quiet on the silver business, elect him
governor and send Governor Holcomb

on that issue we cannot see how
Bryan will be factor in the next

leading supporters here think the
silver issue dead, Bryan is not in

General Harrison's Book.

The Indianapolis Journal prints
this interesting story concerning ex-
President Harrison:s forthcoming
book: General Harrison has just COM
pleted the revision of his articles
which have appeared in the Ladies
Homo Journal, making extended notes
and additions to them. There is a
little story in connection with both
articles and publication. When the
arrangement for the articles was made
with General Harrison by Edward w. /.
Box, editor OF the Ladies' Home
Journal, the general was paid for
them, with the understanding that
when they were put into book form
the magazine was to share the royal
ties accruing therefrom. Mr.. Box.
however, of his own accord, gener-
ously released General Harrison from
paying him any royalty, for the rea-
son, as he states, that by the publica-
tion of the articles by General Harri-
son the subscription list of his maga-
zine was enlarged many thousands.
The profits to the Ladies' Home Jour-
nal were more then the publishers an
ticipated, and in view of this Mr.. Box
asks nothing further. General Har-
rison placed the disposition of his
book in Mr.. Bok's hands. The best
offer came to the editor from the
Scribners, and to them Mr.. Box gave
the book for his distinguished con-
tributor. General Harrison's revision
of the book has just been completed
and the volume will appear in the
autumn.

Silver a Dead Issue.

A Lincoln, Neb., special to the Min
neapolis Journal says:-':For several
mouths the silver party in Nebraska
has been manifesting uneasiness con-
cerning the lecture business of Mr..
Bryan. Primarily a number of his
warmest supporters demonstrated with
him about trying to begin the cam
paign of 1900 at once after the close of
the last one, but he thought otherwise
and went ahead. Now, however, his
leading supporters in this state are
determined to have him pulled off.
A conference of the leading spirits
was held here recently in which this
question came up and it was decided
that something must be done at once
if Mr.. Bryan is ever to make another
presidential race. The plan as
adopted was that he should be written
to come home at once for the fall cam
paign, as his services were needed to
elect the populist state ticket. Then.
to groom him for governor on the fu-
sion ticket next fall and gradually
turn him from his present route into a
position where he can make digni-
fed race in 1900 for the presidential
chair.
One of the members of that confer
ence has made the substance of the
sentiment that prevailed at the meet
ing public, and it is provoking much
comment. In discussing the situation
he said: ''It would appear that the
interest is lessening in the silver issue
daily all over the country, and If Mr..

IMPROVEMENT IN BUSINESS
Encouraging Reports From
Nearly Every Section.

New York, July 3O.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade tomor-
row will say: Dispatches from almost
every Northern city of Importance re-
port without exception Improvement in
business, and from Detroit to Seattle
and Portland, splendid crop prospects.
The task of adjusting the business and
industries of the countries to condi-
tions created by the new tariff law has
progressed with gratifying rapidity
and ease. Even the increasing strength
of striking coal miners probably for
wards the adoption of the uniformity
plan, which promises to remove most
of the causes of such struggles. Some
confusion is created by events seem
ingly contradictory: by closing of
large cotton mills when many other
works are starting up, and by decline
in some prices when others are ad-
vancing, but the balance is unmistak-
ably on the right side.
The most important evidence since
the passage of the new tariff, which
was generally anticipated a week ago,
has been the marked increase in for.
eign demand and advance in the price
foa wheat. With crop news still ia.

the accumulated stocks at the season
when vacations are common, and be-

Delay in the iron industry is partly
because wages have not been settled
at all works, though at many, and
partly because steadily rising demand
does not yet raise prices. In some
products prices are shade lower.
owing to competition between works,
but bessemer is a shade higher. In

We were told from nearly
every public platform in the
state last fall that supply and de-
mand had nothing to do with the
rise and fall in the price of wheat.
Now that the price of wheat is
away up these same fellows are
fearful that the republicans will
get credit for the increased
price, so they stand around and
tell you that it is on account OF
the short wheat crop abroad.
And yet Russia has an immense
wheat crop. Consistency thou

There are thirty senator's
whose terms will expire in 1899,
of whom the fate of two, Hanna
and Gear, will be decided by the
elections this fall. The success
sors of the others will be decided
in 1898. The result in at least
twelve of these states may be
considered in question namely:
Washington, Wyoming, Califor-
MIA, Delaware. Indiana, Mary
land, New Jersey, New York,
North Dakota, West Virginia
Wisconsin and Nebraska. The
Oregon vacancy will undoubted-
" be filed by a republican, in
which case the senate, including
the sixty senators who do not re-

Gratis, five populists and three
silver party men. Adding to
these senator's whose election is
practically certain, and the total
is, republican forty-one, demo

Great Britain Recedes From
Her Stubborn Attitude.
Will Consent to Join an Inter.
national Conference.
Complete Success of the United
States Spe eial ENJOYS.
France Also Warmly Approves
To Nee. in Washington.

Washington. July 9.-OMcial ln-
formation just received in Washing
ton indicates that Great Britain will
consent to join in an International
monetary conference to be held in this
city next winter. The information is
complete confirmation of the cable
dispatch from London. published q
few days ago, which stated that Grea,
Britain's representatives had received
the proposition of the United States
ENJOYS with enthusiasm and interest
far greater than was ever expected.
The statements received here Indicate
that the mission of Special Envoys
Stevenson, Paine and Wolcott will be
a complete success.
Though Great Britain has not yet
made an official response tothe propo-
sition of the United States ENJOYS, an
intimation has been given to repre-
sentatives of the government that
England will shortly consent to parti-
cipate in an International conference
w
from official channels and is received
with great enthusiasm by bimetallists
in this city. 1t has been conceded
since the subject of another interna-
tional conference was first suggested
that the sole difficulty in bringing
about such conference would be
found in the hitherto fixed and stub
born attitude of Great Britain. If
this is overcome there can be scarcely
any obstacle in the way of a confer
ence.
The reports received from the speci-
al ENJOYS state also that their recep-
tion in France was far more favorable
than the press reports indicated at the
time of their visit and that France has
practically accepted the proposal to
Join in conference and abide by its
results, providing Great Britain could
be induced to do likewise. A bimetal-
lie conference without Great Britain
participating could, of course, accom-
plish nothing, as bimetallism could
not be successful without the full and
complete approval of England.
The United States government has
made no suggestions about the basis
of an International bimetallic agree
ment, the country stands practically
committed to International bimatal-
lism through the declaration of the
two dominant parties in their platform
of 1896. 1t is said by the authorities
in Washington that no denite state
ment regarding a basis of agreement
was included in the instructions to the
special ENJOYS now in Europe and
their business was solely to bring
about an International conference.
leaving the details to be determined
lgter. If the ENJOYS, therefore, sue
ceed in that endeavor their mission
will have been entirely successful.
