STOCKS MUCH STRONGER.
Improvement of Money Market on Ae

Improvement of Money Market on Ac-
count of McKiniey's Speech.
New York. June 30.-Stocks during tile
first hour of business were strong and high
er. owing to further purchases for foreign
account. London bought fully 5000 shares
of st. Pau! and several thousand shares of
Louisville and Nashville and other issues
with an international market. This foreign
buying encourag ged local traders To MAKE
new ventures on the hull side. and it also
forced the smaller shorts tO cover. The im-
provemeDt was due in great measure to
Major McKinley's forcible utterances on
the money question to the notification COM
mittee yesterday. This. so foreign bank
ers say. has made very favorable impress
sion abroad.
The early improvement ranged from IA
to a per cent. Sugar rose to IL, Bur
lington and Quincy. 1-S to 73 5-S; North
west, Ia to 1o1 1-2; Chicago Gas, To
So; Colorado Fuel. 1 TO % L.: Louisville
and Nashville. 1-S to 40; Pacific Mail, 1
1-4a3-4 per cent. Later on Tobacco sud-
denly broke Ia to 81 1-2. and this un-
settled the entire list. Sugar receded to
l09 "a and Omaha to 397-S At IL
O'Clock. however, the market was firm and
on tile advance once more.
London buying was the feature Of the trad
ing during the past hour. The foreigners, it
Is estimated, bought between 10000 and
10000 shares this morning, principally
st. Paul and Louisville & Nashville. Uuder
this process Louisville & Nashville advanced
to 40 3-s, st. Paul to 10 "a, Atchisoa to
13 34. Burlington s. Quincy to 73 7-S, and
Rock Island to 81 1-s. In the industrials
Chicago Gas moved up to 64 and Sugar to

MCKINLEY AND THE KING HTS

Chef Arthur Says the Order Is Not
Prejudiced Against Nominee.
Chicago, June 80. "A special from Kansas
City says:
P. N. Arthur, chief OF the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers, is stopping in the
city en- route to his home in Cleveland.
Asked what effect the statement of Master
Workman Sovereign of the Knights OF
Labor, that Mckinley will be opposed by the
laboring men, would have in the Presiden-
tial ca mpaign, he said:
speaking for myself. will say that Mr..
Sovereign's statement will have no notice
able effect in the election. His statement
that Mark Hanna is foe of the working
man is untrue"
Are Mr.. Sovereign's sentiments touch
ing Mckinley and expressed from a labor
standpoint, shared by the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Eneineers?'
Certainly not by the organization, and
l am sure they are not by memb bers with
whom have spoken. OF course. there arc
Democrats and silver men in the organiza-
tion. but their opposition to Major McKin-
ley in the election will be from political
principle, and not from prejudice. 1

man OF the national committee, to succeed
william F. Harrity.
Senator Harrls reached the city last
night. He came to Chicago almost di-
rectiy from Atlantic City, where lie has
been resting, in expectation OF the ap-
polntineDt as permanent chairman Of the
convention. Mr.. Harris Is said to be u
splendid pariiameDtariaD, and when pre-
siding over Convention cannot he con-
fused, intimidated or bulldozed. Such
a man, the silver men say, must be the
chairman OF the convention, and they
further assert that Senator Harris just fills
the bill.
The removal of the national headquarters
to Chica go, the silver men declare, will
certainly be accomplished. They say that
as Illinois will be the battle-ground 1t Is
necessary that the directors OF the cam
paign be in close touch with the men on
the field making the fight. The Republi-
cans, the silver men assert, would have
changed their headquarters to Chicago
had they notfeared that the Eastern capi-
talists would have refused to make their
usual contributions to the campaign fund.
This objection. the silver leaders say, will
not hold with the Democrats They do not
expect that they will be able to collect any
campaign money in the East in the event
that the convention declares for free sill
yer, so nothing will be lost financially by
the removal OF the headquarters.

cockRELL NOT AFRAID OF BOLT.

