today to take concerted action toward
advancing the pricesof underwear, hosiery,

the cost figured on che price of raw ma
terial or yarn at the time OF sale. 1t
was also resolved that, according to the
relative amount of wool and cotton used
an immediate advance is necessary OF from
10 TO 40 per cent, to cover the increased
cost Of knit goods.
If it is necessary to carry this out, the

POLITICAL GOSSIP.

Congressman Lands, of the Ninth Indiana
district, secured a prize yesterday when
the name Of the President was signed 10
the commission Of Nolan l.. Chew, of Mobiles
Vile, Ind, as Assistant Register Of the
Treasury. There have been quite an army
of applicants for this place, for, as the
big offices have been filled the aspiring
politicians have lowered their claims until
the smaller positions are beSieged by clam
orous hundreds. Senator Hanna and Con-
gresham Grosvenor were backing 4 man
from Ohio by the name of Gladdis, but
in this case an Ohio man got turned down.
Mr.. Lands IS A young Congressman, but
he knows how 10 hustle. He secured the
Presidents promise for the place months
ago, the only conditions attached being
that the man should not be appointed until
tie register had been agreed upon. Yes
:ertiay, however, W hen Mr.. Lands saw the
President, the Executive observed that mas
much az the head of the office was still
undetermined, the Indiana man might us
well lie named, " his commission was
ordered to be made out at once.
The appointee is d young business man OF
N9blcsyllle, and was chairman OF the Re
publican county central committee during
the last campaign. His appointment is
said to ne good one, for Mr.. Chew is said,

Senator Thurston of Nebraska was among

The Senator has just returned from Ohio,
where hr assisted at the opening OF the
campaign. He was unfortunate ia his as
signment. for he happened to be senG into
a corner OF the State where there was
frost at the Republican opening. The
Senator talks hopefully about the situa
ton and predicts Republican success, but
without going into details appears to be
dubious about what is likely To drop in
the counties where the big cities are To-
Gated. In conversation with friends yes

from the West relative 20 his own affairs.
He said that his determination not to a gain
be a candidate Tor the Senate was fixed
and final, and that when his present term

Secretary Sherman yesterday afternoon
oorrohorated the statement published in
The Times two or three weeks ago TO the
effect that IL was hardly proba bic tina the
Secretary would participate In the Ohio
campaign. The matter must have come up
at the Cabinet meeting, for the cam
pdign in OHIO could not have been avoided
IN tue general discussion that was held
around tie counsel table. 1t is supposed
that the President WAS afraid that his
Secretary Eight he mdiscreet and say
things that the Administration did not
care to have injected into the campaign
or become the property OF the general pub
lie. Mr.. Sherman could not very well make
"a political speech In his old State without
reverting to the Eolicy or the Admins
tTation on the great questions OF the da y
ana among trese questions none is of more
burning interest at the present time
than cur relations with Spain, growing
out OF the Cuban war.
There is no doubt but that it was thought
Lest not 10 oEen the door for any state
meuts that might need further elpiana-
tions. 1t was tberefsre undoubtedly in
timated 20 Mr.. Sherman that he should
follow the traditions of his office, ana keep
out Of tie active participation OF a cam
paign. During the afternoon Mr. Sherman
when asked whether he would take part
in the campaign, said he did not ex-
pect To 90 10 Ohio until the latter end Of
the month, and add ell Significantly that
he would probably not take any part in
tho campaign. Coming upon the heels
of the Cabinet meeting this statement
was more than usually significant.
