OF INTEREST TO PRINTERS

Linotype Machines.

COLORADO SPRINGS, CoLo.. Oct. H.
The convention of the International Typo
graphical Union was concluded in this
city to-day and the delegates will leave for
their various homes tomorrow and the
next day. A big excursion composed OF
them will leave for Denver in the morn.
ing and a few hours will be spent In that
city.
The business transacted at the sessions
to-day was of great importance to the
printing trade in general. The matter OF
removing the National headquarters was
fully discussed and by vote OF the dele
gates it was decided to leave them at In
dianapolis.
A charter was refused the machinists
and the printers will be permitted to have
full charge of and the operating OF the
Linotype machines. The Canadian print
ers will be allowed $3.50 with which to
lobby measure through the Assembly
amending the copyright law. The execu-
tive council was instructed to assist the st.
Paul printers in their strike. An assess
ment of so cents On each member of the
union was ordered for the purpose of max
ing an addition to the Printers Home in
this city.
At the conclusion of the session this
evening an expression of thanks was ex-
tended to the city for courteous treatment,
and the convention disbanded to meet two
years hence at Syracuse, n. 7.

JUMP OF WHEAT PRICES
Great Day for the Bulls in the
Pit Of the Chicago Board
OF Trade.
Scarcity Of the Crop Abroad and In.
creased Demands Cause the
Sharp Advance.

CHICAGO, ILL, Oct. lit was an
other great bull day in the wheat pit of
the Chicago Board of Trade. The exclte-
ment was at the feverish stage all through
the session. December wheat took an
other flyer in price, cents over the clos
ing price yesterday-although 75X cents
was the official closing quotation. De-
cember really brought 761s cents before
the scrambling left the pit. Yesterdays
closing price was 721s cents.
There was general alarm when the mar
ket opened this morning lest there would
not be enough wheat to go around, and
there was not bushel to be had for less
than 1ss cents advance on yesterday's s
closing price. In fact, very little could
be had under "a cents, or IL cents higher
than it closed yesterday for Decembe de-
livery. The reason for this sudden and
substantial rise was to be found by glanc-
ing at the Liverpool and London cables
The foreign markets LED in the scramble,
just as they did the day before, and the
advance OF cents in Liverpool was quickly
re-echoed here.
Milne, Bodman & Co., New YORK, wired
their house here that all the wheat they
hadoffered to the United Kingdom last
night at 2 cents bushel over the market
had been accepted, and other New
York houses reported that wheat offered
by them to the Continent at 81 cents over
last nights closing prices had been
snapped up. With this starter the De-
cember prices bid were from 1871 to "a
cents. This advance was quickly followed
by further exchange dispatches, both for
eign and domestic, which started the price
to 74X cents.
News came from San Francisco that two
more steamer cargoes of wheat had been
taken for India and that inquiries were
being made for sailing vessels to take
more wheat to India. The whole situation
was regarded here as consequences of the
stolid indifference of European grain
dealers during the last year to the risks
they were running by allowing their
stocks to run down nearly to the bottom
in the face OF bad crop reports.

SUGGESTS Il FLAG DAF.
Hanna FGpors a Display of Old Clio,
bn Patriotic Hotera

by Patriotic Toters.
CHICAGO, ILL, Oct. 17.--Chairman
Hanna of the Republican National Com
mittee has suggested flag day" in the
campaign. He promulgated the following
to-day:
1.-The American flag has been in the
present campaign the emblem or insignia
of National honor. Its influence has been
Tor great good in the cause OF good peo-
pie. Its display in many places has been
potent in the advancement of the coun-
try's battle for the maintenance OF its
honor at home and abroad. / therefore
suggest that on Saturday October 81, all
who intend to vote on November 3 for the
preservation of our National honor, for
sound money and the advancement OF our
peoples interests and general prosperity,
display the National colors at their
homes, their places of business and wher-
ever they may be seen. in order that their
purpose and those who are undetermined
may the more patrioticaily and Intelli-
gently conclude how best to perform their
duty as citizens"

