A RINGING SPEECH.
COZ. TIEPKE'S REMARKS BEFORE
THE SWEDISH AMERICAN CLUE.
Tho Duties OF Citizenship Pointed Out
J. and tho Principles Of the Republican
Party Expounded.

The Swedish-American club held n
very pleasant reunion at Rhodes on-the
Pawtuxct Saturday. Speeches were
made by Charles Bergland. Joseph
Sundi, Henry T.. Tiepkc and others.
There was also series OF games, includ-
ing running and boat races. for which
suitable prizes were given; one
OF the most amusing features OF the
day was pie-eating match. A concert
was given BY the Scandinavian baud OF
Pontiac and IN the evening it furnished
music for dancing. The party was re-
gated with one of Rhodes best efforts in
the way OF dinner.
This club was formed about a year
ago with about dozen men bers and to-
day the membership Is about 800 Dur
number OF citizens naturalized and pro-
poses to keep up its efforts ia this di-
rection.
Brave Men and True
In the course OF his remarks President
Tiepke OF the Republican league of
Rhode Island called attention To the
recent arrival in the waters
OF the state OF Viking ship
manned 10y Norwegian sailors, and
then went on 10 say that the people
OF Scandinavia were shown by history
TO be as brave as the Romans and as
poetic as the Greeks. They were brave
in war and grand In peace. BY many
striking illustrations he emphasized the
love of the Swedes for human rights
and human liberty aud called a,ten'
ton to the many illustrious meu
which the country has given to the world.
Sweden's love for America was also
touched upon in fitting phrase, and the
governmental system explained.
La concluding his remarks Mr.. Tiepke
SAID: u aul glad TO meet you here as
Americans, because the ballot and that
which it involves is perfectly safe in
tn. hands OF intelligent men. You are
part of Americas citizenship aud the in
terests OF this land Will be safe In your
hands. STUDY carefully our Institutions
aud the theory of this government. You
are educated men and have allied
iitical organization the world
has ever known. lam glad To meet you
rs Republicans because the Republican
party is undeniably national or
American party. 1t is ma
Lional in that il advocates
governmental policies intended To pro
mote aud conserve the best interests OF air
people in this country. 1t is an Ameri-
can party in that 1t believes in deter
mining the great questions OF government
affecting the Interests of the American
peope from purely American stand
polbt, ana entlreIy free from European
considerations; in other words 1t patrioti-
cally insists upon the protection
or the riEhts. interests, aud prosperity
OF America, first, last and ali the time.
THIS government Is - government of ths
people; tiny are the sovereigns, and
therefore necessarily the people in whom
is vested by the constitution OF the coun
try the exercise and e j ,ymsnt of certain
rights and privileges and are entitled TO
full and complete protection under the
law in the exercise of every constit utional
right.

Municipal Banking.

City Treasurer Granger is absent from
the city and will not return for n week.
SO no opinion could be obtained
FROM him relative to the
method OF raising money for
municipal expenses employed by Mayor
Sargent OF New Haven. City Auditor
Nisbet was in his Office as usual aud said
he had rcid about the New Haven scheme
but was not familiar nough with it 10
discuss its merits.
Lookiag at the matter generally he saw
no objections to the Gil y borrowing money
in small amounts from its citizens IL it
saw fiJ 10 do so. The only trouble
would be that the sum realized would
hardly be sufficient In amount to
materially help u municipality Accord
ing to reports the New II ,ven mayor
raised $4,000 or over. but unlsss that 10
kept mp from day to dav the result
ing good to the city will not be very great.
If. however, the people came In with their
money as literally as they did on the
first day New Haven will be in fair way
TO get the money needed for immediate
use and at n reasonable rate of interest.
So far as tho city OF Providence is con-
cerned MIR. Nisbet said it was In good
shape and will not have to go into the
market to borrow. That matter was
taken care Of last spring.

Larger Movement Toward the
Market Expected During
the Next Fortnight.
Wheat Hammered by the
Bears, the Result Being
a Loss of 3-8c.
Provisions Dull and Steady
With a Slight Advance
to Close.
Wall Street Traders Take the
Bear Side and Hammer
Stocks.

