Candidates and Their PromoterA

Candidates and Their PrOmOterA
Representative hall in the Kansas staAe
house was, finely decorated for the occasion
of the republican state convention.
The first thing that attracts the eyes of tho
delegates as they enter the main entrance is
a heroic picture of President Harrison over
the speakers stand and covering the clock.
1t is draped with flags and bunting and two
handsome silk flags hang in graceful folds
on either side. The chandeliers on the
speakers stand are almost hid from view by
flags and bunting, while red, white and blue
electric light globes add their beauty to tho
decorations.
Suspended in mid air in front of the ladies'
gallery, in letters three feet high, is the word
''American;" made of tin pie plates, and
over the main entrance is pyramid of tin
cans draped with flags. From the cent,
chandelier is suspended large globe, III

ers of the hall fancy bunting Is suspended.

"a. r. Ford for Secretary of State"
They formed at the depot and marched
eral mascots.
A delegation from Wichita. six hundred

From Equator to the Pole.


LONDON, June 3O.-The second congress OF
the chambers of commerce of the British
empire is in session.
Among the resolutions was one by Mr..
Medley, declaring that fiscal union between
Great Britain and her colonies, by preferen-
tial duties, would be politically disastrous,
and that the arrangement that would best
conduce to an intimate commercial union
would be for self lf-governing colonies to adopt,
a. closely a. circumstances would permit,
the on-protective policy of Great Britain.
Sir Charles Tupper. Canadian high COM
missioner to England, opposed the motion.
He said the American Mckinley bill showed
no favor to Great Britain. There were risks
of the American octopus throwing his tenta-
titles. with view to driving out British
trade, and it was gong to do 50. British
consuls reported that Great Britain had lost
Brazil and that Amerlca was getting a hold
under her reciprocity system. Americans,
he declared, did English commerce greater
wrong than did the Mckinley tariff, in their
efforts to drive England out of the southern
hemisphere.
They attacked Canada also under the mis-
taken idea that by imposing duties upon pro-
ducts for which they are Canada's natural
market, they could bring Canadian producers
to their knees and leave the Canadians no
States. Sir Charles said that in 1880 Canada
took one-seventh of the manufactured ex-
ports of the United States, but that was not
enough to save them, in the presence of the
Monroe doctrine, from one government from
equator to pole.
Other Canadian delegates supported tho
preferential policy.

Beware Of Foreign Estate Claims.

LONDON, June 3.-Rotert T. Lincoln,
minister from the United States government,
authorized the following notice to be issued:
''In consequence of the continued coming
of many American letters to the United
States minister in regard to sending money
to William Lord Moore, of London, as an
agent for prosecuting claims to property in
England, it is requested that wide publicity
be again given to the fact that in February
last the United States legation with the aid
of the metropolitan police made an investi-
cation, and would suggest that Moore is .

CINCINNATI, Ono, June 30.-Amons dele
gates to the prohibition national convention
there is a good deal of talk about fusion with
the peoples party in the event of the latter
adopting satisfactory prohibition plank at
Omaha.
President Francis e. Willard, of the Wo-
mans Christian Temperance Union and a
delegate from Illinois, said that she proposed
to struggle at every favorable opportunity
for the adoption OF resolutions by the con-
vention, pledging the prohibition party to
withdraw their presidential candidate, if the
presidential candidate of the peoples party,
nominated at Omaha. shall be satisfactory
to the national prohi bition committee. and
authorizing the executive committee to de-
termine whether the Omaha nominee is sat-
isfactory. Miss Willard's idea is, however,
that the prohibition party organization
should remain intact, and that the campaign
be fought on prohibition lines, while the peo-
pies party organization should conduct the
battle from their side on the industrial
iSSUes

TRADE STRONGER:
Especially in the West; Good
Crop Prospects.
Situation of Great Industries More Favor.
able Except in IrOn-WOnderful Re-
ceipts of Wheat and Corn, With
Comparatively Small Exports.

