NEW YORK CONVENTION
Woodruff Will Likely Be Nominated
 By the Republicans.

Saratoga, N. Y. Sept. G.-There Is hardly any impartial observer here who does not believe that the ticket to be nominated by tomOrrow's republican state convention will be headed by Ben jamin B. Odell, Jr.. and that the other state officers will be renOminated with the exception of the lieutenant gover- nor The second place on the ticket is. in fact the only one concerning which there is any doubt. The delegation from New York city faVors the selection of eX-Mayor Schieren of Brooklyn, but Mr Schiernen himself has so far dis played no eagerness for the honor. All of the delegates have not yet arrived, but there is d sufficient number from Syracuse here to keep the talk of State Senator Horace Whites candidacy for the second place before the public. The leaders of the party are busy at the United States hotel today putting the finishing touches to the platform to be adopted by the convention. The plat form will be exceedingly brief and will deal largely with state issues.
 WOODRUFF WILL TAKE IT.
 Late tonight Timothy Woodruff de- cided that he would accept the nomi- nation.

formerly secretary of the Silver Knights of Anne rica, who was an ac- tive supporter of MT. Bryan in 1896.
 Mir. Bryan's determination to nb scure the real issue in the campaign and force imperialism to the front has driven away many of his former sup porters His attitude on the silver question. espe cially in declining to de- clare himself upon the policy to be pursued in regard ito payment of public debts in silver, is dispIeasing to his supporters. There is a disposition to believe that MT. ryan is not sincere, and this is almost confirmed by his re- fusal to discuss the silver question when important questions in regard to it have been propounded in good faith by the newspapers of the country.
 In the past the principal source of MT. Bryan's strength was that he was sincere in his convictions in regard to silver, but his attitude since the Gage interview was published leads a great many persons to believe that MT. Bryan is anything but sincere, and this will result in losing him a large num- Der of votes, as many persons would vote for him because they believed that il was beyond his power to wreck the financial system of the govern ment.

THERE WAS MONEY IN IT
What Prize Fighters Made Out of the
 Horton Law.

New York, Sept. B. Fitzsimmons, exclusive of royalties on his picture fights and his stage engagements, got approximately $70,OOO out of the Hor- ton law. Jim Jeffries put away $40,0O0 in government 4 per cents, and it is his boast that he has nearly twice that much more. Tom Sha. key has q house in Shoshone Bay and can write his check for at least $30,000.
 Corbett has not had so many oppOr- tunities approximately as some of the others and $45,000 might be set down fairly as his earnings. Mccoy might be placed at close to the same figure, and Peter Maher says he has a home in Westchest-r and can live until the Horton law comes around again. Terry McGovern's share is thought to be larger than any of the others. He was managed with great skill. He will not approximate his earnings, but they were probably quite large. -,

RUSSIA STANDING OUT
But Washington Hopes That She Too Will See the Mistake of Moving Out of Pekin At the Present Juncture, Otherwise the Concert of the Powers Will Be Hopelessly Broken.

Washington, Sept. 3.-A dispatch from Minister Conger was received by the state departmo mt today. It was chiefly interesting in being the first word from him since his dispatch of the 27th. referring to the proposed parade of the troops through the imperial pal ace in Pekin. This is dateless as to Pekin. The contents were not made public. but it was stated that it con tained nothing materially changing the situation. The lack of date led to a determination to take energetic steps hy which all dispatches hereafter com ing to the state department from China will have the date clearly stated.
 Two other dispatches received from China referred to the state of health of the troops which Is generally satis- factory. It cannot be learned that there has been any marked advance ment of n gOtiations between the pow CTS touching the withdrawal of the in- ternational forces from Pekin. The plain indication is that the powers are acting upon information conveyed in the last note of the state department and as bringing all their influence to bear upon Russia to induce her to change her mind as to withdrawing her troops.
 For some reason the authorities here appear ito feel a growing confidence that this effort will be successful. It is noted as fact of great significance that the proposition Is being advanced to have Prince Ching return to Pekin as acting head of the Chinese govern ment.
 The suggestion was made that the progress of this wave of reorganization while the international troops are still in Pekin, promising. as 1t does, speed fly 10 provide an actual defacto Chi nese government with which the na- tions may treat without further doubt as to its strength, may solve the pres ent problem and put the Chinese ques- tion in fair way to a final and satis- factory settlement.
 Much may depend upon the attitude of Russia in this matter and the man. ner in which she treats this appeal from Chinese notables may prove to be a test of the sincerity of her expressed desire to deal with the Chinese govern ment as soon as possible.

