BEHDJI STILL * HAS A CHANGE Oongrtilkan StBenerson Persuades the President to Interfere in. e Land Office Contest. Commissioner Biohards Is Ordered to , f Make an Investigation and . I",- . Keport to. the President. From The Journal Bureau, Room 45, Peat Build r ing, Washington. , * Washington, June 26.Whether the new land office in northern Minnesota shall be located at Cass Lake or at Bemidji Is still an open question a very wide open ques tion, In fact. President Roosevelt, this morning, after an interview with Repre sentative Steenerson and L. H. Bailey, an attorney from Bemidjl, dictated a letter to Commissioner Richards at the general land office, in the presence of Messrs. Steenerson and Bailey, in which he ad vised that the question of the location of the new office should be carefully inquired Into by Richards, who, he said, should se cure all available evidence, written and oral, and then recommend one town or the other as the evidence may warrant. This recommendation is to be forwarded to the president, who will review it and make a final decision. This is a great victory for the Bemidjl people, in view of Commissioner. Richards' action in definitely locating the office at Cass Lake, and thus, as many supposed, finally disposing of the matter. Mr. Steen erson feels jubilant over the success of his visit to the president, and will return home to prepare for the hearing before Mr. Richards, which will come in a month or two, probably. Whether Bemidjl will ultimately secure the land office or not he (does not know, but he says the people of that town are perfectly willing to sub mit their case on its merits and abide by the president's decision, based on a full inquiry Into all the facts as to the con venience of settlers, railroad lines, etc. Orginally there were some matters of patronage connected with the case, and these may have had something to do with the early victory of Cass Lake. Mr. , Steenerson, however, announces that he is entirely willing to permit the newly appointed officers of the new district to serve. He has no candidates to take their places, and will not bring the question of patronage into the controversy. *U1 he wants is that the land office Itself shall be at* Bemidjl. Before .starting for home it is probable that Messrs. Steenerson and Bailey will make a flying trip to Old Point Comfort by boat from Washington. Judge Page Morris, after visiting in Virginia and attending the commencement exercises of his alma mater there, will start for Duluth to-night. He is all ready to begin his work as federal district judge next Wednesday. A New Ped Lake Treaty. Representative Steenerson this after noon called on Secretary Hitchcock to talk about the Red Lake treaty. It Is the opinion of Senator Clapp that it would be a good plan for the interior department during the summer season to see what can be done towards securing a new treaty with the Indians so it can be made a basis for action in.congress next winter. He is satisfied, apparently, that the present treaty will not be ratified. Mr. Steener son took this matter up with Secretary Hitchcock late to-day at Senator Clapp'a suggestion. - ' --- m 2 ^s,% * v. - *,***t , J^if e^ FRIDAY EVENING,. Architectural Competition. Some time ago Assistant Secretary Tay lor decided he would take advantage of the so-called Tarsney act which provides for the competition of private architects in drawing plans for public buildings. Among the new buildings to be erected and which Mr. Taylor decided to give to private architects for competition, was the federal building at Superior, Wis., and several Minnesota architects were invited to compete. Thus far these two have signified their willingness to enter the competition, namely Radcliffe & Scoville of Duluth and Messrs. Ferry &. Clas of Milwaukee, e X "., The Snelllng Groggerles. ."I , The war department officials received copies to-day of last Saturday's and Mon day's Journal, containing articles re garding the saloons at the St. Paul end of the Snelling bridge. The articles will be forwarded to Colonel Pond at Fort Snelllng, with the request that he make an Immediate report on the conditions as aet forth in The Journal. * W. W. Jermane. CONCILIATION BOARD It Perfects an Organization and Adopts Rules. ^l Wilkesbarre, Pa., June 26.The con ciliation board organized yesterday by the selection of W. L. Connell as president and T. D. Nicholls as secretary. In order that matters for settlement may be properly brought before the board, rules were adopted instructing em ployes who may have grievances to sub jnit them to their foreman for adjustment. Should this prove unsatisfactory, an at tempt is to be made to secure an adjust ment from the nine managers, in which the board will act to effect a union of interest between the two sides. Com plaints must first be referred to that mem -ber of the board representing the dis trict affected, and no complaints will be entertained unless the men urging It shall - remain at work pending the action of the ^jjboard. !': * ,. r BREAKS THE RECORD ^Chicago Plant Turns Out 1,884 Tons v* of Rails in One Day. ^-Jf Chicago, June 26.The South Chicago v ..plant of the Illinois Steel .company yes -*terday turned out 1,88 tons k jbreakin g the world's4 recordof , whic has /JJbeen 1,772 for a day's work. k-'K In celebration of tho successful day the M^i'coropany presented every man in the rail ^ department with a box of cigars After being away from the old home for years folks sometimes go back and find some surprising changes.

