Would Appreciate Honor Of a Nomlna.
ton This Fall.

Rochester, Aug. %. - Hon. ]. B
Stanchfleld Of Elmira has written tc
Charles j. Bissell of this city regard
ing his candidacy for the Democratic
nomination for governor The letter
follows:
Dear Mr.. Bissell-I have your let
ter Of recent date in reference to the
existing political situation. While !
have not been what might be termed
an aggressive candidate for the COVER
norship, nevertheless I should keenly
appreciate the honor flowing from a
nomination this fall
'In the campaign of 1900 I accepted
the nomination and became the party
standard bearer at the urgent and in,
sistent demand of Democrats of re,
pute and standing all over the state
In entering upon that campaign, did
not count the cost or give serious con
sideration to the question of success.
Had ! consulted my own Judgment
I should have declined to make the
run
"I have always-since I became q
voter, and cast my first balfot for Mr
Tilden in Unsupported the Demo
cratic ticket, in season and out II
did not occur to me in 1900 that in ac
cepting the nomination, which was
practically forced upon me, | was tax
ing myself out Of the catalogue of so
called 'availables,' or pursuing q
course destructive Of any honorable
political ambition.
81 have never been spoken of as q
fairweather Democrat and I die
everything in my power from the day
of my nomination until the polls were
closed to encompass the success of the
Democratic party. Whether | did i'll
or well, in the race. is for others tc
1udge-certainly no one can question
my sincerity of purpose. In that cam
paign I polled very nearly 100000
votes-enOugh in any ordinary elec
tion tn have given me victory by a
plurality of 10000.
Such a result, as you suggest, ought
not to initiate against me. shall
rot endeavcr by any coercive meas
ures to socnre the nomination .his
fall, but If the party as a whole look
upon my political career with favor
and entertain the belief that at all
times and under all circumstances !
have been Democrat. and for those
reasons see fit to tender me the nom
ination, would accept it. Just as
heartily and with all the vigor that is
in me. shall support the national
candidates Of the party. and the state
ticket hereafter to be selected. ire

Thanking you for your tender Of
support in the matter. and entertain
ing a warm and kind appreciation OF
the motives that prompted 1t, believe
me, with regard.

OIL PRODUCERS PROSPEROUS.
District Little Affected by Depression
In Other Lines.

Oil City, Aug. 22.-Pennsylvania Pc
troleum is selling now at $3.50. The
highest point 1t reached this year was
E1S5, in January. The highest point
It reached in 1903 was $l90. and this
time last year 1t was selling at $l.5G.
Four years ago 1t was selling at sl.35.
At no time in the last decade, except
Ing last year, has oil sold as high as 1t
is selling now, and now it is selling
lower than at any time this year
Industry in and around Oil City,
Franklin and Titusville is in a very
satisfactory condition. In small
way only has this territory been af-
lected by the recent depression. Rail-
road business fell off. But with oil
It was different Men are seldom or
never laid off When there is little
demand oil Is pumped from the wells
and into the pipe lines just the same.
1t is stored in the East When there
Is little In store the price Is high;
when there is plenty the price goes
down
No freight congestion can hurt this
industry that. through It's wonderful
system of pipe lines, is Independent
of railroads. By the same token, a
coal shortage, or mill, factory or mine
strikes are not felt, but they are re-
fected in the sales of oil, and late re-
ports at Oil City give the best indica'
ton It is s~possible to obtain anywhere
Of revival in the industrial world.

Conservatism rules the buying
movement, which. while gaining In
force at some leading markets, still
lacks the snap SHOWN in former years
at this time.
The latenoss of the crop season, re-
ports Of wheat ard cotton crop deter
ioriation, fortified by continued wheat
price advances and revisions Of quo
tations, notably in iron and steel and
cotton goods breed a feeling of inde
cision.
Production Of cotton goods is ut a
l)w point because of the Fall River
strike, and also because of curtail-
ment forced upon manufacturers by
the change from old high-priced to
new low-priced raw material.
In Industrial lines the feature has
been the extension of the building
trades de-up at New York, so that
fully $4,000 men are involved direct
ly or indirectly This is the leading
industrial disturbance at present, but
the meat strike. the print cloth tie-up
the Alabama coal dispute and smaller
troubles in ether lines, coupled with
curtailment Of production In iron and
steel and coal mining, render a very
large number Of industrial workers
idle at present.

Twelve Deaths From Tornado.

A tornado struck ST. Paul Saturday
night and cut pathway about half
mile in width and eight miles in
length through the business and resi-
dence district, leaving ruin and deyas-
tation in its track.
Twelve persons were killed and the
list of those injured is long one, and
several people are reported fatally
hurt The property damage was i'm
mense, conservative estimates plac'
Ing 1t at s1000,000.
The downtown business district was
hit hard. many offices and business
blocks, including two theaters, being
completely riddled and the stocks of
wholesale houses seriously damaged
by the floods of rain that accompanied
the wind
After causing havoc In st. Paul. the
tornado swept onward to Minneapolis
and its suburbs. Here, however. the
destruction of property was not so
great, although telephone and tele-
graph wires we're torn down in great
numbers. For four hours the Twin
cities werc cut off from communica-
ton with the outside world.

PACKERS ASK INJUNCTION.
To Restrain City From Interfering
With Lodging Arrangements.

Chicago, aug. %. - Chicago meat
packers yesterday asked for an injunc
ton preventing the city of Chicago
from interfering with the housing OF
employees in stockyards plants during
the continuance of the butchers
strike.
The injunction was asked in the
name of the Hammond Packing com.
pany and it insisted that the com.
panies were violating no law and were
acting entirely within their rights,
Attorneys for the city charged in
their reply that the building of the
Hammond company did not contain
the requisite number of fire escapes
stairs or windows called for by the
ordinance; that the second llosr with
only one flight of stairs leading from
1t contained 100 cots and that the
danger of fire was constant and i'm

Arguments were heard hy Judge
Brontano for three hours and they

COAL PRICE TO BE RAISED.
Philadelphia Dealers Considering Pos
sibllity of charaine 81 Sept. I.

Philadelphia, Aug. 22.-Retail coal
dealers are considering the possibility
of raising the price OF anthracite on
Sept. to 81 ton for the prepared
sizes-$725 when carried In They
are now considering two questions:
First. will consumers stand the extra
tax? and second, can all the dealers
be relied upon to stand out for the in
creased price if their customers balk?
There are nearly 500 coal dealers in
Philadelphia. Ever since the coal
strike they have been complaining
that their margin of profit is too small.
When the strike was settled President
Baer to prevent undue prices being
charged the public while the supply OF
coal was short, virtually fixed $G.75 as
the maximum price consumers should
pay.
Retailers say they can now make at
most 15c atom and that this profit Is
inadequate They buy coal at S3.15
mine price. plus freight rate, $l7O, so
that the coal actually costs them S5.45.
That leaves on a selling price of SG.75
a margin of sl.30 per ton for expenses
and profit.
