Mistaken Impression of the Mission
nj IN IL inI.rnon.r pnrIr


Of n Richmond Party.
Mr. Z. r. Conrad. OF this city, has Just
returned from n business trip 10 81. Louis
and Louisville. and brings with him sevc-
raj clippings from leading st. Louis
papers. In evidence OF the fact that IL
is very difficult for any tobacconist from
Virginia To be found in St. Louis with
out being suspected OF being in some
way connected with fixing up matters be-
tween the trust and the antitrust fac
tories there.
In st. Louis Mr. Conrad met with
Mcssrs. John b. Halscy and II. II. Bur
russ. Of Lynchburg. Va, the former
lawyer and the latter connected with
q cigarette machine company. Colonel a.
s. Buford was also along. on railroad
business, with Mr.. John r. Williams,
the slate man, Of Richmond. These COM
posed the alleged delegation OF plug-to-
bacco manufacturers from Virginia who
were reported as being in 81. Louis to
arrange the settlement OF the tobacco
and cigarette concerns.
Mr.. Conrad says the representatives
Of the 81. Louis factories he saw are
unqualified In their assertions that there
never viii be any compromise between
themselves and the American Tobacco
Company: neither will they sell out in
any sum which the trust could possibly
afford 20 offer. Western people say the
tobacco crop viii not be reduced this
year. The western markets viii be found
exceedingly low on dark tObaccos. while
the breaks are composed mostly Of com
mon and low Burleys the few better
grades selling only moderately well

1T is true that a number Of my warm,

nit the use of my name for this posi-
ton, In some instances expressing a
willingness 10 support me irrespective OF
the seeming claims OF others without re-
gard as to whether l was voted for as n
candidate from the city or counties. I'm
Outstanding, however, that many Of the

A QUIET WHIT-MONDAY.
Not ~ General Holiday as In
Ncnrs Gone Hy-Pfcnics.

Whit-Monday has almost ceased to be
a holiday, in Richmond, at least. It's OBJ
servance has been less and less for seve-
raj years past, and yesterday it is doubt
ful If many Of our citizens remembered
that the day had been reached. on the
calendar Except for few picnic parties
and private fishing expeditions the day
passed by just as others do, and bust
ness, as a rule went on as usual. The
stfeet-car travel was quite large.
The members OF the McGill Catholic
Union spent the day in the country, at
Mr.. Charles T.. Belvin's delightful sum-
mer place, West View. Between sixty
and seventy of the young men left Ninth
and Marshall streets at $50 in the morn
ing on transfer wagons, and as they
rolled off in the heavy vehicles those who
happened TO pass them knew that they
were off for a good time.
The various excursions that went out
carried very good crowds.

the twonty-frst anniversary of his pas

Sunday. 4 large congregation assembled
In the tabernacle to hear his morning
sermon, which was appropriate TO the oc-

destroyed the magnificent new structure
erected for the congregation, and added
words Of encouragement, expressing the
hope that the day was not far distant
when the church would be occupying its
new temple. DR.. Hatcher indirectly al
luded TO the report that he was TO leave
Richmond. He did not know how the re-
port had started. He said he had first
heard il in Charleston, S. c., but assured
the congregation that It was not his in
tention to leave Grace-Street church. lie

entertain any such proposition. He in

NEW YORK. May 25.-Trading at Stock
Exchange is largely Of professional cha
racter. To-day traders and the leading
operators active in the market were OF
bcarish turn Of mind. The engagement
OF 81 $4,000 Of gold for shipment TO Eu-
rope by to-morrow's steamers. the belief
that fully 100000 will be forwarded this
week. and the small increase in the
earnings of the St. Paul for the third
week Of the current month were all fac
tors in the market. The falling off in the
earnings of St. Paul and the light move
ment Of corn were especially disappoint-
Ing. TO the bulls on stocks. The fact that
coInmissloa-houses were practically with
out orders for outside account made it
comparatively easy FOR the bears to
bring abo1t a lower range Of values.
on Saturday this class OF business was
quite a feature. and its sudden subsistence
is difficult of explanation. London houses
