WHEAT MADE TARGET Fon
 ATTACK ON HIGH PRICES

Chicago, Sept. 24.-wheat became the main target today in an attack on high prices. An exciting smash in the mar ket resulted and final quotations were 10 3-4c to 12 l-4c a bushel lower than 24 hours before.
 General selling of wheat was pro- voked by the striking contrast between the recent upward tendency of that ce-- real and the downward course of other grain and of merchandise values. The relative strength of wheat had been as- cribed chiefly to urgent buying for ex- port to Europe. but today, for the first time of late, important selling on foreign account was noted here. Big receipts of wheat in Canada were said to explain to some extent the apparent change in the attitude of transatlantic Inter ests.
 Another influence that tended to pull down the market was a shrinkage in de- mand for ofiur and a consequent de- crease in wheat buying by domestic mil. lers.
 The selling furry reached climax m the final half hour of trading during that brief period. the rapidity of down turns was at bewildering rate and the close was demoralized at the lowest prices reached. December delivery sell ing at s2.25 to s225 2 and March at s2.15 to s2.1s.

Washington, Sept. 24.--Formal an nouncement was made today by the state department that President Wilson had decided not to carry out the instruc- tion from congress to annul existing treaties between the United States and foreign countries by which the United States is prevented from granting spe- cial import tariffs and transportation rates on imports carried ill American bottoms.
 The announcement said the president had reached his decision before the ex- pirstion on Sept of the ninety day pe- riods in which the merchant marine act directed that he takes steps to abrogate the treaties. It also was stated that the president had not consulted any foreign governments regarding the matter
 The statement given out by the state department follows:
 The department of state has been informed by the president that he does not. deem the direction, contained in Sec ton 34 of the so-called merchant ma rine act. an exercise of any constitu- tional power possessed by the congress
 Under the provisions of the section referred to the president was directed within 90 days after the act became law, 10 notify the several governments with whom the United States had en. tered into commercial treaties that this country elected to terminate so much ot said treaties, as restricted the right ot the United States to impose discrimi mating customs duties on imports ano discriminatory tonnage dues, according as the carrier vessels were domestic ol foreign, quite regardless of the fact tha these restrictions are mutual, operating equally upon the other government! which are parties to the treaties ant quite regardless also of the further fac tha tthe treaties contain no provision for their termination in the name contemplated by congress.
 The president therefore, considers misleading to speak of the termination of the restrictive clauses of such Urea ties. The action sought to be impose upon the executive would amount nothing less than the breach or viola ton of said treaties. which are 32 i number and cover every point of con tact and mutual defendence which con sdu.e the modern relations betwee friendly states. Such course woul be wholly irreconcnabls wifh the his torical respect which the United State

has shown for it's internationa lengase- ments and would falsify every proles- sion of our belief in the binding force and the reciprocal obligation of treaties in general.
 Secretary Colby, commenting on the point made by the president, that con gress had exceeded Tits powers called at tention to the veto by President Hayes of an act passed by congress in 1878, which required the president to give no- tice to China of the abrogation of Arti- cles , and of the Burlingame treaty.
 President Hayes declared that The power of making new treaties or of mod flying existing treaties is not lodged by the constitution in congress, but in the president, by and with the advice and consent of the senate, as shown by the concurrence of two-thirds of that body. On this subject, as well as the effect of an attempted partial abrogation ot a l treaty, as contemplated by the recent act. the words of President Hayes are significant. Said he:
 "As the power of modifying an ex- | isting treaty, whether by adding or striking out prov sions, is part of the treaty making power under the con-sti tuition it's exercise is not competent fol congress, nor would the assent of Chinf | to this partial aprogatlon or the treaty make the action of congress in thus pro curing an amendment of treaty, Z competent exercise of authority under the constitution. The importance, how ever, of this special consideration seem superseded by the principle that a de nuncation of part of a treaty no made by the teiMs of the treaty itsel separable from the rest is a dc1u1cia ton of the whole treaty. As the othe high contracting party has ente.> int no treaty obligations except such as in clude the part denounced the denuncia tion by one party of the part necessaril liberates the other party from the whol treaty.
 The merchant marine act was ar proved June 5, in the final rush of tn sessions close, with no opportunity t suggest, much less secure its revision i any particular. To have vetoed the ac would have sacrificed the great nurnbe of sound and enlightened provision which it undoubtedly contains. Furthei more, the fact that one section of tn law involves clements of illegality Ter dering the section inoperative,sn need ane affect the validity and operation of tn act as a whole"

Practical" Memorials.

II the sentiments of leading editorial

ion, we are about to witness a general
reaction from the alleged demand for

This humorous observation is fol
lowed by a really remarkable editorial

THE wILsoN,LANsING DISPUTE.

A congressional investigation of the
Wilson Lansing disagreement, which
was followed by the resignation of
Lansing as secretary of state, would
not amount to anything worth while,
and it is to be hoped that the move for
such an investigation will be side
tracked at the outset, 1t is matter
largely between the president and the
secretary of state, and the resignation
Is but the elimination of differences of
opinion between the two persons. The
alleged immediate cause, the temerity
of Lansing in calling the cabinet to-
uether in conference during the serious
Illness of the president, is but single
incident and. of itself, probably would
not have eventuated in the departure OF
Lansing from the cabinet; but it is
really the only feature of the situation
which would come under congressional
scrutiny, and it is not of sufficient con
sequence to neeessitate an inquiry. Con-
gress has bigger things on its hands at
the present time.
However, that does not prevent a
free expression of opinion as to the
.propriety of Lansing's act in calling the
cabinet into conference at time when
Pres. Wilson clearly was not able to
participate. There were grave matters
before the government of the United
States from the time when Wilson was
taken critically i'll during his western
tour last fall, and, manifestly, Wilson
was not in a position to take part in
the direction Of the affairs of the gov
eminent for many weeks. In those
weeks it was a necessity that the heads
Of the various departments, the men
who are supposed to confer aud advise
with the president, should come togeth
er in loyal spirit loyal to the govern
ment of the United Statesl and strive
to formulate ways and means for meet
ing the various situations. In so doing
there might be no effort to usurp the
prerogatives of the president; and, in
deed, there seems to have been no effort
along that line. SO, if the people of
the country were to be called upon to
Judge of the merits of the controversy
between Wilson and Lansing they I'M
doubtedly would coincide in the belief
that Lansing had done nothing more
than what seemed right and proper
under the conditions.
