face Of things both sides are
as incorporating as ever upon the
two issues, the struggle over them be-
ing merely postponed. Some sort OF
private understanding arrived at by
Baron Komura and M. Witte during
the recess at the navy yard is limited
at, but there is not the slightest con
firmation obtainable. Nevertheless,
the Japanese who are attached to the
japanese mission plainly manifest ella
ton, and some Of them privately assert
that M. Witte would never have con-
sented to tho discussion Of the terms
had he not been prepared to yield on
the question Of Sakhalin.
