Gus of the party, but he would not
yield to dictatiOn. He asserted his
ability to construe the platform, and
said he abided by his utterances, which
have been published, and had nothing
to retract or molify.
When he closed there was warm ap.
plause from the silver men present. All
of the candidates, with the exception
of Mr.. Tyler, candidate for lieutenant-
governor, agreed to stand by Mr.. Har.
din in his construction of the platform.
Mr.. Tyler announced his purpose of
continuing to speak for sound money,
no matter what the utterances OF the
head of the ticket might be- on the cur,
rency question.

three silver men and two gold men,

the democratic voters of the state. Tho

NO PRIZE FIGHTS IN TEXAS.
The Sheriff is Ordered to Notify tho Fight
ing Management to This Effect.

AUSTIN, Tex, Aug. p. Governor
Culberson, yesterday, made public some
correspondence between himself and
Sheriff Cabal, of Dallas, anent the Cor
bett-FitzSimmons prize fight.
The governor in his letter asked
Cabal if he intended accepting the at
torney generals opinion holding the
prize fighting law valid. Cabal replied
that if any writ was placed in his hands
by the county attorney he would GER
tainly serve it and he adds that in case
no writ is issued and the responsibility
is thrown entirely on him, he will un-
hesitatingly discharge his duty. He in
turn asked the governor if under the
law he would be justified in using force,
even to shooting down citizens, or if
such a course would be advised by him.
In reply to this the governor says that
at the proper time what force may be
necessary to successfully quell the
fight will be easily secured. He fur
ther advises the sheriff to notify the
fighting management at once that they
intend to suppress the fight at all haz-
ards, so that the management can
cease operations on the ring and build
ing at Dallas.

EXPANSION in LOANS.
Healthy Features of the New York Bank
Etatement.

New YORK, Aug. 26.-The New York
Financier said last week: The state
ment of the associated banks of this
city for the week endging Aug. "a is
favorable in every way. 1t was mark
ed by healthy expansion in loans, a
contraction of deposited and conse-
quent shrinkage in the reserve.
The past week witnessed a great
change in the conditions heretofore
prevailing in the money market. There
has been no advance in rates, but ev-
cry development points to an early
session of better figures for loans. The
movement of money from the interior
did not nearly equal the shipments
from this center to the south and west
more especially to the latter section.
The demand from the south has not
been as active as anticipated 1t is not
expected that gold shipments will as
sumo much larger proportion, since the
reduction in exchange rates has re-
moved chances of making much profit
on transfers of coin.
The expansion of s., ,257, 800 in loans
during the week represents business
done with country banks and demands
from commercial sources, as well as
some from some of the larger stock ex-
change houses.

10, TO BE GIVEN JUSTICE.
This Time ne VIII Smile, While His Emo
mics are Punished.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-Since the
closing of the Bannock Indian troubles,
the interior department has been busy
collecting material as a basis for re-
port of the whole affair and it has now
about completed its task. 1t has long
been understood that those implicated
in the killing and wounding of Indians
would be brought to account. The de-
partment of justice will soon have all
the facts of the affair laid before it,
probably today, and it is understood
that the interior department will
recommend that special agents. he de-
tailed to visit the scenes of the recent
troubles and make an investigation
with view to publishing the persons
who engaged in killing the Indians. In
the event that the department of JUS
tice acquiesces in this recommendation,
the interior department will send in
spectors along with the agents to as
sist in the investigation.
1t is not likely that Agent Teter will
take any part in this phase of the mat
ter, owing to the prejudice of the set
tiers against him.

