All nations, Mr. Bingham says, are awaiting this coming trade and are preparing for it b establishing direct lints of ocean transportation, except the United States, which, barring an occasional freight steamer, has no di rect connection with "Cape Colony. The United .States, he says, ships to Cape Cf lony more than twice as much goods as any other country, except Great Britain. "As British subjects will have a great war debt to pay," says the con sul, "they very naturally think that the trade of South Africa belongs to them and will leave nothing undone to retain it. We cannot always depend solely on the superior quality of our goods. Greater effort on our part is necesrary. MAKE WNR ON TKE SHEEPMEN. Cheyenne, fryo., July ,2J. A, special from Lander, sas Fheepirrtepjaire hav ing a hard time of it in -jvestern-cen-tral Wyoming, ' At Atlantic City a party of miners took possession of a band of sheep owned by William Scar let and j drove the animals-across the Indian trail to Twin Creek. The min ers were armed with pistols and rifles and covered the herders while moving the sheep. No violence was attempted. Scarlet had been warned not to cross the dead line and enter the mining camps, but he ignored the miners. No further trouble is anticipated here.' Se rious trouble Is imrrfinent-in the "New Fork country , south of Lander. It is alleged .that the camp outfits of Jew ell '& Wipper.of Rock Springs were burned a few days, ago and the sheep badly scattered. A large gang of cat tlemen of the New Fork country moved down' on the sheep camp and after driving the herders away committed the depredation. The sheep werg over the dead line and their owners had been repeatedly warned to stay out of the cattle country. The sheepmen have threatened to retaliate and tiiere may be bloodshed. M UNITED STATES IS NOT ASKED. Washington, D. C, July 21. The government of the United States has not received an invitation to partici pate In the antl-trust conference pro posed .by the csar. The government was not concerned officially In the In ternational sugar conference at Brus sels, to which the projected conference is a" natural supplement. Therefore it is not eblieved that it3 participation in this is expected. However, it would be clearly Impos sible for the United States government to enter into any undertaking with foreign governmentsi concerning such important matters as trade regulations rfhd especially involving an Interna tional regulation of tariffs in some measure. It is felt that congress would never surrender any part of its constitution al authority to regulate these matters, so that even If the United States should attend the prqjected conference through a proper representative no ac tion could be taken that. would in the slightest sense bind the government.

' Strika Was Expensive 1o Business Men, Costing in Naighborhood of $10,000,000. Chicago, July IS. (Special.) Renew ed activity on the part of Chicago busl ness men followed the settlement of the freight handlers' and the teamsters strike and at the. close of . business hours for the day thousands of tons of freight had been sent to and from the various freight depots. Kvery one of the 24,000 strikers who could obtain employment had returned to work by 2 o'clock in the afternoon. The strike, it is estimated, cost the business men of Chicago J10.000.000 and in order to guard against a contingency in the .u ture they, are preparing to Inaugurate an educational campaign in opposition to the sy'mpsrtrTetic-Vtrike. The labor unions will be atked to forego the uSTT!f ' tMs impotent wca pon. . Business' interests which suffered during the strike will Join in pledging themselves, If is said, not to sign un ion agreements which dc not guard them against these strikes. On the other hand the labor unions are fighting to secure the right to abro gate agreements for the purpose of or. dering sympathetic strikes. The freight handlers blame the na tional officers of the teamsters for the loss of the strike. They declare that the strike shews the necessity for In eorporatlng in all agreements a reser vation which will permit strikes. ' Credit forhe settlement" Vests with the state'boafcr of arbitration. ' It was 'the adoption of the suggestlort of that board whlch led to the action of: the freight handlers' union in declaring the struggle with. the railroads at an, end At the same time it is probable that even had the state board not made its suggestions, the fight would have been practically over, as the majority of the freight handlers had returned to their work before the mass meeting at which the strike was called off officially had convened. It v. as a knowledge of this fact that had much to do with the ac tion taken by the union. However, the proposition made by the state board of arbitration enabled the freight han dlers to retire gracefully from the field. After ten days of strike the Chicago freight handlers' strike terminated in an unqualified victory for -the rail roads. A meeting of the strikers, pre sided over by President Curran, result ed In an almost unanimous vote to re turn to work, leaving. the wage scale and other questions for settlement be tween the men and their respective roads. ' At the conclusion of the meeting the strikers went by hundreds to the ware houses to apply for their old positions, and the teamsters who have remained out in sympathy again took us their reins. By noon Immense quantities of freight which had been held back for days was being rushed to the railroads or taken from warehouses and cars. Wrhere stagnation had ruled commer cial activity again reigned. Chicago merchants express unbound ed relief at the termination of hostili ties, but they are scarcely less happy than the men themselves, although the strike is. estimated to have cost thr-m $10,000,000, to say nothing of the trade that had beifh permanently lost to them. RUSSIA'S PLAN TO DEAL WITH TRUSTS London. (Special.) Details of an im portant move by Itussia, which have evidently been suppressed hitherto by the censor, have transpired in London. This move is no less than a proposal by the Imperial government for an in ternational conference to deal with trusts. - " Baron de Rtaal.

