PURE FOOD CONVENTION.
1t Will Be Held on the Last Friday
In April, In the Morning.

In April, In the Morning.
An important conference OF the board Of
directors of the Manufacturers and Pro-
ducefs' Association with tho pure food
committee of the Council of Associated
Mills bull ding. The purpose was to fix
the time and place for holding the pure
food convention which has been called by
the association named. It was decided
to hold the convention on the last Friday
in April, at 10 o'clock, in the Cham Der of
Commerce Hall, it the hall can be OBJ
tanned.
The following committees were selected: !:
Subjects and speakers, B. w. Rowley NJ.
J. Keller and L. R. Mead; publications,
J. A. Filcher, j. W. Kerr and A. Sbar boro; ;
invitation and correspondence, Isador
Jacobs, Charles r. Allen and w. f. Bow
ers; transportion, Julian Sonntag, the
chairman, who will act with the foregoing
committees, which were given full power
to act.
N.An invitation from the Board of Health
was read in which it stated that all the
leading associations of the City will meet
in the board rooms in the City Hall on
next Friday evening and requesting the
association to send representatives. The
subject of enforcing the pure-food or
dinance will then be discussed.
President SOnntag stated that there
is one of the associations that is endeavor-
ing to have the prosecution of such cases
postponed thirty or forty days, so that
those who are now violating the law may
have chance to dispose of their stock of
adulterated goods. That body asserts
that speedy prosecution OF those cases
would work hardship on the dealers.
Isador Jacobs said that the purpose of the
proposed delay is to let the dealers relabel
their goods, SO that the public may not
know the contents Of packages. 1t was de-
cided that the entire board of directors
should be at the Board of HeaIth's meet
ing.
Mr.. Sonntag brought up the matter OF
the petition presented, or to be presented,
to the Supervisors, asking that the rail-
road ,ickei-scalpers' ordinance, granting
license 10 carry on that business, be re-
voked. He said that the railroad COM
pany will refuse to grant special rates 70
excursionisis to the carnival of the Golden
Gate and Christian Endeavor convention
if the scalpers are permitted to operate in
the railroads conces sion. 1t was decided
to authorize Mr.. Sonntag to sign the petit
tion for the two bodies asking the Super
visors to at least temporarily revoke the
scaIpers' license ordinance. These licenses
will expire on April /, and they shoulu
not be renewed, was the expression OF
those present.

General Porter,s Story of Grant.

General Horace Porter, in the January
Century, tells this anecdote of General
Grant: IA drum corps in passing caught
sight OF the general. and at once struck up
a then popular negro camp-meeting air.
Every one began to laugh and Rawlins
cried: Good for the drummers! What's
the fun?' inquired the general. 'Wny,'
was the reply. they are playing, "Ain't 1
glad to get out of de wilderness!" The
general smiled at the ready wit of the
musicians and said: Well. with me
musical joke always requires explanation.
/ know only two tune. One is "Yankes
Doodle" and the other isn't" The late
George w. ChilGs in his photography
tells the climax of this story in some
what different form. He heard it from
Grant some years after he had become
celebrated, and by that time the general
was accustomed to Say that the only tunes
he knew were two: "One is Hail to the
Chief and the other isn't General
Porter's reminiscence shows that Grant
probably originated this pleasantly at an
early age, aud carried 1t through life,
adapting it to circumstances as he moved
from obscurity to fame.

lengthy bills for the publication of the
ballot, party conventions and general
elections, and prescribing severe pen
alties for violation. A registration law
has been started in the senate and will
become a law It is evident that
large majority of the bills introduced
are destined to become laws, as the
Populists are in earnest as to giving
the people a new deal all around.
The proposed repeal of the charities
and corrections law and the enactment
OF a new law is for the purpose of Civ
ing the governor an opportunity to
make some fifty appointments. The
bill to fix salaries of states attorneys
will increase the compensation Of these
officers from 25 to so per cent, and the
bill creating the office of game warden
in each county will involve an ex-
penditure of $40, 500 for salaries. These
game wardens, although their salaries
are to be paid by their respective
counties, are to be appointed biennial
ly. by the governor and the bill pro-
Vides places for fifty-tWo good Pops.
In the house, bills have been intro

railroads at three cents per mile, regu-

panies, and declaring the maximum

an effort to postpone further consider
alton of the bill for twenty days. Con-
tTary to expectations the railroad COM
mittee, after considering Palmer's rail-
road bill for two hours, postponed their
report till Monday.
In the senate today the principal bill
was the capitol removal. A fight was
looked for on this and came on mo-
ton to postpone two weeks, which was
lost by a vote of % to IA, and the bill
takes it's regular course. In both
houses the governor presented mes
se,ges asking the legislature to take the
necessary action to secure an account

