SALMON BLOCKS
 COTTON BILL

Washington. August 22.-Canned salmon blocked passage through the Senate of the bill for the establishment of governmental inspection and certifcation of deposits in cotton warehouses.
 To avoid contest Senator Hoke Smith, in charge of the bill, accepted amend ments to extend the same privileges to tobacco and naval stores warehouses
 Senator Lee of Maryland had the bill amended to recognize state tobacco ware house systems. Then Senator Lane of Oregon proposed that it be extended to canned salmon. He urged that the Flu ropean war had developed the same dis tressing conditions for canned salmon as for cotton. tobacco and turpentine.
 Senator Smith suggested there was as much reason for including Boston baked means and Senator Maritime spoke of the need of stimulating the applejack trade of New Jersey. Senator Gronna urged the extension of grain and flax seed
 As the debate proceeded the bare quo- rum present began to dwindle. After several roll calls Vice President Marshall ruled that a quorum could not be pro- cured and with the bill still undisposed of declared the Senate in recess until Monday.

wearer of the dress is social leader of Sheboygan. Mich, and has been inn posed upon by some Fifth avenue sales men by being told that transparent dresses are all the rage. It is the vIs- itors that wear the extreme clothes, pay exorbitant prices to ticket specu- lators. and who are. responsible for that particular asinine monstrosity--the cafe chantant," or the cabaret.
 But then the visitors think they en- joy themselves in New York and the truth is that when one does really meet New Yorker--usually at some quiet resort on Long Island or along Inc Jersey coast--a most affable ana sensible person is encountered.
 But visitors meeting visitors contin- uously on Broadway get some very odd impressions of the New Yorker in gen eral. These impressions are good for the postoffice department as they are responsible for thousands of postal cards.
 That Is why Broadway is different from any other place on earth. The peo- pie are different there every day--ev- cry hour. The little ribbon clerk with a years savings comes from way out in Iowa. He wrinkles a moment and is gone. His place around the lamp is taken by multitudinous assortment of

Watching the crowd anywhere is all ways interesting but watching the crowds of Broadway is most absorb ing sport.
 New York at the present time has the war" fever It's harbor is crowd ed with ships of the various warning nations and the grim dreadnaughts of Uncle Sam coated in their war paint are on watch. And then within the city the reservists of Germany, France and England are continuously on the move in a hurry to cross over and fight and this keeps the interest up. The foreign element predominates in New York and they are so engrossed in the progress of the European war that visitors soon get the fever. At the Herald building the crowds were so large a few days ago that a jeweler across the street sought an in junction against the newspaper to prevent war bulletins being shown as he stated that the people in the street interfered with his business. The in- junction was denied.
 
 The New York Herald bulletin serv- ice is probably the best in New York city. In the first place this newspaper l has large map of Europe in colors l of about 40 feet square. On this man as bulletins come in of the progress of the various armies the moves are made as on a chess board. The map is surrounded with electric light reflect : ors so that persons several hundred feet away may see very clearly what is going on. In addition to their man which is not duplicated elsewhere in the metropolis the Herald has a large stereopticon flashing the bulletins on a large canvas throughout the night.
 At the Times building the bulletin service is not as good as the Herald but owing to its location at Forty sec ond and Broadway, in the heart of the theatre district, the crowds are as | large.
 In these crowds. which are made up of a motley aggregation of national tues, there are few arguments There is no cheering when success by the French German or English armies are announced on, the board. Somehow the | watchers feel the seriousness of the great conflict now going on in Europe and the cheering "jingoes' have had their enthusiasm curbed.
 
 But on Broadway the crowd is diff ferent because it Is made up of peo- pie from cities all over the United States It is well known fact that the New Yorker does not come out at night. Only the visitors do. As there are about 100000 visitors a day in New ork 1t can easily be seen how the pa iatial hotels. theatres and cabarets sur. ) vive. one enters a cabaret and sees tht 7 place crowded with men and women The men are boisterous and the wom en flfrtatious. There is dancing, sing ing and plenty of surface excitemen [ and the impression of the visitor i. that New York people never sleep an, , are always out on good" time Ont gets acquainted and Is immediately dis fllusioned as the dancers, singers ant all l-nights 'roysterers" in the cabaret are usually from outside of New Yorl city. One can always see a few iron Birmingham.

 No material change in the temperature is to be expected, but with clear skies we should have slow, steady rise in the readings. It is still hot in Kansas, Missouri and Iowa, with the readings in the 90s this afternoon. Other parts of the country are enjoying seasonable tenn peratures.

New York August 22.-The White Star liner Baltic arrived today from Liver pool and Queenstown with 212o passen- gers and nearly 5000 sacks of mail The passengers included more than 15oo Amer jean refugees, who reached either Queens town 1ivefpool from the continent after suffering many hardships.
 Seven hundred of the HOO steerage pas sengers were Americans, unable to get accommoda tions in the first and second
 cabins.
 One of the passengers was Miss Flor ence Ralph of Buffalo, who at the out break of hostilities was studying music in Berlin She heard the Emperor deliver the speech in which he said his sword mad been forced into his hands hy his enemies. As he said it, Miss Ralph de- clared, he patted the hilt of heavy sabre hanging at his side and tears came into lis eyes. The Germans cheered tho Elm peror's speech until he told them to go to the churches and pray.
 No Parades Allowed
 ''The day before l left Berlin the au- thorities issued ordersv she said, that no parades should be allowed and that any persons found singing patriotic songs WOdlu Dc dfTtSitu. lne Iuo1, 1 unueI- stand was that the government wanted to impress upon the people that 1t was a time to be solmen and not to be over confident
 Samuel Untermyer, the lawyer, said that American women who were forced to take passage in the steerage, sat at table sandwiched among foreigners of the kind usually found in steamship steer ages.
 In the steerage were 15 Americans who had been arrested in Germany and Russia as spies.
 Dr. B. Pollack of San Antonio. Tex, was a steerage passenger. He was in Liege August 1 and ?, and said the streets were filed with wounded. Many were sit ting with their backs against the sides of houses nursing their wounds. He said there seemed to be few physicians in the town. He himself dressed the wounds of several men.
 Miss A. Nelson of Brooklyn, a steerage passenger, rode from Berlin to Liese in a freight car. She lost all of her baggage, jewelry and money.
 The Baltic was conveyed by the British cruiser Essex from the middle of the At lantic to d short distance outside the three-mile limit.
 All the passengers praised the British government for it's efforts to ease hard ships of stranded Americans

LAST OF HORSE
THIEF GANG GONE

Minot, N. D., April 1S.-Concerted
action on the part of the Minot citi-
zens seems probable within a few
days, regarding the opposition to the
action Of the school board, which
voted to build a $4,000 schoolhouse
on the north side. The erection Of a
school at this point al this cost ap-
pears to be against the wishes of a
large part of the citizens of the COM
munity and a hot fight is promised by
the outlook at. present.
InJunctional proceedings have been
threatened for weeks and following
the last. meeting Of the school board,
at which time the bond election was
set for May 2, a mass meeting Of
citizens to protest this. action has
been called for next Monday. While
the association Of commerce has not
taken sides in the matter, it is rum
ored that the directors as well as the
secretary are heartily in favor Of
stopping the construction Of a $50, 900
school at this time, and will lend the
opposition considerable silent sup
port.
