Of the wool market; Sales Of wool con-
tinue liberal in the various Eastern mar
kets and prices are steady. The manu-
factursrs are running on heavyweight
goods, and require large supplies. Their
fabrics, however, are not commanding the
prices which they would like to get. On
some grades Of worated there has been
reduction OF per cent since the opening.
The state Of things naturally mRkeD buyers
cautious. Holders, on their part, are gen.
orally ready to sell at the current quota
tons. AS compared with the beginning
OF the year the tone OF the market has
improved materially.
James Lynch's annual eatimate makes
the production OF wool in the United
States last year 333. 800, 900 pounds. This
is heavily in excess OF former statements,
and points to larger product than any
year in our history since 1854. Tho hgutea,

cont depression OF values.
Prices continue strong in London uuder

Letter.
VERY DISTINCT REFUSAL.
Reasons Why He Cannot Become a
Candidate---Harris0n's
Programme.

INDIANAPOLIS, July 29.-EX-Gov.
Porter'S withdrawal from the guberna-
tOrial contest was the absorbing topic
about political headquarters and in the
hotel lObbies to-day. 1t was wholly un-
expected, and came with such a sur
prise at moment when the local
primaries were overwhelmingly in his
favor, that nearly every political clique
is inclined to attribute different causes
as prompting the withdrawal. The fol-
lowing is Gov. Porter's letter on the
subject to State Senator Henry u. john
son, of Richmond;
Indianapolis, July 2S, 1SSS.-My Dear
Sir: The pressure of many engage
ments has delayed my reply to your
letter. AT the conference of the Lincoln
League clubs in February last. stated
in public speech that l would
not be a candidate before the Re-
publican state convention for the Office
of governor, and that my name would
not be presented to the convention.
Several gentlemen were present who
were understood to desire the nOmi-
nation and the declaration was
properly interpreted by them as being
in the nature of pledge that l would
nOU otdtiu ia liiSil way. l. udNc HGNeE
since said that l would be candidate,
but, OH the contrary, have stated to
many friends that would not. The
partiality of friends has recently, not
withstanding these declarations, so
strongly evinced itself in favor of my
being nominated that feel it to be in
cumbent upon me. in reply to
your letter to renew the state
ment, and to give you authority to
make it public that shall not be can
didate before the convention, and | am
obliged to add that L could not accept
nomination even if it were rendered. l
have taken an active part in every Re-
publican campaign since the Republi-
can party was organized. except one
which occurred while [ was holding
Office at Washington. After this long
service the state convention will,
l am sure, refrain from pressing
upon me candidacy to which
l would be averSe, and which
should feel obliged to decline. But,
while l shall not be a candidate,
/ shall not be Indifferent to the
success of the Republican party,
nor shall my voice be silent in
the important campaign in which it is
about to enter. From the time the cam
paign shall begin until it shall have
closed, by every effort that | can be-
stow, shall give whatever aid | am
able to secure the triumph of the Re-
publican national ticket and the success
of the candidates who shall be nominat-
ed at our state convention. Yours sim
cerely. A. c. PORTER.

WASHINGTON, July 29.-Knute Mel
son deems it advisable TO assert stoutly
that he is still a Republican. He claims
that the only salvation of the country is
the return of the Republican party to
power. The Republican party is the
party of protection. Nelson is a rev.
enue reformer. Verify the workings Of
some human minds are wonderful and
past finding out. Nelson is admired for
his independence and respected even by
his Republican colleagues, while they
damn him for his recent vote. But his
adherence to the Republican party,
while voting against it's principles,
causes considerable comment on both
sides of the house. His bette noire,
Haugen, of Wisconsin, has considerable
to say about Nelson and his vote, but he
does not talk TO Nelson in person. In
fact they have not spoken as they pass
by for nearly three months. That
Duluth bridge is the rock they split
upon. Nelson never mentions Hau-
gems name, but Haugen frequently has
something sarcastic to say OF Nelson.

