not too
peror clown
to
a
us and a desire
acquainted with AmerUn
methods and to make use In Russia
of the skill and Ingenuity which has
advanced this country with Mich great
strides. For this re:. son there is a
grent opening in Itus-da for American
capital and for the Introduction of
American machinery and methods of
doing business. It is an imrnenso
field, far beyond anything realized by
the people in this country.
"Russia is Just entering an era of
tremendous prosperity, a sort of com
mercial and industrial awakening...
nere is t lie new field for American
enterprise and capital, for with our
Pacific const facilities, the Philippines
and the Transslhorian railroad route,
there is ready access for our goods
Into the very heart of Russia. During
his ministry to Russia Mr. Hitchcok's
personality and splendid business abil
ity did much to stimulate our trade
relations and the e ffect is widespread
and continuous. There is special op
portunity for investments in steel and
Iron industries, cotton mills and for.
the manufacture of machinery and
tools. Then, too, our manufactured
goods will find almost Illimitable mar
kets, although Russia bns a protective
tariff which is encouraging to its own
industries. Still, even with the tariff.
It wants many of our manufactured
goods, such as steel rails, as the home
production is far short of sufficient to
supply the present state of develop
ment. In fact there is hardly a line
of American industry which cannot
find very profitable Investment
throughout Russia. Moreover, Russia
regards American goods as better than
those of any other country, so that
this favorable sentiment invites us
Into these vast new fields.
"People outside of Russia hardly re
alize how nearly completed th Trans
Blberian railway is," continued Mr.
Peirce. '" I was told recentlv bv
Prince Hilkoff, minister of ways of
communication, who has charge of this
treat work, that he expected to make
a trip around the world in forty days
during the coming Paris exposition,
going by the way of the Transtdberian
route, and he had the kindness to ask
me to accompany him on the trip.
Even now the route is almost contin
uous from Moscow to the A moor riv
er and thence to Vladivostok on the
Pacific coast with the exception of a
comparatively short stretch which has
to be covered by post horses. Once
open, this marks almost a commercial
revolution, giving a highway from
western Europe to the Pacific and from
our Pacific coast into the far east and
thence to eastern Europe.
"The road Is so well along that
trains are run out of Moscow which
would astonish even Americans as
models of elegance. These trains not
only have baths, libraries and other
modern equipments, but a complete
gymnasium to beguile the long trip
through Siberia. The original pur
pose of Russia was to make the route
one for military and strategic purpos
es, liking the capital and other large
centers with the naval rendezvous at
Vladlvostock. But now commerce and
travel over the road has quite over
shadowed the strategic purpose and
Russia finds that she has opened a
highway which Is to be one of the
great traffic channels of trade. In
time possibly the route will be di
verted southward through Chinos"
Manchuria, to permit a terminus at
Russia's new and important leasehold
at Port Arthur. Put for the present
Vladlvostock continues to be consider
ed its commercial terminus on the
Pacific."

Word has been received' from
the state department from President
Rchiirmun regarding his trip through
out the Philippine archi;c:ago. Secre
tary Hay authorizes thin formal state
ment: "Dispatched have been receiv
ed by the state department from Presi
dent Si hurman of the Philippine com
mlsHlon. giving a brief account of his
Journey to the southern islands of the
archlpalago. He finds the conditions
on those islands extremely gratifying.
There is a disposition almost every
where south of Luzon to accept Amer
ican Boverelgnty. and to take advan
tage r.f the condition of things which
the American occupation holds out.
President Schurman expects to arrivo
at San Francisco about Amztist 1.".."
As the result of a review of Presi
dent Schurman's dispatch, Secretary
Hay has authorized FJrladier Ceneral
Pates to go to the southern groups to
consult with the sultan of the Sulus
regarding the future of the islands.
The authorities will no divulge the
nature of the instructions to General
Pates, but it is understood there is no
disposition here to infringe upon the
sultan's nuthorlty provided fie ack
nowledges the soveieignty of the I nit
ed states. General Hates will explain
that friendly purposes of this govern
ment, and if necesary wil agree that
tliis government shall pay a small an
nuity as was done by the Spanish government.
President Schurman reported that
the. sultan was quite willing to trans
fer his allegiance on condition that
treaties existing between himself and
pain were respected by the United
States.
It Is further stated by an official
in a position to know, that this gov
ernment intends to establish home
rule at places where it H considered
advisable including the inland of Ne
gros. conditions in which, according
.to President Schurman, are especially
satisfactory.
Immediately upon President Schur
man s arrival at San Francisco, he will
come to Washington, and discuss the
Philippine situation with the presi
dent.

