 OF THE WEST
Gall Issued for TrdRS-MiS-
 SiSSippi Congress
Partial List of Matters Which Will Be Brought Up for Consideration.

Kansas City. Aug. 5.-The official call for the seventeenth annual session of the Trans Mississippi Commercial Congress, to meet in Kansas City, Mo-, November 20. 21, 22 and 23 next, was issued here today by the executive com mittee. The congress promises to be the most important since its organiza- ton. Many great questions are to be considered. The call is addressed to the governors of states and territories, mayors of cities. commercial clubs, chambers of commerce. boards of trade, industrial mercantile, and maritime or ganizations generally. In issuing this call the executive committee directs attention to the necessity for some con- certed action upon the great question affecting navigation upon the rivers of the trans Mississippi states.
 The executive committee is also re- quested to bring the matter of arabic lands to the attention of the Trans Mississippi Commercial Congress to- gether with the fact that additional territory thus put under cultivation adds enormously to the business of the great cities of the middle west outside the irrigated regions. Inasmuch as re- cent packing house agitation both at home and abroad has had an effect detrimental to the live stock interests of the trans Mississippi states. the ex- ccutive committee has placed this sub ject upon the program with the hope that out of a multiplicity of counsel some right conclusions may be reached beneficial to this most important branch of western industry. The marked progress made by President Roosevelt and the national congress to- ward the construction of a canal across the isthmus of Panama has again brough this project to the attention of
 the Trans Mississippi Commercial Congress. Requests are made that the subject of "a department of mines and mining with its head member of the cabinet of the United States" be placed upon the program.
 Other subjects on which discussion and recommendation may be had are as follows: Flood control. harbor i'm prOvement. merchant marine oriental trade. Alaska, Columbia river. irriga- ton. forestry. san Francisco. naval construction on the Pacific coast. trusts
 and their relation to business. govern ment ownership of railways, telegraph ] lines and public utilities generally levees in Texas and Louisiana, tho Pan American commercial union | drainage of public lands. statehood and ! deep water from the lakes to the gulf It is the desire of the executive com 1 mittee to confine the discussion to mat ] ters of general interest and to exclud | subjects of a political nature. D. R 1 Francis of St. Louis is president, Ere, ! w. Fleming of Kansas City, Mo-, chair 1 man of the executive committee. Ton | Richardson of Portland, Ore, vic' ] chairman executive committee. E. R !

Camp was established promptly in a man ner which was highly complimented by Col. Leroy Brown. of the Twenty sixth Infantry.

millions, and since that period has con tinued at about this figure, while cut diamonds, which, in 1900, were a little less than million dollars, were over 15 millions in 1903, and 24 millions in 1906.
 This importation of diamonds in the uncut state is a development of recent years The census reports gave the number of wage -earners engaged in lapidary work in the United States in 1890 at only 92, and in 1900 at 49S, and the value of the products in 1890 at S315, 604 and in 1900 at $5,7S6,2 Prior to 1896 the value of diamonds i'm ported in the uncut state was less than 1 million dollars annually. In 1897 il passed the million-dol line, and has gradually increased until. as above in- dicated, it has ranged about 10 million dollars a year during the last three or four years.
 Practically all the diamonds import ed into the United States. while the product of the African mines, are i'm ported direct from European countries Of the 1O12 million dollars worth ot uncut diamonds imported in 1906 nearly millions came from the United Kingdom and about ? millions iron Belgium, while of the 24A million dol lars worth of cut diamonds imported in that year 10 million dollars worth were from the Netherlands, the great diamond cutting country of the world , million dollars worth from France AZ million dollars worth from Bel gium, and Az million dollars wortf from the United Kingdom.
 In addition to the 8 million dollars worth of diamonds imported in 1906
 
 States over million dollars worth o other precious stones cut but not set including natural pearls, thus making the total value of precious stone. brought into the United States in tho year just ended over 40 million dollars against about B million dollars wortI in 1905 and 31 millions in 1903.

THE RUSSIAN PUBLIC
 AGAINST THE STRIKE
The Fate of fine Industrial Movement to
 Be Decided Today
The Expected Support of the Railroad Workers Nee essary to Create a Tie-Up is Still Lacking--The Leaders Divided.

St. Petersburg, Aug. 6.-The fate of the general strike, which. although it has affected close to 10000 men in St. Petersburg, has met with only slight response in other sections of Russia, probably will be decided today with an adverse expression of public opin- ion. The lack of union among leaders of the proletariat organizations is playing against the success of the movement
 The railroad men. upon whom the success of the entire movement de- pends are still working full time. The leaders of the railroad organizations are hesitating about issuing d call for tie up. They fear being deserted and discredited by their materialistic fol- lowers, who are no more responsive to the avowed pretext of this strike, namely sympathy with mutineers of Sveaborg, Cronstadt and Reval. than they were 10 the similar reasons given for the abortive strike of last Novem- Der.
 The council of workmen's deputies which met secretly at Terioki, Finland. continued it's session until a late hour yesterday morning The deputies were so far incensed at the timidity dis played by the railroad men that they decided to resort if necessary to the blowing up of the bridges and the de- struction of the roadbed, etc, to bring the transportation to standstin Representatives of all revolutionary parties and emissaries from Moscow Kieff Odessa and other cities were present at the meeting.
 The tclesraphers thus far have been appealed 10 in vain. The final meeting of the council still is being held at 1 90 this morning. The first break in tho ranks of the St. Petersburg strikers oc- cured yesteday when the printers de- Cided to return to work

Uzovka. Aug. 5.-In spite of the proclamation of the governor general to take extraordinary measures" in case the workmen still laboring in the mines should cease work, the summons from st.
