From the opening of Japan to foreign trade that country's trade has Increased ten-fold. The population of the Orient with which we might trade constitutes about one-half the population of the earth. lie discussed the prospective trade with the Chinese people, whom he regarded as more enterprising and better business men than the Japan ese. "Bol the Hand. That Were flared." He paid a high tribute to the Chi nese, saying no people on earth could drive an intelligent Chiuaman out of a commercial proposition. I.ack of ad equate transportation facilities greatly hinders trade. Our trade there is ca pable of infinite development. All the Kuroiean countries go across two oceans to reach that trade, which they greatly desire, while we need cross but one. He gave briefly an idea of the great development In -our trade there in recent years. The first United States cotton w.ent to Japan and China six years ago, lack of transportation having previously prevented its use. Cotton Shlpmrnti Increase. The shipment of cotton has con stantly and greatly Increased every year since, and now his road had been compelled to refuse orders for as much as 20,000 bales of cotton In one month because of the lack of ship ping facilities. The shortest and cheap est route from the cotton fields to the Orient is by way of Puget sound. He told in some detail of the plans now under way - to handle this growing traffic. As low rates can be given across the Facifie from any point in the United States as they now have from New York, via the Suez canal. Where He Would Spend Money.

At the nirriing session of the Trans-Missis- ippi Commercial congress there was spirited discussion on the motion to xpurge from the records oi the con- ress the address of r. B. i'hurber, of New York, who declared there was no such thing as a meat trust. Wil liam Henry Eustis, of Minneapolis, pened the discussion in support of the motion, and charged that the so- alled meat trust was seeking to use ongress to' its own ends. After a eated debate 1 Eustis withdrew the motion to expunge. During the opening meeting of the congress F. B. Thurber, of New York, created a stir by the delivery of a comprehensive address upon the cat tle Industry, asserting that after three months investigation he has been tm- ble to substantiate the charges that there is a "beef trust." His opinion, he lid, is that the large increase in cost of all meats Is due to natural causes, beef irrices having been advanced by the failure of last year's corn crop, nd the consequent Increase of cost in fattening cattle. After speaking exhaustively of the process by which bcf cattle reach the butcher shops Thurber asserted that there Is no meat combine, and that .'olby, the Broadway fXew York) "ar bitrator." is merely a Joint collector of bad debts for packing rms. A number of the delegates took issue with Thur ber on this question and the discussion was quite animated for some time, but the mooted question was as far from settlement as It had been at the start. Later, Delegate Eustis, of Minne apolis, precipitated a lively discussion by. moving that the address by F. B. ThurlKT, In which he declared his non belief in the existence of a "beef trust." be expunged from the minutes of the congress. The debate was par ticipated In by a nuinln-r of delegates and the motion was finally made a spe cial order. Kept Record of HI Cue. . Kansas City, Aug. 21. Dr. S. L.

The officers of the company think that too much steam was generated in the digesters, and this caused the explosion. Money loss. S35.0OO. SCHWAB SETS SAIL: . GOES ABROAD TO REST New York, Aug. 21.

PATIENTS ARE TAKEN BACK Those Who Escaped From Kanka kee Recaptured in Chicago More Mystery. Kankakee, 111., Aug. 21. The au thorities of the insane asylum abso lutely refuse to make public any in formation concerning the capture in Chicago jesterday of the escaped maniacs, Kleidon and Sullivan. They have sent an attendant to bring the patients here, and in doing so have violated precedents they themselves established. A year igo a patient escaped and was apprehended at Ashkum, but the hospital officials declined to send 17 miles for this madman, and in conse quence he was released, and since thMi has not been heard of. This in cident, which is only now brought to public attention, apparently serves as evidence to support the charges wf mismanagement that have been pre ferred .by the reform organizations of Chicago. It would appear fron the facts that if the asylum officials could send fifty-odd .miles for Kiel don and Sullivan, there is small ex euse for their refusal to send for the una tic who escaped to Ashkum, but. the officers decline to offer any ex planation for their x-onduct. 1 he escape of huliivan lias given rise to a question as to whether he really rightly lelongs in the asylum 102 BALLOTS FOR NOMINATION William Hoffman Republican Candi date in Second Iowa Con gressional District.

