The mine people were far behind

the terms of the lease, their right OF

that the plant will be in operation
soon and that the royalties will be

before election that victory was sure

fact that Frank Rockefeller. five days

up by the flare of large numbers of
Roman candles and brilliant rockets
which were fired from a stand at the
lower end OF Chapman street. Repre-

serenade and made few a few brief
remarks in which he thanked the
people for their liberal support and
their showings OF loyalty to the Re

THE MARKET ATLARGE.

Though the week has been one of
tremendous excitement and business
has had little chance, the iron trade
has made good record. Some buy
ers with more confidence than others
had in the result Of Tuesday closed ND
deals at low figures lately quoted for
early deliveries and the week was
quite up TO the preceding one in ton
mage placed. Now that the election
is over and the continuance of the
present monetary basis is assured. it
is not necessary TO speak guardedly
about the immediate future OF the
iron trade. The announcement of
the result on Wednesday morning in
itself made business of thousands Of
tons that up to that moment existed
only in the form of conditional orders
on paper. On Wednesday, though
right away was given to election re-
turns, we have advices from various
sources that some buyers found time
10 write orders, and that some efforts
to get the prices quoted IN the week
preceding election were unavailing.
1t viii take little time for buyers
and sellers to find out just where thev
are: but it can be said that sellers
ideas are today Thursday from 81 to

governed by pool arrangements, and
on BeSsemer pig the market is 80
cents in advance of the basis of last

ported at Sl2 in the valleys, and sell
lers whose asking price was Sl2 last

pectation OF any sensational advance
In Bessemer, but it is generally con-
ceded that under today's conditions

the present basis for coke and ore.
and perhaps a trif1e more. The
advance in southern foundry iron is
maintained. Notwithstanding that it
made temporary diversions Of bust
ness to Northern furnaces in certain
districts, notably at Chicago. The
largest southern producer, having
order books well filed, continues to
hold off from closely competitive mar
kets- Structural material has been
particularly active in the Chicago,
and were the season spring instead OF
late fall, boom in that end Of the
market would be inevitable Already
there is word that rolling mills are
starting up in idle departments, be-
cause first shipments on certain con-
ditional contracts are to be made in
the first half of November, SO that

revival at the very next pay day.
Bar iron manufacturers are getting
together promptly after election and
the establishment Of the national
list Of extras adopted year ago is
probable, together with a partial
restoration, at least, Of the SO ton
taken from the association price three
weeks ago. Car business is expected
to develop promptly and good ton
mage in bars is looked for, after the
starveling demand of the past five
months.-Iron Trade Review.

The appointment Of a Receiver for
the Paper Nay Be Delayed
Some Months.

D. r. Hite has returned from Ar
kansas where he secured the postpone
ment Of the appointment of a receiver
for the Topeka Capital
Mr.. Hite says that no receiver viii
be appointed until a formal decree
can be taken and after that is fled the
case win at once be taken before
Judge Caldwell at St. Louis and upon
his action VIII rest the question Of
whether a receiver viii be appointed
or not. He says that they do not claim
that an appeal could be taken from
the order of Judge Williams for a re-
ceiver we're it not for the fact that be-
fore making the order the judge decid-
ed several points, one of them being
the question of the transfer of the
stock from Major Hudson to the To-
peka Capital company.
If Mr.. Hite's intentions are follow
ed the appointment of a receiver may
be delayed several months.
IT is reported that Ed Greer of the
Winfield Courier still has his eye on
the paper and that ne hopes to buy
the property from John r.. AIulvane.
He would also like to be the receiver if
one is appointed.

A LOST oPPORTUNITY.
Senator PETER Thinks the Populists

From Our Special Correspondent.
Washington May 5.-Senator PETER
thinks that the Popuist party lost
great opportunity when it placed the
date for its convention after the other
parties.
If It had set the date for its conven-
ton first. framed a platform free from

Now. the senator thinks. the party is
1n the position. the undigni6ed posi-
ton, OF hanging around like q hungry

imagine that the Populists have not
learned anything. that they viii be as
nutre as when they advocated the sub
treasury and like schemes. and the
party he thinks has lost momentum by
not early disabusing the people Of this
Impression
But notwithstanding this Senator
Pefier believes the Populists win be
second in the race and he makes that
prediction. To the State Journal cor
respondent he said.
THE letter to Senator Wolcott and
the speech of his colleague Senator
Teller dtly represent the factions among
silver Republicans-those that regard
party fealty as the acme Of patriotism
and those who esteem their country
Rnc their fellow men as of greater inn
portance and worth more than the in
terests of any party.

There were plenty of tramps in town