CHICAGO, May 2O.-The weakness of
corn was the feature OF trading today.
The July future closed with loss for
the day of 1c. Wheat was hammered
by the bears, who worked all the harder
to knock it out on account of little ad-
vance at the opening. 1t closed 15c
lower than the day before. Partridge
and the Cudahy interest were both
against the price. The former on gen.
eral principles, and the latter, it was
thought. with a view to having the
wheat put to them on about 100000
bu of those privileges sold by them
yesterday afternoon. Provisions were
dull and about steady.
Wheat at the opening was about 4c
higher than yesterdays closing, then,
after slight changes, became weak and
prices declined 1c, ruled quiet, and the
closing was about s9c lower than yester-
day. Rumors of frost in France, and
rather unfayorable crop reports from
parts of Russia. together with larger
clearances from both coasts than have
been noticed for some time, created
feeling of strength, but the weather
was warm and more favorable for the
growing crops inthis country, and there
seemed to be quite little disposition to
realize at the advanced prices.
Receivers of corn. as we'll as railroad
officials, were talking larger arrivals
during the coming two weeks, now that
farmers are well along with their plant
ing. The conditions over the corn belt
were about perfect. the weather being
mild and pleasant. The country was
said to have sold freely. and houses
with Southwestern connections also dis
posed of good sized lots. Some short
lines were covered on the decline, the
market halting 10: while, the decline
being checked by buying against priv
Ell ges, but the offerings increased and
still lower prices followed. There was
good buying of September against sales
of July, the difference being about 40
1c. The market opened at 7s@1Ic de-
cline, and closed at inside figures.
Considering the decline In both wheat
and corn. prices for oats held very well.
Values receded I@3sc. Opening prices
were the highest and closing about the
lowest.
In provisions changes were slight and
there was no significant or demonstrative
trading. The closing quotations show
an advance of barely sc in pork, de-
line of from sc to ~ in lard, and no
change whatever in ribs.
Lake rates held steady at 11Sc for
wheat and 14c for corn to Buffalo. Es-
timated receipts for Monday: Wheat,
$50 cars; corn, 800 cars; oats, 290 cars;
hogs, $4,000.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

DELAWAREs CAPITOL.
The CommonWeaIth's Little Brick
State House and the Tiny Leg.
fcVo

The CommonWealth's Little Brick
State House and the Tiny Leg
islature.
New York Sun.
The Deleware legislature. which has
just reelected United States Senator
Gray, is one of the smallest legislative
bodies on earth, and all it's belongings
are on a Lilliputian scale. The nine
senators sit in a small room nearly filled
with desks, and having space Oh old
fashioned SetteeS for score or two of
spectators. The twenty-One represen-
tativeS occupy a similar and longer
room, provided with an amusing little
gallery for spectators.
The public and the legislators are
close together, and anything uttered in
an ordinary conversational tone can be
heard all over even the larger chamber.
A loud speaker in one house may be
heard in the other.
This curious little body works like
any other legislature. The nine sena-
tors are divided up into many commit
tees, and the name of each figures a
great many times on committee lists.
Only two of the senators are Repub-
licanS. These two, with United States
Senator Higgins, remain as reminders
OF savage contest in the Democratic
party of Delaware.
The state house looks like a small
public school building. 1t is of brick,
two stories and half high and sur
mounted by cupola. 1t looks out on
the village green. Hard by is the county
Jail, with its whipping post and pillory
In fall view from the windows of the
state house. No official residence is
provided for the governor. and he lives
wherever his home may have happened
to be when he was elected, coming to
Dover only when business requires his
presence. He has an Office in the little
state house, as have the secretary of
state, the state auditor and the state
treasurer. The state library, which is
crowded into the same building, con-
tains a Latin Bible dated 1851. Upon
this book the state officers have been
sworn since Delaware set up housekeep.
ing for herself, and perhaps longer.
The legislature has little or no pat
ronage. 1t appoints two or three clerks,
doorkeepers, messengers and pages and
elects the state treasurer and the state
auditor, the former with a salary of
81, 400 year, the latter with salary of
$1,000 year. The governor appoints
most of the state and county officers,
the judges for life. The present gov
ernor distributed this patronage with a
view to making himself a SENATOR but
his unpopularity made his candidacy an
lmpOSSibllity.

