The Bulk of the Business Was in the Rail
 road Issues

New York, Jan. 7.-During the great CT part of the day operators at the stock exchange were waiting for the re- suit of the annual meetings of the United States Cordage and American | Sugar companies, and as result spec ulation was at very low ebb. The condition, however, was firm notWith- standing the strength of sterling eX- change and the almost unanimous be- lief that large amounts of gold will be exported by Saturdays steamers to Europe. When the decision of the house of representatives on Carlisle's curren- cy bill became known, however, more confidence was displayed and a sharp advance followed. The market for the first time in weeks showed some signs of life, and operators covered short con- tracts and were even disposed to buy for the long account
 The American Sugar and United States Cordage meetings developed llt- tie of importance, and had no influence on the market. Chicago Gas was conspicuous feature, rising 23s to 77. Rumors of the retirement of eastern capitalists and the election of Standard Oil representatives in their places were used again to-day to advance the stock. The failure of American Sugar officials to submit statement on the condition of the concern did not have any infiu ence whatever, and as a matter of fact the stock reached it's top notch near the close. The anthracite coalers were strengthened by the decision of the Delaware and Hudson directors to maintain It's regular dividend rate of z per cent for the year.
 The bulk of the business was in the industrial issues, but the railroad group, while quiet, ruled firmer than of late. The important advances follow. American Sugar 2ss to 9O9s, American Tobacco 1h to 9S%,, Baltimore and Ohio 1A to 62%, Burlington and Quincy x to 71ss, Northwest 1 to 96A, St. Paul ss to 56ss, Lackawanna 11s to 1611k, Delaware and Hudson 2A to 12S1s, Lake Shore 1A to 1S7, Missouri Pacific 1 to 241s and Jersey Central to 91.

The Cn1nne1,s Story.

Tn an editorial article, written evil
 dently by the inimitable Bromley, the
 New York Tribune of Thursday pays
 attention to Colonel w. H. Stevenson's
 escapade in New York city, and thus
 refers to the political portion of the
 colonel's story: "Colonel Stevenson
 explained in his usual terse and forci-
 ble manner that he had every reason
 to believe that the grown person was
 Kidnapping the five-year-old, and he
 had interfered for the protection of helpless innocence. When the grown
 person asserted that he had shown him his official badge, the colonel concisely informed him that he lied, which
 seemed to indicate to bystanders the existence of difference of opinion. This had already been suspected. The colonel then waiving cross-examina- ton, admitted with great frankness that he was prominent resident of Connecticut, and could have been gov ernor of that state if he had desired, but had refused the nomination when it had been rendered to and urged upon him. Except for this incident, it is not likely that the fact would ever have become publicly known that the colonel was so near being governor of Connecticut. The occurrence to which he referred doubtless took place | at some time when the democratic | party of Connecticut was in executive | session. His disclosure of the secrets | of the executive session was probably | due to the excitement of the moment, to which much must be pardoned It is to be hoped that MT. Elias Cor nelius Benedict, who is the colonel's great political rival in Fairfield county, 1 will be magnanimous enough not to take unfair advantage of this slip. Notwithstanding the colonels frank ness the police sergeant insisted upon him in custody until late in the evening, when he was bailed out The process of bailing out, it may be useful to state for the benefit of per- sons on the Connecticut seacoast who only know the nautical significance of the phrase, is legal formalty."

CROP RETURNS.
The Department 90 Try a New Plan
of Securing Reports.

Washington. May 29-The agricultural
department has made an important im-
provement in its system Of securing crop
returns. and while it is not expected that
the new system will be in fun operation
before twelve months, stin its benefits
are expected TO be felt much earlier. as
the new scheme will be put into opera
ton as fast as agents can be secured TO
do the work.
Recently a conference was held be-
tween Secretary Morton and Statistician
Robinson of the department Of agricul-
ture, and a committee appointed by the va
rious commercial bodies Of the country,
with the view of reforming the crop re-
porting system of the department and re-
organizing the force of crop reporters.
The new system determined upon is the
outcome of that conference
The new plan is to have correspondent
in each township Of every state. instead
Qf, as under the present plan, four re-
porters IN each county. This will be an
enlargement of the present working force.
and ii is expected by Mr. Robinson that
the department will have 5000 township
correspondents in the field. The old plan
was to have three OF the reporters In
each county turn in their matter TO the
fourth. who is designated as chief cor
respondent" and he averages their re-
ports, and communicates to the depart
ment. Under the new system, each of the
township correspondents will communi-
cate with the agricultural department di-
rect. Because of the additional work
these reports will entail on the Office
large increase in the clerical force of the
department will have to- De made.
The great difficulty the department IL
experiencing Is in getting township re-
porters, as they are not to receive pay.
A circular has been prepared and sent to
county clerks throughout the country,
asking them to nominate TWO men in each
township, one of whom would be selected
to serve as reporter 1t viii take some
time, the officials say, to make these ap-
pointments, but the work thus far has
progressed favorably.

M'KINLEY MEETS A WATERLOO.
FORAKER NOW THE POLITICAL
boss OF THE STATE.

The Ohio Delegation in the Next Re-
publican National Convention sure
to Contain Two Anti-IcKfnIeyitcs
at LarRe-The Ticket Completed
and a Platform Adopted I'm a Rush.
The Convention I'm n Hurry To Ad-
jOurn and Rushes Its Business.
GAINESVILLE. o.. May 29.-victors and Van
quished came together again this morning
in memorial hau with intention Of fin
ishing up the work of the republican state
convention with dispatch. to the end that
the delegates and visitors might return
to their respective homes in time for par
ticipation in the exercises of Decoration
day.
Senator Sherman was prompt i'm OPEN
ing the proceedings at o'clock and the
delegates were equally prompt in respond
ing to his call for order.
Ex-Secretary Foster was first introduced
to submit the platform and resolutions,
which were hurriedly read and as quickly
adopted, moderate applause being bestow-
ed upon the naming of Gov. Mckinley as
the candidate for the presidency and ex-
Gov. Foraker for the next senatorship.
Nominations for lieutenant governor
were next on the docket. Only one name.
that of A. w. Jones of Youngstown. was
submitted and his selection was made by
reclamation.
W. ]. Gilbert of Caldwell was nominated
for auditor of state: Judge Minshall for SUI
preme judge, and Josiah b. Allen of Athens
for clerk of the supreme court.
The net result of the defeat of Nash is
to dispossess Gov. Mckinley and his
friends of the control of the state political
machinery after January next. and to
make eX-Gov. Foraker the party dictator
of the state. 1t likewise settles the fact
that the Ohio delegation to the next repub-
lican presidential convention will contain
at least two anti-McKinleyites at large in
the person of Gen. Asa Bushnell, who will
then wear the title of governor. and ex-
Gov Foraker. who will probably be al
luded to as senator-elect. But little inter-
est was taken in to-days proceedings, as
it was evident that the Foraker slate
would go through
The convention began to suffer from the
heat and to get disorderly by the time
nominations for attorney general were
reached and every attempt at a speech was
howled down.
F. ]. Monette of Crawford was nominat-
ed on the third ballot.
Samuel j. Campbell of Jefferson was
nominated for state treasurer on the third
ballot.
E. /. Libarger of Coshockton was re-
nominated by acclamation for member Of
the board of public works, and at 205
o'clock the convention adjourned sine die.
