were dominant in the convention, how.
ever, and while they endeavored to
keep factional differences in the back
ground. carried all their points While
there was contest on some OF the effi-
GERS, the fight Of the convention was
on the resolutions. Despite the oppo-
sition, however, the original resolu.
tions were adopted. The sections OBJ.
jected to by the Mckinley and Hanna
adherents are as follows:
We indorsc the Cuban resolution introduced
and discussed February Q by Senator Mason In
the United States senate, and hope that 1t will
be promptly approved by the committee on
foreign affairs, passed BY the senate, and ener-
getically carried into effect by our honored
president and to the end that Cuban independ-
ence may quickly become an accomplished
fact without being loaded down by an iniqui-
tous bonded debt
We cordially ndorse every department Of our
state administration, particularly that Of our

the Terms Of Settlement with the New
York Life.
Topeka, Kan, Feb. 12.-Mrs. Sallie
Hillmon may yet be forced to tell the
terms Of her compromise with the New
York Life Insurance company In the
celebrated Hillmon case. A check for
$4,000 was given to the attorneys for

ported that it cost the New York
Life comparatively nothing; that Mrs.
Hillmon settled cheaply with the ex-
pectation that the settlement would
assist her in etfecting a settlement
with the other companies at q good
figure. In the preceding trials Mrs.
Hillmon has pleaded poverty and was
not compelled to give bond for costs.
When the suits against the two re.
naming companies are called for trial

have her put up bond, and II she re-
ceived the amount claimed from the
New York Life she will be amply able

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE bureau
Of labor has begun study Of the eco

Farmville, in southern Virginia, was
selected as the place for the first Of
these Investigations DR.. Burghardt

Commissioner Carroll D. Wright He
spent two months in Farmville, lived
with the colored people, joined in their
social life, and visited their homes
His conclusions have been submitted
to the commissioner and are interest.
ing. Farmville is the center of half a
dozen agricultural counties The
population is about $500, three.fifths
negro, and presents typical conditions
for such an investigation. The most
striking fact brought out with clear
ness by the inquiry, is ''the growing
differentiation Of classes among ne
grOes, even in small communities. !"
Between the 40 families Of the best
class Of negroes and the so families Of
the slums, Farmville has ITO families,
the mass Of the negro population,
which must be considered a middle
class. "This class" DR.. Dubois says,
"is composed Of working people, do.
nestle servants, factory hands, porters
and the like. They are happy minded,
sympathetic people, teachable and
faithful At the same time they are
not very energetic or resourceful and
lack push. They have but recently
become used to responsibility and their
moral standards have not yet acquired
that fixed character and superhuman
sanction necessary in new people,"

commercial report says:
A number Of favorable circumstances and
events present themselves this week Perhaps
the most notable OF these are the renewed NC
tivity and confidence in the iron and steel mar
ket accompanied by prompt and even rapid
advances In several grades Of crude pig iron
and steel and the advance In the price Of raw
cotton, long predicted but unrealized until the
present week. What might be regarded as Q
minor feature In the business situation, though
Vt the same time conveying much that Is hope
full To the interest involved, Is quite general
improvement In distributive trade and demand
In the central west and in the south. where
spring trade Is reported opening In good shape
Less favorable features Of the week are the
slowness Of spring trade In dry goods to de-
velop at New York and other eastern centerA
except Boston, and the mild weather In the
northwest rendering 1t likely that retailers
stocks carried over will be larger than earlier
expected Although the advance In cotton has
been claimed to be too rapid it has undoubtedly
impaired o much more cheerful tone to thu
southern business situation and with tiie 40
vance In iron and steel has done much ta add
TO the confidence with which the trade outlook
for 1893 Is regarded.