Now we use Postum exclusively In our family, and hus band and the children enjoy the -fine drink as, much as I do and we are well. "There is a lady living near us who had been sick for years*, doctoring all the time and not getting a*ny better.

Distrihu-j ing Point for China, Art Ei- From The Journal Bureau, Boom 45, Boat Build ing:, "Washington,. , . ^ Washington, June 26.The popular ity of American flour In China is attracting : attention on . both sides of the globe. The British consul general at Canton, in a report sent from China to London and bubHshed in that city, states that the .demand for flour,among emi grants returned from the United?States! is-so,great that the quantity of -flqjir(imr:: ported in.' 1902 exceeded that oflSOl by1 95,831,328 pounds, and was also some 78,400,000 pounds in excess of the average for the past five years.. _ , . ^ . . ..' These figures'of increase" in Chinese 'con sumption of flour are justified by the figures of the treasury bureau of statistics showing exportations of flour to China and adjacent ports. Indeed, It is only when the shipments-to the ports adjacent to China are considered that the rapidity of increase in exports of flour to that part of the world is realized. To China alone, the exports of American flour have growjh from 13,718 barrels ln 1892 to 99.624 bar rels in 1902/ This increase of 85,906 bar rels 13 small, however,* compared with the increase in the shipments to Hongkong, from which point most of the flour thei-e received is distributed to the various ports of China. -.-,- -... " The exports of American flour to Hong kong in 1892 were 457,690 barrels, and In 1902, 1,398,893 barrels, an Increase of 941 - 203 barrels. To Russian China, the exports of 4pnerican flour, which began in. 1900, were 16,587 barrels, and in 1902, - 50,140 barrels. To British China the flour ex ports were 375 barrels. ''.-. Grouping the three statements of ex ports of flour from the United, States to China, to Hongkong and to Russian and British China, the total for 1902 stands at 471.408 barrels, and for 1902, 1,549,032 bar rels. This shows an Increase of over 200 per cent in the exportation of Americain flour to - China and to ports contributing to the consumption of China, while the to tal exportation e flour in the same years was, in 1892, 15,196,769 barrels, and in 1902, 17,759,203 barrels, an increase of about 15 per - cent-.-" Value Was $4,606,739. From the standpoint of dollars, it may be added that the value of American flour shipped to China grewfrom $67,441 in 1892 to $291,25j in 1902 to Hongkong, from $2,140,071 In If 92 to $4,164,693 in 1902, while the shipments to Russian China in 1902 were $149,669. and to British China. $1,125. making the tctal value of flour shipped from the United States to China and con tiguous ports $2,207,512 in 1892 and $4,606,- 739 in 1902 , while the total value of all flour exported from the United States in the same, period fell from $75,862,283 in 1892 to $65,661,974 m 1902. ' The above figures cover simply the years 1892 and 1902, since the fiscal year 1903 is not yet sufficiently 'completed to enable a comparison of ltd figures with those qf completed .years of an earlier date. The bureau of statistic*s figures for ten months, however, show a slight reduction In the quantity of flour shipped to China" ajid Hongkong, but a. marked increase in the quantity shipped to Russian China whfle the total value for the year 1903 will con siderably exceed that of 1902. The exports of American flour-to China, Hongkong and Russian China in the ten months ending with April, 1902, amounted to 1,486.047 barrels, valued at $4,423,692, and in ten months of 1903 to-1,437,472 bar rels, valued at $4,676,491. This slight re duction in the totar quantity shipped is apparently due to the fact that the ship ments of 1902 were somewhat "above the normal, by reason Of: the very light impor tations of flour in 1901 during the war pe riod m China. - '3^ .i' Rome, June 26.The ceremony of con ferring palliums on the new archbishops and bishops took place to-day in the pri vate chapel at the-.. residence of Cardinal Liulgl Macchi, dean of the cardinal dea cons and secretary of apostolic briefs.

At tending, as it did, however, a persistent advance in wheat, the more experienced brokers were not taken unawares, altno a majority of the jobbers and bakers found themselves uncomfortably short of the necessary commodity.
