WATERS GOES TO ST. LOUIS
To Confer With D. B. Robinson on
Railroad Case.

Captain Joe Waters left this after
noon for st. Louis where he will meet
a committee of the city fathers of Au-
gusta. Butler county, at the union de-
pot in that city tomorrow. Captain
Waters and the committee will call
upon President D. B. Robinson and
other officials of the ST. Louis & San
Francisco railway tomorrow afternoon
for the purpose of effecting, if possible
a compromise in the case of the city of
Augusta against the Frisco road.
In 1879 the city of Augusta voted
way then a branch of the Frisco, sub
Ject to certain terms and conditions.
These terms and conditions, it is said
were never adhered to by the railway,
and the city authorities in turn refused
to comply with their part of the con-
tract The railway company then
brought suit against the city and Sc
cured judgment, but the city immed-
lately retaliated by bringing suit
against the company to recover the
value of the bonds and interest
When the new management took hold
OF the Frisco the officials expressed
themselves as willing to COMPROMISE
On receiving this information a COM
mittee consisting of Mayor Skaer, City
Clerk White and Councilmen Duncan,
Stafford and Weidlin were appointed to
confer with the officials, and it is
thought that a satisfactory arrange
ment will be reached

TODAY's MARKET REPORT.
Furnished by the Associated Press to
the State Journal.

Chicago, Sept. 2.-The rise in the
stock market had a good effect on
wheat this morning and opening pric-
es for December were Nc higher at
5SA 058kc Liverpool cables came
lower, rejecting the decline here yes
terday, but Berlin was higher. The
northwest receipts were less than half
as large as last years but this was
said to be due to a blockade in great
northern. A prospective big increase
in the visible supply caused December
to ease off to 5S5s Q58%c.
CORN-Corn was quiet but inclined
to firmness on the low temperatures in
the northwest. May opened unchang-
ed at 243zc and advanced to 247s@25c.
OATS-Oats also displayed hrmness,
in sympathy with corn. May opened
unchanged at 1870 and held steady on
that figure.
PROVISIONS Though having a
lower live stock market to contend
with, were high at the opening. Good
support advanced prices as the session
wore on. January pork opened Sc
higher at s6.S715 and advanced to
Sc. 921k; January lard SC higher at S3-75;
January ribs opened unchanged at
3.45 advancing to $3.4712.

convention resumed its session at II
o'clock this morning in Leinster hall
with every prospect of a lively day
before the delegates. There We're ru-
1nors of war on every side and little
prospect of harmony which the con-
VentiOn was organized to bring about
Shortly after the convention had been
called to order the Rev. Father Flynn
moved the appointment of a committee
of arbitration, to be composed of home
and foreign delegates with inStruc-
tions to draft rules and a platform to
unite all the factions of the Irish party.
The motion was greeted with enthuSi-
assn. Mr.. T. P O'COnnOr, NJ P, then
took the fioOOr and his elOquence
declared that the only way to kill dis
sension was to crush it by the United
determination of angry people" and
urged the convention to give the Irish
leaders means of uniting the Parnel-
GteS with the Irish party He appeal
ed to the delegates to uphold cOnSu-
tutiOnal methods which he added if
abandoned, meant return to the use
of dynamite. The discussion of Father
EIynn's resolution which was the first
test of strength between the DillOnites
and HealyiteS was long and bitter and
the resolution was finally withdrawn in
the interest of harmony.
Later the convention adopted resO-
1utiOns recording its conviction that it
was of the first Importance to national
lie the representatives in parliament
should be reunited in one home rule
party in which every supporter of that
policy would be cordially received and
treated according to his capacity to
render service TO the common cause.

The Republican county central com

no circumstances would he make two
speeches in one day. The arrange
ments for the Hamilton hall meeting
were accordingly declared off. A meet

HORSE MEAT NOT PACKED.
But Horses are Killed and Sold fo1
Fresh Meat in Antwerp.

Washington, Sept. ACCORDING to
United States Consul Johnson at Ant
werp, there is no truth in the story
which so excited American meat pack
ers to the effect that broken down Eng
lish omnibus horses are killed and
packed at Antwerp as canned beef I'M
der American labels.
The consul reports to the state de-
partment that he has made most care
full inquiry and finds that while the
English omnibus hacks do come to
Antwerp in large numbers, they are
slaughtered and sold for fresh meat
and are not hacked.

Chicago: Wheat shippers who ex-
pected to get some wheat on deliveries
yesterday Jared poorly. There is an
idea in some circles that shippers will
not help any export business until
there is more or less wheat let out On
September contracts. Contracts turn
out smaller than expected. Lard de-
creases over $4,000 tierces; pork 5000
barrels; ribs over 100000 pounds.
Chicago: Liverpool cables are IL PEN
ny lower. This is natural and line
with our decline of yesterday and do
not look for anything new in the wheat
situation.

COLORED CONVENTIONS.
Negroes Have Split on the Question
of the 'TNegro in Politics"

The state convention of coIored men
which is to be held in this city to-
morrow will meet at the hall of FIT. Pill
low post, near Fourth and Kansas ave-
nue..
This is the Republican branch Of the
colored people and while it is called for
the purpose of considering the future
of the Negro in politics. it is under
stood that whatever action taken will
be in line with the Republican party.
At the same time a similar convention
will be held at EmpOria, but it will be
of a different complexion. 1t is the
POpulist adjunct in Kansas and the act
ion taken in the EmpOria convention
will probably be in line with Populist
principles.
