Therefore be on the Coast.

New YORK, July Ex-senator Squire,
of Washington, is in the city. He was
asked in an interview last night if he
had heard any intimation from the west
about the presidential candidates and
whom the west would favor. He said:
''You know as much about that as l do.
l could probably talk about western
tavorites, but it would be idle chatter.
" g have i've or six men tod " whose
names are on the tip of every ones
tongue as possibilities
There is General Harrison. We all
know that he drove the stage we'll one
time. The question is: Do We want HIM
for driver again? Then comes Thomas
B. Reed. He will hold in the speaker
ship the second place in point of power
in the gift of the government To be
the unanimous choice of his colleagues
in congress for the speakership, ID a great
thing. He is perhaps the best pdrlia-
mentarian in the United States. He is
not a speech maker or a pyrotecnnic
statesman. He is sure. solid and safe.

for six years; and l have stud. ed hun

dicious, able and approachable.

a more sympathetic man than any of the
other candidates.
"Chauncey NJ. Depew is brilliant and
we'll posted He has an accurate aud
! jud. cial mind, and is popular. In fact
there is not a man prominently named
but about whom something nice can be
said. The only trouble is that we have
an embarrassment of riches.
ave have excellent timber and yet, as
in war times when the rail splitter comes
TO the front, Il man as yet unknown may
i be chosen and he may prove the equal of
our monumental pres dent. The west, /
do not think has IN de the choice. There
is one thing which l want you TO record
me as heartily in favor of, and that is of
holding the national convention in San
! Francisco l want the the east through
her representatives to come out and see
our country.
The east stays within itself and never
| gets away from its extreme localism.
| Some one had said that had Colum bus
discovered the Pacific coast there would
never have been any New England The
west is like young giant just awaken
| ed and stretching out its arms to feel
! his rength.
"The west wants to enter into a better
! fellowship with the east. and this is
chance to accomplish that end. If the
convention was held the railroads would
arrange to sell tickets SO that in return
ing tourists could pass through Wash
] ineton and Oregon. 1t would be an ad-
mirahle way of bringing the east and
west together"

but little over one million. Winter wheat
receipts are light and northwestern crop
reports probably more encouraging for
the grower but decidedly uninteresting
reading matter for a believer in higher
prices. On any further decline from the
present quotation wheat should be
bought We did not advise purchases
two days ago when September was sell
ing around 721ac, but on general princi-
Piles the market should soon have slight
upturn.
Corn and oats: Reiteratiou is the order
of the day in the corn market. People
who are so confident of a big crop are
still at work very industriouslv selling
Scenery" Their efforts while laudable
in view of the circumstances have not
as yet declared large dividends. The
belief that corn will sell much lower it
may ultimately, is getting a little bit too
unanimous to suit cautious operator.
Provisions-HOg products without a
friend to give them support. Receipt of
hogs slightly over the estimate and
quotations lower at the yards. Present
prices do not appear justified by the con
ditions and if anything can be said about
them they should be bought Oh such
breaks as we had today.

Chicago had dispatches
from his crop expert at Hallock, Mimi,
that the crop in hat section will be the
largest on record, and that the tone of all
advic-s indicate less damage than was
feared.
Chicago-"If the farmers had any
sense about selling their wheat" said
Robert Llndbloom "higher prices would
prevail AT present there is no use of
bidding up for it when we know that we
will soon have one million bushels
thrown at US by the northwest
81 have done what l could to
educate the producers not to sell any
faster than consumers want it, but it is
almost hopeless TO try to teach them that
their method Of selling is responsible for
the low prices. There will be large
demand for wheat in September"

SAN Francisco July 31.-The chase
for the woman, who it is said, was invited
into the Emmanuel church by Durrant,
and before whom he subsequently APP
peared nude, stl continues. The story
now is to tho effect that Durra ant met the
woman under an arrangement to take
her to a party or social gathering.
The two met in accordance with the
agreement and as they approached the
church, Durrant suddenly thought of
the books needed at the meeting. He
induced his companion to enter the
church with him, left her in side room.
while he disappeared into the
library. Soon, the story goes, he
returned minus his cothes
The woman, though half fainting from
fright, kept her presence of mind, and by
a sirAtagem, escaped without her hat
and gloves. I hese articles he handed
out Of one of the front windows to
her, with threat of death if she should
say a word about the affair.
This story is anonymous, and no one
has come forward TO substantiate it
Captain Lees. however, still believes that
the rumor has foundation in fact.

