ATHENA, JULY 81, 1903

The leadership for the republican
campaign seems to be practically settled
Senator Hanna gives it out positively
that he will not retire from the chair
manship of the republican national COM
mittee. Perry Heath, says an exchange,
appears to be an established factor in
the management. There is no intima-
tion that his resignation may be expect
ed. Mr.. Heath has not been charged
with breach or breaches of law, but
that he very amiably condoned machi-
nations bordering on the scandal is evil
dent enough, also that he possessed
something like knowledge of actually
fraudulent transactions by wholesale. IL
is explained that Mr.. Hanna would not
be willing to forego Perry Heath's val
liable services in frying campaign fat
out of the trusts. In all probability the
secretary of the republican national COM
mittee will be found doing business in
the same old way next year. Postmaster
General Payne will play an important
part in the practical workings of the
day. 1t is not known whether he will
continue in the cabinet, but that is an
other matter. Hanna insists, in what
appears to be an authoritative manner,
that Payne's health will not occasion
his resignation. Mr.. Payne himself has
not uttered a word indicating that he |
contemplated leaving the administration
but in any event he may be counted up
on to assist in the engineering Of Mr..
Roosevelt's candidacy. In or out Of Of
fee, he owes political debt to the pres
ident. Payne's political services were
the consideration of his appointment.

During several centuries popes were
elected by the clergy and lay members.
Sometimes violence attended this pro-
ceedure and the plan of election was
changed. A. d. 1869 Pope Nicholas ii.
issued decree limiting the right to vote
FIR pope to cardinals as representatives
of all the ancient electoral bodies, In
It's fullness, the electoral college con-
sists OF 70 cardinals, but the college is
row short four members ard 66 votes
sill be cast A standard authority thus
describes the mode of electing pope by
tho cardinals; preparatory to an. elec-
ton, the cardinals are shut up in what
is called the conclave, all communication
with the outer world being interrupted
until the election shall have been made.
\ simple majority of voices does not suf-
flee, two-thirds of the cardinals must
vote for the same candidate. There are
four modes of election, scrutiny 'ac.
cess, compromise and inspiration.
Twice day during the conclaye, each
cardinal deposits in chalis placed on
the alter, the name of his candidate. If
the requisite number of votes are not
found for any one, the papers are at once
burned and the smoke of the burning
votes is signal to the expectant crowd
outside that no election has taken place.
This is called scrutiny II the votes
be added to those already given to one
cardinal, it is called access II the
cardinals of two parties unite and secure
a two-thirds vote for one candidate, 1T is
called compromise II by public
movement, particular candidate be
carried as il by acclamation, the election
is said to be by inspiration Pope Plus

Going via Tasauaa.

Bob. Fulkerson, in the employ of Stephen Birch, of the Chittyna Mining and Exploration company, made a hurried trip over Marshall Pass and down the Tasnuna to the Copper river. The object heinz to ascertain the condition of the coun. try and the advisability of using that route for sleading into the Chittyna country. Bob. left here on Feb. ? and returned on the 18th. taking five days to return. He re- ports the conditions very favorable and the weather on the interior quite cold. The rivers are frozen over-there being an occasional opening, which is no detriment to the trail. The snow is not more than eighteen inches deep at any point and the drop below the cam yon is quite gradual, 50 everything being favorable the large outfit of the above mentioned company will be taken over that trail.

Frequently poles and wires are buried under twenty feet of snow. At other times gales of wind sweep over the track, uproot- ing trees, which fall across the wires and disrupt the line.
 Owing to such causes, telegraphic

