ing, Eliminating Labor Day.

New York. Sept. u.-Dispatches to
Dun's Review indicate some irr,agu-
larity In trade developments, but on
the whole there is improvement, es-
pecially in jobbing distribution Of fall
and winter merchandise.
Dun's Review tomorrow will say:
Bank exchanges for the five business
days of this week, ending Thursday,
are $1,Ss9, ,239,O41. The average is near
ly as high as in the preceding week,
and for the first ten days of Sep
tember is IA per cent larger than
year ago, but III per cent less than
in the corresponding time of 1906,
when trade was very active. A heavy
loss shown in the weekly comparison
with both the preceding years is
largely due to the fact that the week
this year includes only five business
days, and Labor day this year was very
generally observed. In both pre,ced-
ing years there was full week. A
noteworthy fact is that bank clearlngs
for September to date are larger than
in any preceding month of this year.
and denote a larger volume of pay
ments thru the banks than in the
earlier months.

$5,500,000 and the assets $4,000, 900. The

ALASKA WHEAT is A FAKE.
Good Thing to Let Alone, Say Mime
anolis Men.

Minneapolis, Sept 11.-Alaska wheat,
trailed to it's lair by a Minneapolis
man, has been pronounced unworthy of
the attention of the farmers of the
northwest who may have become In
terested in it thru it's extensive adver-
tising east and west. o. A. LeWellen,
general agent for the ]. I. Case Thresh-
ing Machine company, is in receipt of
a letter from o. w. Travis, the COM
panys representative, who travels in
the Pacific northwest.
Neither Mr. LeWellen nor Mr.. Travis
has the slightest interest in the Alaska
wheat other than that they are in the
business of selling farm implements
and machinery, are dependent upon
farmers for patronage, and do not wish
to see their patrons take up the new
cereal in expectation of results that.
they feel, cannot be realized.
First interest in the wheat was
aroused by an article in the Saturday
Evening Post some time ago by Oscar
r. G. Day. Of Minneapolis, In which
statements were made that Alaslkan

CATHOLICS HIT ROYAL OATH.
British Delegates Call Accession Vow
Outrage and 6lasphemy.

London. Sept. 11.-Another great
congregation, including dignitaries
Of the Roman Catholic church, priest
and the laity, assembled In Westmin-
ster Cathedral when pontifical high
mass was celebrated at 8 o'clock by
Mgr. Annette, archbishop of Paris.
At the conclusion of the mass there
were three sectional meetings In con-
nection with the international euchar-
ist congress,
The question of the declaration
against Catholicism which a British
sovereign is obliged to make on acces-
sion to the throne was discussed in
Horticultural hall. Lord Llanda6 char
acterized this as outrageous and must
recoil.
The Duke of Norfolk referred to the
royal declaration as a "blasphemous
collection of phrases revolving to every
Catholic ear" and which must be
deeply painful for the sovereign to
utter
The first evening meeting Of the con-
gress bade fair to fulfill the predic-
tion of Cardinal Vannutelli that the
congress will mark an epoch In the
religious life of England" Albert Hall
was crowded and the enthusiasm dis
played exceeded all expectations.
The next congress will be held In
Montreal in 1910.

wheat will yield up to 222 bushels to
the acre and will grade No. Il, hard.
The impression made by the article
was that the world was on the eve OF
revolution with reference to food sup
plies. The wheat, as seed, at fancy
price. was offered by Abraham Adams
of Juliaetta, Idaho, and by local
firm which had an exhibit at the state
fair.
Mr. Travis. in his letter, says that
on one 70O-acre field of this Alaska
wheat, the best yield was 36 bushels,
while club wheat in adjoining fields
went 40 to so bushels to the acre. The
wheat, he says, is well known, has
been known for years. has little value
for flour making, and is great de-
ceiver
Every milling and grain journal In
the country has pronounced Alaska
wheat a fake and the government ex-
perts from Washington have put their
han upon it. The, letter from MI
Travis to Mr.. Lewellen is the indorse-
ment Of these adverse opinions by
practical Minneapolis men.

yesterday.The accused man summoned
sixty witnesses, from Premier Clemen-
ceau and Minister Of War Picquart to
Col. Du Patty de Clam, in an effort to
revive the Dreyfus affair. The attempt,
however. Is certain to prove abJftive,
as both the public and the government
are opposed to reopening the question
A large crowd was present in the
court room, and the woman in white"
who was CONSPICUOUS thruout the trial
of Dreyfus at Rennes occupied a
prominent place.
The efforts of the defense to rake up
the Dreyfus case eliminated in dra-
matte incident. Gregori was attempt
ing to question Major LIE Brun Re-
Dreyfus was alleged to have made to
him. Dreyfus sprang to his feet, and,
with white face and trembling vio-
lently, shouted to Gregori's counsel:
"Sir, an appeal to the court estab-
lished in the most decided manner my
innocence"
Immediately q tremendous uproar
broke out and mingled cheers and
groans shook the room. Finally the
president was obliged to clear the
court before semblance of order was
restored.
