GEN. ALGER'S PLATFORM.

Protection and Reciprocity the Only Hope
of the Republican Party-He Calls for a
United Effort This Year-A Glowing
Tribute to Grant.
General Russell A. Alger, of Michigan,
was warmly received when he took the
floor. He had been assigned no particular
subject, but each of his patriotic utterances
and clever definitions of party policies were
loudly applauded He spoke first of the
beauty of commemorating the dav. and then
paid a tribute to the work of Pittsburg' s
Sanitary Corps during the war. Turning
from that he spoke of General Grant and
then said:
To General Grant perhaps more than to
any other one man we owe the supremacy
of this glorious national ensign to-day-the
flag that has never been unfurled in the fac
upon his ramparts; the flag that is respected
by the world and Is ample protection to
every citizen. no matter how humble or in
what part of the world he may be.
Gentlemen, we are upon the eve of an.
other great battIe-not where men are to be
marshalled with muskets, sabers and cannon
upon the foe, but of almost equal import
ance. This mighty nation has grown to the
proud position it occupies to-day, fostered
by the laws enacted by the Republican
party, and the Republican party alone.
The General then declared that all the
laws that had made America great had been
passed by the Republican party and op-
posed by the Democratic party, and argued
that the only way to continue prosperity
was to continue the Republican party in
power. He then spoke of the keystone
State as the head of the arch of Republi-
ism and then said:
What is protection? 1t commences with
the home-fr covers the nation. 1t is the
ones own. That is the duty of the hour and
the mission of the Republican party. am
not one of those who believe in secrecy i'll
politics. This country is nothing more or
less than great business concern in which
every voter is a stockholder. We should
keep men in power who will represent all
dustriaI institutions that every man who
his own labor TO own his home. and thus
have an interest in our general prosperity.
Gentlemen, let us begin to form our lines
for the coming contest. Let Protection and
Reciprocity"-the twin sisters, each equally
battle line is formed on election day, let every
man be found in his place fighting for the
interests of our common country, our whole
country and our country alone.
Let us reap the full benefit of our own
prosperity, and continue to say to the
nations that md a market here for what We
do not produce, "Open your markets free to
the products of our country" That is reci-

THE BUSINESS WORLD.
Jay Gould a Long Ways From Being
Turned Down Yesterday in
THE UNION PACIFIC'S ELECTION.
What the Monthly Report of the Pennsyl-
vania Company Shows
FIRES, FAILURES AND RAILWAY NEWS

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.l
BOSTON, April 27.-The result of the
Union Pacific election to-day is that Jay
Gould and his party are retained in the
directory. This is victory also for the
Missouri Pacific, which the opposition peo.
pie looked upon as a competing system.
The following are the directors elected in
the order of the size of their vote:
Edwin F. Arkins, Boston; Samuel Carr,
Boston; Henry II. Cook, New York: T. Cor
don Dexter, Boston; Sidney Dillon, New
York; G. NJ. Dodge, Council Bluffs; Marvin
Hughitt, Chicago; Henry B. Hyde. New
York; Joseph A. Hillard, Omaha; Alexander
E. Orr, New York; James Sharp, Salt Lake
City; Gardiner M. Lane. Boston: Jay Gould,
New York: Russell Sage, New York.
The board ticket was on blue paper, the
Boissevain, or foreign ticket, on white
paper In the list of directors represented
on the foreign ticket, the names of Gould,
Sage and Clark do not appear, Sims Boisse-
vain having been committed to the share
holders whose proxies he held, to vote for a
Board of Directors who would represent the
Union Pacific shareholders and would have
no interest in the Missouri Pacific.
S. II. II. Clark of Omaha, General Manager
directors ticket, but was defeated by Gar
diner NJ. Lane from the opposition ticket
He will probably be placed on the board by.
the other directors. and may possibly be
elected President. The two other directors
besides Mr.. Lane on the opposition ticket
were Charles C. jackson, OF Boston, and
Marcus A. Hanna, of Cleveland. The foreign
ticket appears to have been defeated bv
10000 votes as this is the amount Russell
SAGE received over Charles C. jackson.
The election was decided in favor of Mr..
Gould by the proxy of Messrs. Bnrthwick.
Wark & Co, of London, for about 26ooo
shares. This house had given its proxy at
first to Mr.. Boissevain, but later gave
proxy to Messrs. 1. & s. Wormser,r their
New York correspondents, which, it is said,
they requested should not be used in favor
of Mr.. Gould. Messrs. Wormser, however,
turning the election and retaining Missouri
Pacific officials in the management OF the
Union Pacific.
1t was voted to approve the investments
the acts of the directors; also the Drexel-
Morgan linden ture of last year. under which
the three-vear6 per cent notes were placed,
and the Kansas Pacific trust indentures
S, ,O0o, 900 bonds of which went in under the
same.
Equitable building for organization. Samuel
Carr resigned director, and s. II. H.
Clark, of Omaha, Was chosen to fill the
vacancy. Sidney Dillon declined re-elec-
tion to the Presidency, and Mr.. Clark was
elected in his place, Mr.. Dillon being
elected Chairman of the board, position
created for him. Edwin F. Atkins was made
vice President to succeed Mr.. Clark, and the
latter was made member of the Executive
Committee in place of Russell Sage. Con-
Harris and all the other officers were re-
elected.

