Mch1nley Y ncertaln.
Louisville, April 14.-Governor Brad
ley Is tonight uppermost for the contest
of the republican instruction for presi-
dent, but there is such strong sentiment
in favor of Mckinley that there is no
telling which one will win out tomor-
row. Bradley had the better organiza-
ton and won the instructions in ma
jority of the state conventions. The big
fight is going to be on temporary organi-
cation. AS there are enough contests

lican nominee for United States senator
in the late contest. The fourth denied

vote of 95 to 70. The eighth was one
sided, as was the eleventh. In the tenth
Bradley won by majority of nine The
ninth went for Mckinley after long de-
lay caused by fight for permanent Or
ganization.

Employees of Grain Warehouses Join the
Dockers.
HAMBURG, Nov. 30.-The great strike
here has extended to the employees of
the grain warehouses. The dockers at
Lehe, Bremerhaven, Geestemunde and
Nordenham have decided to refuse to
unload vessels sent to be discharged at
the lower Weser ports on account of
the strike.
The Hamburger Nachrichten appeals
to the Hamburg Athletic associations
members to act as dockers in the emer-
gency and so prevent the ruin of the
trade of the town.
The Vorwaerts declares that the ship
owners have appealed to the govern
ment to send marines to take the places
of the striking dockers. The stock
dockers and warehouse unions have de-
cided to refuse to discharge the cargoes
of Hamburg vessels which have been
loaded by nom union men.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-Senator Sher-
man of Ohio gave a statement to The
Evening Star making fiat and en-
phatic denial of the reports concerning
a deal between himself and Mr.. Mark
Hanna, as to the Ohio senatorshlp, and
a cabinet position under Mckinley.
Mr.. Sherman says that the stories al
leging an arrangement whereby he
(Sherman) should go into the cabinet,
and Mr.. Hanna succeed him III the SEN
ate, are pure fabrication. He says he
has not seen either Mr. Mckinley or
Mr.. Hanna since the election, and that
he has not had any correspondence
with them save of the most ordinary
character. chiefly forwarding applica-
tions for office made through him.
There have been, he continued, no ar
rangements or conferences of any kind
as to offices.
Regarding whether he would be a
candidate for reelection to the senate,
Mr.. Sherman said that he had not
thought anything about It, and there
fore would not answer any questions
on that subject. He paid warm trib-
ute to Mr. Hanna, who, he said, was a
strong friend of his, and a man of fine
attainmentS and ability.

Viceroy Ii Hung Chang is again in
disgrace He entered the imperial park
and hunting grounds without sanction.
The punishment for this offense is to be
deprived of all his ranks and decora-
tions, but the emperor has decided to
be lenient and has merely deprived him
of a years salary amounting to $4,000
taels. The count, it is believed, will
ask TO be allowed to retire to his native
province on the plea Of i'll health, as he
has been disappointed i'll the hope of
obtaining position of influence in the
Peking government. Should the efforts
of the empress dowager in his behalf
succeed it will be easy for him to be-
come viceroy of Chihli.

Alleged Arrest of "a Florida Newspaper
Man in Cuba Il ing Investigated.
WASHINGTON. Nov 30.-Congressman
Cooper of Florida was very much inter.
ested in the report that G. B. Pendle-
ton, Florida newspaper man, had
been taken off the Morgan line steamer
at Havana by the Spanish authorities
as he was about to sail for Key West.
Mr.. Cooper says he has known Mr..
Pendleton for Is years; that he is
man of standing and influence in
his community and bona fide citizen
of the United States. He is the
proprietor of The Equator Democrat at
Key West. Mr.. Cooper says
Pendleton is in poor health, and that if
he were imprisoned in a damp cell in
Moro castle, his life might be placed
in jeopardy. The Florida congressman
went to the state department the first
thing in the morning in quest of addi-
tional details of the arrest. Secretary
Olney told him the department had re.
ceived no report on the case. The Sec
retary was inclined to think that Mr..
Pendleton had not been arrested, but
had been merely detained on account
of some irregularities in his passports.

NEW YORK, Nov. 30-As the out
come of considerable discussion by the
knights of Labor as to the general
makeup of the grand jury, long COM
munication was sent to the mayor and
the board of grand jury commissioners
by District Assembly 40, Knights of
Labor. 1t is claimed by those who
represent the Knights of Labor, that
the grand jury is made up almost en-
tirely of members of the chamber of
commerce, and that the laboring man
is entirely disregarded that not a
twentieth part of the grand jurors are
selected from the residential portions
of this city. For this and many other
reasons it is argued that the panel of
grand jurors should be reconstructed.

DUOYS Up BINETALLISTS
Senator Chandler ENCOURAGES
British Believers to Con-

Bryan'S Proposition Too Radi-
cal, He Says, and Defeat
Was the Result.
Large Vote Given Silver Shows
the Question Must Be
Compromised.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.--The Post, in
cable letter from London, prints
an advance copy of an important arti-
Gle written by Hon. William E. Chand-
Ter, senator from New Hampshire, for
the December issue of The National
Review, the Conservative monthly, in
which he discusses the late election
from the Republican standpoint His
principal object is to encourage
European bimetallists to continue their
propaganda. Senator Chandler's arti-
Gle in part is as follows:
European bimetallists need not be-
lieve that the election of Mckinley and
Hobart by overwhelming majorities is
decision to permanently accede to the
single gold standard. The Bryan
proposition was soon seen by the Amer
lean voters to be simply that the United
States should
Adopt Silver Monometaiiism;
should deliberately give up all attempts
to keep gold and silver at a parity !;
should send gold to a premium and
thereby make it merchandise merely,
and should base all American prices
upon silver only. But the fact that
100000 out of 1900, 900 of American
voters have given their ballots for the
wild project of immediate free silver
coinage by the United States alone
shows that the question is one which
must be compromised and adjusted in
some way. The advocates of gold
monometallism are crying out that the
silver question is dead. They hope,
but do not really believe, that this is
true. Never was it more important for
bimetallists to exert themselves. Mr..
Mckinley is pledged by his own words
to cooperation with us. :"

LONDON, Nov. 30.-The Times corre-

upon Captain General Weyler's failure

1T is said that the present issue OF
bank notes Is to be withdrawn and a
new issue based on the value OF silver
is to be substituted for $50, 900, 900, in
tended for the payment of the troops.
AS there is no metallic reserve it Is safe
to predict that these notes will soon fall
to purely nominal value"
The Times says in an editorial on the
above: 1.-The gloomy outlook i'll Cuba
makes it impossible to exclude the pos
sibility of some kind of United States
intervention.

vance in Wheat.
CHICAGO, Nov. 30.-The Times Her.
AID in its review and forecast of the
wheat market says:
Wheat last week advanced Z to s
cents per bushel and on Saturday
touched the best prices ON the crop,
S23a cents for December and S57a cents
for May. The incentives during the
week were chiefly foreign ones, partic-
ularly the numerous estimates made
abroad as to the extent to which
Europe would need to call upon Amer
lea for wheat supplies. All these fig
ures were startling, the estimate which
put the European requirements from
America at 100000 bushels per
month up to Aug. /, as well at the
other one which computed the Atlantic
side
Would Have to Furnish
104, ,000, 600 bushels during the balance
of the crop year, and those others who
reduced the necessities a little, but
which kept them still over any total
believed to be possible by the statisti-
clans on this side. Exports III five
months, wheat and 1opr, have reached
S0,O00,0O0 bushels, and the European
estimates are for exports during the
next seven months at rate even faster
than this. That seems beyond the
capacity of this side. The price settles
matters of this sort, advancing quota.
