ADVANCE IN PRICE.

Several paper manufacturers
have notified their customers of an
advance in price Of print paper.
This is only a slight warning OF
what is to come from other manu-
facturers. On the first of the year
an advance of twenty-five per cent.
was made in paper rags, and it is
claimed that the scarcity of this
article, SO necessary in paper-mall
ing, will soon cause another in
crease in price. On account OF
the destruction of so many pulp
mills by fire within the past three
months wood pull has become
very scarce. and paper-makers are
obliged to import much of it from
Europe at high cost. From
present indications there is nc
doubt that white paper will cost
more in 1888 than it did in 1887.

Important Newspaper Consolidation

WASHINGTON, June S.-There is a start
ling rumor ia circulation here, which seems
to be we'll authenticated, to the effect that
the National Republican newspaper, of
this city, will cease TO exist in day or two,
and that the Washington Post will shortly
afterward follow its neighbor and also
cease to exist. These two plants will then.
20 the story goes, be merged into one, and
in their place will be launched an indie
pendent Republican journal. At the head
of this important new journalistic enter
prise are William Henry Smith. General
Manager of the Associated Press; White
law Reid, of the New York Tribune;
Hon. William Walter Phelps, Repub-
lican Representative in Congress from
New Jersey, who is known 10 be quite
wealthy, and Mr.. Richard Smith, OF Gin
cinnati. Mr.. Stilson Hutchins proprietor
Of the Washington Post who, it is under
stood, also owns q controlling interest in
the National Republican, will retain an
interest in the new enterprise, but it will
be OF so silent character that he will have
little, if anything TO say as to the conduct
or policy of the new paper. The organiza-
ton will control both franchises of the As
sociated Press and the United Press, with
iron-bound contracts with each. 1t is
understood that an effort was made to get
the Evening Critic into the same organiza-
ton, so that there could be both a morning
and an evening edition of the new paper.
Ii has not been ascertained what name the
consolidated journal will have.

parts of the hall dalegates gathered in about

about him, holding in sort of canopy over
his head the placards bearing the names OF

In marked distinction from the scarlet
bandanas, the standards of Indiana and
Kansas were decorated with strips of black
silk, indicating the adherence of the par
ties who bore them to the cause OF the
present Commissioner of Pensions. Under
the canopy formed by the standards a
couple of United States flags were intro
duced, and the tableau, as thus completed,
was greeted with pandemoniac chorus OF
cheers and howls and yells. A young fell

uproar with the mellifiuous strains of q

to the turmoil
Among the audience in the rear of the
delegates, q number of people produced a
flock of big yellow eagles, which by some
arrangement were made to flap their wings,

uproar, they may also have screamed for

CHAMBER CIRCUIT JUDGE q. s.,
TnY-.na I.,,
An Exciting Scene.

ST, LOUIS, June S.-Perhaps no other
political convention ever witnessed the
wild applause that was seen in the
Democratic gathering on Wednesday.
When Mr.. Dougherty finished his speech
at six and q half minutes past twelve, the
delegates and the audience set up q yell
After simply yelling for half minute they
began to get enthused, and some of the more
ardent peeled their coats and commenced
waving them. About this time the door of
the Capitol at the rear of the platform was
swung aside, and in the panel appeared q
portrait of Cleveland, occupying the center
of the facade of the Capitol. Then the
delegates and the audience simply went
wild, and with furious energy worked their
voices and their bodies in their furious
efforts TO testify their approval of the
nomination.
A band somewhere in one of the galleries
started up Marching Through Georgia. "
and the air or the sentiment, nobody knew
which, elected tremendous outburst OF
cheers. At this time about third of the
delegates and perhaps one-fourth Of the au-
dience produced bandana handkerchiefs
and waved them frantically: and in re-
sponse to this fresh incentive. there was an
additional swell in the terrific outburst OF
noise. One lunatic in the gallery took his
his new plug hat and sent in sailing across
the space over the heads of the delegates
and it was caught by a party in the oppo
site gallery with the expertness of pro-
fessional base ball planer. Alter eight
minutes of bedlam, Chairman Collins
thought the thing had gone far enough,
and thumped and pounded for order, but
with every thump Of the gavel arose new
section of yells from the assemblage, and
Chairman Collins relinquished the job in
despair.