The knights of Labor Asked to Join
In 1t.
MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Aug. ell. b
Martin, of the executive board of the
Knights of Labor, who has just re-
turned from the east, declares the
knights are dead in earnest as to the
boycott of the national bank note urged
by General Master Workman Sovereign
and that the boycott will be put into
effect after Labor day, September =.
After that date" says he, "all
knights, their friends, farmers organi
cations. populists and money reformers
generally, are requested to refuse tC
take bank notes for any obligation due
them. We expect active support from
the silver men, who recognize in the
banks the bitterest enemies TO the
white metal, Many labor organiza
tions have already given notice to their
employers that they desire to be paid
off in legal tender money and not in
bank notes, and many employers will
cooperate with us. We shall put the
bankers on the defensive, arouse pub
lie sentiment against banks of issue
and ultimately wipe out the malign in
fuence of the banks on our currency
system. 1t must be remembered thai
bank notes are not legal tender, and
no man can be forced to take them.
BY the time congress is in session next
December we expect the boycott to be
in full swing and to have good effect
on legislation"

THE TRADE REVIEW.
1t Is MId-summer Dizziness, Yet Buisiness
Is Better Than Expected

NEW YORK, Aug. ?4.-Bradstreet's to-
day says: The volume of general trade
throughout the east, south, southwest
and on the Pacific coast is no larger in
volume. In fact, at several southern
and eastern centres rather more quiet
is reported than a week ago.
The price of cotton is up again on
further reports of damage to the crop.
A dispatch from Dallas, to Bradstreets
says the north Texas crop will be later
than last year and 20 per cent. smaller
in yield. The price is now about two
cents higher than a year ago and cot
ton goods, notably ginghams, have
been marked up in sympathy. Not on
ly have Bessemer pig and forge irons
been advanced in price again this week
but so have steel billets and barbed
wire. wire nails and wire rods. Leaf
tobacco too tends upward. Among
staples which have remained firm are
wool, lumber, copper, coal and leather.
Petroleum tends downward, and eight
food product-flour, wheat, corn, oats,
pork, lard, sugar, and coffee--present
lower quotations. The outlook for
oats would suggest moderate prices, as
NOulu OudJ IOT COTUi anu ucuCc 1OT cat
tie pork and lard. Sugar is arbitrarily
marked down but wheat should go
down in view of accepted estimates of
short supplies at home and abroad is
not SO clear. At the south, grocery,
hardware and dry goods jobbers are
relatively most active. General trade
is favorable as anywhere else south and
Carolinas and Georgia. The Louisiana
rice crop is estimated will amount to
1900, 900 bags. Needed rains have fall
leu in South Carolina. General trade
at the south Is practically waiting ''un-
til the cotton begins to move"
On the Pacific coast business is not
particularly active. The Oregon as
well as the California crop is short.
To which L. G.. Dun. & CO., add:
Failures for the week have been 222 in
the United States against 2S4 last year
and 43 in Canada against 80 last year.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Aug. 26 There
is stir in the pig iron market. Pig
iron has advanced 81 in the last three
days and is now quoted at SIS. so per
ton, which is the highest point reached
since 1890, when it sold at 29-5e. This
advance has long been expected by the
manufacturers, owing to the ever-in-
creasing demand for pig iron, which is
the basis of all grades of iron AND steel.
A general rise in price may also be
looked for along these lines.

TENNESSEE STATE NEWS


Nashville, Aug. 25.-Early corn is re-
ported everywhere as excellent and ma
turing we'll, and tho crop is considered
secure. Some correspondents think the
prospective yield somewhat over-esti-
mated on account of the luxuriant
growth of stalk and foliage, but it is
generally conceded that the crop is the
finest for many years. Late corn is
making fair progress toward maturity,
but in places where there has been an
insufficient quantity of rainfall it is re-
ported as rapidly lowering in percentage
of condition. This is especially true Of
some portions of the Central division.
Cotton is reported doing we'll and
making satisfactory development under
the influence of the warm, dry weather,
and somewhat recovering from the eff
fects of the late rainy season.
Tobacco is also doing well under the
influence of favorable weather-warmt th
and sunshine and heavy dews and the
crop looks very promising at present
and recovering from the damaging eff
fccts of the late rains. In some sections
the plant is nearly ready for cutting,
and this work is expected to begin next
week. In some portions of the tobacco
district-;n the northern counties
there is considerable complaint of
worms.
