The meetings 'y were confined to the national councll, Indian department and the general sesaion. Tomorrow the real work in detall will com- mence.

It is sald that Mr. John D. Rockefeller, the Standard Ol magnate, is starving to death because of 'indigestion. The state- ment is startling because of the irony of it. The fact, If true, is pelther exceptional or strange. Very many men, and especially men of means, who lead busy lives, overlook the fact that their digestive organs are their malnstay. The hastily bolted breakfast, the murried business lunch, the heavy and elegant dinner, the very late and not too hygienic supper—these, with the addition of extreme and continued mental strain, overtax the vital forces and collapse oc- cors.

D, July 8—(Special)— Weather the past week has been more ben- eficial to corn growth than for the past month, and that crop has made splendid progress in and throughout this part of the state. In many parts of the Jim river valley whers corn was damaged by frost the crop is fast recovering, and with the warm weather there is reason to belleve there will be a fair yleld, Corn not harmed by frost is in excellent condition; some flelds are weedy because the ground has been too wet to cultivate.

CITY TIC. 1504 Farnam Stceet. ENGLAND HAS LOST PLACE Lord Brassey Says She is No Longer Leader of Mercantile Marine. CALLS UP QUESTION OF SUBSIDIES Claim Made that Greac Britain is Not Getting Her Full Share of the Atlantic Trade for Lack of This. LONDON, July 8.—Lord Brassey, liberal, initiated a discusslon on naval matters in the House of Lords today, during the course of which he deplored the fact that Great Britain had lost the place it once held with its mercantile marine. The ques- tion on subsidles he thought must depend on the actiomof the other powers. All the naval powers of Europe gave liberal sub- sidies, while President Roosevelt and for- mer Secretary Gage had recommended this policy. It was contrary to British policy to foster industries by bounties or protec- tion, but to pay for a reserve of auxiliary vessels would certainly be to. the public advantage. Lord Selborne, the first lord of the ad- miralty, in the course of a reply referred to the Atlantic shipping combine. He said it seemed to him that the balance was one of disadvantage to the combination, because it necessarily placed very large powers in the bands of a few men. The government disclaimed any sort of jealousy of the Americans. They had an American marine of their own and they had a per- foct right to a full share of the Atlantic trade. It was to British interest that they should have it. It should not be an almost British monopoly. On the other hand Great Britain could not afford to see itself squeezed out of the Atlantic trade. The at- titude of the government, therefore, Wi not one of hostility, but of anxiety, and not until they had formed an opinion of the whole question could they wisely and fairly enter Into agreements with one party or another. It would never do to rely in the event of war on the merchant ships of other natlons for the purpose of British .carry- ing trade. Great Britain had fallen be- hind in regard to vessels of high speed because it had not given heavy subsidies Iike other nations. The expense of so large a subsidy polley was so insidious that in bis opinion the subsidizing of commercial corporations should and must be confined to a limited number and for a special and definite purpose. While merchant crulsers had their proper place in time of war they could never be substituted for naval crulsers nor would the possession of mer- chant cruisers even diminish the ship building vote for the Davy.