Rebuked by Hannibal Hamlin.

Mr. Hamlin was a true gentleman.

On one occasion one of the able men
and leaders of the Senate, distinguished
for a self-conscious, lordly air in his
department, in the change of seats
which occurs once in two years in the
Senate chamber had gained a seat by
the side of Mr.. Hamlin, and began at
once to practice upon him those little
exactions and annoyances which he
had been accustomed to impose upon
others. After a few days of yielding to
these encroachments, Mr.. Hamlin
turned, and in tone that did not re-
quire repetition, said, Sir, if you ex-
pect to be treated like a gentleman, you
must prove yourself one" There was
never occasion afterward to repeat the
Exchange.

FtOry of the Kitten-Napping Monkey and
Nemesis
Dick Walker lives at No. Is Vandam
street, and is manager of an uptown
glassware emporium, says New York
World. Animals of all sorts he is fond
of, especially dogs and monkeys. The
mate of a Brazilian ship recently
brought him a monkey which he named
Adam. The simian was very tame, and
was allowed the liberty of Mr.. Walker s
residence and back yard. The fence
there was favorite roosting-place for
Adam until Friday.
Mr.. Walker was looking out of the
window, and in the next yard saw
mother cat with three or four kittens.
She carried them one by one in her
mouth and deposited them on the grass
plot. Adam was gravely watching the
proceeding, and. suddenly descending
into the neighbours yard, he seized
kitten as he had seen the cat do, and
with it dangling from his jaws, he
scrambled up the fence. He was not
slow either, for right behind him was
Mrs. Cat, with her back up and her tail
as big as a muff. Along the fence to
the window Adam ran, and jumped into
the room. Mr. Walker took the kitten
from him just in time, and shut the
window. Mrs. Cat knew no stopping,
however, and through the glass she
dashed, and after Mr.. Adam. Walker
managed to separate them, but not I'M
til he was scratched and bitten, too.
Adam was punished severely by the en-
ragged cat, and whenever he sees one
now he runs under a sofa and hides.
He still owes Mr.. Walker the price OF
pane of glass.

VICTORIA'S NEW SECRETARY.
Sir Arthur Bigge Said to Have Great
Tact.

Sir Arthur Bigge Said to Have Great
Tact.
Arthur John Bigge has been appoint
ed by Queen Victoria to be her private
secretary, in place of Sir Henry Pom
sonby, who has been very i'll for some
time. Sir Arthur is said to have re-
markable cour tesy, talent, and tact. He
was Lieut.-Col. Bigge of the Royal Ar
tillery, when appointed, but the Queen
made him knight as a further mark of
her esteem. Sir Arthur Bigge, K. c. B.,
G. NJ. G., comes of an old Northum-
brian family, being the son of the late
Rev. J. F. Bigge, vicar of Stanford
ham, Northumberland. He is in his
46th year. Entering the Royal Artil-
lery in 1869, he successfully became
captain in 1880, major in 1885, and
lieutenant-co1oneI in 1898. He served
through the campaign in Zululand in
1878-'79, and was mentioned in dis
patches. In the latter year he was ap
pointed aid-de-camp to Sir Evelyn
Wood. The French Prince Imperial.
when alta ched to the Royal Artillery,
became acquainted with Lieut.. Bigge,
whose intimate friend he remained IN
til the young Princes tragic death in
South Africa. He became groom-in-
waiting in 1880, and seven months lat
er was appointed assistant private sec
rotary to the Queen. The ability with
which he performed these duties
marked him out for further promotion
in the royal household, and this was not
long in coming. In 1881 he was made
equerry in ordinary. In that year
Bigge married Constance, daughter of
the late Rev. w. F. Neville.
