CROP EXPECTED TO
BREAK ALL RECORDS
Government Report on Condl-
tions Very Optimistic.

Washington, Aug. 12.-The aggre-
gate yield of the leading cereal crops
Of the United States will break all
records this year.
The August government report on
crop conditions shows a corn crop of
279,522,000 bushels more than a year
ago, wheat crop exceeding that Of
1911 by 1862 900 bushels, in spite of
the losses in winter wheat, and crop
of oats 2S4,702,OOO bushels larger than
year ago.
In addition to these crop gains,
there was estimated a crop of barley
41,660,0O0 bushels in excess of last
year, and a hay crop that will prob
ably break all records, the estimate
being for 100000 tons, compared to
81, 100000 tons year ago. The total
yield of the five leading cereals prom.
Uses 1895, 100000 bushels, against
4,26S,000,000 bushels last year.
The high cost Of living will receive
q body blow If the present promise
for the crops is maintained until har.
vest, as the extravagant prices which
have prevailed for cereals and meats
generally have been caused by the
comparatively small crops of the last
few years.

ROOSEVELT DECLARES new PARTY
Threatened BY NEGRO PROBLEM
Colonel Convinced Northern ProoresSveS His
Plan Was Only Solution Of Problem.
Finally Had His Way.

In the -ace of this ultimatum the
colonel had his way and he believes
that he succeeded in convincing those
who at first opposed him that it was
the right way.
1T was the only way, absolutely"
Colonel Roosevelt said. If the new
party should win, he continued, many
people would say six months after
election that the plan had failed be-
cause the negro still suffered from in
justices. But in ten years, he said.
they would understand that a step in
advance had been taken and that the
country was on the right way toward
the solution of the whole problem.
Colonel Roosevelt cheerfully ad-
mitted that the Progressive party in
framing it's platform had taken ma
terial from the Democrats.
william Jennings Bryan says you
have taken Democratic IDEAS" he
was told.
I'VE have" he replied with a smile.
I'VE have taken all the Democratic
ideas except those fit for inmates OF
lunatic asylum"

IGNORES PROTESTS
OF GREAT BRITAIN
Canal Bill Likely to Cause Dip.
Iomatlc Trouble.

Washington, Aug. 12.-With lead
ers certain that the house would &C
cept all senate amendments to the
measure and that it would receive
President Taft's approval, the Panama
canal bill became a diplomatic ques
ton.
In it's present forn-and it was be-
lieved that it would become law in
that shape-the bill utterly ignores
the emphatic protests lodged by Great
Britain. Through Counsellor Innes
charge Of the British embassy, the
London foreign Office asked that leg.
islation affecting free tolls of Amer.
lean owned ships be postponed, at the
same time expressing strong disap.
prevail of those provisions.
That they violated the Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty by which America gained
canal rights across the zone was the
contention Great Britain indicated she
would make.
consider the question az diplomatic
one and merely transmitted all the
correspondence in the case to con.
gress, holding the matter legislative
one. The senate's action in passing
the bill with the free tolls and the pro.
hibition against railroad owned ships
and many other stringent provisions.
with every indication that the measure
would be finally enacted into law In
this shape, forecasted early resump
ton of diplomatic interchange be
tween England and the state depart
ment.

|ALDERMANIC CRAFT SCANDAL
PLACES SCORE BEHIND BARS
Additional Arrests in Detroit CdSe---InfOrmd-
ton Said To Be Based On Confessions
More Arrests to Follow.

Detroit, Mich, Aug. 10.-Sensational
developments in the local aldermanic
graft scandal occurred when Prose-
cutting Attorney Shepherd announced
that before night about twenty alder.
men would be placed under arrest on
charges of conspiracy to defraud the
city in connection with their official
positions. The nine aldermen recently
arrested on similar charge are also
included among the twenty new ar
rests.
It is said the arrests are based on
evidence entirely different from that
procured by William J. Burns and his
operatives a few weeks ago, which
led to the arrest of nine aldermen and
the secretary of common council COM
mittees, who now are at liberty on
bail, facing charges of receiving and
conspiring to receive bride money for
giving the Wabash railroad certain
city property for building purposes.

Oyster Fay, N. r, Aug. 12.-How
near the Progressive party came to a
break at it's first national convention
was told by Colonel Roosevelt. The
negro question, he said, created a
breach which for time threatened
to make serious trouble. The disa-
greement, said Colonel Roosevelt, was
due largely to the fact that some of
the Northern delegates who were gen.
timely anxious to help the negro in the
South did not understand how to do it.
They told the colonel that by refus.
Ing to give the blacks in the South
representation he was trea.i them
unfairly and that they could not con.
sent to such action. Colonel Roose-
velt's reply, he said, was to point out
to them the attitude of the negro dele.
gates in the Republican convention
and to say that If they wished to ere.

gressive party they must do it with.

The latest arrests are alleged to h
based on evidence obtained by the
prosecutor covering the city adminfs-
tration for years back.
The prosecutor stated he has
struck many new instances of graft
but he refused to say whether the ev1-
dence was obtained, as 1t hos been
rumored, from confessions made BY
aldermen previously arrested. He de-
ciared several of the aldermen would
be arrested on more than two charges.
The superintendent Of police early
In the forenoon had sent out nearly
every detective on the force to arrest
the aldermen and the prisoners were
at once locked in cells at police head-
quarters.

POTASH FOUND IN

The interest taken by the general
government in the discovery and
development of potash has opened
a new field for mining throughout
the west, which. just now, is po-
tent with great possibilities. The
Railroad Valley Saline company.
Tonopah corporation. which was the
first in the field. seems to be meet
ing with remarkable success in its
preliminary development work about
IS miles southwest OF Ely, and this
has encouraged others When the
subject OF potash was first brought
into prominence by government en-
gineers, the public and the pros
pectors knew practically nothing Of
the subject. but since that time
they have been reading up and post
ing themselves. and il large areas of
potash lands are not soon found II
will not be for lack OF enterprise
on the part of the prospectors.
Recently r. NJ Sylvester of Ely
and F. r. West Of McGll. with
whom other local man are also as
sociated. have discovered potash in
what they are satisfied will prove to
be in commercial quantity in Steptoe
valley. The find was made upon
lands under the control OF the
Western Land and Irrigation com
pany, which had been taken up
under the Carey act. Within 20
inches of the surface of the ground
they have received assay returns of
az per cent potash, which leads
them to believe that with depth
their find will prove Of great value
Their find occurred in a formation
OF volcanic ash and decomposed
granite.
It is the intention of the owners
OF the discovery 60 secure a ehurn
drill for further development work
