Willy MILLER RUNS
CORNER IN CANADA
July Wheat Goes Out Of Sight on
Winnipeg Floor-Shorts Get
Injunction.

Taking the list between her teeth
little Winnipeg ran away from every
thing in the wheat trade of the world
today, July wheat, in the Canadian
market squirting up from $l.16 to $l.3O.
Veterans in the grain trade in the big
markets Of Minneapolis and Chicago
watched the run above the line where
others, have cornered July wheat and
are now showing the world how to do
it right. Winnipeg, frontier post
when Chicago was great city, and
only within two years a market for
grain futures; is running corner that
makes Minneapolis manipulation of re-
cent memory look like coarse work,
puts the doings Of cold Hutch" and
Phillips Of Chicago into the back
ground, and even throws slight shad-
ow upon the remarkable record Of the
redoubtable Joe Letter.
: The Ogiilyies are the big millers Of
Canada. They have been buying Win
nipeg July wheat secretly for SOME
time. Today R., Muir, members Of a
Canadian grain firm, secured an in
junction against the clearing house. of
the Winnipfg exchange, with asview
to heading spf the corner. When this
was learned panic struck the shorts.
Three lafsA Miipneapols houses main
tain branch Offices in Winnipeg, name
ly, Lewis, Watson and Van Dusen-Har
rington. The latter firm was reported
to have paid $1.30 for a 5,000-bushel
lot. Several American traders were
short and were caught.
The possibility of breaking the cor
ner by rushing wheat up from Mime
apolis suggested itself, for Minneapolis
July closed at $1.061a, difference of
231a cents. The idea was abandoned,
however, for, to make good delivery the
wheat would have to be in Canada be-
fore Saturday night, and it would have
to 90 to Fort William or Port Arthur,
as sales of futures in Winnipeg imply
delivery at lake ports.

ization of Vladivost0k on
Those Terms.

Washington, July 27.-As a clearer
idea is gained of Japan peace terms,
the skepticism with which Washington
received the European reports that ia
pan would demand the naturalization
of Fladivostok, is lessened.
1t is learned that not only is this
likely to constitute one Of Japan s de-
mands, but it will be accompanied by
a startling counter proposal. In ef-
informed source, Japan will propose
in return for the naturalization Of Via
divostok, not to fortify Port Arthur.
Should this information prove cor
rect, it will entirely change. the view
which has prevailed in official circles,
mat the question OF Vladlvostok,s neu-
tralization could not reasonably be
1t is pointed out that, while the war
has demonstrated that Port Arthur
was military blunder, nevertheless,
this great fertilization constitutes a
tremendous political influence in the
far east, and it's abandonment as a
stronghold is a concession of such mag
nitude that it is not felt that Russia
can refuse to meet it.
On the other hand, Japan's sacrifice
would not be as great as seems at first
glance, because her fertilization of the
straits of Korea would offset the loss
of Port Arthur as a strategic point.
1t is believed here that the quest of,
Vladivostok will prove to be one Of the
most difficult which the conference will
face, as Russia has not concealed her
Discrimination to permit it to enter into
the negotiations.
In this, connection, an interesting
story is current in diplomatic circles re-
garding the selection of Baron Komura

sordi .g tG this .h ps, had a ha55G,y

About a Grown.

Stockholm, Sweden, July 27.-Both
houses Of the Swedish parliament to-.
day approved the report of the special
committee appointed by parliament to
deal with the crisis between Norway
and Sweden. In the first chamber the
report was adopted without debate.
In, the second chamber the recon-
mendation in the report regarding ne
gotiations for a dissolution was adopted
unanimously.
There was some objection to the pro-
posed loan Of $25,000,OOO to meet the
new conditions. About score of mem
bers voted against the loan, the social
democratic leader, Herr Branting, point
ing. out the danger Of militarism and
contrary to the peaceful spirit Of the
recommendation to negotiate. It was a
dangerous precedent, he said, for
Sweden never heretofore had borrowed
money for military purposes, and he
feared Norway would regard it as be-
ing in the nature Of a threat Of war.
This view was contested by other
speakers. who pointed out that the riks-
dag, by its unanimous approval of the
condition Of dissolution, had voiced it's
Willingness to dissolve the union and it's
desire for peace, both in the present
and in the future.

