Review OF the Market,


Henry Clews "Woekly Financial Review" is
sued today, says:
During the past week the ''bears'' seemed to
take a new lease Of power and for time main-
tanned ascendency. Early in the week London
became free seller on this market, as some
suppose partly on short and principally on
Louisville and Nashville, about whose financial
condition foreign holders are reported to have
received advance information. This opened a
new weak spot, to which the ..bears' gave
prompt attention. A temporary injunction is
sued in New York against Reading also caused
some selling Of that stock. which. however, was
found to be well supported. The professional
traders paid some special attention also TO Rock
Island and Burlington and Quincy. probably
to offset the fact of both stocks being very
largely oversold. These. however. were incl
dents Of no great intrinsic Importance. and the
matter of chief interest in connection with
them was that the bulls should have per-
mitted them to have the effect they had upon
the tone of the market. On Thursday. how
ever, change came over the spirit of the
dream Of the ''bears." The leading seller
seemed to have concluded that the short" in
terest was growing quite dangerously large,
and hence there was a general buying move
ment to cover those contracts.
The supreme condition affecting the stock
market Is the crop prospect At influenced by
the current weather, and that factor is now less
uncertain than 1t was a week ago. Expectations
as to the wheat crop are improving, but are still
strictly moderate.
The general trade Of the country, excepting
the cotton states and California, may be re-
garded as reasonably prosperous. The increase
OF railroad earnings chow that the volume of
products moved exceeds all precedent
Taking tae situation and the prospects as a
whole. we construe them az fairly favorable to
securities, but ut the moment there ore certain
undevelOped factors which tend to hold con-
servative operators in check; and we therefore.
for the present, counsel buying on drops and
realizing upon moderate profits

Messrs. Chase and Wolf Present-A State
ment From Chairman Davis.
Special Dispatch to Tho Evening STAR
MINNEAPoLIs, June 4-Shortly after Perry
Carson's arrival here Simon Wolf made his
appearance at the West House prepared to
present his side of the. case to the national
committee, and he had with him a bundle Of
printed briefs setting forth that VIM. Calvin
Chase and Simon Wolf were the only regularly
elected delegates from the District of Columbia.
He also had with him letter from Maj. A. H.
S. Davis, chairman of the republican central
committee of the District
In his letter Maj. Davis states: "The only ex-
cuse Mr.. Carson and his followers have for
boiling from the authority of the chairman of
the central committee exercised in the call con-
venlng the new committee man for organization
purposes Is that the national committee abolished
the republican central committee of this
District and that as its chairman
fell with it and that he
should have signed both calls with me- But I
submit this is untrue. Their premises are mis-
leading and false. The national committee au-
thorized Mr.. Carson to sign with me joint call,
naming the places for holding the primary meet
ings. Beyond that the national body delegated
him no authority and he had no power to act.
In converting the new committeeman acted
strictly in accordance with the requirements
of the constitution of our organization and the
usages of our party in this District To recog-
nize the body that organized under Carson's
instructions as the legitimate republican CEN
trail committee of this District would be to en-
courage boiling and disorganization that at NO
distant day might lead to the disintegration, il
not humiliation, of our party as a national
body. In conclusion, Carson had no right
to act as he did, his committeeman did not
meet and organize on the Tuesday succeeding
their election, as the constitution of our or
committee to order was not even a member of
the committee, and all the proceedings from first
to last were in violation and defiance to all rules
of political right and subversive to harmony
and good organization. 10 recognize Carson
and GleesOn the delegates from this city to
the national convention would be equivalent to
offering prize to men who, because they could
not have things their own way bolted from the
regular, legitimate course of accomplishing
ends and set up their own standard of action"
Chairman Clarkson promised to give Mr.. Wolf
a hearing before the committee some time dur
ing the afternoon.
Mr.. Wolf did not show much confidence, as
the matter was practically settled in advance in
favor Of Carson and Gleason.
carson has stated to me-" said Mr.. Wolf this
afternoon, that this is . Blaine convention
and the Blaine people will see that Chase and
myself do not get in. However, intend to
make the fight" JPN.

