ELKINS PRAISES
HENRY G. PH IS
Son-in-law of Democratic Nom
inee Says Republicans*Will
Not Be Beguiled.
Wheeling, W. Va,,..July 14.The
republican state convention last night
nominated William O Dawson fox'
governor after some lively skirmish
ing on the part of the opposing Teetei
faction The convention was a notable
one for the fact that the temporary
chairman was Stephefc. B. Elkins, a
son-in-law of Henry G. Davis, the
democratic nominee for*vice president
The senator made an extended
speech, during which he referred to
the nomination of his father-in-law
in the following words
The democratic party its desire
to capture the state has nominated for
president one of our most distin
guished citizens and the foremost
democrat in the state, but in this, as
in most everything else, the democrats
made a mistake
*'Senator Davis, to whom I ana so
nearly related, and for horn I cherish
feelings of the highest regard, ad
miration, and affection, is a man of
affairs and an experienced statesman,
having served his state cieditably in
the senate for twelve years With
these qualifications and this fitness he
should have been named for the first
place instead of a man without a rec

experience

CANADIAN NORTHWEST CROPS
UP TO DATE.
Recoi'd-Breaking Production Possible,
but the Weather of the Next -Two
Weeks Will Make the CropToo
Wet In Some Districts and Too Dry
in Others-Northwest Territories
May Be Pulled Down.
Speoial to The Journal.
Winnipeg, Man July 14 The next two
weeks will practically go a long way to
ward deciding what the real nature of
this 5 ear wheat crop in Manitoba and
the Canadian northw est will be In a ma
jority of places it has reached a stage
where either too much moisture or too
little would be equally disastrous and
from now until thp critical period has
passed is an anxious spell for farming and
commercial interests of this portion of the
west It is generally conceded bj those
competent to judge that the crop this sea
son cannot be woise than a fair jield If
there is abundance of rain for the next
two weeks it wiJ be a recoid yield and
with the -vast area under sulthatlon the
quantity of wheat laised will far surpass
that of any pre\ious season The most
salient feature of conditions is that on
account of heavj rains in the spring and
the prolonged cold spell at the beginning
of the season, farmers in nearly the whole
of the west were late in getting their seed
into the ground When growing weather
did commence ^egetation grew rapidly
and considering the length of time that
the grain has been in the earth the de
\elopment has been l^markable The
latest crop bulletins issued by the Ca
nadian Pacific and Canadian Northern
railwajs are the most exhausthe -vet pub
lished and while there are numerous
places in which drought has been the
feature of the week there has been \e
little actual damage to giain Reports
of weather conditions state that ihowers
were general vesterday afternoon and
evening thru Manitoba and the territories
with the result that present apprehension
has practically been nullified In a ma
jority of sections wheat is beginning to
head out and in some places the head has
aheady appeared The straw is sturdy
and will support a hea-\ 3 ield The height
is now from fourteen to thirty inches
According to the latest bulletin of the
Canadian Pacific road of nineteen repre
sentatl-ve places on the Manitoba &
Noithwestern branch fifteen report fa
\orabl\ while the other four stated that
ram was needed tho no actual damage
had vet been done On the Pembina
branch the tenor of the report was to the
effect that the crop was looking well and
conditions were favorable except that it
was a little diy a few sections In a
majority of cases the giain was heading
out Along the Glenboro branch rain had
been plentiful and prospects are brilliant
for a heav crop Twentj-two places
reported comprise'a "sery thickly popu
lated section of the province where a
great deal of wheat is raised The Soo
line and Prince Albert branches take in a
section of the west wheic dry weather
is the worst menace Halbilte and North
Portal said that grain is being damaged
Around Saskatoon there is also need of
moisture On the main line from Portage
la Prairie to Regma the prospects are
splendid In southern Manitoba the crop
will be heavy At Moose Jaw, in the ter
ritories, grain is growing well, tho rain is
needed
In general the success of the crop In
Manitoba is assured while on lighter ana

