Wheat One Billion Bushels.

Grain experts have been estimating
this years possibilities in the wheat
yield in N)rth America. The opti-
mist might say the probabilities be.
cause these estimates are based upon
the latest information from the sever.
al wheat raising sections.
TIE United States winter wheat
states promise to harvest half bill
lion bushels. The spring whea,
country comes forward with the pro.
mise 10 add 3O0milion bushels to the
output, and Canada thinks it will be
no great doings if it provides the
other 200 millions. This total makes
the anticipated billion bushels.
Q When it is considered that the
wheat market is perpetual, trades
based upon probable values Of whea t
next December being already record
ed it will be understood that these
figures are not the whimsical guess
Of irresponsible theorists but the
careful conclusions OF men who buy
and sell wheat for their living. If
these estimates are 100000, 900 bus
hels above the real yield, prices will
be ten per cent too low. so far as this
continent reflects values.
If next months weather conditions
are favorable, the estimate of these
experts will increase, and brices for
futures will 90 lower. If bad wheat
weather follows, the experts will re.
wise their figures downward and pri-.
ces will advance.
But a billion bushels CT wheat in
North America will be unprecedented

Free Raw Wool Advocates Offer Amendments to
 Original Bill
WINS
 COMPLETE VICTORY
Text of Proposed Revision Is Fully Explained By Underwood-Cau- GUS Is Center of Interest
 in Washington

Washington, June 1.-The proposed democratic revision of the wool tariff the Underwood bill-was unanimously midnight. 12 hours after 1t had been made public by the ways and means committee. It's indorsement followed some rapid maneuvering by the democratic House leaders, who devised scheme which eff fectively disposed of the opposition of the free wool advocates.
 Through resolution which leaves the democratic party open in the future to renew it's advocacy of free trade in raw wool. but which commits all democrats to the support of the present bill as a revenue measure, the divergent interests were brought together in the caucus shortly before midnight and almost unanimously an agreement was reached.
 The final vote on the approval of the Underwood bill was made unanimous, but the following members were excused from Representatives Fucker of Colorado, Ash brook, Francis and Sharp, Ohio. and Gray of Indiana.
 The resolution agreed on in a confer- ence of the free raw wool advocates was introduced in the caucus by Represent tative Kitchin of North Carolina, who had advocated free raw wool.
 His resolution declared the support of a duty on raw wool should not be con strued as an amendment of the demo- cratic policy of free wool. The need for a duty, the resolution stated was due to republican extravagances, which made necessary large revenue. Speaker Clark took the floor immediately and supported the resolution which had been framed in the conference participated in by him. self and Representatives Burleson of Tex as, James of Kentucky, Fitzgerald of New York and Kitchin of North Caro- lima. The resolution was then unanimous |lv adopted by the caucus.

FIR[MEN STILL
 UNRECONC|LED

Washington, June 1.--An amicable ad- iustment has been reached between the representatives of the carmen, boiler makers, blacksmiths and sheet metal workers of the Southern railway and al- lied lines. according to a statement is- sued tonight by the American Federation of Labor. The machinsts are to receive from 112 to 3 cents per hour advance, there being a general adjustment of wages in this craft. The carmen are to receive a 2-cent an hour advance flat. The boilermakers, blacksmiths and sheet metal workers are to receive approxi- mately tie same increase. This settle ment affects about 5000 men and it is said the advanced scale will apply, as 1t has done heretofore to the Seaboard Air Line Atlantic Coast Line, Norfolk and Western and Chesapeake and Ohio. with 5000 additional men. The approxi- mate advance in wages is over $1, 900, 900 per year, with bettered working condi- tions In addition thereto.
 After another day of conferences be- tween officials of the Southern railway the company's firemen and the mediators prospects for an agreement seem to be no brighter than they were when it was first decided to attempt settlement oi the firemen's demands by mediation. Con- ferences will continue tomorrow.

 Turin, a distance of 391 miles. Garros unfortunately is In bad physical con dition The wercking of his aeroplane near Pisa yesterday resulted in quite serious injuries to the aviator but at 1o:30 o'clock this morning he pluckily c,ambered into the seat of new ma chine and swept away along the Med iterranean coast at fine speed for Rome. Great crowds had gathered to witness his coming. but Garros almost collapsed when he landed. He said he felt very i'll and could scarcely walk. 1t was necessary to help him to the commit ,ee room.
 Garros explained he suffered greatly from his fall His right shoulder had been injured and the hurt was aggra- tated by the exertion of today's flight. It was apparent he was suffering acute pain.
 Beaumont hearing of his arrival, rushed to greet him. The vast crowd burst into cheers when the friendly rivals appeared on the balcony grasping hands. It is probable that Beaumont will start on the last leg of the journey before Garros, who If he continues tomorrow, will do so only by req son of sheer grit. r
 Frey, the German representative, who a'~c was injured by the wrecking of his machine near Pisa, still is awaiting a new machine there.
 vidart succeeded in making an excel lent flight from Nice to Genoa in a little more than three hours. From the latter place he flew directly to Pisa and report ing, continued toward Rome, but was compelled to land at Cecina, about 35 miles from Pisa. In making the land- ing the left .wing of his aeroplane was broken, but he escaped and hopes to make repairs and start tomorrow morn ling. .4
 Kimmerling, after a long list of mis. fortunes left Brignoles for Nice this evening. but almost immediately collided with a tree The machine was damaged with fresh mishap he would abandon the race,
 Bathiat arrived tonight at Lyons, hav- ing been delayed by another breakdown. Lieutenant Lucca of the French army, who, under orders from the minister of war, was accompanying the contestants on the first stage of the flight, was forced | to land at Hyeres, in southern France, owing to a thick fog.

 Sir Edward believed the world was at the beginning of a new departure and that progress was assured by American initiative. He concluded by eulogizing MT. Carnegie's efforts in the cause Of peace.
 MT. Carnegie, in response, said the req son arbitration failed to produce the de- sired results was because honor was the most dishonored word in the English language. It was not war which was our greatest curse and enemy; it was the everlasting danger of war.
