possible to prevent renewal Of the ex-
cesses. This confidence is based on
the action of the governor OF Grodno,
who is hated and distrusted by the
bureaucrats, and who, after inves-
tigating the situation at Bialystok,
took the unprecedented step in order
to prevent spread of the massacres
Of telegraphing the authorities Of all
towns within the Jewish pale, denying
the alleged official report that the dis
orders were due to the wanton throw
ing of bombs at Christian procession
by Jewish revolutionists.
This measure, aided by the Catholic
clergy. who on Sunday throughout Rus
sian Poland addressed their congrega-
lions. imploring them not to believe re-
ports spread broadcast for the purpose
of stirring up bloody excuses, was ef-

Emperor Plays Tennis.
The government appears to be wait

its hand, and it is reported that the de-
sign of several ministers to raise the
question of a more active policy during
the cabinet meeting Saturday appar-

the railroad stations are occupied by
troops, but no action has been taken to

Storm Disturbances Promised by
Washington Prosnosticator

The high priced Colorado potatoes
will again be consumed by Iowans
this fall, If the report Of Prof. w. /.
Foster Of Washington, D. G., can be
believed. In his latest bulletin. the
eastern prognosticator says that the
northwestern "spud" crop had a bad

will be in demand. In the matter OF

temperatures will precede and follow

most severe.
Science Notes.
1T was recently announced that
Chief Moore would rely on the Tice
theory of expansions and contractions
Of the great permanent high and low
barometer as the causes of our wealth
er changes. Later it was announced
that Chief Moore would rely on Prof
Langley's theory that the suns heat
varies. Both these theories-the lat
ter as the cause-may be used. Chief
Moore has not yet given out the par
ticulars. All the weather bureau au-
thorities are looking to the sun as the
only cause of our weather fluctuations
and it is now clear that the weather
bureau officials are formulating sys-
tenn of long range weather forecasts
based on these two theories.
"Prof. Tice of st. Louis discovered
the fluctuations of the permanent
barometer as a cause of our weather
changes and Prof. Langley believed
that he found the original cause in
the variations of sun heat. Prof. Bige.

the suns rotation on its axis in about

latter cause our weather changes.

anxieties and woes of the western
wheat producer.
Farmers were comforting themselves
prior to the settlement Of the coal
strike in western states by he belief
that they would be able to draw on
this line of industry for help. But the
men have returned to work in the
mines and that hope has vanished.
New York City and other eastern
centers have been appealed to for aid.
The same dearth of labor exists there.
Thousands of men who might have
been counted on have gone to San
Francisco, attracted by the fancy
prices for common labor said to pre-
vail in the city which is now so ener-
getically rebuilding.
Hope in College Men.
AS in recent years, much store is set
by the sturdy college men. Hundreds
Of them who have worked in the wheat
fields are, coming back this season.
Those of athletic training are hardened
for the most exacting labor, and they
are much sought after by the farmers.
During the cutting and thrashing sea-
son many students will make enough
money to sustain them during half the
college year.
The fiat has gone out unofflcially
that there must be no idle able-bodied
men in Kansas at harvest time. The
loafer who can work will be obliged tc
toll or leave the state. Local authori
ties in cities and towns hitherto have
co-operated with the agriculturists In
enlisting the whole available force fol
field work. They will do so again this
year.

will have comparatively little support,
therefore, when the debate COM
mences on Tuesday or. Wednesday on
the floor Of th- house.
Trying to Secure Unanln1ty.
Representative Ames of Massachu-
sets, who is a defender Of the Presi-
dents beef policy: Representative
Bowie of Alabama, who made a mi
nority report from the agricultural
committee in favor of the Beverage
amendment, and Mr.. Reynolds had
conference this morning.
An effort is being made to obtain
practical unanimity on the part of the
democrats and republicans In favor OF

dents suggestions, but declared he
was willing to accept all the Pres1-
would carry out his intention to offer
an amendment providing that the
whole cost Of service be paid by fees
collected for the inspection of each
animal killed. He expects this amend
ment to be voted down.
The President Is not now insisting
upon system of fees, but Is willing
to accept lump appropriation, pro-
vided it be large enough and the final
measure state that 1t is permanent.
Three million dollars is suggested as
the limit instead of 100000, as pro-
vided for by the committees substi-
tute.
Cannon Yields on Court Review.
Speaker Cannon was at the White
House by appointment last night and
conferred with the President in regard
to the action Of the house. The speak
er is willing to give way on the court
review feature Of the committee sub
stitute, but he insists that the cost of
the inspection be paid by the national
government and not through the pro-
posed system of fees. The Presidents
suggested compromise on an appropri-
alton and fees the speaker will not &C.
cept. He prefers the committees pro-
posal authorizing the use of preserva.

The extent of the alleged gunpowder
graft is estimated by Mr.. Waddell as
aggregating about 100000 annually,
but he warns the members of congress
that the secretary Of war already has
notified them that the government
must accumulate a powder reserve in
