YACHTSMEN AT DINNER.
The Annual Banquet Of the Rhode
Island Yacht Club.
Felicitous Speeches and Amusing Enter
tainment Follow Feast.

Fully 250 members and guests OF the
the annual banquet held at the Narragan-
sstt Hotel last evening. Previous to the
banquet, that is, from until o'clock,
an informal reception was held In the ho-
tel parlors during which Reeves full or
chestra rendered a complete concert pro-
gram. At 8 O'Clock the heavy dining
room doors were thrown open and the
reunion of club members gradually broke
up as they adjourned to the Danqueting
hall.
The hall was tastefully and appropri-
ateiy arranged. The long tables, three in
number, were trimmed with fresh carna-
tions and fern leaves in the way OF natu-
raj flowers, which added a heightening
effect TO the customary table dressings
and candelabras. At the head table were
President f. Howard Wright, Commo-
dore John M. Richmond, Rear Commo-
dore X. l.. Greene, Secretary Benjamin 3.
Clark, Treasurer Il. Il. Herrick, members
OF the standing committee and large
number Of invited guests.
There was no formallty and eulogies
on the wonderful growth and progress
Oh the club by members and invited
guests that was highly appreciated by
the amateur jack tsrs, for IL there is one
thing jolly jack hates, especially when
he's out for a good time, it Is formality;
so with nothing to fear from this quarter
all hands from the commodore down to
the cabin boy fell to and enjoyed one OF
proprietor Humphreys best culinary
efforts.
At the conclusion Mr.. A. G. Barstow
for the committee announced brief en-
tertainment as happy conclusion to the
stag dinner.
This entertainment, which was furnish
ed by portion of the Rhode Island
Wheelmen's minstrels, proved TO be great
success and consisted of banjo and man.
dolin duets by Messrs. Moore aud Boss,
a farcical sketch by Messrs. Anthony and
Williams, a negro skit by Msssrs. Shirley
and Perry, Elliott Mathews in humorous
monologue and Browns Juvenile quartet.
This performance was given on tenn
porary stage at the end of the dining hall
artistically draped with the various sig
nal flags, Stars and Stripes and large II.
i. Yacht Club pennant as a center piece.
AS happy remembrance OF the most
successful dinner of Rhode Islands pet

pient of miniature representation of the

Gross March Earnings of Northwest
Will Be 100000.


NEwYoRK, March 81. Tobacco furnish
ed over one-third of the total transactions
OF yesterdays market. Its advance, how
ever, had but little influence on other
stocks. Neither did the excellent st.
Paufs statement. The markst was ad-
mitted TO be strong, but its failure to
respond to favorable news seemed to In
dicate that prices were not ready for any
material advance. Sentiment, however,
Is more bullish and the next decline is
likely to show very far buy
ing. The larger operators are
disposed TO see whether any large amount
OF gold is likely to be shipped before start
ing upon anything like bull campaign.
Upon this point opinions are conflicting,
although 1t Is rather generally conceded
that some gold will be shipped. There
were some bull points last night on Chi
cago, Burlington d Quincy and Sugar,
but generally there was not much excep-
tion OF anything in particular for the rest
of the week. The Supreme Court decision
against Louisville a. Nashville was ex-
pected to have little effect in London,
and knowledge that more money would
be drawn from the depository banks was
considered bear point.
JosEPH's LETTER.
Joseph says: "While holders of the
tirangers, especially Chicago, Burlington

dend. Buy few hundred shares of
Chesapeake 4 Ohio. 1t is a dirt cheap
stock. Profit taken in Toabcco on the
long side is now in order. The people
who have been buying Rock Island mean
to make more than on ordinary turn. "
London is at a standstill as far as Ameri-
can shares are concerned. Morgan will
arrive in London tomorrow, and then
spirit of activity may be looked for in
Southern Railway preferred. Consols are
firm at 119 1915. N. Y. Central is up
5-s, and there Is good buying of Reading
bonds. Traders here are mostly even on
the market and will sell on any further
ra1y.
Vice President Sykes Of the Southwest
says that the March earnings will show a
gross gain of $400, 600 and will be the ban
ner month for the winter records. There
is talk among the Vanderbilt following,of
Northwest increasing It's dividend this
summer. The stock is relatively cheap.
There is some doubt now whether the
Tobacco directors will get quorum at
their meeting. The talk is that Tobacco
will settle back a few points preparatory
to taking a leap into the 90's.

