Washington, May 1.-THE controvers,
In Germany over government control of

Richard Guenther at Frankfort in a let

says:
The annual report Of the chamber of

center Of the German iron and steel in
dustries, J\rupp Steel works, ETC., for the
year 1904, has been sent to the Prussian
minister of The report dis,
cusses at length the contemplated move

trolllng influence over the coal trade by
acquiring coal mines now in the hands of
private individuals and joint stock COM
panies. The object is to check the power
or the coal trust and to prevent monopo-
listic abuses whereby the consumers and
the industrial interests may be injured!
and the miners subjected to rigid rules
and low wages.

%CHANDLER'S JOKE.
New Hampshire Man Gathers in Vic,
President Fairbanks, but Fails
with Shaw.

Washington, May 2.-Ex-Scnator Will
lam e. Chandler, president of the Spanish
claims treaty commission, has a vein of
quiet humor which sometimes proves en-
barrassing to statesmen with presidential
aspirations. His work ON the commission
doesn't involve much labor, and yester-
day while swinging about his office chair
he suddenly conceived the notion of draw
ing out the views of Vice President Fair
banks, Secretary of the Treasury Shaw,
and Senator Foraker in connection with
the presidency. He prepared an IDENTICAL
letter to each, about as follows:
My Dear Mr.. Secretary Shaw: In my
opinion you ought to be the next presi-
dent of the United States. Your eminent
fitness for the office. your high patriotism
ana devotion to the principles of the party,
and your popularity with the people all
tend to make you the logical candidate of
the party of which you are a most dis
tinguished leader today.

vice President Fairbanks and Senator
Foraker.

ana Senator Foraker of his support of the

thanked Mr.. Chandler for his commanda-

pressed his qualification at the notification
given his rivals.
Secretary Shaw answered Mr.. Chandler
IN the vein observed by his correspondent.

RAIN WAS
Agricultural Conditions in South pa
kota Are Excellent.

Sioux Falls, S. D., May 2.-Recent
rains throughout the agricultural por-
ton of South Dakota have proved very
beneficial, and came just at the right
time following the completion of the
work of seeding. While the spring has
been cold and backward the weather
throughout the seeding season was ia
vorable for the carrying on Of this
work, and farmers made good progress.
The cool weather since seeding was
completed has given the grain good
root, n with the rains and the com
ing of warmer weather small grain and
other crops which already are in the
ground will make rapid growth. While
the growth of small grain is behind,
as compared with some former years,
the excellent root and the recent rains
will push it ahead very rapidly when
Warm weather zones and by June L
the growth should be as great as is
customary at that period OF. the grow
ing season. Crop prospects in South
Dakota were never brighter at this
time of year than this spring.

Washington, May 3.-There is a re

the most venerable member of the cab
inet, is to be married, perhaps before
the beginning of the summer, although
no definite announcement has been
made. The lady is said to be one of

The Graves Wedding.
In diplomatic circles here there is
a good deal of interest in the recent
marriage of Colonel c. II. Graves of
and Sweden, growing out of the fact,
that his wife, fromerly Mrs. Wright
is a divorce. 1t is pointed out here
tina the aged King Oscar is more OUT:
spoken than any European sovereign
against divorces and has more than
once caused the ostracism of a%spirants
for honors in the Qua kingdom on ac-,
count of divorce troubles. People will
watch to see how he receives Colonel
Graves and his new wife, and what
the latter will be able to do to over,
come the intense prejudice of the king
and court.
