Democratic support for the pro
tective tariff is one of the causes of
the improved conditions through the
country. Business men who are
constantly studying these condi-
tions are of the opinion that the
tariff bill which has just been
framed will remain ON the statute
books for long time because of the
growth of the protective sentiment
among the Democrats, and that
with its permanency there will be
permanent business prosperity.

No wonder Chairman Butler of
the Populist National Committee re-
jected Mr.. Bryan's 81 500 contribu-
ton to the campaign fund of that
party under the circumstances. The
idea of supposing that so small
a sum would command the Presi-
dental nomination of great party
is preposterous. A man with the
financial wisdom which Mr. Bryan
processes ought to have known bet =

1t is doubtless a great disappoint-
ment to Mr.. Bryan to know that he
is not to figure as the chief of the
silver movement in the next cam
paign But the mine owners who
put up the cash for the silver fight
have decided that man with los

race, and have therefore passed the
word along the line that he is to be
ignored III the future

by which this seemingly never ceaslng
escape Of gas might be stopped; but
the reward is still without a taker and
a column of gas leaping up to the
mountain tops still burns. Like the
sound Of distant waterfall, the roar
ing of the gas as it rusnes from the
huge eight inch pipe may be heard q
distance of five miles.
In this connection, last sp'ing one
Of the most singular phenomena was
witnessed during the high tide in Tug
river. For the first time within the
memory of the oldest inhabitants the
water submerged the gas well, being
seven feet deep over the well, but
this seemed in no way to interfere
with the fame. High above the rush
ing current gas burned like pillar df
fire and thousands came from the sur
rounding country to witness this most
remarkable spectacle.
AL of these features will soon exist
only in memory; even now the main
which is to pipe the vast product to
Catlettsburg, Ironton and other towns
along the Ohio river is on he wy
from the Carnegie factories at Pitts
burg.

was due TO occasional profit taking by
room traders. The offerings on this ac-
count were easily absorbed with only a
momentary halt. after which the rise was
resumed. During the morning the in
fiuence Of buying for London account was
evident. arbitage brokers taking all the
international shares quite freely. London
prices also came higher at the opening.
But before the day was over London had
turned sellers again. and. ii is estimated.
sold 5000 more shares than were bought.
The effect of this selling had no appre-
ciable effect on prices. The low priced
shares OF non-divldend paying stocks were
largely bought by London. and were IA
vorites also in the local speculation, the
argument being that such stocks are
bound to advance IL the promise OF bet
ter times holds good. and If 1t does not
they cannot recede far.
Total sales of stocks to-day were $4,000
shares.

TIE LOCAL RELIEF WORK.

The citizens of Wheeling who are
charitably disposed will not lose any
thing by giving freely to the miners
cause; certainly the conflicting Of COM
mittees have handicapped the general
committee of the city considerably,
especially the one from Elm Grove,
who were the only ones outside Of the
city having proper credentials from
the Trades Assembly 10 solicit in the
country only, but by some mistake
they visited the city and canvassed
some of the business people before the
general committee got started. But
that matter has been adjusted by the
Elm Grove committee returning their
credentials, and have been destroyed.
All will be done by the general COM
mittee hereafter, and everything done
possible to relieve the striking min
ers and their families in this dis
trict, including those at Elm Grove.
All this the committee have to ex-
plain, which is causing considerable
annoyance; but the committee will go
on soliciting, as some Of the miners in
the district are in a starving condition.
The committee will publish in the
daily papers of the city each day all
those contributing anything, unless OBJ
jected TO. when the cash or articles
will be published only. All persons
failing to meet the committee who
wish to give something. will address

NEW YORK, Feb. l1.-One of the
hardest and gamest fights ever seen in
a ring took place this evening at the Polo
Athletic club. The contestants were
Dave sullivan of Boston and Patsy
Haley of Boston. They met for twen-
ty-five round encounter at 115 pounds
and both of them weighed in this after
noon. neither of them turning the scales
at the limit. Haley, at one time looked
like a sure winner, but it was only for
a brief interval, as Sullivan fought like
a bull and was a glutton for punishment.
His arms worked like fails during the
twelfth and thirteenth rounds and Haley
was unable to withstand the assaults
upon him. The "unlucky" thirteenth
round was the last and Haley will have
good cause to remember it. He went
down twice from Sullivan's swings. The
first time down he was nearly counted
out, but saved himself by second. The
second time he went down he lay close
to his corner on the ropes and was un-
