AGREEMENT READY.
Santa Fe Will Sign a Stipulation
Concerning Additional Shops.

Vice President Barr of the Santa Fe
will forward from Chicago today the
agreement of the Santa Fe company in
the shop matter. General Manager
Nudge. who returned from Chicago
this morning, discussed the matter with
Mr.. Barr, and will be in receipt of the
agreement tomorrow.
The agreement will state just exactly
what the Santa Fe company will do
in return for the land to be secured by
the Commercial club. It will amount
to a formal contract between the Santa
F'e and the Commercial club in refer
ence to the purchase. of the land and
the construction of additional shops.
Mr.. Nudge said today it is practically
certain that the big locomotive erect
ing shop would be built next year. This
Will be the largest railroad machine
shop west Of Chicago, and will cost
at least 100000.
The blacksmith shop will probably
be the only one of the new shop build
ings : be constructed this year.

LARGEST EVER KNOWN.
Volume of Failures For May as Re
ported by Dun 6 Co.

New York, June Sums Review will
say on Saturday:
Failures in May were not only the
largest ever known in that month since
records were made. but of so months
covered by these returns only six have
shown as large liabilities. Contradic-
tory though it may appear, the report is
encouraging. There was not a single
failure in the month which was calcu-
lated to shake or did shake commercial
credits, which were stronger at the end
of May than at the beginning.
Neither were there any failure or nest
of failures calculated to create alarm
about any particular branch of business.
The large brokerage failure for about
$13, 100000 exceeded in amount all fail
ures in any month except one since 1885,
and with it came another for $735 900
Nearly so per cent of the total defaulted
liabilities was due to five other com
mercial failures, while the ten large
failures in manufacturing and trading
covered less than s3,000.0OO liabilities in
all.
The number and amount of liabilities
of all commercial failures in May com
pared with last year are given below:
May, 1900, 947; 1899, 5S1. Liabilities,
May, 1900, $23, I'll ISL; 1899, SO, S20, $3.50.
The returns to Dun's Review for May
show an unusually large number of
small failures. They exceed those of
any other year but one and this is con-
| sidered suggestive, also the increase Of
! over an eighth in average liabilities. This
! the Review says is readily traceable to
! the manufactures for the surprising in
| crease in number. the smaller failures
/ in trading show lower liabilities than in
any other year except two. Manufac-
/ turing liabilities have much increased
/ however, the average for those small
! firms, running close to $12, coo.
P 1t might be inferred that there had
been a really noteworthy expansion OF
manufacturing Indebtedness for the
season and in January a similar in
crease appeared, though very little in
February or March. An April the in
crease was about 81, 500 per small fail
| ure and in May 3,4OO. 1t is not difficult
to surmise that this has connection
with the general slaczening of orders
for manufactured products which has
now begun to produce a readjustment
! of price.

BRYAN LACKS 1874.
Short of Two-Thirds Majority of the
Entire Convention.

Chicago, June S.-The Chronicle says:
Senator James K. Jones, chairman of
the national Democratic committee, is
expected to reach Chicago early next
" eek. VIM. J. Bryan, it is said, will
meet him shortly after his arrival and
plans will be discussed for the active
work of the Kansas City convention.
Keen interest is taken by officials at
national headquarters in the reports of
Democratic state conventions. Up to
date twenty four states have held con-
ventions. OF these twenty-five, repre-
senting 436 delegates. have instructed
for Bryan. Maryland and New Jersey
are unpledged, the former having six
teen and the latter twenty delegates.
Bryan now lacks only thirty instructed
votes of having a majority of the con-
vention delegates.
The convention will be composed of
$50 delegates, and as many alternates.
Under the two thirds rule, however, a
rule which has been enforced in Dem
ocratic national conventions for nearly
forty years, the nominee for president
OF vice president must receive two
thirds of the entire vote given. Bryan
therefore lacks 1S4 votes for a nomi-
nation on the basis of instructed dele
gates.

A CUT in WAGES.
Leads to Big Strike in the Mines at
Scranton. Pa.

Scranton, Pa, June S.-The strike of
the drivers and car runners which be-
gan in the Delaware & Hudson COM
pany's Marvin mine on Tuesday spread
today to the Leggetts creek, the Dick
son and the Won StOrch mines of the
same company, the men and boys of
these mines similarly employed as the
Marvin strikers going out in sympathy.
They refuse to return to work until
there is a. satisfactory adjustment of
the wage differences on which the Mar
vim men struck. Their action has forced
a closing down of the several mines of
the company here and the threat is
made to carry the fight to every mine
of the Delaware & Hudson in the Lack
aWanna valley.
Twenty-Five hundred workers are
made idle thus far. The strike is over
a cut of 10 cents per day in the drivers
wages and eleven cents in the pay of
the runners, without notice. They now
demand an increase of ten cents per
day over the old wages, drivers SIPS
runners 81. so. The fear is also expressed
that the trouble will spread to the Della
ware, LackaWanna & Western miners,
the men and boys on strike declaring
the issue at the Marvin is only the be-
ginning of a similar cut all through the
district,

MAY PAY OUT.
Assignee of Price, Mccormick & Co.
Is Hopeful.

New York, June S.-Assignee Curtis
of the firm of Price, Mccormick & Co.
will not be prepared to make a state
ment for several days, but a prelimi-
nary showing, now that many of the
claims are said to have been liquidated,
indicates that the firm will be able to
pay all obligations in full and have a
surplus of about $250,O0O after the cost
of the assigneeship has been deducted.
A conference will probably be held
next Sunday at which it is expected
that George Crocker, the special part
ner. now on MS way back from Europe,
will be present.
According to a friend of Theodore H.
Price, it not impossible that a new firm
may be organized along the same lines
with new special capital. One altern-
ative to this plan is said to be the for
nation of a firm consisting of George
Croker, r. G. NJ. Stuart w rtley and
w. G. Mccormick, including possibly
Mr.. Rutherford, Mr.. Crocker's stepson,
who recently bought a seat on the stock
exchange. This latter firm, if formed,
would only operate on the stock ex-
change, and Theodore H. Price would
then resume business under a separate
arrangement.

NO REWARD FOR RHODES.
Governor Declines to Offer Money For
Capture of Pawnee County Man.

Governor Stanley today declined to
issue a reward for the arrest and con-
viction of J. A Rhodes of Pawnee coun-
ty, who is wanted for three offenses, oh
tanning money under false pretenses,
forgery, and violating the prohibitory
law.
Rhodes was in Missouri and the gov
ernor issued a requisition for his return
to Kansas but he has evaded the Off
GERS and now request is made that a
reward be offered.
The governor thinks it a questionable
proceeding, owing to the three charges
being made together. and owing to the
difficulty in determining whether the
man is wanted for the misdemeanor or
felony and he has declined to go furth-
er into the case.
