. Frankfort, KY, April 2. The Black
burn forces are beginning to believe
there will be no election of a United
States senator at the extra session and
they will fight accordingly. There
seems to be only two chances for an
election; first, that the gold democrats
force the silver democrats to carry out
their bluff to elect Bradley; and sec-
ond, that Senator Henry L. Martin,
gold democrat, is put through as
compromise candidate.
Hunter has given out the following
statement: II was fairly nominated
In republican caucus. in which
nearly all of the republican members
participated. shall remain the nom-
inee for senator until the nomination
is withdrawn from me by a majority

The silver democrats prevented a
quorum at today's joint session. Only
65 members, including gold democrats,
answered to their names. One ballot
was taken. i resulted: Hunter 55;
Davie Z, Boyle l. The silver demo-
Gratis and two others refused to an
swer to their names.
The Hunter people said the reason
the opposition broke a quorum was
that they feared some more members
were comiug to Hunter today. The
real reason was that the gold demo-
Gratis were about to spring the ma me
of Senator II. L. Martin, and the
Blackburn people were afraid of the
risk at this juncture.
After the joint session, nator
Martin said that the movemNht to
make him a candidate was wholly un-
authorized.

Savannah, Dec. 31.-The year ended with
fairly satisfactory trade in the leading
departments. The cotton market has
gradually declined since the opening Of the
season last September, and during the
past two weeks, reached the lowest notch.
Sases Of spots have not been unusually
large, as many factors refused 10 part
with their holdings at the declining prices.
The movement Of cotton to this port has
been materially Increased since the Cot
ton Exchange committee investi-
gated the cause of the discrimination
against Savannah, early in the season. The
total receipts for the season shows an in
crease of nearly 10000 bales over last year.
The naval stores trade has been active
during the entire year. I'ae price Of spir-
It's turpentine has been low. In fact, dur
Ing the past summer it reached the lowest
price in the history Of the trade. The year
closes with the price 2i2c lower than last
year. The receipts since Apri ! were
W7,sO5 casks. against 2S5,3A for the same
period last year.
Rosin was in good demand during the
year, particularly in the common grades.
Prices ranged low for the pale and medium
grades but the low grades were about so
per cent. higher than the preceding year.
The receipts since April were 946,1Gl bar
rels. against 922, ,653 barrels for the same
period last year.
The lumber trade for the past year was
quite active. The exports exceeded those
of the previous year by about 35,OO0O0
feet, prices ranged about the same as the
previous year but the tone of the market
was decidedly hrmer
The latter part of the year just past was
active in the general wholesale markets.
The grocery business was steady and
prices on staples were materially increas-
ed during the past three months Hard
ware trade was entirely satisfactory to
dealers and the volume of business was
considerably Increased over last years.
The fall trade in dry goods was OF a most
satisfactory order and prices were well
maintained. Collections were fairly good.
Altogether the year ends with a decided
Increase in the volume OF trade in the
different departments and the new year
will open with even brighter prospects for
the future.

the doorstep. Then she said, very
gravely:
Look here, Hiram. Once you said
you wanted to be well so that you could
do brave things. Perhaps it's ordered
that you'll have to be brave in another
way-brave to bear instead of brave to
do"
Hiram understood. His sharp little
features grew pale in the twilight; but
not a complaint, not cry. not even n
sigh escaped his lips.
Alvira and Hiram did not talk any
more about DR.. Delmore, but the girl
did not cease to think of him. While
her busy fingers plucked the wild
blackberries that grew in the woods
and the thickets, her brain was busy
with devices for reaching the grel:

her computing "sum" that was not
in the arithmetic with stumpy lead
pencil ON the margin Of newspaper.
She never finished this sum quite 10 her
satisfaction, but she often looked up
from her work with hopeful express

Of the hill opposite to their house, she
heard the sharp clatter of horse oOfs
on the stony road leading past the
bridge.
The sound became more and more
distinct, until presently the girl caught
sight of runaway horse dragging a
carriage. Evidently the rider had been
thrown from his seat, and the occu-
pant Of the vehicle was powerless TO
help himself.

horses, for she often drove Mrs. Cap

it would. The frightened horse leaped
to the other side of the road and tried
to shake off the unexpected obstruction
to his vision.
Alvira had just grasped the bride
when the door Of the carriage opened,
and a well-dressed man came out and
hurried to her relief.

In the night the gun went off. the re-

RESOLUTIONS Concerning the FOresi

Salem, Or, Jan, l9.-At a meeting
OF the North Pacific Sheepbreeders
and Woolgrowers' Association, held a,

from the president, Hon. John Mimic,
the following resolutions were unani-
mously adopted:
Whereas, The congress of the
United States has authorized the presi-
dent to proclaim as forest reserve
1900, 900 acres of the Cascade range OF
mountains, extending in an unbroken
body across the state of Oregon, there

state; and
Whereas, This immense body OF
land has been placed under the care OF
the department of the interior, to be
protected from the injury of it's forest
growth by the aid of the United States
district court and by it's officers, and
citizens of the United States, residents
of Oregon, have been arrested and put

Resolved, These prosecutions OF
stockowners, whose stock has in past
years ranged on the mountains of Ore

ground of injury done by such grazing;
that we, as citizens of the United
States, residing in Oregon, claim all
the right of the citizens OF other states
to the full benefit of the use of the
public domain, and of the general land
laws of the national government, and
believe it an oppression, unjust as well
as unnecessary, to harrass stockmen by
trials in the United States court for
acts of technical trespass, where benefit
rather than damage has been done;
that we heartily indorse the concurrent
resolution introduced by Senator Null
key, in the present legislative assembly
of Oregon; that we are unanimously in
favor of the restoration of reasonable
tariff duty on wool, adequate for the
encouragement of woolgrowing, and
also favor an import duty being placed

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER
Downing. Hopkins 4 Co"nanv's Review
OF Trade.

The past week has proved an I'M
teady one in the wheat markets.
While there has been no weakening in
he basic position of wheat, and while,
indeed, the position today is stronger
han a week since, the bears have upon
;wo or three occasions raided the mar
sets and broken prices. To our minds
these fluctuations prove nothing against
the deal. We don't know but prices
will be lower, and are not talking about
what will be the results, but we write
If the foundation of the markets, and
dealers must manage the rest. The
winter wheat, usually two-thrds of
the aggregate crop, is depleted to
smaller remains in farmers hands than
for years. Consumption must soon re-
sort to spring wheat, and that reserve
is undoubtedly small. We are break
ing away slowly from foreign prices
and before harvest it will be a home
demand and supply.
According to expert testimony many
Of the believers in wheat who have
been watching the upward march of
values for the past two months have
been rather doubtful of its stability, in
view of the cheapness of other cereals
mi their product. The fact that corn
has entered the list as competitor for
bread consumption led to Il halt in the
advance and many traders were greatly
influenced by this circumstance. The
argument is made that -four is being
adulteratcd to such an extent with corn
meal and the call for corn meal is in
,reasing at such rate that the demand
for cash wheat will gradually become
curtailed, and, with lessening of the
demand, perforcc IL decline in price.
One writer in discussing this phase of
the wheat situation asserts that such II
use for corn meal and other substitu
tons for wheat must be only credited
to restricted areas. The theory adj
vanced is that poor people who would
most likely use this adulterated article
Us II human food do not buy flour, and
hence the first argument falls to the
ground
