considerable injury on our troops and
have ambushed bodies Of our men on
several occasions. They have seen our
troops retreat for miles. They have
witnessed the evacuation of territory

be held for one reason or another. What
more reasonable than to conclude that
the Americans were driven from posi-

cost of time and labor, if not of life?
It is not probable that we have made

Kentucky Democrats Adjourn Over
Another Day without Action.


Another Day Without Action.
LOUISVILLE, KY, June 23-For the
third time in as many days the Demo-
cratic state convention tonight adjourn
ed without result 1t will enter upon the
fourth day of its session tomorrow, with
out having accomplished anything more
than temporary organization. The report
of the committee on credentials was
reached in the order of business tonight
but its consideration was prevented by
the influence Of persons who were ad--
mitted to the floor of the convention
though not entitled to seats. The Hardin
people place the responsibility for this
on local symDathizers with the Stone
Goebel combination, but the latter can
didates disclaim all knowledge of an at
tempt to pack the convention, and de-
clare the disturbance was due to methods
of the arrangements committee.
After consultation 1t was decided TO
make another effort to hold the conven-
ton at 9 o'clock tomorrow, when pre-
cautions will be taken against intrusion
by persons not entitled to seats in the
convention
The first order of business tomorrow will
be the report of the committee on creden-
tials, and if outside interference is pre-
vented the convention should reach the
nominations in a short time. 'H
Two short sessions OF the convention
were held today, one in the morning. at
which the only business transacted was
the adoption of resolutions in memory Of
the late Richard P. Bland, of Missouri.
Then recess was taken until 4 p. M,
to await the report of the credentials
committee, which 1t was announced had
been in almost continuous session all last
inI1f nd ufil ho6 Of 4na
contested seats to pass upon to keep it
busy until the hour named.
When the convention reassembled in
the afternoon plea for more time was
made on behalf of the credentials COM
mittee.,
A Hardin man offered a resolution for
the discharge of the committee and the
disposal of the contests by the conven-
ton itself This was declared out OF
order.
A motion to adjourn until evening was
then made, and the chairman declared 1t
carried. after a viva voce vote, which his
opponents declared was too close to be
determined in that manner. He refused
to call the counties, demanded
Judge Redwine left his seat, but not so
the opposition delegates. There was no
lack of leaders from among the Hardin
ties, and soon they were wrought up to
a high tension. The Goebel-Stone fol-
lowers remained in the hall to see what
was coming off, and tried with their
cheers to drown the angry yells of the
opposition.
1--WE must be patient" said a speaker.
Come back at o'clock and let us settle
our differences in this hall. If this con-
vention is again declared adjourned
without regard to the rights of the dele
gates we will elect another chairman
and proceed with the business that
brought US here"
This brought cheers from both sides,
and after several minutes of gradually
subsiding excitement the hall was
cleared.

ICE HOUSES BURNED.
Early Evening Blake at the Mime

Sparks from a passing engine set fire
to an ice house at the. Minnesota Trans
fer last evening. The flames spread rap
idly to second ice house adjoining, and
in spite Of the fact that one was full of
select lake ice, both were burned, tegeth-
err with tool house belonging to the
Transfer company and box car belong
ing to the Northwestern road. which
happened to be on a sidetrack beside the
ice houses at the time. -.
The blaze was discovered at $50, and
an alarm turned In at once. The Mer-
RAM Park and st. Anthony Park fire
companies responded at once, but two
streams constantly playing on the fires
were not sufficient to check it. The large
amount of ice in one of the storehouses
did not seem to check the flames in the
least and the building burned down, leav-
ing an immense heap3o ice in the center.

SHARKS from the fee: houses and was a
total loss. The abex car was burned to
the trucks. The buildings are situated
at the corner of Cleveland avenue and
University. near the Transfer bridge.
The loss. which will amount to $1,000. is
partially covered by insurance.

WHY NOT ANNEX THEM.

