The report was adopted.
The committee on resolutions pre-
sented the following report:
Be it resolved, by the Democratic
party of the city of MankatO in conven-
ton assembled;
That we believe in open, fair, eco
nomieal and businesslike methods in
conducting public affairs, and renew
our declaration of the tlme-honoree
principles of the Democratic party of
the greatest good to the greatest num-
Der
ResoLced, That this convention points
with pride to the fact that the last
Democratic administration not only
formed and esta blished our superior
water system by which our fellow citi-
zens have been furnished with pure and
wholesome water for domestic purposes
at lower cost than in any city of equal
size in the. state, that the public sewer
system has been materially extended
and improved, our beautiful park sys-
tenn inaugurated, and out of the saw
ings Of the ordinary tax levy the bond
ed Indebtedness of the city reduced ten
thousand dollars. While we are proud
of these results of our party admins
tration this convention points to it as
an assurance of economy, fidelity and
good practical results from restoration
of the Democratic party to the manage
ment of municipal affairs;
ReSOlred, That in view OF the doctrine
of public economy we declare ourselves
favorable to the public control of
municipal franchises, and especially all
those affecting water, light and all
domestic service, at all times when ex-
listing conditions will warrant their
use to promote the public welfare.
ResOIUed. That we favor, and the can
didates placed in nomination by this
convention are pledged to, just and
equitable assessment and valuation OF
all property subject to taxation, to the
end that all and every interest protect
ed by the government shall bear its just
proportion of the expenses thereof; and
that the best means of reaching those
results will be favored by the repre-
sentatives of the Democratic party
placed before our fellow citizens for
their suffrage.
Resolved, That we further pledge ou1
united and unwavering support to the
nominees of this convention, and that
when elected we will afford them ou1
unremitting aid and encouragement in
upholding the principles here pro
claimed.

TEA IMPORTERS LOSE.

Anticipated Tariff and Are Loaded Up
With Millions of Pounds.
NEW YORK, July 1.-THE importers
in this city are confronted by the pros
pect of heavy loss on their importa.
ton of fifteen to twenty million pounds
of tea, which began arriving i'll this city
about the lst Of July. 1t was ordered
when the general impression was that
congress would put duty on tea. 1t
is of the first crop, the finest tea of the
year, and to forestall the tariff the inn
porters took all they could get.
When the tariff was abandoned it left
the second crop and every other inferior
grade of tea free to come in, and conse-
quently there is large stock of high
grade tea to be sold at sacrifice.
Charles A. O'Donohue says: "When
the rush for tea began, Chinese and
Japanese tnerchants advanced their
prices, and reaped harvest. Today,
tea is fully 5 cents lower than it was be-
fore there was any tariff agitation
The "first crop" upon which import
ers plunged SO heavily is arriving here
now. The promise that duty would
be placed upon tea had benefited Chi
nese and japanese alone.

KELLIHAN WHISKED AWAY.

Officers Believed He Would BE Safer at
saltwater Than at Fa!rmOnt.
FAIRMoNT, Mimi, July 17.-The au.
thorities here in charge of Kellihan, the
bank robber, sprang great surprise on
the people here and whisked Kellihan
out of Jail, where it was supposed he
would stay until Aug. 2, and boarded
him on the o'clock train for Saltwater.
It was deemed best by the authorities
that he should be gotten out of the
vicinity as quickly as possible, owing to
the threats Of lynching which had been
made here and at Sherburne. Up to the
time of his departure it was kept abso.
lutely secret and was entirely unex.
pected. His communication to life i'm.
prisonment was received with disfavor
by the majority of the business men.

HOPPERS IN THE HILLS.

Large Swarms Of the Pest Alight and be-
gin Their Work of Destruction.
RAPID CITY, S. D., July l7.-Word
has been brought in from Spring creek
that swarm of grasshoppers alighted
near a farmers wheat fields and were
cleaning everything before them. At
the time the news was brought in a Sec
ton of range about six miles square had
been swept clean Of buffalo grass and
the ground left bare. 1t is stated that
the section destroyed will be worthless
for fall or winter feed. All the afternoon
the sky in this city was cloudy with a
swarm Of the pests flying southwark.
Because of the widely scattered popula.
ton it would be almost impossible to
wage successful war againit the pests.
The hoppers seem to take liking to
buffalo grass as we'll as wheat field.
Already several cattle men have had to
move their stock to fresh ranges.

Baltimore and Ohio Virtually
Shuts Out West Virginia
Coal
By Raising the Tariff IS Cents
a Ton, Excluding 1t From
Competition.
Arbitration Commissioners Con-
fiaent They Will Soon Settle
the Strike.

CLEVELAND, July 1.-THE increased
Tariff Of IS cents OH West Virginia coal
by the Baltimore and Ohio road will
have the effect of excluding West Vir.
ginia coal from competition and it is ad.
mitted that such was the purpose of the
advance.
The operators were claiming that ow.
ing to the existence of contracts at fixed
figures they could advance the rate Of
mining without losing money. If they
fill the contracts with West Virginia
coal the advanced tariff will make them
lose money anyhow.
Therefore the railways advanced the
transportation charges for the purpose
of furthering the settlement OF the
strike The rate does not apply to coal
for lake SHIPMENT

