HOPING AGAINST llOPB.

Mrs, Hayes Condition Does Not Improve
sympathy from Everywhere.
FREMoNr, o., June 2S.-Ex.Pr President
Hayes and family are still anxiously
and prayerfully watching for a ray OIL
hope for the recovery Of the wife and
mother. 1t Is now over iorty.eight
hours since the attack and there is no
manifest change for the better in the
condition Of Mrs, Hayes. The ministers
Of the different churches to-day made
touching references TO her illness In
their prayers and there Is a feeling Of
sadness over the whole city and all are
anxious TO hear q word from her bed
side.
At noon to-day DR.. Buchard Hayes
went to the depot to meet friends and
he expressed himself as not hopeful. AT
9 o'clock Drs. Rice aud Hill said there
was no appreCiable change, and yet II
there was, her condition was not regard
ed as favorable twelve hours before.
DR.. Rice said that he had known cases
where they remained in the same con.
dltion for ten days, then grow worse and
remained so for a period Of ten days
more aud then recovered.
kilograms Of sympathy continue to
pour In from oil parts Of tho United
States.

Declarations that He Does not Desire

stances,.NIcKInley Won't have
It Under any Condition,

coLuMsus, Ono, June es.-The belief
here seems to be practically universal
that Foraker will be renomlnated. There
are exceptions, Of course, but the drifts
all that way. Az the outset, however, 1t
is proper to bear in mind that any iudg-
ment at present Is simply one arrived at
from general observation and impression,
and is not based on carefully balanced
calculationsor estimates. So far as heard
from, very few delegations are pledged
or instructed, and there is a notable
backwardness on the part Of delegates
ndeclaringt themselves. Thegreatbulk
Of the delegates will come here prepared
to do the best tbing-to discuss the situ-
alton one with another, and to take up
that man whose nomination would be
most likely presage the unity Of the party
and consequently victory.
Governor Foraker Is In peculiar and,
In some respects, delicate position.
Yet 1t is manly one and perfectly con.
sistent. There can be no doubt as to
where he stands, Last night he was
exactly where he was two months ago.
II has been emphasized and made more
prominent, but that has been by force OF
circumstances and by what those who
advocate or prophecy his nomination
call "the logic Of the situation" Cover
nor Foraker says-and he has right along
said-that he was not q candidate and
that he did not desire the nomination
but he has never said that he would not |
accept the nomination II given him.
The time was when the latter contin.
gency was not a consideration, but dur
ing the past few weeks 1t has been, and
from the first time the question has
been put to him the Governor has
frankly stated that he would accept II
the Convention nominated him. With
out unnecessarily going into private at.
fairs, tits legitimate to say that some
time ago the Governor made arrange
ments looking to a resumption Of the
practice OF his profession at Cincinnati.
The Governor has obligations that rem
dersuCh a step oithe utmost Importance,
and these obligations, outside OF other
considerations, interpoae between him
and Senatorial career, at least for some
years yet. Still, 1t would not be proper
TO present the Governor as martyr.
As between the Goyernonhip and the
senatorship, the Governor would, for
many reasons, prefer the former; and II
he were again nominated and elected
Governor, the presumption is justified
that he would serve out bis term, al
though tits doubtful whether he has
ever committed himself on that point.

NOT A CANDIDATE.

Mckinley says hO will not Permit his Name
to be Used for the GoVernorship OF Ohio.
CANTON, o., June 2S.-Aiter persist
emily declining to talk about the Cover.
norship, Major Mckinley, the tariff
champion and the Sherman disciple
whose refusal Of support for President
at Chicago nearly took away the breath
Of the Republican National Convention, O
last night first allowed himself to be
quoted. ofcourse 1t is known here that
for weeks he has been besieged by soliCi.
tations To come out as a candidate and
that he has declined, but as he would
never consent 10 be talking about him
self and the Governors office, no one Is
ever thought to have received an atom
OF encouragement thathe might become
a candidate.
He talked last night because Of the
story from CadiE OF the gathering OF
Eastern Ohio Republicans TO urge his
nomination against his declarations and
claiming TO know what they were about
and that lie would accept, This report
stirred up the hopes Of the local McKin-
ley boomers and they wanted To know
why Cadiz had the first knowledge on
the subject, but Mckinley gave them no
hope and said 10 the correspondent who
called on him:
''I am not candidate for Governor,
nor will l permit the use Of my name
before the Columbus convention for
that office. ! mean this, and every
word oft. Thcrea are many reasons to
influence me to this conclusion which l
need not name. Those shall name are
sufficient II there were no others.
~ have said TO some OF the candidates
now in field and 10 their friends that
under no circumstances would l be a
candidate, and could not accept the nom
nation. To what extent, II at all, this
may have influenced the candidacy Of
others do not know, but whether little
or nothing, 1t is ample reason why ]
should not be q candidate, and should
demand that my friends shall desiSt from
the use OF my name In that connection.
"All Of the candidates are my personal
friends, and one Of them Is a citizen oi
my district who early advised me Of his
candidacy and to whom l promised
cheerful support, and no contingency
can arise which would induce me To
place myself, or permit myself To be
placed, In even apparent opposition to
him or the other honorable gentlemen
ConteBting for the nomination"
"But, Mr.. Mckinley, II Is said that i
is your duty TO accept the nomination II
rendered you, Notwithstanding you are
not a candidate; In fact that u Is call
10 duty which you must obey"
"Yes, but, my dear cir, don't you know
there Is no public duty which demands
the sacrifice Of good faith to party asso'
Ciates2" 7"
The Major would not risk his opinion
as 70 whot the nominee would bd. He
said, however, that he expected 10 attend
the Columbus convention.

