PHILADELPHIA, Dec 30-John Wanna
| maker, who is opposing Boise PEN
rose for the seat in the United States
senate now occupied by Mr.. Ca meron,
was interviewed last night on the sit
| nation of the campaign, which is one
of the bitterest known to Pennsylvania
politics He began with the state
ment: If the next four years don't
give good times to the United States,
the new century will usher in changes
that will be severely felt in the most
remote corner of the world Pennsyl-
vania's responsibility in the admins
tration of national affairs is thrown
upon her congressman and two sena-
tors The terms of these senators ex-
pire, one at the beginning and the
other during President McKinley's adj
ministration. and as the time APP
proaches to fill the next vacancy some
of those who labored necessarily to de-
feat the nomination of Mckinley and
carried the vote of Pennsylvania in the
convention against him are assuming
to dispense the federal patronage in
advance of his Inauguration, in order
to influence the votes of the mem bers
of the LEGISLATURE Concerning ma
tional issues. hesaid he favored a tariff
high enough to remunerate manufac-
turers SO that they may be able to keep
Gil DlOyeS gong Tue Iu1l week at ROOu
wages, and to exclude everything we
can grow or make in this country. He
declared the Wilson bill had destroyed
labor in America, and that the working
people were the first sufferers from i'm
portati tons He advocated a greatly
restricted immigration law, and as
serted his unalterable opposition to
any tampering with the monetary sys-
tenn, which would tend to destroy the
nations credit or depreciate the coin.
MUCH GRAIN GOING TO THE SOUTH.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Dec. 3o.-Rail-
roads are having more than the usual
difficulty in furnishing enough cars
for the grain that is going south at
present There is large shortage in
the grain crops of Texas this year, and
this is one of the causes for the in
creased southern business in grain.
The greatest reason for the increase,
however. is the fact that the gulf ports
are rapidly becoming the great export
ing points for grain In the month of
November there was more grain ex-
ported from New Orleans than from
any city in the country by 400, 900 bush
els. Over 3,OoO,o 900 bushels of it left
the port of New Orleans for foreign
countries. The ronds running out of
Kansas City to the south are taking
out about 100 cars of grain every day,
and the present indications are that
the movement will keep up for some
time.
IMMIGRANTS FOR CoRBIN's COLONY.
NEW YORK, Dec 3O.-Austin Corbin,
several months before he died, founded
an agricultural colony near Helena,
Ark. Yesterday, when Inspector NJ. J.
Renick, of the contract labor bureau,
boarded the Kaiser Wilhelm II. he
found 800 Italians-men, women and
Authenticated to Arkansas. He
also found that each adult had a COL
lection of seeds, vines, shrubs and roots,
and also a stock OF agricultural i'm Pile
ments- He telephoned to Ellis island
and was instructed to land the colony
over there. Meantime word came from
Washington that the colonizers were
to be admitted, as they were in no
wise vio1ators of the contract labor
law
