vENTlON AT CINCINNATI.

John S. Clarkson Elected President,
Lounsbcrry, of Connecticut, Treasurer.
Resolutions Favoring Protection, Reel
procity and Z Sound Currency,
CINCINNATI, April 22.-Music hall,
famous for its political gatherings, wore
a gala appearance in honor of the
National Republican League v
ton. when it begun its sessions here.
The decorations were tasteful, and flags
and bunting, in abundance graced the
walls, and portraits of Lincoln, Blaine,
Garfield, Harrison and many other dis
tinguished leaders of the Republican
party We're to be seen on all sides, those
of Lincoln and Blaine being central
figures. The places assigned t. the del
egates from the respective states were
designated by neat banners, bearing the
name of the states. TIE hour fixed for
the convention was 10 o'clock noon, but
it was some time thereafter when the
meeting was called to order.
Mayor Mosby, on behalf of the city of
Cincinnati, made the opening address of
welcome. AT the close of his remarks,
ex-Gov. Foraker was introduced and
earnestly welcomed the delegates on be-
half of the Republicans of Ohio.
Chairman Thursuon announced that
Judge H: III. Powers, of Vermont, would
respond i'll behalf Of the national league
to the addresses of welcome. Mr.. Pow.
ers returned thanks for the cordial well
come extended the delegates and con-
graduated the Republicans of Cincin-
natl on the recent election here and ex-
pressed the hope that the welcome news
would soon be sent all over the country
that Mckinley had been elected COVER
nor of Ohio by a rousing majority. He
then spoke on national issues.
Hon. John M. Thurston, of Nebraska,
chairman of the National Republican
league, then addressed the convention.
President Thurstou said:
The night meeting was a magnificent
success. Music hall seated over 5000
people and standing room was at a dis
count. The balconies were almost COM
pletely filled with ladies and, coupled
with the brilliancy of the decorations,
the costumes made up a remarkable
display for a political mass meeting.
President Thurston created a sensation
when he introduced Hon. William Nc
Kinley as the next governor of Ohio,
United States. Mr.. Mckinley presented
a comparative and historical picture of
the great political parties. He made a
statement of the Republican party's po-
sition on public matters for years, say
ing that it was well to remember it's his
tory because it was the only political
party on earth which could look back
on the past without regret and into the
future without fear. Mr.. McKinley's
reference to THAT matchless man, Hair
rison, was loudly cheered.

At Dickinson April Goth.

TIE universal feeling among the
people of western North Dakota is
hope with respect to crop and stock in.
terest of the coming season. They have
entered upon the springs work with
many favorable signs. Farmers are
going to put in an average acreage in
this section, and seem sanguine of a
good crop. There has been an album
dance OF rain this spring and vegeta.
ton is springing forth in all richness
and beauty. But the farmers are not
dependent on crops alone. Nearly
every II has IL small flock of sheep
and a few cattle and horses. And it
is a noticeable fact that those who
make stock-raising their exclusive
business arc increasing the numbers
on their ranges this spring by buying
i'll carload lots and shipping in from
Minnesota, Iowa and Illinois and later
big droves will come up from the
South. The prospective consumption
of beef and mutton at the Worlds
Fair in '03 seems to make Il healthy
stimulant in this line of business;
besides the past winter has been
exceptionally favorable to stockmen
and capital readily seeks invest ment
in this line.

Secretary Foster Says There viii Be No
Surplus Next Year.
WASHINGTON, April 20. -Secretary
Foster was at his desk at the treasury
department Saturday, disposing of bust
ness viii chhad accumulated during his
absence in New York. He expressed
himself as well satisfied with the way
the collectors Office was conducted, but
woul not express an opinion about the
appraisers Office. Secretary Foster re-
peated his opinion. expressed some two
weeks ago, that he did not think there
would be a surplus in the treasury next
year. In view of this he is considering
the a~dyisability of not paying the q 10
per cent. bonds that mature next Sep
TENDER. There are now outstanding
about $50, 600 900 of 41-2 per cents
nearly half of which are held by ma
n banks to secure ci %rculation.
Would Reduce the Interest,
1t is Secretary Fosters idea to follow
the %precendent set by Secretary Win
dom in 1881. He thinks that an agree
ment with the holders of the 4 1-3 per
cent bonds car be made and the interest
put at 2 per cent. The subject will be
considered in all its details. Secretary
Foster says he will make an effort to
place the subdiary coin about 81, 200. OCO
in circulation by getting the banks of
the country to take about $500 or ST, 900
each. He intends to use the S15O,O0O
appropriated for coinage purposes in
coming the $4,000, 0eO in silver dimes
and quarters into standard silver dollars
and issuing silver certificates on them.

MADRID, April 21.-The reciprocity
convention between Spain and the
United States. as drafted by Premier
Canovs Del Castillo, representing Spain,
and Gen. j. w. Foster, representing the
United States, is based, as far as the
United States is concerned, on the third,
or reciprocity section of the new Amer
lean tariff law. In return for the priv
ilege of free entry into the United States
of Antilles sugars, molasses, coffee and
hides, and a reduction of the duty on
tea, America will obtain exemption
from duties on most of her raw and
manufactured products and a reduction
of the tariff on cereals and flour.
The negotiations were protracted up
OF the question of the entire abolition
of the tariff Oh cereals, f1ours and oils,
including petroleum and lard. The
same question in regard to tobacco was
also raised, but not coming within the
scope of the third section of the Ameri-
can tariff law, was put aside.
will Crowd Out Spanish Flour.
Santander merchants declare that
taking into consideration the cost of the
transportation of CASTLE grain, of which
the bulk goes to Antilles, American
flour will crush out the Spanish pro-
ducts in the Spanish West Indies. Cuba
now consumes 100000 barrels of flour
ycarly-chietiy Spanish, which enters
free of duty-and pays for it sic a bar
rel. Trade in American flour, burdened
with an extra duty of 20 per cent since
1889, has been completely wiped out to
the advantage of the Spanish product.
Under the new convention the entry of
American flour practically free of duty
will lower the price to about Sc per bar
rel and will %eStinguish the importation
of Spanish flour while increasing the
Cuban consumption to a million barrels
yearly, all of which will be American
product.
Under the new convention America
will obtain a kind of zollverein with the
Spanish Antilles. Her wheat, beans,
flour, lard, petroleum, manufactured
products and machinery will enter prac-
tically free of duty. Among other
Spanish exports olive oil will be re-
placed by American lard, and beans,
now exported to Cuba in large quanti-
ties. will cease to be sent.
The advantages resulting to Cuba is
great, but it is impossible to estimate
the injury to Spanish trade.
