Unprecedented Volume of Shipments
Reach Western Tidewater.

Seattle, Wash. Oct. 20.-The move
ment of wheat from the interior to
tidewater points on the North Pacific
coast is unprecedented. With scarce
ly two months of the new season

to 100000 bushels of wheat, or ap-
proximately one-third of the North

NO EXPLANATION
OF MOVE GIVEN
Steel Corporation to Cancel
Lease of Ore Lands.
STOCK SHOWS AN ADVANCE

Wall Street Apparently Believes Po-
sition of Corporation Is Strength
ened by Abrogation of Contract.
Great Northern Ore Certificates De-
cline Seven Points to Lowest Price
Since 1907.
New York, Oct. 20.-Oflcials of the
United States Steel corporation de
cline to break their silence in regard
to the significance of their decision to
cancel the corporations lease of the
Great Northern ore properties.
Chairman E. H. Gary is in consulta
tion with other officers, but it is said
that the board of directors has not de-
cided definitely on the plan of action
to be pursued by the corporation in
divesting itself of its interest in the
huge ore beds in the north.
In the absence of an officiai explana-
tion Wall street generally came to the
conclusion that the steel corporation s
move was due to it's determination to
avoid the charge of monopolization of
ore lands, or to escape an arrange
ment which had been proved unprofit-
able financially, perhaps to both
causes.
The statement of the commissioner
of corporations, in his recent report to
President Taft that the steel corpora
tion maintained a monopolistic posi-
tion, largely because of its control of
ore holdings and the transportation of
ore, was cited in support of the theory
that the company had determined to
avoid further criticism of this nature.
United States Steel was bought ac-
lively on the stock exchange, In the
belief that the corporations position
under the Sherman law would be
greatly improved by abrogation of the
lease.
Great Northern ore certificates,
which represent the leased property,
We're sold heavily, it being Wall
streets judgment that the company
had a more profitable arrangement
with United States Steel than it would
be able to make following the termina-
tion of the lease when it presumably
will be disposed of in open market
The stock fell points to 40, the low
est price since 1907.

MANY REFUGEES
AT SHANGHAI
Six Crowded Steamers Reach
There From HankOw.
SLAUGHTER OF MANCHUS

Eyewltnesses Tell of Massacre of Hun.

tsekiang Valley, With the Exception
of Several Large Cities, Said to Be
In the Hands of Revolutionists.
Shanghai Oct. 20.--Six packed
steamers arrived here from Hankow
carrying refugees. The steamer Bel.
gravia was occupied exclusively with
foreign passengers, who were given
free accommodations at the direction
of the consuls at Hankow. The ship
was so crowded that many of the pas
sengers slept on the floors of the hold.
Most OF the foreigners were Russians
employed in the tea factories and Bel.
gian ironworkers employed in the steel
works, the Hanyang arsenal and on
the Peking Hankow railway.
The refugees declared that the
whole Yangtse valley from Hankow
to Shanghai is In the hands of the
rebels, with the possible exception OF
one or two of the larger cities, to
which provisional officials have retired
with their available troops. 1t has
been insistently stated here that Kiu
kiang, $50 miles below Hankow, is un
der revolutionary control. This is de
MED, however, by foreign officials and
by the representatives of the Chinese
custom service.
Accounts of the revolutionary at
tack on Wuchang as given by the
refugees emphasize particularly the
massacre of the Manchus in that city
In the slaughter neither age nor sex
was regarded and Ii is doubtful, the
refugees say, whether a single repre-
sentative of the Manchu race was
left alive there. Similar slaughter OF
the Manchus followed in Hankow and
Hanyang when those cities fell.
Arrivals from Hankow report that
500 Manchus were massacred. To
make sure of the identity of their vic
tins, the rebels took advantage of the
slight difference in the Chinese and
Manchu pronunciations.
A Red Cross organization has been
started here. At Hankow and WI
chang Chinese women are serving as
Red Cross volunteers for the first time
in history.
