Government Estimate Shows thai Uncle Snm' Prosperity Springs from the Soil Many a Dwindling 3IorlKaKe AYI11 Be Paid Off.

That the 'prosperity of America springs from the soil is demonstrated once more in the government estimate of the grain crops of 1007. Those figures, based on the market prices to-day. place the value of the grand total yield oT wheat, euro, oats, rye and barley for the year at $2.-!5S.liO-l,Htf. Comparisons of the government estimate of this year with the similar prediction made a year ago shows a falling off of rHjoj io bushels out of a total of more thm 4,m;,k;o.XiO bushels, but it is believed the difference will be more than wiil out by the higher market value of grains, leaviug a clean margin of gain for the farmer in spite of the tardy spring. The government estimators have placed tho probable yield of winter wheat for the current year at 37-i,irJ.-(XX) bushels, valued at the present price of 02U cents at $45.ir7,!S7. The prediction for the yield of spring wheat Is 24o.:i;7.M' bushels with a value of $22 l,772,So7. Wheat Crop Worth S?."(jr,0:iO,7fr. This places the total wheat crop at G17.S22.WX) bushel, worth $5 KUK,7fT. The actual yield of wheat for the similar ieriod last year was 7o5,2Gl,(X0 bushels which, figured at the market price one year ago of 7SVs cents, Svas worth $."i74,422,(;T0. Since the actual yield, however, exceeded the government estimate by 27,000,000 bushels it is not unlikely that the present year may furnish a surprise fully as welcome. This is a possibility that U bringing bfoad smiles to the tanned faces of the farmers cf the Northwest. Corn, the banner crop of the country, is equally replete with happy probabilities, and in spite of Foggy grounds and overcast skies that kept the planting back this spring, the outlook is that the few slim remnants of mortgages on the homesteads throughout the great corn belt that have dwindled rapidly in the recent years cf prosperity, will tee their finish. While the estimate falls below the prediction made a year ago by 70,000,000 bushels out of a total of 2,."00,0O0,000, the market price is cents ier bushel higher than last year at this time. The estimate on corn is a yield of 2,517,222,000 bushels, with a value, at the market price to-day, of cents, of $1,ÜÜ2,4IG,407. The actual yield of last year was 2,027,000,000 bushels, valued at $l,543,o00. Oats, rye and barley have suffered so little because of an inclement spring that the government prediction, while less than the actual yield of last year, exceeds In each instance similar estimates mado a year ago, showing that tie present conditions indicate a larger crop than they did then. A yield of 019,537,000 bushels of oats Is predicted by the government experts for this year, which will be worth, at the prostat price, 43""i cents, ?401,14S,010. Last year's prediction was for 814,733,000 bushels, while the actual yiel l was 001,905,000, with a valuation of ?:u;2,G04,55!, the current price a year ago leing but 38 cents a bushel. Altogether the report is considered oiio likely fo turn the whole country to optimistic reflections!. Senator Allison of Iova has made known his purpose to ask for another term, and his frienils are busy denying the rumors that he is incapacitated by age and failin? health. In a recent interview Mr. Pryan was asked what is the most important princi ple to be applied at present in American politics. His reply was a quotation of the Jefferson maxim : "Equal rights to all and special privileges to none." Pennsylvania's "favorite son," Senator Knox, took his stand on the question of federal and State powers, in delivering the annual address to the graduating clas.s of the Yale Law School, his special theme being '"The Development of the Federal Power to Herniate Commerce." He replied particularly to the proiosition advanced by Senator UeveriJgo, in supiort of the child labor bill, pointing out that production is in no sense commerce, and holding that Congress may legislate only within the scope of its constitutional powers. He says that "legislative discretion extends to the means and not to the ends." In support of this position. Senator Knox cited a long line of judicial, opinions, including the recent decision of the Supreme Court, delivered by Justice Brewer in the Colorado-Kansas case. In this view it was maintained that th desirability or popularity of a measure was beside the question so Ion as Congress had no power to enact it. W. J. P.ryan told the Oklahoma Democratic convention at Oklahoma City, that the new State constitution, in his opinion, was the best of any State ii the Union, "and better than the constitution of the United States." He went on to "compliment the cornfield lawyers of Oklahoma upon having puttied up all the holes shot into the constitutions of other States by trust and constitution lawyers." He suggested as their campaign motto, "Let the people rule," and added that it should also 1 the keynote of the national campaign. The New York Legislature adjourned without having passed cither the reapportionment or direct nomination bill., which the Governor in special messages had demanded in the name of the people, and a call for an extra session was anticipated. Secretary Taft gave the commencement address at the University of Minnesota. His subject was "The College Graduate as a Political Asset of the State and Nation." He not only advised the stu dents to get into practical politics, but he even showed them some of the various ways in "which a political slate could be smashed. Secretary Taft says that there will be no war with Japan and that the two nations cm be trusted to find a way to pursue their respective paths in harmony. He tells us not to mind the news that continues to come. "It does not alwaj'3 mean what it seems to mean on tht surface. We shall have no war with Japan." President Roosevelt and Mr. Cannon are on the best of terms personally, however many are the iolitical matters upon which they do not touch. The Speaker calls at the White House nearly every day when he Is in Washington, and wrae of the President's best Rtories are those invented, or otherwise acquired, by 'Mr, Cannon.

