Proposed Political Fusion

CHICAGO, Nov. 1S.-Another move
Tent is on foot to unite the Prohi-
bition and the Peoples party.
Today a committee representing
both organizations il Chicago called
upon Senator PETER at the Grand Pa
citic hotel to ascertain his views upon
the subject. The committee was
composed of the following gentlemen:
DIR. II. S. Taylor, chairman OF the
Cook county Prohibition club; ID. W.
Fulwiler. presidential electOr on the
Peoples ticket; c. ii. Perigo, Eben-
ezer Wakeley and Frank Newback.
DR.. Taylor presented the subject to
the Senator. The attempt, he said,
to uuite the two parties which had
failed a short time ago, had failed be-
cause the southern element of the
Peoples party objected to anything
whatever in the way Of Prohibition
but the recent election had demon
strated that the Peoples party had
very little strength in the south and
that it was strongest in those local.
ities which were Prohibition strong
holds. Hence the two parties might
as well unite their forces.
The outcome of the conference was
the authorizing of DIR. Taylor to issue
circular to ascertain the feelings OF
the two parties concerning the call
ing of a convention during the worlds
fair, with the ultimate object of un-
ion. 1t is probable that there will be
a local fusion effected for the purpose
of putting a ticket in the field for
the mayOralty contest in the spring.

SPECULATIVE DRIFT.
Bradstreet Reports Tradins
Narrow and Professional.

New YORK, March 11.-Bradstreet's weekly
review: The market this week has been
lacking in those exciting episodes which dis
tinguished the previous one. The specula-
ton has been narrow and professional to a
degree. while foreign participation was of
the highest possible character. AT the same
time it must be noticed that the absence of
further heavy selling from European sources
is regarded as favorable sign, while there
is also reason 10 believe that the ease with
which this market has absorbed the stocks
which London sold after the beginning of
the year is producing beneficial change of
sentiment abroad in regard to American Sc
curities.
This may bear fruit HEREAFTER. and for the
time being the exchange market was too mar
row and unsteady to permit of operations
involving the transfer of gold to Europe.
This gave encouragement to the bulls, and,
though bearish demonstrations were not alb
sent, the market as a whole exhibited sur
prising firmness, in view of the extraordinary
fluctuations and manipulations to which il
had been treated. Rumors of deals and COM
binations were spoken of, but did not find
the favor which attended them in the preced-
Ing week.
The chief factor in the proceedings was.

TOPEKA, Kan. March 1.-THE action
of the Kansas Democratic state central
committee in deciding to put no state or
electoral tickets in the field in the CON-
ing campaign, and to work for and vote
with the Peoples party in consideration
that certain congressional candidates,
to whom the Peoples party agree, shall
all be Democrats, has aroused the Re-
publican leaders throughout the state.
1t is now understood that in a few days
a committee of prominent Kansas Re-
publicans will go before the Republican
national committee and present re-
quest for a retaliatory campaign in the
South if the Democracy continues i'll
the policy outlined.
&. The national committee will be re-
quested to organize the party in Georgia,
North and South Carolina and the Vir-
ginias for united action with the Alli-
ance, and in this way Offset at least the
action of the Kansas Democracy in try
ing to turn enough states into the Peo-

Wheat was weak. due, as it was thought TO
the Washington report Of wheat in invisible
supply, which was figured ut III ,00000 bu.
That was above the amount generally thought
to be yet TO come forward. By adding the
visible of Al 900, 600 bu there would be total
of 242 coo, 600 bu, which is about third of the
production. AT the same date last year the
March report showed liz. .0J0, 900 bu in the in
supply, making total supply then of
135,0OO,OO0 bu, or near third of that
production. AS the season is about
third gone. it appears the proportion
is pretty well maintained this year, as 1t was
last year. Paris cables were higher, but Ant

At the beginning OF the week the prospects

"A Guardian Is Appointed for An
drew MackeV


In the probate court yesterday Emil
Frederick, of Alton, was appointed a
guardian of Andrew Mackey. one Of
the oldest living residents of this state.
Mackey was born in County Kilkenny.
Ireland, ninety-seven years ago, and
came to the st. Croix valley in 1887 with
Orange Walker, formerly resident of
Marine. Mackey was employed IN the
Marine Lumber comDany's mill for
year or more and then located OH farm
about twenty-five miles down the st.
CroiX from Marine, which now conSt-
tutes a part of the site of the
village of Alton. Here he resided
many years, and then removed to this
city, where he has resided with friends
ever since. A few years ago he lost all
track of his age. and his friends Oh
tanned the desired information from the
baptiSmal record kept in church at his
birthplace in Ireland. He was one OF
the first white residents of the st. CrolX
valley, and during his long residence
here has accumulated considerable
money, which is deposited in one OF the
banks in this city. Mackey has always
enjoyed good health, and was perfectly
capable of taking care of his own affairs
until month or two ago, when his men
tai faculties began to fail. and his
friends decided that his property should
be placed in the hands of guardian.
