make little impression. The Septem-
Der option slipped under the 90-cent

cents and closed at 80 cents. net loss

Unfavorable crop reports were nu-
merous. but SO much SO as to arouse

genuineness. September ranged from

The Hon. Charles Stewart Rolls.
captain in the London section Of the
army motor reserve, driving Wright
bi-pIane, crossed the English channel
twice Thursday evening without
alighting. He made the round trip be-
tween Dover and Calais in 80 minutes.
Both Peru and Ecuador have agreed
to withdraw the troops mobilizing
on the frontier of the two coun-
tries, preparatory to war on the ques-
ton of their boundary. and will ac-
cept the offer of meditation in the
boundary question by the United
States, Brazil and Argentine.
A London cable says: Tory and
Radical are already at each others
threats as result of the direct
charge made in this weeks Bystand-
err that the Liberal ministry killed the
late King Edward. In every section OF
the country Liberal newspapers are
denouncing the sensational accusa-
ton, while the Unionists are aiding
to make the circulation of the weekly
periodical as widespread as possible
in the various constituencies"
Quite unexpectedly, Tuesday, Theo-
dore Roosevelt delivered what is con-
sidered b. Englishmen as a severe ar
raignment of the nation in its attitude
toward Egypt. He called attention to
the fact that England's object in TAX
ing hold in Egypt was the establish
ment of order. Either you have or
you have not the right to remain in
Egypt and establish and keep order.
II you have not the right and have not
the desire to keep order. then. by all
means, get out. But II. as hope, you
feel that your duty to civilized man
kind and your fealty to your own great
nation alike bid you stay. then make
the fact and the name agree and show
that you are ready to meet in very
deed the responsibility that is yours.
When a people treats assassination as
the cornerstone OF self-government. 1t
forfeits all rights to be treated as wor-
thy of self-government. Some nation
must govern Egypt and hope and be-
lieve that the English nation will de-
eide that the duty is theirs

CONSERVATION
and P.O. BANK
ARE THE ROUTINE OF CONGRESS
SIGNAL ACTION FOR THE
COMING WEEK.
PARTY LINES DISSOLVE
AND INSURGENCY AGAIN IN
TRUDE OVER PUBLIC LANDS
WITHDRAWAL BILL.

Washington. = Conservation legisla-
tion in the senate and the postal saw
ings bank bill in the house constitute
the features of the congressional pro-
gram for the coming week. The gen
eral opinion is that both measures will
be voted upon before Saturday night
and that they will be sent to confer
ence.
Party lines will be dissolved and
new lines OF insurgency developed in
the senate in connection with the pub
Tic land withdrawal bill. which. 1t Is
expected, will be taken up Tuesday.
Some OF the western members are
preparing to make vigorous assaults
upon the Roosevelt Garfield admins
tration Of the public domain, especial
~ as regards the blanket Withdrawals
Of large areas. II is not improbable
that this course will lead to some bit
ter criticism of the more conservative
policies OF the Taft-BalIinger admins
fration.
The discussions will arise over the
consideration of the administration
bill which already has passed the
house, to authorize the President to
withdraw public lands for purposes OF
classification, for the protection of
water sites, for forest reserves. and to
prevent mineral lands from falling in
to the hands of monopolies. Many
western members. notably Senators
Warren and Clark OF Wyoming. Hey
burn and Borah OF Idaho. Carter OF
Montana. and Hughes of Colorado. ex-
press fear that enactment of this mea-
sure would mark the return of the pol
icy of locking up" great tracts of land
and that the western states might be
deprived of the benefits that would
sccrue from their development.

can arrested at Bluefields on a charge
OF laying mines Of explosives for the
insurgents is In danger Of meeting the
fate Of Cannon and Groce. the two
Americans who were put to death
there on a similar charge. is causing
great uneasiness In Washington. Proof
that Madriz is following closely In the
steps OF his predecessor. Zelaya, is con-
tained In Pittmans arrest. and the
state department has acted promptly
in the case.
The expected clash between the
statehood bill and the conservation
measures took place in the Senate Fri
day night Just after the passage OF
the railroad bill. Beveridge and Mel
son disagreed as to proceeding and
Keane forced adjournment. The re-
suit of the vote on adjournment. IS to
25, is taken as Indicating that con-
servation probably will be given the
right of way. Friends Of the state
hood bill are far from optimistic.
