LAWSON TALKS OF THE WEST
Author of FrenEied Finance Throws n
Few BOuquets-LIkes Way His
Audiences Treat Him.

ST. JOSEPH. July 1O.-Thomas W. Law
son OF Boston, of "Frenzed Finance" fame,
passed through St. Joseph tonight enroute
TO Fairbury, Neb., from Kansas City. His
private car Haslemaire was attached to the
Grand Island train, which arrived at 1880
o'clock.
A crowd gathered at the station and
watched the trust buster eat dinner He
sat at the head OF a brightly lighted table,
around which were the men who were ac-
companying him on the trip.
Asked OF his impressions of the west he
said:
What do I think OF the west? II I we're
after votes or dollars l would tell you
Then you would say was gushing. AS I
am not l will simply say Just what all red
blooded white men think. l don't know
just how western men weigh out on some
things. but on hearts and souls-well, / am
their press agent from now on. It Is not so
much what they say to a mans face, but
they do have way OF throwing up their
hearts TO the man on the stage wandering
through a long EFFORT, just he Is betting
he won't pull through. 1t makes me think
they must have heart under each set of
ribs.

list OF delegates from the Indian Territory

ST. PETERSBURG. July 1O.-Negotia-

question of the surrender Of the crew OF
the Kniaz Potemkine are in progress. Rus
sia is disposed to insist on the surrender
Of the men not as political prisoners, to
which Roumania would object, but as Grim
inals guilty Of murder and theft. There
were several hundred thousand roubles on
board the battleship, which the crew di-
vided when they left the ship. The Rou-

rassed by the fact that it promised the

New York stock Letter.

New York, July 12.-The market
is closing strong and sharply higher.
The feeling In Wall street seems to
be that the government report on
grains was bullish on stocks as the
principal tonnage comes from corn
and oats. Another thing which help
ed market prices today was the fact
that one of the strong western in
terests reported yesterday selling out
their stocks was today reported as
being very bullish on Reading, United
States Steel and Union Pacific. The
volume of business up to noon show.
ed a large selling off, but in the last
hour Of the trading the market has
been exceedingly active with general
market moving up. AS We said yes

present prices. The market Is re.
covering so forcibly from yesterdays

The FINANCIAL SITUATION.

The financial situation has. In a
broad sense. undergone slight change
during the week. says Henry Clews
In his weekly letter to The Optic.
The weeks new developments have
not. taken altogether. been quite as
satisfactorily as those OF the month Of
June. The government report on the
July condition Of cotton issued on
Monday was q very general surprise,
"A Il failed to indicate an improvement
In the plant such as the government
weather bureau had led the trade to
expect. As a result Of this report
the cotton market advanced very
sharply on the superstition that a
short crop will result from the present
planting. The spring wheat reports
have also shown somewhat greater
irregularity. with the tendency. II any
thing, toward a less favorable outlook.
Winter wheat, however, Is now pretty
generally harvested and the returns
promise to be well up to expectations.
The official announcement Of an.
other Japanese loan. OF which $780,
100000 viii be placed In this country
and 500, OO0. 900 abroad. becomes a
factor Of importance In the money sit

either in the form Of gold or credit.
according to the urgency OF the de-

Of the Japanese loan II will be well
TO view It from the international
