NEW YORK REPUBLICANS.

Robert Earle NOm1naGcu TOR Juas> <,1
the Court eff Appeals-The Admin-
istration strongly Endorsed.
NEW York, Sept. 2.-The republican
state committee met to-day at the Fifth
Avenue hotel. General John N. Knapp,
chairman, called the meeting to order and
made few remarks about the coming
campaign. Twenty-three out of the
thirty -four districts were represented.
The committee on resolutions presented
their report embodying the nomination of
Judge Robert Earle for judge of the court
of appeals, the state party platform and
the decision to dispense with state con-
vention. The last state convention en-
powered the state committee to act in the
nomination of candidate for the court of
appeals should it be deemed unnecessary
to call state convention.
The nomination of Judge Earle was
made unanimous, despite the fact that he
is democrat. The resolutions heartily
commended the conservative, sagacious
and patriotic administration of President
Harrison, and commends the vigorous and
successful efforts of Speaker Reed and his
associates in the house to establish the fact
that the majority in congress is entitled to
the privileges and powers of the majority.
The Mckinley bill, commercial reci-
procity, protection and the federal election
law are strongly endorsed.

HEAVY FAILURE IN COTTON.

The Large Steenstrand Cotton Firm
ofLiverpOol Goes TO the wall.
LIVERPOOL, Sept. 2.-The failure is re-
ported of the large Steenstrand cotton
firm. The brokers of Mr.. Steenstrand,
the noted cotton dealer whose failure is
announced, closed all his transactions yes
terday in accordance with a private ar
rangement which provided for his paying
to them 68 cents on the dollar. The post
ing of Mr.. Steenstrand was the cause of
the heavy fall yesterday in the market, but
prices recovered after it became known
that his transactions had been closed.
Brokers dealing with linn have been par.
ticularly careful to haveeverything hedged
so the crash did very little harm in the
cotton market. A few young and inexpe
rienced firms are the only sufferers. A
year ago Mr.. Steenstrand possessed $780,.
600. Half of this amount was obtained
from the new salt union for his interest il
the Cheshire salt works, 1t is reported
that he now has nothing but the furniture
of his house. His failure is attributed tx
the fall in prices and the collapse of tn,
cotton corner. His losses during July ant
August are estimated at $500, 600.
