PROMISES.
FL Paso. Tex, Feb. ls-Interest in the possible
meeting of Maher and Fftzsmmons on Friday has
about disappeared. The throngs that erstwhie
blockaded FL Paso-st, from front to curb have
gradually dwindied away. The headquarters. too.
are deserted. The feeling Is general that some
thing will again happen to keep the men from meet
ing, while those who sceptical on this point
express themselves caring nothing for the out
come.
The companies OF State Rangers, twenty-fo3r
men, all told. still remain in the city. although they
are not as much In evidence about the streets as they
were last week. Adjutant Mabrey held con-
sultation this afternoon with Captains Mcdonald
and Bell and later informed the United Press rep
resentatves that the Rangers would remain here
until the fight managers had gone.
a semi official statement given out from heao-
quarters to-day says in part: mo one should
think that the Fftzsimmons-Maher fight will not
take place simply because the lesser fights have
been declared off. The fact of the matter Is tina;
Stuart has been placed in better position to pull
off the big fight since the little events are out
of the way than he was before. THERE'S need for
the visitors that remain to fear interference The
ring is well located and the conditions are such that
no one will be arrested moested. This much can
be stated absolutely kilograms and assertions to the
contrary Notwithstanding. 49,,

London Feb. 1S.-"The Pail Mall Gazette pup

obstacle to the latter happening Is General Saus-

conservative with the courage of his CONVICTIONS
and ever alert to suppress revolutionary move

correspondent is credited with having remarked
that seven years ago two-line paragraph under

The fact that the silver men will
control the Chicago convention has
upset great many political plans,
made upon the presumption that
neither the republican nor democratic
national conventions would declare
for silver. Prominent members OF
the silver party, which is to hold a
national convention at St. Louis on
July 22d-the same time and place
that the populist convention is to be
held-have already declared that they
favored endorsing he ticket nominal
ed at Chicago, if the platform declared
for silver. This doesn't suit the pop.

the co-operat ofsthe silver party

The proud heart is the first to sink
before contempt; it's feels the wound
more keenly than any other can.
Oh! there is nothing in language that
can express the deep humiliation OF
being received with GOODNESS when
kindness is expected; of seeing the
look, but half concealed, of strong
disaprobation from such as We have
cause to feel beneath us, not alone In
vigor of mind and spirit, but even in
virtue and truth. The weak, the
base, the hypocrite are the first to
turn with indignation, from their fei-
low-mortals in disgrace; and whilst
the really pure suspect with caution
and censure with mildness these
traffickers in petty sins, who plume
themselves upon their immaculate
conduct, sound the alarm-bell at the
approach of guilt, and clamor their
anathemas upon their unwary and
covering prey.

The general condition of the wool
market is extremely weak at present,
the price of wool dropping to point
never before heard of, and even the
price paid now is based on the expect
ancy of higher prices later in the
season, rather than on the present
demand for the product. There is a
great tendency on he part of growers
to hold their wool until after election
hoping that the prospects OF tariff
will stimulate the price. This, IN a
way, accounts for the shortage in the
clip of 1896. Notwithstanding the
reported shortage in the crop, both
here and in Australia the large sup
ply of old wool and the closing down
of many WOODEN factories all have
tendency to keep the price down.
The best authorities do not hold out
much encouragement for an immed-
late raise in prices.