ANEW HALL OF PHILOSOPHY
The Cornerstone of Which Is Laid by Car.

The Cornerstone of Which Is Laid by Car
dinaI Gibbons.
WASHINGTON, April 27.-[Specia. 1-Ap-
propriate exercises incident to the laying of
the cornerstone of the Mcmahon Hall of
Philosophy took place this afternoon
on the grounds of the Catholic
University. Cardinal Gibbons and
Hon. Charles j. Bonaparte delivered ap-
propriate addresses. The Cardinal said that
the faculty of Philosophy, to accommodate
which the new structure was begun, had
for its object the profound study of all
that concerns man and his multiform
relations with all below him,
around him, and about him, as seen in the
light of natural reason. The bishops of the
United States were proud to establish an
institution like this in our national capital,
under the eyes of our whole country and in
most cordial relations with all her national
institutions of learning and social improve
ment
The Cardinal then blessed the stone and
the ceremonies ended. The building is $50
feet long, 100 feet in the center, the wings
being 20 ieet deep. 1t will be surmounted
by a statue of Christ, "The Light of the
World" 1t will not be opened until the
fall of 1894.

as well as with all the roads in the combine.
For long time they have been shipping
considerable coal to the West, and especially Y
to Chicago and Milwaukee, where the firm
owns large t1,cks. This coal has been and is
still being shipped over the Pennsylvania
lines.
The annual report OF the Union Pacific
Railway Company shows for the year 1891

in 1880. The surplus earnings were 81, ,S46 45l,

crease of s2S,69s over last year.
1T transptres that the Worlds Fair man
agement had quite as much to do in bring
ing about the present movement in Chicago
against the ticket scalpers as did the rail-
roads. The officials of the Exposition were
given to understand that the existence of
scalpers in Chicago was SO demoralizing
that the roads would not dare to make as
low rates for the Fair as they otherwise
might

CLOSED BY A RUN.
The Commercial Bank at St Paul Shuts
Down, Though in Fair Shape.

The Commercial Bank at St Paul Shuts
Down, Though in Fair Shape.
ST. PAUL, April 27.-The Commercial Bank
closed its doors at noon to-day, and q card
was placed on the window announcing that
the business is temporarily suspended, but
that all depositors will be paid in full.
This action was taken after O heavy
run continuing during the entire
forenoon. Mr. Middleton, one of the
directors, was seen and asked for a
statement. "All that can be said at present" :"
he replied, 'is that the depositors will be
paid in full and the stockholders will have
to stand the loss. The trouble was caused
by the scare resulting from the failure of the
St. Paul German Insurance Company. The
bank itself is all right and is backed by good,
responsible men. 1t is doubtful if the bank
will resume business again.
As soon as the failure of the insurance
company became generally known, the
country banks began to withdraw their
FUNDS from the Commercial Bank. This
started ugly rumors regarding the solvency
of the latter institution, for which there was
really no foundation, but which spread with
a lapidity such as no rumor of less injurious
character could be circulated. The di-
rectors tonight stated that the assets of the
bank was Sl.559,sI5 % and the liabilities
