New Orleans, Aug 1.-THE cam

Yesterday brought little in the way of

At the close or this address, Michael

Kansas City (Mo.) Dispatch to New

on Burlington train that came from
st. Louis had surprise early this
awakened suddenly by large man in
pajamas, who stepped out in front or
him and, pointing his finger, said
earnestly, I'm so sorry, but there's
no vacancy" A moment of silence
and again the man spoke, gesticulat-
ing this time. 81 tell you," he said,
there is on vacancy. I saw the
adjutant-general and he tells me the
man is not dead"
The train lurched and threw the
passenger violently against the side of
the berth across the aisle. "What
was I saying?" the passenger asked
when he had riglted himself and
opened his eyes. 81 beg pardon" he
added, "but have talked in my sleep
and walked in my sleep for years."

mum tariff is more in the way of re-
taliation but something must be done,
and it we cannot secure reciprocity,
shall favor the enactment of law by
congress providing maximum tariff
to be applicable to every nation that
discriminates against our products.
There are two remedies, reciprocity
or a maximum and minimum tariff,
and, as it appears now, the latter, if
either, is the method that will be
adopted"
Chairman Packard then announced

AS Political Issue.
Eugene N. F'oss of Boston spoke of
Reciprocity as a Political Issue. He
said in part:
Granted that the day of new
policies mas come, that the principle
of reciprocity at last is to be given
it's rigltful pace in our economic
system, we yet must recognize the
necessity of proceeding carefully, in
diligently and scientifically. 1t is
easy to propose but difficult to ex-
ecute; we must avail ourselves Of the
highest skill, the ripest knowledge and
the broadcast experience in modifying
old or framing new legislation.
Whether or not it shall appear that
the maximum and minimum tariff
system is advisable, as some of us are
inclined to believe, the country will
demand that the whole problem shall
be considered by impartial experts.
This duty rests primarily upon the
members of the national house of rep
representatives.. 1t is to them that we
should be able to look for relief. Ii,
however,, by reason Of improper con-
troll, sectional considerations, prejudice
or partisanship, there are not to be
found in that body men whom the peo-
pie can trust we must look to the ex-
ecutive to find them.
president Roosevelt has been test
ed and proved equal to the task of
such discovery. The character of the
commission to investigate and settle
the coal strike gives sufficient evil
dence of that. His influence in the
struggle for Cuban reciprocity COM
mitted him long ago to this cause;
had it not been for his resolute
advocacy with congress, we would not
ENJOY with Cuba the measure of rec
ipTocity that we enjoy today.
''In the working out of practical
schem of reciprocity, the country will
need the interest, the influence and the
cooperation of the farmer, the mer-
chant, the manufacturer, the financier,
the shipper the miner, the wage
Garner the professional or salaried
class, as we'll as the counsel of the
specialist, the colonial administrator,
the wise diplomat of the order of the
lamented John Hay. All these in
terests shouldd be effectively rep
resented in the committee or commits
sion to be charged with the duty of in
stituting an economic system which
shall be equitable, permanent and
flexible.
"Such a commission as this would
command public confidence and the
support of all parties. Congress would
hesitate to ignore the findings of such
body, supported by the intelligent in
terests and approval of the country.
There might be disagreements and

Except for delayed harvest of oats
on account of wet weather, and some
loss on that account, the crops of the
state are satisfactory, according to the
monthly state crop report issued yes
terday by Secretary John M. True of
the state board OF agriculture. The
report is as follows:
Wisconsin Farm Crop Report-Auq. is,
1905.
Practically all of the small grain in
the southern division of the state has
been harvested, and much of it is al
ready in stack. A large part of the
oats now in shock will be threshed
without stacking.
In tae central and northern diyi-
sions, probably twenty per cent. of the
oat crop is not yet harvested, on ac-
count, largely, of continuous rains
Some threshing has already been
done, and both yield per acre and
quality of grain are generally salts
factory. This is especially true OF
the oat crop, which promises large
yield of heavy grain.
The hot weather of the past month
has brought the corn crop forward re-
markably, and the promise of a full
crop in the southern division OF the
state is now excellent.
In the central and northern divi-
S1ons the crop was very slow in start
ing, and in many localities has not yet
reached the normal stage OF growth
for this time in the season,-while
western counties in these divisions re-
port satisfactory conditions.
The matured crop as a whole, de-
ponds much upon the weather we
may nave in September, but August
indications are better than for several
years past.
Wisconsin's potato crop is not to
equal that Of 1904;-but this in itself
is not a matter of encouragement to
the farmer, for last years crop exceed
ed the demand, and much of it was
sold at a loss.
Conditions have not been generally
favorable for the potato crop this
season. The stand is thin, the growth
unsatisfactory, and many locations
now report blight, liable to be fol-
lowed by rot
tobacco las grown nicely during the
past month, and harvesting of early
fields has already begun. Much of
the crop, however is late, and will
need some weeks time for maturing.
Sugar beets are making a good
growth, and promise heavy yield.
Pastures continue to be excellent,
and the second growth of grass upon
meadows is unusually rank.
Apples have fallen badly, and not
over one-half of full crop will be har-
vested.
We estimate the present condi-
ton of growing crops in the state as
a whole as follows:

