BAILEY IN The CAMPAIGN
Governor VIII Make Speeches for
Roosevelt.

Governor Bailey has accepted an in
vitation from the Repu blican national
committee to do some campaigning for
Roosevelt and the national ticket. He
will give the committee at least one
week and possibly two.
Some time ago Congressman ]. A.
.Tawney, chairman of the Republican
national speakers bureau at Chicago,
wrote Governor Bailey urgently in
viting him to make some speeches un-
der the direction of the national COM
mittee. The governor replied that if
one week would be satisfactory he
would promise that much time to the
committee, but he could not promise
more, although his affairs might shape
themselves so that he could get away
longer. Today he received a letter
from Chairman Tawney stating that
he would be glad to get the governors
services for a week and longer if pos
sible.
Governor Bailey does not know
where he will be sent. Chairman
Tawney will notify him as soon as the
assignments are made.

criticisms of the Panama climate,
must not, however. be interpreted as
meaning that there are not unfavor-

do in ali tropical lands and of course
the conditions of maintaining health

RUSSIANS ASSUME OFFENSIVE.
General Kuropatlzin Attempts to Re

st. Petersburg, Sept. 3.-1:3O p. m.
"A new phase of the battle of Lao
Yang has now begun. The main
operations have been transferred to
the north bank of the Taitse. where
General Kuropatkin has assumed the
offensive, hurting the bulk of his army
against Field Marshal Oyama's right,
under General Kuroki, and at the
same time holding the Japanese CEN

river in check with the force left on
the south bank for that purpose. The
operations on the south side are now
regarded as being of secondary i'm
portance at the office where Kuro-
patkin's action in throwing the bulk
of his army across the river to the right
bank in order to protect his rear and
give him an opportunity to try con-
clusions single handed with kuroki is
considered to be brilliant strategical

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, March 29.--Union Pacific
made movement in today's stock mark
ct similar in character, although OF less
violence, than that on Monday OF last
week preceding the announcement OF the
plan of distribution of the Northern Sc
curities assets. But this isolated move
ment failed to signally carry the gen
eral market with it. The sluggishness OF
the general market seemed Adequately
accounted for In the early dealings by
the conflicting movement in United States
Steel preferred. which sold down more
than a point below yesterdays closing.
The general list seemed to be held IN
suspension by these conflicting movements,
but the discrepancy became marked later
in the day when the pressure against
United States Steel. preferred, was re-
leved, without q recovery, however, while
the rise in Union Pacific bcame more
buoyant. The renewed strength in the
merger securities on the curb was the
only response that might be in sympathy
with the rise in Union Pacific. The
general list remained inert until the rally
just at the close. The source or the mo-
tive for the buying of Union Pacific was
as much a mystery as ever. but there
can be no doubt that the suspicion has
gained hold on the speculative COM
munity that ell is not peaceful in the
process of undoing the Northern Securities
merger. The impression in Wall Street is
that the Union Pacific interests are stand
ing OFT for the return of their original
holdings of Northern Pacific and the con-
| troll OF that system, while it is also
felt that there is no more disposition to
Yield this peaceably than at any other
previous time. Reports of enormous loans
made on Union Pacific collateral kept
alive the curiosity as to the absorption
OF that stock. but threw no light on the
question. 1t was not until the closing
dealings that the market showed any

Der market when the government report

the American holder to get nervous. Cot
ton is not likely to work much below 14.50

cotton. There is too much cotton wanted
on the other side. Buy on any good break
under 1900, and we would be inclined to
take profits on any bulge over 1900 for
time. We want to see spot buying be-
fore saying hold for a good rise. The
cotton situation was never stronger and
We believe in buying on such breaks as

was again the feature OF todays market
and on fairly large transactions the price
was carried up to ST. the highest point
yet reached on this movement. It's be-
ginning to be whispered on the street
that the steady accumulation OF this stock
is in anticipation of an early increase in
the dividend rate from 4 to 5 per cent.

buoyancy which augurs well for the fu-

The grain markets were strong and
higher at the opening with corn in par
ticular demand. owing to light offerings.
May wheat sold UP to 9712 and July to

vances in wheat were lost on rather free
selling which quickly carried prices down
to about a cent below yesterdays closing
price. Corn and oats also reeeded frac-
