White Draws with scGovern.

Chicago, April 1S.-Tommy White, of
Chicago, went six fast rounds with
Terry McGovern, of brooklyn, Tuesday
night, finished strong and had the best
of the last round. BY an agreement of
the principals, no decision was to be
rendered if both men were on their
feet at the end of the sixth round. Nc
Govern would probably have received
the decision if one had been rendered,
as he was on the aggressive from start
to finish. In the last round White
landed jab after jab in McGovern's face
and uppercut him repeatedly with the
right. The crowd Of 5000 people went
wild at Whites splendid showing and
the building rang with cheers at the
end Of every~round. At the end of tn
fight the crowd went crazy with yells

TRADE PROSPECTS.
Synopsis of the Reports of Leading
Commercial Agencies ON the
Situation.

New York. April 14.-Bradstreet's says:
Backward spring weather conditions
have figured considerably in distributive
trade reports this week, and, in connec-
ton with some weakness in prices OF
leading staples. have impaired an appear
ance of irregularity to the general situa-
ton. Another one Of those downward
swings In the prices Of agricultural
staples is exhibited this week in slightly
lowered prices for the cereals partly be-
cause OF the bearish position of immediate
supplies and partly because Of the better
than expected government crop report.
which is taken to indicate a possible win
ter wheat yield in excess of all records.
The crop outlook as a whole favors the
expectation of large yields of wheat corn
and cotton Corn and oats have sympa-
thized with the reaction in pork products,
which reaction, however. has not been
universal, as shown by the fact that lard
Is at the highest point reached on the
present BOOM
evidences accumulate that active mis-
sicnary work In favor of lower prices for
iron and steel Is at last bearing fruit Pig
iron is no lower and stocks as whole
are claimed to be no larger than month
ago, but steel products have weakened
noticeably during the week. A slight up
ward swing in cotton is to be noted this
week, and southern mills have officially
advanced prices. On the other hand.
while the mills are active on old orders

against 292643 March !, but unsold stocks
increased 1850 tons. A mistaken infer
ence possibly fatal to many in its conse-
quences. is that stocks held by consum-
ing concerns must be running down. AS
they contract for their supplies months
ahead and such supplies whether dcliv-
cred and not consumed or waiting their
orders at furnaces would not be reckoned
in unsold stocks, the surplus owned by
consumers may be heavy. With No. l

cember, 1t can hardly be called impossible
for prices to yield, though many arc so

NEW YORK REPUBLICANS.
Delegates to the Natio..i Convention
Are Chosea-UnAeclded ~ to
R00sevelt's Future,

New York. April 1s.-The republican
convention for the election of dele
gates at large to the national conven.
ton at Philadelphia named two Unit
ed States senator's, governor and
the second in command of the repub-
hcan state organization as their
choice for delegates at large. Then
they complimented the newspa-
per profession by naming as electors
at large the proprietor and editor Of
Buffalo. newspaper and the propri.
etor and editor of a Rochester news
paper. The men signally honored
were: United States Senator Thomas
c. Platt, United States Senator Chaun-
cey NJ. Depew, Gov. Roosevelt and
State Committee Chairman B. B. Odell
as delegates at large, and Edward II.
Butler, of Buffalo, and f. A. Mitchell,
of Rochester. as electors at large.
The convention was not enthusiastic
at its morning session, but was DEM
onstratiye at it's afternoon session. It
had few spectators when it met at
noon and a good gathering when it
met in the late afternoon. 1t dem

delegates went, they were not quite
decided in their preference as to
whether Gov. Roosevelt should be q
candidate for governor or for vice
presidents; whether they wanted T.
L. Woodruff for lieutenant governor
again or vice president. When the
temporary and permanent chairmen
announced the candidacy Of Gov.
Roosevelt for second term the con.
vention went wild with enthusiasm,
but when Mr.. Sherman coupled the
names of Mckinley and Roosevelt the
applause and enthusiasm were still
greater. So it was impossible to dag
nose the attitude of the majority of
the delegates toward the governor. It
is believed, however, that the general
trend is toward the denomination of
Gov. Roosevelt and the pushing of T.
L. Woodruff for second place on the
national ticket,

spread his net far and wide to catch
the adventurous commands that have
been making mischief in the south
eastern part of the Free State. The

that some are going north and others
south, while Morning Post repre-
sentative says it is not known what

ill telegraphs to the Morning Fost
from Bloemfontein, under Saturdays
date, rciterating his opinion that the
war is bound to prove an extremely
expensive business. He says:
Two hundred and fifty thousand men
Will be needed before the end Is attained.
The question of remounts will continue
one OF vital Importance. Great numbers
are now arriving, but owing to tho fact
that they have to be put to work before
time Is given them to recover from the
effects of the voyage. their condition Is
low and the death rate among them high.
Thousands, therefore. will be wanted in
addition to those now here or on the way,
and great resting depots must be formed,
together with an ample staff to nurse
and exercise them. If that Is done, then,
about four or five months hence, you will
be able TO give your cavalry new lease
of life and strength"
