from usual drifts. The river division of the

IN THE legislature yesterday a bill was in
trodnced to create a State weather service
o. the same day a resolution was intro
duced declaring that the State is too poor to
pay any more of her debt than that provld-
81 for by the repudlating Riddleberger bill.
This shows that there exists a wide differ
suce in thu minds of the members OF the
legislature in respect of the financial condl'
ton of the State. for the establishment of a
weather service, that will be OF any practical
benefit, must of necessity be a very expen
siVe affair.

But the nomination was not sent in until
Mr.. Johnson had gone before q magistrate
and solemnly sworn that If appointed be

that Mr.. johnson so demeaned himself In

SOME OF the people who have recently ap
neared before the ways and means committee
of the e.. S. House of Representatives as
advocates for the continuance of the exist
ing high tariff, told that committee that tne
tariff on iron ore benefited the laborers IN
,,or mines. The Philadelphia Record,
printed In an iron mining State, says tine
iron ore diggers in Pennsylvania do not get
AN average wage Of 81 per day." There
isn't much benefit in tina, is there? And
vet the iron ore diggers are benefited just
as much by the high tariff as the laborers In
any other protected industry.

Trading has been very light, and without
any pronounced cause prices have steadily
sagged, the closing quotations being about
the lowest of the day. II. Paul and Louis

weak, owing TO free selling, which Is said
10 have been mainly for London account.
The money market abroad is by no means
favorable 10 the bull side Of speculation.
and il is feared that Bank of England
rate will be advanced again tomorrow. In
this event il is quite likely London will be
seller of stocks again tomorrow, and under
such pressure further decline in prices
will probably occur. AtchisOn was an eX-
