COL. DURBIN WINS.
Nominated for Governor of Indiana
by Republicans.

indianapolis, April 27.-After con
test that lasted from 9 a. M. till 3 D.
m. Thursday, Col. w. Il. Du"bin, of
Anderson. was nominated for COVER
nor by the republican state conven-
ton. The first ballot showed that
Durbin and Grifiiths were close lead
ers and that the other four candi-
dates, Hogate, Haggard, Posey and
Dodge, were classed by themselves.
The succeeding ballots steadily nor
rowed the margins until the seventh
was reached, when Durbin and Grif-
tiths had the field to themselves. As
the ballot closed it was seen that
Durhin had won and Gritliths moved
to make the vote unanimous.
The republican nominee for COVER
nor Of Indiana is native o. the
state. having been born at Lawrence
burg, May 4. 1917. He served through
out the civil war as a private in an
Indiana regiment. He taught school
during his early life and then became
"A dry goods clerk in st. Louis, aris

and is associated with the natural
gas enterprise of Indiana. He has
been known as strong republican
since he was a youth, but has de-
clined to accept public office. In

COUNTING THE COST.
Latest Estimate Of Fire Losses nj HUH
and Ottawa Places the Total at SI7,


Ottawa, Ont, April 2S.-Over five
square miles of territory burned
over; more than 1000 buildings de-
stroyed; seven lives lost; 1000 men,
women and children homeless and
property loss of S17,000,000 according
to the latest estimate, insured for
about half its value, are the results
Of the destructive fire which swept
this city and Hull. Although under
control for many hours, the flames
were not entirely extinguished until
about noon Friday.
A relief committee has been formed
by the citizens and this, together
with the Catholic archbishops of OF
tawa and Montreal, will make an APP
peal for relief to the country. The
most serious problem that confronts
Hull is that of work. The ma jority
of househoIders who were burneI
out are poor and have large families
1t is not expected there will be en-
ploymcnt for considerable period
and the way in which many of the
poor are going TO live in the mean
time is doubtful. On the ottawa side
fully two-thrds of Dalhouse ward is
devastated and an estimate by resi-
dents of the district places the num-
ber Who are without roofs of their
own in this district at 5000. The
destroyed property in this district
included some of the finest residences
in Ottawa.
One of the most remarkable things
about the scene is that no smoke is
to be seen. There are no half burned
buildings or smoldering logs any
where. Everything that the fire
touched was burned to ashes. All Of
Hull's principal buildings, with the
exception of the Catholic church, are
thinpS of the past

A CHILLY RECEPTION.
Porto Ricans Didn't Enthuse Over the
Arrival of the Civil Governor.

San Juan, Porto Rico, April IS
The steamer Dolphin, bearing Charles
Allen, the newly appointed civil gov
ernor of Porto Rico, dropped anchor
off San Juan at 10 o'clock Friday
morning, as did also the armored
cruiser New York, the battieship
Texas and the gunboat Machias. The
New FORK remained outside the har-
Dor, the others entering.
Gen. Davis, military governor, Wis
tied Mr.. Allen on board the Dolphin.
A detachment of IS insular police and
four companies of the Porto Rico reg
iment with band We're drawn up or
the wharf The Dolphin's launch
carrying Mr.. Allen and his family,
with Gen. Davis and Lieut.. Parker,
the latter's aide, left the Dolphin at
noon, the Texas and Dolphin firing Il
salute of II guns.
Mr.. Allen ran up the steps and the
families of Gen. Davis and the new
civil governor were introduced TO
each other. A crowd of 5000 looked
on, but was kept at distance. Tha
police and troops marched past, Mr.
Allen doffiug his hat. Mr.. Allen took
breakfast with Gen. Davis and with
his family will remain as the guest
of Gen. Davis indefinitely. He landed
III an ordinary costume, straw hat,
blue coat and duck trousers and n
wave of eXclamations followed the
carriage.
THAT can't be Mr.. Allen" said one.
"That's not the new governor said
another; mot that man in the straw
hat, surely not" The simplicity of
the costume and of the general de-
tails Of the reception took the Porto
Ricans by surprise.
There was no attempt to decorate
the buildings and generally the re-
ceptiOn was not enthusiastic. One
Porto Rican explained the lack Of
popular demonstration by saying
that the people were dissatisfied to
find that the civil government would
not actually be in full force on May
|, as they had hoped.

Review of Trade.

New York, April 2S.-R. G.. Dun &,
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Gold begins to go abroad and prices
of iron products break sharply in the
same week. Four months of the new
year have passed and business does
not so expand as to need the large in
crease of circulation which the new
monetary bill has permitted, nor
enough to sustain all the extraordi-
nary advance in prices last year. The
abundance of gold and of currency,
and the large disbursements by the
treasury in exchange of bonds, have
rendered rates for money unusually
low for the season here, while rare
industrial and speculative activity in
Europe with the war in South Africa
have tended to make money dearer
abroad.
The reaction in prices came where
it was expected least, in the industry
more fully organized than any other
to check competition and in the
branch which, through contracts Gov
ering rod making and other machin-
cry and through patents seemed more
fully controlled than any other. Re
duction of $40 per ton in wire nails,
barbed wire and galvanized fence and
$1S in smooth wire showed that no
control can afford to hold prices so
high as to check consumption. In "a
week the prices of iron products have
declined $50 per cent, and since Feb
ruary Z. 10.3 per cent. AS the wire
and nail prices have been relatively
the highest, others in the iron and
steel industry can be expected to fail.
The tendency toward lower prices
is strengthened by the idea that over
production may appear in other
branches. In cotton goods, after the
rise Of about 30 per cent. following
the advance in cotton, it is asked
whether the surprising increase in
southern output has not cut off part
of the demand which eastern mills
find insufficient. In staple goods 40
change is seen, but in other lines and
fancy goods irreSularity is increasing
and greater concessions are made.
Wool has not changed in quotations
but manufa cturerS are not uiSpaSed
to do anything, and the west asks
prices which dealers have no reason
for paying. The demand for wooden
goods is small and prices are not en-
couraging.
Shipments of boots and shoes from
the east in four weeks have been 306,-
323 cases, against 339,4 ,49S last year,
and less in any other year. New busi-
ness bears no proportion to the pres
eut output. and the number of works
which are closed or running part timn
is increasing.
Exports of merchandise from New
York in three weeks have been 37.9
per cent. larger than last year, and
the aggregate for the month promises
to considerably exceed $100,000,OOO,
while imports here are 1876 per cent.
larger than last year. bat will fall be-
low exports by more than $30,000,0o0.
Failures for the week have been 20i
in the United States, against 1S4 last
year. and 90 in Canada, against %
last Ncnr.
