the dictator. Zelaya, and exiled him to
Europe. with few millions OF cash, has
blazed up again. Though tonights ad-
vices Indicate it was a short-lived af-
fair, those soldiers of fortune who count
central American eruption in with the
days work. found II a double surprise.
Insiders of american affairs, who
watch the political chessboard from
juntas in Washington, have been expect
ing a revolution, but quite different
one. They were taken back today when
they heard that General Mena. minister
of war to President Diaz. on July 2s
when asked TO resign, had seized the
forts about Managua cut the telegraph
wires, and also taken possession of Gra-
NADIA, the second city OF the republic
with its garrison of 800 soldiers. and
about all the governments ammunition
All this came from Captain Terhone OF
the United States gunboat Annapolis at
San Juan del Sur, the cable station or
the Pacific side,
Later today when the state depa isanent
found the wires up again, and heard from
Minister Wetzel. It was learned that
Chamorro, "the fighting man of the re-
public" had engaged Mena In battle,
and that truce had been declared, with
programme which was TO satisfy every
body and make DR.. Camilo Barbarena of
Granada minister of war IN Mena's place,
and thus compromise the situation.
Another revolution, the insiders say,
has been in preparation for weeks, so
they were much taken aback to learn
that somebody had revolted ahead of
them. Those who knew about IL in Wash
ington say the guns and pills" which
is revolution for bullets. have been for
weeks in a storehouse In an eastern city,
waiting to be shipped away in the cargo
hold OF some gulf tramp labeled "furni-
ture,", or hardware as Is the way In
such enterprises.
Meanwhile the Annapolis Is steaming
mp to Corlnto. which by rail connects
Managua with the Pacific. She has blue
jackets aboard OF course. There are
Americans in Managua. members of n
commission which has been working foe
months TO straighten out the republic's +
tangled finances. but the state department
mas been assured they will be protected
during the truce.

Rebels Greatly Helped

Washington July 31.-Colonel Steever,
IN command of United States troops ON
the Mexico border, informed the army
department today that Mexican rebels had
greatly augmented their plan of resist
ance by seizng the arms and ammunition
of American Mormon colonists and that
they might become very troublesome by
breathing up INTO small prowling bands.
This war department today telegraphed
$1,000 to Colonel Steever to be expended In
rations for the Mormon refugees from
Mexico. This will be supplemented by
additional amounts as they are required.
The refugees will be given the regular
haversak ration used by the army. bread,
coffee and sugar. Reports to the war de-
partment from f, Paso indicate that ap-
proxinately 2500 persons will have TO be
fed although that many have not yet
arrived.

the two houses become deadlocked over
the other questions.
President Taft was much concerned to-
day over the prospect of delay In the
opening of the canal
In many speeches ne has made since he
became President he has predicted that
the Atlantic and the Pacific would be
Joined at Panama in 1919. and at one time
the President believed he would be able
to steam through the canal on the old bat
tleship oregon when the formal opening
was celebrated during his present term
In the White House. When lie broke
ground at San Francisco last October for
the Panama Pacific exposition he prac-
tieally promised to have the canal ready
next year, spoke of the Oregon as the ship
that should first ceave its waters, and
made 1t clear he would Ike TO be on her
bridge when the trip began.
So far the President has refused to write
special message TO Codngress on the
subject. He told visitors recently that
he did not believe 1t was necessary for
him further to advise Congress of his
position. Within the last few days. how
ever, members of the House have notified
him that they would oppose any legisla-
ton in regard TO the Panama canal that
did not settle all matters involved Sec
retary Stimson has taken issue with the
congressman, but the President has not
made his attitude known 1t was said to-
night he might decide TO send in special
message.

Speedy Action Forecast

Washington, July 31.-The formati
of a democratic-p c-progressive-rep
coalition in the Senate and a tentative
agreement between House and Senate
leaders today resulted in programme
| that will provide speedy action on
pending tariff measures. Agreements
are in sight on the iron and steel re-
vision bill. the wool revision bill and
the excise tax bill. on the sugar tariff
measure an agreement is hardly ex-
pected at this session.
The coalition in the Senate was an
nounced at caucus of the democratic
senators held today. Senator Simmons,
the democratic leader. proposed the fu-
sion and the caucus indorsed the plan
After canyassing the sentiment among
House democrats the Senator framed
a programme which. III lcarried out, will
send to the President the iron and steel
bill minus the provision repeating the
Canadian reciprocity law wool bill
almost identical with the measure
which he vetoed last summer. and the
excise tax bill, minus the Cummins
tariff commission amendment, and with
a provision repeating all of the Can
adian reciprocity law except the pulp
wood and print paper section
Sugar Measure Unsettled
On the sugar bill the democratic
progressive republican combination will
stand by the Bristow Lodge bill passed
by the Senate and as the House dem
ocrats demand q more radical reduction
of the duties than this measure af-
fords the sugar tariff may remain un-
settled when Congress adjourns.
Little trouble is expected on carry
ing out this programme. The democrats
and progressives control the Senate and
it is not expected that the regular re-
publican leaders will attempt to inter-
fere with their plans. The republican
leaders believe the President will veto
the wool bill because it carries d
scheme of ad valorem duties. and the
| steel and iron bill because the tariff
board has not yet reported on this
schedule. If the sugar tariff revision
| fails in Congress the President is ex-
pected to veto the excise tax law
unnecessary.
| Speedy action is expected on the
steel and iron bill. which has been in
conference between the two houses
since June 49, The conference COM
mittee will assemble Friday and un-
less Senators Penrose Lodge and Sim
mons, the Senate conferees. agree TO
the democratic plan to eliminate the
Canadian reciprocity repeal amend
ment from the bill the democratic-pro
gressive republican coalition Will go
into the Senate and demand new con-
ferees. 1t is understood, however, that
the conference will accept the plan.
This disposition of the tarin bills,
| If successfully carried out as planned,
will materially shorten the time neces-
sary for Congress to complete its work

