IS VERY NOISY.
LoUsIANA,s REPUBLICAN STATE
CONVENTION.
Fusion Ticket Put Up BY the Sugar
Planters Endorsed, Making Three
Conventions Which Have De-
cIared in Its Favor.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 30.-The Republic
can state nominating committee held its
second days session today and at late
hour tonight is still in session and very
noisy. Kellogg's men, who are for Reed,
have been losing ground all day. The
business men in New Orleans, the sugar
planters, when it became evident last
night that the money Kellogg is alleged
, to have used would carry the convention
for Reed, got together quietly and such
pressure was brought to bear in behalf
OF the Mckinley men, under Captain a.
T. Wimberly, who has refused to use
money in the fight, that a caucus of all
II was decided to send two Mckinley
delegates at large and two Reed men to
st. Louis. There is little doubht but
that the decision of the caucus will hold
and that Henry Demas and j. NJ. Vance
Will be the Mckinley delegates and AL
bert Leonard and Andrew Hero the Reed
men.
No resolutions referring to the presi-
Dental candidates will be passed by the
convention This will give Mckinley a
large majority of the delegates from this
state. Four have already been elected.
Governor Yarmouth says two will go
from his district. a. 7. Wimberly and
Richard Sims have an easy fight in the
Second district and both are enthusiastic
Mckinley men. This makes ten Of the
sixteen delegates to be elected who will
be for Mckinley.
A fight was made in the convention on
A. Cage, who is a candidate for re-elec-
ton as chairman Of the state central COM
mittee and who is a Mckinley man. The
excitement rose to such a height that
chairs were overturned. Chairman Guic-
jard was thrust from his place on the plat
form, delegates knocked down and tram
pied under foot, and the utmost confus-
ion reigned. The fight against Cage was
not successful.
At midnight the convention settled down
to work and the first important move
was accomplished. The fusion ticket put
making three conventions which have
declared in its favor. The nomination of
presidential delegates was taken up. Kel-
logg, who has been handling Reed
cause here was first nominated and a
move was made to elect him by accla-
nation, but this failed and it was de-
cided to first make all the nominations
before taking a vote.

THE PHOTOGRAPHIC RIFLE.

The American NimrOd will soon be
able to decide to nicely whether his
gun has failed him or not, says a for
eign correspondent. He will be able to
tell at a glance when he has shot e.
strolling COW instead of the expected
bear, or, peTchance, riddled one Of his
hunting friends or passerby with
buckshOt.
This he will do by simply removing
from the gun barrel a small photo
graphic apparatus affixed to it. The
German emperor recently introduced
the Photographic rife" among ms
royal guests at Remington prairie. IL
proved to be an immense success in
deer stalking. In this form Of hunting
the sportsman matches the keeneSt
power of human patience, endurance
and skill against the marvellous deten-
sive instincts Of the game
The swift antlered beauties are more
frequently wounded than killed out
right by a ball. In that condition they
run many miles, with the hounds and
huntsmen often following, and even
then may. escape. The new apparatus
adopted by the kaiser shows exactly
where the shot took effect, and thus
enables the hunter to determine wheth-
er or not it will pay to follow up the
game.
The naked eye may deceive the hun
ter. who is usually trembling with ex-
cftement. But as the axis Of the gun
camera always corresponds with the
''sight" it must necessarily reflect the
exact spot where the bullet is aimed
The camera opens the moment when
the "sight" is taken and closes with
the picture fixed in it a fraction Of O
section before the firing Of the shot
The device is light and easily detach-
able. The hunters BREAST pocket
serves as a dark room for the records
of his skill.

Meeting of the Presidents of the
Eleven Great Conranies

Meeting OF the Presidents of the
Eleven Great COmranies
NEW YORK. Jan. SO.-The alI-ab-
sorbing topic Of interest in Wall street
today was the adjourned meeting Of
the presidents of the eleven great an
thracite mining and carrying COM
Danies. The session today was begun
with a full attendance.
The committee presented its report
and a great deal Of sduirming was
done by officials of lines unfavorably
affected by the figures presented and
considerable controversy resulted over
the question of adopting the report.
No positive news from the conference
was received in the street during bust
ness hours. The meeting adjourned to g.
night and it was then announced,
however that an agreement had been
reached regarding the division of ton
mage between the respective compan-
les. This COMPACT was not signed,
but adopted by votes. 1t goes into eff
feet from February 1. 1895. until Jan
uary 1. 1897. After the expiration of
this period the agreement will con-
tinue operative subject to the right of
any interest on thirty days notice to
challenge a revision.
A standing committee was appointed
consisting of President Thomas. of the
Erie; Maxwell of the New Jersey Cen
trail; Wilbur, of the Lehigh Valley;
Harris, Of the Reading, and Walters.
of the Delaware, Susquehanna &
Schuylkill. This committee is charged
with the adjustment of any difficulties
that may arise during the tendency
of the agreement.
The Importance Of this agreement be-
tween the interests conducting the
great anthracite industry to the pub
lie at large can hardly be overesti-
mated. The sales agents of the re-
spective companies will meet tomorrow
TO discuss the question of production
and prices for February. 1t is ex-
pected that advances of from 10 to %
cents per ton will be ordered from
actual ruling figures. This viii put
stove coal, to the basis Of $3.50, other
sizes in proportion. as against the last
official circular price of s3.15 per ton.
The high price was not actually real
lied, business being done at from so
to Is cents below the nominally quoted
figures

