WHEAT MARKET RECEIVES NEWS
 0F WAR CALMLY
Germanv's Declaration the Cause of Interest, But Little Excitement - The Amendment of Naviga- tion Laws Urged
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcH1

CHICAGO. August 1.-Germanys declaration of war on Russia was re- ceived with eager interest by leaders of the Chicago Board of Trade. but
 in no case. was there the least show of excitement It was virtually the unanimous opinion that the conse- quence. so far as the wheat market is concerned. had been to great ex- tent discounted. Beyond a temporary convulsion. perhaps in the wheat pit the effect on prices generally is ex- pected to be much more restrained
 than in the case of Austria's declara ton against Servia. Fifty million bushels of wheat are said to be al
 ready under contract for shipment tc
 Europe and unable to get away from United States ports.
 Even with an immediate amend
 ment of the navigation laws, it is de- still be lacking, as the shipments would have to be confined as far as
 possible to neutral ports such as Am sterdam or Rotterdam. or run the
 risk of delay, or loss by blockades George Marcy, president of the Armour Grain company, said:
 The declaration of war between Germany and Russia will not in my opinion have great effect on the wheat market outside Possibly at the opening there may be some fur ry one way or the other. As mat ter of fact, at the present time the
 war between those two countries is rot bullish argument, for the req son that there are large quantities of wheat at seaboard or moving to seaboard or ready to go to the sea board from the country elevators and farmers. Under present conditions
 very little of this wheat can be safely loaded. Therefore our export business will be at a standstill tenn
 porarily until things are more set tied. Some of this wheat which was intended to go for export may be of fered for sale in American markets This in itself will prevent any high prices at the present time.
 'It is hoped the United States gov ernment will move as promptly as
 possible and endeavor to provide laws under which some foreign yes sells may be registered as United States bottoms and in this manne. provide ships sailing under the American flag to take care of the quantity of wheat there is in the
 United States ready to export which can be sold at good figures and in
 this manner draw back gold in pay ment. The United States has this year upward of 300,0O0,0O0 bushels
 of wheat which they can spare for l export It will be for the benefit of
 farmers and the community and
 banking interests, every one to have this wheat go abroad, which it can
 not do under present conditions" President C. H. Canby of the Chi cago board of trade, said Germany
 declaration of war makes it abso-
 lutey imperative for congress imme- diately to amend the American navi gation laws so as to allow vessels of foreign register to sail under the | American flag. Unless this is done
 our. export business will be practical ly paralyzed for the present. and
 there will be no adequate outlet for our immense grain crops"

fered great depression.
DR.. Marciafava said today:
There is nothing alarming In the
condition OF the pope. His iniisposi-
ton would pass unnoticed except for
the high office which he holds and his
extreme age. His present indisposi-
ton is much less grave than past ILL.,
nesscs.
'The pope IL suffering from a sim
pie cold which In his case invariably
produces hoarsencss, accompanied by
a slight bronchial catarrh. The cough
and rise in temperature have caused
some weakness. III no complications
occur. and there is no reason to fear
this. a weeks rest will be sufficient to
restore tho pontiff TO health"
The pope had rather a restless night
owing to the cough and difficulty In
breathing, which awakened him fire.

movement he reflected as follows:
In this controversy with the dem
ocratic party the republican party
stands alone. The threat OF third
party. which alarmed so many rcpub-
licans two years ago and sim vexed
us one year ago has practically disap.
peared. II is now plain that II never
had any real substance apart from
the powerful personality OF Mr..
Roosevelt"
At the coming state primaries the
republican voters are to select canJi-
dates for twensy-four offices TO be
filled by the voters OF the entire state:
Candidates 10 BE Named.
United States senator. Judge Of the
court OF appeals, governor, lieutenant
governor. secretary OF state. comp
troller. attorney general. state treas
urer. state engineer and surveyor and
fifteen delegates at large to the con-
stitutionaI convention.
Under the conditions OF the new prl-
maries. Senator Root saw many pit
falls. He saw defects in the primary
law, but urged on the republicans that
IL was their obvious duty TO accept il
for the present In good faith. The
duties of the convention, he said. were
to adopt platform on which the re-
publican candidates chosen at the prl-
maries might stand; to approve the
proposal of the national committee OF
the party TO make representation In
the national conventions conform
more closely 10 the republican vote
In the several states: and to represent
the republican voters OF the state In
consulting about the policy to be fol-
lowed by the party in selecting can
didatcs so that the voters might act
effectively at the primary election
with common purpose to secure
party success at the regular election"
DISCUSSES Primary Law.
He foresaw an unfortunate result IL
in each place the republicans were to
vote at the primary. las they natur-
ally might. for. residents OF their own
vicinity, or If the voters OF one large
place were to vote in that way. while
the republicans of all the rest Of the
state divided among great number
of candidates.
Our opponents will have no such
trouble" he continued. More than
one-half OF the normal democratic
vote of the state is cast In the city of
New York and The great mass of those
voters. following the directions of
their local party organization will dis
tribute the nominations as that organ
ization directs. The voters in the re-
publican primary, scattered through
sixty-two counties, Embossed, will fol-
low nobody's direction. but will act
each according to his own judgment,
and it will be necessary that they
themselves shall consider what will
be the effect OF their action in regard
TO the distribution of candidates"
Would Remedy Law.
For the chief offices. for which
men widely known would be candi-
dates, he saw less trouble over this
geographical cohesion. but he be-
lieved it would be impossible for the
voters to make up a list OF fifteen del
egates at large to the constitutional
convention properly distributed
throughout the state without some
previous understanding. He looked
upon it as a duty of the convention to
remedy this situationin part by draw
ing up recommendations, leaving the
voters to accept as much or as little as
they chose.