DRY STATES MAY STOP
SHIPMENTS OF LIQUOR

Washington, July 22.-Anti-saloon
interests won a victory before the SEN
ate judiciary committee today when
Senator Cummins was authorized to re
port favorably bill giving dry states
power to intercept shipments of liquor
for "wet' territory. The bill to be
reported is combination of the Ken
yon bill, much amended, and Senator
Sanders bill.
The new measure will prohibit ship
ments of liquor where one person inter
ested in them intends to violate law
of the state into which the shipment is
made. 1t would revise the existing
Wilson law to meet the recent decision
of the supreme court and make liquor
interests commerce subject to the laws
of single state on arrival within its
boundaries and before delivery to a
consignee.
Some members of the committee
think the bill is unconstitutional.

CONDITIONS IN NEBRASKA

Omaha, Neb., July 22.-Nebraska is
now harvesting an average crop of
wheat which will total about fifty mi
lion bushels. Iowa S small grain crop
is also good. In both states the wealth
cr has been favorable to haying and
there will be a larger amount of hay
put up this year than usual. Corn is
doing nicely and there is splendid
prospect for a good average crop. With
favorable weather conditions from
now on there will be an abundance of
feed for stock this fall. AS result
feeding operations will be very eXten-
sive especially in Nebraska and Iowa
The dry summer last year followed
by the most severe winter in many
years forced farmers in large part
of the corn growing states to market
thousands of young cattle which other
wise would be pastured this year for
dry lot feeding this fall and winter
Consequently good supply of feed
iHiS year VIII Hhu ieeuiHS ulslIlcbS
extremely short of cattle and prospect
i've feeders will have to draw on the
markets heavier than usual for their
feeders.
Last year farmers and feeders bought
at South Omaha alone half a million
feeding cattle and one and a half mil
lions of sheep and lambs. Present con
ditions justify the prediction that the
demand will be much greater this fall
with prices averaging considerably
higher
The west is short nearly 15,000,0O0
cattle as compared to five years ago
and cattle will continue high until a
good part of this shortage is made up,
There is nothing to fear in this situa-
ton, however, as it will adjust itself
later on. And we will have to pay Il
little more for our steaks meanwhile.
When there is profit in the cattle
business the beef will be grown and
farmers all over the country are now
starting in to save their heifers and
cows with a view to raising more cat
tie. So that in four or five years we
will again see lots of cattle in the
country. The west will continue to
furnish the big end of the beef and
mutton supply, and with its rapid de-
velopment by means of irrigation, the
favorable results of which are now ap
parent in nearly all our western States
and the steadily improving methods Of
agriculture which are being pursued,
the west will grow more feed and pre-
duce more cattle and sheep than ever
before

A REPLY TO THE CALL"

Mr.. Charles II. Belts, for many years
editor of the Republican of Lyons, in
this state, and an alert able, and thor
oughly Independent member of the re
publican party, who has not hitherto
been unfriendly to the ex-president,
sent by telegraph to the colonel at
Oyster bay this weeek a response, to
the call for third party convention.
This reply may be taken to indicate
the present political feelings of many
republicans of Mr.. Belts environment,
and, indeed, throughout the state. 1t
is also apt, pointed, and thoroughly
relevant, and will doubtless exactly
meet the views of many readers of tn ,
New York Times.
Lyons, N. Y, July s, 1912.
"Col. Theodore Roosevelt, Oyster Bag,

newspapers that you are looking for a
paramount issue for your third party

which your millionaire friends and the
steel trust, the harvester trust, and
several other trust magnates, indicted
by the Taft administration, are re-
ported to have squandered $3,OO0,OOO

lican ticket.
''You could, with your matchless
versatility, easily explain to the public
how all this trust tainted money was
honestly expended to debauch the elec-
torate, just to give emphasis to the
cause of reform and to vindicate the

The colonel, however, having pro-
vided for good crops this year, expelled
Lorimer from the senate, and won 12O