There is MUCK that is pardonable in the
display of feeling which attended the
proposal to extend the thanks of the
people of New Richmond to Gov. SEQ
field, of Wisconsin. In such a terrible
crisis as that which confronted the peo-
pie of the beautiful little city there was
much reason to expect that the authori-
ties of the state would have come to the
rescue with promptitude and generosity
The failure to do so, however, finds
immediate neighbors Of these people were
on hand with as much speed as the dam
aged condition of the roadbeds of the
railroads would admit Of
There is, however, another considera-
ton affecting the matter which ought
not to be overlooked. The north
western tier of Wisconsin counties ought
on every reasonable arrangement of ter
ritory to belong to Minnesota. The capital
of that state, as well as it's principal city,
is practically inaccessible to them A
line running from point west of Ash
land southwesterly to the vicinity of the
boundary line between the two states
than that which now exists. The group
of Wisconsin counties to the west of
such line have but nominal connec-
ton with their state. Their business
connections are wholly with the Mime
sofa cities. They are and always have
been a mere outlying and neglected Sec
ton of that state, and their annexation
to this state would be entirely acceptable
to their inhabitants. The singular con-
dition which is observable at the head of
the lakes, for instance, involves terri
torial anomaly. Duluth and West Su-
perior are to all intents and purposes
one city. The rivalry which exists be-
tween them by reason of their division
detriment to both communities, and will
always seriously interfere with their nat
ural development
Nothing which the state Of Wisconsin
may now do will lessen the feeling Of
disappointment and dissatisfaction which
is being felt throughout the entire tier
of counties to which we refer. The state
has been in the habit of regarding them,
for all purposes short of the payment of
taxes, as, a part of the state Of Minne-
sofa. Why not make them such by the
joint action Of the two states? In this
way whatever little dissatisfaction ex-
lists will be set at naught, and the people
most Immediately affected will have their
wishes and interests properly regarded,
as they are not today.

BUSINESS SATISFACTORY.
r. G. Dun & Co.'s Summing UP of
Trade for the Week.

Trade for the Week.
NEW YORK. June pr. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade will say
tomorrow: The outgo of more gold this
week, 1000, 900 so far reported, makes 1t
clear that Europe is IN need. Exchange
and trade balances show that this coun--
try is not called upon 20 pay, but that
money is worth more to lenders abroad
than it is here. Home finances are most
satisfactory. Revenue falls behind ex-
penditures for the fiscal year less than
$100, 900. 900, and but for $780, 900 war ex-
penses, including payment for the Phil
ippine debts and for Cuban soldiers, the
revenue, exclusive of that from the war
taxes, exceeds Ordinary expenses. Trade
balances, in spite of exports from New
York 10 per cent less than last years and
imports 26 per cent greater, still promise
a large excess Of exports for June. Nor
is there any substance in the idea that
large foreign sales Of securities are NOV
ing gold. The best evidence attainable
shows that in January and February
about $3.50, 600 worth of securities came to
this side, and since February not more
than $4,090,000 in excess Of shipments.
In character, transactions have been of

railroad stocks have averaged a decline

per cent larger than last year and lis per
cent larger than in 1892, the Granger
reads gaining most largely over last
year in spite of the reduced movement
of grain.
The textile industries are much behind
in prices, though woolenS are now stead
fly rising and are per cent higher than
at their lowest In March. The goods
are in much stronger demand, and the
wool has advanced from 1901 to 1878
cents for domestic, taking the average of
100 quotations by Coates Bros, though the
buying is largely speculative. In cotton
goods the advance has been small, and
though business is excellent the demand
fairly matches the supply
The great gain in volume of business
might seem of questionable safety were
it not greater in iron production, result
ing from an actual excess Of demand
over supply and not from speculation. It
is interesting that a 10,000-ton order for
plates for two American liners to be
built by the Cramps has gone to Chi
cago, Eastern works being too full. Or

crease in quantity, and for most Ines,

CONTROL OF RAILROADS.
Mr.. AltgeId Says Is the Key to tho
Trust Problem.

CHICAGO, June 23.-Ex-Gov. Altgeld
declared today that the railroads will be
placed under fire by the Democratic ma
tional convention next year.
''It is my belief said the ex-governor,
that If the convention were held within
thirty days, 1t would almost unanimously
adopt a tentative plank, declaring for
governmental ownership of railroads. An
unequivocal declaration would be step
SO far beyond the existing limitations or
public thought that the convention
might hesitate about adopting it. With
out continuous assistance from the rail-
roads the trusts could not survive year.
If they had to transact business on the
same terms as their competitors, which
do not belong to trusts. they would
quickly disintegrate and go to pieces, and
the trust problem. which is now agitating
the public mind would be solved"
