IT is reported that leading republican
politicians will ask the national repub-
lican committee to select its own chair
man and the campaign managers regard
less of the wishes of the President.
This unusual and sensational proceeding
would indicate the strong feeling of OPP
position which exists among prominent
republicans to the Presidents selection
of Mr.. Cortelyou, the Secretary of
Commerce and Labor, as the campaign
leader. Behind the movement are said
10 be several Of the members OF the
Senate, and connected with it are prom.
inent members of the national commit
tee and influential members of the
House, and it is the understanding that
it has developed far enough to make its
authors confident of success. No one
has attempted to deny that the selection
of Mr.. Cortelyou for the place so long
filled by Senator Hanna was unsatis-
factory to the majority of republican
Congressional leaders, but Mr.. Roose-
welt knows of his own personal unpopu-
larity and has no idea of being thrown
over by the willy politicians if he can
help it, so he will insist to the last upon

Minister Transforms Condition.

Berlin, June "a dispatch to the
Magdeburger Zeitung, from st. Peters
burg, says that the condition of Foreign
Minister Lamsdorff, who was attacked
a few day ago by Prince Dolgorouki, is
serious. The Prince, the dispatch adds,
dealt three blows on the Russian Foreign
Minister'S head, with a stick having a
steel knob on top of it. Lamsdorif
bled profusely and wss uncou-
ecious when he was carried home.
A second dispatch received today from
the Russian capital says it is ruTored
there that the Prince has apologized to
the Foreign Minister, stating that the
attack was made in moment of extreme
anger. This, says the dispatch, has
elIectually closed the affair, so far as the
Prince and Count Lamsdorff are con-
cerned. The Car, however, is not corr
tent to let the incident drop, according
to the report, but is considering the
ACCESSIBILITY Of appointing commission
to iook into the Princes mental condi-
ton. The dispatch adds that it is be-
lieve in some quarters that the Foreign
Minister'S resignation is imminent, as
his position has become untenable.

New York Stock Market.

New York, June 3, IL a. m.-The
stock market showed further dullness,
but harder tone prevailed. Improve
ments generally were only fractional, but
they we're virtually continuous. The
only influence to which the higher level
can be ascribed is the covering of shorts,
induced by the absence of important
liquidation. The firmness of the specu-
laIion continued into the second hour,
but there was no indication of the de-
velopment of animation.

ORDERS have been issued by several
cotton mill managers in New England
instructing agents to curtail production
ON account of the depression in the tex
hleindustry. Many mills in southern
and central New England have been
running on short time all the spring,
and at present about fifty thousand OPP
eratives are affected. Employees of the
Pemberton mills of Lawrence were notl-
fed yesterday that the plant would be
shut down on Saturday for two months.
A similar notice was posted also at the
Methuen mills, in Methuen. About
1000 hands are employed by the Two
concerns. Mills of the Wamsutta Cor
poration, the largest in New BEDFORD
were closed last night for the remainder
of the week. Edwards Manufacturing
Company will close its mills at Augusta,
Me-, in July for two months. There
are about 400 operatives IN Augusta
The ebb of the tide which has been at
the high.water mark for the past few
wears is becoming more pronounced
daily. Already many thousands of rail-
way employees in different parts of the
country have been furlOughed, and there
is reason to believe that forces are to
be contracted in other localities. 1t is
hoped the depression will not become
general and that that existing or about
to be precipitated will be brief.
