COLUMBUS, Ohio. Sept. 26.-The events of
ments to the effect that the republican SIT
uation in Ohio al tho beginning of an i'm
portant campaign was never before in such
state Of chaos. IrteconcilaLle differences
exist between the regular committee and
the league. the former Sherman creation
and the latter the agent of the Foraker eie-
ment. Many painful days of vain effort
were spent to induce the committee to
recognize the seventv-ninth anniversary of
Perry's victory, fixed upon by the league
for its annual outing as the opening Of the
campaign. but the committee refused Of
fetal recognition and the beggarlv crowd
withheld their following for the obvious
reason that they desired to rebuke the as
sumptlons of the Foraker faction.
The committee met to day and named

These and other difficulties, it is said have
influenced Gov. Mckinley to change his
plans, and he will spend considerable time
in Ohio.

American Commercial and Collecting
Agency Criticised by Patrons.

Many merchants of the city are looking
with distrust upon the organization known
rs the American Commercial and Collect
ing Agency, which several men have been
attempting to organize here during the past
two or three weeks. The organizers of this
concern are ID. T. Gleason and W. 8. Clark.
They claim that the agency has branches
in several states and is doing a large BUSH
ness. Representatives of the Retail Mer-
chants Commercial Association in this
city say that the american" agency does
not have branches III many states" and
that the system il is attempting To use was
stolen from them.
The promoters Of the American agency.
by canvassing the town, secured the
names of many leading business houses as
members of the local agency. Each firm
was TO pay fee Of SIS upon the compile
ton of the organization by election of
officers, and the agency was then to pro-
iect its patrons in the collection of debts
and giving notice of dead beats. etc

Dull Month-Big Catch OF Cod
Brought From Alaska.

August is always dull month, even in
prosperous years. Shipments in the early
part of the month were very dull, but they
improved in the middle, and many vessels
were taken up that expected to remain
idle until the grain season. The business
has really proved better on Puget sound
than on any other part of the Coast. Fol-
lowing is the official report of the business
done at each of the ports, both on Puget
sound and British Columbia during the
month:
The total number Of vessels, sail and
steam, loading at these ports was eighty
nine. the aggregate tonnage being 95.541.
OF this number, sixty-nine. with tom
mage of 69,1S1, loaded on Puget sound,
while twenty. with tonnage of 1880.
loaded at British Columbia ports. Nearly
half of those loading on the Sound took
their cargoes from Seattle. Following are
the shipments from each port:

his return to America, in 1876, he made
his appearance with full orchestra under
Theodore Thomas at the Centennial exhibit
ton at Philadelphia, when at one concert he
played before an audience of 5000 people,
and won an enthusiastic double recall.
Since then he has devoted himself largely
10 teaching, but has also each season ap.
peared in the large cities at some of the
principal concerts and his own recitals.
He is at present director of the piano de-
partment, Chicago Conservatory, Audi

The rush of hop pickers TO the fields
continues to he SO great that extra cars
have had TO be put on the Northern Pa

valley and the Lake Shore trains to Sno-

Northern Pacific road yesterday, and
three extra coaches and two box cars had
to be attached to the o'clock train for
their accommodation. The box cars were
occupied by Indians, of whom another
car load went out in the evening. making
100 the total of that nationality for the
day. OF the whites who have gone so far,
400 went 10 Slaughter alone. The rush to
