the Greeley Ticket.

WASHINGTON, May 2I.-The mem
bers from West Virginia will leave here
in day or two to attend their State
Convention. Quite a number OF the
politicians Of that State have arrived
here in the past few days on their way

Greeley will be indorsed. Ex-Confed-
crate Senator Allan 7. Caperton pro-
nounces for Greeley, and the reports
from the State are that there is great
unanimity of feeling in favor of his
Endorsement at Baltimore.
1t is hinted that the Old Line Wings
who now support the Democracy in
tend voting for Greeley against the
field. The Convention meets May Goth.
Many of the candidates for State
officers are outspoken in their prefer
ence for and intend to support the Lib
eral movement.

LATER

The excitement in the State Demo
cratic Convention tonight is at fever
heat. Caucussing is going on at all
points. Mr.. Cass is the leading man
for Governor and his friends are conf
dent; they claim 81 votes on the first
ballot; g. will nominate. The feeling
for Greeley is strong and growing. All
prominent men are for adopting q pas
sive policy and leaving the delegates to
Baltimore fr to decide. This policy
will probably prevail.
Governor Bigler, who is named for
President of the Convention, made q
speech tonight, leaning strongly to
Mr.. Greeley. Mr.. Frank Hughes, Of
Schuylkill, followed, earnestly advoca-
ting the endorsement OF Greeley's NOM
ination, and was loudly cheered. The

Suffering by Emigration.

The dearth OF labor caused in Gers
many bv the heavy emigration move
ment is said to be attracting the atten-
ton of the German agricultural
societies, and many remedies have been
proposed. 1t has been suggested that
if the landowner wishes TO keep his
laborers he must improve their condi
tion by paying better wages, but it is
stated that the emigrants are coming in
the greatest numbers from those parts
of the country where the laborers are
most literally treated. 1t is contended
that the higher the wages the sooner
the laborer will save enough to pay
his passage money, and that when that
object is accomplished he departs at
once for his new home. 1t is also
contended that the landlord would be
ruined by the payment OF such wages
as would induce the laborer to be salts
fed with his position. The real diff
Guilty, however, it is stated, is to be
found in the fact that the land is heav-
lily mortgaged, and the proprictors have
not sufficient capital TO conduct farm
ing operations successfully. The
Pomeroy Agricultural Society, it may
be mentioned, thinks that 1t has dis.
covered mode OF relief and has rec
commended the German government TO
place emigration under more stringent
police regulations and also TO instruct
German consuls at American ports TO
inquire how many able bodied emigrants
in those places are willing to retarn to
their native country on condition Of a
free passage We conjecture that the
answer to such inquiries would be rath-
er discouraging.

CLEVELAND.
Stone Cutters on a Strike

CLEVELAND, May 29.-The stone
cutters and machinists have already
struck for higher wages, and the move
ment is expected to extend to other
trades. The stone cutters receive $3.50
per day, for ten hours work, and they
argue that since they can labor but
seven months in the year they should
receive A.00 per day. The demand is
resisted by the employers OF the stone
cutters, and this class OF work has been
suspended on several large buildings
now in process of erection.

winner Of The Race.
LONDON, May 29.-The annual
Derby, which has been the chief topic
of conversation in sporting circles for
the past few weeks, came off to-day,
over the usual course at EPSON Downs,
in the presence Of an immense multi
tude Of spectators. The betting, as the
hour for the start drew near, became
excited, heavy odds being offered on Gre
morne. the favcrite. Finally, every
thing being in readiness, the horses
were drawn up in front of the starters
post. The command was given and
away they dashed, like a whilwind,
amidst loud cheering. The enthu-
siasm of the crowd never slackened
Ior moment during the entire race.
The excitement became intense when
il was observed that Cremorne was
steadily distancing his competitors.
Enormous odds were offered on the IA
yorite, but found no takers. Near the
close of the contest it became apparent
10 all that Cremorne must win the race,
and when, minute later, covered with
foam, he dashed past the judges stand
and gained the race, one tremendous
shout greeted the result The dash
throughout was close and exciting. A
brother to Furry came in second, and
Queens Messen ger third. The rider of
Cremorne was the recipient OF perfect
ovation from the hackers Of that favor
ite, and at the close OF the race was in
stantly seized and borne off the course
on the shoulders of his admirers.
The "Times" on the Supplemental
Article.
The Times this morning contains an
editorial on the subject of the proposed
supplemental article TO the treaty Of
Washington, the acceptability of which
is now under debate in Parliament.
The Times thinks the attitude recently
assumed by the people on both sides OF
the Atlantic on this question is highly
commendable and declares if the arbl-
tration which has been 80 long delayed
now terminates successfully it will BE-
chiefly because public opinion in both
Great Britain and America has been
strong enough to correct the errors Of
diplomacy and statecrait.

The Wheat Ring"

The Chicago TnJ,ols, Of Friday, says
OF the wheat ring
The ring OF Spectators who have
for two months past manipulated the
price Of wheat in this market, have been
undecided for some DAYS what line OF
tactics to pursue. During the latter
half of last week they unloaded all
their long wheat, and on Monday, Dist,
the principal operators went short un-
der a concerted arrangement TO break
the price down, which they succeeded
in doing, from Sl.j4 per bushcl on Sat.
urday, to SI.47I on Monday. They
found, however that instead Of being
able to control it completely, as they
had imagined they could, it would not
90 below that figure, and quickly re-
acted, so that they became
alarmed, and were obliged TO fill in
their shorts at a loss of from 10 ) cents
per hushcl. Finding that the market
stood up alone without their support,
they took courage again. and. 1t Is uu-
derstood, have now made arrangements
to inaugurate another bull campaign.
II the market were free from manlpuIa-
ton the tendency of prices would prob
ably he downward rather than upward;
but with the small stock Of wheat in
this market there is no telling what
may be the result. One thing, however
is pretty well understood, and that is
that the market showed 30 much
strength that when the bulls all turned
bears ard made concerted attempt to
break it down, they got scared and
withdrew, after having experienced a
considerable loss.