Says Unequivocal Silver Plank VIII
Not Drive Eastern Men Out.
Chicago, June 3u.-Senator Cockrell, OF
Missouri, was among yesterdays arrivals.
He is a delegate to the national Democratic
convention, and is here for the purpose of
attending theI Democratic silver confer
ence.
We shall dominate straight silver
man on an unequivocal silver declaration
In the PLATFORM, he said when asked for
an expression OF his views. II am, Of
course, for Mr.. Bland,' he continued, and
our delegation Is instructed for him; but
II We cannot get him We shall get some
other man who is sound on the currency
question, and Missouri will support him
at the polls.
Il have not, however, devoted myself So
much TO finding Presidential matter as
have to making sure OF a silver ma jority
in the convention. That assured, we shall
have but little difficulty in finding an avail
able man for President
The Senator thinks the financial question
will be made the paramount issue in the
platform, and there will be a square re-
declaration for the mintage of silver On
terms of equality with gold ut the ratio
OF l6 to /. and without awaiting the CO.
operation of other nations He laughs at
Mr.. Whitney's suggestions OF a compromise,
and says it will not be entertained.
He does not believe that an unequivocil
silver plank will drive many Eastern men
out Of the party, and argues that on the con-
trary, it Will bring ma ny votes to the party
that cannot be caugllt in any ether way.
I'VE shall gain immensely in the West -
he said. 'and we shall not lose nthe East
The people have not yet come to a full
realization of the strength uf the silver
movement. 1t will sweep the country at
the polls as 1t has swept the Democratic
party at the primaries"
Senator Cockreil does not consider that
there is any danger OF bolt by the New
York or other Eastern delegates.

Morrison, H., June 30.-Senator Teller.
of Colorado, who has been here visiting
relatives since the st. Louis convention,

question concerning the Presidential candi-
dacy, he said; II am in no sense OF the
word a caIididate.'
But you would not refuse a nomination

..It was not offered" was the answer.
mo man has a right to say he will accept
nr decline an honor before 1t has been Of
ferde."
"You must know your friends have been
working to have you nominated at Chic ago
and with the ultimate hope that all the
silver forces may combine on you before the
end of July"
My good friends are enthusiastic for me,
and 1 have had intimations that a move
| ment is on foot to present my name, but
would prefer not to discuss the matter.
You can readily see that in my position it
would be indelicate for me to express
opinions personal to myself"
Speaking of the approaching Democratic
convention at Chicago, Sen ator Teller
said he sincerely hoped the free silver Dem
! ocrats would not allow the Cleveland ad-
ministratiop and the sound money influences
to snatch from them the victory they have
apparently won.
Il trust also,' the Senator added, 1.-THE
| Chicago convention will nominate q good,
strong man to head the ticket. 1t will
be great step forward in the fight waged
for silver"
| Senator Teller added that his informa-
ton was that free coinage would have
anywhere from 200 to 800 majority.
| attempts will be made to buy and bull
doze," he continued, "butI cannot believe
a single man who goes there for free silver
will be corrupted. 1t is going to be one
OF the greatest and liveliest conventions
ever held, and it would notsurprise me were
it to last week or ten days. 1t will be
perhaps, the equal in interest and enthusi

Portland. Oregon, June. 30.-oregon's
eight delegates to Chicago will very
likely present the name OF Ex-Gov. Pen
noyer for the Presidency. 1t depends upon
his chances for the nomination. II the
fight between Bland, Boies and Sibley
ties up the convention, and there is q
chance to work Pennoyer in as comprO-
mise candidate, it will be done.
The chief fightfor Pennoyer will be made
for the Vice Presidential nomination. The
delegates consider that he stands the hest
chance. and will argue that he is the
natural connecting link with the Popultsts.
He has just been elected mayor Of PoIt-
land by large plurality. which gives him
greater strength. Speaking about the
nomination last evening, Gov. Pennoyer
said:
Il am not seeking the nomination, he
cause there is little chance for a western
man, but there is an opportunity to secure
the Vice Presidential nomination.
Five of the Oregon delegates, who control
the eight through tho unit rule. favor Sibley
of Pennsylvania for first place, if there is no
hope for Pennoyer.
