that everything is quiet there and that
ore is being mined at several mines
Stripping operations are also proceed
ing.
At all the mines deputies armed
with long-range rifles occupy advan--
tageous positions. The men who are
at work are assured OF ample protec-

tions of any nature.
AT Eleveth the companies are APP
parently awaiting the outcome of the
action at Hbbing. None of the mines
there opened this morning. On the
whole range the people are much
pleased with the situation and are

Authorities Predict Continue
tion and Even Increase of
Present Prosperity
MONEY SCARCITY NOT SERIOUS
This Very strinsency, Leading Neg
ative Feature of the Situation, Is
Quoted as an Evidence of Business
Activity May Be Temporary
Check to New Enterprises.

New York July 29-The Times to-
day publishes opinions of score or
more of editors of trade publications
on the actual trade conditions and OUT
look. The opinions are almost unan-
imously optimistic. Trade authorities,
arguing from the present conditions
and tendencies, see in the outlook
continuation and even increase of the
prosperity which the country is at
present enjoying. 1t is pointed out as
one of the negative features in the
situation that there is d scarcity Of
money in the markets, but this very
lack of money is quoted as an evil
dence of business activity. For a mo-
ment. it is believed, this stringency
may act as a check to the develop
ment of new enterprises, but in the
end, it is argued. whatever forces this
money scarcity may exert will be
counteracted by the uniform stability
of the countrys crops and a disin-
clination on the part of business to
decline from it's present standard of
activity.

OBSTACLE IS REMOVED
France Extends Decree Providing COL

Brought in From Porto Rico, as Act
Of Courtesy to United States.

Paris, July 29.-What has been char
acterized as an obstacle in the way OF
continuation of the negotiations be-
tween France and the United States
in regard to tariff, has been removed,
for France has notified the United
States that she has extended from
August 1 to October l, the decree pro-
viding for the collection Of minimum
duty on coffee brought III from Porto
Rico. France makes clear that she
considers this extention not a right
which the United States can claim,
but purely an act Of courtesy and good
will on her, part, and evidence of her
earnest hope. that the pending nego-
tiations will result in an agreement.

this S, < stion on the trip to dedicate
the 3 ments to the Iowa soldiers
who On southern battlefields. Since
that - General Weaver says he has
recei many letters from prominent
negroes endorsing the suggestion and
promising support to it.
General Weaver is opposed to forci-
bic deportation such as has been ad-
vocated by Mr. Dixon the author of
The Leopard's Spots" and some other
works on the negro problem. He be-
lieves that the negroes should, how
ever be given chance by themselves
to make a. ation. In his address on the
trip south he touched on the subject
but lightly. In his chautauqua ad-
dress he goes into it more thoroughly
and answers the objections that have
been advanced and discusses the Lii
IBERIA project and other schemes. He
believes that in colonization the negroes
themselves will readily become inter-
ested and give their support.
There are prospects Of very in-
teresting fight on the question of pas
senger rates between the NJ. & st. l.
and the interurban on the rate from
Perry to Des Moines and return. The
interurbans have been getting the
lions share of the passenger business
wherever Shey are in competition with
the steam roads, because they charge
less. Under the old rate Of cents
for the maximum for the steam roads
the interurbans charged 2. Now under
the 2-cent fare rate they charge less
than 2 cents.
From Perry to Des Moines the in
terurban and the M. &, st. l.. are in
competition. and the NJ. & st. L., tC
meet the competition, has been max
ing an excursion rate to Des Moines
and return from Perry of s1.26, good
for thirty days. Ordinarily under the
law neither a steam or interurbar
road can charge less rate over part
of it's line than it charges over all
and to reduce the rate from Perry to
Des MoinesS to the interurban rate
would necessitate a reduction all over
the NJ. & st. l. system. 1t has
adopted the thirty-day excursion rate
as subterfuge, according to the IN
terurban people.
The interurban has stood it about
as long as 1T will. It is hinted from
close sources that it is about to start
action before the railroad commission
or the courts to make the Steam road
reduce it's rates all over the system to
the basis of it's Perry-Des Moines rate
If the NJ. & st. l. can maintain its
excursion rate to Des Moines from
Perry without reducing it's rates be-
tween other points with the sanction
of the courts it will be big blow
to the interurbans. for that has been
their stock in trade in the competition
with the steam roads.
incidentally it is claimed that the
NJ. & St L. is figuring its rate to Des
Moines at one mile less distance thar
actually exists. which also may be 8
factor in the contention.
