ST. Paul. Aug. 21-The Great
Northern, Northern Pacific and 500
lines have filed with the state grain
and warehouse commission notice of
a 10 per cent reduction in grain rates.
The reductions will apply to all ter
ritory more than fifty miles distant
from the terminals and includes prac-
tically all OF the territory in which
grain is raised
The three reads named made pro-
position recently to the railroad ana
warehouse commission Offering to re-
duce grain rates 10 per cent ir the
commission would suspend the pend
ing hearing on merchandise rates.
The commission, owing IT, ~pposi-
tion, declined to accep, tne PROPOSE
tion, and later gave notice of an in
quiry into the grain rates.
The three roads then voluntarily
filed their notice of reduction. 1t is
estimated that the lower rates will
mean a saving of from $1.0O0,0OO to
s1,5OO,0O0 on this years bumper crop.

the greatest CONSERVATION,
which was further heightened
by the pealing of fire bells an
nouncing the breaking out of
fires in various quarters of the
city. The first great shock
lasted four minutes and fifty
seconds. Such long shocks had
never occurred before in the
memory of any inhabitant of
Santiago. 1t caused bells of the
churches to ring, pictures
swung out from the walls and
there was a great heaving mo-
tion of the ground. Experts
say that the only thing which
saved Santiago from complete
ruin was that the motion was
circular. The principal shock
was from Valparaiso to Santi-
ago and Meripilla, with it's CEN
tral point at Limache. The last
two named towns were de-
stroyed as were also Quillota
and Llaillai.,
The statement that the. ap-
proach of the earthquake was
announced by the naval obser-
vatory at Valparaiso two davs
previous to it's occurrence and
published the day before is con-
firmed.
The uncertainty as to what is
occurring elsewhere in Chile
and the almost complete isola-
tion of Santiago, combined
with continuing earth shocks
are terribly trying, and render
the people almost desperate. A
dispatch received here from
Limache says that a hundred
bodies there remain unburied
and that the authorities up to
the present time have only been
able to bury two hundred.
The villages Of San Fran
cisco and Limache have been
totally destroyed, including
hospitals, churches and all pub
lie buildings.

Havana. Aug. 21.-The secretary of
state who was acting as secretary of

cabinet. His action was due to pioue
because President Palma criticised
him for not being in close touch with
the lnsurrectionary movement and for
not strongly grasping the situation.
This eliminated in the appointment

transpired. This system, however,
has since been abandoned. The gov

The authorities of Santa Clara pro-

also arrested on roads leaving this

Many people are coming into Ha-

President Roosevelt Writes a
Very Interesting Letter to
]. e. Watson on the Subject
Said to be Nearest His Heart.
WOULD LIMIT HOURS
OF RAILWAY EMPLOYEES
Thinks Curbing of Trusts Cannot he
Secured by Change In the
..
Tarid.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
New York, Aug. 21.-A letter written
by President Roosevelt to Congress-
man Jas. E. Watson of Rushville, Ind.
reviewing and approving of the work
of congress and declaring ito change
the leadership of the house at this
time means to bring confusion upon
those who have successfully engaged
In steadily working out the great and
comprehensive scheme for the better
ment of our social and civic condi-
tions," was made public today. The
president also declared that such a
change would result in hurtful COL
lation between the extreme radical and
the extreme reactionary. The presi-
dent also said that he hopes the pres
ent congress will enact laws prohibit
Ing political contributions by corpor-
ations, lowering duties on imports
from the Philippines and limiting the
number of hours for railway employees.
OF tariff Roosevelt says: I'VE stand
unequivocally for protective tariff and
we feel that the phenomenal Industrial
prosperity which We are now enjoying
is not lightly to be jeopardized, for it
would be .unwise to secure here and
there small benefit at the cost of
general business depression. But
whenever given rate or schedule be-
comes evidently disadvantageous to the
nation because of changes which 20 on
from year to year in our conditions,
and where it is feasible to change this
rate or schedule without too much dis
location of system, it will be done,
while the general revision of the rates
and schedules will be undertaken
whenever it shall appear to the sober
business sense of our people that, on
the whole, the benefits to be derived
from making such changes will out
weigh the disadvantages, that is, when
revision will do more good than harm.
LefMe add one word of caution, how
evaf. The question of revising the
tarid stands wholly apart from the
itiestioh of dealing with so-called
rr.sts, that Is with the control of
~ ,,opolies and with the supervision of
srsSatt wealth in business. especially in
corporate form. The only way in
which it is possible to deal with those
trusts and monopolies and this great
corporate wealth is by action along
the line of laws enacted by the present
congress and its immediate predecess-
crs. The cry that the problem can
be met by any changes in the tariff
represents, whether consciously or un-
consciously, an effort to divert the pub
lies attention from the only method
o. taking effective action.

