Mr.. HENRY HYDE of Massachusetts, a
member of the Republican National COM
mittee, probably hits very close to the
mark when he says: The choice of
Minneapolis bias no significance IN regard
to the presidential nomination. 1t is per-
fectly understood that Blaine will be the
nominee, practically without opposition.
ii he does not positively decline before
the convention meets. The Republican
party wishes him to run and no one but
Blaine himself can prevent his nomina-
ton. II he feels that he is not able to
undertake the responsibilities of the cam
paign Harrison will be renominated."
This is the situation In a nutshell.

Outdoor

Every autumn the fashion papers come
out with elaborate designs for hunting
and tramping costumes. Most of them
are extremely coquettish, but entirely
impractical. They are nearly all elab-
crate, tight fitting and theatrical. If
you really like to shoot, your common
sense will show you that scarlet feathers
in your hat and brass or silver buttons
on your gown will be sure to attract the
attention of the game and seriously in
terfere with your chances of bagging
anything.
A shooting dress should be made of
coarse serge or "trousering," as neutral
in color as possible. Made with a toler-
ably short skirt and a loose Norfolk
waist, a cartridge belt, leggings and soft
felt hat you are as web prepared for a
ten mile tramp through the woods or
over the prairies as are your men COM
panions. Corduroy makes good shoot
ing or tramping suits except that it is
apt to cling to the legs and render walk
ing difficult after the first mile or two.
Another excellent material is baseball
flannel, obtainable at any of the larger
establishments where sporting goods are
sold. This is very durable, it will stand
any number of d~renchings and 1t is re
markably cheap.

The Former Causes II Sensation on
the Board of Trade.

CHICAGO. Ill, Sept 9.-The sensation on
the board OF trade was the slump in corn.
During The early par, of the session the
market had been weak, but the decline was
not Of much Importance until the last hour,
when the bottom suddenly went out on 4
rUmOr that clique was beg inning to UNI
load. Then there was 4 wild rush
10 sell, and September, which had
sold early at 66$4c went with 4 rush to
G2l c, and October, which had touched SO
early in the day, broke to 55lsc. \ steady
decline in the wheat pit, where De
cember fell from Csc to $3.50, grad
ually developed the decentralization in
corn. With all the decline, it was
remarked that the clique'S brokers and
managers did not appear TO be disturbed,
and it was further noticed that they did not
sell much corn, leaving that performance TO
the crowd, which sod right
and left. In view of this,
there were few who looked upon
it Us raid, which well enabled the combi-
nation 10 greatly increase its holding. The
wide publicity OF the combination had
brought the selling Of September ard OctO-
Der almost TO Standstill. tut with this
break, large purchases We're made possible
and at low prices compared with those cur

Special to the Gazette.
GALVESTON, Ten, Sept 9-At 4 previous
meeting of the city council resolution was
adopted directing the city attorney to iu-
quire into the status of the Galveston city
street railway company, in which the city
is large shareholder, and if he deemed
1t necessary to subserve and protect
the interests of the city to institute pro
ceed.ngs with 4 view of placing the COM
pany in the hands of a receiver. This reSo-
luton was in line with 4 report submitted
by the city attorney, wherein he recon-
meuded that such i course be adopted.
He predcated his reasons upon Il suit
now pending against the Gulf City street
railway and real estate company, which,
after obtaining Il valuable franchise from
the city. consolidated with the Galveston
City street railway company In violation of
the contract with the city when
it obtained its franchises and III
jeopardy of the city's interest in
the line At the meeting of the city coun-
oil this evening the respective street rail
way companies, through their presidents,
petitiOned the council to delay action
as indicated by the resolution, and
enphaticauy denying that they had
in any manner violated their
contract with the city or attempted TO sub
vert its interest and asking that before
legal proceedings We're instituted, the
council, by committee, thoroughly
investigate the affairs of the re-
spective companies. The city attorney
also submitted report which after Scath-
ingly reviewing the petition of the Calves
ton city street railway company which ad-
mitted that their property valuation was
81, 100000, only returned it for assessment
at 1927. 900, recommended that a thorough
investigation of the affairs OF the
street railway company be had before
legal proceedings We're taken. This was
concurred in by the council. and a commit
tee of three was appointed to act in con-
junction with the city attorneys to investi-
gate the affairs Of the street
railway companies and report
at the next regular meeting of the council.
If what is true, as IS alleged by some mem
bers OF the council, the investigation will
disclose some very peculiar features in the
street railway business of this city.