STRIKE COSTLY TO RAILROADS
Fresh-Meat Shipments Worth $20,000
Daily to Chicago Lines.
Chicago, July 14 From a financial
viewpoint, probably no one outside
interest is more seriously affected by
the stockyards strike than the rail
roads, particularly the lines operat
ing east from Chicago Fresh meat
is one of the heavy articles of ship
ment east from here, and it takes a
higher rate than almost any other class
of freight An average of 200 carloads
of fresh meat is shipped from Chi
cago to eastern points and for ex
port every day The remuneration
to the railroads averages $100 a car
the rate being 45 cents a hundred
pounds The business is pretty even
ly divided among the ten competing
lines and amounts to $20,000 a day
to the ten railroads Officers of the
east-bound roads say that there has
been a material falling off in meat
shipments.
Beyond a distance of 200 miles
there is not much fresh meat shipped
west from Chicago, the western mar
kets being supplied by the Missouri
river packinghouses.

BOER PRESIDENT^
KRUGER IS DEAD
Continued From- First Page.
He avoided references to the Boer
war, but when it was occasionally
mentioned he showed JIO resentment,
and expressed the belief that "Provi
dence would eventually render justice
to the Boer cause
The autopsy showed senile pneu
monia caused by sclerosis of the
arteries.
Stephanus Johamies Paulus -Kruger was
a native of Cape Colony, having been
born at Colesberg Oct 10, 1825 At the
age of 11 he accompanied his parents on
the "great trek" of the Boers from Che
colony, a movement which resulted in
the colonization by Boers of Natal, the
Orange Free State and the Transvaal
Kruger and his parents stayed for a time
in the Orange Free State, but later moved
across the Vaal
At 16 Kruger was an assistant to a
field cornet and soon after he became
a cornet himself From that time he was
constantly connected with the military
or civil government of the Transvaal his
force of character gradually bringing him
to the front
In 1863 he became commandant general
and as such put down several civil feuds
and defeated the Basutos a native tribe
When the Transvaal was annexed to
the British territories Kruger was \ico
president under President Burgers Upon
the reoiganization of the Boer govern
ment by the national committee in 1880,
he again assumed the office of vice presi
dent, taking a leading part in the war
of 1880-81 with Great Britain He was
elected president in 1883, and re-elected
in 1888 1893 and 1898

the South African Republic This gave
him almost unlimited authority among
his people
Discoveries of gold brought in great
numbers of foreigners The Boers deter
mined to resist foreign aggression and
the Uitlanders complained of injustice on
the part of the Boers The British South
African company also entered as a dis
turbing element The Jameson raid of
December 1895 was the immediate crisis,
but it was quickly checked by the Boers
The Jameson raid led the Boers to pre
pare for an even greater struggle which
they felt was inevitable with England
Military stores were rapidly accumulated
Kruger directed the diplomacy preceding
the war with England with great skill,
but a struggle could not be averted
Kruger remained in his country until
the fall of Pretoria, June 5, 1900 when
he fled to Portuguese territory and thence
to Europe hoping to enlist the aid ofRussian
some of the powers there for the Boers
He made his home in Holland In 1901
he planned to come to the United States
but, on being informed that the president
would receive him in an unofficial man

Some of the forts at Port Arthur
are protected by ditches foui and five
fathoms deep, hewn out of the solid
rock Whole regiments could easily

Fighting at Ta-tche-kiao.
It is not improbable that fighting is
now progressing at Ta-tehe-kiao, as
advices show that the Japan
ese were within a few miles of that
place, coming up in two columns from
the south on each side of the railroad
and in two columns from the east on
the Siu-yen roads
The extent of the Russian resis
tance will probably be determined by
the character of General Kuroki's
and General Nodzu's advances on Hai
cheng A large force of Japanese
within striking distance of Hai-cheng
would render it impossible for the
Russian commander-in-chief to re
main at Ta-tche-kiao, in which event
there will be a fight at Hai-cheng, the
result of which will be much more im
portant than the recent engagement
at Kai-chou
The general staff denies that the
Russians were driven out of their en
trenchments at Sikseyan, or that se
vere fighting occurred at that place
General Sakharoff reports that
Japanese cavalry advancing July 12
toward Niu-chuang encountered Rus
sian cavalry and that a slight skirmish
followed
