ST. PETERSBURG, July 14.-Rus,

tiers here and branches in Moscow
ODESSA, Kieff and other large towns
Called the Suicides league, it has. nc
fixed abode, no charter and few rules.
All members are sworn to secrecy !;
But one or two, who took fright, left
it and, told friends a thing or two.
The club had a large and aristocatric
membership, including titled people
and society bellies, mothers Of fal1i-
lies, old men, middle-aged rakes-
and many young people Social gath
erings are held weekly, in members
houses. The theme of conversation
must be suicide, and prizes are given
for the best suggestions for self.mur.
Ter.
The police, who have made several
vain tries to catch the club at settings,
say that a dozen suicides day arc
the average for ST. Petersburg, and
think the league has something to- DO
with it. But the league has just pub
ltshed a denial, saying, Eve are not
responsible for these vulgar suicides.
Our members are forbidden to take
their lives for reasons of jealousy

TO SAIL ON :.
AUG. Is

IL. O.
WASHINGTON, d. c., July 80. -
Secretary Fisher expects Congress to
adjourn in time for him to reach San
Francisco so as to sail for Hawaii on
the steamer Of August 3d.
The term of Governor Frear of Ha-
waii expired over a year ago, and the
President. has determined not to ap-
point Governor of Hawaii until Sec
retary Fisher can visit the islands
and make a report on conditions
there. The information which has
reached the President is conflicting
and the President is insistent that he
shall receive at first hand the report
of Secretary Fisher as to the actual
state of affairs upon the island.
The secretary : has been planning
for some time to make the trip to the
islands to investigate the merits OF
the fight being waged against Gov
ernor Frear, but, owing to the import
ance of his department in matters of
legislation, it has been impossible for
him to leave Washington as long as
the two houses are in session.
Anticipating an early adjournment
of Congress, Secretary Fisher re-
served passage for Hawaii upon the
steamer sailing August 10th, but has
been forced to cancel his reservation.

ALBERTA FARMERS
EXPECT TO PROFIT
BY PANAMA CANAL
VIII Send Grain TO Liverpool by
.as Water Route

CALGARY, Can, July 20.-The ben
Gifts that Will accrue to all western
Canada through the opening Of the
Panama canal are numerous. But no
province will profit more than will Al
berta. She will be plucked from an
inferior market position and. placed
level with the other Agricultural Prov
inees. To her the canal win be worth
millions yearly, considering the wheat
crop alone. Last year, from this
source, it would have turned full
So, 600, 700 into the pockets of the Al-
berta farmer. And less than a tenth
of the arabic lands of the province are
under cultivation.
At present the Alberta farmer is at
something of a disadvantage in mar
keting his grain crops. The Liverpool
market sets the price of the worlds
wheat. Wheat at the initial elevator
is worth the Liverpool price less the
cost of getting the grain to that mar
ket, irrespective Of whether the grain
goes to the English market or else
where. At times local conditions
make difference, but in Canada,
where there is a large excess for ex-
port, the price is practically always
set by Liverpool.

The Portuguese residents Of the Ha-

In the probable visit OF Secretary
Fisher to the islands, and Judging by
an editorial appearing in A Setta" OF

The editorial is as follows:
The long delayed, long expected
and very welcomed Fisher is now
scheduled with certainty, to arrive in
the near future. or course it is fore
going conclusion that the result of his
Investigation will not acect Frear's
reappointment in the least. But he
will, be given a few administration
nuts to crack which we hope he will
deyour with some relish. The most
interesting ones will be relative to
demonstrating.