NOVEL STATE OF FACTS Cnder Which Three Men Have Ilcen Held on it Murder Charge. Chicago, Aug. 21. AftVr an Investi gation by the Chicago poNco extending over a fortnight, ami a two days' cor oner's iuiuest, the authorities are still in doubt whether the body of the mur dered woman in the field at Seventy- fort h and State streets was really that of Minnie Mitchell. Three men stand iccused of complicity in her death and that of Mrs. Anne Bartholin, and are held to the grand jury. Yet Patrolman atson, who found the body, could not ell its sex because of its advanced stage of decomposition. Coroner's 'hysician Springer stated that the body must have laid ten or twelve weeks before the bra in could havelteen absorbed, and that had quick lime been used by the murderer as con- ectured, maggots would not have en tered the "body as was the case. Even the coroner's jury when it ren dered a verdict yesterday recommend ing that Oscar Thompson, Edward Counseluian and John Claffey be held to explain the death, stated only that the body was supposed to be that of Minnie Mitchell. Lieutenant HcalyJ nd W. M. Allen testified that Counsel- man, the intimate friend of Bartholin, had told them the fugitive wanted money with which to pay for a surgical operation on the Mitchell girl at a north side hospital. . . i , . - - KIDNAPER FINALLY CAUGHT Man Who Has Attempted to Steal People Twenty-Five Time.

AH SIN THE TAR Sailors' Union at San Francisco Has a Steamship Com pany "in a Hole." LITTLE ARRANGEMENT CANNOT GO Disbop Potter Disappointed That the Coal Strike Still On Crit icises the Operators. . Washington, Aug. 21. The sailors' union of San Francisco has appealed to the national government to prevent the trans-shipment of a Chinese crew now on its way to San Francisco to the lw steamship Korea, now manned by white sailors and en route to that port. The immigration officials here 'are strongly inclined to the opin ion that if the allegations made by the sailors' union are substantiated the transfer should not be allowed. A telegram, however,- has been sent to San l-rancisco asking for additional information, and a decision will not be made until an answer is received. Statement of Fact In the Case. - It appears that some weks ago the Pacific Mail steamship Peking, en route from China to San Francisco, was disabled at sea, but finally made the port of Kobe. Japan. The Chinese crew was taken off and shipped to San l'ranciseo, where it was to meet the new Pacific Mall steamer Korea, re cently completed at Newport News, Va. It is assumed that the T'ulted States crew now taking the Korea to San Francisco was signed for the sin gle voyage, and that on the ship's arrival there it will be discharged, with a view of reshipplng the Chinese crew from the Peking to make the return voyage to China in the Korea Alt Sin Cannot Even Couie Aahore. The immigration officials state that as the Chinese sailors were signed for the round trip on the Peking their iransier to another vessel would ne cessitate their landing at San Fran cisco, where they must 1k resigned before a United Stales commissioner. This, it is said, undoubtedly would be i violation of the immigration laws. and if the facts are found to be as stated by the sailors' union the ap plication to make the transfer with out doubt will be denied.

GRAIN IN SHOCK IS DAMAGED BY RAINS Springfield, Aug. 20. The rainfall during the w-eek was very heavy in the northern' part of the state, caus ing some damage to grain in shock. and delaying farm work; but over the southern half of the central dis trict and most of the southern dis trict the amount was just sufficient for growing crops. In some few counties of the southern district the drouth continues. The weather was cool, especially at night, except :n the southern district. Plowing for wheat is progressing satisfactorily- except in the northern district where it is being delayed by rain and wet ground. Com is generally in excel lent-condition, though it is making slow growth and is still very green m the northern half of the state, owing to cool and very wet weafher; and dry weather and chinch bugs are causing syjne injury to it in the southern district. Kstimates as to the time when corn will be out of danger by frost vary considerably, but it is believed by most correspond ents thaf the early planted will be safe by Sept. l.", and the late planted by October 1. in the northern and most of the central district; and ear iy planted Sept. 1 and late planted Sept. -1.1, ui the south central and southern districts. - These estimates. correspondents state, are . to a great extent dependent upon the weather, as drv. warm weather would shorten the length of time necessary to mature the crop, and a continuation of the "cool, rainy con ditions in the north- central and northern districts would greatly lengthen it. In the extreme south rn part of the state corn is already ut of danger by frost. The yield of ats has been better than was ex pected, especially in the central dis trict where the yield was quite large ind the quality above the average, flie crop was damaged somewhat in the northern district bv rotting and rowing in shock, and in parts of the southern district bv rust. The yield f wheat was generally good. Hay was damaged some bv wet weather ind much of it was put up in poor omlition. Potatoes will be a large rop, but considerable rotting is re ported. Pastures are very good, but need rain in some parts of the south- rn district. Gardens are generally n good condition. The second crop f clover is "good. Broom corn har- est is in progress and the yield will be about the average. Stock peas re promising a good crop. Grapes re generally in good condition though some damage to them by wet weather is reported in the northern district. There will be a light peach crop in the southern district. The prospect for apples seems to be bet ter than was hitherto reported. This improvement is -marked in the cen tral district where the reports, with few exceptions, indicated a large yield of fine quality. In the northern and southern districts the prospect is not so flattering, though a fair yield is promised. Some damage by j bitter rot is reported from the south ern, district.
