Mlnlater of Agriculture Estimate*
That Hie Aj&reeratc Yield Will

WINNIPEG, Man., Air:. 6.—The report
received In Toronto that the Manitoba
< n p la damaged by rust and heat, that
• itimate Is lowi r< d to
els and that the grain Is shrunken, ha!
received an unqualified denial from all
quarter- here. That there Is some
rust In one or two spots is a fact, as
well as other isolated Instances of dam
age in certain parts, but no crop In the
I has < ver i-<-ou taken off the ground
en Ire.
Nicholas Bawlf, president of the North
en. Elevator company, on behalf of him
self an ! his company, officially denies
that the company sent any wire to To
ronto derogatory to the Manitoba crop
or estimated output. Premier Roblln also
spoke very strongly on the subject, and
condemned the practice of sending un
fourtded telegrams abroad, especially
belittling the present crop.
The Canadian Pacific railroad r<-port
also showa a BplendM crop in Bight, and
out of US telegraphic reports from its
respective western stations only two of
them report rust, and that slight They
wen Elkhorn and Cypress River. One
other, Sewell, mentions slight damage
from grasshoppers, while three others,
Elm Creek, Nestoit* and Rathwell, say
that heavy Btorms lodged the wheat.
only one -branch, Calgary & Bimonton |
road, makes a poor showing; all the
other nine western lines send favorable
reports, with the above slight excep
tions.
H. P. Rotolin, minister of agriculture,
was Bbown a copy of the telegram pur
porting tv have been sent by the North
ern Elevator company, statins; that the
Manitoba crop was ■-< rlously damaged by
heat and rust, and that the yield would
be reduced to 42,000,000 bushels. He ap
peared very much annoyed that so mis
leading and untrue a statement Bhould
be sem east He said that it waa im
possible to judge tlhe motive of the send
ers, but they evidently must have sonic
ax to grind, as no public good could re
sult from a statement so unwarranted
by facts. Mr. Roblin further sa tl that
bis department had been visited within
the last few days by many prominent
farmers from all parts of the province,
ami in aot a single :asc was any state
ment made that would justify the re
port alleged to have, been Special
Inquiries, he Bald, had been made re
garding the way In Which the grain was
ruling up, and it was perfectly satisfac
tory. From the Information In his de
partment U would appear that Manitoba
would have about 50,000,000 bushels of a
wh«»at crop. He reckoned that there were
2,000,000 a^res In wheat, averaging 25
bushels to the acre, ami was the larg
est yield an acre since crop statistics
had been compiled. The crop Is also
ripening under the most favorable con
ditions possible.
Nicholas I'.awlf, of the Northern Ele
vator company, said that he knew noth
ing of the dispatch in question. Neither
he nor the company Bent it. "So f»r as
the company is concerned," tie said, "I
know nothing about it. Tin re is SOmfl
Blighi damage to the crops from rust,
but H is not worth mentioning." Mr.
Bavlf appeared surprised a.i the con
tents of the telegram, in the face of en
couraging reports received from time to
time, and agreed that the report was ex
ited and unfounded.

FARGO, N. D., Aug. 6.—(Special.)—
harvest proceeds disappointment over
wheat yields in this county increases. In
dications now are that instead of a twen
ty-bushel crop in Cass the yield will be
under fifteen, and some assert it will
not exceed twelve. The worst feature is
the fact that the grain is very much off
in grade, and most of it will not go
over No. 2 northern. Damage was done
by tin oe hot days. The si-alk is so lux
i uriant that most people could see no dam-
I age, and thought the crop would still be
I lino. But the grain was caught Just hi
j the dough stage and top and heads were
Shriveled badly. Harvest is about half
! completed in Cass. The western part of
j the county Is in better shape. Reports
i from the northwestern part of the state
are more encouraging, as the crop was
I not so far advanced -when the hot weather
I came.