fie S i t wrv JOHN D. BEFORE JUDGE. Oil Magnate In Court for First Tim In Nineteen Years. In Chicago Saturday Johu Davison Rockefeller, billionaire, head of America's greatest trust, entered a court room for the first time in nineteen years. Ivy the testimony of the oil king and his associate?, all the Information which Judge Landls has been seeking for the purpose of fixing the size of the fine he is expected to impose on the Standard Oil Company of Indiana, was obtained. It was announced immediately after the hearing that the court was through with Rockefeller as a witness. , These secrets wore revealed by Rockefeller and his aids: Standard Oil Company of New Jersey holds $490.500 of the $1,000,000 worth of the capital stock of the Standard Oil Company, of Indiana. Outstanding capital stock of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey amounts to $OS,300,000. Net earnings of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey for the years 100, 1901 and 1905 approximate $ 179,800,000. Dividends paid on the capital stock of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey during those years approximated 40 ier cent a year. Standard Oil Company of New Jersey holds "by far the major portion" of the stock of the Union Tank Line Company. Union Tank Line Company, with a capital stock of ?:5.54 0,000, Is 5,0O0,000 in debt and has paid no dividends since llMJl. Judge Land Is probed into the secrets of Standard OH, hidden for years, and obtained answers to all the questions he had asked the defending attorneys by the time he had examined nVe of tho twelve witnesses who were In court He then adjourned further hearing of the case until Monday morning, making It necessary for Rockefeller and the othr.r witnesses to reiuaiu in Chicago over Sunday. . A gasp of awe ran around the crowded room when Rockefeller, pinned down by Judge Landi. after ho had claimed ignorance of nui'ii of the information asked, said that the dividends paid by the Standard Oil Company during three years covered by the Indiana indictment amounted to 40 per cent. This proved to be the sensational Item In the testimony. Thousands of persons besieged the Federal building fully half an hour before the arrival of Rockefeller. They entered the structure and fought their way past the outside guards to the sixth floor, where they were stopped at the entrance to Judge Landls' court room. Scattered among the spectators were a' score of secret service operatives. They wore no uniform, displayed no Insignia of office, yet they pushed In and out among the members of the crowd. This led to confusion and a riot onsued. Lawyers demanding admission to the court were knocked down in the conti id which followed. Tho majority of the spectators were In and seated when Mr. Rockefeller made his appearance at the end of the hall, attended by a few friends and his counsel. A passageway was opened for him and he walked slowly down the hall toward the court room, the crowd closing la behind him, eager to catch a glimpse of the so-called richest man In the world. Mr. Rockefeller was shown to a eat to the left of the Judge's desk. His presence In the court room was almost unnoticed by the spectators until he was well up the side aisle. Then a buzz went up from the sweltering crowd and a bustle and movement as each one tried to got a glimpse of the oil magnate. There was no demonstration, however. Mr. Rockefeller looked curiously around him for a moment as he settled in his seat, and then commenced a whispered conversation with one of his attorneys. TRIBUTE TO GARIBALDI. tievr York Italian Flttlnslr Honor HI Memory. On July 4. at Clifton, Staten Island, the Italian colony of New York City dedicated the Pantheon they are building to inclose the little frame cottage in which Garibaldi, the Italian hero, lived between the years 1851 and 1S53. The celebration was a memorable one among the Italians. The date marked the centenary f the birth of Garibaldi, who first saw tit light of day in Nice on July 4, 1807.

Judge Landis thereupon set Aug. .1 as the date for the entering of the fiual order, at which time he will Impose a fine upon the company of not less than $1,000,000 and not more than $29.240.000. The attorneys for the defense replied to Judge Imdis' Invitation In a bitingly sarcastic statement, which openly criticised his attitude in asking for the information.' DEWEY FOR FLEET IN PACIFIC. Thinks It Dent to Have Ships There In Interests of Pence. An interview with Admiral Dewey in regard to the transfer of the battleship fleet to the Pacific ocean has thrown much light on the motives of the government in the movement. "It is a pity we have j not ships enough to keep powerful fleets in both oceans, but since we have not it seems that in the interests of peace it Is best at this time tint our fleet should be in the Pacific," said admiral ucwEY. the admiral. "This cruiser transfer, or whatever you like to call if, is n mission of ieace. I do not think it likely that this country will become seriously involved with any power. IJtit if trouble should come by auy chance it is weil to be fully prepared for it. "It is. necessary for us to hold the bala&ro of sea power on the Pacific.

