A conference of Democratic leaders was held
in this city on Wednesday. II is believed that
the subject under consideration was the Speak
ershp of the Assembly, in which the Democrats
will have majority of four. From indications
now dscernible ii looks as if there would be a
struggle over the Speakership question between
the Assemblymen of New-York and Brooklyn
and those from tho other districts of the State.
At any rate, there will be no lack of candidates,
and the leaders are likely to have their hands
full is settling their conflicting claims. A Sc
lection less fit than that made by the last AS
sen,bly il would be hard to make.

day. Similar meetings are to be held hereafter
in other large cities, eliminating in great peace
convention to take place in Chicago during the
Columbian Exposition. The speakers and all
taking part in or witnessing the exercises yester-

to petition the Governments of the world to cease
going to war, and to resort to arbitration in
setting international disputes. The movement

The increase in the aggregate is S19.210S97,
| or 2S per cent. There is no reason to expect
a similar increase in the multitude of remaining
| items, which amounted in November, 1890, to
! 500, ,49032e in value, and possibly some de-
| crease may have occurred. But if the value of
| the remaining exports was only as great as a
year ago, the total value for the month would
be over $10S, 900, and since there is no
reason TO expect decrease Of as much as
S.. 900, 900, or one-quarter in these minor ex-
ports it seems safe to say that the total value in
November was greater than in the month OF
October or in any previous month.
Foreign loss of crops accounts for part, but
not by any means for the whole OF this increase
year ago the breadstuffs movement was OK
ceptionally light, because of speculative opera
tons and short crops here, and return to the
normal amount might have been expected even
if foreign crops had not been short. But the
movement this year has indeed been phenomenal
amounting to S129, 9,796333 in value for five
months, counting only the shipments from the
principal ports for November, and from all ports
for the four preceding months of the crop year.
and the aggregate for an entire year has exceeded
that amount only twice during the last six
yeals. Included are Of wheat and -four consid-
eraby more than the equivalent of 100, 900, 900
bushels wheat and there is now every reason
to expect that the shipments during the remain
ing seven months may be as great as those of
the first five months making an aggregate for
the year far exceeding any past record.
But the cotton exports have also been extraor-
dnaiy. In November these were $50, ,S61 ,259
pounds, and the exports have never been as
arge in any other month. Though the increase
in value was only $3,441,000 or less than s
per cent, the increase in quantity was 10000

extent of this terrible calamity has not been

given by Vice-Consul Kito convey the facts in an
impressive manner. The japanese Government

the distress, but more money is needed. Even

The dedication of the Drexel Institute was a

splendid building has been erected through the
generosity Of Mr.. Anthony j. Drexel who has IN
addition, provided an endowment of 81 100000.
This is magnificent gift for the cause OF edu-
cation. The grateful thanks Of all Philadelphians
as well as of all friends Of liberal learning, are
due 10 Mr. Drexel. The Drexel Institute has
apparently been modelled on nearly the same
lines as the noble Pratt Institute in Brooklyn
and is designed to fill similar field. The dedi-
cation exercises, which are fully described on
another page were appropriate and impressive.

Suit Against the Sugar King Iof
a Million.


The steamer Australia, which
arrived yesterday from Hawan,
brought news of a sensation al
Honolulu in the way OF a mhhoh'
dollar suit to be tried before the
Supreme Court of the Hawaiian
Kingdom during the July term:
This suit involves the largest
amount of money of any ever
brought in the Hawaiian Kingdom
It has been entered at the IN
stance of Colonel George w. Mac
farlane, Chamberlain to the late
King Kalakaua, against the Ha-
waiian Commercial and sugar
Company, the largest sugar estate
in the islands, of which the Spreck-
elses have the controlling interest.
A SUIT FOR EJEcTMENT.
The suit is for ejectment and
damages to the extent OF Sl,oOo'-
900 for the use of the greater por-
ton of the finest tract OF Land IN
the islands, some 10000 acres, an
undivided half of which, it Is set
forth in the complaint, has been
| owned by Colonel Macfarlane's
sugar company for years. =
The complaint was not hled ID
the Supreme Court calendar TILL
just after the sailing OF the Zea-
landia June 10th, but it is supposed
that few on the inside got infor-
nation of it and sent letters by
that steamer, advising their friends
in San Francisco to unload thell
Hawaiian Commercial stock before
the arrival of the Australia, which
would carry news of the suit en-
tered for the July term OF the
Court.
The Spreckelsville Plantation
since it's commencement, has crop
ped over $4,000 tons of sugar, O
which 10000 tons has been take1
from the land in question, and TO-
which no accounting, it is alleged
has ever been made.

states, each own an undivided halt
