able. That is what keeps the speculative
public out of the market Nothing but
miracle can advance prices in the face
of gloomy talk one hears around the
stock exchange.
A financial authority says: s'It can pos
itively be stated that there will be no
tightening of rates as are seen in the
notation of the recent foreign loans. but
the outflow of currency to the interior for
crop moving purposes will make higher
rates for call money within the next three
weeks
Tammany is raiding B. r. q. again. and
1T is through the medium of which 1t is
expected an ordinance will be faForably
acted upon by the board of aldermen to
compel the company to place its wires
under ground. The passing of such an or
dinance would mean enormous expend1-
lures and perhaps considerable litigation.
The coal stocks are beginning to feel
the effects of the strike. All show a de-
Ginning tendency, and If it we're not for
manipulation they would suffer severely.
The strike is assuming larger proportions
than the mine owners anticipated, and it
is feared that the struggle will be long
one. The losses incurred by the suSpen-
sion of mining will make big hole in the
earnings of the coal roads and cause
material shrinkage in the values of these
securities. They are simply following the
rest of the market. Any one who feels
like putting up good stiff margins should
not hesitate to buy them on this slump

SANTA FE TO OPEN.
VIII Be Ready For Galveston
Business Friday.

Houston, Tex. Sept.20.-The following
telegram has been sent out by P. H.
Goodwin, general freight agent of the
Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe:
ST am issuing instructions to all our
agents that the Santa Fe will be open
for Galveston business on the 21st, at
which time our bridge over the bay will
be completed
All roads have combined for work on
the Santa Fe bridge and the officials ex-
press the utmost confidence that the
Santa Fe, the International & Great
Northern, the Southern Pacific and the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas will be able
to handle freight and passengers in and
out The relief supplies are being car
ried in by barges and the special ship
ments from Texas and other towns have
gone in that way. The Southern Pacific
has called from it's extension all the
men working there, at North Texas and
has put them to work on the line be-
tween Beaumont and Sabine to get it in
working order and open that port. Sa-
bine was little injured and expects to
handle considerable business An effort
is now being made to obtain charters.
Work is also being pushed on the east
ern end of the Gulf & Interstate road
and partial service will be resumed out
OF Beaumont tomorrow

THIS ROAD PROSPERS.
Northern Pacific Earnings on West
Coast Better Than East End.

New York, Sept. 2O-At meeting of
the board of the directors of the North
ern Pacific the annual report has been
approved and will probably be given out
tomorrow, says the Times. The traffic
agreement between the Northern Pacific
and the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
for use by the latter between st. Paul
and Duluth was approved, and it now
only lacks the approval of the Mil
Waukee's board of directors.
President Mellen, after the meeting, in
speaking of the business conditions in
the west said that Washington, Idaho
and Oregon were exceedingly prosperous,
and that it was entirely due to the earn
ings of the western part of the road that
the general showing was so good, as the
western divisions surplus overbalanced
the deficiency in the eastern part.
On the eastern division the traffic was
ESQ cars per day less than last year, due
to the failure of the crops. The addi-
ton of the ST. Paul and Duluth's earn
ings should make an increase of about
$1,000 per day. If earnings for the next
few months showed an average increase
of less than this amount, it would have
to be assigned to the failure of the east
ern division of the Northern Pacific to
keep up it's earnings

about double that now. You may remem-
Der the story of the farmer who voted for
free wool eight years ago, who said he

CARROLL FOR SENATOR.
Hessin-M Mcknight squabble May BE
Settled by Choice of New Man.

