THINKS FOREIGN POWERS
WILL REPLY FAV0RABLY
Secretary Bryan Hopeful Of Program
for Next Peace Conference
at The Hague.

Secretary Bryan Is looking for favor
able responses from foreign nations to
the call of this country for the third
peace conference, to be held at The
Hague next year.
Failure of the next Hague confer
ence has been threatened through the
neglect Of. some of the powers to take
the steps necessary for the preparation
of the program of subjects to be con-
sidered in time to insure the assembly
of the conference next year, according
to the recommendation of the last con-
ference.
One of the protocols adopted by that
conference recommended that the gov
ernments represented appoint indlvld-
ual committees to prepare lists OF SUB
jectS to be placed on the program tor
the meeting two years in advance of
the actual date of assembly, Whlch
was to be in 1915 if the usual practice
is followed.
U. S. Committee Finishes Its Work.
The United States promptly appointed
as it's committee Reuben Clarke OF
Utah, then solicitor of the Department
of State: Judge Advocate General
Crowder for the army and Rear Ad-
mira! Wainwright for the navy, and
this coslln,ittee has done its work
Few .'other nations. however. have
met their obligations in this respect
and it was represented to Secretary
Bryan by Senator Root a short time
ago that some way must be found to
hasten the agreement upon a program
and secure the designation of date
for the meeting of the third confer
ence. The State Department sug-
gested to the various governments. at
the instances of Queen Wilhelmina
that they designate the administrative
council Of the permanent court of ar
bitration at The Hague as members
of d special committee to arrange the
program for the third conference. This
council is composed of the ministers
of foreign countries resident at The
Hague, the United States being repre-
Sented by Minister Van Dyke.
+ If the responses received are favor
able. about which there is little doubt,
the individual members of the council
will receive the instructions OF their
own governments regarding the pro-
gram and be in position speedily to
weld them together and fix a date for
the gathering, which probably Will be
some time in July next year.

All Depends on Congress.

Considering the thousands who visit
Kew each year. and the fact that it is
six miles from London. with easy ac-

what may we expect in the way Of
future enthusiastic crowds that will
visit the greatest botanical garden on

In time such a national botanic
garden would be bound to be the pride
of our country.
Congress is handicapped in knowing

portion of which has not yet been
made accessible to the public, as far as
roadways or walkways are concerned.

Conventions Later.

When our plans shall have been fur

stood by the postmasters, such conven-
tons can be made of great use in pro-
noting an exchange of views among the
postmasters and of solving difficulties Of
administration.
"I am inclined. however, to believe that
at this time the tendency of the postal
service is toward over organization, re-
sulting in the loss. in many instances.
of too much time the part of post
masters and other employees. This is
especially true now because of the de-
mands made upon by the new respon-

these and the rapid growth of the serv-
ice rom the natural development of busi-

POSTMASTERS' MEETINGS
OPPOSED BY BURLESON
Head of Department Desires That
All Government Employees Stick
to Their Duties.

Postmaster General Burleson has an
nounced thar he is not in favor of con-
ventions of postmas1ers and other en-
ployes Of the postal service, at least at
this time. In a letter addressed to Sena-
tor Bacon, who made inquiry in behalf
of the Georgia Association of Presiden-
tial Postmasters. Mr.. Burleson wrote
that a number of post offices are now
being organized for the purpose of
standardzing the postal service. and that
it will require some months to dissent
nate and put into practice the factors
of this organization plan.
.'As many changes naturally will be
made among postmasters during this
year he adds. and those whose terms
of office are about to expire would not
likely be Interested | am inclined to the
opinion that no great amount of con-
structive endeavor would be promoted by
conventions of postmasters during this
year.

MARKET REPORT

Kansas City Stock Yards, Aug. p,
1914. The morning estimate of 10000
proved to be two thousand too small
today. A year ago Tuesday of this
week 10000 cattle arrived, a good
share of which were drought refugees.
Corn feed cattle sold steady to-day
with fair number of cattle at 50. Is
to S10.30 Grass steers sold strong to
to 15 higher, the better grades taking
most gain. Steers wintered on wheat
pasture and gIaZed in the Kansas
flint hills, and which had never
tasted corn. sold at S8.S5, 1888 lbs
average. Feeding steers sold steady
today, the main demand being for
cheap ones, at 572 to S7.75. Some
f1eShy Kansas steers were taken by
feeders yesterday at S8.45 and 1856.
Light stock steers sold 10 to Is high
er, sales largely at S6.25 to S7.25.
Cows and heifers sold strong, best
grass cows 1918, and corn fed cows
scarce, top 1925. Thirty-tWo cars of
quarantine cattle arrived, following
90 cars Monday, sales strong. Middle
class Okiahomas made up nearly all
Sc IS, good wintered Oklahomas are
worth up to $3.50, and common light
steers find quick outlet at S5.10 to
1915. Canning cows are in good de-
mand, at 81. 25 to $500; and bulls sell
well, good heavy ones at 1886 to Sc. 10
ana veal calves up TO 0lU. 0U. Inc
good general rain over the country
Sunday was the biggest help the mar
ket has had recently. Commission
men have ordered in a fair run of
Kansas grass cattle for tomorrow,
anticipating continued strength on
that kind. Hogs receipts are $500
today, which was also more than the
early estimate. A few early sales
were steady with top of 1926 Late
sales were to 10 lower, bulk of sales
at SO. 90 to SO. 20, the latter price the
top paid by packers. Local prices are
5 to Is cents above other river mar
kets, account of greater demand
here, packers, order buyers and SER
um makers each having orders that
have to be filed. Buyers are bolding
the hand in the sheep barns this
week and prices were again 10 to Is
cents lower today. Receipts here are
120O0, seasonable supply, but
Omaha and Chicago have around
$4,000 each. The unequal distribu-
tion works against sellers. Top
western lambs brought ST. Is to-day,
best natives ST so, ewes at S4. 90 to
S5.35, weathers scarce at $40 to S5. SIS
and yearling So. 10 to $500. Some
feeding stock will be available from
now on, lambs worth So so to S7.00.

of the House bill and look if the President had agreed

While technically the tolls clause repealed but the amend