emerging from the throng on the arm OF
her excited escort, with a policeman on
the other side.
The stop at Bay City lasted fifty min
utes. The crowd at Va.sar amounted to
about 1000 and heard few remarks. An
exhibition of fireworks marked Mr..
Bryan's progress from the train to the
City Hall at Huron. Mr.. Bryan made a
very short address from the balcony to
5000 people and continued his journey at
$40 O'Clock. Mount Clemens, the last
stop before Detroit. gave him rousl7g
reception.
Mr.. Bryan made three speeches here in
Detroit tonight and the aggregate of his
audiences equaled, if it did not exceed.
the greatest crowds that saw and heard
him in any city he has visited. He made
bis first address to large concourse of
people that completely filed the spacious
Washington boulevard in front of the
Hotel Cadillac and Tapped over into the
adjoining Michigan avenue, State and
Grand River avenues. MIR. Bryan began
to speak at s O'Clock, Immediately after
his arrival at the Cadillac from his special
train.
At one time the people to his left began
to sway back and forth, and the excite
ment among those who were buffeted
about and the resistance became so intence
that a panic seemed imminent. Women
tainted and had to be carrisd out, brawny
men fighting for passage for them. This
increased the confusion, and amid the
shrieks and screams and shouts that came
from the helpless throng the candidates
voice could not be heard.
1t was probably on account OF the
threatened danger that he cut bis speech
short and proceeded Immediately to the
Auditorium 10 receive another great DEM
onstration.
So admirable were the police arrange
ments there, as everywhere else tonight,
that the nominee had no difficulty in get
ting into the structure and was able to be-
gin his address promptly on time. Mr..
Bryan delivered his longest and principal
speech of the evening there, devoting his
attention manly to the Palmer and Buck
ner ticket and platform. One man, Isaac
Adams, a fruit-dealer, died in the excite
ment.
Equally as enthusiastic as the others
was the third Assem- biage to which Mr..
Bryan spoke. Like that at the Cadillac
IL took place in the open air in front OF the
city hall.
The city hall gathering was equal to
that at the Cadillac Hotel. As stated Mr..
Bryan's auditorium speech was the most
important OF the evening.

FAINT IRISH TO SPEAK.
But The Colonel Is Too Busy to Camp on
Brydn's Trail.

But The Colonel Is Too Busy to Camp on
Bryan's Trail.
CHICAGO, ILL, Oct. 17.-Vice- Chair
man Hopkins of the National Democratic
party's campaign committee received g
letter ro day from Euclid Martin, the
leader of the Palmer forces in Nebraska,
ufging him to send John P. Irish OF Cali
fornia to that State to follow the route
which will be taken by Mr.. Bryan Novem-
Der for 300 miles and to speak at all the
places the silver champion does, winding
up with a night meeting in Omaha. Mr..
Martin states: Nebraska is in a fair polit-
ical condition, with the chances in favor
OF the electoral vote being cast for sound
money. This tour of November viii
probably have some effect in Bryan's favor
and we wish to do what We can to check
it."
The engagements made for Colonel Irish
will probably prevent his being sent to
camp on the silver candidates trail, but
another speaker will be sent. In view of
the encouraging Nebraska situation 1t was
practically settled to-day at headquarters
that Generals Palmer and Buckner will
go to Omaha and maybe to Lincoln.

CLAIMS JUDGES THREATENED.
Unless They Meet and Reconsider al
Obnoxious Action Their Homes
viii Be Burned.

SPRINGFIELD, KY, Oct. 17.-Not salts
fed with destroying all the tollgates the
Washington County mob threatens to
burn the homes of the mem bers of the
Court of Claims. The new trouble is the
result of the action of the court, which at
its regular session on Monday of last week
decided that nc. longer would the county
pay annually the sum OF $50 each to the
dependent poor of the county. This
morning Justice John S. Yankey of the
court, who lives about three miles from
Springfield, received through the mails
an an onymous letter in which the threat
is made that if the Court of Claims does
not meet in extra session and reconsider
its action the houses of each of the men,
bers of the court will be burned to the
ground
