Special Dispatch to The EVENING STAR.
COLUMBUS. ONO. July 19.-Gov. Campbell in
an interview today said he did not think the
free coinage plank in the Cleveland platform
could be claimed to represent more than three
fourths Of the party in Ohio. He would not
give his unqualified sanction to the plank de-
manding graded income tax.
When asked if he thought he would be able
to secure the whole vote of his party he said
he felt sure that at least IS per cent of his op-
ponents in the party would support him.
II base this claim, said he, "on expressions
from them and on my knowledge OF human
nature. Politicians understand very well. +"
said he, chow these dissensions disappear after
the nominations are made. especially when the
campaign is q heated one."
Gov. Campbell thinks tina. the tariff will at
once take such q prominent part in the Ohio
campaign to oyershadow all other issues
The republican state platform in
dorses the proposed constitutional amend
ment relating to the taxation of
corporation franchises, but the Cleveland
platform did not mention them. Gov. Camp
bell expressed no regret for this omission, but
said he would vote for them

Stocks Worth Their Prices.

Henry Clews in his Financial Recie,c pub
lished today. says:
1.-THE stock exchange moves along sluggishIy,
with its daily sales of about 100, 600 shares, one
day favoring the bulls and next the bears,
but with no fixed tendency either one way or
the other. Only one thing remains fixed-the
predominant conviction that stocks are intrin-
sically worth the prices at which they are now
held. This estimate protects the market against
the attacks of the room traders but it does not
elicit any outside buying. It may possibly
prove to be the basis of buyirg movement at
some later stage. but at present its benefit to
the market Is rather negative than positive.
''The home influences affecting the stock
market show no material changes. No varia-
tons in the wheat crop have arisen to modify
the original estimates of output. The railroads
maintain their late rate Of earnings. Money
continues to flow hither from the interior,
though in lighter volume, and the banks keep
of the last two years. while the exports of gold
seem to have virtually ceased. To this extent,
the situation is favorable to a recovery of &C.
tivity at a later STAGE

EXTREMISTS NOT SATISFIED.
Meetings to DenOunee the Ministry to ID,
Held i'm Paris.

PARIS, July 1s.-The vote Of the chamber of
deputies yesterday, expressing confidence in
the government has not satisfied the extrem-
lists, who are continuing the agitation in regard
to the Alsace-Lorraine passport regulations
and who have not ceased their attempts to in
cite feelings against the government.
At a meeting of the extremist party, held last
night, it was resolved to call public meeting
to protest against what they term 1.-THE treach,
cry and cowardice OF the government"
During the past night the Strasburg statue
on the Place de la ConcOrde was by some mar
ties unknown enveloped in a large crepe veil.
The police removed the veil and are hunting
for the perpetrators Of this outrage.
LONDON, July l8.-The Times today is severe
in its criticism of NJ. Ribot, the French minis
ter Of foreign affairs, saying, among other
things: "Never did a man invested with such a
responsibility use poorer arguments to ward off
o ridiculous storm. He has not won for France
a single friend, bu. he will leave her more iso-
lated and misunderstood than ever
FREYcISEr WILL, IT Ii SAID REs1oN.
The chamber Of deputies today rejected the
proposal made by N. de Freycinet, president of
the council and minister of war, to grant
the sum Of s120, 900 to the Ecole Polytechnioue
As result the session of the chamber was
suspended and a cabinet council was summoned
to consider the situation. 1t is reported that
d. de Freycinet has decided 10 tender his resig-

George F. Parker. a Cosmopolitan Gambler,
shoots Himself.
New YoRK. July ia London cable dispatch
says that George F. Parker, a gambler of
Brooklyn, New York, London. Paris, Rio
Janeiro and Buonos Ayres, committed
suicide Thursday in his lodgings in
Great Russell street by shooting himself
through the heart. His old cronies recently
deserted him because he had been
convicted of swindling. and life thereafter it is
alleged, became burden to him. Parker leaves
wife and four children in Brooklyn. He has
been living in London with woman calling
herself Mrs. Hamilton, who is heartbroken
over his death 1t is believed in some quar- tiers
that Parker was murdered. but nothing has yet
been learned to substantiate this theory.
HE DUrED FIFTY THOUSAND.
Parker was well known to the police of this
city and his picture is in the rogues gallery.
In 1873 he was arrested here for larceny and
was sent to prison for three years. Previously
he had been arrested in Australia for forgery. In
1881 he was at the head Of concern called THE
British-American Claim Agency" which had
offices in the Stewart building. The offices we're
furnished and mnny young wo-
men were employed as clerks and type
writer's. Circulars we're sent broadcast
throughout the country to thousands of
persons who we're informed that vast
legacies awaited them in this country or
In England. 1t is said fully 50 100 dupes we're
induced to contribute money for alleged
expenses in prosecuting their claims to the my
thical legacies. Parker was finally arrested.
but obtained his release on bail, his wife be-
coming his surety for $4,000. At that time
Parker and his wife, or alleged wife, lived at 1872
First place. Brooklyn.
When the trial was called none of the swind-
ler's victims would appear against him and he
escaped punishment On April %. 1889, war
rant was issued for Parker's arrest on the
charge Of stealing pair of diamond earrings
from a 9Th avenue jeweier named Saich.
He fled the country TO escape arrest and did
not afterward return. Saich was subsequently,
sent to Sing Sing for five years for receiving
stolen goods.
