The Republican Congressional
Campaign Committee has not been
figuring on the election of more than
three or four representatives from
the entire South, for obvious reas-
ons. Vice Chairman Loudenslager,
of that Committee, was therefore
somewhat surprised when informed
that one and possibly two of the six
representatives from Louisiana,
might be Republicans. The infor-
nation first reached him by mail,
and he was rather inclined to regard
it as the usual rainbow advance no.
tice of an appeal to the committee
for funds, but he viewed the matter
differently when he was visited by
prominent Louisiana Republican,
and assured that there were excel
lent prospects for carrying one or
two districts, and that the party in
the state would pay all the expen'
ses without asking the Congression-
al Committee for a cent. Louisiana
has not had Republican represent
~ative since 1858.

THE WASHINGTON LETTER.

(From Our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, d. c.. July 30. 1900.
Unless the Chinese government is
composed of lot of the most un-
blushing liars ON earth, Minister
Conger and the other foreign mini
sters at Pekin ara snfe but even if
the ministers are safe, the murder
of other foreigners known to have
taken place in Pekin and elsewhere,
make it necessary for the allied
army at Taku TO march to Pekin,
take possession of that city, and re-
tain it until satisfaction has been
obtained from China. The allied
powers are determined that China
shall be punished anyway. The
fate of the foreign ministers will be
an important factor in determining
how great that punishment will be !
also in deciding whether war will be
formally declared against China by
the allies. OF course if war is to be
declared, President Mckinley will
have to call an extra session of Con-
gress but no one knows at this time
that any or all of the powers will
decide to declare war. Should it
turn out that the foreign ministers
have been killed, the chances would
increase for declaration of war.

The Republican leaders will meet
the Democrats more than half way
in making so-called imperialism
the campaign issue, although, OF
course, every person of ordinary
common sense knows that there are
no advocates of an American en-
pire in the Republican party. The
foreign policy of the Mckinley adj
ministration, which is fully endor-
sed by the Republican party, is
what the Democrats pretend to see
imperialism in. They will find out
before they get through with it that
about seven out of every ten voters
in the U. s. are supporters of the
foreign policy of President McKin-
ley and believers in the era of
Greater America inaugurated under
his administration.

THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS.

Although bear traders endeavored to weaken
values In yesterdays market prices refused, as
a rule, to move in favor Of lower quotations.
Despite the serious situation in China, London
not active seller in this market, and
this fact. with the absence Of local liquidation,
made bear attacks Improbable After early
irregularity the greater number Of stocks
showed decided firmness, while at the close net
gains predominated. Sugar Refining was ad-
vanced on the shorts and the strength in this
issue reflected in the other industrial Sc
curities. Inside buying was reported In a num-
Der of issues but rule dealings were purely
professional representing the covering OF shorts
and operations by traders to squeeze
profits from fractional fluctuations. The general
character of business was not marked by new
features Dulness, which has been the leading
factor In securities operations for so many
weeks, attended the course Of trading. and out

Public attention continues to be glued TO the
uncertainties that lie ahead. Good news has
been abundant in the last few weeks, but stock
speculation has not responded. The fall Of
Pretoria, big railroad earnings. the end Of the
Sugar and Gas wars the increase in the Atchi-

not been followed by any demonstration in the
home or foreign markets. The public is out Of

the expectation of June bull speculation is
growing fainter every day. There is encourage
