The following interview was con-

"Col. Richard II. Norton of Troy is
in the city. The Colonel was once a

this is why he protested almost before

SEPARATE SILVER PARTY.
The New Movement Urged by Senator
Jones, of Nevada.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Nov. g.
United States Senator John p. Jones,
of Nevada, is strongly of the opinion
that there will be a separate silver
party in the campaign of next year.
the formation of such a party is to
grow out of the coming silver con-
ference at Chicago, he thinks.<
This Chicago conference is to take
place some time ear the Christmas
holidays, in the hope that it may have
an effect on Congress. A call is now
being prepared by the Executive
Committee which grew out of the
Memphis conference last summer.
This committee consists of ex-Con-
gresham j. Fl. Aeklen of Tennessee
M. w. Rusk of Colorado and Joseph
Battell Of Vermont. The American
Bimetallic League, of which Gen. A. j.
Warner is chairman, with headquar-
tiers at Washington, and the National

LIVE o MARKET.
Natives Steady to Higher. Texans
strcng-Hogs Sc to Zoe Higher.
sT. LOUIS. Nov. u. 1895

Of. LOUIS, NOV. II, 1895.
CATTLR-Arrivals of natives were
only 30 cars with few heavies above
the medium grade. Heavy cattle
were only steady, but light butcher
qualities were Zoe to 15c higher than
last week. Another advance on cows
was reported to-day and the bulk of
the COWS were 25c higher than the
end of last week. In the South
ern division receipts by noon were IS
cars and the cattle were mainly from
West and Northwest Texas, the alb
sence of any considerable number
from the Indian Territory being the
cause of the shortage. The market
was firm and strong and the prices in
general better than last week. The
ordinary steers sold to-day we're 1oc
higher.
HoGs+The supply of hogs to-day
was less than a large run, although
the gain was considerable over Mon
day. The opening of trade was on a
strong and active basis. The prices
were sc to 10c higher than Monday.
The butcher demand was good and
liberal, the shippers We're active
operators and packers bought a good
part of the receipts.
The bulk to-day sold at $3.50 and
1896, against ss.45 to $3.50 yesterday,
and the top to-day was 1870 against
$500 yesterday. This looks 15c high
or, but better hogs were here to-day
than were on sale yesterday, and the
advance to-day on the bulk of sales
was Iuc. The light hogs sold at IS. 40
to So IS, the medium weights at $3.50
to s3.671E and heavy hogs, good to
choice, sold at s3.55 to $3.50. The
hogs were ali sold and not too many
were on sale.

T o
May Go Into the Law Business With
Olney and Carlisle.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 1.-THE
latest story of Cleveland's plans for
the future is that he will go into the
law business in New York City, with
Olney and Carlisle as partners. AS
this story goes, Mr.. Carlisle had de-
termined to go to New York and open
a law office, associating with him his
two SONS, before the partnership with
the president was suggested. Mr..
Olney will not leave Boston, but that
fact will in no way interfere with the
Elan. A Boston branch of the great
firm, particularly with the ex-Secre-
tary of State at the head of it, has a
promising look.
1t is said that MI. Cleveland is by
no means a rich man. He is not a
poor man, but it is well known among
his friends that he has not enough to
warrant retirement and a life of Ieis-
ure, when the fact of a young family
of girls is added to other eonsidera-
tions.
His position in such a firm as pro-
posed would be that of the office ad-
wiser. 1t would not take him into
courts Or where public argument is
necessary. That work is distasteful
to him. Mr.. Olney's inclination is in
the direction of office practice. In
such a firm a man like Mr.. Carlisle,
to attend to the more public duties
and to make the arguments, viii be
Indispensable. If the firm is formed
as talked of it will be on equal terms,
each member of it being entitled to
one third of the profits of the bust
ness. There will be plenty of lucra-
tive work in it for MIR. Carlisle's sons,
from whom the father is not willing
to be separated. Two kinds of cases,
international and financial, which
would seek such a firm wonld be the
most important.

CLEVELAND NOT A CANDIDATE.
President Declares Himself to Certain
Members of His Cabinet-No De-
sire for a Third Term and
No Wish to Influence
His Party.

