GRESHAM FOR SENATOR.
Illinois Populists VIII, 1t Is Said
Mako Him Their Candidate.
CBy Associated Press.

By Associated Press)
CHICAGO, June 15.-The InterOcean
this morning publishes the following
Secretary of State Walter Q. Gresham
is said to be candidate of the Illinois
Populists for United States Senator to
succeed Senator Cullom."
This news reached Chicago the same
day the Secretary arrived here. The
coincidence Is striking, but what Is
still more striking is the fact that the
scheme in regard to Judge Gresham
comes from no less a Populist leader
than II. Il. Taubeneck. who is Chairman
of the National Executive Committee
of the Populist party.
Chairman Taubeneck Is convinced that
this year large numbers of Democrats
will vote the Populist ticket. and esti-
mates that the Populist vote in Illinois
will not fall short OF 600O0 and may go
beyond 100000. He is figuring that from
one to five or six members of the Leg
islature may be elected in November.
These members, he says. will hold the
balance of power between the Republi-
cans and Democrats in the Legislature.
Neither Republicans nor Democrats
would then elect a United States Sena-
tor, and Judge Gresham will be entirely
satisfactory to the Populists. Secretary
Gresham has had information as to the
movement, but declines to discuss pol
tiles.

NEWMAN's BIC DOCK DEAL.
Nova Scotia Goal Company Be-
ieved to Be Interested
Fuel to BE Imported from Canadian
Mines Via Boston.

A Boston despatch in this morning. 8
extensive dock rights in that city
provoked a great deal Of comment In
financial circles here to-day.
The syndicate making the purchase
is commonly believed to be the Nova
Scotia Coal Company. In which ex-
Secretary w. C. Whitney. Banker
James Stillman and other financiers. of
this city are associated.
The agent of the syndicate. which IL
sald to represent $3.50. .OOO. 900 of American
and British capital. Is William G. New
man. q financial operator. of this city.
He went to Boston a few days ago, and
yesterday bought for t2.2 $1,000 about 3OC
one-half miles, In Everett. q shipping
quarter of Boston.
Mr.: Newman made no statement Of
the purpose OF the purchase but 49,
Nova Nov Scotia Coal Company and that
Boston will be made a point Of delivery
1t is calculated that the Company can
bring coal here and sell It at interior
points at prices less than the Pennsyl-
Vania product
II is thought that the syndicate can
control the entire northern section of
the United States and all OF Canada
and employ the Boston and Maine and
Canadian Pacific Railways as its main
avenues OF distribution.
In addition to that 1t Is believed that
the projectors mean to make Boston
large port OF export for grain and pro-
visions bound for Europe, and hopes OF
n first-class passenger line docking at
that point are mentioned.
There Is no doubt that a commercial
scheme of wide dimensions Is centred
in this purchase.
Ex-Secretary Whitney is In Europe
and Banker StiIiman and others refused
to discuss the subject.
