ROME, June 16.-The Albanian sit
 uation is much more serious than 1t
 appears when looked at from dis
 tance. The question at stake is not
 only the existence of the new king
 dom, but also Italo-Austrian rela-
 tions
 | Persons who know the feeling in
 Italy and Austria think that war be-
 tween the two countries is inevitable
 some time. It may come in six months
 or in fifty years, but it is destined
 to come.
 Count Berchtold and the Marquis di
 San Giuliano, the Austrian and Ital-
 ian ministers of foreign affairs, al
 though stating officially that the countries are working in harmony,
 realize that they are standing on a
 volcano, and are making every effort
 to avert or postpone the explosion. The Triple Alliance, which in the mind of Prince Bismarck had as it's
 main object the assuring of German supremacy in Europe, has signified for Austria and Italy safeguard against war, but the serious trouble is that while the war of 1866 gave Venice and the Venetian provinces to Italy, it did not end Austria's an tagonism, which had lasted for 500 years. The Hapsburg monarchy did not renounce all it's Italian dominions, but kept Trent and it's territory as far as the Lake of Garda.
 When Vienna announced the an nexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina,
 after more than twenty years of con trol in those regions, the Italian peo- pie wished to fight it out. In the final settlement at that time Ialy and Austria agreed that there should be no extension on the part of either in the Balkans without compensation to the other. This is why Austria gave up the Sanjak of Novi-Bazar. why Italy during the war with Turkey did not attack the Turkish coast on the Adriatic, why Austria, although mak- ing threats. did not go to Scutari to remove the Montenegrins, since Italy would have landed at Vallona the same day, and why Italy and Austria, 1 who hate each other cordially, are
 obliged to be unit in dealing with Albania.
 Any unforeseen incident, however, notwithstanding the good intentions of those who are in power in Vienna and Rome. may precipitate matters and revive the old quarrel.

providing they can be spared,
LAS the war has forced all our fleet
into temporary idleness and as we now
have in American waters steamers
worth more than $4,000, 900, bonafide
offers for the purchase OF some of
them are being considered.
Others OF our steamers would, of
course, be not sold at any price"

EXPLOITATION OF
LUMBER WORKERS
IN THEIR CAMPS
Federal Industrial Relations
Commission Listens to
Story of Minister at the
Seattle Hearing.

Seattle, Wash, Aug Histories of
alleged exploitation of lumber camp
employees featured todays session of
the federal industrial relations COM
mission. At noon the hearing adjourn
ed and the commission went to near
by camp to make a personal inspection.
Rev. Oscar H. McGill, Of Seattle. who
visits camps frequently, declared that
with few exceptions the men were fore
ed to live under miserable conditions
and every effort was made to pay them
as little money as possible.
"It has been testified here that the
men frequently throw mattresses out
of windows" he said. "If you could
see some of these mattresses you would
not be surprised. l know of a camp
where the men fight each night for the
privilege OF sleeping on the table in
preference to their hunks"
Mr. McGill told how in scores of
camps employees are forced to pay
for welfare" work among them. They
are assessed 81 a month each by the
companies. he said, and in exchange
for this they are provided with "wel-
fare headquarters" presided over by
a representative of Young Mems Chris
tian Association. The salary of the re-
preventative is paid by the company,
Mr.. McGn testified, and the money
collected from the men is supposed to
be expended for books and photograph
records.
Reports of Collision.
Frequent changes in employees at
these camps has led to reports of COL
fusion between employment agencies
and employers and Mr.. McGill said he
believed the stories were well founded.
another reason why company
does not desire to keep these men
long" lie continued, 'is that the
strength Of most of them is Slapped
after four or FIVE days of hard work.
There is little vitality left in a man
who has been living on coffee and
sinkers. and after his strength Is gone
the companies have no further use for
him.
Rudolph Dister Cosmopolis
Washington. real estate man, gave
similar testimony.
He said the clothing OF men was
frequently held at the depot for sew
eraI weeks for debt while they made
futile attempts to obtain enough mon
ey to recover their belongings Ere
quently, he declared, the Grays Harboi
Commercial company. Of Cosmopolis
would pay off their men in coupon
books instead of money in order tC
insure their trading at the company
stores. Saloons conducted on compan!
property, the witness said, discounted
the coupon books at twenty per cen
for cash.

DEPRESSION IN
GRAIN MARKETS
Belief Prevails That Re

Will Be Slow.

Chicago. Aug. 15.-1ncreasing belief
that the resumption of export trade
would be a slow process had a de-
pressing influence today on the wheat
market The Washington conference
from which many bulls had looked for
immediate help regarding shipments to
Europe served to render more clear the
fact that much time at best would be
required to surmount difficulties.
Liverpool dispatches indicating that no
extreme scarcity was imminent in
Great Britain counts also on the side
of lower prices. After opening q to
| rs down, values here underwent some
additional declines.
Lack of support resulted later in a
| fall reaching to three cents under last
night. A little rally ensued, how
ever, on news that the Argentine
government had been authorized to
prohibit exports. The close was steady
2% to 29s net lower.
| Corn sagged with wheat. End of
| the week selling small longs formed
the principal features. The market
opened Is OK to III off, and showed
but little power to rally.
| Fairly heavy rural offers tended to
carry prices yet lower, but not in a
lasting manner The close was steady
at Il to 1 net decline.
Talk of export sales appeared to
have lost effect in the oats crowd. The
cereal had no Independent action and
was governed chiefly by corn.
| Normal receipts of hogs caused pro-
visions to ease back. First transac-
lions were 21s to &c lower, and there
| was a subsequent further drop.
