New York, April 17.--There was a falling
off in the transactions at the stock exchange
today the total sales Of stocks having
amounted to $50 425 shares against 22O0OO
shares yeSte rday. Opening figures, as rule,
were lower professional operators having
sold the list on the belief that considerable
gold will have to be exported shortly, not
withslanding the condition Of foreign trade,
which shows heavy balance in our favor.
The railway trout les at the west were also
used by the traders, but they did not
have much effect. 1t was cur
rently reported that the employees
of the Missouri Pacific would STRIKE ana mat
the men on the Northwestern roads would go
out in order to as 5ist their confreres employed
by the Great Nor, hern road. The impression
made on prices was insignificant, however,
and when the bulls in Chi ago Gas took hold
of their favolite and marked it up to 665, the
shorts in the general list began to curtall

THE SILVER CONVENTION.

The Two Old Parties Sa a to BE RespOn-
sible for the Condition of the Country.
Dies MONIES Ia, March 23-The ma
tional silver convention closed last
evening. At the morning session brief
speeches were made on the question:
"What is the proper remedy, and how
may it be applied?" President John
son, Bimetallic League of Kansas, was
the first speaker
1.-THE silver age is upon us. England
holds the key to all values in gold
The repeal of the Sherman act was the
death of silver in this country. A gold
bullion value depreciates values de-
pending upon free coinage. The end
of the fight may be the dethroning of
gold.
''The international conspiracy seems
to have been at work to reduce silver
far below its true value. Any change
in the relative values of silver and gold
is treason on the part of congress of
the United States. The conspiracy of
capital has given us the mortgages of
to-day, amounting to $500, 600. 600,
payable only in gold"
1gnatius Donnelly, of Minnesota,
made brief address, in which he said:
s.The demonstration of silver was a
colossal conspiracy and crime, the
greatest ever perpetrated against the
human family. 1t is demoniac." He
urged all to proceed on constitutional
lines. The two old parties were re-
sponsible for the fearful condition of
the country. He warned the people
not to trust all who cry free silver. p"

Resolutions Adopted by the Convention In
Session at Omaha
OMAHA, Neb., March 23-Nearly the
entire morning session of the inter-
state irrigation convention was spent
in executive session debating the series
of resolutions prepared by the execu-
tive committee. The principal fight
was made over the clause demanding
that congress make an appropriation
to test the practicability of irrigation
by means of artesian wells Gov.
Kounz of Nebraska, made brief adj
dress of welcome Charles a. Greg
DRY, of New York and Chicago, talked
on Irrigation and Continental Devel-
opment," and Ira C. Hubbell, of Kan
sas City, read a paper on Pumping
Machinery for Irrigation" The con-
vention took recess for the purpose of
visiting the South Omaha stock yards.
At the afternoon session the report
of the committee on resolutions, re-
ported at the morning session, was
adopted. After reciting the opening of
public lands to settlement, the platform
goes on:
Resolved, i nat III is the sense Oh TINS COnNeil-
ton that it is the duty of congress to make an
appropriation to test the practicability Of the
following methods of irrigation for these
plains:
First-That the government should by ex-
perments determine whether the underf1ow
water is of sufficient volume and can be brought
TO the surface ut cost 10 make it available for
general irrigation purposes.
Second-That it should determine the extent
to which reservoirs can be constructed for the
purpose of storing storm water sufficient in
quantity for irrigation purposes.
Resolved, That we fully indorse the follow
ing extract from the re,ort OF the special com
mittee of the United States senate and the
same be made part of the resolutions Of this
convention:
IF anything can be done 10 encourage the
people OF these great plains it is important
that it should be done speedily There are
over l,COl 900 people in the arid and semi-arid
belt who have paid into the United States
treasury no less than si0.U0)iOO0 for public
lands The government should demonstrate
to them the practicabilty before they can have
the courage or can command the means to

This bag is fastened in place by two

THE REVENUE.
Estimates on the Amount the New Tariff
Bill VIII Yield-Probabiy an Excess

