second days session of their national
convention. early today, when the tenn
porary organization was made per-
manent. Chairman lgnatius Donnelly
made another radical speech, denounc-
ing all who co-operated with the fusiol
movements, strongly advocating re-or-
ganization not only for independent
presidential ticket, but for independent
candidates for Congress, state officers,
etc. A letter was read from ex-Gov.
Waite, of Colorado, in which he de-
nounced Senator Butler as treacher-
GUS chairman and false leader, ad
vocating the nomination of straight
populstic tickets for president and
other officers. An elaborate address to

the previous platform of the Populists,
and declares in favor of greenbackism,

the case of a sovereign.

the case of sovereign.
Wilhelmina has been carefully trained
by her mother, the Queen Regent, SO
that the young Queen is fitted by edu-
cation and temperament to carry out
the traditions of her predecessors. She
is an accomplished linguist, and her
other studies have embraced physics,
chemistry, history, jurisprudence, poll
tical economy, military tactics, seaman
ship and theology. She is also an ardent
sportswoman and a great rider. Per
sonally the young queen is very charm
ing. She is of medium height, and in
clined toward plumpness. Her manner
Is gay and her conversation clever. The
Hollanders are extremely proud of her.
Wilhelmina is the only daughter Of
King William III.
AMSTERDAM, Sept Elm her speech,
the Queen said: shall pledge myself
to the Netherlands to maintain their
rights and privileges. The public ut
terance of the Queen was listened to
with profound emotion. The Queen
recited, in clear tones, the oath to up
hold the constitution, defend the inde-
pendence of the country, and TO pro-
tect the liberty Of her subjects, using
therefor all legal means, "as good
king should" ,.1.

CANEA, Island of Crete, Sept. g.
Gambia is being bombarded. The Brit
ish troops, which have been acting as
police since the Greek war, are lighting
the Mussulmans. Riots are in progress;
fires have broken out in various parts
of the city; Mussulmans started the
disturbances. Crowds, supposedly un-
armed, assembled in the principal
square to protest against the fayoritism
which they allege the powers are show
ing to Christians. They threaten to
burn the houses and destroy the prop
erty OF the Christians, unless the state
of affairs complained of shall be rem
edied. The Turkish governor offered
to help the British.

THE LITTLE QUEEN.
She Was Enthroned To-day
Amidst The Widest Enthu-
siasm of Her People.
IpRETrY AND GooD wILHELMINA.

AMSTERDAM, Sept. 6.-The impor-
tant ceremonies enthroning Qneen Will
ihslmina, who came of age August 81,
took place today. BY 10 o'clock the
centre of the Damplatz was cleared and
the sides were densely thronged. At
1850 the beating of drums and the
blare of trumpets signalled that Queen
WiIhelmina had left the palace. At
that moment the sun burst from the
clouds in brllliancy The young Queen
on foot was the central figure of the
brilliant procession, decked with all the
emblems of royalty.
She was gowned in royal purple and
earried the sceptre. as she entered the
Nieuwer Kirk. She also wore her
crown, which is crimson velvet cap,
encompsssed by a circular golden band,
encrusted with jewels Of various colors
such as emeralds, sapphires and dia-
monds. Fromthis circular band rise six
teen sharp.leaves of GOLD, eight of which
are surmounted by large pearl each,
the other eight being joined together by
golden arches supporting the ball Of
gold which is topped by golden cross.
These eight arches have each nine
pearls aud are intricately ornam -nted.
The scepter, which the Queen bore, is
one metre long exclusive of the cone of
top and is wrought with palmattes a.
l. antique. The ball is antique style and
Is set with precious stones Of different
hues.
The sword of the realm which to-
gether with other insignia of the Queens
rank, was placed on red clothed table,
II an ancient blade. The middle of the
handle is covered with crimson velvet.
The cone and the cross above it are set
with jewels. The standard of the realm
is fixed to golden spear, and the coat
of arms on it was painted by Van
Hove.
The rumor is revived here, and it is
generally believed. that her majesty is
to be betrothed to Prince Louis Ma
poleon, the fayorite son of Prince Je-
rome Napoleon. The gossipers insist
that the young queen has had more
than one affair of the heart. Six years
ago when she was in Berlin it was re-
ported that she was betrothed to Prince
Frederic, elder son of Albrecht, Regent
Of Brunswick Atthe age Of fifteen il
uas again rumored that she had beer
captiyated by the crown Prince oi
Prussia. Two years ago it was reported
that she was engaged to Prince Bernard
OF SAKE Weimar
The Hollanders do not want theIl
Queen to marry for several years yet
: prince consort would not be accepta
bIe 10 them just now. They think thal
their Queen should not marry until shl
s st least twenty-fonr or twenty -1yt
years old. This sentiment is perhaps
due to the fact that the Dutch boys anf
girls, according 10 the custom Of ths
country, do not become Of age unit
they are twenty-three years. The con
etIIutiOn makes Al exception only II