Jud;? Dunne before passing sentence arraigned the prisoner in harsh language. Schmitz interrupted the court time after time, careless of consequences, protesting at further humiliation. Attorney Fairall joined with his client, protesting until 'h barely escaped being sent to prison for contempt. Schmitz was deOant to the end.

Vi gfcrSbii rW-J-f.y.-l v--eV ih't MM JAP INSULTS UNCLE SAM. Ofltclal Washington Stirred by Slura Ott MlWndo'n Admiral. The highest otlicials now in Washington have lieen stlrretl to strong Indignation at the gratuitous insult handed out to the United States by one of the chief officers of Japan's navy and a man who stands close to the Mikado, In an Interview, printed in the Iloclii at Tokyo. The slurs expressed by Admiral Sakamoto on the American navy In this interview are angrily resented by the military and naval chief and, It Is believed, will add force to the ill-feeling that is being engendered against Japan all over the United States. Roth military and civil officials of high rank, who, of course, refuse to bo quoted, admit that the iusulting utterances of one of the Mikado's chief officers have ereatly Intensified the gravity of the situation between the United States and Japan and Increased the possibilities of war between the two countries. The text of the interview as printed in the Hoch! is as follows: "Should hostilities break out between Japan and America, the result would be Indecisive, owing to a want of proper bases of .operations. Such bases as exist are too far distant for practical purposes. "Even the nearest bases namely, the Pescadores, CaviVe and Manila are at a distance of GOO miles from one another. F.ven if tho Washington government should decide on a war, it is doubtful if the Americans serving in the navy are sufficiently patriotic to fight. "American naval officers are brilliant figures nt-bails and social gathering, but they are very deficient in professional training nnd experience. It Is too much to expect a burning patriotIsmi In the American naval service in case of war with Japan. It is very likely that most of the crews would desert and leave the ships." Admiral Sakamoto commanded the IU-fited battleship Yasbima when she struck a mine and sunk off Port Arthur W May, 1001. Subsequently he was made naval commandant at Daluy for the Port Arthur operations. The transfer of the American battleship squadron to the Pacific coast lias caused a Ptor.n. A significant feature of the affair Is that all of the vessels will be stripped as though for battle, anil will be supplied with a full supply of ammunition and rms. In outlimnx the plans for the next session of tho Australian Parliament, Premier Carruthers proposed the enactment of pension for invalids, subventions to aid friendly societies to enable the poorest persona to purchase annuities. He argues that this policy tends "to uplift the community, increase the inducements to thrift atd aid in the battle against improvidence." A rigid censorship of the Portuguese press prevented the prompt report of full details of the recent rioting at Lisbon and other towns. It now appears that a poncral revolutionary uprising was barely averted by the repressive measures adopted. ' Of ."i.OOO officers of the regular army, Lieut. Joseph II.

CHICAGO. Midsummer conditions are now entered into, but trade in the aggregate discloses less decline in activity than uual. The volume of distributive tradi remains exceptionally wide and the leading industries show 110 disposition to curtail production, the full employment of machinery and available workers being imperative to sustain prompt deliveries. Some plants are yet considerably behind on old contracts and the pressure here involves much extra effort and overtime to increase outputs. II eavy hardware, machinery, furniture and footwear demands average favorably with those of a year ago. and the prices obtaiued afford a fair margin of prolit. A slight falling off in building permits does not interfere with current operations iu construction. Leading retail trade has advanced to seasonable proportions, and the clearance sales make substantial inroads upon stocks of lightweight apparel, boots and shoes and head wear. Conservatism iu selections of merchandise is confined to a few points where harvesting is poor, but the outlook for business in fall and winter goods appears to be improving. Grain markets disclose further contraction in prices and buying of the leading breadstuffs, due mainly to the government crop report indicating probabilities of adequate results under normal weather conditions. The total movement of grain a? thi port, 7.SlS,i)47 bushels compares with l,7tfUU2 'bushels last week' and .V&V bushels a 3"ear ago. Compared with those of last year, n-ceipts decreased 12.2 per cent, while the shipments gained 174 per cent. Iteeeipts of live stock were 2ni;.;.OS head, against 210,107 her.d last week and 2:10.447 head in llMNj.

Continued favorable weather, coupled with improvement in reorder business with jobbers and in payments on past business, gfve a more optimistic tone to the general situation than seemed possible a month ago. That some trade was lost for this reason is, of course, certain, as is the fact that reduction sales hhv; been necessary to move some slow sellitg goods; but it is noted that cotton gooes have again been advanced, that dress fabrics are selling better, and men's wear; woolen and clothing dealers take a much more cheerful view of the outlook. Telegrams to Pradstreet's show the effect of midsummer conditions on many lines, but fall shipments have begun in larger volume than a year ago, and where the crop outlook is defined there is a slightly more pronounced disposition to buy more freely for fnture delivery. v Manufacturers at the East are displaying still more interest in the wool mar kft, and sales ' are reported very large. Demand is very general, however, for long staple wools suitable for fine grades of woolen and worsted goods. Oi'd stocks are small.