New YORK, June N.-R G. Dun d CO.. q
Weekly Review of Trade says:
Another week has passed with great i'm
provenent in growing crops; in wheat 80
great change in the condition appears that
men begin to question whether the yield this
year will not closely approach the unprece-
dented crop of 1891. For other grain and
cotton the outlook is decidedly better, and
there is reason now to hope for highly salts
factory results from the years agriculture.
In consequence there is a stronger trade
throughout the country, especially in the
west.
The improvement is less marked at the
south, owing to the very low price of cotton
and the continued high waters in some re-
gions.
One point of anxiety is the wage dispute in
iron manufactures, while in other great in
dustrieS the situation is clearly more favora-
bic than usual.
Copper IS & lower, large sales being
reported at III cents.
Tin has taken a sudden fall to 214 cents
and lead is lower at 4.5 IL some transactions.
Coal dull, outsiders selling below combina-
tion prices.
The boot and shoe manufacture is entering
upon season expected to be one of unprece-
dented activity.
There Is fairly large business in low grade
woolens and the sales of wool are better than
usual for the season.
Print cloths are strong at 33s cents.
Speculation has not been especially active
and wheat is unchanged in price, though
western receipts are 2,O0O, 900 bushels in thirty
days and the exports are only 1900 bushels.
Corn receipts at the west are 2, 4O0, 900 BUSH
els in three days, with small exports, but the
price has advanced cents and oats cents.
Polk products unchanged, but oil is ~
lower and coffee 3s lower.
In every part of the country money is in
abundant supply and the demand at nearly
all points is only moderate, collections being
generally quite satisfactory for tho season.
The business failures throughout the coun-
try during the last week were 100. compared
with 179 the preceding week and 234 for the
same week of last year.

Cincinnati's Hills Sliding.

A most unusual accident is affecting a
small portion of the hillside portion of
Cincinnati ON East Sixth street, near Gilbert
avenue The locality is a steep hillside on
which houses have been built
Not long ago a sewer broke under ground,
and its leakage has so sOftened the earth that
landslide 800 feet wide has started. 1t
moves slowly, but has already wrecked half
dozen or more houses and is threatening
many more.
The building inspector has ordered all fam
lilies in its path to move out of their houses
The damages already are estimated at $40
600. If the avalanche is not stopped, it will
cross Sixth street and stop only when il
reaches the depths of Deer Creek valley.

National Cold Water ConventtoN

plenty of that article. A terrific downpour
of rain and the all night session Of the CON-
mittees, combined to- give the prohibition
delegates bedraSgled appearance, as in
scattering groups they came into their ma
uonal convention hall for what was expected
to be the elimination of the proceedings.
The platform committee was still in session
when the convention was called to order.
The subcommittee had worked incessant-
ly until a. H., aud had made q report to
the full committee when the fight ensued
over the tariff and silver ptanks, the sub COM
mittee also having been divided on these
two points. The free-cOinage men were
beaten in subcommittee. and the plank, as
submitted TO the full committee, was antago-
nistic to free coinage.
A vote for presidential candidate was reached
which gave general John Bidwell. of Califor-
mia, $50 to 139 for Demorest, of New York.

The Operator to Blame. =

HARRISBURG, Pa, June oh. S. Hayes,
operator at the Steelton tower, has been ar
rested on a charge of manslaughter. Friday
night he was acting as substitute for William
Good. He allowed the second section of the
train to enter the block before the first Sec
tiOn had passed out. He admitted that he
gave the signal for the second section to pass
on without waiting for the notice. He also
had company in the tower contrary to the
rules.
The engineer of the second section declares
that he heard no caps explode, though the
rules require the signals to be placed on the
track by the flagman.