HENLEY.oN.THAMEs, July 17.-Dr. w.
S. Mcdowell of Chicago was beaten by
H. T. Blackstaffe in the semi-finals for
the Diamond Sculls. E. H. Ten Eyck
of Massachusetts, defeated B. H. Howell,
also in the semi.finals for the Diamond
Sculls. This leaves the final contest for
the great trophy for single sculls be-
tween Blackstaffe, an Englishman, and
Ten Exck, an American.
Mcdowell and Blackstaffe started off
together and in fine style. At the top
of the island, Mcdowell was leading by
quarter of length, rowing 3S stroke
to the minute as against Blackstaffe' s
40. This lead he maintained until they
had passed the quarter mile stake, when
Blackstaffe forged forward and pushed
the nose of his boat to the front.
At the Rectory, Blackstaffe led by
half a length. A little later Blackstaffe
collided with the piles and Mcdowell
gained some, but it did no good. In his
excitement he caught a crab. At the
threc.quarter distance stake boat, Black
static was length ahead, and rowing
easily. He kept this lead without much
effort, as Mcdowell did not seem to
have any "go" left. Blackstaffe beat
the record. Time minutes 44:l.5 Sec
onds. Mcdowell was also within the
record.
After the race DR.. Mcdowell said:
II shall come again next year, and
every year until I win. After caught
the crab lost my gait, and could not
pick it up. Mr.. Blackstaffe rowed in
great form. Anyway, was within the
record.

REMARKABLE SHOWING.
Exports of Merchandise for the Last Fis
cal Year Break All Records.

Exports Of Merchandise for the Last Fis-
cal Year Break All Records.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE monthly
statement of the exports and imports Of
the United States just issued makes the
remarkable showing that never before
in the history of the country has the ex.
ports of merchandise, which includes
practically all the exports except gold
and silver, reached SO high figure as
during the fiscal year ending June 80,
1897, nor has the excess Of exports over
imports ever been SO large. The only
time these figures were approached was
in 1892, when the United States was
making heavy shipments of grain to
feed Europeans suffering from series
of deficient harvests. The statement
for 1897, with comparisons, is as follows:
Comparative Statement.
Exports of domestic merchandise,
81 ,O32, 99S, $50; increase over 1896 about
sl7O,COO,COO. Total exports Of domestic
and foreign merchandise, 81, ,05l ,987 ,09l,
as compared with $685.. .606, 1888 for 1896.
The total imports Of merchandise dur.
ing the fiscal year just closed amounted
to s764, ,9O5, of which 1881, $780,.
COS was free of duty. The total i'm
ports were about $15,35O,0OO less
than last year, and the excess Of
exports over imports for the year was
$2S7 ,S13, 1856. This is an excess of about
$lS5 ,OOO, 900 over last year, and an ex.
cess of about $23, ,O5O, 900 over any previ.
Gus year. The exports Of silver during
the last fiscal year amounted to $751;.
946, ,63S, the highest figure ever reached.

IT WILL TAKE TINE.

Dut "True Uniformity Will Probably Win
in the Pittsburg District.
PITTsBURG, July l7.-True unifority
kay eventually win III the Pittsburg
mining district through the efforts of
the peace commissioners, but it will
take time. 1t is expected that it will
require several weeks, perhaps month
to secure the signatures of the operators
to the proposition, as General Little
has advised that no time limit be put on
the movement, as at the former attempt.
In the meantime, the miners officials
say, no efforts will be spared to force
the strike to successful issue. The
lines along which the arbitrators expect
to work is to get the thirteen lake ship
pers interested first. These will be
banded together to force the smaller op.
orators into line by we'll known business
methods. Every wire will be pulled to
bring firms and men into line.
Position of Miners officials.
The position Of the miners officials in
this new phase of the strike situation is
queer. President Ratchford will have
nothing to do with it. He has persist
emily refused to come to Pittsburg for
conference. In his communications
with the district officials he has said he
did not believe \it could be brought
about, and he has otherwise thrown
cold water on the scheme. President
Dolan and Secretary Warner have cut
loose from the national and propose to
give it their hearty support.
Mr.. De Armitt, in naming the list OF
operators in the Pittsburg district, has
included those with mines Oh the Penn.
sylvania road in the 5O-mile limit. He
will undertake to secure their signatures
to the document, but those whom he
cannot get to sign, he believes some
agreement can be reached with them
whereby they will not compete for the
<Western trade.
=, Governor Hastings has signed the
weighing bill introduced by Represent
ative McWhinney of Homestead, COM
pelling operators to pay for coal mined
before screened, which is known as run
of mine coal. This removes one clause
from the uniformity agreement, as uni
form screens was one of the leading
features. The operators will have their
attorneys review the law to ascertain if
it is constitutional, and it will play an
important part in the agreement with
the operators, who, almost to man,
ere opposed to it.

CAUGHT THREE CUB BEARS.
A Lively Time Hunting Wild Animals
in the Niids of Monroe.

1t is not often that we have an OppOr-
tunity to chronicle the capture of live
bears in the country herea bouts, says
the Stroudsburg Times, but it has just
happened, nevertheless, and they are
lively little creatures at that.
A few days ago Henry Ace, Samuel
Strunk and George Miller, each armed
with an axe, went forth in search of
lumber i'm the Resica district While
travelling around Ace suddenly cried,
There's bear and upon investiga-
tion it proved to be a fact. About that
instant the bear saw the men and gave
a few angry growls that raised the hats
on their heads through fright. Old
bruin was about as thoroughly fright
ened as the men, and cut through the
brushes in one direction, while the men
e-daddled" as fast as their legs
could carry them in another
When the bear had disappeared and
they We're out Of breath, the men
stopped and held a council of war, and
came to the conclusion to go hunting
for bear instead of timber.
While searching around they found n
nest containing three cub bears. Each
man grabbed a screaming little cub and
started on a run for home. The harder
the cubs screamed the faster the men
ran, knowing that if the old bear
caught up to them there would be a ter
rible battle. They arrived home safely
The bears were caught on the Ben
Hanna Barren near the newly organ
lied Bushkill Rod and Gun association
grounds. The cubs are about five weeks
old and the size of "A cat The little fell
lows are all alive and will be trained
and brought up as good and usefu
bears.
