More Than $25,000 Will' Be Paid . for Recoverysof Bullion. The dispute’over the rewardfofflered by the Selby Smelting Compeny for the ar- rest of the thief who looted the vault of the smelter at Vallejo Jupction and the recovery of the treasure no langer ex- | ists. The statements-that the Selby Company would mot pay the $25,00 rewsard have absolutely no foundation. As a matter of fact, the company will pay out more than the amount offered, as &t desires to de fairly and justly with the many persons who have made claims. After the arrest ana conviction of Jack Vinters and the recovery of the stolen bullion the Selby Company had a dif- ficuit problem to face. Applicants for portions of the $25,000 re- ward were as thick as leaves in autumn end the Selby Company saw the prospgct of lawsuits and injunctions looming up. For a time it seemed as if the reward money would be tied up in the courts, eventually to be divided among lawyers. The last act of the drama, however, is now in sight and all will end happily.

NEWPORT, R. ‘I, Sept. 12—F. B. Loomis, former Minister to Venezuela and now Minister to Portugai, sees trou- ble ahead for the United States in the with South American republics. “There seems no doubt to many that the control of the Caribbean Sea must in- evitably fall to the United States and be essential to its proper dominfon of the canal route, to the assurance of its pow- er and actively to defend or support the principles of the Monroe doctrine and to give the necessary protection to its pos- sessions. I do not fancy the American people want more territory, but what we want is that our neighbors in Central and South America shall become pros- perous and possess a capacity to enter upon large reciprocal -trade relations with us. “In_the meantime we must recognize the existing conditions in tropical Latin- America. It is my epinion that the bet- ter class of Latin-Americans are disposed to entertain a friendly feeling for the United States. They understand us bet- ter and know our purposes are pure. Un- fortunately the intelligent class is not everywhere a dominant political force. ““The Government control is too often in the hands of military adventurers who seek power and its use. solely for their own advantage and profit, and who are as indifferent to international obligations as they are incapable of understanding or formulating a broad national or interna- tional policy. It is with men of this sort that the Government States is sometimes called upon to deal, and in dealing with them it has always been_borne in mind by the authorities at Washington that a bad ruler does not necessarily represent the best feeling and honest sentiment of the country. “It seems to me, however, that to avoid future trouble one of the plain dutles which the immediate future will enforce upon the Government of the United States will be that of insisting upon a higher degree of responsibility on the part of some of the republics in tropical Latin- America. This will not be a pleasant duty, but it is one that will have to be performed and, on the whole, perhaps the sooner it is done the better will it be for the world in general.” The Powers Will Support Spain. MADRID, Sept. 12—El Heraldo pub- lishes an important statement by Prime Minister Sagasta on the Morocco diffi- cuity. It relates how, on account of the delicate international consequences that might be involved, Spain sought and ob- tained the support of the powers, this support, however, to be exclusively moral, and punishment to be the mission of Spain alone. —— Money for Czar’s Entertainment.

These delegates represent more (i one-half of the srain-producir counties of the Stat and the men who ‘were present in many instances sacrifi their time to bring order out of the ex isting chaos. The convention was called to order at the appointed hour by Will 8. Gre chdirman of the Sacramento Valley velopment Association. He explained the | situation that confronts the grain-grow- | ers, and then G. W. Pierce of Knights anding was elected chairman. ‘Senator president of tbe San Joaquin Valley Commercial Associa- tion, was unable to be present, but ex pressed his hearty support of the mo ment. “This is an age. aparently. of combina- tions,” said Chairman Pierce. “We are confronted on every side with combina- tions. - Whether It is cutting one's hair or blacking one’'s boots, it matters not-—the union label has got to be somewhere. Why should rot the farmer demand the same thing. The farmer has-been- the butt of the laboring man at all times. ' We pro- duce the goods: the laborer does not want to handle them ' and . then the farmer reaches a point that he cannot continue, We must act and act promptly.” F. W. Yokum of Merced sald that the farmers of San Joaquin County, while iieartily in accord with the movement, did not have the necessary -money to THE _Cogerirousid S A sre. sz e IR S ks g i ARGH PO Delegates Determine to Combine Interests to Insure Their Welfare Detrimental Results of Labor Strike Cause a Demand for Protection i : i H, were heartily in accord with the move- ment. Yokum's remarks were frequently applauded. President Green called attention to the conditions affecting the wheat grower. He spoke of the commercial field opened in the Orient and said that the fruits of Dewey’s victory were being dissipated by reason of an alleged grievance on the part of union labor of which no one could give an intelligible idea. As ‘to its. ul- timate detrimental effect on the State he declared there was no question. “While every interest in the United States is organizing for self-protection.” said Mr. Green, “the farmer stands idly by, grows_his crop and markets it as best Le can. You may call this movement a ‘trust’ if you like, but the average grain grower is dependant upon some one else for what little he can get for his crop. The time for action is ripe and the only means to get at it is organization.” Adoption of Resplutions. After a discussion of the situation in all its phases Mr. Cralg of Yolo County offered’ resolutions demunding an imme- diate settlement of the difficultiés which prevent the wkeat men from marketing their procduct. He al ested the ap- rointment of the i tent of the resolutions were adopted and Pierce named James Craig, Beckman and J. H. Rice as the commit- tee. Some me ate call upon the Governor, but finally it Was decided, in view of the apparent end- ing of the strike, to wait a few d As to the proposition ad Green, more consideration w torney Myers of Alameda ¥ ex- plained at length a co-operative plan by which he thought great benefit might be trought to the grain raisers. He ex- plained the matter in detail and offered his. experience to bring the matter into tangible shape. The plan of co-operation met with great favor and a_committee, consisting of F. W. Yokum, H. M. Larue, P..R. Garnett, L. D. Stephens and W. S. ‘3reen, was appointed to arrange the de- tails. ‘Another important step in the orga: ation of the grain growers was effected Ly a resolution proposed by Mr. Cra:g of Yolo County, calling for a meeting of ail grain growers in their respective coun- ties to_form a.

Resolved, That a committee be appointed to find out from the men now interfering with the movements of the crop by intimidating men who are willing to work and see if they will not cease opposition and %o to work. Next, to ask the Sheriff of Conira Costa County if he can maintain the law, also protect workingmen while loading and unloading grain, and third, to ask the Governor to use the power of the State to that end. Resolved, That failing in this, it will be the duty of farmers to go to Port Costa in such mum- bers and with such accoutrements as will compel order and allow the work to go peacefully along. Resolved, That the committee thus appointed shall have power to act in all things and make a call for volunteers if such steps shall be forced upon us. — | Papal delegate in the United States.” ORAG HORSE P THE CLIFF Fair Teachers Meet With | i Thrilling Mishap at Night.
