STOCK EXCHANGE CLOSES.


A'AAN ~ AANtbN
CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-THE speculative deal
in the Diamond Match and New York
Biscuit stock has come to an end, The
Moore Brothers have failed. The greatest
speculation ever known in Chicago has
eliminated in the failure Of the people
who were in the deal. The Chicago Stock
Exchange adjourned at 10 o'clock this
morning for an indefinite period. This
action VAS decided upon at "a meeting held
last evening, at which were present the
members of the Stock Exchange govern
ing command and a number of prominent
capitalists. 1t was decided that to prevent
IA great slaughter Of values the exchange
should be closed.
This meeting was assembled informally
after the announcement which was made
late in the afternoon by James II. Moore
that margin calls no longer could be met.
That announcement was made to n few of
the men most heavily interested, and it
was thought best TO call a meeting to dis
cuss the situation. Those who assembled
discussed the best means for restoring
confidence, after the shock which would
be given to speculative circles by the an
nouncement of the failure, and it was the
general opinion that it would be the wisest
possible move TO close the Stock Exchange
for a period.
1t is thought that the adjournment will
last but a few days, and that matters can
within that time be Strengthened out in a
way that will make the losses as easy as
possible to bear.
The speculative deal of which the failure
is the elimination is by all odds the most
important in the history of the Chicago
Stock Exchange affairs. 1t begun early
in this year. The stock of the Diamond
Match company had been selling all along
at 1870, but dropped during a general de
cline to ll5.
From then the rise started which is the
most remarkable in the history of the Elk
change, A strong group of spectators,
headed by James H. Moore and William
H. Moore, began buying the stock. 1t
moved up with scarcely IA hclt. In time
came the n that the Dia-
mond Match company had closed a con-
tract with the French government
under which the patents and the
machines controlled by the Diamond
Match company were to be sold TO the
French government for a royalty of 500,
600 "A year.
Following the announcement of the
closing of the French contract the stock
advanced with great rapidity, until tsold
up ms high as 248. Then it began to de-
cline.

summoned worm OF strikers.

BEREA, o., Aug. AT 1 o'clock in the
morning the people of this place were
awakened by a violent explosion. Upon
investigation it was found that the house
of Charles A. Seibert, a grocer, had been
partly wrecked by dynamite, a charge OF
which had been placed under the house by
some unknown person. Fortunately none
of the inmates of the house were injured.
Seibert did not sympathize with the quar-.
rymen in their late strike and refused
many Of them credit, 1t is generally be-
lieved that the dynamite was placed under
the house by strikers.

Ii nenroaches England.

LONDON, Aug. THE Times this morn
ing has an article regarding Ii Hung
Changes views and the object Of his mis-
sion 10 England The Chinese statesman
considers, this article says, that England
could, if she had chosen, have prevented
China's disastrous war with Japan, He
therefore reproaches England with wan
ing friendship and contends that China
was taken by surprise when entirely un-
prepared for war. He now desires, as an
evidence Of sympathy, that England
should concedc to China the right to make
a substantial addition to the duties charge
under the treaty between them upon
goods entering Chinese ports.

THE RESULT.

the Republicans Of Schuylkiu county, in
convention assembled, have again named
their staudard-bearcrs and declared the
party's position on the issues of the campaign.
The platform is a model one, 1t is brief and
concise, and echoes in no uncertain tones the
sentiment of the Republican masses favorable
DO the st. Louis platform. Sound money and
protection will be the battle cry Of the Re-
publican hosts for the present campaign. Our
ranks will be reinforced by hundreds of
Democrats who repudiate the Chicago plat
form as direct departure from the beaten path
of the Democratic party.
American interests may safely be entrusted
to a party that supports and declares in
favor of protection for home industries and
sound money. While there arc q few
Republicans in the county tainted with the
free coinage of silver idea who naturally
thmk the declaration for the gold standard
unwise and impolitic, yet the universal
sentiment is the other way. 1t was truly a
sound money convention, and amy other