1t was the same old story in the wheat
futures market. no demand, to amount
to anything, except from shorts aud that
was not large enough 70 sustain prices.
Bad crop reports were received from
the Southwest and last weeks exports
we're very large. Were it not for the
big stocks in sight. that are constantly
looming up. tight money, and generally
favorable weather for the growing
crops, prices would probably have
these facts tended to keep buyers from
investing. The market was dull. There
were only a few cables received, owing
to holidays abroad. They quoted mar
kets steady, but no demand. Wheat

MADE A NEW RECORD.
An Exciting Bicycle Race at st.
Louis.

ST. LOUIS, May 2o.-Carroll Mulkey,
of the North st. Louis Cycling club,
won the third annual Forest Park
road race in the fair time Of 1:04:10,
followed by Gus Doegul, of the
Cycling club, IN 1:02:2O, while Fl. w.
Upmeyer was third in 1:00:57. The
day was a scorcher and the course in
horrible condition. but even tnis did
not prevent last years record of 100: 40,
made by Bert Harding, from being
broken. The first time prize was
captured by Billy Laing, who made the
new record of 1:OO:20; II. @. Jordan
wins second time prize i'll 1:00:37; Ii.
W. Upmeyer third, in l:00:57. A crowd
of 5000 people were in Kings high
way and LindelI avenue to see the
race. One of the features of the race
was the finish between Harding and
Munger, the former winning by one
quarter of a wheel. When within ten
feet of the finish. Munger was leading,
but Harding put on a tremendous
squirt and won. The hills on the course
proved too much for tho Chicago delega-
tion, and only Munger, who was thr-
teenth, finished anywhere near the
front. Munger and Harding's time
was 1:02:10; W. j. Cox, 1:O4:50.

steamships are now on their way across
the ocean, bound for this port, and much
interest is felt in the result of their
efforts to win fresh laurels. Their
arrival is looked forward to
by steamship men with considerable
interest, for it is expected that some
thing remarkable in the way of Atlantic
voyages will be done. Each vessel
has distinguished herself by making
records. The vessels are the new big

WRECKED A SALOON.
Daring Work of a Dynamiter at
Ishpeming, Mich.

ISnpemlnS, Mich.
IsHPEMlNG. Mich, May 2O.-Mayor
Osburn issued orders six weeks ago for
the strict enforcement of the liquor
law. Several saloonkeepers of this
city were arrested on complaint
for keeping open after hours.
The trials just concluded at Marquette,
and Judge Stone dismissed the cases,
the evidence being insufficient to
convict. The law and order league
has petitioned the council to enforce
Sunday and liquor laws to the letter
and some bad blood had been stirred
up. This morning at clock deafen-
ing explosion awakened people sleeping
in the center of the business district.
At ITO South Main street, the
glass front of John Connor's saloon
lay upon the sidewalk. The saloon is a
total wreck. Connors, who was one of
the parties arrested and discharged for
the violation of the law, has no
suspicion of the identity of the per-
son who threw or placed the bomb.
Dynamite was evidently used, as no
other agent would work such terrible
destruction. Although the saloon was
in the heart of the city and in sight of
half dozen policemen, as we'll as under
electric lights, the bomb-thrower en-
tirely escaped detection. The explosion
causes much feeling here.

Condition of Business at tiae
EuroDean CentePS,


LONDON, May 21.-Discount was rath-
er easier during the week at ~ for
three months and 81 for short bills.
The opinion is general that the acute
stage of the financial crisis has passed.
Small amounts of gold are arriving
from France and Holland, and supplies
from the United States are no longer
snapped up for Austria. The steady
drain to Vienna greatly increased the
gravity OF the crisis in Great Britain.
Silver, as in the case of other values,
reacted early in the week, owing to the
Australian troubles, but atterWard be-
came steady. The stock exchange has
undergone a tremendous clearing out,
all sorts of weak accounts being elimiS
mated, and no fears are entertained re-
gardlng the outcome of the next settle
ment.
Nevertheless, many minor troubles,
depending upon theAusrralian troubles,
are predicted. COnsols show no change
since the last weekly report. Foreign
securities, excepting Greek. French and
Italian, make more favorable SHOW
