CAUSES EXCITEMENT.
in Sues Canal Is to Re
 Blown Up.


 New York, Sept 26.-Intense excite ment prevails at Port Said consequent on the decision to blow up the steam ship Chatham. which was sunk in the Suez Canal some weeks ago while on fire, says a Herald dispatch from All exandria.
 That the town will be damaged to any extent is considered unlikely, the vessel being nearly twelve miles dis tant.
 Batteries for the explosion are al- ready fixed at Kantara, which Is four teen miles distant from the ship.
 Among the preparations made, the railway authorities have 1000 bags of sand ready for repairs and large staff of workmen has been engaged, as the fresh water canal has been diverted 222 yards. Canal traffic ceases on Wednes- day evening.
 The dynamite on board the Chatham will be the greatest amount ever blown up at one explosion. Thirty tons of jy- namite were exploded in 1893 on board a ship anchored at Santaander, killing 500 people and injuring over 2,000.
 Thursdays explosion will be far big ger, but the canal runs through the open desert at the point in question, and all necessary precautions have been taken

At Minneapolis and Duluth arrivals today were only 627 ears, against eS5 same day a year ago. From fhe start commission houses and shorts were active buyers. At times the offerings were liberal but demand was sufficiently" urgent 10 absorb all the wheat offered for sale without the market showing any signs of vEaakeninR. Energetic demand for cash wheat at all the principal grain centres of fhO United States gave added emphasis 10 the upward tendency of prices here.

Russian View of Treaty.

St. Petersburg. Sept. 27.-The first comment heard here as the result or the perusal of the long expected text of the Anglo-Japanese treaty can be conservatively characterized with the word alarming" It was fully expect ed that 1t would prove to be very significant and important document The first study not only confirmed this view. but strengthened 1t. It IS too soon yet to give any full report of how 1t was received in Russia and when officials were questioned on the subject today the invariable answer was that 1t was too soon to express any opinion on such a weighty and inn portant matter.
 But there was no doubt that the first opinion of the treaty Is a fearsome one. It is considered to be most broad and far reaching. The use of the terms protection of common interests" and measures which should be taken" are regarded here as being open to any interpretation the signatories desire to give to them. Coupled with the use of the words East Asia apparently applying to all Asia east of India in cluding the East Islands and Indo- China, they are considered to prove clearly that the signatories purpose is to act in the part of the world speci- fled with the freest kind of hand This conviction cannot but create alarm in Russia.

R,.hop Potter,s Address.

New York, Sept. 27.-Addressing the annual diocesan convention Of the Protestant Episcopal Church, diocese of New York today Bishop Henry Cor man Potter urged the convention to take some action as body before ad- journment on the recent peace conter- ence at Portsmouth, and the action or President Roosevelt in bringing about the result. Tt is the most remarka- bIe achievement that has occurred In the history of man--that two great powers came to this country and ami cably settled their differences, the sig nificance of which only one whose vis- ion Is limited can underestimate" said the bishop. q feel ashamed that the raonIe of Christian faith should attri- bute selfish and sordid motives on the mart of Japan to this great act, for 1t was a great act-that for the first time in the history of the Christian era the most august teachings of Christ should have been given practical adoption by a pagan nation"

Origin of Dog Days.

London Chronicle.
 According to the generally accepted doctrine the dog days begin on July and end on August II, but there have been disputes as to every possible point a bout them. It was universally agreed that they were connected with the dog star, but which one? The real dog star Sirius-or Procyon. the little dog? Then there were disagreemehts as to the particular astronomical perform ance of the star that fixed the uog days; as to their number. which varied in different estimates between 30 and 54; and whether they were to be reck- oned before, after or around the stars performances. The forty settled on precede the rising of Sirius with the sun. A belief grew up that in these days dogs went mad. but terrestiaI dogs have really nothing to do with 1t. The original belief was that the star and sun together brought intense heat and all sorts of plaques.

Improved Intellectually and Morally.

FOSI.
 The capital of nearly all of our veal thy citizens Is invested in manufactur- ing, mining or transportation, giving useful and profitable employment to giving more time to business than their employees do. Some of the own CTS of vast properties are accused of squandering their SWealth because they are free-handed in spending money. But that puts their cash into the chan nels of trade, paying for labor of many kinds. Of course, there are rich fools. a great fortune does not furnish an as- sursnce that his sons will inherit his business that his sons will inherit his tate. But those weddings, by exercis- ing their folly, only distribute the mill lions their fathers piled up. As for intellectual strength and culture the present generation of Americans shows no decadence As to morals, this gem eration is on a higher plane than any that has preceded 1t.

 Baron Kaneko, acting as spokesman for Baron Komura, said:

New York. Sept; 27,-Ths cotton market generally was easier under liquidation and bear pressure. with the close barely steady at net decline of iTG22 points. Sales were estimated at 500.0 900 bales.
 The opening was steady at a decline of 207 points. or just about as due on the showing by Liverpool At first there seem cd q fair demand and prices ruled fairly steady, but the list soon weakened under scattering liquidation and bear pressure.
 There was a brief reaction of about four or five points around midday. but the mar ket lost ground again in the afternoon and the close was within a point or two Of the lowest. The weather in the South was good but there seemed to be no change in the general character of the Southern news. either regarding spot conditions or the out look for the crop.
