REMARKABLE DEADLOCK BROKEN.

BallOt-"Trcason'' in the Camp.
WiSTERsET, Ia, Sept 2S.-The dead
lock IN the Republican senatorial conven-
ton was unexpectedly broken just as the
convention was about ready to adjourn
sine die without naming candidate On
the 3,026th ballot Kilburn received IL votes
and Price TO- The vote was received with
yelis of delight from the Adair delegates,
while cries of traitor came from all
parts of the room. Teller Smith, one Of
the Madison delegates, pocketed the bal
lots, which We're written, and in spite of
the order of the chairman to deliver them
to the secretary, kept them.
hilbIEn in a short speech accepted the
nomination, but when il was moved TO
make it unanimous the Madison county
delegates refused. Several Of them left
the room when he was. making his speech
of acceptance After the convention ad-
tourned Price called his delegates into the
jury room and demanded TO know who
the traitor was. All declared that they
had voted for him. The county clerk was
called in and an affidavit was drawn up
and sworn to by the whole eleven dele
gates, declaring that they had voted for
Price or the ballot that kilburn was
nominated.
Smith then drew from his pocket the
ballots, threw them on the table and de-
manded that each delegate select his own.
Two men claimed one ballot. The dele
gates agreed to keep the name of the
traitor secret, but they will not deny that
the man who betrayed Price is a promi-
nent farmer. Prices friends are very in
dignant and a split in the party is threat

BUSINESS FEATURES OF TIE WEEK.
Money In Increased Demand and Impor-
TINT Products Rising in Price.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2S -Bradstreet's says:
The striking features of the week are in
creased demand for money east and west,
the maintenance of the widespread and
active demand for iron and steel, and the
further upward movement of the price of
raw cotton, together with advances of
quotations for wheat, flour and wool.
Sudden changes in the weather affecting
n wide cxpansc of territory have made gen
eral trade irregular. but reports from those
sections unfavorably affected are in part
offset by the stimulation of demand for
certain staples in other portions of the
country.
The advance in the price of wheat on re-
ported damage to the crop in Argentina
may or may not be the beginning of an
upward movement, but accepted statis-
tics concerning supplies of wheat in this
country-if not discrcditcd in the near
futurc-may compel wheat prices to fol-
low in the footsteps of those for iron.
TrlrSrams to Bradstrccts from widely diff
fCrrnt points seem to indicate n very gen
cral intention on the part of grain pro-
ducers to hold their wheat for higher
prices. This refers to spring wheat terri
tory tributary TO Minneapolis and to the
wheat country in Oregon

Minister Andrade-A Concession to Amer
leans That May Precipitate Matters.

A<ehS AA@ae may AttiptatatS
WASHINGTON, Sept 2S-There is no ad-
vance nor change in the status of the Ven
ezuelan question, so far as can be learned
from all available official sources in Wash
ington, including the Venezuelan minis
ter. Notwithstanding this fact there has
been much speculation on the subject
within the last few days, some of it being
of decidedly warlike tendency, indicat-
ing determination on the part of the ad-
ninistration to adopt vigorous steps in
asserting the Monroe doctrine as appli-
cable te Venezuela. At the state depart
ment there is complete rcticence on the
subject, not, so far as can be learned, be-
cause there is need of withholding any
thing for reasons of expediency, but be-
cause there has been a halt in the negotia-
tions since last spring.
Andrade Has Nothing New.
Scnor Andradc, the Venezuelan minis
ter, was asked last night concerning the
reports. Il have no information what
ever of any change or development" said
he. "If there is any new phase it has not
been communicated to me. My calls at
the state department have been for the
purpose of presenting my respects to the
secretary, and there has been no mention
of the boundary question, Gs there were
no new phases open to consideration.
Senor Andradc added that he had noted
the widespread comment of late Is to the
Venezuelan question, including the vigor-
Gus speeches of General Iongstrect 1T
Chickamauga, and Governor Campbell, of
Ohio. The minister looks on this "a "a
general awakening of American interest
In the subject, rather than as an indica-
ton of a change in the status of affairs.
Where Uncle sam VIII Coric In.
Since Lord Kimbcrlcy's answer TO Bay
ard setting forth England's position an
American syndicate has secured large cen
c,ssions from Venezuela of land III the
disputed territory. 1t is along the south
bank of the Orinoco so situated that if
the American claimants enforce their CON
ccssion and have the support of the Unit
cd States government q direct issue with
Great Britain is inevitable. Congress
man Livingston, of Georgia. who is
familiar with the affairs of the American
company, says that men will be sent to take
possession OF the territory. He has expected
that this would lead to n coIrlict, in
which case the company would appeal to
the United States for protection of its
rights. AS yet, however, there has been nc
conflict and no appeal for governmental
support, and so far as can be learned il is
premature to state what this government
would do should this American company
bring about an issue.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-Dr. Wray, the
representative in London of the United
States department of agriculture, reports
that the admission of cattle from the
United States may be considerably affect
cd by the question now up as to removing
all restrictions on the admission of South
American cattle He says it is the opin-
ion of well-inforincd persons that if the
South American governments demand
unrestricted admission the British depart
mcnt of agriculture will be compelled to
sanction "A bill requiring all foreign cat
tie to be landed and slaughtered at the for
cign cattle markets of England, whether
those countries have any disease among
their cattle or not. DR.. Wray thinks tha.
strong pressure is being brought to bear
in favor of such bill.
He adds that up to the present time no
contagious disease has been discovered
among South American cattle, SO that
without such Il bill the British govern
ment could hardly refuse to let the South
American cattle come in free of restric.
tions if the privilege Were asked. DR.. Wray
also makes report on the project to ship
live stock from Australia to England.
which, if successful, would add to the
competition against American cattle. A
