Bradstreet's Report.

New York, Jnne 5.-Bradstreets
says: There is little or no effort to
push business at period of so much
uncertainty as to the precise terms Of
the financial planks to be adopted by
the great political parties in national
convention. The general merchandise
movement continues as dull and con-
servative as heretofore, retailers, with
few exceptions, buying only for imme-
diate necessities. Mercantile collec-
tions continue slow and unsatisfactory,
and there is no gain in the cotton.
woolen goods, iron or steel industries.
Western speculators are buying wool
above a parity with prices offering
from the East. There is little likeli-
hood of higher prices for wool while so
much machinery is idle. Nearly all
branches of drygoods are somewhat de-
pressed. Cotton goods are below a
parity with raw material. General
trade in Central and Western states
remains quiet.

Many Union Fishermen Decide to Leave
Astoria.
Astoria, Or, June 15.-It was re.
ported this morping that early in the
day the fishermen of the Scandinavian
Packing Company bad resolved to go
out upon the offer made by that eom-
pany. In the afternoon, after the
meeting of the Fishermen's Union, held
in Fishers hall, the same man reported
that the Scandinavian men had recon
sidered their action and expressed a
determination to stand by the ruling of
the union. At the meeting of the
union it was decided that, after the
10th inst, should it transpire that the
csnnerymen still refuse to pay cents,
all those fishermen who could possibly
do so should leave town and seek other
employment. About thirty of the men
left ON the San Francisco steamer yes
terday morning, and about as many
more left for Portland on the steamer
last evening. The following resolu-
tion was unanimously passed at the
Columbia River Fishermen's Protective
Union meeting in the afternoon:
Resolved, That we. the members of
the Columbia River Fishermen's Pro-
tectiye Union, pledge ourselves to de-
liver to our respective canneries all the
salmon we catch at cents per pound
provided, however. that said canneries
are to pay two thirds when delivered
(if desired), the balance to be deducted
until the debts are paid, and, If not
paid at the end of the season at the
rate mentioned, the nets of member:
still owing shall be stored at such can
neries as security until next Spring
Resolved, Farther, that we, til,
members of this organization, pledge
ourselves to carry this resolution int
practical effect, as we believe it to b.
for the best interests of both fishermen
and Gamers.

THE RISING IN CRETE
RUssIAs ENERGETIC ATTITUDE
Count Goioschowsky Explains the For
eign Policy of the Governments
Reforms In Crete.

Boston, June 12.--William Graham,
a big, strapping policeman Of the South
end precinct, is the hero of the hour in
Boston. He was walking along Wash
ingtoE street, off duty at the time,
whea fire broke out in five-story
block, and his presence Of mind and
bravery saved the lives of twenty young
women.
Plumbers at work on the third floor
had carelessly left lighted candle
close to the woodwork, and the fire thus
started spread with great rapidity.
There were nearly forty men and
women employed in Woods printing
office and their escape by way Of the
stairs was entirely cut off by the
flames. They crowded around the
windows ON the Washington street end.
Their only chance to escape appeared
10 be to jump to the ground, sixty feet
below, the firemen not having arrived.
Then it was that Graham rushed
Dinto the adjoining building and going
to the third floor, climbed out upon
the broad stone sill of the window
nearest the burning building. That
brought him to within a few feet of
the windows filled with frantic women.
He told them to creep along the sill
and he would rescue them. 1t required
large amount of courage to hang
over the street with only chance Of
footing of about three inches of wet
stone trimming, but they yentured one
at time and the strong arm of Graham
soon was upon them and he lifted
them down into place of safety. In
this manner nearly twenty made their
escape before the firemen arrived, and
the crowd set up cheer.

proved by the Political Uncertainty
Failures Of the Week.
New York. June 15.-R. g. Dun q
Co. S weekly review of trade says:
Speculative reaction has not in the
least changed the business outlook.
The fictitious prices made for wheat
and cotton meant no good except for in
dividuals, and the change to prices
more nearly in accord with actual rela-
tions of demand to supply only con-
forms to conditions which have been
known for months.
The government report as to wheat
indicated much smaller yield than
anybody really expected, but that has
become so much the rule that the report
had no real influence, and the prin-
caused by large sales in anticipation of
the report. which seemed to be thor
oughly known in advance to some
speoulators. While Atlantic exports
for the week were ,5SS, 1853 bushels,
-four included, against only 500, $50
last year, the comparison is obviously
exceptional and significant, while the
receipts at western ports of 2,429, 345
bushels, against 1,386,230 last year,
show persistency of conditions which
have goverened the movement during
the whole year,
Sales of wool in two weeks of June
have been only 5,823, 500 pounds,
against 10, 561,9 ,965 last year, and no

Issue an Address.
The Republican Executive Commit
tee last night, through Chairman New
ell Sanders, issued the following:
To the Republican voters of Tennessee.
Your State Executive Committee
have thoughtit their duty to advise you
about your nominations for members
of the Legislature.
This must not be considered person al
for almost a new legislature is elected
each time and no nominations have
yet been made.
The popular idea that all laws are
framed with honest purpose and for
the general good of the people is de-
lusion.
Many members are honest and capa-
BILE, but they divide more or less on ac-
count of differences of opinion and po
litical affiliation. 1t then becomes
easy for comparatively small number
of members, managed by parties W ho
take contracts to control legislation. to
turn almost any vote one way or the
other.
By bribery, direct and indirect, by
the influence of strong over weak minds
and by the debauchery of members,
good laws are defeated, bad laws pass.
ed, private legislation secured and out,
rageous expenses incurred.
The responsibility of government is
always on the dominant party. Under
Democratic rule our legislatures have
been getting worse until the leading
newspapers of the State have said that
the last was the most corrupt and ex.
travagant of all. The people expect
no reform from that source. They
will elect Republican legislature
when we show ourselves worthy of the
trust by nominating no unworthy mau
for Representative or Senator.
1t makes no difference what occupa-
tion or walk in life from which a man
is taken, but it is absolutely necessary
that he have good common sense, ex.
perience in affairs and plain honesty.
| Wholesome law is simply the result of
common sense applied to the problems
of government. In these days govern
ment pertains to the practical affairs
of life, and the wider range of expert.
ence man has the better legislator he
will be. But above all things a man
for such place should be honest.
No country can escape its part of
this responsibility. The vote of single
member often turns the scale.
Evil designing persons are trying to
secure tho nominations of men whom
they can control. Beware of outside
influences.
Special attention should be given to
the Senate, because, on account of the
small number of members, it is easier
to control.
It is the desire of this committee that
this address shall be read in every con-
vention where nominations for mem
bers of the legislature are made, and
tnat all newspapers continue TO urge
the importance of this matter.
Relying on your patriotism and judg'
ment for the nomination of the proper
kind of candidates, we are, very re-
spectfully, yours,