Collision Between Two Vessels in

VINEYARD HAVEN, Mass, July 90
The steamer Parthian, of the Boston &
Philadelphia line, Capt. Nickerson,
from Philadelphia for Boston, and
the schooner Air, of and from
st. John. for New York. with
a cargo of lumber, colllded near
the West Chop, Vineyard sound,
last night during fresh northeast wind
and cloudy weather. The Parthian was
struck amidship in the port side, and
was run aground in this harbor leaking
badly. She had full cargo of general
merchandise and ffty-five passengers,
most of whom were awakened from
sound sleep by the collision, though
no panic and but little excitement Oc-
Cured. A few wanted life preservers
but were soon quieted by assurances
from the officers of no immediate dan
ger. In less than one hour after the
disaster, the Parthian was grounded
safe and motionleSs in the harbor. All
the passengers were saved and trans
ferred to Boston. The steamer will be
saved. Had the schooner been laden
with anything but lumber. she would
unouestionably have sunk, as she was
torn wide open.

Congress May Adjourn.
Special to the Globe
WASHINGTON, July 29.-Appropria-
ton bills will be the principal feature
OF the proceedings in congress this
week. The senate will first conclude
consideration of the sundry civil appro-
prlatiOn bill, and will then turn its at
tentiOn to the fisheries treaty. 1t is be-
lieved that the latter may be completed,
when there will be more work on appro-
priatiOn bills. The Chinese immigra-
ton will demand consideration, and
Senator Plumb has given notice that he
will call up for consideration at the
earliest moment the bill to
ENCOURAGE THE EXPOSITION

the United States, to be held in 1SSS-S9
The house OF Representatives will con-
fine its attention TO the general de-
ficiency appropriation bill until it is
completed, which may not be earlier
than Thursday OF Friday. Following
the deficiency will come the fortifica-
tiOns appropriations bill, and then the
senate amendments to the army. navy
and snndry civil appropriation bills.
If opportunity is offered further consid-
Grafton will be given
THE OKLAHOMA BILL
and the bill providing buildings for
pOstOfficeS whose gross annual receipts
amount to $1,000 year. Both of these
measures are unfinished business, and
come up when there is no privileged
matter OF the character OF appropria-
tiOns demanding the right of way. AL
though the tariff bill will not come up
in the senate for discussion before the
latter part of next week, if, indeed, it
makes its appearance sooner than week
after next, the impression prevails that
congress can adjourn by the 10th or 18th
OF September. Twenty senators have &

in this session during the consideration
OF the presidents message, and it is not
likely that more than that number will
ask to speak on the tariff bill. If the
measure comes up by Monday, Aug. 13;
senators say the three weeks ending
Sept. l will be sufficient for the debate.
Adding to this date ten days for house
and conference committees to act, and
it will be seen that the suggestion of

ment.
CONGRESS USUALLY ADJOURNS
between July 25 and Aug. 10. One of
the longest sessions on record occurred
just before the war, when congress did
not adjourn till Sept. 80. No session
since has lasted within fortnight of
this time. The house during the week
will have passed all the appropriation
bills, the only two of which have not
been through that body already being
the general deficiency and Notifications.
But there are senate amendments to the
army, navy and sundry civil bills for
the house to act upon.

WASHINGTON. July 29.-The house
will open tomorrow with not more than
fifty men in their seats. The vicious
method of legislation now being prac-
ticed must stop sooner or later. The
practice of passing bills by unanimous
consent, there being less than one
fourth of the membership of the house
present, is demoralizing IN the extreme.
The Democratic party is in control of
the house and is responsible for all that
is done in this direction. True, there
are enough members here to block the
wheels, if necessary. by calling ''no
quorum" But it happens that Demo-
Gratis are human and many of them
have private bills Of Importance to their
constituencies, and they are involun-
tarily influenced to permit things to
pass lest their own pet measures be
blocked by similar cry of mo quorum"
and they permit things to go through.
1t is not right, and the party leaders
will try to put stop to it tomorrow by
the enactment of new rules. This is as
it should be,
