TENNESSEE STOCK
 ON UPWARD BOUND
30,00O Shares Purchased at Par By One Interest-WiIl
 Reach 125.

New York, August 15.-(Special. .)-The re- markable rise in the price of Tennessee Coal and Iron in yesterdays stock market is attributed to a prominent interest con- nected with southern iron matters buying 30, 900 shares at par The purchase was made solely for investment, and not for stock jobbing purposes.
 rumor was started to the effect that a big consolidation was pending which would effect at least four of the large iron and coal companies operating in the south. Archer Brown, of Rogers. Brown Co.,, when seen by your correspondent today, re- fused to confirm the reported consolida- tion but people well informed in the iron and steel trade say that an amalgamation of the southern companies is quite probable at an early day.
 . The advance in Tennessee Coal and Iron stock has been remarkable, almost thirty points within about two months and there is now very little of the stock in the mar ket. controlling interest is held by one house, and the party who invested s9,000,000 yesterday in Tennessee Coal and Iron is taking a personal interest in the manage ment of the property. Inside information is that Tennessee Coal and Iron will yet touch 125, at which price it is claimed it will be good paying property on recent and existing earnings.

HOW HANNA DID IT

 On the reelection of Mckinley Hanna), Rockefeller, Morgan and the Rothschilds, as they get ready this trust of the banks, count with calmest confidence. They never doubt the coming of republican triumph. Incidentally, and to clear the way for their success, they plan silver, sixteen to one, as declaration of democ- racy. To beat down Bryan on that issue they rest themselves safe. They fully weigh the strength of the almight dollar in politics. With silver, sixteen to one, as @ slogan, they argue that democracy's treasure chest will be empty as drum. It took nineteen millions to put Mckinley where he is They say, if needs crowd, he can have forty millions, eighty millions, all he will, to gain second term. Their war plans are laid and made. They will waste neither time nor treasure on the individual voter. But registration is to be bought; for election day, judges are to be purchased. They will not change a Bryan vote. With registration" wide enough, as counts proceed, Mckinley ballots will be furnished by thousands to over-creep and top the utmost Bryan expression. That's what was done in '96. Bryan was elected then. Nor, to defeat him, did they count him out. The black Hannaites won by the simpler system of counting Mo- Kinley in. It made less noise; offered a narrower foothold to attack.

WHY MOsOUITOEs BITE
From the New York Sun.


 Just why the mosquito bites people is not yet known. It is not to furnish it food, for 1t is an established fact that a mosquito after gorging itself with human blood dies within few hours, whereas mosquitoes that have never tasted blood have been known to live very comfortably even through the winter 'and into next season. The adult mosquito does not need food During Its larva stage it has stored up enough nourishment to last it all it's life, and its is a normal state for 1t to go with out for the rest of its existence. All that it needs is moist air, adult mosquitoes being known to pass the winter in damp cellars, living on nothing but the moisture. The fact that it is estimated that only one out of 10000 ever tastes human blood also proves that it Is not necessary Why it per- sists in torturing mankind, therefore, has note yet been found out and scientists can only swear softly with the rest of mankind, and make the general statement that the mosquito is born with a vitiated appetite for human gore-an appetite that causes the death of the indulger.

POWELL TELLS OF
 DU VIVIER'S ARREST Minister to Hayti Writes Details
 to State Department.
GOVERNMENTS OPPONENTS
Have Become Active, and Many Arrests Have Been Made on Suspicion Prisoner Suspected But Re-
 leased With Apologies

Washington, August 15.-The state de- partment has several dispatches from the United States minister in Hayti, MT. Powell detailing fully the circumstances of the recent attempted arrest of Du Vi- yier within the United States legation, and also touching on the political agitation which has existed of late in that country.
 He states that owing to the unsettled and rather depressed financial conditions prevailing, the political opponents of the government have become active and have held number of meetings to express their discontent. This has led to a number of arrests suspicion although 1t does not appear that any arrests were made upon regular charge of reasonable acts. The arrests were quite numerous and in one of Mr. Howelrs dispatches he states that there were sixty-nine persons in jail and a number have been discharged. He states that the government authorities have adopted no summary methods and that none of those arrested on suspicion have been shot.
 Concerning the affair in the United States legation, MT. Powell explains the circumstances fully. It appears that the lower floor of the minister's residence is used for the consular office and it was here that the incident occurred. Du Vivier, local newspaper writer, was among those suspected of reasonable motives. He was followed by body of soldiers and having entered the hallway of the building the soldiers followed him and attempted to place him under arrest. Minister Powell appeared on the scene and protested against this invasion of the United States establishment. During the excitement Du Viver had been removed to the sidewalk. The minister of foreign affairs MT. St. Vic tor, chanced to be passing as Du Vivier was brought out
 MT. Powell at once appealed to the cabi- net official who, after ascertaining the facts of the situation, rebuked the soldiers and bade them release the prisoner. Du Vivier then returned to the protection which had been accorded him and MT. St. Victor speedily followed his personal rebuke to the soldiers by a note to Mir. Powell expressing sincere regret for the occurrence. This was regarded as most ernment made no further effort to secure Du Vivier, the incident appeared to be closed A week later when MT. Powell supplements his first report, he makes no mention of Du Viviers status, of of any further motive by the Haytien government to secure him, so it is inferred that the last has been heard of the affair.
