GIGANTIC COMBINATION.
The Western Union Said to Control
the Bell Telephone Company.

BOSTON, Ag. 21.-The Commercial
Bulletin" will say tomorrow regarding
Western Union and Bell Telephone:
We understand upon the best authority
that the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany controls at present the Bell Tele-
phone Company. The Importance of this
control will at once appear to every one
who appreciates how they have come
into competition during recent years.
The Western Union dividends had be-
come threatened through competition
OF the telephone, but it has long been
fully arranged plan for the Western
Union to secure control of the telephone
company. The two together can prob
ably make it very warm for the Postal
Telegraph Company or the final outcome
may be combination of all three
j. Pierrepont Morgan has been the
largest purchaser of Bell Telephone
stock at auction here but the manner Of
purchase has been very cleverly con-
cealed. Western Union stock has ruled
weak on the New York Stock Exchange
during the past few days, but this
weakness is thought to be part of the
programme of those conducting this gi-
gantic deal. The combination of these
two concerns will mean an almost inn
pregnable monopoly of both the tele-
graph and telephone business in the
same hands

CANTON SILVER CLUBS.
INVESTIGATION OF STATEMENTS
CONCERNING THEM.
A Statement Which Badly Punctures
the Extravagant Claims
Made for Them.

CANTON (O), Aug. 21-A dispatch is
being widely circulated in the Western,
Central and Southern States which con-
tains an alleged letter from Canton,
purporting to have been written in an
swer to some one who asks if it is true
that Canton Democrats have formed g.
large Bryan Silver Club which contains
many Republican members. The letter
in question says:
''It is true that we have in Canton
a Central Silver Club with member
ship of over 600 and three ward silver
clubs with a large membership, but just
what it is 1 am unable to say; and also
in the other wards there will also be
organized silver clubs. The Central
Club has an eminent Republican for
President.
Unless the tide turns Mckinley will
not carry his ward, nor his city, nor his
Congressional District, and even there
is great probability of Mckinley losing
the State
This letter has caused more than 200
letters to be sent to the Republican
Committee here asking if the state
ments made in it are true. Some Of
these letters have come to Major Nc
Kinley. Tonight one of the leading
Republicans of the county, Hon. Hiram
Doll, made a statement which is Off
cially approved and indorsed by the
Chairman of the Republican Commit
tee. Mr.. Doll says: 1.-The Silver Club in
Canton is composed of Populists and
Democrats, and the leading Democrats
of the city are not in it. The exception
mentioned as President, Colonel Holla-
way, was one of the most enthusiastic
Mckinley men in the city and during
the greatest jollification meetings here
after the st. Louis Convention was at
the head of each procession and es-
corted the delegates to Governor Nc
Kinley'S residence. He was a candi-
date for the Presidency of the Mckinley
Club but failed of election. Immediate
ly after that he turned to the opposi-
ton.
THE silver club at it's organization
was only claimed to have a membership
of 200 to 250 upon the statements of it's
officers to the press. When it is re-
lrembered that Stark County has
population of nearly 100000 and this
city nearly 10000, the magnitude of
the club does not appear very great
comparatively speaking. A sound
this city, composed largely of Demo-
Gratis as well as Republicans, signed
800 members the night of organization.
The same night the Mckinley March
ing Club was organized with Loco
members. A poll of the precinct that
Major Mckinley has lived in since his
return from Columbus, which has al
ways been a Democratic precinct, out
of $40 voters polled, shows Mckinley
190, Bryan $50, a Republican gain over
the combined Bryan vote. including
Populists and Democrats of IA in sin
gle precinct. The precinct in which
Major Mckinley lived before he went
to Columbus is two to one for McKin-
ley
Major Mckinley looked over some
proof sheets of his letter of acceptance
to-day and spent several hours in work
upon speeches which he is to make
Saturday and Monday.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE.
POLITICAL EVENTS DO NOT IN
FLUENCE PROSPECTS.
Speculation Advances Wheat, Corn
and Cotton Through Reports of
Injury to Crops.