OoO-West Virginia People Involved.
Clcago. August 16.-The Chicago
Consolidated Iron and Steel Company
made an assignment in the county
court yesterday morning to the CHI
cago Title and Trust Company. The
assets are placed al 100000, with Ia
biiities about the same.
Frank S. Weigiey, the attorney for
the inso,vent company, was unable TO
give the amount Of the liabilities. They
are, however only a fraction of the
assets. and the firm s entirely solvent"
said Mr. We!gley.
The company is simply compelled,
by reason Of the presen, stringency Of
the money market, 70 ciCse its doors
temporarily in order to prevent cred
tiers from levying. That is the situa-
ton now, and when the money market
eases up, the big plant viii again fire
up its furnaces and pu, its men to
work"
The plant is located at Harvey, and
is sad to be one of the most complete
in this country for the manufacture Of
general machinery.
1t has been in operation two or three
years. John NJ. Sweeney, formerly of
Wheeling, W. Va, is the president and
principal owner 1t was moved from
Wheeling to Harvey two or three years
ago, and has since been enlarged and
extended, and up to a short time ago
did a fourishing business.
Several hundred hands have been
regularly employed since the plant was
started at Harvey, but of late only
handful of men have had work. special
work giving employment TO from fiji
teen to twenty men.
The company is capitalized at $4,000,

the American farmers, are not receiving
their share Of this prosperity. Not
only that. but, like the American farm
ers. the burden of this prosperity Of the
non-proiucing classes rests upon them,
for, again like the American farmers,
the British farmers are giving two in
products for one in dear gold. The
British farmer is rapidly coming to u
realizing sense of what ails him, and
consequently the sentiment for bimeJal-
Iism is growing among the agricultural
and laboriug classes in England. The
farmer and the lgborer believe tha, a
greater abundance of silver coin in circu-
lation would give them better prices for
their crops and would give higher wages

A contemporary calls attention TO sew
eraI con,empdble devices By which the
gold standard advocates hope to show
vo,srs that free coinage should no, be
adoDted in this country. one plan IS
for the bankers to load people down
with silver dollars just as if ii would
be necessary under free coinage TO DO so.
Another scheme is the circulation OF
Mexican dollars. which was inausurated
bv ,lr. Armour, Of Chicago. Offering TO
3ay his employees TWO Mexican dollars
instead Of one American dollar.
some OF the sid papers do not hest
s-e TO denouuce this method OF cam
9als7iug. Speaking Of the Armour
scheme. the Baltimore News says:
Everybody VIII srant that as an argu-
men- addressed 10 people who know the
facts. i, is worthless" The Washing
ton Pos. is more emphatic. and speaks
of Mr.. Armour's performance as "a silly
and stupid axpedient, far more calculated

employees as might De inclined 10 favor

ton which may some day come home to

says it would like TO see the gold stand
ard advocated with more regard 10 fact
and common sense.
The sold bugs should meet and decide
what arguments to use. As the cam
paign against silver is now progressing,
one single standard newspaper tells an
ether that it is simply proving what the
free coinage men have always claimed
and much energy is wasted in one gold
bug trying TO sTaighten out another.

going to be misled by The promises or the
s0phistry G.. political bosses who this
year are only the agents Of the trusts.
Insurance companies are nearly all
allied together and using their 0rgan!-
cations as means Of influencing the
votes Of the people. Savings banks in
nearly ell the cities have converted
themselves into agencies for dis,ribut-
ing goidte literature. Why should
the banks be the agencies of enc polit-
ical party, or rather, this one great
gold syndicate? The banks themselves
are supported by the people, the bust
ness men and the producers Of the
country. They are the ones that make
the banks. When business is good then
comes a demand for money; when bus
mess is slack and there 5 TO demand
for money, It lies id,e in the banks,
Just like a ship tossing to and fro on
the waves. when there is no ore or other
freight to be carried. Money S like a
great ship; it moves the crops; X floats
tn. ore: IL carries all the great staple
products Of one country TO another and
from each Of cur States to other States,
where market can lie found. Il 4 big
ship is more profitable than little ones,
certainly a large volume OF honest
money s more profitable to the whole
country as means OF carrying on ali
branches Of business and moving the
products Of human labor and skill The
ccntractionist IS like the man who
would cover the ocean with little ships,
such as Columbus used, instead OF the
great steamers that ply between the
ports Oh one side of the ocean ard the
other. or On enc of our great lakes.
Il IL current in New York that Mr..
Morgan called on Mr.. Hanna and said:
you can have all the money you want;
if you don't win in this campaign i IS
your own fault" That is exactly the
measure of the goldite confidence. They
believe that in large use of money 1t
is possible to control the majority of
the votes in this country. That is the
business end Of their politics, aad that
is the practical end Of Their business.

stage We do not say openly, for the pur-
pose Of buying votes, but if that is to

"Take all the money they offer YOU
and then vote your convictions and you
are not bribed." Eternal vigilance is

company turns himself into q political
