TO REVOLT AGAINST M'KlN. LEY AND THE REPUB-
 LlCAN PARTY.
OPPOSED TO IMPERIALISM
Movement Started in Boston and Will Be Spread Wherever it
 is Possible.

Boston, July 15.-The Post will say tomorrow An uprising of the colored race against the administra. tion at Washington IS being organ. ized in Boston. This is the seat of the movement that is proposed wherever the colored people are populous. The instigators assert that it will mean the downfall of Mckinley, imperialism and the re. publican party. The oblect of this organization is a revolt at the ballot box.
 But there are those among its supporters who would willingly take part in an armed uprising and who, were it possible, would offer their strength to aid the Filipinos in their struggle for independence.
 On Monday evening the first meet ing of the Boston colored auxiliary of the National Anti-Imperialist League will be held in St. Paurs Baptist church, Fremont and Cam den streets. Dr. Jeremiah Wilye of Washington, a writer of negro sui frages and president of the auxilia- ry movement, came from the seat of government last week and had sey- eral conferences with Edward At kinson and Irving Winslow, prepar- atory to the work of organization. It has now been decided to establish these branches all oyer the land. It is said that the support of almost the entire colored population will be given to the movement.

BRYAN'S STRENGTH
Has Been shown By Canvass of
 New York.

Washington, July 16.-While the committee has corresponded with Democrats all over the country, the most systematic endeayor to learn she. popular feeling was made in New York State. Several thousand circular letters were sent, and, greatly to the surprise of the Demo cratic managers, responses were received from 90 per cent of the persons to whom the inquiries were directed. A greater degree of grat- ifcation was afforded by the charae- ter of the replies, which showed that the sediment of fully 75 per cent of the democrats in New York State north of the Harlem river was favorable to the reafhrmation of the Chicago platform and th6 renomi- nation of Bryan.
 These answers, which have all been carefully filed, assure the mem eers of the committee that the Ne York delegation next spring, ou side of the comparat Vply few dee gates controlled by Croker iu New York City, will be spontaneous'y y for Bryan

CORNSTALKS IN WARSHIPs
special Correspondence of the Graphic:

 Special Correspondence of the GraDhic
 ORACLE, Ariz, July 13.-It has been since the war that cotton seed became commodity of commerce. Prior to that time the seed were left in piles to rot in the field or were burned Now the Southern cotton planter finds ready market for his cotton seed every year at prices ranging from $8 to $14 per ton. The cotton seed oil industry has now become one of tbe leading industries of tue South, and the products of cotton seed-meal, oil, etc. ,-are leading articles of export. In fact, the uses of cotton seed have become So numerous that it's manu- facture is quite profitable busl- ness. Millions of dollars are now invested Tn Southern cotton oil mills, and millions of dollars are paid annually to agriculturists in the South for their cotton seed.

and in 1897 built an immense plant at Owensboro, Ky for the mana- facture of cellulose. The Marsden Company now has three cellulose factories, and is making arrange
 ments to establish the fourth one in Kansas. The fac orY at Owens boro, however, is the only one at present of any magnitude. The D process for making cellulose was kept secret for sometime but now special machinery has been iavented for it's manufacture and the doors Of the mills are now open tolhe public.

Now, another source of revenue to the farmers is being developed. In she past cornstalks have been cut down and left to mould and rot in the field. as was formerly the case with cotton seed. 1n the Western States of Kansas aud Nebraska eornstalks were used as fuel for heating purposes. But in the future corrstalks will have positive com mereial value, and vii realize the farmer frIm $3 to $4 per ton,
 This is the result of discovery some two or three years ago by a Mr. Marsden, of Mars5en, Indiana landing on the Ohio river few miles above Owensboro, Ky, who discovered that the pith from corn stalks makes an excellent ceAulose.

LARGEST IN THE WORLD.
Chicago Furniture House Has Fur

Chicago Furniture House Has Fur
nished Nearly a Million Homes.
To be the largest furniture house in the
world is a distinction which the John M.
Smyth Company, $50 to 166 West Madi-
son street, Chicago, enjoys. An idea of
the magnitude of the establishment may
be gained from the fact that the building
contains seven and one-half acres of floor
space and that during it's third of a CEN
fury of business it has furnished nearly
three-quarters of million homes. or more
than the entire population of some States.
One of the business principles of the firm
Is if goods are not as represented they
may be returned and the money will be
refunded. The firm issues large, beau
tifully illustrated catalogue Of household
goods which are retailed at wholesale
prices. 1t will be sent free on application.
