Gen. Harrison Proposes "a Plan for
DispOsing OF fcx-Presidcnts.

Indianapolis, Jan. 1.-The Colonial
club was dedicated in this city last
night. Among the speakers were eX-
President Harrison and Senator Fair
banks. Gen. Harrison said in part:
II have no argument to make here
or anywhere against territorial eX-
pansion; but / do not, as some do,
look to expansion as the safest or
most attractive avenue of national
development. BY the advantages of
abundant and cheap coal and iron, of
an enormous surplus of food pro-
duets and of invention and economy
in production we are now leading by
a nose the original and the greatest
of the colonizing nations.
THE decapitation of the eX-presi-
dent when the oath of office has been
administered to his successor would
greatly vivify a somewhat tiresome
ceremonial. And we may some time
solve the newspaper problem what to
do with our eX-presidents in that
conclusive way. Until then 1 hope
an eX-president may be permitted to
live somewhere midway between the
house of the gossip and the crypt of
the mummy. He will know, perhaps,
in an especial way, how to show the
highest honor to the presidential Of
flee and the most courteous defer.
ence to the president. Upon great
questions, however, especially upon
questions of constitutional law-you
must give an eX-president his free
dom, or the axe-and it is too late to
give me the axe"

ENDORSED BY 4 CAUCUS.
mr. Quay ls Nominated for United
states senator - EHis Friends Organs
lZe the Pcnnsylvania LEGISLATURE.

harrisburg, Pa, Jan. 2.-Col. NJ. s.
Quay was the unanimous choice of
the joint convention of republican
senator's and members held last night
In the house chamber to nominate a
candidate for United States senator.
The caucus was attended by 123 legis-
lators, or four less than the number
necessary to a choice in the Joint
convention of the senate and house,
which will be held January 10. Three
OF those present were Messrs. Hill
and Tiffany, of Susquehanna county,
and Mcpherson, of Adams, who alb
sented themselves Monday night from
the house caucus and voted with the
democrats in the house yesterday for
Gen. Koontz for speaker. Mr..
beaver, of Juniata, who voted with
the stalwarts for Mr.. Marshall, for
speaker, was present, but did not an
swer to his name. 1t was stated that
he will abide by the caucus. Thomp-
son, of Centre, and Haldeman, of
Montgomery, who are detained at
home by illness, were pledged by
their colleagues to Mr.. Quay. This
apparently gives Mr.. Quay 1876 of the
127 necessary to choice. The other
absentees voted with the democrats
on the organization of the house and
are classed as anti-Quay republicans.
Speeches were made nominating Mr..
Quay, Congressman Dalzell and Judge
John G. Stewart.
On the balloting Mr.. Quay received
the votes of 26 senators and 90 mem
bers of the house. Before the result
was announced the names of Messrs.
Dalzell and Stewart were Withdrawn
and the nomination of Mr.. Quay was
made unanimous and he was thus
given total of 123 votes. With one
present and not voting and two alb
sent on account of illness, all three
of whom it is claimed will abide by
the caucus decision, vote of 1876 for
Quay on joint ballot is indicated. As
;he names of certain men who had
been counted in the anti-Quay coll
umn were called and they announced
their vote for Mr.. Quay there were
demonstrations of great approval on
the part of the great crowd present.
While the caucus was in session in
the house chamber secret meeting
of the anti-Quay republicans was
held at their headquarters at the
Commonwealth hotel. At the close
of the meeting the pledge of the anti
Quayites binding themselves to-
gether to oppose Mr.. Quay's re-elec-
ton was made public. The pledge
contains 6S names.
A call was issued last night for
caucus of the house and senate dem
ocrats on the evening of January IL
for the nomination of a candidate for
United States senator. Col. James NJ.
Gutfey, of Pittsburg, will probably
be the caucus nominee.
The first ballot taken Tuesday in
the contest for control of the organ
ization of the house of representa-
tives between the stalwart republic
ans and the fusionists resulted in 100
votes for Marshall, 80 for Koontz, for
speaker. Four democrats voted for
William I. Marshall, the stalwart re-
publican candidate.
Senator Snyder, of Chester county.

for president pro tenn of the senate,

CAUGHT WHILE ASLEEP.
4 Bunch OF Detectives Arrest q
Brother of Pat Grove, the Alleged
kidnapper.

Omaha, Neb., Jan. 2.-The first ar
rest in the Cudahy kidnapping case
has been made. j. j. Grove, brother
of Pat Grove, whom the police be-
lieve to be principal in the abduc-
ton, was taken into custody in Coun-
ell Bluffs Tuesday afternoon by five
Omaha detectives and brought to this
city. The warrant charges Grove
with the abduction of young Edward
Cudahy on December Is.
Early in the afternoon posse of
detectives with search warrants and
complaints charging abduction ran
sacked the premises adjacent to j. j.
Groves saloon in the hope of discov-
ering Pat Grove in his place of con-
cealment.
They had the necessary papers for
the arrest of both Pat and his
brother. Early in the day the police
department had been given informa-
tion that either Pat Grove was MAX
ing his hiding place in his brothers
saloon, or the brother knew more
than he would divulge about the kid
mapping and the letter that has been
recently written to Mr.. Cudahy
threatening Ine uedIH Oh MS son IL
the reward for the arrest of the kid
nappers were not withdrawn. A dill
igent search disclosed no trace of
Pat Grove, but the officers came
upon the brother asleep in rear
room. They awakened him and took
away two huge bulldog pistols which
he carried in his pockets. The man
was first taken to the Council Bluffs
station by Detective Weir, of the
Iowa department, and then he was
conducted across the river for an ex-
animation by Chief Donahue.
When the detectives awakened
Grove he rubbed his eyes as if he
were dazed.
"What do you want?" he demanded.
"We're looking for you and Pat.
We want Pat most, but if we can't
find him, we want to ask you few
questions"
"I'll do anything l can for you.
gentlemen" he said, "but I'll tell you
right now, l can't do or tell much"