coßiiw-isisioN
STANDARD OIL /MAN TALKS
Snju the Former Attorney General
of Ohio Is a Perjurer —
sion Has Covered Wide
Ground. i•'
WASHINGTON, Aug-. fi.-A special
committee of the industrial commission
met today to begin woik on the draft
o! the report to be hmrie to congress
at its next session. Several affidavits
wero received and formally accepted by
the committee for inclusion in its re
port.
John B. Archbold, vice president of the
Standard Oil company, in an affidavit
vigorously attacks the affidavits sub-'
milted last June by former Attorney
General P. S. Monnctt, of Ohio; Charles
B. Matthews. M. L. Lockwood and J.
W. Lee, declaring that Mr. Monnttt, in
his reiteration of charges, reflects' on
the purity of the Ohio supreme court
Concerning the charges of attempted
bribery of Air. Monnett by the Standard
Oil company, he characterizes as false
Mr. Monnett's statement that "Instead
of the trust courting investigation they
deliberately evaded and suppressed an
investigation of these proper charges"
He says Mr. Monnelt did glv« notice that
he would take testimony before a notary
public, "a proceeding he knew to be Il
legal, preposterous and contemptuous."
Concerning: Mr,. Monnetfs testimony
charging tho Standard Oil company with
burning its books, Mr. An-hbold's affi
davit says: "There was in his evidence
both suppression of truth and suggestion
of falsehood; and now, after two years
granted for reflection and repentance
thoroughly discredited by the records of
the court ho represented, he again re
turns to the charge in his affidavit filed
before the commission In June, 1901, pre
tending he has found new evidence I
leave him face to face with the record,
that tho commission may judge."
Daniel R. Hayne, general sofloitor of
the Merchants' and Miners' Transporta
tion company, In a communication in
cluded in the report, recomuifnds an net
of congress specifically covering the buy
ing, receiving and scllMng of any money"
goods, bank notes or other things which
may bo stolen or taken feloniously.
TELEPHONES AND TELEGRAPHS.
E. J .Hall, vice president and general
manager of the American Telegraph and
Telephone company, submits an affidavit
concerning telephone conditions. He says
the charges for the service are hlgner
in this country than in Europe, but that
a failr comparison is almost Impossible
because of the many differences between
tho services here and abroad. The great
est single factor, he sayn_ is the com
paratively low cost of labor in Europe
He puts the United States in the lead
in telephone development. Next to thJ3
country in the number of telephone sta
tions are Germany, with 22:t,391; Great
Britain, 171,(WO; Sweden, 73,500- France
50,927; Switzerland, 38,864; Austria, 32,25G:
Russia, 81,376, and Norway, 23,446.
A supplementary affidavit ' made by
Prof. Frank Parsons, of iToKton, Is de
signed to refute the testimony of Vice
President Clark, of the Western
Union Telegraph company, and Gen
eral Manager Bethel, of the New York
Telephone company. He charges that the
Western Union is overcapitalized and
submits detailed figures from official re
ports to support his charge. The aver
age actual receipts for all telegraph mes
sages in England, according to him, are
35 cents, as compared with 37 cents in the
United States. He claims fhat com
parisons as to the relative extension of
the use ov the telephono under private
ownership in the United States, com
pared with that abroad, are misleading,
being based on carefully selected cities
Romyn Hitchcock, a Now York civil
engineer, in one of the affidavits, ad
vocates a government postal telegraph,
declaring that the present system pre.!
vents improvements in methods and re
duction of charges to the public.