this morning that it made no difference whether
Mrs. Blaines message to Emmons was authentic
or not. or whether or not Mr.. Blaine would &C
cept, he believed Harrison would get the nomi-
nation nyhow.
There appears to be q great deal Of uncer-
tainty about the Illinois delegation. Mr..
Cullom insists that most of them are for Harri-
son, while two or three Of the prominent dele
gates declared that twenty-four are for Blaine.
There is a possibility that the fight over the
temporary craftsmanship may be avoided. %
it is now understood that the anti-Harrison
men have decided not to press Langston and to
organize and admit contcsting delegates before
test Of strength is made. They will make the
fight for the permanent chairman
Ex-Congressinan Jos. G. Cannon Of Illinois
arrived this afternoon. In regard to the
rumor that sixteen of the Illinois delegates
would desert Harrison for Blaine on the first
ballot, he said: mime out of ten Of the repub-
lican voters Of Illinois are for Harri.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
MINSEAPoLIs, June Am important line of
information comes from C. E. Baxter secretary
OF the Michigan republican league, who arrived
in Minneapolis this morning. Mr.. Baxter had
the good luck to get on the train which brought
ex-senator. Platt, the leading Blaine man.
ager, to town this morning Mr.. Plat
invited Mr.. Baxter into his private
car and all last evening Mr.
Platt talked in the freest way as to his own plan
and the plans of Blaine. Early in the evening
Mr.. Plat learned that the West Virginia deleea-
ton was on the train and be at once invited
them into his private car When they arrived
Platt threw off all reserve and talked to them
like Dutch uncle
He has been very cautious heretofore in ex-
pressing bis reason for opposing Harrison, but
now that he was after delegates he did not hest
tate to say why he opposed the President. He
asserted with positiveness that Mr.. Harrison
had broken faith with him and had shown him
self not to be man Of his word.
Would you expect me to support Mr.. Har-
rison?" asked Plat Of the West virginian.
his cabinet and then refused to keep that prom
Use! Could you expect me to have any respect
for such man? / think not You will under
stand, therefore, that if Mr.. Harrison were
nominated could not support him."
Mr.. Plat proceeded to explain Blaine's grea,
strength in New York and Harrison's grea,
weakness. "You may put it down as certain,
gentlemen" said Mr.. Platt "that Mr..
Blaine will get fifty votes from the New
York delegation on the first ballot I dc
not say this from any rough estimate OF
guess, but state it as q positive fact. which
now to be true. Blaine will not only have the
majority Of the New York but it may be tina,
the unit rule will be determined upon"
II NOT BLAINE, THEN SHERMAN.
When the delegation had retired Platt and
Baxter again resumed their personal chat, and
the Michigan man took occasion to sound Plat
on the question OF Mger.
','Suppose, Mr.. Platt," asked Baxter. s'that
both Harrison and Blaine are killed off or elm
mated from the contest, who will be the dark
horse around which the Blaine leaders will
rally2"
This was direct question which all the poll
ticians have been trying to get Platt to answer
for some time, but he has failed to talk Now,
however, he was ready to answer
SHERMAN Is the mar" said Plat.
The New York leader went on TO state the
various elements of strength which Sherman
possessed and made it clear that if circum-
stances arose which took Blaine off the track
or made his nomination impossible the
Blaine mantel with all its strength Of leadership
backed by GARRISON, Plat and Quay would be
turned over to John Sherman of Ohio

Of Seven.
MIN NEAPoLIs, June AT II o'clock this
morning promptly the national committee met
in their headquarters and went at once into
executive session. Orders were given
that no cards be sent in. The colored
messenger at the door proudly sported a
Blaine button. whereupon the report went
forth that the committee was against the
President. This report found many believers,
but the Harrison men continued to as
sert that they had majority with them.
At 12:45 Col. Swords, the sergeant-at-arms of
the committee announced that the committee
had decided to admit the Indian territory dele
gates to seats on the floor of the convention
without the right to vote.
1t was voted to refer all contests save that
from Alabama, to a special committee of seven,
the Alabama contest to go before special COM
mittee Of three. These subcommittee were APP
pointed and then the committee adjourned
until Monday morning, without completing the
temporary organization of the convention.

THE ONE-MILE LIMIT.
The Test Case Heard i'm the Police Court
This Morning.

The Test Case Heard i'm the Police Court
This Morning.
The case of Michael Sullivan, brought under
the liquor law for keeping an unlicensed bar
within the mile limit, as published in yester-
days STAR, was called in the Police Court this
morning and the defendant demanded Jury
trial and gave the required bond.
Lawyer Leon Tobriner appears for the de-
PENDANT and he is confident that the prosecu-
tion will fail to hold the defendant.
The liquor dealers are greatly interested in
the case, as it involves the sale Of large quanti-
ties Of liquor in o district where many saloons
have heretofore done q thriving business.
Under the recent decision in the Nau case
the District has to allege that the defendant
became liable for a license tax and failed to pay
the same. The mile-limit act prescribes that no
license can be issued for the sale OF liquor
within the limit prescribed. There is no
penalty provided under this act and il il thought
that counsel viii argue that the defendant
did not become liable for license tax because
such a tax is not provided for, and he having
rendered S100 he did not fail as the act charges.
The case viii be called for trial Wednesday.

This transfer Of the Shipper tract lends adj

2.0OO acres and for the possession Of which
there has been a regular scramble ever since
