procured greater demand for woodland sheep
There is being developed market for both

days ago two shipments Of American wool
went from Boston to England. aggregating
$4,000 pounds. The fact il that the expor-

ed under that tariff. During its first year,
the export Of American Aeeces amounted to
4,279,lO9, while during the three Mckinley
years the average annual exportaiisn was
but 27l ,5l7 pounds. This American wool
is sent abroad because there is a profit in its

The first session Of the Porallst conyen-

who anticipated a relentless, bitter war
from the drop OF the gayei. and 1t was a
disappointment TO those who imagined
that the galleries would swarm with peo-
PIE drawn thither either by curiosity or
sympathy with the deliberations of the
convention. There was no wildcat Tight
ing, and the galleries. which hold 1900
people. we're practically IN empty waste.
Not over 600 spectators, at liberal esti-
mate. were in the balconies.

discarded conyentionaltiies. Fully one
half OF them sat in their shtrtsleeyes.
with their coats slung over the backs OF
their chairs Among them were many pic
t,resque personalities. Men who have
been known as agitators and reformers
for years were there. but there were also
many whose ability and force of charae-
ter have given them rank Ia high station.
As a body they were men of strong and
earnest convictions. Gov. Lewelling, Sem

of Texas: Col Peak, Of Georgia. Gen. Cox