Pennsylvania Iron and Steel Workers.
PIrrsBURG, Pa, June 3O.-The Homestead
workmen are awaiting the word to strike,
and tho Carnegie officials are prepared for
the worst. In Homestead the promised ulti
matum is talked of on every corner. Some
believe that the firm may ask for another
conference, but the majority think the de-
claration will be only in the shape of def
mite statement that on and after June 81,
1892, any person desiring work must accept
the company's scale. When the discharge of
100 men engaged In the open hearth depart
ment was noised about not little sensation
that tho move was only the first OF hostile
kind on the part of the firm. These views
were soon dispelled when the leading men,
bers o. tho Amalgamated association stated
that the discharges were due to tho closing
down of six furnaces which require repairing.
There Ii not Q man, woman or child In
Homestead who believes there will not he q
strike, in fact, murmurings of q strike are
heard on every side, and it Is not stretching
the truth to say that the 1900 union workmen
are ready to lay down their tools at a mo
ment's notice. All hopes of a settlement
have failed, and only the stearn reality of a
lengthy strike confronts every person In the
usually busy little town. The feeling at
present between the employees and the firm
marks heard on the sidewalks are anything
but complimentary to some of the officials of
the firm.
Ample preparations on the part Of the
company for any emergencies that might
arise have been made, and a glance at the
company's big plant, fortified as it is with
high fences, and strong ones, too, gives one
the impression that quite an attack must be
made ere an entrance is gained. The en-
ployes have given a new name to the plant,
and in their opinion it is perfectly suitable
for the surrounding. Fort Frick" Is the IT,
tie selected by the men.
The point in dispute has changed from the
question of a minimum basis on steel billets
to that of the time of signing the scale. The
firm is steadfast in insisting that all scales
shall last only until January l, while the
workmen are opposed to any expiration of
agreements entered into before June 30.
Both sides are determined on this point, and
hitch will certainly occur. Every move
made by either side this week will be care
fully watched.

CHESTER, ENGLAND, June 22.-Since tho
assault on Gladstone, it has been ascertained
that the guilty person is a woman and that
the missile which she employed was large
piece of hard gingerbread. Tho ginger
bread was thrown with considerable force
and struck Gladstone on the Lose, just be-
meath the left eye, and then glanced upward,
grazing the aged statesman's eye and caus.
ing HIM much pain. Gladstone endured great
discomfort throughout the drive to the place
where the meeting was held. As the pain in
creased he began to fear his eye was serious
ly injured and decided to seek medical a.
sistance as soon as possible. When Glad
stone arrived at the headquarters of the lib
eral club, two doctors were Immediately sum-
moned. They made a careful examination
and found the injured eye considerably in
famed, and the skin on his nose grazed.
They applied some alleviating remedies and
succeeded IN moderatIng the pain which the
patient was suffering. After copiously bath
ing the eye with the wash prescribed by the
doctors Gladstone felt somewhat relieved and
decided to address the meeting.
In spite of the disturbing incident which
marked his visit to Chester, Gladstone made
a spirited speech, which was applauded
throughout, and at its close the speaker re-
ceived an ovation.
Mr.. Gladstone complained of the difficulty
which he experienced IN reading certain
quotations during his speech, and when he
had finished speaking he found the injured
eye had become painful and was becoming
irritated by the use it had been put to. Mr..
Gladstone again sought the assistance of the
doctors and they made another examination.
Apparently the injury which had been in.
flicted was considered serious enough to
warrant the sufferer in taking the greatest
precaution to prevent any serious conse-
9uences, a. Gladstone at once repaired to the
Office of an oceulist and placed himself in his
hands for treatment

BERLIN, June 28.-The interviews between
Signor Brin, Italian minister of foreign
Affairs, Chancellor Won Caprivl and the en-
peror have resulted in the promise of Ger.
man support for Italian finances, on condi-
tion that the Italian army and navy be
sustained ut their present strength. King
Humbert proposed large reduction in the
army, reported to bc as much as 5000 men,
pleading absolute financial necessity for such
reduction. The emperor succeeded in per.
suading him against making the reduction,
mainly through pledging the assistance oi
the leading banks of Germany for the pur-
chase of existing Italian boni is; and also, il
required, the assistance of a syndicate to take
the new Italian loan.