communication with the Yukon has been interrupted twice, for con- siderable periods, during the pres ent winter. The department of public works has decided to over come the difficulty of the situation by substituting for poles and wires an insulated cable. The cable will be laid on the surface of the ground, and, it is thought, will remain in tact under the most exacting con- ditions, without any special protec- tion. Surface cables of this sort have been tried in Central Africa with satisfactory results.
 The work of laying the cable section of the Yukon telegraph line will he commenced probably as soon as the ground is clear of snow in the spring.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, April 30.-Some hopes were
entertained that yesterdays stock market
was preliminary to better movement
of prices today owing to the fact that the
professional traders had refrained from
taking their profits on the days rise be-
fore going home But the first half hour
of today's market demonstrated that that
operation had been simply deferred The
effort of the professionals to take their
profits made manifest that there was no
absorbent powers in the market, so that
prices fell weakly back and showed no
recuperative power for the rest of the
day. The conditions which prompted the
buying of yesterday were not changed in
any essential particular today, but the
traders found that the buying prompted
by the favorable factors was strictly
limited to themselves. The net result was
that prices today practically retraced the
course of yesterday and left the trading
and commission house element in the
street more discouraged than ever. The
excellent showing of earnings by the
coalers, embodied thus far in the New
Jersey Central, Erie and Lehigh Valley
reports, was supplemented today by the
March report for the trading, which was
even more convincing of the present pros
perity of the anthracite trade owing both
to its large share in that trade and the
larger proportional increase in it's earn
ings The surplus of all the Reading
companies, including the railway and the
coal and the coal and iron company, was
shown to be 1913, 4S6 larger than that for
March, 1902 Nevertheless profit-taking
made an early impression on the Erie
stocks and later upon Reading itself.
The March report for St Paul showed
an increase saved for net earnings of
$111 OPS out of an increase in the gross
of $685. 400, while for Union Pacific the
increase in net earnings was 1851 ,679, left
from an increase in gross of 622, 17S.
These roads and those in similar territory
were as little affected by the favorable
showing as the eoalers. Missouri Pa
cific made some resistance although in
spired statements were current which
We're obviously intended as a preparation
for showing on decreased net earnings
n March by that system. The reaction
in copper and in silver had a special in
nuence in Weakening Amalgamated
Copper and the Mexican Railroad stocks.
The notable strength of the foreign ex-
change market indicated the possibility
of further gold exports and the reten-
ton of the Bank of England rate at
per cent was once more disappointment.

New York, April 9O.-Talk of frost in
Texas and the territories caused consid-
cradle nervousness among shorts this
morning, which developed into quite
scramble to cover during the early al
ternoon. The bull leader picked up July
in small quantities throughout the day,
and a few minutes before the close
bought 5000 bales in one lot. Then he
walked out of the exchange and in his
absence the market was hammered down
to 1905 for July and 966 for August,
which goes to show that sentiment Is
very bearish, and that there is but one
power holding cotton UP, but the support
from this single source is equal to alb
solute control in the May and July po-
sitions, and keeps the shorts in August
and the later options very nervous
There was but little outside business,
although one private wire house sold
1000 bales In the last five minutes.
The weather is unseasonably cool over
the Southwestern part of the cotton belt
and crop reports are much mixed. The
movement continues heavy. Two thous-
and bales of cotton reached here yester-
day from Liverpool for delivery on May
contracts. TARRANT q h1NG,

New York. April 30.-Weather is now
playing the leading role and as a conse-
quence trading in new crop months is be-
ginning to divert public interest from the
contested condition of the near positions.
Not that the latter are being neglected,
for today they have shown marked vital
ity on news that frost threatens the young
growth in Texas and replanting would
further retard first receipts of new cot
ton In view of the recent loud com
plants of drought from the Western half
of the belt it is certainly amusing to see
the general rain now falling entirely ig-
nored and prices for winter months ad-
vancing on the simple possibility of a
frost in North Texas. Now rains are here
they are a fact and they insure the new
crop against disaster for weeks to come.
To our minds they are of such Importance
that they discount ten frosts OF the kind
threatened But later advices from Texas
this afternoon say that weather is get
ting warmer and frost appears now out of
the question The bull clique was quite
active for time and bid up May July
and August until an advance of 10 to II
points was established. The reason for
their activity was the clearance of 80 900
bales from New Orleans cotton which was
held up by the dock strike just settled
AS Liverpool watches Texas with a sharp
eye and the news from that quarter since
the rains is necessarily favorable to the
new crop, wa expect lower prices there
tomorrow for late months.

Especial to News and Observer
New York. April 30.-It is difficult to
add anything to what has been said
about a market of this kind. The real
feature of the day was the approach
ing cold wave in the West, which start
ed more or less short covering in the
fall positions Temperatures in the
Northern portion of the cotton belt were
rather low, with frosts predicted in
some sections for tonight. Cotton re-
quires different weather from this and
we cannot expect anything but anxiety
as long as climatic conditions remain
SO unreasonable. AS long as the supply
Of actual cotton appears so inadequate to
current needs, there is every opportuni-
ty for scalping operations in October
cotton with money to be made on every
break. Operations of this character ex-
tending over a series of few weeks
will return more profit than any invest
ment we can name We are not will
ing to advise short selling of the sum
mer positions.
Cotton futures today ranged as follows;