DETROIT, Mich., July 11. The
closing day of the International Chris-
tian Endeavor convention was the
busiest of the week. When the day is
completed there will have been ej-hf
great gatherings, provided the rain,
which began falling just alter the. big
morning meetings assembled, does: not
check operations. The t'-iiiienciCj of
the 'all gathering along educational
and other practical lines has caused
this convention to be called the edu
rationa convention. Its general trend
is conceded to buve been to broaden, as
well as Inspire the young people,
lather than to have led tin in toward
narrow forms of spirituality or intol
erant religious views.
The last quiet hour early morning
service wjs largely attended. "Mis
sions" was the topic in both the great
tents at the morning meetings; for
eign missions in Tent. Endeavor; home j
missions in Tent Willisfon. In tho
former meeting the foreign mission
aries present wore introduced to the
great audience by "Father Emb-avor-er"
Clark. The first address was by
Rev. Dr. A. McLean of (Jk.cinnaf i. His
topic was "The Great Need of Mis- i
sions." j
One of the principual addresses in :
Tent Wi!li:5ton was by Rev C. N. How- 1

Tork in the Brazos flooded district has
Jeen systematized, three -relief trains
leaving Houston ( Galveston and San
Antonio daily. Probably 2U.0O0 negroes
are now being f.d and will need to be
sustained for some time by tin? relief
committee. The water is falling at all
points except, in Brazoria county.
All sorts of estimates are made as to
the amount of cotton loss. An esti
mate of r.n per cent is considered con
servative. Thi will be a money Ioks
of ?". (100,000. The loss sustained by
the destruction of other crops, houses,
fencing, stock and bridges will br
$2.f0O.00O. while the loss to the rail
roads is probably $1,000,000. making a
total of $X.r00.000.
Owing to the exaggerated reports
circulated as to the loss of life in the
recent floods, the News has made a
special effort to secure the. facts from
each county. Reports received from
thirteen counties show a loss of thirty
seven lives from drowning.

LEXINGTON, Ky., July 11. The
republican state convention, which
meets here tomorrow, may be a record
breaker for quick work. The demo- j
cratic state convention at Louisville i
two weeks ago broke the record other
wise, being in session an entire week.
Three candidates for the democratic; J
nomination for governor Goebel, j
Stone and Hardin went into the con-
ventlon, each having about one-third
the delegates.
There are also three candidates for
the republican nomination for gover
norTaylor, Stone and Pratt. Attor
ney General Taylor claims that about
two-thirds of the delegates are in
structed for him. His friends claim
that the delegates for Colonel Stone
and Judge Pratt cannot affect t'.e vote
for Ta.vlor by any combination be
tween themselves or even with candi
dates for the minor places.
Colonel Stone and Judge Tratt are
expected here today and their friends
promise some surprise, but the present
indications are that the Taylor men
will organize the convention and be
able to carry throuph wh:U is ;:nown
as "the Taylor slp.te." Talor is .-ailed
the national administration man, while
t.overnor Uradley and other state ad
ministration men are cor.rid.-red as
favoring some other man. if the re
sults of the county conventions are
ratified, the convention here this week
will be as brief, as the recent conven
tion at Louisville was protracted. Since
both Stone and Pratt were distanced
in the race before the county conven
tions, there have hem efforts to con
centrate on Hon. John W. Ve;k. s or
some other dark horse, but s-i far
those movements have collapsed.

TERRE HAUTE, lie!.. July S. Mar
timer C. Rankin, chairman ef the pop
ulist national central committee, was
Interviewed In regard to vhether the
populists would form a I'e-u'.-.n with the
democrats for the coming national
campaign. Mr. Rankin said that they
would not, for the reason that the
populists will hold their national con
vention our month nrior to that of
either the; democratic or republican
conventions. On this account the pop
ulists will prepare their own platform
and nominate their own candidates.
The time for the national populist con
vention is not determined yet and can
not, be determined until one'of the big
political parties names the ,V.te for Its
convention. Mr. Kaii,in siAted that
he was not willing to say bmch con
cerning tin? party's views for the ap
proaching campaign, as it. had been
tliA desire of the central committee in
leave the other two poliib-a! parties In
the dark as regards its movements and.
plans. However, he state.; that the
party was split, up in IN views, but it
was hoped that, every ore would be
brought to one course hrf ..re the con
vention met.
The populists rf N--brf !:, Mr. Ran
kin said, were in favc.ro;" fv-r'fii. should
they be allowed to nam'- the r.omineo
for ice president on the democratic
ticket. While this mie,lt be allowed
in Nebraska, the other states will by
no means submit to s :ch in action.
I In a woid, the not.uli:.! are sick and
tired of fusion, fn-- i -y l-o found
I that whenever they entered into a fu
I sion with the democrats that the latter
1 party received the benefit, while the
populists were there merely to fill up.
Mr. Rankin stated that the party was
split upon the mrWfer of hoi. ling the
Philippine island i. .-'ome of the mem-
hers of the party connelh-d having
j nothing more to do with t!-ern. while
o1hers were in favor of keeping them,

i they are brought to term?, and then
I make a repnhl'e there. The last idea

(of. and he further vaid In this connec

nies the statement made by the south- ;
