PRICES JUMP UPWARD.
Porto Rlcan Markets Disturbed by
Currency Changes.

Correspondence of Associated Press.]
San Juan, Porto Rico, Aug. To-day
marks the beginning of general raising
OF prices throughout the island caused
by a misunderstanding of the exchange
of currency. Until a week ago it was
widely known that after August I, no
more Porto Rican silver would be ex
changed, but the notice of the indefinite
extension of time was published far and
wide Still the idea prevails that here
after the peso will be of no value. Yes
terday the banks were crowded after
hours. Through a combination of the
traders throughout the island food stuffs
and other neceSSarieS rose in price. With
large number it was moving day-a
day for fitting from excessively increaS-
ed rents to cheaper lodgings. 1t was al
so day on which money that usually
bought breakfast and dinner bought
breakfast alone. Eggs that heretofore
were bought for two or three centavos,
cost ten centavos: the carbon for boiling
these eggs, instead of costing ten centa
vOs cost 25 centavos. The cost of every
other article of food was raised in about
the same proportion. The wall of COM

1t was commonly reported that all la
borerts were to strike today for the same
amount in American formerly paid them
in pesos. This raise in prices is the re-
suit of a gradual increase, a centavo or
so at a time, commenced a month ago.
1t is evident that a combination exists
as the prOprietorS of stalls a. the market
were asking the same prices, and the in
crease is uniform about town among the
stores selling staples.
Several instances were brought to the
attention of the newspapers where pur-
chaSerS were told that commencing with
today all prices will be in American
money.
According to kilograms received from
many interior towns. the shops are closed
and the peso is refused in payment for
goods. 1t is feared that riots and blood
shed will result before the matter is adj
iuSted.

Camnhell,s Correction.

The following statement was received
from Mr.. I. P. Campbell today:
Permit me to correct one statement
in your paper of August 8, entitled
Campbell Raves You make me say:
AN the men who were instrumental In
effecting Duval's nomination by the Dem
ocratic convention were drunk This is
incorrect, and is not true in fact. What
l did say to you, and what 1 now wish
to say is, that While not all the Demo
Gratis in that convention, and not by any
means a majority of them, were drunk,
that nevertheless those who were drunk
monopolized the whole time and abso-
lutely run the convention from until II
o'clock and that if the, sober men in
that convention during that time had
been allowed a voice the result would un-
doubtedly have been different"
Mr.. Campbell misquotes the State Jour
nal in his correction. The Journal article
reads: Il do know that men who made
the speeches and were instrumental in
nominating Duval were drunk" This is
exactly what Mr.. Campbell said.

BRYAN TO COME.
Populist Notification Here and
Silver Republican in Min
neapOlis.

Regarding the notification of Mr.. Bry-
an by the Silver Republicans and Popu-
lists, D. c. Tillotson. chairman of the
Silver Republican national committee
says he is informed that Mr.. Bryan or
iginally desired the notifications to be at
Lincoln. But he has yielded to the strong
desire for these exercises elsewhere, and
it is practically conceded that Topeka
will be favored.
The dilemma is that Minnesota claims
that a meeting there would be of as
great political value as one in Kansas
So the prospects are that, instead of a
joint meeting, there will be two-one at
Topeka and the other at Minneapolis.
Out of compliment to Mr. Towne it is
probable that the notification by the Sill
yer Republicans will be at Minneapolis.
Mr.. Tillotson says: 1.-The Topeka meet
ing will be historical. The railroads will
no doubt give a half rate, at least, and
special trains will be required to take
care of the crowd while delegations
from every township in Shawnee and ad-
joining counties will come overland. If
our plans work out Topeka will see the
greatest meeting in it's history

of their presence until today. Twelve of
the circus men wanted for assault by the
sheriffs of Cass and Hubbard counties
were arrested and taken to Cass Lake,
where they will be tried. They made no
resistance, although most of them were
armed.

to be the leader of the gang, was not

General Spaulding told the Skagway

had a just cause for complaint and
made two suggestions; one that they
lay the whole matter before the state

aid and the other that the SUPPORT

latter measure rather too harsh. He
assured them that he would do all in
his power to aid them and advised them
to appeal to Ottawa and also to ask
the railroad companies to assist them
He said the United States would favor
Americans first in the latter.
