San Francisco, Sept. 14, A London dispatch saying It Is reported that another Ruslun cruiser, the Korea, Is expected to arrive In San Francisco shortly, has Increased tho surprise and conjecture In local shipping cir cles. At the last accounts the Korea was at Vladivostok, from which port she was operating In conjunction with the regular fleet. While the leport Is necessarily causing some concern no actual fear Is felt for the safety of vessels the Koreu may encounter, If she Is actually en route to San Francisco, It being held that she Is In no condition to overhaul the fust lin ers sailing from Pacific ports. By an odd coincidence, tho Paciflu Mall liner Korea, Is scheduled to leave here Tuesday with a million dollar cargo for Japanese ports. She will leave on the time set, unless do- vulopmonts force her sailing date. The Hussion Korea belongs to tho Russian East Asiatic Steamship com puny, and she Is about the same size ns tho Lonu.

Kendrlck Fanners Complain of Com bine Against Them. A special from Kendrlck, Idaho, to thu Lowlston Tribune, says: There Is considerable dlssatlsfactliiu among the grain growers who market their grain at Kimdrlck over whut they allege Is the unfair advimtagu taken by the grain buying companies of Luwlston, thu Volliuer Clearwater Giulu company and Kelteiibnch Grain company, who now control this field, In fixing the price of grain. 'J'liuy way IhaC these cumpunles uro paying from 3 to G cents per bushel lev for the sume grade of wheat than llm miaul emu oil iiImii mill dr.. nu n ,i example tile price thut Is being of- fered at Troy, which during the week was as high as 70 cents, while ut ICeudrlck tho top price was K7 cents. The toault has buun thut thousands of bushels lira being markuted' In Troy which means a haul of about four miles further than at Kendrlck. Veeturday a Moscow buyer bought here a bulk of oats paying $1.05, while the highest price, quoted by the Lewlstou grain buyers was V0 cents. This hue had a tendency to Increase the dlsbutlsfuctlon to such uu extent thut those who ure holding grain are looking for other buyers and refute to haul to tho local warehouses. Until this souson tho Tucomu Grain company was in this murket and as a losult the Lewlstou grain buyers had to meet their price. Now they have the field to themselves and the farmers claim aro taking an unfulr udvuntuge of them. Fully one-half of the stock yards employes at Chicago have been taken uacK at this time. I iv I 4
