NEW PACT WITH ENGLAND
is ANNOUNCED BY PAGE

London, England, July 10.-Walter
H. Page, the American ambassador,
speaking at the peace centenary meet
ing in the Metropolitan tabernacle
last night made reference to a new
treaty between the United States and
Great Britain.
After referring to the cordial rela-
tons now prevailing between the
United States and Great Britain and
complimenting Viscount Bryce on the
part he had played in clearing up all
difference between the two countries,
the ambassador said it was the policy
of the American people to have an
alliance with none; where there was
perfect friendship alliances were not
needed.
The old arbitration treaty between
the two countries, however, had been
renewed for another period and he was
free to announce that a new treaty
was being concluded whereby a COM
mission was to be set up, to which
either government could refer any
question arising between them. Both
governments, he added, promised not
to begin hostilities until this commits
sion had investigated and submitted
its report. The announcement evoked
great outbursts of cheering.
Washington, d. c., July 10-That
new ceace treaties with Great Britain
and France soon would be signed by
the United States recently was an
nounced by Secretary Bryan. The
pacts are modelled after those recently
signed by the secretary with repre-
sentatives OF 16 other nations.

wAGNER'S REVIEW
Morning Grain Letter.

Chicago. Ill, July 10.-No rain fell
trail west. Canada was dry, with tenn
peratures of 90 to 90. Temperatures
in many sections Of the northwest and
corn belt rose to 81 and SO. There are
private reports of recent Kansas and
Missouri rains. Locals evidently play
ed for a warm map this morning, and
il an early corn bulge much selling
should result The corn bulge OF
Thursday Is regarded skeptically, but
the sharp advance swept the locals
along. The newspapers do not give
any adequate reason for the big corn
bulge. The August corn par adds
about 15O,O0O,0OO to the report if still
around So condition. Chicago corn
stocks of 100000 should lie well re-
duced this month. July and September
corn should rally after dips. Decem-
Der corn should hold most of its up
turn until rains. II no rains, Deem
Der corn will advance. Most OF locals
suggests it has fair chance to touch
co cents. Shrewdest say the Decem
Der corn upturn was due to OVERRIDING
of the early June corn break. Wheat
is a bulge sale. Bulges are expected.
Canadian dry fears are probable.
Up TO July 10 black rust receives
little credence. Southwest exporters
have 100000 wheat sold to go out
via Galveston that will never see a
terminal. Oats should follow corn for
present On the northwest oats rust
news they should advance.
Liverpool wheat is firm and our
wheat should hold for few days. We
have excellent corn reports from Kan
sas and reports of 80 per cent for
wheat in southeastern North Dakota.
Corn as a rule in the corn belt is one
to two. weeks away from the radical
danger line. Map shows temperatures
of 62 to 6S in Canada. 1t is raining
at Winnipeg. There is rain all over
North Dakota. May is dry all over
corn belt with temperatures of "A to
IS. Missouri temperatures are so.
Corn map is favorable to early bulge.

Board of Aldermen.

With the necessity of raising more than
sos, 600 for salaries and city work staring
them in the face. and realizing that they
must in the future keep the floating in
debtedneSS of the CITY to $40, ooo,- the
Board Of Aldermen met Tuesday night in
special session and fixed the tax rate at
SI.Io which is the same rate as last year.
Nlnety-eight cents has been levied for
general purposes, ten cents for sinking
fund number one, and two cents for sink
ing fund number two. The SOS, 600 for
general purposes has been provided for
in the budget, which has been the first
| time that Frederick has made tax levy
III that form. About $4,000 will be LAID
aside for the sinking funds. More than
SIS, 900 will be raised by the taxes of the
civ.
The revenue of the city will be approx
imately Sis ooo including taxes, accord
ing to City Attorney Edward Smith.
The receipts from the water system. liquor
licenses and other departments of the city
net more than $37, 900, which will be used
for the running of the other departments
OF the city government.
The net receipts from the water rents
are about $22, 900, liquor licenses about
$4,000, while there is revenue from the
marketmaSter, police magistrate fines,
ETC., bringing the receipts near the S4o,-
600 mark.
Although Alderman Phebus protested
when the Board made the rate 81. 10 on
the $Ioo, the other members felt that with
the work to be done, and the new laws
passed by the last session of the Mary
land Legislature it was impossible for
them to lower the rate. 1t is hoped,
however, that next year a considerable
cut can be made, although the exemp
ton of property, personal, consisting OF
furniture. to the extent OF $500, will go
into effect, and this will cut The citys
revenue.
The Board voted to move the'hay scales
from Court House Square to West All
Saints street. Alderman Phebus object
ed. These scales will be moved at once.
because they are interfering with the
street improvements on Court House
Square.
Alderman Grove reported that Dog
Catcher Ephraim Eyler wanted TO be put
on fixed salary.
