The investigation Of an alleged
scandal in connection with the crop
reports of the Department Of Agri-
culture affords some ground for ex.
pecting a cabinet scandal of no
small proportion. 1t is too early
to judge of the results of the prob
ing to which the affairs of the De-
partment are being subjected but
Secretary Wilson has placed the
entire matter in the hands of the
Secret Service Bureau and it is gen
orally believed that the matter will
be probed to the bottom this time,
while the findings of the Secret
Service are pretty apt to become
public whether or not that was de.
sired when their real character is
revealed TO Secretary Wilson.

A Patriotic NorwerInn.

New York, June 24.-Captain Nelson, commander of the Norwegian ship Tjomo, has demonstrated his patriot ism and recorded his good ship as the first to clear this port with papers from which all reference to Sweden had been eliminated. The biggest Nor wegian flag Nelson could find was fly ing from the masthead when the Tjomo passed down the bay.
 Captain Nelson reached port Mon day last and showed his patriotism by ignoring the Swedish consulate until the custom house officials made him go there and enter his ship. Then he went through the formality of presenting his papers to the Consul and allowing the ship to pass under the consuFs control.
 The captain decided to make another effort at recognition when he visited the consulate to get his papers back and obtain his clearance papers. He sought Vice-Consul Hansen, and the latter filed out the papers but the cap tain before signing carefully erased the word Sweden" and the Consul. himself a Norwegian, did not argue the ques- ton. He allowed the erasures to stand, signed the papers as many times as was necessary and then shook hands with the skipper.

WALL STREET REVIEW
LULU SHOWS UP IN ACTIVITY oI
 OPERATIONS.
Two Hours Session of Exchange Rather Quiet in Contrast With Previous Proceedings = Disposition to
 Reduce Commifmenta.

New York, June 24.--There was a Hull today in the, activity of the operations for an advance in prices of stocks which have been carried on through the week, and the was rather quiet.
 A disposition was shown to reduce com mitments in the market in view of the Sun day interval and the possibility of unex- or business. The clouds on the European political horizon accentuated this tendency. A further sharp break in French rentes and the further running off of the sterling ness of the anxiety over the relations be- tween France and Germany British consols were affected in less degree. Roth of these government scuritis rallied before Paris. but there was free selling here for foreign account and the possibility of m favorable, developments before Monday was canvassed.

Yale's Argument.

New Haven, Conn.,, June 24.-The Yale baseball management today made telephonic proposition to the Harvard baseball management suggesting the game to be played here on Tuesday be the final one of the series. The agree ment of the Yale-Harvard baseball series calls for a third game on neutral grounds, in case of a tfc. Yale's argu- ment Is that no tie exists if Yale wins next Tuesray because she will have won one of the two games originally arr ranged for. and Harvard has won none.
 The dispahch from Cambridge last Thursday night after the game on the Soldiers Field, saying. captains and coaches of both teams had decided to call the game played that afternoon no game because 1t was a tie, was incor- rect. Harvard made the proposition to declare the game null and void, but Yale would nos agree. IL IS under stood that Harvard wishes to have the second game played at Cambridge Sat urday, July l. and the third game, in case of a tie, in New York, the date to be arranged later.

The Athletic Union.

Indianapolis, July 24.-Notwith- standing the two days of hard work ID marching and field contests there has not been a serious case of illness among the 2,S54 athletes assembled on the fair ground from the North Ameri- can Gymnastic Union festival. Not a serious accident has occurred. The program for this. the closing day, in- cluded the spectacular mass features and the crowd of visitors in the city increased to an estimated 25.000 people
 The work began at o'clock with group work in field sports and athletic events.
 Following this work came mass ex- erclses by the seniors, young women and active Turner classes.
 The program will conclude late today with a massing of the 2,S00 athletes in wand. dumb-bell and other exercises under the direction of Hugo Fisher the festival director. There will also be mass drill of all the young women in bar bell exercises and club swing ing. Exhibitions will also be given by the team from Germany.
 The festival is following the rule of other years by not awarding money prizes to winners. The prizes consist of laurel wreaths, carrying out an idea of the Greek gymnasts of old, and di- plomas are awarded to Turnvereins.

sweflen,n PonitIon .


 Stockholm. Sweden, June 24.--The uncompromIsing element in the Riks- dag is actively prosecuting a campaign for presenting to Norway demands representing Sweden's minimum and obtaining guarantees from Norway be- fore passing the bill comforting on the government powers to negotiate terms for the formal separation of Norway and Sweden
 This faction considers that the gov ernment ought to be authorized to contract an emergency loan of S25,00O. 900 and mobilize troops to support Sweden's demand. The government. however. has still the strong united backing of the moderate party which is prepared to entrust the king and the ministry with the public demand for untrammeled negotiations in re- gard to the necessary guarantees to be given before agreeing to a dissolu- ton of the union.

senor Cortex,n Infection.

Washington, June 24.-Senor Enrique Cortez. confidential agent of the Re- public of Colombia. had an audience with Secretary Taft today and discuss ed in a general way the relations of his country and the Republic of Panama. Although nothing definite was proposed relative to the assumption by Panama of 8 part of the foreign debt of Co., lombia, it is said that a proposition may be made later. Secretary Taft has arranged another meeting on his re- turn from New England with Senor Cortez and Senor Mendoza, the recently appointed Colombian Minister to the United States. It has been stated that Colombia's debt amounts to $32, ,00O. 900 and that the amount it desires Panama to assume aggregates $3,000, 900.
 Senor Cortez asked to be excused from discussing the details of his mis- sion at this juncture.
