CUBANS ARE GRADUALLY
 TAKING UP AGRICULTURE

Havana, October 16.-Reports received from all over the island show that agr- culture is being gradually resumed. There arc no further signs of discomfort with the exception of complaints that some of the moderate officials ought to be re- moved. The liberals are talking about the displacement of certain of the more partisan officials of certain of the more positions, but no move in that direction has been made by the leaders.
 The strongly moderate partisans con- tinue to be dissatisfied and assert that the peace commissioner while here should have consulted more with the represen- tatives of the conservative business in- forests. A great majority of these how ever, believed that in any event inter- vention was bound to come. While here Is some apprehension with regard to yei- low fever the situation is not regarded as especially dangerous. The number of cases under treatment in Havana this evening is ten, making total for Oc- tober of thirteen. There Is one case at Cruces and two at Cienfuegos. Dr. Carlos F'inlay, the chief of the depart ment of health and sanitation, said to- night that while the fever in Havana was epidemic, the situation was not one to cause serious alarm and that there was every expectation that the spread Of the disease could be prevented. This Is due to the fact that most of the pa- tients are Spanish laborers who continued their avocations after infection. There have been no American cases. Major Kean, of the medical department does not consider the situation with appre- hension. He said this evening that the work of mosquito extermination was pro- gressing vigorously and effectively.
 Governor Magoon this afternoon re- oeived the diplomatic corps, the judges of the supreme court, the mayor and 1Gany councillors of Havana, the various consular representatives here and delega-

GRAIN MEN COMPLY WITH LAWS SPIRIT Technical Violations in Illinois
 Should Not Count PROMINENT MEN CALLED Transference z, Title to Grain Stored In Various Elevators Is Done to
 Comply With the
 Law.

Chicago, October 16.-W s. Jackson, former president of the Chicago board of trade, was called as witness at to- days session of the interstate commerce commission to testify as to the practice of owners of elevators storing grain con- trary to law. He testified that he had known of cases where grain had been stored in elevators that belonged to the owners of the warehouses. In such cases, he stated, however, it was the cus- tom to transfer the title of grain be- fore storing it, thus in a way complying with the letter of the law After the grain was removed from the elevators, he asserted, 1t would be retrasferreG to the owner Several other grain men testified that such a practice was in use and stated that they did not consider it in violation of the law.
 Broker Is First Witness.
 Richard Gambrill, q board of trade broker was the first witness called. MT. Gambrill declared that the rules of the Chicago board of trade are clearly in re- straint of trade and are rapidly making the Chicago grain market in the words of the witness a lone home proposition"
 A rule Is posted on the Chicago board of trade, each afternoon, said MT. Gam brill, which prevents me from going into the country and bidding for grain. That to my mind Is detrimental to business and is in restraint of trade"
 Samuel Finney, another broker of the board of trade, testlhed that there is an agreement between certain board of trade men to bid certain prices for grain in the country and he named two firms, which he declared are a party to this agreement. Employees of these firms were at once served with subpoenas.

 railroad was then called to tell about the purchase of elevators from the Chi cago, Rock Island Elevator company for $1 000, 0O0 concerning which MT. Shaffer testified yesterday.
 President Winchells testimony covered the details of the purchase of the eleva- tors and contanied nothing sensational.
 Testifes About Agreement.
 James Petit, president of the Peavy Grain company, testified that up to sixty days ago there was an agreement between six elevator companies whereby their profits on the storage of grain were assured them, each agreeing to refrain from taking grain from the warehouse of the other for storage. He said that this agreement was reported when the new rate law went into effect.
 Mr. Petit declared that. the agree ment between the elevator companies provided that each company should pay in three-ffths of one cent a bushel of the storage for the first ten days, the money to be kept In a fund to be redistributed to the companies in proportion to the amount of grain in each storage house. Under this agreement if no grain went out of the stores, all of the money was returned. If there were but two com panles in the agreement and one allowed 100000 bushels to be taken put, that com- pany would get back two-thirds of the amount it had paid in and the other company would retain one-third
 MT. Petit declared that he was not sure whether the new rate law would per init of this agreement and not being able to obtain a clear legal opinion as to it's legality, he withdrew from the agree ment Those who had been in it with him, he said, were the Willard Elevator company, Calumet Elevator company, Central Elevator company. South Chica- go Elevator and The J. Rosenbaum Grain company The witness said that the agreement did not prevent competition, but declared that it allowed the bidding of a higher price for grain in the country. A number of prominent local grain dealers have been subpoenaed before the commission tomorrow.

Will be only necessary as suggested
to get the recommendation of Secre-
tary Root to obtain an appropriation
from Congress. That congress would
attract great many people here. He
was in favor of going ahead and re-
stricting the first conference to Amer
lean consuls.
Governor Carter said it seemed as
if, located here in the middle of the
Pacific, our citizens ought to take a
lead in building up the trade of this
ocean. They should not sit still, wait
ing for the plum to drop into their
mouths.
Mr.. Peck suggested that the idea
needed elaboration. If the scheme
could not expect assistance from Con
gress. 1t must be for the benefit of
those who come here. They should
elaborate just what inducements can
be offered to the consuls.
Governor Carter said in effect that
the benefit was not more than in
cIdentally intended for Hawaii, but the
object was to show that this was the
most central spot in the Pacific for
such a congress. Individual problems
will come up for the consuls to con
slider. 1t would be a positive benefit
to the consular service. The relations
it should bear to civil service reform
was one matter for discussion
Mr.. Peck asked if the consuls for all
the world were to be invited.
''Oh, no, only those of the Pacific, -
the Governor answered
Mr.. Peck understood it now 1t was
a matter of having the conference here
instead of San Francisco. 1t seemed
to him they ought to be all of one
mind if the United States Government
was going to hold the conference.
If that is all you gentlemen can
say the Governor responded, "you
had better vote against the proposition.
We want to work up the United States
Government.
''Oh, no, that is not my idea,' Mr..
Peck said. ~ simply want to under
stand the thing

commerce of the Pacific grow without

thing. We may be able to do a great

He suggested that the room was
warm and there was nothing more to
be said if they were willing to take
up the matter. j
Mr.. Smith, as the meeting rose to
its feet, moved that the commercial
organizations take up the matter and
report to the Governor

Smith put it to vote and it carried
