Tire Russian LANGUAGE.

Charles Sarolea in an article in Lon
don Everyman on Thoughts on the
Russian Language" notes that in its
grammatical structure, as well as in
its vocabulary, ii is nearer than any
ether living tongue to the older Indo-
European tongues like Sanskrit and
Lithuanian, but that as written and
literary language, as a vehicle of
prose. the Russian language is almost
Of yesterday. Ii is today the domi-
nant language of 1T0.000.00O OF peo-
pie. Nor must it be forgotten" he
says. that the Russian is the key to
a dozen other Slavonic languages; that
it is closely allied TO the Bulgarian
language and to the Servian language.
And. finally, it has TO be kept in mind
that Salonihi or ecclesiastical Russian
is the common sacred language of all
the Greek orthodox Slav nations"

Gates wheat and oats are in two-sid-
ed position over wide range with
prospects of unsupported bulges.
In wheat and oats we have situa-
ton within a situation in which long
distance effects must be considered
even though present stocks in sight
are ample. May oats at SO to 80 cents
are OF course high at this period on
any size of a crop.
The Russian official grain estimates
comprise old news and can be ignored.
The main question concerns the Today
cessation of war hysteria.
The grain world now recognizes that
winter campaign will mean indus
trial hardship and lessened grain use.
The immediate trend in wheat depends
on the marketing though before Oct.
Is some bullish continental seeding
news must break through.
On the basis of these last downturns
in the grains rallies must be expected.
II wheat nearly duplicates the S1.03
dip for December wheat of Sept. 10
the subsequent rally should be very
extensive.
At this period of year the packer fig
ures his stocks in proportion to the
a time where products are governed

raw material supplies.

Morning Grain Letter.

Chicago, Oct. domestic cash de
mand for wheat, corn and oats yester
day was small. There We're the usual
claims of large oats exports also. Corn
bears have covered and await a rally
Wheat can easily rally or 3 cents, but
some stiff continental bullish news
is required. Without new bull help in
heat bulges will be unsupported.
With good weather the war will be
active until end of November. and
there is a chance for it TO end in the
next eight weeks.
Purchasing of the grains by war in
vestors is now of a very steady kind.
There is no rally from the reduced
volume of interest that set in Sept. Is.
The Herald is hopeful and believes
that grain liquidation should be COM
pleted. The Examiner believes new
wheat investment action by outsiders
is required and says locals will not
bull wheat on present receipts. The
Tribune comments on the big wheat
receipts as the factor.
Packers are declared bullish on lard,
while stock yards writer's predict low
er hog and cattle prices.

rying about wheat and -four supplies,

The fierccst fighting on both sides and
unusually high loss of life to both
Federals and Constitutionalists ended
last night in the capture of Zacatecas
by General Villas forces. 1t required
four days of battle to take the Federal
stronghold of Central Mexico.
The Federals under General Medina
Barron defended their positions stub
bornly. The Constitutionalist soldiers
scaled hill after hill and mountain
after mountain, killing and wounding
thousands of Federals and suffering
heavy losses themselves. Heaps of dead
on the mountain sides and in the city
bear testimony to the ferocity of the
fighting.
Villa was in the van of the attack.

accompanying him were wounded. The
number of Constitutionalist officers
killed or wounded was unusually great
General Trinidad Rodriguez, one of the
best of Villas brigade commanders
was shot through the throat and is
not expected to live.
The Constitutionalists in many
cases had to advance on hands and
knees, as those below on the steep in
clines passed the rifles from hand ia
hand. These feats were accomplished
under heavy machine gun fire, but
nothing seemed to lessen the determi-
nation of Villas troops. The Federsls
had thrown up trenches and redoubts
everywhere and the hillsides afforded
no cover for the attacking troops.

Amos r. f.. Pinchot was the only
member of the Progressive party yes
terday who did not agree witE the
statement of Colonel Roosevelt that
George w. Perkins should not be driven
out of the party, or at least deposea as
head of the executive committee.
81 have read Colonel Rooseyelts
statement about Mr.. Perkins with IN
terest." said Mr.. Pinchot. "He says
that Mr.. Perkins should not be run out
of the party. That is not the question.
The question is whether or not Mr.. FER
kins should remain as the executive
leader of the party. :,
"The Progressive party Is pledged
by its platform to strengthening the
Sherman law and fighting private
monopoly. Mr.. Roosevelt, in his con-
fession of faith speech, said: The anti
trust law should be kept on the statute
books and strengthened so as to make
it genuinely and thoroughly effective

Huerta Said To Be Set on
Forcing War, Failing
Reasonable Terms.
MEDIATORS TO LEAVE
DR.. NAON IN CANADA
He and American Delegates to
Aid Mexican Factions to
Reach an Agreement.
Nv GEORGE GRIswoLD HILL.

Niagara Falls, Ont, June 25.-An
agreement here between the Mexican
delegates and the Constitutionalists or
armed intervention by the United
States is the alternative of the present
situation, according to those who speak
with knowledge of conditions in Mexico
City and the mind Of President Huerta.
II an agreement can be reached here
whereby Huerta may retire, a neutral
provisional government may be set up
and just general election may be held
Mexico, the Huerta delegates will well
come it and Huerta will abide by their
decision.
II the Constitutionalists either fail
to come TO Niagara Falls, which is re-
garded as improbable, or, coming, re-
fuse to treat with the Mexican dele
gates on a Just and reasonable basis,
Huerta will force Intervention by the
United States rather than permit Villa
and his followers to enter Mexico City
to work their will on the just and the
unjust and capture the Federal govern
ment and public treasury.
Informal advices, presumably from
Luis Cabrera, have reached the medi-
ators that the Carranzista representa-
tives will come to Niagara Falls.
The Brazilian Ambassador left here
this evening to join Nine. da Cana at
Long Branch, where she has her sum-
mer home. The CHILEAN Minister, who
had sent to Washington for Nine.
Suarez, has learned that she is not
well enough to travel, and he will go
there to join her Immediately. The
Argentine Minister, DR.. Naon, who is
the most optimistic of the mediators,
will remain here and do everything in
his power to promote an agreement
between the Huertistas and Constitu-
tionalists, if the latter come here.
There is little gratitude on the part
OF the Mexicans to the United States
for the waving CT all war indemnity.
the forgiveness without reparation Of
the insult to the flag, etc, because they
believe that the present dire strait of
Mexico is chiefly due to the United
States. They contend that while the
government of the United States has
refused to recognize the Huerta gov
eminent, and thus make possible it's
financing of an effective campaign
against the revolutionists, foreign citi
zens have continuously financed the
revolution; and believing these things,
it is hard for them to feel gratitude
because the United States has made no
demands or to perceive that the United
States has been actually generous.
Justice Lamar and Mr., Lehman will
remain here, unless instructed by
Washington to do otherwise, and so
far as is in their power they will bend
all their energies to bringing about an
agreement between the Mexican fac
tions. They hope much from the pop
ular desire for peace, believing it will
operate to induce the Constitutional
lists to be reasonable. They are MAX
ing no predictions, however. They are
merely hoping.
