WALL PAPER

Sands & Boyoe sold $4,000 worth
of wall paper last Saturday. The full
depth and breadth of the meaning OF
this little news item is not fully cohl-
pretended by the careless reader.
Just think of it; two thousand dol
lars worth of wall paper. That
means at least four hundred rooms,
turned inside out. 1t me ans two
hundred housewives up to their ears
in business, cleaning and putting
rooms in shape. It means that two
hundred husbands must put up with
"a cold bite'' for dinner for two or
three days or go to the restaurants
for meals. It means that six hundred
or a thousand children haye the law
laid down to them to keep quiet and
not to disturb certain articles OF
furniture standing in unaccustomed
places. It means that visiting ceases,
and that paste and fuss and feathers,
and scolding is the order of the day
in many households in the city for
some time to come. 1t is well for
the peace and quiet of families
that Sands & Boyce don't retail two
thousand dollars worth of wall paper
every day in the year. New wall

WASHINGTON, April %. - The
President sent the Senate to-day a
report from the Secretary of State in
reply to resolutions of the Senate
requesting information as to the
average production, consumption,
expectation and importation Of
wheat, rye. corn and cotton in for
eign countries, and their probable re-
quirements of such products from the
United States. The Secretary in his
report says that the calculations and
estimates submitted prove as far as
statistics can prove under the circum.
stances that the stock of wheat on
hand in England at the close Of 1888
did not materially differ from the
stock on hand at the close of the
previous year; that the wants of
Europe are as imperative and great
as in 1888, and the demand upon the
U. s. should naturally be as great
as in 1888. How long Europs may
or can draw upon her reserve stock,
or what are the Exact considerations
which controls the several countries,
especially the United Kingdom,
which may be said to regulate the
wheat markets of the word, time can

RICHMOND, April 23.-Mahone up
on calling the Republican convention
TO order was v0ciferously cheered.
After making q speech, Malone,
Chairman of the Readjuster State
Committe, with the concurrence OF
the Chairman of the Republican State
Committee, named Col. w. M. Lamb
as temporary chairman. Lamb then
briefly addressed the body. He said
they had come here with the high re-
solve to rescue the mother State from
the hands of despoilers. The proceed
ings of the last Legislature for op,,
preston and tyranny could not find
q parallel in the history of the coun-
try. He looked for happy results
from the action of this convention as
the time had now come when the
people uf the South could join the Re
publican party of protection. =,
After RI cess it was reported that all
counties in the State but four were
represented. Col. Lambs motion
that delegates to the Chicago conven-
ton cast their votes for Arthur was
received with almost unanimous dis
approval.

Reuuhlican State Convention.

Utica. n, Y, April 23.-Arrange-
ments are completed for the republl-
can state convention which meets here
at noon to-day. There is al intense
feeling of uncertainty III the result OF
the convention but it is generally
conceded the Edmunds delegates. II
they work in aniSon, can throw the
oroaniZatlon of the convention into
either the hands of Arthur or Blame
men. The Edmunds men held sever
al conferences last night ana over
lures were made them Dy the leaGels
of the Blaine and Arthur forces, Dut
thev refused to treat or name any
terms other than naming 1our
delegates at large and a temporary
chairman. The Arthur men accepted
the proposition of the Edmunds men
this morning and the latter named
Andrew D. White, Edwin Packard.
Theo. Roosevelt and Senator John l.
Gilbert as delegates at large, and Geo.
Ewing. temporary chairman. Ine
Edmlnds men claim from sixty to
eighty delegates, while the adherents
of Arthur claim a few over 2OO. IL
requires 249 votes to control the con-
yention. and should the combination
hold there is likely to be a short ses-
sion.
About noon the Blaine men chang
ed their programme for delegates at
| large and substituted the names OF
Roosevelt and Gilbert, which are al
! ready on the combination ticket for
those of Sloan and Erwin, in an en-
deayor to break the combination.
! The Edmunds men refused to accept
this compromise. The convention
was called to order at 1890. Roll-call
showed the only contest to be be-
tween the delegates from Montgom-
ery county. Roosevelt then nominat-
| Ell Nathaniel G. BoytOn (Edmunds-
Arthur candidate) for temporary
chairman. Roll-caJl was ordered.
Delegates from the 23d congress
ional district this morning elected as
delegates to the national convention,
Lee r. Sanboru and Geo. II. W rban'
Jr.. one Arthur and one Edmunds.
There was tremendous applause
mingled with Kisses when Thomas U
Platt voted for Pitts. The secretary
announced 49l votes cast, OF when
Boynton received 25l, Pitts 24O
Deafening cheers greeted the an
nouncement of the rest. Boynton
