The executive committee of the State
Grange will meet in Augusta next Fri
day to consider matters pretaining to the
next annual session, the place Of which
has already been fixed at Augusta. The
closing of the Augusta House curtails
the hotel accommodations of the city, a
circumstance which is taking the atten-
ton of the committee. 1t is not be-
lieved however, that any change in the
place OF meeting will be made.

There was larger supply of cattle on
the market than there has been for some
weeks, but not an over supply of good
stock. Shippers were on the market
looking for choice stock and picked up
about II head at 445c. Local slaugh-
terers were free buyers and one feeder
bought about 80 head Of / and 2-year-
dds averaging about 500 lbs each. at

Swine-The offerings of hogs were not
heavy, but enough business was done to
show a marked weakness in the market.
The sales We're all made al prices rang
ing from 4Q4l4C. No western hogs were
offered.
Veal calves Calves were in good de-
mand. While the market was In reality
no stronger than last week, the quality
of the stock offered was better and
prices ruled a little higher in conse-
quence. Local dealers paid full prices
very freely FOR he best stock offered but
would only buy lower grades a their own

to the average and a clearance was made
early.
Sheep and lambs-The receipts of east
ern lambs were heavy and prices were
rather lower Receipts have been very
heavy in Chicago during the past week,
and this is affecting values, but local
dealers are not buying in the west de-

1--WE appeal, in the name of local pride
and of bitter experience, for a compro'
mise of the Republican organization and
the Citizens Union on mayorality can
didate while there is yet time" The
Mail and Express doubtless voices the
wish of large per cent of the reputable
people of Greater New York and if they
could have their way Mr.. Low and Mr..
Tracy would soon be removed and a
candidate nominated who had not iden-
tilted himself prominently with either
OF the warning factions and upon whom
all the reputable elements could unite.
But affairs are in such condition now,
so much feeling has been aroused be-
tween the leaders of the various factions
that the withdrawal of any candidate
appears to be out of the question. They
seem to have taken leave of common
political sense.

The returns of foreign trade for the
last fiscal year show that our exports of
steel are growing in value. In steel rails
alone there has been an increase over
that of 1896 in the quantity exported
from "a, ,263 tons to 107 891 tons, while
the value which in 1895 was $40, 767
reached in the fiscal year ending last
June the amount of 2,4S2, POS. One
tenth of the total production of steel
rails by American mills for the year was
sent abroad. This indicates that steel
rails can be made cheaper in this coun-
try than in any other country or cheaper
than they have heretofore been able to
make them in any other.
Senorita Cisneros, the fair Cuban
young lady who has become quite noted
of late, through confinement in a Spanish
prison, near Havana and escaping there
from has arrived in New York on the
steamer, Seneca. The name under
which she took passage was Juan Sola.
When she left the Seneca her wardrobe
was meagre, being attired in a red
crepon dress without wrap or hat and
she is said to have had no baggage of
any description. She was met in the
harbor by friends on tug and, as soon
as quarantine was off the steamer, was
escorted to the city. She suffered from
seasickness during the whole voyage.
Those who so warmly espoused her
cause are doubtless much pleased at her
safe arrival in this country.

1T has been predicted that Africa
would be the theater of the gfent gtruga
gle between, says the Lyrchburg Ad-
vance, European powers in the next cen
tury, as America was in the last two cen
turies. Bishop HarteiL ofthe Methodist
Episcopal church, after a close observa-
tion of the situation, indorses the opin-
ion. There are already signs ofthe COM
ing trouble. Germany watching Brit
ish progress in Africa with jealous eye
and only wants pretext to in
terfere in order to stop that prog
ress. The French are continually
encroaching on the sphere of British in
fluences. aud though the French govern
ment disowns the acts Of overzealous
French officers, still the government
holds whatever they acquire. Africa is
rich prize, and English, Germans and
French, to say nothing of Italians, will
all seek to gain as large a slice of the
continent as possible. 1t requires no
prophetic powers to predict that Eng
land will outstrip all her rivals in the
race. She has a firm foothold now both
In Egypt and south Africa, and every
year is acquiring additional territory.
England is the great colonizer of the
age and her great naval power will
give her an immense advantage in the
coming struggle.

and Sixth street, on which is cut 80
miles to p" The stone, saysthePhii-
adelphia Bulletin, which is of granite,
is about 80 inches high, 5 inches thick
and 12 inches in width. 1t has not suf-
fered from the ravages of age. but bears
in several places the result of vandal-
ism, although it is guarded by two
brass cannon, metal dog, and over it
floating from flagstaff is "Old Glory"
The guardians nre the property of Gen.
D. b. Birney post GO, G. A. r., the com
rades of which keep the triangular
piece of ground in a slightly and good
condition.. The stone has been there
for many years, how long no person re-
siding in the neighborhood can say,
while one man snys that it has been
there more than half century.
1t is evident that it was erected when
Philadelphia was not of such an eN-
tensive area as at present. and was
placed there to direct persons com
ing III from the country and show them
that they had only two miles further
to travel before reaching Market street.
The stone may haze been there for
over two centuries, as in 1852 the bcuu-
daries of the city were declared to be
Vine street and Cedar street TO the
north and south and the Delaware and
Schuylllill rivers to the east and west.
In 1853 the number of houses was onsy
1890 and the population about $4,000,
In 1904 the city was divided into ten
wards, which division continued up to
1900, and then the city did not reach
much further south than Spring Gar
den street.

north of Japan, says the Chicago Re-
cord, a few. years ago this was only a
little barren struggling town of a few
thousand inhabitants, most Of whom
were Chinese fishermen, who lived in
the deepest poverty. Now il is a rapid
ly growing city of more than 10000 in
habitants, and it will soen become one
of the great ports and naval stations of
the world. Last week the cornerstone
of the new Russian public works was
laid with great ceremony. taa
The Importance of Vladisyosteck lies
in the fact that it is the terminus of the
Truns-Siberian railroad. which runs
from Russia, distance of over 5000
miles, across the barren stretches of ST.
IBERIA. When completed II will have cost
over $175,0o0,o 900. making it one of the
greatest business enterprises Of mod
ern times. This railroad will give
Russia great port on the Pacific ocean
and enable her TO develop the rich coal
and iron mines Of her vast territory
all of which will add TO the Importance
of the new city. Vladisvostook is also
well located for fortress, and it is ex.
pected that Russia will arm h,and make
tia base of supplies for her ships. Tive