Aug-ustin NJ. Newton.

NEW YORK, Jan. 3O.-Augustin M.
Newton. third son of the late Major
General John NJ. Newton, who was
one of the most distinguished engi-
neers of the age, died at the Hudson
street hospital tonight. He had taken
an overdose Of choral.
Mr.. Newton was one of the engi-
neers' who built the Harlem river
speedway After thousands of dollars
had been spent by the city upon this
great undertaking it was discovered
that the greater part of the work had
to be done over again. The park board
had to appoint experts to go over the
work as a great part OF the built road
way seemed to be sliding into the river.
The experts, however decided that the
contractors could not be held respon-
sible for the failure of the crib work
to hold its place, as the crib filing did
not come UP to the requirements of
the specifications. This preyed a great
deal on Mr.. Newton's mind and tended
in a large measure to make him ner-
vous. A friend of the family said last
night that owing to excess of work Mr..
Newton was in the habit of taking mild
doses of choral for his nerves. He had
no doubt taken an overdose that caus-
ed death.

pressed excitement was noted in Chris
tan Endeavor circles today as the re-
suit Of the news that Bishop Arnett
of Ohio, who is here to attend the
Christian Endeavor day rally had been
refused admittance to three of Bos-
tons leading hotels on account of his
color, and vigorous denunciation of the
management of the hotels in question
was heard on every hand.
Bishop Arnett was besieged with
callers and although he deplored the
stir that had been made about the
matter, those with whom he is asso-
ciated did not hesitate to express to
him their indignation at the humilia-
ton to which he had been subjected
Among the visitors was Archibald M.
Howe, president of the MiddleseX Uni
tartan club, who was earnest in his
protest against the injustices reported
to have been done to Bishop Arnett.
There was special significance in Mr.
Howe's visit, as the club, of which he
is president, has been in the habit Of
meeting at one of the hotels at which
Bishop Arnett was refused entertain
ment last night Mr.. Howe announced
his intention Of thoroughly investigat-
ing the circumstances and states that

deciding where its next meeting shall
be held II is probable that action will
be taken in reference to the reported
insult to the bishop at the big Chris

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-The presi-
dent today sent to congress, in accord
ance with the requirement of the stat
utes, the Commercial relations" of the
United States for the years 1884 and

consular officers on the commerce and

Included with the reports is an intro

viVed after being abandoned in 1880.

statistics to compile it, because of be-
ing overwhelmed with other work.
secretary Olney says the main object
of this review is to set forth the special
conditions of trade in the various coun-
tries which seem to offer favorable en-
enlargement for the introduction of
our products, in order that the hind
RANGES to, as well as to the opportu-
mites for, the expansion of Dur COM
merce may be understood. The recent
decrease in the percentage of export of
manufactured articles as compared
win llle toUdl VI our exports seems 10
indicate that the United States is on
the threshold of a great development
of this important branch Of interna-
tiOnal trade, and the conclusion arriv-
ed at IS that what is most needed to
hasten the development is energetica-
ton on the part of our manufacturers
and exporters after careful study of
the special requirements of nations to
whom they wish to secure as custom
ers. The basis for such study, it is
hoped, will be found in the full and
comprehensive reports which 1 have
the honor to lay before you.
In conclusion the secretary suggests
that congress authorize the printing of
larger editions of these reports in view
Of the heavy demand from merchants.

FROM OLD MADRID.

LONDON. Jan. SO.-A dispatch to
the Standard from Madrid says:
The papers here protest energeticalIy
against the United States senate COM
mittee's attitude on the Cuban ques-
ton. They declare that the insurgents
have fulfilled none of the requisites
by international law or usage for the
recognition Of belligerency. The gov
eminent organs, with a view to pacify-
ing the public irritation, point out that
President Cleveland, his ministers and
the federal authorities, so far have pre-
$ - a peIIe.t4y quiet and friendly
attitude toward Spain, contrasting
strongly with the popular sympathy
and assistance the insurgents have
obtained from the American people.
