purchasers of flour at higher prices,

wheat were also advanced. The Of
fetal Russian estimate of this years
crop shows the total to be as alrge
as that OF year ago. which would
be 132,000,000 bushels larger than
eArfy estimate. This accounts for the
surprisingly heavy Russian shipments
SO far this year. and indicates that
Russia can supply as much wheat as
last year, or say 225,0O0,000 bushels
instead Of 10000, 900 bushels with
which she has heretofore been cred
tied There was more or less buying
of wheat today on the continued talk
OF dry weather in the southwest. We
cannot sympathize with any move
nent to bull the crop of wheat just
put in the ground, when we cannot
sell what we have in sight. Good
spring rains will Offset the present
deficiency and in the meantime the
plant is being well rooted. which will
prevent a lot of winter killing talk
New York reported a few scattered
loads of winter wheat worked to the
continent, but there cannot be said to
be any general demand and the de-
mand from millers continues poor. We
consider the advance today unwar-
ranted by any legitimate factors sur
rounding the general situation.

Macao was settled by Portuguese
merchants in the latter part of the
sixteenth century, and long was a
fiourishing port. After the cession of
Hong Kong. the British trade of Macao
declined rapidly. The city was sub
sequently coded to Portugal by China.
Gradually the Portuguese extended
their rule over the whole island OF
Macao. China objected to this ex-
tension Of territory, and insisting that
the only concession ever given to Por-
tugal was limited to the city OF Macao
has frequently clashed with the Lis
bon government over their respective
rights. Continued diplomatic nego-

just. the matter. The city Is now di-
vided into two wards, one inhabitated
by the Chinese, and the other mostly.
by Portuguese, each having its own ad
ministration.
When the Portuguese Monarchy was
overthrown the Portugueses of Macao
petitioned the provisional governor Of
Lisbon to permit the religious orders
to remain undisturbed on the island.

SEEKING TO ENFORCE
A CAR STANDARD TO
Save LIFE AND LIMB

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. THE
hearing on standardizing of railroad
equipments, before the interstate
commerce commission, produced evil
dence that the Pennsylvania railroad
has all of its brakeshafts on the right
hand side, of its cars, whereas 85 per
cent of the total rolling stock in the
United States has it's brakeshafts on
the left-hand side. The consequence
is mutilation and death for thousands
Of brakemen who, on a dark night.
fail to find the brake in its accus-
toned place.
All this was graphically told and
retold by A. H. Hawley, B. of F. and
E.; A. b. Garretson, Q. r. c.; w. G..
Lee, B. of r. T.. and F. T. Hawley,
8. U. of N. A., all officers Of their
respective internationals.
Then arose lawyers for the Penn
sylvania railroad and called upon su-
perintendents and master carbuilders
to take the stand and show that 1t
really made no difference to the
brakemen where the brakes were
located, and that the expense Of such
changes would cost a huge sum of
money-money, the very article that
the railroads lacked at the present
time.
A committee, under instructions
from the interstate commerce COM
| mission, has already made report
as to details of the proposed new
standards. This report the brother
hoods accepted. But the railroads
| and above all the Pennsylvania rail
road, would have none Of It.. They
demanded a FLEXIBLE" standard, one
that would allow Of brakeshafts on
the right or left side, as might be
! most convenient. Ladders, also, were
to come under this flexible stand
| ard, and, according to the proposals
of the Pennsylvania railroad, might
be placed either on the ends or the
sides of the freight cars.
"Brakeman have told me-" un-
blushingly asserted Master Carbuild-
er Kline, of the Pennsylvania rail-
| road, that they could always tell the
car of any railroad, even in the dark
! Questioned on this astonishing
! statement, by members of the com.
| mission, as to the supernatural sense
of men who could recognize Pennsyl.
vania freight cars in the dark, Mr.
Kline said that he did not understand
it himself, but he believed it to be
a fact.
Continuing the cross ss-examination
! Kline was asked if he thought the
interstate commerce commission
should make standards in conforma-
tion with this kind Of testimony. Tc

B0|LERMAKERS' GRIT
BACKS STRUGGLE FOR
BOILER INSPECTION

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 1.-THE
fight for the passage of the federal
locomotive boiler inspection bill,
which comes up at the approaching
session of congress, is being unceas-
ingly waged by the Brotherhood of
Boiler Makers, Iron Ship Builders and
Helpers whose international president,
J. A. Franklin, has just had a two
days conference in this city with
members of the railroad brotherhoods
active in support of the bill at the
last session.
OF all the pending labor measures,
this bill is the most feared and most
hated by the railroad corporations
who have maintained a large lobby
of lawyers and private detectives to
throttle the efforts of the trainmen
III obtaining this life-saving law. At
every hearing Of the bill this railroad
lobby has packed the committee room,
attacking the witnesses who appeared
for the measure, either directly a. ~
their characters or by inuendo as to
their qualifications as expert me-
chanics.
One witness in particular. H. S.
Jeffrey, a consulting engineer and
an expert on boiler construction, was
90 wantonly attacked that he has en-
ployed the attorneys for the American
Federation of Labor to bring suit ;,r
him against the Louisville & Nash
Vile Railroad company for 100000
damages.
To cut down the operating expenses
without regard to the safety of their
employees or the public seems to be
the sole object of the railroad cor

FLOOD ISLANDS WITH
ASSISTED LABOR TO
HELP SUGAR TRUST

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 7.-Reports
from Honolulu state that the natives
are greatly excited over the action Of
the Republican territorial convention
which has voted to continue the tax
for assisted immigration demanded
by the representatives of the sugar
trust. -
The cry from the Hawaiians is
that they are being robbed of oppor-
tuntty to work by the plantation own
ers who seek to keep a great surplus
OF labor on the islands and in this
way hire workmen at their own price.
Prince Kuhia Kalanianaole has
been nominated for congress by this
convention and the native workers
denounce him as having betrayed his
own people by flooding the country
with "assisted"' laborers who, through
the scarcity of steady work, will be
compelled to toll for starvation wages,
thereby dragging all labor down with
them. >
But a short time ago there were
over 10000 Japanese in the Hawaii
an Islands. Before they came Chin
ese were imported. The latest labor.
sugar plantations are the Russians.
All these various nationalities have
been dumped on to the islands where
a native population already existed in
sufficient numbers to perform all the
work necessary. -
Whether the shreds of political
power remaining in the hands of the
native Hawaiians will serve to oust
Prince Kuhia at the polls IS doubtful
and as the great mass of foreigners
on the islands continues to increase
it is, prophesied in Honolulu. that the
natives win soon be exterminated ~
starvation and it's accompanying di-
seases. - -. t..sG1 s'.@E.e
Attempts to organize labor in the
islands have been met with Jail sem

list for their most active supporters
