WHAT FREE WOOL Is DOING.

L
The free traders promised the Ameri-
can wool growers that free trade in wool
would advance the price OF American
grown wool because the American man.
ufacturers would be enabled to supply
both the home market and the markets
OF the world with wooden goods, hence
there would be an extraordinary demand
for American grown WOOL The protec-
| tionists denied this and said that the
effect OF free wool would be to lower the
price of American grown wool, and to ad-
vance the price of wool in foreign mar
kets. The protectionists were right. The
free traders were wrong. A late report of
the London wool market, dated septem-
Der q, had the following:
"All combing woods have made the great
est advance greasies being Id per pound and
scoureds I'd per pound higher than in July,
with instances OF a still greater rise on wools
which, being OF more fiimsy character, were
then regarded as on the border line between
combing and clothing. and are now placed
among the former class. Short wools which
made no advance in the July series. are still
relatively very cheap, but at their low values
the rise now Is l216 to 10 per cent Low priced
lambs wool, which then was at low water
mark, Is Id. por pound on grease and "a per
pound on secured dearer; a gain OF 20 per
cent.
Crossbreds of all grades participate very
fully in the rise. The finer qualities which
were less effected in July. well the
coarser, which made a GREATER move then,
are equally ID and even % par cent dearer.
All South African woods have enhanced
their value. the combing as much as Is per
cent. the clothing not more.than 10 per cent
In contrast with the foregoing record
OF " ool prices In London we give the
following record OF prices in Philadei-
phia and Boston OF American grown wool

year more aud more an endorsement OF
| their faithful service on the board OF
directors of the municipal corporation.
That service is matter OF record, and
their candidacy for already several terms
has not been based on promises but on
service actually performed, work done to
the satisfaction OF their constituency
despite whatever errors in Judgment may
have been made. With these gentlemen
their records demonstrate their fitness
or unfitness for continuance In Office and
their endorsement or rejection is not to
be brought about by loose talk that does
not deal with facts available to every tax
payer. And when fitness and ability are
demonstrated the element OF experience
in municipal affairs becomes OF import
ance when II comes to question OF choos-
ing between such men and any new
claimants to public favor.
We have as able men out of the present
City Council, for instance, as we have in
it. We have no doubt that many OF our
fellow citizens would, IL they would de-
vote themselves to the city's interests,
serve the municipality as well as it has
already been served. But, other things
being equal, the tried and trusted SER
want makes the best servant, whether in
public or private affairs. And the records
made by many, we may say most, of our
fellow-citizens who have already served
the city for several terms arc such as to
commend for them the support of their
neighbors, as they have SO long COM
mandsd 1t. And it lies in most OF the
wards with the Republican primaries
to consider claims and qualifications to
Office.

IN FAVOR OF CUBA.
OPINIONS OF MANY SENATOR'S
AND CONGRESSMEN.
A RECOGNITION SENTIMENT
4 Majority of Those Addressed Want
to Aid the Insurgents as Far as
Possible-Senator Sherman Don't
Believe in AnneXation-A Com
mission.

Chicago, Sept. 21.-The Tribune
prints letters from United States SEN
ators and forty-one congressman in re-
ply to questions addressed to them
whether congress should send a COM
mission to Cuba to look into the con-
dition of affairs there. They were
also asked, what, in their opinion,
should be the condition of affairs
there. The replies were received from
Baker, Of Kansas; William c..
Chandler and J. III. Gallinger, of New
Hampshire. Of the representatives
five are from Iowa, four each from
Ohio and Pennsylvania, three each
from New York and Indiana and two
each from Minnesota, Kentucky, Kan
sas, Texas, Massachusetts, Missouri
and Arkansas, and one each from
Connecticut, Maine. Mississippi, Wis
consin, Louisiana, Illinois, Nebraska.
Alabama and Virginia. In comment
ing editorially on the replies the
Tribune says:
"As will be seen from the replies
there is strong sentiment in favor
of the dispatch Of a commission to
Cuba, and also in favor of recognizing
the belligerents' right as insurgents
as soon as it can be done consistently.
There was only a little handful Of
members adverse to taking any ac-
ton, and there were fifteen or more
who were not yet ready to express
their views, but a large majority Of
those addressed declare themselves
strongly in sympathy with Cuba and
in favor Of recognizing and aiding
them as far as can be done without
violating the interna tional agree
ments."
Senator Sherman, it was observed,
is in favor of recognition of them
when a de facto government is es-
tablished, but is opposed to annexa-
ton.

