BY Associated Press.

Chicago, May 20, A dispatch to the
Tribune from Washington says there
will be no decrease in the prosperity

panicky conditions in Wall street, if
the administration can prevent. All
the branches of the government. TAX
ing their view from the president, are
acting energetically AMI harmonious
ly to maintain the existing satisfac-
tory state of affairs.
High Euphemism.
The president himself in the speech
he will deliver at Indianapolis next
week will add ress himself toward as
surfing the public as to the value of
railroad securities. and will state en-
phatically that in the matter of rail
road manipulation he proposes to let
bygones be bygOnes, and only endeav-
OF to secure reforms TO prevent con-
tinuance of evil practices.
CorteIyou is Alert.
Secretary Cortelyou is following the
market with the closest attention,
and is prepared to furnish treasury
support should the exigencies require.
Secretary Wilson has sent three eX-
perts to southern Kansas and Okla
homa to investigate the damage done
to the wheat crop. and was prepared
to furnish a parasitical insect to de-
stroy the devastating bug, but such
action is reported to be unnecessary.
The secretary is giving attention al
so to general conditions. and where
ever possible to facilitate the growth
of the crops.
Strauss's Activity.
In the department of commerce and
labor, Secretary Strauss made ar
rangements for increasing immediate
ly after the beginning of the fiscal
year Investigations into trade condi-
lions abroad in order to provide new
markets for American products His
effort is being assisted by Secretary of
State Root, who. now that he has set
tied temporarily the tariff differences
with Germany, is arranging to effect
there permanent disposition in the
treaty of reciprocity which will be
submitted to congress for ratification
the coming session. The secretary
also proposes TO enter into negrotia-
tons with France and China as de-
termination of commercial questions.
Altogether. Washington rarely has
seen such activity in order to con
serve the prosperity of the country.