TO DEFEAT GORMAN
IS THE I'RIME END AAD AIM OF
THE HEl'l BMiCAIV PARTY
IN MARYLAM)
DENOUNCE THE WICKED DEMS
Speeches of Leaders Berate the Oji>
- position for Us Course on the
Exclusion of the Illit
erate Vote.
BALTIMORE, Md., Aug. fi.—The Re
publican sate convention held here to
day placed In nomination the following
ticket:
Foh State Comptroller—Hermann S.
Plait, Of Baltimore city.
For Clerk of ihe Court of Appeals-
Thomas J'arran, of Calvert county.
Both nominations were made: by accla
mation, no other names coming before
the convention. Interest, therefore, cen
tered mainly In the platform and the
speeches, all of which teemed with de
rumci'atlon <.f Democracy in general and
former United States Senator Gorman in
particular. The "white supremacy" Issue
raised by the Democrats In the platform
adopted by them at la«t week's conven
tion was ignored In that upon which the
Republican candidates will stand, but it
came in for its unfavorable mention in
the speeches. Phillips Lee Goldsborough,
chairman of the Republican state central
committee, indicated clearly the course to
be pursued by his party in the coming
fight with regard to this issue iv his
op< ning address to the convention, say
ing:
"To the cry that this a white man's
State, we answer that the negro bogy will
scare no man. It is disgusting but hu
morous; it i» the sham and fraud; tt is
without force. The suggestion that more
than oO p< r cent of the white population
of the state is in jeopardy, from any
standpoint, from the less than 20 per cent
of negro population, is an insult to a
lira vi- and intelligent people, who are
justly proud of the glory of their state.
There has never been a time when there
has not been a white man's government
in Maryland, and as the percentage of
colored people has steadily decreased in
the stale < ach decade, since 1810, when it
was U5..2 per cfnt, to the present time,
when it is but Ut.TS per cent, the puerility
and absurdity of crying aloud a white
man's government is apparent."
THE PIjATFORM.
The platform is the work of United
States Senator McComas and Phillips Leo
Goldsborough, chairman of the state cen
tral committee, who Is regarded as a
promising candidate for the seat of Sen
ator Wellington in the event of Repub
lican success. Unlike the Democratic dec
laration of principles made last week,
much stress is made upon national issues.
The administration of President McKin
ley is heartily indorsed, the policy of the
Republican party on the tariff, the cur
rency and other vital questions of na
tional moment is vigorously commended,
while that of the Democrats of the state
is quite as vigorously denounced. Gov.
Smith comes in for a full measure of
condemnation, for having called the spe
cial session of the legislature which was
held in the spring of this year, while the
party which placed him in office was
soundly berated for passing the new elec
tion laws.
The plank which is supposed to espe
cially refer to Mr. Gorman is as follows:
AGAINST GORMAN.
'•We appeal to all good citizens to unite
in defeating the selfish political bosses
in their conspiracy, begun with the extra
session, to perpetuate themselves and
their methods by one-sided elections, and
to thwart the first purpose of that con
spivaov by defeating the election to the
United States senate of the Democratic
leader who dictated the disfranchising
election law to the servile assembly.
Their victory would again fasten upon
our state- the reign of corruption and vio
lence overthrown In 1805. and enable
them to retrench themselves for a gen
eration behind a far worse disfranchis
ing (lection law than the unAmerkan
law we are pledged to repeal.
"If we succeed, we will defeat the elec
tion to the United States senate of a
man whose views on tariff and finance
fluctuate with political exigencies, Who
Is stable only in unvarying control of the
Democratic party machine."
Other planks pledge the party repre
sentatives in congress to uphold the pol
icy of President McKinley, promise that
the Republicans, if put in control of the
legislature, will immediately repeal the
new election law and re-enact the one
in force prior to the recent special ses
sion of the legislature; to pass laws to
prevent corrupt practices in elections; to
regulate primary elections; to take pub
lic schools and the police department
out of politics; to suppress all combina
tions of trade which are Intended to
create a monopoly; to amend the present
oyster laws, so as to provide for the re
plenishment and revival of the barren
oyster .beds at public expense, and to se.
cure to oyster men and crabbers full
rights and privileges on those beds.
COMMISSIONER IS SMALL. FRY,

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.—The comp
troller of the treasury today rendered an
opinion refusing to allow a claim for ex- ;
I pen'scs incurred in the apprehension of a !
i person whose arrrst was ordered by a |
] United States commissioner for contempt
j of his court. The comptroller holds that
i a "United States commissioner is wholly
I without jurisdiction to punish for con- I

liability upon the United States for fees I
