persons who took part in the Belleville.

to discussion of the negro question.

j. W. BAILEY FOR ORATOR.
Texas Senator Will Deliver Principal
Address July 4 for TammanY.

New York, July 2.-TammanY'
Fourth of July programme was made
public today. 1t is intended to have
a great celebration in the old wigwam
on Saturday morning. Delegations
from the different Tammany clubs will
make up large and appreciative audi
enca-
United States Senator Joseph W.
Bailey of Texas will occupy the place
of honor upon the programme and
make the principal long talk. Former
United States Senator Charles A
Towne will also be a talker. State
Senator Thomas F. Grady and others
will make short talks.
Among the letters of congratulation
which will be read at the celebration
will be one written by former President
Cleveland, Judge Alton B. Parker, VIM
]. Bryan. former Senator David B. Hill
and nearly all of the Democratic for
mer governors Of New York state.
Judge James A. O'Gorman will pre-
ing address. At intervals between thu
speeches music will be furnished by
the Tammany glee club and by Bayns's
Sixty-ninth regiment band.
The selection of Mr.. ToWne as one OF
the principal orators caused some sur
prise. He made his reputa ton as a
PCpuliSt, and was the Populist candi-
date for vice president in 1900 but
withdrew from the race in the interest
of the regular Bryan ticket. At that
time he was an ardent free silver man
and believer in the doctrines of
Organism
Later, it appears, he changed his
views on silver. Then he came to New
York, started to practice law, and -
now said to be interested in Wall street
affairs. This evolution bears a strons
resemblance to that of Ex-Governor
Hogg of Texas, who used to be RAM
pant enemy of corporations but who
some time ago went to England to sell
stock in various corporations Anyhow.
Mr.. Towne is now satisfa Glory to Tam
many, which is, for campaign pui-
poses, against Organism and all that
term stands for.

GEO. WILSON. THE DEFENDANT.

In 1898 Wilson and Marias sold
herd of 397 head of beef cattle to Van
Orsdale. That was the year when the
Grant Gillette crash came and the cat
tie markets were badly shaken. In adj
dition feed was scarce and for that rea-
son Marias and Wilson seemed to be
willing to dispose of their cattle at
sacrifice. VanOrsdale thought he saw
a chance to make money on the deal
and bought the cattle, paying about
$4,000 for the herd. which was many
thousand dollars less than they would
be worth in the market at usual times
After the sale was made mortgage
against the cattle turned up and Van
Orsdale found the herd encountered.
The first case in court was to settle the
title to the cattle. After it had been
carried through the United States
courts VanOrsdale lost and was forced
to pay the mortgage. The cattle were
sold at a good advance and VanOrsdale
retrieved some of his loss.
Then the criminal charge of obtaining
against Wilson and Marias. new trial Was
granted. Error had been made by the court
IN ruling that only six challenges should be
allowed The defense claimed that with
two defendants that Il challenges of jury
men should be allowed,
At the second trial the jury Sagreed.
This is the third trial and the two defend
ants are being tried separately. The trial
under way is that Of George Wilson It
is not likely that even in the event of a
conviction that Marias will be tried. as
there Is not supposed 10 De a very strong
case against him. Wilson engineered the
deal to sell the cattle. Judge Hazen IS
hearing the case for the third time;
The defense made by Wilson is that he
sold the cattle at a great sacrifice to Van
Orsdale and that when he bought them
VanOrsdale made the purchase subject to
me mortgage. Several witnesses were in
PRODUCED this morning who testified that
they believed thev had heard VanOrsdale
say something about mortgage on the
cattle before he bought them.
One defense which the attorneys for WI
son attempted to make was that the mort
gage on the cattle was to cover notes
given the Cillispe Cattle company of Kan
sas City and that the notes were given to
cover the 80 cents per head stock yard rate.
The claim was made that the Gillispe firm
was in the cattle trust and forced Will
son and Afarias to paw the trust prices.
Judge Hazen did not allow the point to be
establ ished.

TO RECOVER MONEY.
Papers Served Against Brokerage
Firm in Seven Gases.

New York, July 2.-Papers have been
served in seven cases for the recovery
of money aggregating SAC, 539 from the
banking and brokerage firm of thinner
man & Forshay of this city. The cases
grew out of the sale of bonds of the
United Railways company of San Fran
cisco. The plaintiffs, who also are brok-
ers, assert that during April May and
June, 1902, the defendants contracted
for the purchase of bonds of the COM
pany, which were not to go on the mar
ket or be delivered to the defendants
until February. 1908. During the sum-
mer some of the bonds were sold in
San Francisco with the understanding
they were to remain there, but in some
way some of them turned up in the
east. When delivery was made to Ziin-
norman & Forshay in February last,
they refused to accept the bonds When
the agreements about the purchase were
made the bonds were selling around 80.
In February last they were selling
around so, and it is for the shrinkage
in value that the plaintiffs are suing
since they were forced to sell the bonds
at the reduced rate.

CONSUMPTION IS HEAVY.
Outlook in Iron Trade Was Hardly
Ever Brighter

Cleveland. O., July 1.-The Iron Trade
Review, discussing market conditions
in it's current issue, says:
There is a better feeling in the iron
trade, though without any change in
the week in the volume of business
placed. The large rail contracts of last
week and the pending inquiries for rails
amount to about $50 600 tons of stan
dard rails, standard sections having in
spired confidence in the continuance of
demand from that source on a liberal
scale for another year Some improve
ment in the prospect for crops, as con-
tanned in reports from along important
granger 70 ads, has also helped to make
sentiment in the iron trade.
Consumption continues very heavy;
the particular charge that has come
over the trade is that buyers are reliev
ed of the necessity of looking so far
ahead in arranging for their supplies.
So far as foundry pig iron is concerned,
the situation is not changed except for
some further settling in price. Buyers
and sellers alike are hunting for the
level on which business can be done
freely, but have not found it, and may
not for some weeks.
