ANTI M'KINLEY MEMS PLANS.
THEY APPEAR ALMOST READY TO GIVE
UP THE FIGHT.
STRENGTH OF THE OPPOSITION ESTIMATED AT
300 VOTES-NAMES SUGGESTED FOR
THE VICE PRESIDENCY.

[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIPUNE.1
Washington. May 1.-THE star says this
afternoons ut is understood that the statement
Monday morning, while presenting figures.
stated yesterday, to show that the claims of the
Mckinley people are vastly in excess of what is
warranted by the facts. will be very conclatory
in tone and will declare that if NJ Kinley is nomi
mated at ST. Louis all Republican, will heartily
join in his support. The statement is made on
responsible anti-McKnley authority that the
plan decided on is that the friends of the other
candidates shall hold their forces together as
well possible until after the first ballot at St
Louis The intention. according to this state
ment is to place Reed and Morton. and possibly
Quay, in nomination 1t is estimated that the
entire opposition will have between them 30O
votes. This estimate leaves enough to nominate
Mckinley on the first ballot. AS soon as the bal
loting shows the nomination OF Mckinley, either
Quay or Platt II is said. will move to make the
nomination unanimous
NEARLY all gossip in news circles az the capita
proceeds on the assumption that McKinleys
nomination is assured. This assumption IL
strengt hened by the fact that some OF the recoS-
niZed Quay and Platt men of standing privately
express the opinion that the bottom Is out OF their
fight.
"A great many names are being suggested for
second place. There Is some talk OF Morton.

MILLIONS AT AUCTION.
Sale OF Northern Pacific Property at
Seattle.

A dispatch of August 3 from
Seattle reports one of the series of
sales at auction, in different
places, of the property of the
Northern Pacific Railroad Com
pany. The sales are preliminary
to the reorganization of the
corporation into the Northern
Pacific Railway Company. Thus
far all the sales have been con-
firmed by the Federal Court.
The report states that Special
Master Carey, who conducted the
sale, said that he would first offer
for sale any tract of land on which
any bidder wished to bid separ-
ately. 1t required some nerve to
volunteer to bid against the great
corporation whose representative
was avowedly present to bid in
the property, but man was there

promptly with the request that a
half section of track about two
miles from Issaquah be put up
separately. He gave his name as
Fred Rice Rowell, who offered
$1,000.
Fifteen hundred" came in a
quiet voice, and all eyes were
turned to a man in plain surtout
and brown derby, whom many for
the first time identified as Presi-
dent Winter. The bids went by
swift leaps till Rowell, nerved ap-
parently for a last desperate
effort, said "Eleven thousand"
"Fifteen thousand" said Mr..
Winter as quietly as bidding for
tOrfeits at pawn party. The
leap was too great for Rowell. He
collapsed, and was heard from no
more. The total amount bid for
all the lands in this district was
S,7l0,000.

IMPROVING TRADE.

There is a remarkably cheerful
lone pervading the financial arti-
Gle of the Foreign and Colonial
Importer and British Trade Re.
view, London, of latest date to
hand. 1t represents trade as con-
dnuing to expand and the demand
for money to increase. The i'm
provement in trade is chiefly due
10 the great prosperity of the
East and also of the Continent.
India is having more new rail-
Ways built than at any one time
previously. In this connection
the article says, Chow inadequate
has been the railway mileage in
India in the past may be gathered
from the fact that the United
States, with a population only
about one-fourth of that of India,
has a railway mileage approxim-
ately four times as great"
With the expansion of trade there
IL also noted chespness of money,
Tor which some Of the causes are
gwen. For instance, eleven and
a half million dollars Of the Gov
srnment's floating debt was paid
he other day, setting in circula.
hon that large amount from the
custody of the Bank of England.
There was tightness for a week,
when money had to be borrowed
from the same bank at two per
oent., owing to monthly settle
gsents for June and the issue of
large number of new companies.
Dividends paid on the funds early
1n July, however, eased the money
market. AS an indication that
money is expected to remain alb
aormally cheap for long time to
come, the Review mentions the
placing of a million of treasury
bills by the Government, in re-
aewal of a similar amount fall
ing due, at twelve months at
a rate of about las. Cd. per cent.
That is to say, buyers of bills are
Silling to place money for a whole
year at under three. quarters per
cent. The expansion in trade
and the cheapness of money in
she worlds chief market give
promise of better times universal
ly, modified by local conditions in
different countries. Hawaii, also,
ought not to have long to wait
Tor the success of its refunding
scheme.

RELIGION IN JAPAN.
one Of That Nationality Disputes
Certain Statements.

In re the editorial entitled
Japan War and Religion" in the
Advertiser of yesterday morning,
the BULLETIN has received a COM
munication from one of the most
influential japanese business men
of Honolulu, in which he denies
all of the statements made in the
morning paper. IN japan, he
says, in substance, the percentage
of the inhabitants who have en-
braced Christianity is so very
small as to be insignificant. "No
one, practically, of the more intel
ligent class" says he, "have in
any way thrown aside the tenets
of Buddhism. The recruits are
from among the lowest orders; the
coolie element" These men he as
serts, pretend to embrace the
more modern religion from pure
ly mercenary motives. They are
no more Christians at heart than
before they heard of the Christ.
The one reason, he maintains,
why Christianity is not well re-
ceived in Dai Nippon, is because
Of the vast number of prohigates
who use that religion as cloak
to conceal their present and to ex
cuse their past misdeeds. There
can be no question of reformation
amongst this class. They do not
and never did desire to reform.
By pretense of conversion from
the older faiths an opportunity
is given them to secure an
English education for a merely
nominal sum. Monetary advant-
ages are arrived at and in various
ways the hypocritical convert OBJ
tains what he sought when he
claimed or confessed conversion.
The gentleman is a man of I'M
doubted business and social in.
tegrity, and is in direct touch
with members of the Imperial
japanese ministry. Having given
the matter much study and having
very extensive knowledge of his
own country his statements are
without doubt based upon fact.
The correspondent speaks further
of the misleading reports sent to
the Home Board by missionaries,
deplores such action and at the
same time expresses a deep sym
pathy for the wearisome efforts
made by them and which have
proven fruitless. Commercial in
terests and desire to advance in
various ways, caused by the know
ledge gained from the foreign
mercantile class, are the causes of
Japan's forward movement. Re-
ligion, he says, has had nothing
whatever to do with it.

Timely Topics
/" YOUR HOUSE IS ON
FIRE"

This may be the warning
cry to you some night.
Whether it refers to your store,
factory, mill, office, or resi-
dence, it means that all of your
valuable account books, Secu-
rites, deeds, insurance policies,
notes, receipts, mortgages, etc,
will be destroyed if not pro-
tected by a fire-proof safe.
Can you afford to run this
hazardous risk? The loss of
an insurance policy alone in
nine cases out of ten would
cause you endless trouble and
expense in going to law to Sc
cure a settlement, and then
your chances of coming to a
satisfactory adjustment with
the insurance company would
indeed be very slim. 1t is
duty that you owe to your
business, to your family and
to yourself to protect these
things against both fire and
thieves. That old tin box or
drawer in which you have
been in the habit of keeping
your papers, would be of no
service whatever in case of
fire.
A VICTOR safe will last
you a lifetime, and it is the
best investment that any bust
ness man can make. You
make no mistake in buying a
Victor. Out of forty thousand
safes manufactured and shipped
by this company, upwards of
four hundred have already
gone through very severe fires
and not one has ever yet failed
to preserve its contents when
put to a test.
We have thousands of teSti-
monials from prominent people
as to the merits of these
VICTOR safes. We offer a
recent one as sample
