Redeem the Centennial Prop
erty-Other News.

Out OF the $4,000 shares OF the Cen.
tennial mining company. $4,000 have
been deposited with the Old Colony Trust
company and on them 81 share will be
paid toward the amount being raised
by the stockholders protectivecommittee
to redeem the property at the sale
ordered by the court. The sale which
has been postponed twice, is now set for
March IL. The amount necessary to re-
deem from the bond holders was
thought to be $4,000, but this has
been found by an examination of the
original books to be reduced by $4,000
by the closing out OF the amount on a
directors loan.
Thus considerably more than half the
amount has been secured by the com
mittee and it is likely that stockholders
by an outlay Of 81 per share will again
come into possession OF what many
think a valuable property and what
looked as good as lost to them
before the protective committee CON-
menced its efforts.

An interesting and perhaps exceedingly
important bit of political gossip has reach
ed me from a very good source I give it
for what it is worth. IL IL to the effect
that Platt and Quay, who are respectively
the big men of New York and Pennsyl-
vania, rs every one knows, have decided
to stand or fall together in the Republican
national convention at St. Louis Their
present scheme Is to throw the vote of New
York for Governor Morton for few bal
lots, while the vote of Pennsylvania Is be-
ing cast for Reed, and IL n few votes Of
this sort do not produce tendency In the
convention toward the nomination OF
either both are to be abandoned, and the
combined strength Of Platt and Quay Is 90
be thrown suddenly and simultaneously
for Senator Allison. lnasmuch as Plstt
and Quay together are expected " control
about 100 votes in the convention. IL Is
easy To see that II this plan he carried OUT
the chances of the Iowa senator for the.
nomination will be very much enhanced
That some such scheme as this has been
under consideration am able 70 say posi-
lively. That the plan will be followed out
Is Of course q matter for the future to de-
termine.
Reeds sharp Tongue.
There has been n good deal of comment
here upon the fact that Speaker Reed has
never really believed he would be prcsi
dent of the United States. That he has the
ambition he will not deny himself, but he
has never had any confidence in his politi-
cal star. He is too level headed and self
contained TO exaegerate his own impor-
lance or TO magnify his popularity. Those
same qualities have convinced him that he
is too positive and outspoken n man 10 be
taken up for president He has always
feared that his sharp tongue had made him
too many enemies. II is perhaps true
that some Of the satire which the big
speaker has in the past aimed az promi.
nent men of his party-such for instance.
as Garfield, Arthur, Hayes and Harrison
has left It's sting in the minds OF their
friends. personally know number OF
prominent men. friends OF one or other Of
these former presidents, who are against
Reed now with a good deal OF bitterness
because Of some Of the sharp things he
said about them while they were living,
which convinces me that politics II not al
together game OF sclnshness. and that In
politics, ne In everything else. true men
stand by their friends after they are dead
But II Reed does not reach the White
House he will not he greatly disappointed

New York. Dec. 1.-THE stock market
wac .duller than ever to-day, and even
the professionals displayed only lam
Euid interest In speculation. ConSidera-
bic disappointment was manifested by
the favorable Government crop report
and failed to stimulate business. The
only reason assigned for the dizziness is
the prevailing uncertainty in regard to
the action OF Congress on the Cuban
question, 1t being feared that resolu
tons may be introduced that would up
set the calculations of the bulls if they
should start into u campaign al this
time. The traders were much mixed in
their views. Some OF them bid up the
prices for certain shares, while others
succeeded in depressing Burlington and
Quincy, st. Paul Reading, General
Electric and Cordage. General Electric
ran off n to 31la on the sale of block
of stock carried by we'll known Specula-
tors. but it subsequently rallied to 50.