trCduced. Both Populists and Republi-
cans held caucuses tonight, but moth

Of theoretical discussion. The enormous
increase in deposits and in cash hold
ings has been eqUalled only once and
that was for the week ending Nov Il,
succeeding election. These exceptional
gains, it is needless 10 say were the
results of the January dividend pay
ments, the continued flow of money to
this center and the large increase in
for this money, the usual winter gold
exports having been postponed. the
total cash gain appears much larger
than during any previous year.
The expansion of deposits, unaccom-
panied by an increase in loans, as is
usually the case, also shows clearly the
source of the accumulation, and the re-
suit of the weeks operation has been
to increase by $40, 704,7 700 the idle cash
in the New York banks, bringing the
total reserve up to $43, ,991 ,450, which is
larger than for two years past It is
only logic, therefore, to look for q con
t1nued low money market and higher
rates for foreign exchange, the cOndf-
tions favoring both circumstances.
1t was from almost similar causes that
the large sterling loans were made in
this market recently, and if money
rates abroad go higher, as appears
probable, some interesting develop
ments may be expected to result. The
large gains reported for the current
week were foreshadowed in this anaIy-
SIS not long since, but the very great
increases have surpassed all expecta-
tions, and it becomes interesting, there
fore, to watch how the banks will en-
deavor to employ some Of their sur
plus funds, and whether Europe will
not endeavor to benefit through the op-
portunity presented.

PACIFIC SYNDICATE
Ready to Act If the Funding Dill

NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-The latest de-
Velopment in regard to the Union Pa
clf1c affairs is the formation Of q new
syndicate, comprising practically all of
the leading banking houses here and
representatives Of foreign banking in
terests, to take measures for the nrO-
lection OF the property in the event OF
the failure of the funding bill. or a

If the funding bill should not be

ready to buy in the system and paw
off the government lien. If the funding

scrfptions will, Of course, be largely re-
dUced. No formal limit of time as to
the duration of the syndicate agree
ment has been made, but it IS tacitly
understood that it's operation ternf-
mates at the close of the present ses-
sion of congress. If no action has been
taken one way or the other in this ses-
sion, new agreement will be formed

The bill for the removal of the capi-
tol from Pierre to Huron has stirred
up the people Of Pierre to vigorous ac-
ton, and this measure has for the pres
ent over-shodoWed even the senatorial
question. The situation has assumed
a serious phase for Pierre, although her
citizens profess to be sanguine of the
defeat Of the measure. The bill pro-
vides that the question to be submit

whether the capitol shall be permanent
ly located at Pierre or Huron.
Judge Palmer has, by his monopoly

kYLE's BLACK HILLS BOOM.
1t Meets a Sudden Frost While Quite
Tender.

DEADWOOD, S. D., Jan. "a strong
effort was made last night to give
Kyle's senatorial boom boost, and to
that end runners had been out all week
arranging for a meeting to be held
here as a sort of offset to the Plowman
meeting of a week ago. Representa-
tives were present from almost every
town in the Hills, and from the point
of numbers the meeting was a success.
Resolutions were drawn up indoors
ing Kyle's candidacy, and then, by an
almost unanimous vote of the meeting
they were tabled. Despite the efforts of
Knowles and a few others to keep it
in check, the Plowman sentiment was
so strong that it burst all bounds and
the Hills man certainly received the
Endorsement of the Kyle meeting.

the protracted contest, and protecting
the government. Mr.. Dockery Oem..
MOI urged that congress had not been
given the full financial statement as
to this settlement, which would war
rant its adoption. Mr. Arnold CRep.,
Pa.) said that unless this settlement
was made the next administration
would be compelled either to issue $780,
CO0,OG0 bonds to pay off mortgages or
else throw up all it's liens.
Mr.. Hilbon (Rep., Cal) contended
that in the pending proposition an old
overland branch of the Central Pa
cific, now abandoned, was included,
instead of the new branch. He also in
sisted that a ferry, which was included
as valuable asset, was in fact dis
posed of by the road. Mr. Powers dis
puted the correctness of Mr.. Hilborn's
statement and said no sales as indicat-
ed had been made.
AT this point the two substitute
propositions of Mr. Harrison of Ala
bama, and Mr.. Bell, of Colorado, were
submitted The features OF these sub
stitutes have been heretofore outlined
Mr.. Henderson said he tried to view the
claim as one of his own, and to act
as though his own interest was in
VolVed. He believed foreclosure meant
complete loss of the government debt,
while compromise on the lines of the
bill gave the hope of saving all or most
of the debt. Mr.. Mcguire Oem, Cal)
denounced the pending measure as the
worst one on this subject ever present
ed to congress. 1t was far worse, he
said, than the Reilly bill, which the
house defeated two years ago. Mr..

BOISE Idaho, Jan. 9.-There seems to be
a determined effort on the part of the leaders
of the Populist and Democratic forces to beat
Senator Dubois. Yesterday a bill was passed
in the senate by the Populist and Democratic
vote to take the power of appointing county
attorneys out of the hands of the county
commissioners, where it has hitherto be-
longed, and place 1t in the hands of the
governor. The animus of this is to increase
