ports of an approaching crisis in Mex
leo were received here today by high
government officials. 1t is authorita-
lively stated that the developments of
the coming two weeks are regarded
al fraught with tremendous import

delicate is the information contained

the affair only became known with
the stipulation that it be unofficially
and not represented as the view of
any official of the United States gov

probably would p%recipitate the very
crisis which the dispatches forecast.

making any naval or military pre-
parations. Meanwhile the admins
tration Is marking time until the ar
rival of Ambassador Henry Lane
Wilson. At the request of Secretary

A RAIN FALLS
IN QUINN VICINITY

Quinn, S. D.-This locality was
soaked by a heavy local rain this
morning. Nearly an inch of rain fell
at Quinn in twenty minutes, com
mencing at GAS a. m. Another storm
followed at 1920 O'Clock and over
a Quarter of an inch fell within half
an hour. There was some email hail,
but not enough to do any damage.
The strip of country getting this
good rain was extended about three
miles east of Quinn and to Wall on
the west and from fourteen to sixteen.
miles northeast of town and to twelve
or fifteen miles southwest. Corn is
waist high and there are many fine
fields in this particular locality.
Small grain was suffering for mois-
ture and most of the fields showed a
fair stand, but short straw. A number
of farmers, however, state that the
grain is heading out quite we'll, even
before this rain. Today's rains are
worth many hundreds of dollars to
our farmers in this vicinity, A good,
large, heavy general rain is what is
badly needed throughout this end of
the county.

Homer Cannon and William Greser,
from Lyman county are in the hospi-
tai in this city suffering from an
thrax and are in a serious condi-
ton. They evidently contracted the
disease from, handling cattle which
died in a herd n northern Lyman
county, taken there from the vicinity
of Vivian. Several head of the cattle
died. and it isthought that the di-
sease may have been communicated
to the men by flies, as most of them
handled he dead cattle. State Veter-
marian Barber visited the herd and
found the residents of that vicinity
busy vaccinating and burning all the
%carcasses of the dead animals. He re-
that there is no danger of
spread of the disease if proper pre-
cautions are taken.

Mr.. Bryan's Proposal.
AS a new feature OF the treaty,
however, the secretary of state pro.
poses that language similar if not
identical with the so called "Platt
amendment" relating to Cuba be
injected into the treaty, giving the
United States sweeping control of
Nicaraguan affairs and the power to
regulate foreign relations and her
finances. Under the proposed plan
Nicaragua would agree in substance:
THAT war should not be declared
without the consent of the United
States.
That treaties would not be made
with foreign governments that would
tend to destroy her independence or
would give those governments a foot
hold in the republic.
THAT no public debt would be
contracted beyond the ordinary res
ources of the government, as indi-
Gated by the ordinary

have the right to intervene at any
pendence or to protect life or prop

canal across Nicaragua and should
have a ninety-nine year lease to a
naval harbor in the bay of Benseca
and to the Great Corn and Little

the privilege of renewing the lease.
The United States in return would
pay Nicaragua $4,000 900, to be used

Erred.

Washington, d. C.-Plans for the
extension, improvement and reduc-
ton In rates of the parcel post were
announced late Saturday by Post
master General Burleson, The
changes. which are to become eff
fective on August Is. include an in
e from IL pounds to 20 pounds

and the abandonment of the parcel
post map as a means of computing
rates and the substitution for 1t of
a rate chart indfvidualized to every
p~astoffice in the United States. The
plans contemplate the purchase OF
9 large number of automobiles to be
use exclusively for the delivery Of
parcel post matter.
While, for the present, the maxi
mum weight limit of twenty pounds
and the reduction in rates will apply
only to the first and second zones,

of about $50 miles-the changes di-
rected today constitute the first long
step towards a universal extension

that eventually-and ii may be ff-
teen or twenty years-the postal