Washington, V. C Consul General Masun at Frankfort reports to the state department the text of the regu Iations governing the me-at inspection laws of Germany, which Is of vital In tert-st to meat packers of this country, Aftera thiniugh discussion of theva rious pijfUgiiiphs of the bill relating to the Imnoiiatlon of meats and meat producing animals into Germany, Con sul General Mason says: "Although the principal features ul the law have long been made familiar through consulifr'and press reports, i brief resume of some of Its more 1m portant provisions, especially those which will affect the importation of meats and animals, may be of present interest. Under paragraph 12, fresh meats can only be Imported In whole carcasses. Carcasses of cattle and hogs, but not of calves, may be spilt in half, but the halves are to be left to gether and accompanied in all cases by the head, lungs, heart and kidneys. Cow btc-f must have the udder at tached and carcasses of pork must in clude the tongue. Excepting hams, ba con and intestines, no piece of pickled smoked or otherwise preserved meat weighing less than S.8 pounds may be Imported Into Germany. When to all this Is added the' prohl6llion of meats preserved with "borax or boraclc acid, or with any of several other antisep tic salts, it will be evident that the net effect of the new system will be to more or less diminish the supply and increase the cost of meats for con sumption In this country. Already some premonitory symptoms of such Influ ence are noticed. MEAT FAMINE IN SIGHT. 'The Berliner Tageblatt makes the following comment: "The meat inspec tion law throws its shadow before a meat famine is in eight. Old stocks of preserved meats have become exhaust ed, and tlje countries which formerly supplied Germany with meats have for the most part' found other hiarkets, and our import 'of cattle and fresh meats is steadily diminishing. Ham burg, and Berlin have this .week en joyed a foretaste of what. will happen when the meat inspection law shall have entered into full force. It oc curred at Hamburg on Saturday, June 14, that many butchers had no beef to sell because Denmark had sent ' very few cattle and because the rest of Germany and Austria tiad . furnished only a meager supply for part of the week. Berlin had to pay on Saturday at the cattle market, for the lew available animals that were to be had, actual famine prices.' " 6ENERAL JACOB SMITH IS RETIRED. Washington, D. C Secretary Root brought from Oyster Bay the case of General Jacob H. Smith, tried by court martial at Manila on account of or ders issued to Major Waller. General Smith was found guilty; of the charges by the court and sentenced to be admonished by the reviewing au thority. The president has so admon- she;d General Smith and retired him under the law which provides that of ficers having reached the age of 62 years may be retired at will by the president. Secretary Root supplements the rep rimand of President Roosevelt In a long circular, in which he explains the conditions which resulted In the court- martial of General Smith and shows hat, although Smith issued the '.'kill and burn" order, as a matter of fatet very few persons were killed as a re sult of that orde'r, the casualties being confined almost wholly to the eleven natives killed under Major Waller's direction. THE DREAM OF CECIL RHODES. Washington, D. C Before many ears the world may be astonished to find that the long foufered dream of the late Cecil Rhodes for the opening up of the Dark Continent has become a reality, and that a consecutive line f steel-rails will stretch from Cairo o Cape Town.

