KELLOGG WAS NOT BEATEN.

The Louisiana Convention Sends the Ex.
 Governor to the 1t. Louis Convention.
 NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 1.-The repub- lican state convention has adjourned sine die. The following were elected delegates for the state-at-large to the St. Louis convention: William Pitt Kellogg, A. H. Leonard, Henry Demas, J. Madison Vance. The statement is made that Vance, who was pro- nounced Mckinley man until he ascer- tained that the convention was for Reed, then made terms with Kellogg by promising to vote for Reed. Demas, it is said, did not commit himself on the presi- dential question until he saw that Reed men had the convention, so he then made terms with the Reed people. Thomas A. Cage finally beat the combi. nation formed against him early in the day by Hero, Warmoth, Guichard and others and was again elected perma- nent chairman of the body.
 The convention indorsed the state ticket headed by Capt. J. H. Pharr for governor. The ticket was nominated by populists and indorsed by the sugar planters. Mckinley has 12 of the i6 delegates elected, and his friends con. fidently assert that ex-Gov. Kellogg will not be seated as delegate in the nutional convention.

Little Doubt That the Whole Bond Issue
 Wnl Be Readily Taken.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-Nothing defi- nite can be learned at the treasury de- partment as to the numbe and amount of bids already received for the new bonds. As fast as received the bids are deposited in safe where they will re- main until next Wednesday, when they will be opened and their contents an- nounced. It Is certain, however, that Q large numb Der of bids have been received and every mail brings considera ble ad- ditions. As to the amounts or prices of. fered, even the secretary of the treasury knows nothing, except in the few cases where he has been privately ad- vised by letter. There seems to be no doubt that the amount of the bids will exceed the slOO, ,OoO, 600 to be offered, and it is expected that the foreign offers will be considerably more than was expected when the loan was an- nounced. The improved political situ- ation abroad, it Is believed, will con- tribute to this end.

 WAsHINGToN, Jan. 30-The house committee on agriculture finished the bill making appropriations for the support of the agricultural department for the fiscal year 1s9c. The total amount carried by the bill is $3, l5s,- 392, as against s3,3OS, T5o appropriated for the present fiscal year. The $780, 900 carried by last years bill for the purchase and distribution of valu- able seeds, which was unexpend- ed by Secretary Morton, is again appropriated, the sentiment of the committee apparently being in favor of the continuation of the prac- tiee. There is an unexpended balance of over a million dollars that has accu- mulated from the agricultural bills for some years past, and rather than let this amount lapse and be turned into the treasury, the committee will recom- mend that it be set aside as . nucleus of fund for the erection of building for the department of agriculture in this city.

We believe that these schools have been established and are supported for the purpose of developing citizenship, and should. there. fore, teach the principles of true gov- ernment and peace -ather than the science of warefare. We further believe that systematic body training in all grades of these schools will help produce the best of which each child is physically, mentally and morally capable. lnsuring to the government the support of loyal citizens under any and all emergencies Will you use your influence and vote against all bills which in any wise design to introduce and establish military tactics in the public curriculum9

,rhe yyllson-Gorman Tariff.

Some strange things will be found in the workings of the Wilson-Gorman law, when one sits down to analyze them. For instance, 1t has reduced by one-half the imports of articles of food which were permitted to come in free of duty under the Mckinley law, and trebled the importation of articles of food under the, dutiable list. The articles so classified include provisions, rice, sugar. fruits, spices and many other articles which everybody, poor as we'll as rich, must have; yet the free importation of this class of im- ports has been cut down one-half, and the dutiable importation thereof doubled. The importation of luSuries has also enormously increased. in spite of the hard times, the free imports of luxuries having more than trebied under the new law.-Toiedo Blade.

More Deficiency.

The first half of January shows q deficiency in the governments income of over $6,50O,O0O. The deficiency for the fiscal year, up to January l, was in the neighborhood of $16,000,000. Now it is more than S22.0OO,O0O and five months and Q half of the fiscal year remain. The record for the six months and half exceeds by more than S5,- 100000 the deficiency for the whole year, as estimated by Secretary Car ilsle in his annual report. But as MT. Carlislc's figures have been wrong be- fore there is no cause for surprise in these rc7elations. There is loan of sloOoOO,OO0 now pending, but Mir. Cleveland has given the country his word that none of that money will be used for the current expenses Of the government, statement which is only partly true, but as the deficiency should be stopped the republican revenue bill, which would at the same time give needed protection to many languish- Ing industries, ought to be put into ehect as soon as possible. The coun- try demands an income at least equal 10 its outgo.-Iowa State Register.

