NEW YORK, August S.-As on yesterday
no announcement to the advocates of
higher prices could be gathered from the
early London quotations, which were frac-
tionally lower and that market was de-
scribed as idle and dull" for American
securities. The local market was but a
repetition of that of yesterday. great dull
ness and narrow fluctuations being the
only characteristics. The talk on the floor
pointed to large gold shipment on Sat
urday. In some quarters as high as three
millions were alleged to have Teen already
as good as engaged More conservative
figures. however. placed the amount as
between one and two millions There was
also talk Of frost scare" to he worked
by the bears some time during the dav
but with the exception of Burlington, which
was rather heavy and sold Off fractionally
there was no evidence that the scare
would meet with even moderate success in
depressing the prices of the Changers.
Speculation In the ''industriaIs" was even
more restricted than usual. Sugar. the
most active, moved within very narrow
limits. while Chicago Gas was almost
neglected, despite the efforts of Chicago
bears to create activity at the expense Of
values by circulating numerous dispatches
alleged to be more or less inspired, that
people who have hitherto been yery close
to the Illinois attorney generals move
ments were selling the stock, and that the
attorney general contemplated action look

legal position to do business
The bull movement in General Electric
collapsed early in the day, it having trans
pred over night that the only basis for
yesterdays advance was a suspected short

scared into running to cover
Manhattan was strong on buying SUD-

MnnitOba's Tone Regarding the Privy

ManitOba's Tone Regarding the Privy
Council.
WINNIPEG, August S.-The declaration
of an eastern newspaper that If Manitoba
did not obey the order to restore Roman
Catholic parochial schools it would be
whipped into subsection by force Of arms
has intensified the bitterness here. The
Tribune, the organ of Premier Greenway.
says:
Manitoba will not be whipped into SUBJ
lection to that ridiculous aggregation which
supposes it is governing the country; on
the contrary, it proposes subjugating that
aggregation. Let there be no misunder-
standing. If the imperial privy council
should at any time exceed its jurisdiction
and, by so doing, should injuriously affect
the interest OF Manitoba, their province
may be counted upon not to question its
jurisdiction.
Manitoba is truly loyal and not a
mock loyal community. True loyalty Is not
unreasoning subserviency, and true loyalty
is not incompatible with resistance to the
oppressive coercive restriction or 1epriva-
tien of constitutional rights"

Admiral Bunce will meet with another
delay in the assembling Of the vessels Of
his squadron at Newport for fleet man

duty on the coast Of Florida looking after
Cuban filibusters. The Atlanta will scarce
Iy be available for the maneuvars, mas
much as she has not sufficient speed to

turned from southern waters, and the Ra-
leigh is just back from Florida, conse-
quently there is an Impression that the

Fntal Collision Near Plymouth, N, H.,
This Morning.
PLYMOUTH, N. H., August SIN a
head-on collision between the cannon ball
express. southbound, and a freight train,
rorthbound, just south of this place this
morning. three trainmen were killed.
The dead are Frank Stevens of Lakcport,
engineer of the express; leaves a widow
and one daughter.
George Merrill Of Lakeport, fireman of
the express; leaves one child.
Henry GIines of Northfield, fireman of the
freight.
There were about fifteen passengers on
the express train, but none of them were
seriously hurt. Editor w. J. Raidall of
Meredith severely injured one leg, however,
and Conductor Eugene Bennett and Brake
man W: L. Wade of the passenger train re-
have been caused by a heavy fog.
Engineer Stevens fell under the boiler of
ms engine and was burned to a crisp, while
Fireman Glines of the freight train engine
the freight locomotive, crushed to death.
All Of the bodies were so terribly dis
inquired that they could hardly be recog-
niZed.
The force of the collision was so great
that the roadbed was torn up for con-
siderable distance. and telegraph poles near
the road were knocked down. A wrecking
crew was ordered to the scene from Lake
port and Woodsville and the work on the
tangled mass of wood and iron was soon
begun. The bodies of the dead trainmen
were quickly removed and sent to this
place.
Over dozen freight cars were wrecked,
and they were piled on the tracks in such
shape that the work of removing them
was very slow. It Is probable that the
tracks will not be clear until late this
afternoon.

wreck, and asked that medical assistance
be sent on a special train at once.
The special was made up as quickly as
possible. with doctors aboard. and went at
full speed.

JACKSON, Miss, August S.-Representa-
tive Hall presented a lively scene this
morning before o'clock. Over a thousand
delegates to the democratic convention
were on hand and working like beavers.
The seekers after the remaining Offices
seemed to appreciate the fact that they
were entering on the home stretch and
were ready for the contest.
Speculation was rife as to what had been
done during the hours intervening between
last nights adjournment at II o'clock and
the hour Of meeting this morning. 1t was
rumored that Hudson. one Of the candi-
dates for attorney general, would with
draw early in the balloting in favor of
Johnston, but the rumor could not be veri-
fed prior to the meeting time. Combina-
lions of all sorts and for all offices were
limited.

ton. raped sharply at 9:45 and announced

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
BALTIMORE, Nd, August S..-Mr. John
e. Hurst was officially notified of his romi-
nation for governor by the committee of
the democratic state convention this morn
ing. The following gentlemen composed the
committee: Ex-Gov. E. E. Jackson, Messrs
John s. Writ, T. W. Mealy and VIM T.
Biedler.
When the committee called on Mr. Hurst
In the counting room of his Hopkins place
establishment, they found the nominee in
his shirt sleeves, and up to the elbows in
work.
Mr.. Hurst greeted his visitors cordially
and put on his coat during the ceremony
OF notification, at the close of which he
accepted the nomination, and informed the
committee that he would send them his
official letter Of acceptance in a few days.
and that he would outline his course in
case of his election in that letter.
AS soon as the committee had withdrawn
Mr.. Hurst threw eff his coat and WAS soon

Company again.
The attitude of State Senator Thomas G.
Hayes has not changed in the slightest de-
gree. and he Is. II anything, more out
spoken than ever in lis expressions of in
disnation gainst Senator German for the
latter's assertion of him prior to the con-
state convention.
Trying to Placnte Hayes.
All efforts to placate Mr.. Hayes have
proved ignominious failures and the stand
taken by him Is occasioning the bosses no
little anxiety. The latest overtures for
peace were nade this morning and were
spurned by the sappointed aspirant for
the nomination.
The mission of Cancellation was intrusted
to Ex-Governor Elihu Jackson. who called
on Mr.. Hayes at his office in the Equitable
building today, but met with the chilliest
kind of a reception.
Not only did Mr.. Hayes refuse to consider
the ex-2overnor's plea for harmony, but
he in5inuated that his visitor had played
the traitor to his (Hayes) cause in scarce
ly a less; degree than German had done. and
the bosses are beginning to realize the diff
ficulty of the task they have undertaken in
trying to induce MT. Hayes to bow to the
Inevitable.
The contest among the republicans as
the time for their state convention ep-
proaches Is getting bitter, and both the
IowndeS and Master factions are OUTGOING
each other In the extravaganza of their
claims. The popular belief is that Mr..
Iowndes will receive the nomination on the
first ballot. as those in charge OF his inter
ests are much more astute than the man.
ayers of the Master boom.
Awaiting the Primaries.
Both sides are eagerly awaiting the pri-
maries, which will be held in Baltimore
next Monday. when a bitter and exciting
contest is assured. The Master men claim
twenty-one votes, and the Lowndes fac
ton Is out with like claim, and no little
trouble will ensue In case any crooked
work is undertaken.

fight the city has ever with sssed. with the
