observers of the market to fear that the
events later in the afternoon proved that
those fears were correct.
The deal in Diamond Match was only
part of this great speculative operation
The Moore Brothers had organized the
New York Biscuit company several
years ago, after the first great success
of theDiamond Match company. The
panic of 1898 had hit the biscuit company
severely, as it did all the other indus
tries, and the stock was far below par.
The success which was met with in u
speculative manipulation of Diamond
Match, led to desire to see what would
be done with New York Biscuit, and that
stock was taken several months ago
and advanced from 20 to 10S. From that
it dropped back to 80, and for weeks was
held close about that figure. Enormous
quantities of this stock were also poured
upon the market, but they were taken
with the same steadiness which marked
the action of Diamond Match. The ac-
cumulations, however, represented
great sum in time, and the operations in
the block will add largely to the amount
involved. 1t is not at the present time
possible to make any estimate of what
the figure is. The Moores have unques-
tionably purchased an enormous line
of New York Biscuit and damon Match
The capital stock of the Diamond Match
company is still $11 100000. 1t is said
that the Moores have purchased half
the capital of the Diamond Match COM
pany and their purchases of New York
Biscuit stock perhaps bears as large
proportion to the total

neetlng to Consider the State Electors
Problem
SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. S.-Active
efforts to bring about a fusion on the
electoral tickets between the Democrats
and Populists will begin tomorrow at
the meeting of the state executive
committee of the latter party. Fusion
will be the chief topic of discussion.
Several plans will be presented and a
conference committee appointed to meet
the Democratic state central committee.
which is to convene in this city on Sat
urday.
Just what form of proposition these
representatives of the Populists will
present is unknown at this time. al
though from statements made by Chair
man Wardell it is believed that the plan
will be similar to that suggested by
Franklin X. Lane in a communication
addressed TO both committees several
days ago. Lane suggested that each
party should have a representation on
the electoral ticket proportionate to its
vote in the last state election, and that
the vote of all the electors should he
cast for Bryan and Sewall if IL Demo-
Gratis cast the larger vote for lieutenant
governor. and for Bryan and Watson if
the Populists cast the heavier vote.
Chairman Wardel is not satisfied
with the representation of three, esti-
mated on this basis. He says his party
is Justly entitled, upon the basis of its
vote last year, to an equal representa-

tia and a large force of police. A big
crowd of union men were present, but no
outbreak occurred.
The sympathetic strike threatened eV-
er since the strike at Brown company's
works began, eleven weeks ago. was in
augurated this morning. Eighty seven
men employed by the Van Wagner X
Williams company, hardware manufac-
turers, laid down their tools and walked
out They said their only grievance was
sympathy with the Brown Hosting COM
pany's men. Committees were sent to
other factories to notify the men that
they were called out The leaders of the
Van Wagner strikers said they would
demand of Mayor McKissen that the
non-unionists be dismissed, and, if this
is refused, the strikers would arm them
selves and compel the non untonists to
give up their weapons by force if neces-
sary. Shortly before noon Director of
Police Abbott ordered another company
of militia to the Brown works making
five companies III all The director said
he had received private information
which satisfied him the condition of af-
fairs is more serious than appeared on
the surface. A crowd of union men gath

All of the men who struck today out
of sympathy with the Brown strikers
decided to return to work tomorrow
morning and it is not believed the strike
will spread unless the Central Labor
union takes a hand in the trouble. \
meeting of the Brown strikers was held
this afternoon, at which Master Work
man James O'Connell made a speech
in which he declared that the agreement
between the Brown company and the
strikers had been misunderstood; that
1t was interpreted one way by the COM

He is reported to have said that the
battle from now on would be watched
with interest by the labor world.