IN CONVENTION
Meeting in Arsenal at Spring
field Today to Select Party
Nominees.
MANY AsPIRANTs FOR OFFICE

Annotated Press to The Evening Times.
Springfield, ILL.,, Aug. 21.-The Re-
publican state convention met in this
city today at the state arsenal. The
initial session was occupied with the
opening addresses. appointment of the
necessary committees and other de-
tails preliminary to the chief work Of
the convention. which is to name can
didates for state treasurer and state
superintendent of public instruction.
AS result of the recent state
primary the Cullom forces have the
upperhand in the convention, though
the gathering is not expected to de-
The convention will pass the Cullom
resolutions, declaring him the party's
choice for United States senator to
succeed himself. Hearty Endorsement
will be given the administrations of
President Roosevelt and Governor
Deneen. A large majority of the dele
gates appear to think favorably of the
proposal to indorse Speaker Cannon
as the choice of Illinois for the presi-
dency. In view of Mr.. Cannon's fail
ure to express any sympathy or en-
couragement for the movement, it is
possible that the convention may re-
frain from the proposed Endorsement
in Difference to what is believed to
be the wish of the veteran congress-
man.
Though there are several aspirants
for the two principal places on the
ticket, it Is believed that, in view of
the general spirit of harmony that ap-
pears to hang over the convention, the
nominees will be selected without
great difficulty. John F.. Smulski, the
Cook county candidate, appears to lead
in the race for the nomination for state
treasurer. Francis G. Blair probably
will be named for superintendent of
public instruction. No fight is anti
cipated in the organization of the
state central committee. Chairman
Roy o. West of Chicago is to be re-
named, and Secretary J. A. Wheeler.
who is Yates adherept. will be re-
placed by Cullom man.
This Forenoon.
Before the republican state conven-
ton met today to name the candidates
for state superintendent of public in
struction and three trustees for the
state university, it was considered
that Speaker Joseph G. Cannon would
receive an emphatic endorsement as
the republican candidate for 1908 and
that Shelby NJ. Cullom would be en-
dOrsed for reelection to the United
States senate.
Besides endorsing Speaker Cannon
for the presidency and Senator Gull
lom for reelection. the resolutions, it
was said this forenoon, would give
President Roosevelts administration a
strong endorsement and would warmly
praise the administration of Governor
Dtneen and the services Of the Illinois
congressional delegation.
Before State Chairman Roy o. West
called the convention to order. it was
settled that State Senator o. F. Berry
should be temporary chairman and Ed
ward Shurtleff, speaker of the Illinois
house, permanent chairman. The heat
here today is excessive.

try really was without seeing it. The
acreage of grain this year is larger
than ever before and the crops are
magnificent The wheat and hay was
nearly all cut when he left and 1t was
bumper yield. Wheat brings SIPS
per bushel at the Hudson's Bay mills;
oats sell at $500 per bushel and the
barley, which is the finest in the world,
is worth $1.75 per bushel; barley,
which tests seventy pounds to the
bushel, he said was quite common. At
those prices the farmers were making
money hand over fist" and ranching
was an equally attractive proposition.
