the hackers of Slavin and endeavor to ar
range fight between Slavin and Sulli-

Alger Not Booming Blaine.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 23.-General AL
ger, with his family, arrived here Sunday,
having made tour of the northwest. In
a conversation with United Press re-
porter he denied that he was booming Mr.
Blaine for the presidency. He said that
Blaine did not want any booming. If the
latter wanted the Republican nomination
for the presidency he could have it and
needed no assistance from him or any one
else

Governor Hin Not a Railway Man.

ALBANY, June 23.-The statement which
has been going the rounds ofthe press that
Governor Hill is interested in a projected
railroad in Ohio with eastern capitalists
and Postmaster General Wanamaker is
untrue. Governor Hill has not now, ard
never had dollars interest in any rail-
road, nor is he connected with one in any
capacity whatever. The story is utterly
without foundation

A Suggestion from GARRISON.

WASHINGTON. June 23.-John S Clark
son, now abroad, has written a letter TO
the state department suggesting that it
would be we'll to have American consuls
devote some attention to proit-sharing

Morrison Agrees with Wike.

Col. Morrison, who has just got back
from the west, was seen. Politically Col.
Morrison never knows anything new. He
protests that he does not by a wink of his
left eye, which by some is interpreted to
mean a suggestion: Have you thought
of my boom for PRESIDENT" After Col.
Morrison declared he knew nothing con-
corning the Illinois Democracy his atten-
ton was called to the opinion of the Hon.
Scott Wike that Cleveland was the favor
lite of the Illinois Democrats. We'll,
don't know but what he is correct. In
fact, am pretty sure that Cleveland is a
favorite in Illinois," he said.

WASHINGTON, June 23.-Hon. David T.
Littler. the well-known politician of
Springfield, is in Washington, and will
cross the ocean in a few days to mingle
with the nobility of Europe, and incident =
ally to study the condition of the laboring
classes and equip himself to take the
stump in Ohio for Major Mckinley on
his return. Littler says Senator Cullom
will be "complimented" with the vote of
Illinois in the Republican convention.
How about Harrison and Blaine?" he
was asked.

'Now, will tell you one thing. For
myself, as between Benny and Jimmy, l
would be for Benny every time, and
think my state is of the same opinion. 1t
is my private opinion that James G.

The Masses for Cleveland.
Hen. Scott Wike thinks Grover Cleve-
land should be nominated by the Democ-
racy in iSD1. The masses are for Cleve-
land and he will surely be the nominee l
know he remarked recently Some
Democratic senators are opposing him.
They couldn't control him when he was
president and hence their hostility. They
say he is against the party on the silver
question. II is likely the bulk of the par

is secondary to the great question of the

rHE WHEAT MARKET.

Mr.. Alexander Parks has been fur
nished the following information in re-
gard to the wheat market. He antici-
pated that there would be just such a
drop as this, and was not caught The
market has given completely away un-
der tremendous pressure Of receipts at
the Northwest and Southwest, coupled
with fine weather at home and abroad.
The longs have edeavored to liquidate,
but each sale recorded a lower range Of
prices until all hope Of the market
striking bottom was discarded, and
holders sold, right and left, irrespective
Of the price. The one idea seemed to
be to sell out, be the price what it
might. This unloading process is ii
strange contrast with the frantic efforts
Of the same parties to purchase some
time back. Confidence in values has
been destroyed, and so long as this is
the case declining market will result.
Europe stands alof watching prices as
they. are beat down, and ready at the
decisive hour to step in and load up at
prices which ten days ago seemed ut
terly impossible. A sharp reaction il
bound to follow such break, but how
far off it may be Is mere guess work.
A decline of five cents more may follow
before thereactionary feeling is brought
about.

An INVESTIGATION.
THE CITY FATHERS THINK THAT TIE
STREET R. 4. co. ARE NOT CON.
PLYING WITH THE ORDINANCE.


There seems to besome objectionson
the part Of our City Council 70 the
manner in which our street railway is
being laid. The council, we are in
formed, is demanding that the Rail-
way Co. lay sewerages at the interven-
ton Of crossings, and were ont in a
body yesterday inspecting same. tits
hoped that such obstacles win be
settled amicably and fairly. Our pco-
pie cannot afford to ininre such an en-
terprise, but should give all encourage
ment possible, and help make the old
town boom. The council also thinks
that the company has not complied
with the requirements Of the ordinance
in the manner Of laying its track. In
many places il Il above the grade Of
the street. Il il thought that Il win
cost the city at least 81 800 70 $1,000
to carry the street cutters beneath the
tracks whereas IN the ordinance il is
specificly set forth that the track shall
be put down without cost TO the city.
The committee appointed to look into
the matter will submit report at an
adjourned meeting to be held tomorrow
night.

Indians In STYLE.

Austin AdUocate: On "Wednesday
last two families of Indians from
Smoky Valley, each composed oil
buck, squaw and papooses, visit
ed Austin to do some shopping
probably to engage for few days
IN the popular game Of Indian
poker. The noticeable features of
the visit Of the semi savages were
that they were all nicely dressed,
and quite intelligent looking
for Indians, and while the bucks
were mounted on the usual cay
use, The squaws and papooses
were riding in a good blackboard,
well painted, drawn by two good
looking horses, one Of the squaws
handling the ribbons tothe Queens
taste. and the rig was driven
straight-way to one Of our livery
stables and there cared for, while
the Indians sought entertainment
at some sub-chief's wickiup on the
brow Of Lander hill.