WOOL AND NEllL
Riadstreeps Weekly. Report on the state
OF Trade.

1
NRw YoRE, June q. -BrddsFsst'I says;
Manufacturers have bought wool very
freely in all the markets this week, and
the amount Of trade has exceeded any
previous week for several months, The
high prices which the new clip com.
mands in the country naturally create q
feeling Of confidence In the value Of
what old supplies remain on hand,
Though the outlook for Woolen goods is
not particularly bright It has been
worse, and there appears to be nothing
In the situation 10 promise cheaper raw
material during the coming season, The
supply Of new wool on the seaboard Ia
constantly increasing-wool for which
comparatively high figures have been
paddy dealers. Ant markets agree
In reporting increased tlrmness as well
as activity.
The probable effect Of higher cost Of
wool on the goods market Is suggested
In the following paragraph from the
american Wool Reporter: while pres
ent purchases Of wool In the interior In
anticipation ofa future advance at the
seaboard are purely speculative, yet the
feeling in the woolen goods market ls
becoming more hopeful, AS there Is no
certainty Of any lower prices OF wool this
year than those now current, We should
say manufacturers would be very unwlse
TO take orders for goods except at a profit
above present prices OF wool,n
Wool has sold well at Boston, where
prices are very firm, though not quoted
higher than q week ago, Fine Ohio se-
lections are scarce and In better request.
Unwashed Michigan is in demand, but
new washed Is still wanting, Combing
woods are quite generally called for be-
Ing relatively cheap,
The sales OF the week at Boston are re-
ported at 4,79S,800 pounds, as against
3,0ls, 900 pounds last week and 2,70i, 800
pounds In the corresponding week q
year ago.
AT Philadelphia wool Is very firm, and
values OF most descriptions are fully lc
per pound higher than they were aweek
lgo. Receipts and sotCks are light,
Manufacturers are buying cautiously,
but as many woods are cheaper here
han In the new clip districts there Is q
'peculative demand from dealers. The
market generally shows more activity
md rising tendency.
Eastern pig iron markets are more
lctlve for spot, and there have been ad.
lanCes Of 25c per ton here and there. As
rule, however, prices are firm and un.
changed, There Is some difference Of
opinion whether the renewed demand
las spent itself or whether 1t precedes q
continuance Of increased activity. Steel
ails are also fairly active az S27, 7,60aS2S,

American railroad securities were Inc

PlrrspuROu, Pa, June 2S.-Harry
Flamm, book.keeper at the Marine Ma.
tional Bank, was placed in Jail last even
ing on a charge OF embezzlenent. 1t is
claimed that he ialsiaed the books and
appropriated to his own use in two years
$4,000. lie is not yet OF age, but had
distinguished himself before by running
away with Colonel Kilgore's daughter,
and marrying her in New Jersey. Bail
was fixed at 5000, but lie was unable
to get It. What he has done with the
money will yet make a good story.
Harry Flamm is mere boy. As near
as can he nscertained he is not over 10
years Of age. His father, who was well
known in Pittsburgh, but nota wealthy
man, died seven years ago. Young
FlNmm was one Of the persons who at
tracted confidence. He had good edu.
cation, and was especially quick at
figures.
The directors Of the bank had no rea.
son to suspect that anything was wrong
with Mr.. Flamm's accounts until they
learned TINT he had bought house IN
The East End for $500. AS his salary was
SO month, they couldn't understand
how he could make so much money In
80 short time. They accordingly put
detectives on his track, and found that
Mr., Famm was not 80 attentive TO his
home as he might be. They learned that
he went around the city at nights with
500 to $500 in bis pockets and made an
exhibition Of his wealth. Itwas learned
that he had spent as much as 500 In one
night, and more than two.thirds Of that
sum in one house.
The removal Of the Marine Bank to
its present location gave opportunity for
looking over the accounts. They found
that Mr., Flamm had been Systematically
falsifying accounts, making false records
and forcing false balances. II was only
yesterday afternoon that these facts were
found, and the Board directed Mr..
O'Neill, the President, 10 make the in.
formation, which was accordingly done.
MIR. Flamm's case Is one out OF the
ordinary run Of bank deialcations. He
had been in the bank only two years,
and is not yet Of age, and was not Of bis
own merit placed in such a responsible
position.
