INTERNAL
 COMMERCE Month of May Shows an
 Improvement
Though It is Still Behind the Corresponding Month of Last Year.

Washington, July Achievements of internal commerce during May. as reported to the bureau of statistics of the department of commerce and labor, show considerably heavier live stock movements than last year. There is also slight but steady improvement in the freight car sit uation, the improvement appearing to be more or less uniform in the various portions of the country.
 Grain, lumber and coal while still below the May, 1907. figures in vol ume, show a marked percentage of Improvement over the preceding months of the current year.
 Livestock receipts at seven interior primary markets during May, 3,232,- O66 head, show a slight decrease compared with like figures for the corresponding months of 1907 and 1906, 3,292, ,SO9 and 3,390,9S5 head; the decreases being due mainly to cattle and horses and mules, while hogs and sheep showed material increases. Receipts of all kinds of livestock for the first five months of the year, 17,561,S32 head, is considerably in excess of the 1907 and 1906 figures of 16,S5O,2O9 and 16,744.9SS head, re spectively. The increased receipts for the season of five months are shown in the case of hogs, while the other classes of animals show a slight decline.
 May grain receipts at fifteen pri- mary markets, 44,153.942 bushels, while slightly above the April re- haI MoH figures of 1907 and 1906 of 57,S21,- G66 and ,47.S69,293 bushels, respect lively, the decrease being due mainly to Duluth, Minneapolis, and St. Louis, while Omaha shows a decided in crease over May, 1907. The total grain receipts constitute 11,476,270 bushels of wheat, 15,669,910 bushels of corn, 14,167,S45 bushels of oats, 2.5I4,S97 bushels of barley, and 325, O2O bushels of rye, besides 7S0,4 bushels of flaxseed, which, however, do not enter into the above totals. Wheat and corn show gains over last months receipts, while the other ce- reals indicate slight decreases. Grain receipts at the same markets during the nine months of the crop season, beginning September 1, 1907, 593,- S92.430 bushels, were likewise below the corresponding 1906-7 figures of 653, ,729,S57 bushels, all the markets in question, except Indianapolis, Little Rock and Peoria, showing smaller season receipts than a year ago. .
 Stocks of meats at five principal interior markets at the close of the month, 322,OS2,766 pounds, were in excess of like figures at the end of May, 1907 and 1906. Kansas City, Omaha, St. Joseph, and Milwaukee show decreases, while Chicago shows a decided increase in the stocks Os hand as compared with the May fig ureS for last year.
 During the month shipments of packing house products, 176,701 ,439 pounds, while larger than the pre- ceding months shipment, fall below the May, 1907, figures of 9,65S, ,S69 pounds and were S5 per cent below the 1906 totals. Decreases from the figures of 1907 are shown in the case of cured meats, pickled beef,

TRIED 10 WRECK
 THE ROYAL YACHT
A Reported Incident of Edwards Late Voyage to ReVal.

London, July 12.-That somebody tried to wreck King Edwards new royal yacht while it was passing through the Kiel canal on it's way to RevaI where the king met the czar, is the opinion of many people here but it is impossible to get at the facts
 This much is certain however that the utmost reticence is being observed with regard to the loss of one of the prOpellers of the Alexandra" in tlle canal and that some naval officials are inclined to doubt if it was purely an accident.
 There was at the time of the pass age so much bitter feeling against the king in Germany and so little did the people along the canal try to conceal it that the wreckage which caused the damage was placed in the canal pur- posely, but one and all have received a strong hint to keep their mouths shut, and leave it to their superiors to explain the cause of the accident
 It is very significant too the+ against all custom no official inquiry is being conducted into the affair and the yacht is now in dry dock at Portmouth to have new propeller fitted in read mess for the queen to embark OF board for Copenhagen in the middle of next month

KITCHENER
 THE STRICT Persona non Grata to Fnq-

Schemes AfOOt to Keep Him in Service Outside of England.

London, July 12.-There are lot of intrigues going on just now with the object of keeping Lord Kitchener away from this country and sending him on another tour of foreign service when his term in India expires in No- vember next.
 The reason that Lord Kitchener is not wanted here is partly the stern uncompromising way he acted in South Africa during the Boer war which made him very unpopular with many officers of aristocratic families who wanted to treat the war as a pie nic and who were made to toe the mark by the-commander in chief.
 Another even more serious reason is that there is not the slightest doubt that if Lord Kitchener joined the army council at headquarters as he desires to he would bring to light many things that there is the greatest desire of keeping secret and some high officials would have a very uncomfortable time of it.
 The influence of several society To- dies of the first importance has been invoked in order to keep Kitchener that he should be offered the gover- norship of one of the Australian colo nies, but it is almost certain that he would refuse to accept an office where he would be unable to keep in touch with army affairs. He is too much of soldier for that.

