Mr. Hitchcock of Nebraska Will Pro
pose an Amendment to the Naval
Bill to Provide for Government
oiiht Projjram In tho Senate.
WASHINGTON. Tho houso has tho
naval bill under dobato and at tho
propor tlmo It Is probablo that a rulo
will bo brought In mnklng tho item,
providing for a training station on tho
groat lakes, in order. It la expected
that a contest will ensue over tho
location of tho station.
Notlco has been given by Mr. Hitch
cock (Nob.) that ho will propose an
amendment (o the naval bill, providing
for tho construction of a govcrnmont
armor pinto factory. Tho Indian and

consideration. Monday nnd Tucsdny
Senator Morgan prepared a number
of amendments and If offered thoy

amendments will bo voted down. Thcro
will ho only sixteen or seventeen
votes or pairs against tho ratification
of tho convention. Senator Hoar prob
ably will mako another Bpcech before

Only Small Part of Business Carried
on Under American Flag.
WASHINGTON Tho development
of the Philippines commercially and
Industrially for tho first ulno monthn
of 1903 Is the subject of a special bul
letin by tho bureau of insular affairs.
It la shown that both In imports and
oxports Ihors was an Increase, com
pared with a corresponding poriod in
tho preceding yoar. Heavy exports In
hemp nnd copra offsetting heavy Im
ports of rice, explained the Increase
During tho period named tho Im
ports wero $2G,103,(i01, against $24,
338,322 for 1902. Tho oxports amount
ed to $23,5C3,128, an Increase of near
ly $4,500,000. Tho rice ImportB wero
tho only ones thnt Increased and there
was a falling off In the general trade,
tho United States losing 10 per cent
nnd tho United Kingdom 10 per cent,
whllo Spain has only two-thirds of the
amount of Its trade In 1502.
United States exports Increased
from $7,232,411 to $9,380,030 and the
trade with Spain was practically the
same. But a small part of tho United
States business Is carried under tho
American fing and all but 5 per cent
of tho general trade of the Islands is
dono In foreign bottoms.

NOT CHARGEABLE TO WOMEN.
Shafroth Says Influence of Woman
Suffrage is Good.
WASHINGTON Former Congress
man John L. Shafroth of Colorado,
who resigned his sent uecause of elec
tion frauds in Denver, denies that
these frauds wero committed mainly
by women. In an interview Friday
Mr. Shafroth said:
"Of the persons Implicated, very
few wero women; not more than one
In ton nt tho outside. Frauds wore
committed In tho lowest parts of Den
ver, whoro not many women live. Tho
incident was not characteristic of the
women voting In Colorado and it was
preposterous to mnko it an argument
ngnlnst femnlo suffrage. Everybody
knows there nro bad women as well
as bad men, hut what would any good
man think if it were proposed to tnlco
his voto away from his because some
bad men had cheated at an election?
In Colorado tho women vote as gen
erally as tho men, and fraud is more
raro among them. ' As a rulo. tholr
election methods are honorable and
the influonco of woman suffrago on
tho state has been distinctly for the
good."
ALEXIEFF NOT LOSING FAVOR
Sending of Commander for Army Was
at His-Suggestion.
PARIS. The Echo do Paris' St.
Petersburg correspondent says with
regard to rumors In circulation that
tho appointment of General Kuropat
kin to tho command of the Russian
army In Manchuria meant thnt Vice
roy Alo'-icff was losing favor, and that
tho truth ia as follows: When tho war
broke out the czar asked Viceroy
Alexleff whether ho deemed It neces
sary to send a general to command
tho troops nnd If so, whom ho pre
ferred. Tho viceroy replied that ho
considered It necessary to have a chief
commander or tho land troops but
thnt ho hod no preference as to who
should bo selected. Tho czar there
upon asked him whethor Gonoral Ku
ropatkln would bo ngroeablo. and the
admiral repllod: "Absolutely, but I
beg your majesty to discharge mo
from all responsibility for tho land
operations, loavlng theso to General
Kuropatkln."
Viceroy Aloxleff retains the viceroy
ship, but Gonoral Kuropatkln Is em
ployed to communicate directly with

Moose Jaw, Assinlboia.
Farmers' Review,
Chicago, July 22, 1903.
Most of tho prairies in tho United
States have ceased to exist. Man has
broken them up with orchards, for
ests and farm buildings. But In
Western Canada the prairies still
stretch grandly frra horizon to hori
zon as yet unmarred by the hand of
man, savo where tho iron road has
been laid. To a city man theve is
something dellclously restful about
the vast grassy solitudes.
Numerous clumps of trees mark tho
course of tho Asslnlbolno rlvor, which
keeps In sight of the railroad for soma
distance.
"Grass Is one of the notable things
about all tho landscape of Western
Canada. It Is a remarkable fact that
tho entire length of the Canadian Pa
cific railway from Its eastern termi
nus to tho Rocky Mountains is over
plains where grass grows. Tho sage,
brush appears at some points, but'
never to the exclusion of grass. Thero
is thus not n inllo of this country that
cannot bo used for somo agricultural
purpose; either for tilling or ranch
ing. "Moose Jaw is a town of over 2,000
inhabitants, and ono of the most im
portant places in Assinlboia, being tho
center of a very good farming coun
try and a great grain and stock ship
ping point.
"Near Moose Jaw agriculture and
ranching go hand in hand; for near
tho town was seen a herd of beef
cattle several hundred in number. On
nnother side was scon a good sized
herd of dairy cows, tho property of
tho citizens in tho town.
"In riding over the prairies we saw
many good fields of alfalfa. Tho great
need of the country Is timber, which
grows readily where planted, as was
demonstrated by the shelter belts on
some of thc(farras, and the trees on
tne resilience lots in tne town.
"Stories were told tho writer of
men who last year cleared from their
wheat crop moro than the land on
which it was grown originally cost
them. This is easy to believe, in viow
of the largo crop and high price for
wheat last year." Henry P. Thurston.
By sending your address to any
agent of tho Canadian Government
you will have mailed to you a copy of
nn atlas, railway rates, etc., giving
fullest information regarding Western
Canada.
There are two sides to every story.
The victory you win means defeat for
the other follow.
It Is tho man who plays to tho gal
lery that gets the cheap applause.
Storekeepers report that tho extra
quantity, together with the superior
quality of Defiance Stnreh makes It
next to lmposslblo to tell any other
brand.
Sometimes the breaking of an en
gagement enables tho parties to live
happily ever 'aftor.
