year ago, while the aggregate at all other
points outside of New York is % per cent.
ABOVE last years The railroad earnings
still tell the same story.
Inc foreign trade shows less change, and
yet Is heavy. Exports from New York in
May thus far are IL per cent larger than a
year ago, and imports here are Per cent.
larger. In all these comparisons it is to be
remembered that last years movement was
about the largest ever recorded.
AT Chicago the movement of grain and
meats exceeds last years. The dry goods
trade Is good, though not up to last years.
Liberal orders for boots and shoes and larger
sales than for some time are noted, but there
Is slight relapse in clothing; the money
market is unchanged and the prospect
deemed good.
st. Louis reports favorable as to nearly all
lines OF trade, with money in good demand.
Business in Omaha and Kansas City is up
to the average, with some dizziness at Detroit
on account of cool weather, but at these and
all other reporting points this weeks collec-
tons are fair; the money markets are undis-
turbed, and there is apparently much conf
dence IN the immediate commercial future.
The great industries also look better.
In the speculative market wheat has been
stronger, rising cents, with sales of 49,
OOO, 900 bushels here, and the exports continue
fair. Corn has declined nearly a cent and
oats risen as much. Products are all a shade
lower and coffee unchanged. In general,
prices of products are lower than week ago
and will naturally decline as new crops ap-
proach.

It is possible to do this even IN regions Of
country where miasma is most rife, and
where the periodic fevers which it causes as
sumo their most formidable types. The i'm
mense popularity of Hostetter's Stomach

Of Its efficacy as remedy for chills and fe-
yer, bilious remittents, and as preventive of
the various forms of malarial disease. In
those portions of the West and South where
complaints of this nature prevail, and in the
Tropics, it is particularly esteemed for the
protective influence which it exertss, and it
has been very widely adopted as a substitute
for the dangerous and comparatively ineffec-

ToPEKA.-The meeting of delegates to the
State Business Mems Resubmission conven-
ton consisted of delegates as follows:
From Wichita, 81; st. Marys, 1; Dodge
City, 8; Kingman, 1; Leavenworth, 8; Kan
sas City, Kansas, 3, Springfield, 1; Great
Bend, 2: Lawrence, L; Ashland, 1; Coldwater,
l, and Clearwater, 1.
The convention sent two committees to
ask the governor to appear before them. To
each of these he said: 81 should be glad, of
course to meet any citizen of Kansas per-
sonally, and still think the programme
originally indicated is the one 1 shall insist
upon. That is, that the sense of your con-
ventlon may be exressed in the shape of a
memorial in which you set out what action
you desire taken. shall be glad to hear that
memorial, and any remarks that may be
offered at that time. l shall take the memo
rial into consideration. and make my reply
thereto. 1t would look as if l was prejudg-
ing the case if I should attempt to give my
decision at once. / want to be fully as re-
spectful as 1 ought to be and should be, to
any body of citizens residents of Kansas,
and it strikes me that it is perfectly proper
that your reasons for special session, en-
bodied in a memorial, should be presented
here In writing And IN reply, to give to
your request such consideration as 1t should
have. In that way you can present all that
you want to say. prefer to adhere to the
former programme"
Chairman Clements: 81 have said, gov
ernor, that the desire of the convention was
that you should appear with this committee
and they viii present the memorial without
comment"
The governor: ''The understanding was
that the committee to present the memorial
would meet me here in this Office at O'Clock,
and after reading it / would carefully con-
slider it. l am ready to receive it as agreed
upon"
Upon returning to the hall speeches were
made bitterly denOuncing Governor Humph-
rey. The same were repeated and added to
at an evening mass meeting.
The meeting changed the memorial which
had been prepared to present to the gov
ernor, asking that he call an extra session of
the legislature this summer, so as that it is
addressed to the voters of Kansas, instead of
the governor.
The meeting also decided to organize for
political action and appointed committees
to that end.

Homestead Decision Reversed.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May N.-Assistant
Commissioner Stone has rendered decision
in which he holds that soldier who makes a

low of 1872, but who fails to make settle
ment within six months thereafter, does not
thereby forfeit his right to the land unless
some adverse claim intervenes prior to the
date upon which he actually makes settle
ment. The department has heretofore held
that failure to make settlement within SIX
months after the fling is made of it, abso-
lutely forfeits all rights to the land, and
that subsequent settlement cannot cure the

The Eject of the Original Package" Deci.
sion on Butter,


CHICAGO, May 27.-The ''original package"
question is arousing great interest among
the produce men of this city and the country
at large, owing to the effect its settlement
will have upon dairy interests. 1t is claimed
by the dairymen that oleomargarine manu-
facturers can take advantage of the decision
and ship their imitation butter into New
York and other states in defiance of existing
laws which certain conditions prohibit sale,
thus injuring greatly the producers of the
genuine product. The dairymen, it is
claimed, do business on so slender a margin
as to make competition with oleomargarine
impossible. Six months application of tbs
original package to the oleomargarine trade
wonld, it is asserted, ruin two-thirds of the
dairymen now doing business in the state of
New York, and the same interest in other
states would suffer equally. Such being the
case, the National Dairymen's association
has determined to take the matter in hand
and make a fight against Original pack
ages" of any and all kinds. Accordingly the
legislative committee of the association has
arranged to hold a meeting early in June,
when plans for an active compaign will be
