HAMMOND DECLINES DIPLOMATIC POST Does Not Wish to Go to Peking for Family Reasons. ‘Washington, May 25.—After an hour’s interview with President Taft John Hays Hammond definitely de- clined a tender of the ministership to China. Mr. Hammond teld the president that he agreed with him that China offered a fleld for American enter- prise and development of American trade that would tempt almost any one to take up the work of the Amer- JOHN HAYS HAMMOND. ican mission in that country. He said he felt deeply honored by the tender of the ministership and that he will- ingly would make any personal or business sacrifice in order to accept. He felt, however, as a duty to his family that he should not undertake to go to the Orient for any length of time. “Mrs. Hammond s.nd I have several children growing up,” said Mr. Ham- mond, “and we feel that we ought to have a home and settle down. We have had many years of roughing it and think we ought to have a rest.” MORE ARITHMETICS NEEDED To Enable African Natives to Keep Track of Roosevelt Trophies.

Published. Washington, May 25.—The o called [ngm trust was the subject of an at- tack in the senate by Senator Owen of Oklahomsa, who sent to the secre- tary’s desk a denunciation of the trust published o a local mewspaper. “This aceount,” sald Mr. Owen, “points out ene ef the most evil and insidious consequences of the building {ap in this country of gisantic organi- zations protected by the so called tar- iff, which has led to poisoning the fountain of i{nformation of the people of the United States so that millions of dollars have been stolen from the peaple of the United States. This is not mentioned by the leading newspapers of the city of New York, but, on the contrary, full page adver- ements of the American Sugar Re- fining company appear in lleu of the truth, which ought to be made known to the people of the United States.” Consequently he askea to have the ewspaper attack read in order that t might appear in the record, which ‘was done, % On the conclusion of the reading of the clipping, which was an account of the alleged recent frauds perpe- trated by the sugar trust, Mr. Owen declared that the words “above No. 18 duties standard in color” should be struck from the tariff bill and asked that the finance committee report te the senate “‘why these words should not ba struck from the bill.” Mr. Aldrich suggested that when the sugar schedule was reached “this emendment will be in order.” “I am offering a resolution for the chairman of the committee on finance,” persisted Mr. Owen. “Not for the chairman,” suggested Mr. Beveridge laughingly, “for the cemmittee probably.” “For the chairman, who is the com- mittee,” retorted the Oklahoman. ROOT ON LUMBER SCHEDULE New York Senator Favors Dingley Diiferential. ‘Washfiigton, May 25.—An extended plea for a differential duty on dressed lumber was made in the semate in connection with the consideration of the tariff bill by Senator Root (N. Y.), who cited the various lumber inter- ests along the Canadian border and gave reasons why -they should be ac- corded a protective tariff. “Canada,” he said, “offers to every planing mill which will move across the border a remission of taxes for from fifteen to twenty-five years, so that the duty which we are imposing, it we adopt the committee report on dressed lumber, merely balances the tax that is imposed upon the property of our mills for the support of our state and municipal governments.” Calling attention to the fact that the duties under comsideration, both in the case of the rates provided by the house bill and by the committee on finance, were less than the Dingley bill Mr. Hale inquired whether the #enator from New York believed the Dingley rate should be retained. “My impression is,” said Mr. Root, “that ths differential of the Dingley bill 15' Just about at the right point to maintain a healthy opportunity for business and a healthy restraint upon business. I do not think there can be & reduction in these differentials that ‘would not transfer a large portion of the planing business to Canada.” Senator Heyburn (Ida.) also spoke in favor of a differential duty. A clash between the Idaho senator and Mr. Clapp (Minn.) followed the for- mer’'s assertion that the promised tariff revision was made by the few Republicans at the Chicago conven- tion “in the hour of their fright.” Senator Clapp asked if the Idaho senator dld not ‘want to withdraw, that statement. “No, I am not ntn:id of ghosts, wherever I meet them,” replied Mr. Heyburn. “The people knew the Re- publican party could be trusted to do the right thing, although inadvertent- !y a bad promise crept into the plat- form.” Negroes Will Quit Viclnity.

THOUSANDS OF MEN WILL RESUME WORK Sattlement of Miners’ Strike in Western Canada, ‘Winnipeg, Man., May 25.—The strike of coal miners which has affected nearly all mines of Southern Alberta and Eastern British Columbia for the past three months has been settled by the board of conciliation appointed by the government under the Lemieux act, assisted by board members of th United Mine Workers of America sent from_Idaho, Washington and Oregon The terms arrived at are those agreed to at the first conference, to which District President Sherman objected, although approved by the votes of the miners’ lodges, and against which he ordered the strike. International President Lewis was always of the opinion that no strike should have been called. The miners yielded on the open shop contention and the mine operators yielded as to discrimination against union members. The terms are binding on both parties for three years. The end of the strike came none too soon, as manufacturers at the chief centers of Alberta and East- ern British Columbia are out of coal. From 7,000.to 10,000 miners will re turn to work immediately. REVOLUTION IS SPREADING Dominican Insurgents Attack and Cap ture Two Towns.

CROP REPORTS BULLISH Excitement in Pit Caused by Start- ling Reports of Shortages in Pro- duction in Kansas and Oklahoma. Evidence That a Prominent Bull Is Buying the December Option on a Huge Scale. Chicago, May 25.—Wheat prices ad- vanced sensationally on the board of trade, gains ranging from 1% cents in July to 2% in September. May wheat, the medium of the Patten op- erations, and the other active options, July, September and December, all established new high record prices, which were well held at the close. The best prices of the day were May, $1.3414; July, $1.19%; September, $1. 12, and December, $1.09%. The relatively unimportant rise in July was due to the fact that that op- tlon was sold out by traders, who transferred their deals to September and December. There was evidence that December was bought on a huge scale by a prominent bull. The excitement of the day was based on startling reports of prospec- tlve crop shortages in Kansas and Oklahoma. One authority declared that the two states combined would not produce more than 60,000,000 hushels. A private wire from Kansas Clty stated that flour mills were in- creasing their warehouse capacities In order to store more wheat, thus preventing its being shipped out. These and other items of similar import aroused bullish enthusiasm fully the equal of any during the height of the Patten operations in May wheat. WHEN CORNERED BY OFFICERS Lima (0.)
