HILL SAYS CROP
 IS THE LARGEST IN
 COUNTRY'S HISTORY

NEW YORK, Sept 11.-James j.. Hm. is in New York. bringing word of the largest grain crop in the his- tory of the territory covered by the Great Northern. He estimates that the field in the country served by the road will be between 175.00OO0O and 1SO,OOO.OOO bushels This com pares with 110.OOOOOO bushels last year, and 155.OOO,OOO bushels in 1912, the previous high record year
 General business conditions in the Northwest" Mr. Hill said. "are quiet, but with an undertone of cheerful ness over the large crops. There is considerable activity in some lines of trade. but as a rule people are not starting any new enterprises. With foreign governments giving a consid- erably higher interest return on bond issues, backed by a government guar antee, investors don't have to take chances in enterprises where there is no guarantee The lumber trade is dull The capacity for manufac- turing lumber is from 25 to S5 per cent greater than the demand. Ore stocks on the lower lakes are getting low. and think next year will see an ad- vance in ore prices"

NEW YORK, Sept. II. - Dr. Con- stantini Dumba, minister from Aus tria-Hungary, whose withdrawal has been demanded by the United States. left New Lork for Lenox, Mass, to- day. Dr. Dumba will probably remain there until he is ordered home.
 The Austrian ambassador appeared tired and worn. and the unwonted stoop to his shoulders and his deeply lined face evidenced the strain he has been under since charges were filed against him.

The Alaska daily empire., 1915-09-11

WASHINGTON, Sept. II. - Presi- dent Wilson's request on Austro-Hun- gary for the recall of Ambassador Dumba has broadened into a situa- tion involving Captain Franz Von Pahen, military attache to the Ger man embassy, Alexander Nuber von Pereked. Austro consul-general at New York and possibly Count Von Bern storff. German ambassador to the United States.
 The administration has openly charged von Bernstorff with having knowledge of the movement of cor respondence inflammatory to the United States government, between Dr. Dumba and Austrian employees of munition factories.
 Captain von Pahen and von Pere- ked are accused of sending obyect- ionable dispatches and letters abroad, by American passports and it was in- timated by the State Department that the entire system under which the Austro.German embassies have been working has been exposed. Count von Bernstorif is not considered. to have been a leader in the alleged plot to influence violation of the Unit ed States neutrality. although his knowledge of the facts is charged against him.
 Germany. rather than Austria, is expected to decide what the future relations between the United States and these two nations are to be. The State Department is coupling the facts in the Dumba recall case with those of the Arabic situation, which again has taken on serious aspect, owing to Germany's refusal to concede Am erica's right to indemnity for the loss of Americans on the Arabic, without arbitration at The Hague.
 The Dumba and Arabic cases are dovetailed in such a way that either may cause a break in the diplomatic relations of this country and Austria and Germany, 1t was asserted this morning at the State Department,