 CINCINNATI Jan. 30 United States Post Office Inspector w. T. Fletcher has just completed 8 singular inspec- tion of the. post office at Georgetown, Ind, and put it in new hands. This is a village of 600 inhabitants The post office, for more than quarter of 8 century. has been administered by the Motweiler family, father and daughter. The father died 15 years ago. The daughter, Miss Louise Motweiler, now 8D years old. has been in charge ever since. Inspector Fletcher found the floor of the office COW cred five feet deep with mail. It required two days of hard work to sort it out. The old postmistress had lanes through this mass of matter. Forty cart loads of newspapers, some dating back to 1876, were dumped out where the villagers could pick out their own mail. Over 4,0OO undelivered letters, with unbroken seals, some of them post marked 20 years ago, were deliv- ered. Miss Motweiler lived in the same house, of two, rooms, and had for her companions ten cats. Thirty-three pounds of copper cents which,. with silver coin, amounted to SlOO, were in the office,

 VINEYARD HAVEN, Mass, Jan. 29.-A party of 25 men who were picked up from open boats off Long island by the schooner Helen H. Benedict were landed here late Monday night and left here early yesterday for New York. The men were all reticent about their affairs and would give very little information as to the circumstances attending the wreck, but it was learned that their ship was the steamer J. w. Hawkins, recently purchased at Baltimore for an alleged Cuban cruise, and that she sailed from New York last Sunday night, having on board be. tween 75 and 100 men, bound, it is claimed, to join the Cuban insurgents. The rescued men report that when the steamer was off the eastern end of Long Island, she sprang serious leak, and the water gained so rapidly on her that all hands were obliged to take to the boats. It is thought that all of them have been saved.

 MONTREAL, Can., Jan BOA special from London says: Lord Salisbury and Right Hon. Mir. Chamberlain have been considering the results of inguir- ies into the records here, made on behalf of British Colum bia, which show that the United States has no right, under the Anglo-Russian treaty of 1925, to 5000, 900 acres of land oppo- site Prince of Wales island on the Pacific coast, which is of high strategic and commercial value, and which the United States has usurped since buying Alaska. The records of the dispatches of Bagot to Lord Cam ming show that the Clarence straits, and not Portland inlet, is the correct boundary. It is suggested that the Canadian members of the Alaska boundary commission have been mis- led into assuming the correctness of the United States assumption.

The Western Passenger Association Re-
 fuses an Extension.
 CHICA GO, Jan. 29.-A meeting of the Western Passenger association was held yesterday for the purpose of con- sidering the requests for an extension of time on the tickets for the G. A. R. encampment at St. Paul and rates be- low those already granted for the meeting of the Knights of Pythias at Minneapolis Both requests were de- nied. Some of the roads were willing to make the extension on Grand Army tickets, but the general feeling was against it, and the matter was decided in the negative. The Great Western road, which was the first to guarantee a rate for the Grand Army of one cent per mile, was strongly in favor of mak. ing the tickets with Q 20 day limit in. stead of 30 days, as asked by the Grand Army.
 Commander in Chief Walker said after he had been informed that the Western Passenger association would not grant the desired extension on the tickets: Well, that simply lets St. Paul out of it. That is all there is to that. The entire matter will now be reopened and another city selected for the encampment." When informed that the other roads of the joint traffic association had declared that they would not grant terms more fla vorable than those already made by the western lines, Commander Walker replied: "Then there will be no G. A. R. encampment this year. We must have 30-day tickets or we will not hay

 NEW YORK, Feb. L-R G. Dun ( Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
 Chough business is sstll waiting, there aSo some signs of definite improvement It Is new believed that the first payment for bonds will cause no further pressure and the money mar kets are easier as respects loans on collateral, though the difnculty of making commercial loans still check operations. But large maturitles ct the end of January huve oeon met more satisfactorily than was expected, and merchants and bank ors report that the signs promise good spring trade No increase ap- pears as yet in the demand for principal prod- octs unless for some forms of iron and steel, In which good contracts have been made this week. and uncertainty as to congressional ac- ton sttll affects industries and commerce. but the increase in inquiry and the reports of the dealers are deemed assurance of large trade coming whenever the uncertainty Is over.
 Signs of improvement in the iron and steel business are gratifying, even though they spring from combinations which have raised the price of coke and allotted the output of lake iron ore, There is also a better demand Tor wire nails after long stagnation and also TOT sheets. The cotton mills are discussing curtailment of production, as goods continue weak with an output largely exceeding distri- button, though the week has brought consider. able more inquiries and larger spring trade Is still hoped for. Woolens are practically unchanged. as each passing week of open weather diminishes the prospect of profitable business, while jobber clothiers and retailers have considerable stocks of heavy goods re- maining.
