material change In quotations. Sugar, however.

and heavy generally at small fractions better

THE THIRD PARTY MOVEMENT.
1t IL Likely to Be Injured by the Cincinnati
Convention.

1t Ii Likely to Be Injured by the Cincinnati
Convention.
Special STAFF Dispatch to The Evening Star
CINCINNATI, May 20.-This convention can
not be considered as representative of the
third party movement or as in the interest Of
that movement though majority Of its pro-
motors SO regard it. II is on the con-
trary one of the dangers which lilo
in the way Of the proposed new organ
ization. 1t Is an irresponsible assemblage
Of men who believe in the alliance or some
other organization designed to aid the laboring
masses VINO are not organized and acting with
any steady purpose. 1t is such q meeting as is
apt to furnish opportunity for disagreement
that might wreck the whole alliance scheme.
1t leaves no doubt, however, of the earnest
ness OF the purpose to contest ground with two
old parties in the next presidential campaign.
The element of weakness is the uncertainty Of
the various elements possessing cohesive
qualities which will hold them together long
enough to start new party. If the conserva-
tives can control this meeting escaping the
dangers that threaten them; If they can give
the convention neutral quality the third
party movement will have been given q great
shove forward.
SENATOR cARLIsLE's VIEW.
Senator Carlisle, who has returned to his
home In Covington, said to me Monday evening
that he did not think the various elements in
terested in the movement could hold together
long enough to form q great party. 1t was
difficult, he said, to form compact body in
politics or any class, trade or profession.
He regarded the movements seriously, how
ever, and said that there was OF necessity much
that was good in any such movements. That
Its purpose was to accomplish good, and it was
merely question OF method of what would ac-
complish most good for the people gen.
orally. All such movements, he said,
grew out of the need of some sort of
reform and the men interested in them were
generally reasonable, and if it was pointed out
to them so that they could see it that there
was better method than that they we're adj
vocating they would adopt the better. J.P. N.

Assistant Secretary spaulding has informed
New Orleans firm that the Treasury Depart
meHt lie considering the question as to
whether any regulations for an allow
ance Of drawback on articles alleged to
have been manufactured from imported to-
bacco can be established without rtreme dan
ger 10 the revenue. The firm suggested
the establishment Of bonded factories
for the manufacture OF cigars clea-
rettes, &C, exclusively from imported
materials, sffording the most efhciens
safeauar against fraudulent claims for draw
back on articles manufactured from domestic
tobacco, the danger Of which Ia acknowl-
edged TO be exceptionally great by
reason Of the high duty on foreign tobacco and
the impossibility of distinguishing domestic
tobacco from foreign when manufactured
into cigars, cigarettes or prepared for smok-
ing. Assistant Secretary spsulding says there
is no authority in the existing Law for the e.
adjustment of such bonded factories.