Miners la CoMHtion Practically- Decide Hot Tb Wa h Out. - President Mitchell of the Minora' Union Assumes Conservative . Attitude in Mooting. - Indianapolis, Ind. (Special.) If the voice and influence of President Mitch ell of the United Mine Woikers pre vail with the members of his organ ization there will be no general strike of the organization. In his speech In the convention Mr. Mitchell advised strongly against a strike and urged that the bituminous miners continue at work and that a system of assess ment upon the members of the order, which he outlined, be carried Into ef fect as the best means of affording aid and support of the striking an thracite men in, the eas.t. His recommendations would hae settled the entire question for which the convention was called and an im mediate adjournment would have fol lowed. A motion to adopt the sugges tions of President Mitchell provoked a long debate, In which the general sen tlment was against the ordering of the strike. The men from the anthracite regions finally made a request that they be allowed to hold a caucus to determine upon an expression of c-pln Ion as to what they thought the con vention should do, and asked an ad journment of the convention for this purpose. Their request was granted and the adjournment taken. The men who were in .favor of a strike were In a decided minority In the convention. CONVENTION CALLED TO ORDER The hour for calling he convention was 19 o'clock. At ten minutes before that time President Mitchell came upon the platform and was greeted with cheers. Secretary Wilson, following close after, shared the applause.Prompt to the second, president Mitchell brought down his gavel, saying: "The hour of 10 o'clock having arrived, the convention will be in order." Secre tary Wilson then read the call for the convention and President Mitchell call ed for the report of the committee on credentials. The reading of this by Michael McTaggart of the committee consumed much time, as the report contained the name of every delegate, with a statement of the number of votes possessed by each man. JJelegate Campbell, a colored man from Kentucky, moved the acceptance of the report and the continuation of Ihe committee. This was done and the convention adjourned until 1:30 p. m. When the convention met In the aft ernoon a motion was made and carried that the convention go at once Into executive session. John P. Reese of Iowa moved a reconsideration of the vote by which this action was taken. He declared secret sessions undesir- ble. The speech of Mr. Reese In support of his motion carried the day, the vote was reconsidered and it was decided that the meetings of the convention would be open to the public. STRIKE OUT OF THE QUESTION. The" action of the caucuses makes a geneTilstrike practically out of the question, as the anthracite men can not carry their point without the aid of Illinois, and with - that state and Iowa and Ohio against them there-is no apparent manner In which a strike can be ordered. The meeting of the anthracite min ers held after the adjournment of the convention resulted In nothing but the conclusion that there was no way In which a strike could be forced and that those members of the anthracite districts who were anxious for a strike would be disappointed. There was a long conference and a vote was de cided upon, but when it was partially taken It was Been that the result would be ro "strong In upholding the recommendations of President Mitchell that the vote was not- considered. While there is an element among the anthracite men that Is greatly disap pointed It Is not.;, likely that . any fight will be made upon the floor of the convention.

(Special ) The Union Pa cific Railroad company announces a plan for financing the balance of the purchases of Northern and Southern Pacific shares. A year and a half ago the exnslve purchases of Northern Pacific stoe k -were made in the Inter est of. the Union Pacific company and the shares acquired were vested In the Oregon Short Line company. They now consist of Northern Securities stock, for which the Northern Pacific shares have been exchanged.,- Since that time the Union Pacific company has also increased its hold ings of Southern Pacific stock. The Oregon Short Line Railway company has created an issue of 4 per cent and participating twenty-five year gold bonds, which are to be secured by the pledge and deposit with the Equitable Trust company of New York, as trus tee, of ten shares of Northern Securi ties stoe-k for every 11,000 face value of ton-Is Issued. The bonds carry 4 per cent Interest, payable semi-annually, and, beginning with the year 1903, are- entitled to any cash dividends and In terest which may be paid in cash dur ing each year upon the" giving af least three months' notice, the bonds-so re deemed to be drawn by. lot. The present Issue of these bonds will be $31, WO and holders of the preferred and common stock of the Union Pacino Railway company, of record on Au gust 1, have the privilege of subscrib ing to those bonds at 90 and Interest to Die extent of 50 per cent of the par value of their stock. Arrangements have been made for the sale of such bonds as are not taken by the stock holders. Subscriptions must be made before the close of business AugUBt 15, and accompariled by the payment of $450 for each bond. The baiance flue must be paid on or before September 15. Holders who desire- to anticipate- the second payments .will be. allowed a- discount of $1.66 per bond. This transaction completes the. pur- chase of Northern Pacific and Southern Pacific stock without Increasing the bonded obligations of the Union Pacific company or Its capital account, and ' leaves the company In a position to re tire obligations before maturity at a slight premium. The rights to sub scribe to the new bonds are estimated to be worth a little over 1 per cent to Union Pacific stockholders: This cal culation is based on about 7 or 98 for the new bonds.
