cal Notes.

Saratoga, n. Y, Sept. 20. - The
hotel lobbies and corridors, streets and
places of public resort-are filled with
Democrats from all parts of the state
discussing the probable action of the
state convention, which meets here to-
day. Since the arrival of ex-senator
Hill, State Senator McCarren, William
+. Sheehan, August Belmont, ex-Sen-
ator Murphy and Charles f. Murphy,
leader of Tammany Hall, conferences
have been in progress almost constant
ly. The net result Of the developments
is the selection Of Duncan Campbell
Lee, of Ithaca, to be permanent chair
man of the convention.
General Impression Favors Shepard.
It is the general impression that.
agreements will be reached and the
question Of the nomination for the gov
ernorship settled in conference, so that
only one name shall be presented to
the convention and the nomination be
unanimously made on the first ballot.
The undercurrent of feeling is that
unless some compromise becomes nec-
essary the convention will result in
the nomination of Edward M. Shepard,
of Brooklyn. The belief is prevalent
that Shepard has the support of the
national leaders, and this belief gives
strength to. the Shepard movement, al
though. no one in authority will admit
that other than state considerations
will influence the action of the conven-
ton.
No Message from Judge Parker.
William f.. Sheehan, who saw Judge
Parker at Esopus Sunday, said that
he is not the bearer of any message
from the presidential candidate. Sen
ator McCarren declared himself unal-
terably opposed to the nomination Of
Shepard, and announced withoutsquali-
fication that if Shepard is nominated
it must be without the aid or consent
of Kings county. Today's session or
the convention probably. will be de-
voted entirely to preliminary organiza-
ton, including the speech of the tenn
porary. chairman. William B. Horn

GOVERNOR HUNT ARRIVES.
He Talks of Conditions on island ot
Porto Rico.

Porto Rico.
New York, April 18.--GovernOI
Hunt, Of Porto Rico, arrived here to
day on the steamer Ponce from San
Juan. He will remain in the United
States about two weeks.
Governor Hunt said he had not
heard Of his appointment as judge Oh
the United States district court OF
Montana and Wyoming, and would say
nothing about his intentions in regard
to the appointment. He will spend
considerable time in Washington in
connection with his official duties and
any event will return to Porto Rico
at the end of two weeks.
Speaking of conditions on the Is.
land, Governor Hunt said:
Just at present a strong effort is
being made to promote a market in
the United States for Porto Rico by
preparing for an extensive exhibit al
St Louis. Coffee will be the feat
ure of the islands exhibit, though to-
bacco, fruit and cotton will be well
displayed. Americans are planting
oranges quite extensively. The
groves are doing well, and investors
feel encouraged. Cotton Is attracting
attention, too, and bids fair to be very
profitable. There are no pests to en-.
danger cotton. American capital is
finding its way into Porto Rico, and
conditions are generally encouraging
in all respects. They will be great.
sy improved, however, if we can bet
ter the markets for coffee by secur.
ing reciprocal trade advantages with
Spain. This, we hope, may be done
before long.
1.-THE coffee crop will be about nor.
NAL this year, for the first time since
the hurricane and if a slightly higher
price can be had for the crop, plant.
ers will be able to relieve their es.
states of part of the old mortgages and
debts, and will be satisfied.
Public affairs are in excellent con.
dition. 1t is probable that the value
of the export of the current fiscal year
will exceed the value of imports by
a millio~ dollars. Trade with the
United States increases rapidly, and
will continue to grow as the sugar, to.
bacco, fruit and cotton are being ex.
tended"