THE TRADE OF 1900.
A Review OF the Conditions In thc
World of Business During the Pas

| Xear.
New York, Jan. 1.--Dun's Review in
its summary of the business of the
year just closed, says regarding the
leading markets.:
Conditions in iron and steel during
| 1900 were much more sound than in
the preceding year, when speculation
was rife and prices inflated far be-
| yond the bounds of reason.
Statistics of the weekly capacity of
| furnaces in blast show that the high
| est point on record was reached Feb
| ruary 1, while there was little dimin-
ution during the next few months.
But, with the collapse of speculat tion
| during the spring there came a
| steady reduction in output. From
296 furnaces in blast on February l
there followed continual shutting
down until but 201 were in opera ton
on November / and the weekly pro-
duction decreased S2,710 tons.
Even at this rapid rate of declining
output stocks accumulated with
startling rapidity. and on October
the top was reached at 670,531 tons.
Business conditions were satisfac-
tory, however, and demand expanded
while exports of finished products
grew very heavy when prices reached
a level that made competition pos
sible with British and German pro-
ducers. In two months, ending De-
cember 1, furnace stocks of pig iron
decreased 1885 tons, and the tone
was so much improved that many idle
furnaces resumed.
The year 1900 opened with favor
able conditions prevailing in nearly
every branch of the dry goods trade.
The home demand continued good
TOR the first three months and then
fell away until by June the market
had lapsed into pronounced dullness,
and from n steady upward course in
prices began gradually to decline
again. The arrest of buying was re-
markable.
A sudden demand from China for
heavy brown cottons in May, the first
purchase made for that market in
several months, was checked by the
outbreak of the Boxer rising. and
since then there has been an entire
suspension of buying for that coun-
try. In September another stimulus
was given to cotton goods by the
rapid advance in raw material which
followed the Galveston disaster and
short crop predictions. Prices re-
sumed their upward course, and the
market ruled strong again until the
end of October, when there was an
other luil in the demand. Stocks,
however, had been well cleaned up as
n rule and although some of the
staple lines have eased off slightly.
fairly steady tone has prevailed
since.
The closing year of the century
was n remarkably satisfactory one
for farmers and planters. While the
south produced less cotton than in
the previous record breaking season,
prices were the highest in ten years,
and the net profits made on planta-
tions were enormous. Spring wheat
states lost much grain, but Kansas
and other large winter wheat grow
ers made big crops, and the average
price was high.

Divided the Offices.

Dover, Del, Jan. 2.-rhe Delaware
legislature organized yesterday after
the Addicks and anti-Addicks re-
publicans held n conference over a di-
vision of the offices of the senate and
house. Both factions jointly control
30 of the So members of the assem-
bly, and they decided to divide the
places. The anti-Addicks members
chose Henry A. Ellison for president
of the senate. The Addicks faction
then chose Charles V. McCommons
for speaker of the house. The other
appointments were then made, each
faction choosing alternately.

Wages to be Reduced.

Sharon, Pa, Jan. 1.-The wage
scale of the National Steel. Co. for
the year 1901 is in a fair way of being
settled. That portion of the scale re-
lating to the wages of the blooming
and finishing mill employees has been
signed, a compromise having been ar
rived at. The reduction averages
about 10 per cent, or slight ad-
vance over the wages of 1899. The
!cranemen and open hearth depart
ment employees are not satisfied with
| the scale and refused to sign. The
cranemen have until Saturday to
consider the matter.

Lansing, Mich, Jan. 2.-Senator
Mcmillan, of Detroit, was yesterday
nominated by the joint republican
caucus of the Forty-frst legislature,
which will convene to-day in the
state Capitol, to succeed himself.
Senator McMillan's reelection to his
third term in the senate is assured,
as the Legislature is overwhelmingly
republican. The senator appeared at
the caucus after he had been notified
of his nomination and in a brief
speech thanked the legislators for
the honor. Last evening he rendered
them reception.

TRUST DECLARES WAR.
The Rubber Shoe Combine Proposes
to Fight Its Rivals by Maxim. n Big
Cul I'm Prices.

Chicago, Jan. 1.-Wide open war;
fare in the rubber footwear trade
will begin all over the United States
before the close of the present week.
Notice has been received by every
jobber of rubber footwear in the
country that handles the goods of the
United States Rubber Co. that prices
are to be reduced January 3. No
figures are given, but it is the pop
ularly expressed belief in the trade
that the cuts will be 20 or 25 per
cent.
The object of this wholesale slash
at prices is to force the independent
manufacturers of rubbers to conform
to the selling prices adopted by the
trust, or to force them to the wall.
