ANOTHER TICKET.
DeLeonites viii Place Municipal Can
didates in the Field.

Members of the De Leon faction of
the socialist labor party in Worcester
have decided to place an independent
ticket in the field to be voted for at
the coming city election. Those at the
back of the movement say nomination
papers in addition to those taken out
by Leroy l.. Usher, will be circulated,
and the following ticket placed in nom
nation.
For mayor-Edgar s. Goodwill: for
aldermen, F. Albin Forstrom, John T.
Hargraves, Walter j. Hoar, Andrew G.
Valance, John T. Youngjohns and Lee
roy D. Usher.
The De Leonites say they would have
abided by the decision of the conven-
ton, but for the action of the ants in
repudiating the state organization.
They also take exceptions to the plat
form and the candidacy of some of the
men named.

The Kentucky will Immediately return
to Newport News, where the finishing
touches will be given her.
One of the chief features of inter-
est in today's trial is in the question
of how the Kentucky compares with
the keal sarge, her sister ship which
was given her trial in September. The
Kearsdrge averaged 1884 knots for the
run Of 81 miles. This is 033 knot less
than the Kentucky's speed today.
An accident to a feed pipe on the
kearsarge during the run prevented
her from making a better showing The
fastest leg made by the Kearsarge on
her trial was at speed of 1882 knots
that of the Kentucky was 1924 knots
The average number of revolutions on
the Kearsarge trial was 1143; of the
Kentucky, 1926. Highest steam pres

Rear Admiral Rogers of the board
OF inspection and survey, said that the
trial of the Kentucky showed her to be
practically the same as the Kearsarge
The same elements were present, name
ly, speed and stability. What he had
said Of the Kearsarge was equally true
of the Kentucky. When asked as to
Nilcn ne InOuSHt the DetIef boat, he
said he saw no difference, and the con-
ditions were as favorable to one as to
the other.
Capt. c. M. Chester, who will com
nland the Kentucky when she goes into
commission, said that the boat is a
magnificent one. He was on the Kear-
sarge at her trial, but could not see
that the Kentucky was much different.
OF course. the latter had shown a lit
tie more speed, he said, but either boat
was equal to II knots.
Among the guests of the Newport
News Company on the trial today were
Rear Admiral W. T. Sampson, Foster
NJ. voorhees,, governor of New Jersey.
and Congressman George F. Wey-
month and John f. Fitzgerald of Mas
sachusetts.

of short duration. however, as he had
the old-time fault of being possessed OF
good lungs, and the sounds which he

kenness. He claims Boston as his home.

New York Feb 7.--Stock prices receded
points, which was exceeded in a number
of instances. The ratification of the peace
treaty induced purchases from London.
There was less enthusiasm locally, and
after an initial rise from fractions to a
point and over in many cases, traders
were free sellers in anticipation of re-
action When it became evident that
prices were not holding commission
houses were free sellers. Prices receded
rapidly in some instances and were pres

The purchases for London account which
were partly due to anticipating the fort
nightly settlements, together with cover
ing by the shorts, rallied the market.
Washington houses were large pur-
chasers. while Chicago houses sold The
market became feverish and semi-stagna-
ton on the constant hammering by bear
traders forced many stocks to a point
where liquidation was induced, which
made the lower prices.
There was talk that most of the selling
was in the interest Of a bear clique, said
to have been formed yesterday. The fact

the only support found for the story.
From the highest there were reactions

grangers, the Readings and some minor
ndustrials. The pressure against stocks
was mostly professional and there was no

attracted attention.
Considerable weakness was manifested

New York. Feb. 1.-THE Journal and
Advertiser says: The plan for the reorgan-
ization Of the Central Pacific In connection
with the settlement of the debt Of the
government will probably be announced
during the next 10 days Practically all
of the large interests in the property have
been in consultation with Speyer & Co.
and other members of the syndicate which
has charge Of the reorganization. Mrs.
Leland Stanford, who is one of the largest
holders of the Central Pacific, is in the
city, accompanied by her attorney Rus
sell J. Wilson of San Francisco. The
meeting was held at the office of Coils P.
Huntington on Monday afternoon. and
was attended by Mrs. Stanford and her
attorney.
According to advices from London it
is reported that Central Pacific stock will
be exchanged for Southern Pacific and
that 1t will receive certain considerations
which will make 1t worth full 10 per cent
more than Southern Pacific. This would
mean that the lease controlling the Cen
trail Pacific will be abrogated and the
property absolutely absorbed by the
Southern Pacific.

OF Helena appeared for the defendant,
and In making motion that the So
called accusation be quashed and set

by the contestants in the Airport case,
but was not pressed to a conclusion,

and III fact in all counties, excepting
those In which one county constitutes
a judicial district, as in Lewis and
!. Clarke and Silver Bow. The reason
given in asking that the accusation of
the grand jury be set aside is
that 'There was no court in session

when the grand jury returning said
accusation was called or was required
to attend. to which a grand jury might
be summoned to attend, by reason of
which the body of men purporting to

of the state of Montana" The code
requires that the judge must within

make an order designating the times
at which court will be held in each

Harcourt.
New York, Feb. IA dispatch to the
Times from London says: At meeting
Of the liberal party to-day 173 out of 1874
liberal members were present. The great
est harmony and cordiality prevailed. The
Right Hon. Sir Henry Campbell-Banner-
man was chosen leader No reference
was made to Mr.. Morley whatever. Ath-
eriey Jones moved the only amendment.
adding to the Harcourt resolution the
words "and expressed their continued con-
fidence in him." to show that if Harcourt,
as he declared in his letter of resignation,
had been prescribed, it was not the lib
eral party which prescribed him. This
amendemtn was unanimously accepted.
Mr.. Labouchere provoked laughter when
the resolution inviting Mr.. Bannerman
was moved by saying: IT rise as a Briton
to support this resolution Mr. Banner
man said the government had been COM
planning that there was no effective oppo-
sttion. He declared he would do his best

ment tomorrow will contain no item of inn
portance either of comment upon the last

CHICAGO MARKETS.
Produce.

Chicago, Feb. 1.-THE Liverpool wheat
market was quite strong to begin with and
domestic receipts Of wheat IN the North
west were smaller than year ago. For
these reasons the market here started at
an Improvement of Nc, with May at 725sm
I2Ac Shortly after the opening New
York reported buying there for foreign ac-
count, and as there was p good deal of
anxiety among the local crowd concerning
the condition Of winter wheat crop, owing
to the continued cold weather, May was
bid up to 73c.
Complaints of drouth from California
and India started shorts to covering on a
large scale, and as there was consdera-
BILE buying for the long account May, hes.
ting around 725sc, rallied quickly to
1880. Then profit-taking set in and the
price sagged off to 72&c.
Bradstreet's reported an increase of
1,ss9,o0O bushels in the worlds visible, and
as that was very much under the increase
expected, the buying that followed this
announcement put the price to 731sc. The
rally did not hold, however, as some To-
cal spectators who had been buying
wheat yesterday started to sell out on
the bulge, and they soon had so many i'm
itators that drop in May wheat to 7134I
7lRc was the work Of only about half an
hour. The closing price was 717G72c.
Business in corn was not very brisk or
extensive. The buying was of an indlf-
ferent character and the market closed
13c lower.
There was considerable selling by local
traders in oats, but an excellent demand
from outside sources held prices steady.
May closed unchanged.
Fewer hogs than expected. higher prices
at the yards and large shipments of meats
strengthened provisions early. Later,
however, the market yielded with grains
and heavy selling by buyers. Pork lost
1Oc and lard and ribs 212c each.
