POINTS LEFT OPEN.
A Chance for Prolonged Negotiations
on the Morocco Question.

Berlin, June 24-The foreign office
officials are busily engaged in studying
the French note on Morocco, the I'M
usual length of which will necessarily
delay answering it. Emperor Will
Ham's absence at Kiel, the foreign Of
fee says, will cause no delay in the
negotiations inasmuch as he is daily
informed on all points and his deciS-
ions are promptly given.
AS the study of Premier ROuvier's
answer progresses, the fact becomes
evident that he has left many points
open for discussion and from which
further negotiations can continue. The
greatest difference now seems to be in
agreeing on whether Germany and
France shall seek to reach a separate
agreement before the meeting of the
conference, thus eliminating many
matters from international action.
Germany apparently holds the view
that it would be an act of diScOurtesy
to the powers which have already
agreed to attend the conference if she
arranged matters beforehand with
France.
Onicial circles here continue to fol-
low the affair with keen interest. but
without anything like excitement,
much less bellicOSe inclinations They
watch closely the movements of public
opinion in France and While it is rec
ognized that the French people at
large have grown much less Chauvin-
istic toward Germany In the last few
years, corresponding with the waning
influence of the nationalist clerical
military ombinatfOn in French politics
some anxiety still pervails in Berlin
lest the leaders of the opposition of
the French government again succeed
in inflaHing the passions of the people
and arouse a storm which the repub-
lican leaders would be unable to with
stand

Kansas city, June %, 1sO5.-5:OO P, NJ.

Kansas City June 10 l5U9.--5-UJ r M
WHEAT-Wheat has ruled firm all the
week and is selling very much higher than
a Week ago, reaching yesterday the high
est price since the last of April, when the
May deal was liquidated. Cash wheat still
maintains a premium over July, while
the spread between July and September
deliveries has widened about cents per
bushel.
It is becoming more and more evident
tnat ms year crop IS NOT 10 pe as large
as estimated early in the season Returns
from the harvest fields in no instance re-
port yield beyond expectations, but in
many Localities the returns are unsatis-
factory Rain and predictions of rain,
both in the southwest and the northwest,
have helped to advance prices, the visible
supply again showed q decrease for the
week, cash demand has been good, and
until the crops are assured beyond a doubt
the disposition of traders is to favor the
long side Those who have the courage to
sell short quickly lose it all and run to
cover on the first appearance of any bull
news.
We see no reason to change our opinion
as long as the same conditions prevail and
believe on all breaks wheat should be
Der on any moderate decline from yeSter
days price and hold for good profit,
CORN-Corn shows q good advance for
the week and closes higher than a week
go, but with a material decline from the
writer as though the Strength was being
transferred to the September delivery and
the leaders unloa ding their July
Receipts have been light and stocks of
corn in Chicago are said to be smaller
than ever before. and if the demand keeps
up there is small chance for any accumu-
lation for delivery on July contracts.
While statistically corn has been in
strong position for some weeks, still from
a commercial standpoint alone present
prices do not seem justified What the
parties who are in control mean to do with
it is something we can not guess, and for
this reason, if for no other, we advise
leaving the short side alone. Aside from
the fear of manipulation the time of year
is at hand when crop damage reports are
due and prices. on news of any disaster to
the crop. could go up without taking heed
of the orders for their going. If there
should be a break in the September corn,
would rather be long a little of it than
out of the market entirely, as it looks like
going higher.
OATS-Oats have sympathized with
wheat and corn and closed over cent
higher last night than week ago The
crop is assured, barring wet harvest, but
the price is relatively cheaper than corn
and in a. measure discounts a large crop.
Would buy the September on breaks and
sell on bulges only when the other cereals
show signs of weakness, as oats will I'M
doubtedIy continue to follow their lead.
NISIONS-ProVisiOns were more &C
tive yesterday than they have been for
some time past. Ribs showed unusual
strength, but lard lacked life during the
entire session. Pork was StrOn= and show
ed an advance over a few days ago, but
no material change from a week ago.
Think pork and ribs will do to buy on
breaks, particularly the latter.

KIDNAP HARVEST HANDS.
Consignmcnts of Men Taken From

Kansas City, June 24.-LOST-Be-

dtan-'Shut eyes and run if I get any
farm hands out to Pratt. It appears to
me that a harvest hand can't cross the
state line before some farmer hunts him
down and gathers him in. I wonder if
it's holdup or bribery? Boodling some
where"
A. B. Jamison, superintendent of the
state free employment bureau, said this
yesterday. while he was worrying away
with telephone calls, telegraph messages
ana letter mail from Pratt, Kan, one
of the towns in the wheat belt, 276 miles
west OF here.
Il have started 173 men to Pratt" Mr.
Jamison said, "and it appears that
farmers have met them at points along
the way and taken them from the trains.
Reports from Kansas say that when
trains stop in the little stations, the
crop owners rush into the cars and If a
harvest hand is in sight, they collar
him. It's all over with his railroad
ride. They make quick terms and by
the time trains get towards the west
ern-central part of the state there's not
one left on the train.
Il have a letter from T. b Gerow,
director of the free employment office
at Topeka. which says he is meeting
with the same trouble. However. Gerow

From July 1 the bureau of forestry is to be officially known as the forest service. The change was made by congress last winter. when it provided for the government work in forestry during the coming year. and signalized an important advance in the scope of that work The actual control and ad- of the national forest re- serves. formerly under the charge of the land office of the department of the is now in the hands of the forest service. the only branch of the public service possessed of the scien- tifc and technical knowledge neces- sary for the enlightened care and use of the forests. This means that the reserves are to be made to yield to the people of the country the largest benefits which intelligent management can get out of them. Use. not reserva- ton from use. is the essential purpose for which they exist-but use under such conditions as shall make their benefits permanent.

The coming session Of congress. that is, the one which the president will call into existence on the 18th of next October. promises 10 be extremely live ly. Two intensely important questions
 will be placed before 1t in the presi- dents message. and on the action of congress on these problems may de- pend the immediate future history of the country, and certainly will depend the future of the now dominant party. The first of these, and the president places II first in the point of impor- tance. will he the question of railway rates. The second will he the tariff. which is always with us but which will assume a new interest when a republi- can president recommends that it's schedules be scaled so as 10 prevent .'rhe fostering of monopoly" and the rohbing Of the folks at home To the interruptions newspaper corresPon- dent the session will prove a harvest.

attack. The female early in the spring lays her eggs in nest, usually about forty in one nest, at a spot where the warm rays of the sun do the matching. Almost immediately upon being matched the female leads her young into the water and then they fall a prey to their natural enemies. Those that do survive become the victims of the hunter later in life. It is estimated that 2,500,OOO alligators were killed in Florida alone from 1880 to 1894 They are becoming exceedingly scarce and the price of the hides has increased enormously. No scientific information can be secured from the alligator in captivity and it is the purpose of Dr Reese to look for it in his native haunts. The results of his work will be made public through the Smithson- ian institution.