WASHINGTON, D.. c., Nov. 9.-Pres-
ident Cleveland has taken notice OF
the third-term talk. He has told a
member of the Cabinet that he will
not permit his name to be considered
in connection with the nomination
next year. The expression came
about through a conversation started
by the member of the Cabinet regard
ing party plans next year. In hi
the Secretary said there was an m
timation of a desire to know the Pres
ident's personal intentions. MIR.
Cleveland responded promptly and
plainly. He gave the Secretary to
understand that his mind was fully
made up and that if the third term
movement progressed beyond talk he
would stop it.
With another member of the Cab
met the President has gone still
further in declaration of his position
on the coming campaign. He not on
" told this second Secretary that he
was not to be considered al a posi-
bility, but he added that he had no
wish to exercise any influence upon
the party. He said in about SO many
words that there would be no Admin
istration candidate for the Presidency
and he babe this Secretary exercise
his own inclination in the coming
campaign.
Members Of the Cabinet regard
| there expressions as definitely set
| Ting both the third term movement
and the question of Administration.
influence being given in any direction
They know now that Mr.. Cleveland
will not permit his name to be con-
| sidered, and also that there will be nc
| administration candidate. The result
is seen in the freedom with which the
members of the Cabinet are taking
! individual positions. Two of these
members are not known to be of the
| opinion that the best interests of the
party demand the nomination of Will
liam r. Morrison. SO far as their in
! 6uence goes it will be given in that
direction, but they are acting indie
pendently of the President and of the
rest of the Cabinet.
Don NJ. Dickinson, of Michigan, the
ex-Postmaster General, who is a fire.
auent visitor at the White House, but
whose influence there is probably not
nearly as great as he would have peo-
pie believe it is, has been trying to
spread among the office holders the
idea of organizing to control delega-
tions to the next National Convention.
He has endeavored to give this the
appearance of an Administration
movement. There is good authority
for the assertion that the President
and the members of the present Cab
met do not encourage or countenance
Mr.. Dickinson's efforts.
In his recent conversation with
those members of the Cabinet to
whom he talks most freely the Presi-
dent has said that it will be a glad day
to him when he gets out of office. He
has said that he never returned to
Washington with such reluctance as
the last time. His language justifies
the inference that he regrets his Pres
idential career did not end with one
term.

Composition of the Next Congress

From the Chicago Record.
Tuesdays elections have given the
Republicans a good start toward Sc
curing a majority Of the Senate of the
LVth Congress. Republican success
ors are assured for Brice of Ohio and
German of Maryland, whose terms
expire March 4, 1897. The capture
by the Republicans of the New York
Senate which participates in the cleo
ton Of Mr.. Mills successor is going to
make it hard for the Democrats to re-
tain that seat, and probably means
that Hill will retire from Office with
President Cleveland.
1t is doubtful if the Republicans
care very much for the control of the
present Senate and the responsibility
which that involves. There are in
the body at present AZ Republicans,
80 Democrats, 4 Populists and 2 silver
Republicans. The party which tri-
umpbed Tuesday will probably get
The Senator from Delaware. If, then,
they shall get the two Senator's from
Utah, whose addition will make the
total number of Senators 80, they will
have As, or just half. This will leave
the party one short of a majority over
the combined opposition.
With a Democratic President in the
chair, who would veto any party leg
i%slation, this is as well, perhaps, as if
the Republicans were in absolute con-
troll of both houses, and may relieve
them from embarrassing responsible
ties. For the control of the succeed
ing Senate, however, the Republicans
may be expected to make a desperate
struggle.

NEW YORK, Nov. 81 don't know
of any single performer who made as
much at one appearance as Padere-
wski did on Monday night said a
local manager. "There is reason to
believe the statement that $3.50 was
in the hall on that night. That is the
sum at which the receipts were esti-
mated and the expenses were very
light. l should say that $3.50 would
cover them, and that left $4,000 for
the pianist and no one to share it with.
Jean de Reszke, with his salary and
percentage, never reached it, and it is
doubtful Il Patti ever received as
much for a single performance.