OUTLOOK IN KENTUCKY.

Col. Gentry of Kentucky, a democrat and member of Governor Beckham's staff, says the electoral vote of his state will be cast this fall for Presi- dent Mckinley. He told the president that the democrats would look out for the interests of Governer Beckham and see to it that he was elected. but when it came to the presidential ticket that was another thing. After leaving the president he said:
 The people Of Kentucky appreciate the course of the president with refer ence to the local difficulties there when the president was appealed to for fed eral Interference, and fthey We're proud of the lofty Americanism If the admin istration. There is a good Geal of feel ing in Kentucky that Bryanism is not the best thing for the country and that the gold democrats generally will vote for Mckinley

 Contemplated.

London. Sept. 3.-About 400 delegates. representing 1,25O.0CO trades unionists throughout the United Kingdom. as- sembled at Huddersfield today at the opening of the thirty-fourth annual meeting of the British Trade Union congress.

 It is reported that the moderate mem- bers of the. congress will submit d resolution hitting at the radical social ism in order to strike a blow-at the re- gently organized general federation of labor unions, which is composed large ly of labor leaders of radical socialiS.io tendencies and which moreover has met with such success as to promise to be- come a strong rival of the older body.
 But few new topics are to be found on the agenda of the present congress. For the most part the resolutions will re- late to the time-honored questions of old age pensions, workmen's compen- sation, housing of the working classes, general eight-hour- day and child labor.

Growth of Our Export Trade
 In Manufactures
Wonderful Increase In the Last Forty Years and Particularly In the Last Decade - Interesting Com parisons.

Washington. D. C.. Sept 3.-(SpeciaD. The exports of manufactures con- tinues to form the most striking fea- ture of our rapidly expanding com- merce. A year ago the record of $1 coo - 900 a day for every business day in the month was considered a phenomenal one; now a record of $1 900, 900 a day for every day in the month, including Sun days and holidays, is the ordinary every month affair. Even in July, which is usually dull month in ex- porting, the total exports of manufac- lures were sS4, O42 and formed over 8 per cent of the total exports of the month, while for the seven months end ing with July the total exports of man. ufactures were $26S. .309. .1S9, forming 33 66 per cent of the total exports during that period. In 1860 exports of manufactures formed F per cent of the total eXporta- tons: in 1870, 15 per cent: in 1880. 121a per cent; in 1890. IFS per cent: in 1895, 23 per cent: in 1899. 2S per cent: in the seven months of the calendar year 1900 33.66 per cent; and in the month of July. 1900, 35.O5 per cent. In 1860 the exports Of manufactures averaged $3.5OO. 900 Der month: in 1870 they were a little over S5,OOO.OOO per month; in 1880. they were less than $1O,OOO.OOO per month: in 1890 they were $12,5G0,OOO per month; in IS 9 they were $2S,OOO,OOO per month. and in the fiscal year 1900, $36,GOO.

Paris, Sept. 9.--France has not yet replied to Russias note regarding the withdrawal of troops from Pekin. Del Casse, minister of foreign affairs. and Prince OrouSsow, the Russian ambas- sador, went to Rambouilla today to confer the decoration of the Russian order of St. Andrew upon President Loubet.
 It is believed this gave an opportunity for an exchange of views that will affect the ministerial meeting sched- uled for tomorrow. France favors peace, but is not sure a withdrawal of troops is the quickest method to ob- tain il.
