a Rival to Chicago Organization Is
Launched in Kansas City.

Kansas City, No, June 26-"The Ma
tional Board of Trade Incorporated at
Jefferson City on June 10, began busi-
ness here today. The organization,
which grows out of the recent supreme
court decision sustaining the Chicago
Board Of Trades claim to a property
right IN its grain quotations, which de-
priVed numerous future dealers of quo
tations, claims to have members from
Denver to New York, and from New
Orleans to Minneapolis. Ultimately, the
management says, they will cover quo
tations to the Pacific coast. The new
board will use Kansas City quotations
and prices, Kansas City being, its Off
GERS say. the largest primary grain mar
ket in the world The board will base
its quotations on actual cash grain
transactions.
c. c. Christie, of the Christie Grain
and Commission company, who was one
of the most prominent local dealers af-
fected by the supreme court decision, is
president of the new board. Several

EARLY IN AUGUST
Time Is Fixed approximately
for Peace Negotiations.
President Roosevelt Probably
Will Announce Exact Date.
THREE ON EACH SIDE.
Number of NegOtiators Is Prac-
tieally Agreed Upon.
Japan Is Not Ready to Consider
an Armistiee Yet.

st. Petersburg, June 2s-Both japan
and Russia are now understood to have
agreed on the time when their pleni-
potentiarfes shall meet In Washington.
It will be during the first ten days of
August but the exact date probably will
be announced by President Roosevelt.
The question of precedence evidently is
the main stumbling block to a prompt
settlement of the number of personal
negotiators. Both sides seem desirous to
make the other take the initiative. Rus
sia seems to consider that it is Japan S
duty to name her plenipotentiaries be-
fore Russia announces hers. While the
exact number of plenipotentiaries has
not been officially arranged both powers
seem to have tacitly agreed on three.
The actual announcement of the names
of the pIenipotentiaries is expected
within a few days.
The official statement of the situation
is:
~"All is going on favorably."
The question of possible armistice
as stated last week remains in abey-
ance for the moment, Japan, it is under
stood, declining even to take up the
matter until the issues involved in the
Washington meeting are definitely set
tied In the meantime there have been
heavy downpours in Manchuria and the
rainy season may enforce a suspension
Of military operations before diplomacy

dent has expressed a wish to the Jap
anese and Russian governments thai

ed States on the first of August and
if not on that day, the earliest day
thereafter. The statement regarding
the meeting of the pIenipotentiaries
was made public at the White House
today:

place. This information comes from
high source but it is understood tina
no formal announcement can be madi

when theDanish cadet training schoon-
er George-Stag was rammed and sunk

named Skiff who lives on the Wheeler
farm near Lockport New York, has
bitten on the fake story which annually
appears with reference to the scarcity
of harvest hands to harvest the wheat
crop. namely the free ticket story.
Skiff out of the innocence of his heart
wrote to Mayor ". H. Davis this morn
ing in the following words: Il have
been informed that you send tickets to
men of ability to help in the Kansas
harvest fields. If so will you please
send me a ticket as soon as it is har-
vest time. My friend, Elmer L. Jones,
wishes to come also Please send the
two tickets to the same address.

CURzON TO QUIT.
He Doesn't Like the Interference Of
Kitchener in Indian Affairs.

Simla., India, June 26-It is freely
rumored that the viceroy. Lord Cur
zon, of Kedlestone, has either already
rendered his resignation or shortly
will do so in consequence of the home
government ruling whereby Lord
Kitchener, commander in chief of the
forces in India. has been given COM
plete control of the army in India.
Two special meetings of the Indian
council have been held since the publi-
cation in London of the blue book re-
ferring to Lord Kitchener's plans, the
approval of which is considered to be
a severe blow to Lord Curzon, since
he and practically the whole council
unanimously advised against the de-
cision ultimately adopted. The keen
est eXcitment prevails in official circles
here The Times of India declares
that India cannot afford to lose "either
of the great men, Lord Curzon, or
Lord Kitchener who dominate her af-
fairs -
May Not Let Him Go.
London, June 26.-WhiIe it is con-
sldered quite possible that Lord Cur
zon may tender his resignation because
OF the course taken by the home gov
ernment directly at variance with his
views, it is not believed that it will be
accepted or that the viceroy will insist
on quitting his position, at least until
after the prince and princess of Wales
have completed their tour of India,
extending from November to March.
A question asked in the house of
commons this afternoon elected from
Indian Secretary Brodrick the state
ment that the government had re-
ceiVed no information to the effect
that Curzon had any desire or inten-
ton of resigning the vice royalty of
India.

PLAN SOCIAL CLUB
FOR RAILROAD MEN
Canvass Is Made to Determine
Feeling of Fraternity on
the Project

A club for railroad men of ST. Pa:,I
is actively proposed by several of the
influential members of the railroad
fraternity of this city. A committee
was busy yesterday sounding various
representatives of the local roads with
the idea OF taking steps in the imme-
date future to found such an institu-
ton.
The arguments used by the commit
tee when il made the rounds yester-
day was that a St. Paul railroad man
Is at a disadvantage in entertaining
business acquaintances because there
is no place in the city for the exclusive
use of railroad men.
They say that when they visit other
cities they are entertained by their
railroad friends in a way that is i'm
possible in st. Paul. II IL was possi-
BILE for a city man to take a visitor to
a club where none but railroad men
were members, treat him to a good
cigar and other Entertainment within
the sacred precincts of the club. and
introduce him TO men in his own lire
of business without going out of the
place IL would be much pleasanter
than the methods generally in use.
The membership OF the organization
would be limited to 200, and at the
start the expenses OF the club would
be modest. but IL is proposed to have
the bylaws elastic so that natural
growth and popularity may be ac-
commodated.
1t is pointed out that for its size
st. Paul has more railroad men and
more railroads than any other town I'm
the country. and that unless the rail-
road men happen to be members of the
Commercial club or the Minnesota
club ii is impossible to adequately en-
terrain visiting railroad men.
Another matter that is urged in IA
vor of the club is that the various or
CARNATIONS now in existence among
traffic men of the roads have tended 10
improve the feeling among the officers
and toward an increase of good will
and fellowship. They argue that II
these purely business meetings nj
widely separated times have the effect
of bringing them into better relations
with one another, surely a club which
would be social in it's nature would ac-
centuate the good feeling.
Buffalo. Cleveland and Detroit have
such clubs, and I'm those cities the Milan
has worked out satisfactorily. The
st. Paul committee has sent on 10
Cleveland for a copy OF the charter
bylaws and all information as to the
formation Of the club there. II Is
thought that this will be here this
week, and afterwards a meeting win
be called for the purpose of making
the first move toward an organiza-
ton.