Mr.. tinnerty says that nothing short
of complete autonomy and self-govern-
ment for Ireland will be considered by
the men engaged in the new move
ment. Home rule temporiZing is at
an end. The convention will be mill
tary in spirit and aim. 1t will Try to
awaken the old force" patriots to
action. Everything will not be lovely,
judging from the action of the united
Irish societies of PittSburg, which de-
nounces today's convention as a
scheme to deceive the Irish peope.
Among the New Workers backing
the movement are William Lyman,
General Michael Kerwin, Counselor
NJ. J. Landon, Captain John Kirwin,
P. J. Cody, Judge Shannon, New
Rochelle; M. D. Gallagher, John F.
Kearney, C. J. O'Reilly, John P. Hut
ton and Acting National Secretary
Boland. Eighty-fiye Nationalist clubs
and other Irish societies in New
York want to send delegates. Encour
aging words have also been received
from other sections of the country
from O'Brien J. Atkinson, of Detroit;
O'Neil Ryan, of st. Louis; Andrew
Noonan, of st. Louis; Frank Agnew,
Chicago; Mayor Fitzpatrick, New Or
leans; Judge Cooney, San Francisco;
DIR. NJ. O'Toole, San Francisco; Judge
NJ. F. Witheare, Philadelphia
The leaders in the movement say
they are confident that not since the
Fenian days has there been anything
to equal the enthusiasm that will be
created at the convention, which will
be the largest Of it's kind ever held in
this country. Delegates are arriving
even from far-away Australia, from
the Argentine Republic and other
South American countries. The total
attendance at the convention may be
ten thousand.

BAYFIELD, WINS.
THE NEW FISH HATCHERY GOES
TO LAKE SUPERIOR.
Feeble-Minded Institute Won't Be
Located for a Few Days.

Madison, September -.
The new fish hatchery will go to
Bayfield,. The commission will meet
Friday and undoubtedly adopt the
report of the committee that has been
looking over sites offered. The com
mittee is unanimous for Bayfield,.
The state board OF control met last
night. Nothing will be done with
reference to the school for feeble
minded until the last of the week, and
perhaps not until next week. Prof
w. A. Henry, of the university, is
still in the east and wishes to be pres
ent when his reports with reference to
Marinette, Wausau and Chippewa
Falls are opened. He visited those
places at the request of the board and
made an examination with reference
to water supply, fertility of soil, SAM
tary conditions and other matters.
The board has heavy task before
it at this meeting. Sept. 80 closes
both the fiscal and institutional years.
There are countless reports and num-
berless matters to be received and
passed upon.

Gently pardoned after serving six
years for murder. The trouble was
over a woman. The murderer es-
capped to the woods and has not been
captured. Joe Benveneute, alias Joe
Bean, is one of the men pardoned
last March by Governor Upham. The
trouble arose over Beams woman
who went to live with Buffers while
Bean was at Waupun. Bean crept up
behind Buffers as he was working a
windlaSS in the Omaha coal sheds and
shot him three times, all taking eff
feet. Buffers died instantly. Bean
was tried in this city in 1889 for a
murder at Hawthorne and got four
teen years. All parties concerned are
Italians.

PEARY BACK AGAIN.
THE ARCTIC EXPLORER RE
TURNS To- CIVILIZATION.

st. Johns, n. F.. Sept. 22.-The
Peary steamer Kite has been signaled
off this port. All her flags are flying,
Indicating that Peary and friends are
on board.
Peary and his party had only ten
days previously returned from a.great
overland expedition which proved
comparative failure. independence
bay, the most northern part Of Green
land, was reached early in June, but
they were deferred from any great
undertaking by insuff1ciency of food.
They were obliged on this account to
abandon any attempt to make further
progress. Nearly all of the dogs per-
lshed. The Kite met splendid weather
north and started to explore the west
Of Smith sound and traversed the
whole coast visiting Jones sound
Cape Sabine and Littleton island.
Many sensational stories are current
among the crew of the extremities to
which Peary, Lee and Hensen were
reduced.

vate dispatch from Prof. L. L.

him. She too, had been touched, for
kindness Of the sort he showed had
not been very usual in her life. And
so the whole car-theSe through pas
sengerS across the continent get well
acquaintedJ-wa delighted to see the
happy outcome of the Irritation that
had been progressing with such hot
haste.
And then it came out that Miss Neil
son had fallen into fortune. For Neill
had spent the last ten years in Guate-
mala, and fortune, weary Of sporting
with such a patient man, had smiled
from his first landing in Central Amer
lea. Mines and plantations had come
into his hands, and he was rich and
would he richer. They went straight
to Guatemala-that is, as soon as Mr..
Neill had ransacked the big New York
shops for gowns, jewels furniture
everything to make Miss Nelson COM
Portable and happy.
They went by way Of San Francisco
and Frawley and the stock company
were dazzled and overwhelmed as
Miss Nelson, smiling, triumphant
gorgeous, passed through. The days
and months of heart-sickness over
money matters, of tramping New
Yorks cruel streets, of waiting pa
tiently and fruitlesSly in theatrical
agencies, were gone forever. All that
had faded like a dream. The poor
little actress is the millionaires wife.
