Meeting to Follow Reply.

Until the Carranza reply has been re-
eeived here. however. the pan-Ameri-
can conferees have no final informa-
| tion in regard to the stand which is to
be taken by the constitutionalist gov
ernment. AS soon as Carranza has been
heard from it is expected that the
conferees will get together again to
| consider the next step to be taken to
bring about peace in the southern re-
public. Copies of the replies already
received here have been furnished to
the six Latin American diplomats who.
with Secretary Lansing of the State
Department, compose the conference.
Carranza has delayed sending his
reply. it is believed here. until he shall
have established his capital in Mexico
City because he wishes TO impress the
conferees with the fact that the gov.
ernment which he claims is in control of
the majority of Mexico is well estab-
i1shed in the capital of the republic.
Other Favorable Replies.
Besides Gen. Villa himself. among
those who have sent replies to the pam
American note accepting the proposal for
peace conference to be held in neutral
lied territory for the purpose of setting
up a provisional government to arrange
general elections are Diaz Lombardo,
minister of foreign affairs in Villas
Angeles, Gen. Maytorena. governor Of
Sonora; Gen. Raoul Madero and Gen.
Hernandez. Mexican leaders favoring
the pan-American plan are located prin-
clpally in the north and west of Mexico;
those opposing it are in east and central
Mexico. Gen. Zapata, in Moreles. south
Of Mexico City. is expected to favor the
plan, although his reply has not yet
reached Washington.
Before another conference is held.
Carranza's adherents are hopeful that
Gen. Obregon will have captured Tore
on. toward which he is said to be ad-
vancing. Villa is said to be massing his
forces at Torreon to meet this attack.
A decisive battle there may have far
reaching effect on the future of the re-
public.
Gen. Scott to Report.
MAJ. Gen. Hugh L. Scott, chief of staff,
who has been on the Mexican border in
the interests of the State Department for
more than two weeks. is expected to
| reach Washington today OF tomorrow.
He will give the President and Secre-
tary Lansing his opinion of affairs in
Mexico as soon as he arrives.
| The Carranza agency here last night
received advices from Laredo, Tex, to
the effect that the constitutiona1ist
troops under Gen. Jacinto B. Trevino
have begun the attack on Saltillo. The
same dispatch conveyed the informa-
has entered the city Of Durango, cap
! ital of the state of the same name,
which will be used as the military base
in the operations against Torreon. the

CONFER AT FRONT
. ON NU-BOAT POLICY
German Chancellor and Ad-
ll,iraI Won, Tirpitz in East
to Meet Kaiser.
SEEKING TO PREVENT
TROUBLE WITH THE.U. S,
German Submarine Has as ~ Yet
Failed to Report Sinking
of Arabic.

BERLIN. August %. via London. Au-
gust 29, 1905 a.m.-Dr. Won Bethmann-
Hollweg. the German imperial chan
cellor. and Admiral Won Tirpitz,, minis
ter of marine, who left together We'd
nesday evening to join the emperor, are
still at eastern Headquarters, where
the Arabic case and the submarine
policy generally undoubtedly. have been
the subjects of consideration.
No word has reached Berlin concern
ing the conference and no developments
of any sort have occurred in the case
Of policy given in a statement to the
Associated Press last Wednesday.
Oppose Complications.
Admiral Won Mueller, chief of the
private marine cabinet, and the en-
perors direct personal adviser on naval
affairs, also is with the emperor. The
admirars influence. it is known, is
thrown with that of DR.. Won Bethmann-
Hollweg and Foreign Minister Won
Jagow against complications with the
United States and SO, the opinion is
held here. there is no reason to change
the hopeful view of the situation ex-
pressed after the chancellor's state
ment.
The exact wording of Instructions is
sued to naval commanders has not been
divulged and higher officials when
questioned avoid an answer, but it is
stated that they certainly include the
direction to attack no passenger steam
ers without adequate warning. Wheth-
er this applies to freighters cannot be
learned, but the technical difficulties in
Distinguishing a freighter from a pas
senger ship through periscope would
in any case produce the same effect.
United States Knows of Policy.
The American government is now Of
f1cially in possession OF the same decla-
ration of policy as contained in DR.. Won
Bethmann- -Hollweg's statement and ap-
'parently with the same limitations, this
having been conveyed by Minister Won
Jagow to James w. Gerard, the Ameri-
can ambassador, at a conference We'd
nesday noon.
No report on the sinking of the
Arabic has yet been received, none of
the submarines which might possibly
have been involved having returned to
port. The admiralty says that the re-
port may come any day and may pos
sibly be delayed another fortnight. At
least that interval must elapse before
the last of the submarines operating
south of Ireland returns.

Airmen Active in West;
French Bombard Towns:
Attack on Paris Fails

LONDON. August 2S.-On the front IN
France the artillery and the alrmen
have been active, but infantry salllss
from the trenches have been lacking
Berlin says that French air attacks on
Ostend Middelkerk and Bruges were
without success. and that in Muelheim,
Baden, three persons killed in bomb
attack were civilians.
On the dunes at Middlekerke the Ger
mans have some of their most forml-
dable batteries for use against at
tacks from sea, while at Bruges the
objective of the airmen would be the
canal and docks which are used ex-
tensively by the Germans for trans
port purposes. This was doubtless a
further phase of the attack on the
Belgian coast initiated by British war
ships last Tuesday.
Paris Attack Frustrated.
An attempted German air raid on
Paris was frustrated by a French air
fotilla, dispatches from Paris state.
One machine of the four in the Ger
man air raiding force was brought
down by bullets and fell flaming into a
forest Both aviators in it were burned.
The other three machines escaped,
after one had dropped five bombs on
Montmorency. fifteen miles fro.l Paris.

Takinq Up the RecoiI.

the expansion of the compressed air
forces the glycerin back into the iston

CHAPTER VIII.
The Half Opened Bud.

"YA ILL used to live seven miles
M& away at the mountain with

tinued after she had told
about the wonderful window. But it
was too far off. When he got to know
me it tired him walking this far twice
a day, morning and night, so at last
Brick and Bill decided to cut some
cedars from the mountain and make
me a cabin. They took the dugout to
sleep in. There are two rooms in the
cabin-one, the Kitchen, where we eat,
and the other, my parlor, where /
sleep. Some time you shall visit me
in the cabin if Brick and Bill are will

They were Bills when we first met
him, but since then he's given me ev-
erything he's got, haven't you, old
Bill?' Lahoma leaned over and patted
the u%nyielding shoulder.
She resumed, her face glowing with
sudden rapture: There are six books

some Of them. Bits read EN- over

groan, and even Brick sat up.
"She did the last time l saw her"
He spoke lightly; but, gazing into the
wonderful depths Of Lahoma's eyes,
he felt a queer sensation like a lost

STUDY OF THE MARKET
REQUIREMENTS

portland Live Stock Reporter)
S. G. Tuning, of Parma, Idaho
who was in with car of hogs Mon
day, got the top of the market for
his stuff. The hogs which he brought
in was the only load to reach the
Sis price.
In discussing the cooperative ship
ping associations, Mr.. Tuning said:
1--WE serve the man who has only a
few head of livestock by combining
his consignment with enough other
animals to make up a carload, but
if man has enough livestock to
make a carload we like to see him
ship it himself, as visit to the mar
ket will be an education to him.
Quite a few farmers think that
heavy hogs are as popular on this
market as they used to be on eastern
markets and are disappointed if their
fat hogs bring less than the top. A
trip to the market, where the hog rails
er can see the stuff sold, will give him
a better idea how his stuff should
look when it is offered for sale"
