Commission firms reported an increase

port of the st. Paul for the fiscal year
and the action of the Manhattan di-
rectors Oh the dividend continued to
exert a favorable influence on specu-
lation and the sentiment was decidedly
bulli5h. A drive was made against che
shorts in Manhattan, Tobacco, sugar
and Chicago Gas and an advance of Il
OPS per cent. resulted. The declara-
ton of the usual dividends by the
Western Union and Sugar companies,
an increased disposition on the part of
bankers to discount commercial paper
and a reduction in the posted rates of
sterling exchange of e cent to 4.S21a
and 4.S4l@, stimulated the upward
movement.
The sharp advance induced realiza-
tons on a high scale and the room

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Sept. o.
Letters received in this city Sunday
from the Arctic whaling fleet in Win
ter quarters at Herschell island, re-
port an unusually thrilling experience
in the winter and spring. There were
thirteen ships there with a total colony
of about 500 souls. Early in the fall,
reports of rich finds of gold in the
Yukon valley created discomfort among
the crews and deseItionS followed as

back in irons, but three escaped in a
pitched battle with rifles.
About the middle OF March, twelve
more deserted and were pursued by
twenty officers and sailors. The de-
serters pillaged the native settlements
and terrorized the Indians, who fed
to the feet for protection. March II,
the pursuers overlook them and a bat
tie ensued in which forty or fifty shots
were exchanged. The pursuit was then
given up. Soon after, the deserters de-
vastated the HOffman'sj trading camp,

TRENTON, N. J., Sept 9.-The state
Democratic convention to select Bry-
an electors was called to order at
noon. Samuel Fowler. acting for Chair
man Smith, of the state committee.
The mention Of Bryan's name was the
signal for vOciferOus applause. Tempo
rary Chairman Cutter made an elo-
quent address:
The committee on permanent organi-
cation decided en- Senator William E.
DAILY, Of Hudson, for permanent chair
man, and when the convention recon-
vened at 2:3O O'Clock. he made a brief
address and introduced Mr.. McMillin,
of Tennessee. The latter made a
speech of some length, saying, among
other things, that we are trying to de-
feat an attempt to destroy one of the
constitutional forms of our currency,
and then made an eloquent speech for
silver. Re said that all Democrats adj
united that bImetallism was both
CONSTITUTIONAL AND DESIR-
ABLE,
and the only question submitted to the
Chicago convention was whether it was
practicable. TwO-thirds of the conven-
ton declared by their action that it
was practicable and that ought to set
tie it for all Democrats The speaker
then quoted from the Republican plat
form of 1892 in favor of bimeta1lisrn and
he asked what change had come over
the spirit Of their dreams since Mark
Hanna had begun his vain efforts to
make Mckinley president. They were
now unblushingly preaching the doc
trine that We should allow foreign
power to dictate our domestic financial
policy. He went on to give a table of
statistics showing how agricultural pro-
ducts have fallen in price since the de-
mcnetization of silver, and attributed
It all to the advance of gold. The plat
form adopted, beyond a. ratification and
Endorsement of the nominees and plat
form of the Chicago convention, and
pledge TO support the national ticket,
is devoted to state issues.
The committee further reported a
resolution declaring it the sense of the
convention thar all members of the
convention not agreeing with the Chi
cago platform should withdraw from
the committee.
Johnson Cornish. of Warren, and
Theodore Budd, of Burlington, were
chosen electors at large. District cleo
tors were also chosen and all were for
mally instructed to cast their ballots
for Bryan and SewaH. The convention
then adjourned.

HAS NO DESIRE TO RUN ON THE
.NAIToNAL" TICKET.
Believes the Governorship of 1ii-
nois Lies Between Tanner and Alt
geld Ex-Congressman Forman
Succeeds Black.

CHICAGO, Sept. General John c.
Black, who is United States district
attorney in Chicago, sent his expected
letter this morning to the Illinois COM
mittee of the National Democratic
party, declining the nomination for
governor, which was given him August
The letter was read to the state CEN
trail committee at a meeting in the
Parleer House and after a recess the
committee unanimously selected ex-
Congressman William S. F'orman of
East st. Louis to make the race for
governor. Forman had already been
placed on the state ticket for the Of
fee of attorneys general. Daniel V.
Samuels of Chicago was nominated to
fill the vacancy caused by Mr.. For
mans elevation. This preserves the
geographical balance of the ticket. On
account of the recent exchange of open
letters, bitterly attacking each other,
the campaign between Altgeld and
Forman is expected to be extremely
lively. In his letter, General Black in
Inmates that he was nominated while
absent from the state and without in
formation as to the situation. He adds:
II am convinced, by investigation,
that in this state the election for gov
ernor lies between Messrs. Tanner and
Altgeld. I am further convinced, be
You'd a reasonable doubt, that the only
effect in the election of my candidacy
would be TO diminish the chances of
one or the other of these two gentle
men for election. Men differ in their
opinions as to whose chances would be
most seriously impaired: but, in any
event. the whole effect of my candi-
dacy, so far as the election is con-
cerned, would be what L have stated
above, namely, to diminish the chances
OF one or the other of the candidates.
so believing, I feel constrained,
highly as I prize the good opinion of
the gentlemen who placed me in nom
nation, to decline to be a candidate"

of Athens held the ice-boat champion
ship cup of the upper Hudson with
his large and powerful ice-yacht, Snow
Flake. She rushed furiously over the
ice by the power of her immense sail
spread and heavy construction, and
was known as brute" of the worst
form. She had a long overhanging
boom, and her mast was stepped over
the runner plank with an abnormal jib
and comparatively little straddle be-
tween her runner shoes. Still, in the
captains eyes, the Snow Flake was the
acme of perfection; and as he had
beaten all the craft on the Upper Hud-
son he was justly proud of my ice
GIRL as he affectionately termed her.
Fred Folger and George Bower had
been chums since boyhood. The latter
was a country boy, whose father own
ed a small farm just below Hudson,
N. Y, and Fred had spent a very en-
Joyable two weeks the winter before
on Georges homemade ice craft. But
what ranked his soul was the good
natured guying Captain Lee always
gave him ON the slowness of the craft.
All the fall Fred had been drafting
and redrafting an ice-yacht. putting in
the best points of the latest construc-
ton, adding every device he had learn
ed from expert yacht designers who
understood all the tricks of cheating
rating and sail area. His boat had
been constructed by one of the most
expert builders in the country. Phil
Low had finished the rigging, and
Jack Sawyer had put together suit
OF sails that fitted like the proverbial
paper on the wall; and, as Fred laugh
ingly remarked, Jack is no tent
maker"
The weather had been for some time
bitterly cold, and the ice was perfect.
Fred had been hastily summoned from
the city by his friend. Bright and ear
ly the morning after his arrival the
two young men were busily engaged
in putting together the 28-foot back
bone, hanging the runners, setting up
the standing rigging, reeving the run
ming rigging, and bending the sails. A
hail from the shore caused them to
look up:
Say, shipmate." exclaimed old Cap
tain Lee, as he approached the new