MONEY, STOCKS AND BONDS.
THE BEARS AGAIN IN CONTROL AND
ALL STOCKS GO DOWN.
Trading Feverish and the Day One of
Much Excitement, Owing to h
Blowing Up of the Maine-
Bonds Heavy.

The past week developed little new in the money
market of the country. The supply OF funds contin-
ues in excess Of the demand. both East and west.
Never before has there been so much IDLE money IN
the country as now. At the same time loans are
larger than this time last year. New York continues
TO gain funds from the country without affecting
rates at Interior points. Call money is very abundant
and cheap in New York as a result of an accumula-
tion OF bank balances there. such loans being made
on the Stock exchange during the week as low as
lGll: per cent. The New York bank statement Sat
urday showed an increase in loans for five days last
week Saturday being a holiday Of 1886. 600, in spe-
Gle of 1873. 500, in deposits Of 81, S55, 800, but a decrease
in legal tenders Of 2,Olo, 600. and in the surplus re-
serve of s~2,3ii,5I5, making 1t now 81. Al, go IN excess
of the % per cent rule. In commenting upon TINS
statement the New York Financier says:
The most interesting feature OF the statement.
for the week was 81. 1870. 500. which is the first shrink
age since the enormous inward flow which marked the
end Of December and the first week OF January. At
the beginning OF this year the excess reserve OF the
banks was SIS, 500. 900. 1t is now said to be So, 49,
O5O. an increase OF over Sic, 6S7. 900. In the same pc
Rod loans have expanded over 49,, 900. 900. and de-
posits s63. 200. 600. Thus. while the loan increase has
been far above the normal. 1t was impossible to make
use OF all the money going into banks"
Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore also report
plenty OF money and an easy feeling. In the West
the situation is also favorable to borrowers. Chicago.
st. Louis and Kansas City all report plenty OF funds
and but little new demand. While loans are larger
than a year ago. the supply OF funds Is also much
greater.
Here at Kansas City some little cattle paper is
being had from the yards. and rediscounts from the
country, but general borrowing lighter than usual
ming down and balances increasing. Rates. however.
are held steady at IaS per cent. But little currency
going to the country. Bank clearings for the week

Stocks and Bonds.

New York. Feb. 16.-Trading was remarkably few
erish on the Stock exchange to-day and all interest
centered in the disaster to the Maine In Havana
harbor, and in the possible international conse-
quences. 1t cannot be said that the varying phases
OF the speculation during the day represented any
change OF opinion as to the very grave possibilities
with which the disaster is pregnant. The occasional
checks to downward course of prices were rather the
results OF questions in the minds OF large operators
as to their ability TO hold the market. or the best
ings. Twice during the day very powerful support
and to combat the successful raid OF the bears. That
there was very large short selling during the day
was evident from the strength Of the rallies caused
by the covering of shorts when the turning point
at the low level was reached. This was particularly
noticeable in some of the greatest favorites of re-
cent speculation which have been pushed up to
prices hardly warranted by their intrinsic value.
The knowledge possessed by the bears of very heavy
speculative holdings in those stocks covered by light
margins gave them confidence in fercely selling
them down. The support of the bulls no sooner
effected a check to the decline than realizing offers
began to come out again. There was an abundant
stipply OF long stock fed into the market all day
long and II was evident that the bulls had aban-