DOLLAR GIFTS TO HELP

Philadelphia, July 27.-Acting on a
suggestion recently made, several citi-
zens have started dollar fund
to help Mayor Weaver defray the heavy
expense he is under in fighting for tho
city s rights against the contract COM
bination and the gang.
Public attention has been attracted
by the fact that ever since Mayor
Weaver entered upon the campaign, he
has had to contend with determined OBJ
struction. It was necessary in the first
instance that he should undertake the
work on his own responsibility, but he
his private resources for the prelimin-
airy expenses. It has become clear that

Several contributions have been re-

WOULD REBUILD
TRACK For THERY
Minneapolis Automobile Club Is
Planning to Present a Thrill
ing Spectacle.

Cablegrams from Leon Thery and
Lancia are expected at any hour by
the officers of the Minneapolis Auto
mobile club signifying their intention
to accept the invitation of the club
to race at the meet to be held at
Hamline in the fall The presence of
the world famous racers will insure the
public that the Minneapolis club in
tends to give the greatest racing meet
ever held on this side of the Atlantic.
Thery won the Gordon Bennett cup
and Lancia was his close pursuer. In
cidentally Thery also picked up $780,
600 by winning the race.
What Chuffers Say.
When Chevrolet, Webb Jay, Barney
Oldfeld, and Earl Kiser were on the
Hamline track they declared it to be
fast and that if the purses had been
sufficiently high that it would easily
have proved itself to be SO second
course. That was with the track not
oiled. The Minneapolis club proposes,
not only to oil the track, but to bank
the corners. The corners will be raised
not by heaping up dirt, but by employ,
ing plank platforms. A skilled engi.
neer will carefully compute the neces.
sary pitch. This will insure that when
the world fastest cars dash around
the track that there will be no dust
and no let-up at the turns.
Fastest In America.
This means that the Hamline track
will be the fastest one-mile circular
track in America. All records will be
broken and there will be real racing
which has not been found on any other
track due to the dust. Except for a
breakdown Of an engine there will be
no possibility Of an accident and there
will be the chance for all sorts of
neck and neck races. The car that
secures the lead will have to fight fol
every inch and will not have the ad
vantage of throwing dust in the eyes
of the pursuers.
American Drivers Coming.
Not only will the foreign racers be
novelties, but the American racers who
Paul races will have chance tC
show what they can do. With the ex
ception Of the last race between the
Winton Bullet and the White Steamer
everything was practically a process
sion as far as the professionals were
concerned. On fast track these cars
will be able to clip from four to eight
seconds off their time. After the races
the platforms can be removed from the
track without damage and preserved
for future use.

Stockholm, Sweden, July 6.-The
great bulwark against Scandina-
Wan war is King Oscar himself.
That aged but level-headed mon
arch has made up his mind that
there shall be no war if he can
prevent It, And since the declara-
absolutely prevent hostilities, unless in
deed Norway should attack Sweden and
put her on the defensive. This latter
eventuality is so remote, that it may be
predicted with great assurance that
there will be no war.
So strongly does the king feel on the
subject, and SO ayerse is he to any
both of whom are very dear to him
that he has held almost daily family
councils, in which all the men Of the
royal family have participated. These
have been peace councils, and they have
committed the royal family absolutely
to peace-at-any-pric policy. This is
important, because it means that the
crown prince, who is supposed in many
quarters to be in favor Of bringing the
Norwegians to terms and who in the
early stages of the controversy was said
to have delivered himself Of some war
like utterances, is now entirely commit
ted to Oscars policy. So that if the
king should break down under the
heavy load he is carrying and abdicate
in favor Of Gnstaf, there would be no
change in the attitude Of the house Of
Bernadotte.
Strong Peace Parry.
This state Of affairs is very exasper-
ating to the chauyinist element among
the press who have been demanding

It is significant that former Premier

shortsighted policy brought about the
crisis, and who favored treating the
Norwegians with great severity, has
now, come around to the peace party.
striving to repair IT.: The present min
istry, as is well understood, is a mere
makeshift affair which represents no one
and has no policy of its own. When Mr.
Bostrom resigned, the king preferred
to tide matters over with such minis

The peasant party in the lower

travagant upper house from emptying

conference with Mr.. Bostrom yesterday,
the result of which is understood to
have been the conversion of the peasant
leaders to the peace policy absolutely.
- Lets Alone Policy.
There is much talk among the riks-
dag men Of the extreme left' for
what may be called the laissez-aller (let
a1one) policy. They would sit back and
let things take their course without at
