The storm which struck Fargo this
morning seems to have played con-
siderable havoc with the telegraph
wires in various parts Of the state.
The Western Union Telegraph Co. re-
ported this morning that communities
tion had been disconnected west of
Jamestown, between the Stutsman
county seat and Medina. where between
fifteen and twenty poles were carried
down in the storms sweep.
The Western Union wire chief also
reported that there was considerable
damage done the company's wires
along the Casselton line. between that
point and Larimore. other than the
damage done along these branches
there has been no trouble reported.
Everything is said to be in good con-
dition along the Great Northern
branch OF the company's lines.
The Northwestern. telephone wire
chief reported trouble in much the
same localities where the telegraph
wires were damaged. In the vicinity
OF jamestown and Valley City there
were several poles taken down by the
storm, which stopped communication
for some time today.
I In the vicinity OF Tower City the
Northwestern telephone wires were
swept to earth by the storm also, which
was in the same neighborhood with
the damaged Western Union lines
The damages OF both telegraph and
telephone lines indicates where the
storm struck hardest. The telephone
company does not report any serious
damage here In the city other than
what would be naturally expected from
such a heavy rainfall and wind storm.
1t blew quite strong In Fargo about
10 o'clock. and there was heavy rain.
but It was evident that Fargo was on
the edge OF the big blow.

Chicago, Aug. 15.-Wheat bulls at

there were few speculative shorts in
the market; that the bad crop news
from the Canadian northwest and from

some Of them put 1t, the market had
been overbought. While about ali OF

Evening Grain letter.

Chicago, Aug. 15.--Wheat: The
market opened weak and ruled easier
in tone all day although fair rally
from the low point took place. North
western markets were lower early. but
rallied on the reports of rain in Canada
and cooler weather. The cash demand
was lacking, both for milling and ex-
port, although some large sales were
reported from this market which lack
confirmation. The market is still a
narrow one, for lack of outside inter-
est and while we do not favor the
short side we would advise caution In
buying, and do so only on the weak
spots. Bartlett, Frazier Co..

The department believed that with the establishment of service on trains Nos. and the bulk O: mail carried on Trains No. 1 and was reduced to such an extent that full rail- way postoffice cars were no longer needed and the department was not justified in paying for them at the rate of SSI63 a year. Thirty-foot apartment cars were thought to afford all the facilities neces- sary for the distribution of everything but Birmingham city mail, and the di- vision of Birmingham city mail between the two trains also reduced the amount on each to an extent that seemed to make it's distribution in the cars at an expense of $22G0 per annum unnecessary.
 The department. however reconsidered it's action at MT. Underwood's suggestion.

 The bill as amended is claimed to be one of the best commission bills ever drawn for any city.
 There are no changes today in the situation with regard to the appoint ments which will probably be made by the governor. Mayor Exum is pro vided for in the bill. Judge Lane is practically sure of appointment, and Harry. Jones Is still regarded as the most likely choice for the third place.

Killed Direct Election

Another important recent action of the Senate was the defeat of the resolution embodying a proposed amendment to the constitution of the United States to pro- vide for the direct election of senators by the people.
 This resolution received more than a majority of the Senate, but 1t needed a two-thirds vote and fell short by only four Had the Senate passed it. the House almost certainly would have done
 so. The friends of this proposition enter tain little doubt that it will pass the
 next Congress and go to the states for ratification or defect. The output of this session in the way of general measures consists chiefly of the
 arpropriation bills. and several of those have seemed in danger more than once in the tense situation of the past few dayst when long hours passed away in fili- bustering on one side or the other. Thousands of bills have been introduced and several thousand more came to the closing session as a heritage from the first and second sessions. In all there
 are between 35.0O0 and 45,000 measures be- fore the Congress as 1t tcomes to a close. Failure to enact many laws was not que to lack of raw materiaL
 These are some of the more important
 measures, outside of appropriation bills, that the final session of this Congress en- acted into law: Providing for forest reserves in the southern Appalachian and White noun tains.
 Providing for the inspection of boilers on locomotives. Providing for the purchase or erection of embassies, legations and consular
 buildings abroad.
 An ocean mail bill passed the Senate. but the House did not manifest enough liking for it to send 1t on to the White
 House. .
 Barren as the final session may have been of fruitful legislation, the republican leaders point to the preceding sessions as more fruitful.

 The interval between ,ne last two ses- sions was marked by the political up- heaval registered at the general election of last November, which changed a large republican majority into a still larger democratic majority in the House of Rep resentatives, cut the majority in the Seii- ate almost to the vanishing point and incidentally effected striking changes in the Senate personnel.
 The failure of this session to enact much important legislation has resulted in the practical certainty that the new sixty-second Congress will be called all most immediately in extraordinary ses- sion. especially by reason of the strong desire of President Taft to secure action upon the pending reciprocity agreement with Canada to the consummation to which the contracting parties pledged the utmost efforts of the two governments.
 Maior;fy D;co rrooJ
 In strong contrast with the support which the Taft administration received from the republican majority in the mat ter of legislation in the regular session of 1909-1910 is the fact that at the present session the majority has been anything but united the reciprocity agreement was passed in the House by the aid of large proportion of democratic votes, while in the Senate the rift in the maJor- ity between the 'regnlarss and tht, ,siTi. sursenis iias been m important factor in It's sidetracking and in the consequent summoning of the extra session. To this division in the majority was largely due the most dramatic feature of the previous long session. the protraeted and sensational conflict last spring which
 
 the House generally interpreted as the "overthrow of the speaker and which after bitter fight lasting many hours and including an all-night struggle stopped only just short of the actual un- seating of Speaker Cannon. While the scrimony between regulars and insurgents neither began or ended with the battle ever the rules that was it's most conspic- uous episode and there has been little reace between the factions since in either house.
 In the Senate the most sensational fea- ture of this session was the unavailing effort in which the insurgents were most active to unseat William Lorimer as junior senator from Illinois on the ground of alleged bribery In connection with his election by the legislature of that state in the spring of 1908. The echoes of that battle are still reverberating and its bit terness adds friction to the closing hours of the Senate session.