DEAD 10 Tilt WORLD
 FOR HALF A CENTURY
The Re1pening After Fifty Years O.
 a Parisian House of Mysteries.

Paris, July 12.-One of the mys- teries of Paris has beet solved ly the death of Ime. de Provigny, which has opened for the first time in more than half q century the house on Boulevard Poissommiere known as the house of mystery.
 For fifty years and more the shut ters of that house were never opened. Servants entered stealthlily and it was known to be inhabited by a recluse of great eccentricity but it's secret was well kept uptil a few days ago, when the place was sud denly dressed in the black and silver trappings of French mourning, and it was announced that it's aged and sorrowful inmate, Mime. de Provigny, was dead.
 She was af old lady of more than seventy and for the last half cen tury she lived in that house the life of an anchorite, without a newspaper or communication of any kind with the outside world. For fifty years Mime. de Provigny wore white satin. She wore it on her wedding day and always dressed in white to the end. Fifty years ago M. de Provigny died. They had been-~married the same morning and the young hus- band succumbed to apopleXy an hour after the ceremony. When she re- covered from the shOck-if indeed she can be said ever to have recov- cred from it-Mme. de Provigny had the house shut up but she retained her servants on the condition that they were never to confront her with Ia living being and never to speak to her again.
 She did not know the trend of public events. Automobiles, electric cars and even railroad trains were unknown to her. She did not know that France was a republic. She had never heard of the Dreyfus case. of the death of Queen Victoria or of any national or international event.
 In her will she left her whole for tune to men and women over sixty and of good character. She left a large house in the country as a home for them and S2,OOO,OOO for it's main tenance.

Though a Week Ago the Editor Preferred AnO- ther Candidate.

Lincoln, July 12.-Mr. Bryan's pleas ure was evident today, though he made no statement when he received a telegram from Herman Ridder say ing. "The Staatz Zeitung may be re lied upon for your sincere and earnest support"
 It was announced that Riders wis it to Lincoln was with the intention of asking Bryan to withdraw because in the editors opinion he could not win. Ridder, however, left in a happy frame of mind with Bryans approval of a free wood pulp plank.
 A conference was held today re- garding the details of Bryans meeting with the committee on Tuesday. but it was said that a chairman had not been selected.
 Fifty Johnson supporters on their way home called at Fairview today and one gave flag with Johnson's name on it to Bryan as a token of surrender
 Congressman Hammond assured Bryan that the fight was over: that the visitors were with him now Bryan has been urged to spend the remainder of the summer at d resort where he will gather strength for the campaign but he much prefers to re- main among his chickens and alfalfa. He is in perfect health and believes he would be prey to autograph fiends at a resort.
 Bryan replied to l. telegram today asking his standing with regard to the confederate veterans. He said he had voted for one for speaker of the house and pointed to many instances where he had shown his friendliness for the south
 It has been stated that the chairman will be one of the following: D. J. Campau of Michigan; J. F. Lamb of Indiana; Ollie James of Kentucky and J. II. Atwood of Kansas. All except Campau are members of the commit tee.

ROYAL BELIEVER
 IN SPIRIIUAuSM
Die Zukunft Publishes a Startling Story Regarding Emperor William.

Berlin, July 12-That the kaiser like formerly Car Nicholas of Russia. is a firm believer in sDiritism and that his policies at least at times have largely been dictated by spirits is the amazing statement by MaXimilian Harden the famous editor of the 'Zukunft" whose revelations started the Prince EulenburR scandal.
 Harden who is absolutely fearless and he has never retracted anything he has said was interviewed the other day and it was then that he made the statement which now since it has been published has aroused such a tre- mendous sensation here that people talk of little else.
 Speaking of the spiritualistic atmos- phere of the Liebenberg "Tafelrunde,' of the numerous seances in which, even the late Kaiser Wilhelm took part, Harden declares that these had a very harmful influence upon the present

kaiser. who has always been inclined towards mysticism.
 For a long time the kaiser always consulted the spirits about matters of state and wore his watch in a piece of cloth which a spirit had left after a seance at Prince Eulenburgs house.
 So far no official notice has been taken of Harden's astonishing state ment but with the sensation it has stirred up it is almost impossible to suppose the kaiser could afford not to deny the allegations made. No one however believes that the daring edi- tor will be arrested as it is known that he possesses knowledge of certain af- fairs which if revealed would scandal ize certain high personages at court

 Alia only awaits the coming of the summons to the scaffold. For a week he absolutely refused food and the prison physician administered milk with pump. Since then he has eaten regularly. He still retains his hatred for the priesthood. He created a dis turbance and raved when a priest came to offer his services.
