People Demand a Voice.
st. Petersburg, June 15.-The liber-
al newspapers are taking the decision
of the government to make peace, if
terms possible of acceptance are Of
fered, as a surrender and are follow
ing up their advantage by redOubling
their demands for a representative as
sembly, arguing that the Bureaucracy
which has proved its 1ncOmpetency to
make war successfully is equally in
capable of concluding creditable
peace. The Russ. now the leader of
the cOnstitutiOnalst papers, declares
that the government without the peO-
pies support is impotent to continue
the war and will be compelled to &C
cept any terms. Only national as
sembly, it insists. can now save the
situation because only with the sane
ton of the people can eXOFbitant con-
ditions be successfully resisted. The
Russ adds:
THE mere mention of peace has
aroused the people who profoundly
distrust the governments ability to
cope with the problem by mail and
telegraph. The committee is flooded
with petitions for the assembling of a
zemsky sober to pass upon the peace
terms. All classes of society are
unanimously of the opinion that the
present regime is done for and that
we must begin the history of new
Russia-Russia of the people,
Even the reactionary Sviet is car
ried off its feet by the tide and joins
in the chorus asking for a zemsly
sober. The Sviet. however, does not
ask for a zemsky sober in order to
make peace, but to secure the support
of the people to continue the war.

KELLY GOES FREE.
To Escape Punishment Because He
Turned States Evidence.

st. Louis, June 15.-All the charges
of perjury and bribery against Charles
f. Kelly, former speaker of the house of
delegates, have been nOlle prosecuted in
the criminal division of the circuit
court. Circuit Attorney Sager stated to
the court: Il move that these cases
against Charles F. Kelly be nolle prose-
quied. In making this motion, I desire
to say that he has been used by the
state as a witness and has kept faith
with the state. At the present time, he
is physically and mentally run down.
and the state recommends that the
nolle prosequies be accepted
Judge WithroW at once announced
that this would be done. Kelly, who
was in court, thanked Circuit Attorney
Sager and then began telling those
about him how steadfastly his wife had
stood by him during his troubles. Finally
he departed, accompanied by friends.
The cases quashed comprise the
charge of bribery in connection with the
passage of the city lighting bill, bribery
in connection with the passage Of the
Suburban railway franchise bill, and
perjury in connection with the general
Doodle charges
Kelly had pleaded guilty in the Su-
burban case, and on the charge Of per

Doodle charges.
Kelly had pleaded guilty in the Su-
burban case. and on the charge of per

but upon appeal, the supreme court had
reversed the finding and remanded the

BIG DEMAND FOR GUNS
German Works Forced to Decline
Heavy Order From Russia.

Berlin, June 15.-The Russian war Of
flee invited proposals from German am
munitiOn works this week for 200, 900, 900
cartridges of all kinds, costing between
81 500, 600 and 100000 and also for con-
siderable quantities of regulation in
fantry rifles. The largest arms and am
munition factory in Germany has been
obliged 10 decline contracts because it
has orders far ahead from the Russian,
Japan and other government. The bus
mess of making guns both large and
small is described as having never been
so active in Germany as at present.
With the German and Turkish govern
ment orders, the KrUpp works during
the year expanded to one-fourth larger
than ever before It is estimated that
more than $4,000 persons are now emf
ployed in the various German smaller
arms and gun factories, all of which
are turning out the most product of
which they are capable.

WHEAT-The government report issued
June 10, showing the condition of the win
ter wheat crop at S5.5 per cent, is con
strued by the Chicago Tribune to indicate
the winter wheat crop at 430, 900 bushels
and Of spring wheat 281, 100000 bushels; by
the Chicago Inter Ocean as 431, 900, 900 of
winter and zs0,0OO00o bushels of spring,
and by the Chicago Record-Herald, win
Ter and spring, 10000 bushels, against
bushels. CThen the final yield was given
as 100000 bushels less.) Last Saturday
the Chicago Daily Trade Bulletin made
the outlook show 100000 to $4,000, 600
bushels. A year ago they were over 1O0,-
10000 bushels over the final outcome.
The above yields are estimated at II to
Is bushels per acre. The last five years
average has been only 1921 bushels per
acre. Last year Texas grew z 500, 900
bushels, Indian Territory S.5O0000 bushels
Kansas s., 100000 bushels, Missouri q 900, eco
THESE same states were estimated in April
to grow 1856 900, COO bushels. I believe from
a standpoint of nature there will be no
more wheat raised in these states than
they grew last year. The acreage of these
states is now given at 10,5 COO. Last year
IN April the acreage was reported as H.
$1,000. Figuring on the growing crop at
the last five years average of 125 bushels
per acre, the last government report on
June 10, giving conditions as S5.5 per cent
would indicate a yield of winter wheat of
SOS, 900, 900 bushels. It seems strange that
crop experts persist in making the yield
around 436, 100000 bushels when no figures
the last five years show any reason for it.
They have been about 100 100000 bushels too
high long before harvest each year Why
are they not as much out of the way now
as any Of the past five yearS2 From all
reports coming in this seems to be the
most spotted crop we ever had, and be-
l1eYe wheat is purchase at the present
level of prices.
CORN-There is still no evidence of a
2,5O0000.OoO corn crop promised by Score
makers believe July and September corn
will sell at 60c on the Chicago market.

buying by shorts caused a firm tone in
tne wheat market here today. The demand
was due partly to wet weather in the Ca
madam northwest, conditions in the United
states being generally favorable to the
advancement of the new crop. A feature
Of the trading was active demand from
commission houses for the September de-
livery. July opened 1sQ2sc higher, at $3.50
$3.50, and advanced to S67kc Minneapolis,
Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of
179 cars, against 256 cars a year ago.
Strength at Minneapolis, where the
price of the July option was up over &c,
had sympathetic effect on the market
here. The sharp advance in the north
west was due mainly to reports to the ef-
feet that the spring wheat crop was in
imminent danger from rust. Prices here
advanced steadily throughout the entire
session, the market closing at the highest
point with July up 13<q1ssc, at S715QS7ssc.
CORN-Reports in constantly increasing
feet on the corn market Liberal receipts
gave bears an additional reason for SELL
ing. Another bearish influence was a
marked decline at Liverpool. Cash houses
were the chief sellers. July opened a
shade to &c lower, at 62d523sc, and held
around 525kc

New York, June 15.-Seeking to estab-
lish her claim to a s2O.O0O,OO0 estate which
includes a tract a mile and a half long
and mile wide through the heart of the
city of Quebec, and eight acres of the ia
nous Plains of Abraham, Mrs Caroline

that the estate is entailed so that most