Estimates on the Amount the New Tarin
Bill VIII Yieid-Probsbiy an Excess
WASHINGTON, March 32-The esti-
mates of the amount of revenue which
the tariff bill reported to the senate
Tuesday will probably yield show that
the total amount will be about $751;
600, 900. This is a reduction of between
$l3, 600, 600 and s14. 900, 900 from the esti-
mates in the first bill reported to the
committee. The principal reduction
is made in the internal revenue
part of the bill, through the
restoration of the present tax
rates on cigars and cigarettes, which
amounts to loss of over 100000 OO-
There will also be an appreciable fall
ing off of the duty on tin plate caused
by changing the duty on that importa-
ton from 1 lis cents to 1 cent per
pound. The change in the fruit sched-
ule, whereby bananas, pineapples and
cocoanuts are taken from the dutiable
list, will make up the other principal
items of loss. Bananas are imported
in large quantities, and the imposition
of a duty of cents per pound, as first
imposed by the committee, would have
produced a revenue of 81, O72, 236
The committee found, upon investi-
CATION, however, that the bill would
produce more revenue than would be
needed and as bananas are not pro-
duced in this country outside of a small
section on the Gulf of Mexico. it was
decided to restore them to the free list
AS the bill stands, if the estimate is
correct. it will produce at least $50. 0OO,-
900 more of revenue than will be
needed The change made in the
sugar schedule will not cause a show
ing in the estimates different from the
subcommittee bill, as the first esti-
mate was made upon sugar testing 30
deg. fine.
The estimate for the present bill will
probably be upon the same grade OF
sugar. There would. however be a
slight difference in actual returns, as
the maximum duty rate under the
present bill is 1.3S15 per pound as
against 40 on the subcommittee bill
The difference on this score would be
controlled entirely by the quantity OF
high grade sugar imported

1t Assemblies at Omaha and Is Welcomed
by the Mayor-Papers Read
OMAHA, Neb., March 22--Three hun
dred delegates. representing Nebraska,
Iowa, Kansas. Colorado, Wyoming,
Missouri and Montana, were present at
the opening session of the Interstate
irrigation congress here yesterday w.
n. Mason, of Omaha, called the con-
gress to order in a brief talk and intro
duced President Moses, who reviewed
the objects of the convention
After it had been decided to admit
all residents of the arid region to the
convention Mayor Bemis welcomed the
delegates to Omaha President Nose
then delivered an extended address on
irrigation. and Secretary Bristow, of
Kansas, urged the convention to de-
mand from congress thorough inyes-
tigation of the possibilities of the
semi-arid region when properly
watered.
At the afternoon session ex-senator
Warren, of Wyoming, delivered an adj
dress on the general subject of irriga-
ton He said it was too early in ex-
perience to name any particular method
to be pursued. The best results had
been obtained through the develop
ment of small farms until large ones
had been rendered profitab bic. Maj
Powell, of the United States geo
logical survey, talked of the storm
water storage plan He thought
that this was still in the expert
mental stage. In Utah and California.
where it had been tried, it had been
successful He did not think storm
water could be economically stored in
a main channel. 1t was better to have
it in lateral basins. Prof Hayes. OF
Kansas, made brief talk on the gen.
eral topic, and Donald Campbell, OF
Denver, explained the well water sys-
tenn of irrigation in vogue in India
Judge j. ID. Emery, national lecturer
of the association, addressed the asso-
citation on the duty of general govern
ment in the reclamation of the semi
arid plains. All the economic facts
should be gathered by the government
and the rest left to private capital.

THE HUNGARIAN STUDENTS.

They Were Deter ined That Proper ke-
spect should BE Paid to the Dead Pa
triot.
BUDA PEsrH, March 24-The stu
dents of Hungary, who have long been
admirers of Louis Kossuth, determined
yesterday that the people of this CITY
should show outwardly at least the
proper respect to the memory OF the
dead patriot. In accordance with that
determination, hundreds of them at
nightfall last night marched through
the streets breaking lamps and win
dows of houses where no mourning was
displayed, and also raided the theaters
and concert halls and drove the actors
from the stage and forced the audi
ences to leave. The police rallied in
force, and in the conflicts which fol-
lowed twenty-five men were wounded
When strong band of the students
entered the Royal opera house and Ma
tional theater, the attaches and the po-
lice guards attempted to prevent them
The students fought their way into the
bodies of the houses and stopped the
performances. They demanded that
banners be displayed, and upon being
met with refusals, themselves hoisted
mourning banners brought with them
over the boxes.
Persons began to gather in crowds
about the squares and other similar
places this afternoon and their number
was rapidly increased when the stu
dents put in an appearance in force
and began making addresses in which
they referred in fiery language to the
immense services which Kossuth had
rendered to the cause of liberty and
denounced in strong terms the
action of the government in al
lowing him to die in exile. They
were still futher incensed at the fact
that the authorities had permitted the
removal of the black flags placed in
side the theaters last night, they pre-
pared to make further attacks upon
the theaters, but the authorities had
been preparing for disturbances and
the students found the theaters, con-
cert halls and other places of amuse-
ment as well as the public buildings,
strongly guarded by police. In addi'
ton attachments of infantry and cav
airy were under arms at the barracks
and they were notified that the au-
thorities had determined to preserv e
the peace at any cost.
