gressmen voted unanimously for a $500, 0O0.000 war appropriation to uphold the dignity of our country. General Joe Wheeler, a fiery Confederate cavalry off, cer during the Civil War, who was then serving in congress, was given command of United States troops.

 MT. McRae spoke at length on the progress of the country siGce Rthe war. He referred to the great increase of population brought about by immigration during the fifty years that have elapsed. He called attention to the Panama Canal, the transat- lantic cable, railroads connecting each side of the continent, and other giant projects that have been successfully carried out, as some of the steps of progress.
 He referred only briefly to his candidacy for governor. He ad- vocated measures to benefit the public schools of the state. He spoke of the states dept and favored reduction of the states expenses to come within the income. He advocated inviting immigration to the state. He favored developing the mineral resources of the state. But the paramount issue, he said, was the problem of taking care of the business interests of the state.
 The address was well received and frequently applauded.

contracted.


 Generally speaking, it is the intention of the British govern. ment to permit the passage through the blockade lines of goods for which the American importers have entered into con. tract with German and Austrian firms. Heretofore. it has beer required that the money shall have actually been paid for the goods. Now it will be sufficient to show that they were regular ly contracted for and that the American importer is really the person responsible for them and title rests with him.
 Goods valued at many millions of dollars have accumulated at Rotterdam and await transpor- tation to the United States. The order applies to these, but whet- her it will extend to goods yet in German factories. but under contract for delivery on thisj side of the Atlantic, is yet undeter- mined.
 The entire responsibility for the holding up of dyestuffs of German manufacture intended for America is placed by the British authorities upon the Ger man government. To set itself straight in this matter, the British embassy today issued the following statement:
 "On April 14th, a formal mo- tice was issued by the British government that they would allow vessels carrying two ship ments of dyestuffs which were paid for by delivery in Germany of certain cotton cargoes, to pass without interference, provided the vessels sailed under a neut- ral flag; that the shipments were made from Rotterdam and the dyestuffs consigned to the secre- tary of commerce for distribut- ion directly to the textile in. dustries.
 This offer, which was refus. ed by Germany, still holds good.

Washington, Aug. 30. Before July 15, the British authorities declined to enter in information negotiations with the trade ad- visers in any cases. The Brit ish note dealing with the de- tention of the American steamer Neches, however, sent on July 31, set forth that in cases where hardship may be inflicted on citizens of neutral countries. |" the British government would examine the facts in a spirit of consideration for the interests of neutrals.
 Information in the hands of the state department that pri- vate brokers were securing permits in London for special shipments of American goods from Rotterdam, while the trade advisers were unable even to present special cases. was trans mitted to London.
 The ambassador called at the state department personally to explain the extent of the British concessions, which especially in. tended to meet the growing complaint of American importers that their Christmas trade Is threatened by failure co obtain goods made in Germany and Austria for which they mad

Washington, Aug. The diplo- matic elimination of the case of the Arabic, sunk by German submarine with the loss of two, American lives, as case of friction between United States and Germany will be effected, probably before the close of the present week.
 State Department officials of importance recognize that the official attitude of Germany or the Arabic, as printed today. disclosed a situation between Germany and the United States, which must be resolved largely in favor of Germany.
 Unofficial news at the State Department that the submarine which destroyed the Arabic has. been lost seemed to clarify rather than complicate the issues in that case. Officials have no di@ rect knowledge of the loss of the submarine, but 1t is indicated plainly enough that Germany would be obliged, if the loss. were authenticated, to settle on the statements, which are now on the way to the State Depart ment from Ambassador Page Apart from the consideration however. due weight is given to the friendly attitude of Germany before the report became cur rent that the German submarine. had been lost.
 The note on the Arabic is con- fidently expected to present textually promises from Ger many and guarantees that there will be no loss of American life in the future. It is anticipated that the text of the note will admit as principle that the Arabic or any other vessel at- attacked should have been and should be given due warning As pointed out by an official to- day. this admission will not be anything new, because it is matter of record in the presi- dents last note that he compli- mented Germany on her conduct of submarine warfare as being at that time carried out under the principles demanded in their widest construction by the presi- dent himself.