ard Senator Cullom delivered a
speech that was warmly received by
the conference.
West Almost Unanimous.
Senator --elby M. Cullom of Illinois
said that the west is almost
unanimously in favor of reciprocity
eastern senators are almost solidly
against it, the minority in the senate
is divided, reciprocity under the
fourth section of the Dingley act has
failed
II believe that the Dingley rates
are sufficiently high to warrant our
entering Ito reciprocal arrangements
with Central and South American
countries, and with European nations
as WELL l very much prefer the adop-
ton of the principle of reciprocity as
a means Of retaining and extending
our foreign markets, as a means Of
quietly, without interruption of our
business conditions, revising, where
necessary, the tariff, as a means of
preventing discrimination against our
products such as Germany and other
nations now propose to make. But Il
we cannot secure the ratification Of re-
ciprociUy treaties there is one other
method that was seriously considered
by the committee on foreign relations
more than two years ago when it be-
came apparent that the reciprocity
treaties could not be ratified, and that
is the adoption of a maximum and
minimum tariff. By that | mean the
adoption of an arrangement, by act OF
congress, somewhat similar to that in
force in France. Have a minimum
tariff, applicable to all nations who
give our products the most favored
nation treatment, and maximum
tariff, say rs per cent higher, to apply
to nations which discriminate against
our products.
'The adoption of this principal
would not accomplish for our foreign
trade all that reciprocity would ac-
complish. 1t would not open any very
extensive new markets for our
products; but it would prevent dis

Pessimism in Russia.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 17.-Reports
received from Portsmouth that the
negotiations may be broken off at the
)end of the week, and possibly sooner,
have found a distinct echo in high of
fetal quarters here, where pessimism
is distinctly noticeable. The an
nouncement that the emperor's mani
festo summoning the douma VII be
issued Saturday has added to this
pessimism, because it had been de-
clared that it's date of issuance would
be dependent either on the conclusion
of peace or the breaking off of nego-
tiatiOns.

Article is the cession OF the

Russia guaranteed over 100000 OF
the railroad bonds and has annually
paid not only the interest on the
BONDS, but the deficits in operating ex-
penses, which have been heavy. AS
about half of this money went into

treasury is out of pocket about half
the total outlay Her only hope OF
saving anything is to arrange with
China. Japan, too, will have her claim
against the Pekin government for the
restoration of the road after it was
destroyed by Russian artillery, fer re-
building bridges and the change in the
guage 1t is believed that these two
questions are left by article Z for each
country to arrange with the celestial
empire. There were persistent rumors
that several powers, including the
Washington government, are bringing
pressure to bear upon Japan to lore
go the "cost of the war and content
herself with such other compensation
as she can secure out of the railroad,
Russian property in Port Arthur and

INSPECTORS AT WORK.
Life Preservers on Potomac Steamers
Being Overhauled.

AS result of the Slocum horror at New
York last summer in which nearly thou
sand persons lost their lives, and follow
ing upon the recent changes In the steam
boat inspection laws, the United States
local inspectors of steam vessels are ex-
ercising great vigilance in the inspection Of
the life preservers with which all passenger
carrying vessels Of the Potomac are
equipped All Of the life preservers on the
various steamers are being examined to
see that they como up to the standard de-
manded by the new regulations.
Inspectors White and Wright came over
from Baltimore the other day and PERSONAL
ly superintended the work of inspecting the
]. 100 life preservers Of the steamer Harry
Randall. When the vessel received her an
nual inspection about ten days ago the as
Sfstant inspectors went over all the life
preservers, but the chief inspectors thought
1t best to check up their work The same
vigilance and care Will be exercised in the
case of all the other steamers out of WASH
fnRton.
The new regulations governing the mat
ter of life preservers on steam vessels con-
tain many changes from the old laws on
the subject It Is now provided among
other things that each vessel shall carry
one life preserver, approved by the board
of supervising inspectors, for each person
permitted to be carried on the vessel by the
certificate of inspection. The preservers
must be made of good cork blocks, weigh
ing not less than six pounds. must be easily
adjustable. and must be capable of sup
porting twenty-pound pull for at least
twenty-four hours. Under the new regula-
tions pulyerized cork preservers must not
be used and the life preserver factories
have been working night and day in con-
sequence. In this city alone 1t is estimated
that about 5000 of these old preservers
have been condemned.
The Kopak life preserver. condemned this
year, was Endorsed by the board Of super
vising inspectors about year ago.