Alma, Kan, Sept. 2O.-The Republican
county central committee met at p.
m. to consider the state senatorial situa-
ton. The senatorial convention is to be
held at Alma September %. The COM
mittee was unanimously of the opinion
that there would not be sufficient time
to hold primary election, so decided to
select seven delegates by the committee.
Cary Carroll, the present county attor-
ney of Wabaunsee county, was consult
ed as to the selection of the delegates,
it being generally understood that in
the interest of harmony Riley and Geary
counties might decide to nominate Mr..
Carroll or some other man. Riley has
had the senator for four years and
great state institution for many more,
and feels very friendly toward Wa
baunsee county, and Geary county has
the secretary of state and nineteen Sttae
appointments at the present time, SO the
Wabaunsee Republicans hope the Re
publicans of that county will be generous
enough to assist them in securing a
crumb in the way of state senator.

the campaign. To induce him to is one
of the objects of a visit which Senator
Hanna will make to Canton, the home
of the president, next Sunday. Pres1-
dent Mckinley, who is now at the CAPT.
tai, will be in Canton at that time.
THE subject has not been discussed
extensively" said Chairman Payne, at
the Republican headquarters today,
but that 1t would be a wise thing for
Mr.. Mckinley to do is beyond question
Senator Hanna made no pubic utter
ance regarding his intention to bring the
president to Chicago. He was occupied
today receiving callers who are pressing
upon him in anticipation of his depar-
ture for the east.
Numerous efforts were made to have
him promise to make campaign speech
eS but he declined to consider further
invitations until his return from New
York. Senator Hanna will tonight make
an address at the Marquette club ban
quet and later will speak at the Ger
man Republican meeting.

publican headquarters today He has

he has been making campaign speeches
Virginia will go Republican by graft
flying majority" The general will go to
Nebraska tonight to begin two weeks

Willis George Emerson, first assistant
chairman of the speakers bureau said
today that it is possible Former Presi-
dent Harrison will consent to take the
stump for Mckinley and Roosevelt.
There is nothing definite as yet" said
Mr. Emerson, but we are in correSpon-
dence with General Harrison and are
hopeful of success

Chicago. Sept 20.-A special to the
Tribune from Salt Lake, Utah, says.
while Governor Wells and Secretary OF
state Hammond were in Idaho last night
TO meet Governor Roosevelt and escort
him to this city. Judge o. W. Powers OF
Salt Lake, a Democrat, was appointed
United States senator. The appointment
was made by Aquila Nebekers presloen1
of the senate, who is acting governor
according to the constitution IL was
signed a little while before midnight, at
which time the train bearing Governor
Wells was expected to cross the lire into
Utah.
The last legislature was Democratic
although the state officers are Republl-
cans. There was a bitter fight for the
senatorship between A. W. McCune OF
Salt Lake and Congressman W. h KING.
An adjournment was taken without
breaking the deadlock. The seat has
remained vacant.
The Democrats discovered last night
they had the acting governor. MI
Nebeker consulted a lawyer and was
told he had power to make the appoint
ment He accordingly did So The state
seal was locked up and could not be OBJ
tanned, but Mr.. Nebeker's legal advisors
maintain his action was valid anyway
The appointment was OIdWu carefully
in legal form, signed and witnessed A
formal acceptance will be filed with the
secretary of state.
CHANGEDG UBERNATOR
Salt Lake, Utah, Sept 20.-Utah Re
publican officials and politicians had
scare when they found this morning
that Governor Wells and Secretary OF
State Hammond had left the state ad
ministration in the hands Of a Demo-
cratic acting governor, by leaving the
state to meet Governor Roosevelt at
Pocatello, Idaho. Under the statutes,
Aquila Nebeker president of the senate,
is acting governor. When Nebeker dis
covered late last night that Wells and
Hammond were both out of the state,
he appointed Judge o. W. Powers, U s
senator to fill the vacancy OccaSioned by
failure to elect a senator at the last
session of the legislature. Then he pro-
ceeded to announce changes in the
gubernatorial staff and wake up official
dom generally. Mr.. Nebeker is a. prom
inent cattle man with the cowboys fond
ness for a joke and does not view his
own meteoric career as governor very
seriously, but his political opponents
were seriously alarmed until they learn
ed that his term will end shortly after
noon today, when Governor Wells will
reach Utah soil again.
1t was thought possible Acting Gov
ernor Nebeker might call a special ses-
sion of the legislature to I'll the SEN
atorial vacancy but he says he will not
go that far.