NEW YORK, Aug. Pr. G. Dun &
Co. will say tomorrow in their weekly
review of trade: Failures for the week
hayee been 2SO in the United States
against ODD last year and Al in Canada
against 43 last year.
Political events of the week had no
definite influence upon business pros
poets, for the phenomenal variations in
sterling exchange and the beginning of
imports of gold, although following the
great meeting in Madison Square Gar
den on Tuesday may be fairly attri-
buted to the accommodating excess of
merchandise exports over imports, to
which attention has been repeatedly
called. Exports from New York for the
past two weeks have been 20 per cent
larger and imports 20 per cent smaller
than last year. The rapid movement of
grain and the unusually early market
for cotton tends strongly to aid the
banking syndicate, which has under
taken to regulate foreign exchange.
Withdrawals of money to the interior
are rather large and commercial loans
are hard to place and this difficulty
checks many new enterprises and busi-
ness in many departments. Bank clear
less than last year. Railroad earnings
are not as good as might be expected for
the first half of August, exceeding those
of last year by only 3.4 per cent.
Speculation has advanced wheat over
1 cent during the week, corn a small
fraction, and cotton five eighths, the
principal motive power being reports of
injury to growing crops. The boot and
of past orders, excepting in women's
grain and buff shoes, where there are
still orders for some weeks to come,
while others are constantly received, but
in other branches the new business is
light. Prices are a shade lower.
Leather is weaker, with small demand,
although restricted supplies have caused
a share of advancing in some kinds
Hides at Chicago averaged more than 3
per cent lower for the week against the
fall in the past five weeks, having aver
q ged about 25 per cent.
The iron and steel manufacture has
continued depressed, and Bessemer pig
has sold at SO 40 at Pittsburg, while
Southern No. / is offered at prices
equivalent to SO at New York, and
nearly all finished products are being
sold below the current quotations. There
is rapid curtailment of production, but
in spite of this the supply of finished
product appears to greatly exceed the
demand for that. The one bright spot
is a sale of 5000 tons of steel rails to
Japan for refitting railways in that
country. which makes an aggregate of
A, 900 tons exported during the year.
Nothing encouraging can yet be said
regarding the woolen manufacture, and
the demand for goods, even at recent
reductions, Is still disappointingly small
A heavy auction sale of cotton goods
brought prices which were counted
quite encouraging, and the current de-
mand is fairly maintained, although the
mills are not inclined to make large
contracts for the future, in view of the
rise in the raw material. In general, the
working force in the textile branches
does not appear to have increased.

THE ANNUAL BANQUET.
n. Depew Presides and the
English Guests Speak.

SARATOGA On. ", Aug. 21.-The
social side of the annual conference of
the American Bar Association found
most auspicious close in the nineteenth
annual banquet held this evening in the
ballroom of the Grand Union Hotel, and
which was attended by go members of
the legal fraternity. From o'clock un-
til s o'clock reception was held in the
reception room of the hotel, where Lord
Russell, Lord Chief Justice of England;
Sir Frank Lockwood and Montague
Crackenthorpe received guests of the
evening.
At O'Clock Lord Russell and Hon.
Chauncey M. Depew of New York, un-
der the leadership of Francis Rawley of
Philadelphia, Treasurer of the Bar AS
sociation, proceeded to the ballroom of
the hotel, where the banquet was
served At the guests tables were
seated Chauncey M. Depew, who pre-
sided; at his right Lord Russell, and at
his left United States Supreme Court
Justice Peckham and President of the
Bar Association James NJ. Woolworth
of Omaha.
At the close of the dinner Mr.. Depew
in few well-chosen words introduced
Lord Russell as the guest of the even
ing, and his lordship in brief address
proved that he was equally as well at
home as an after-dinner speaker as
upon the bench.
The toast, THE Bar Association" was
responded to by President James M.
Woolworth of Omaha. Sir Frank Lock-
wood of England, the peer of after-din-
ner speakers of that country, was next
introduced, and in an address which
abounded with humor and wit capti-
waited his guests. His toast was con-
fined to the English bar. and most ably
did the distinguished jurist respond for
it. Morefield Storey of Boston then
spoke as the retiring President. To
James M. Beck of Philadelphia was ac-
corded the honor of speaking for the
junior bar. The last speaker of the
evening was Bourke Cochran.
