fTHlllD TICKET PLANS. Democratic Gold Advocates Discussing Ways and Means; MEETING AT INDIANAPOLIS. A Convention Will Probably Be. Called to Nominate Candidates—Other Gossip of Political Interest From Various Points. INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 8.——The provision- al national committee of those Democrats who refuse to indorse the Chicago plat- form and ticket is holding its first meet- ing here. It will first consider the ques- tion of calling another national Demo- cratic convention. After this matter is settled and the character of the call is agreed upon will come up the question as to when and where the convention shall be held. ‘ _ There are questions of policy to be pass- ed upon as well as those of time and place, and the meeting is participated in by more than the body of committeemen composed of one from each state. While more than two-thirds of the states have representa- tives here as members of the provisional national committee,.there are more ad- 'visOry visitors than ccmmitteemen. The occasion is more in thenature of a general , conference of the gold standard Democrats lthan that of a committee meeting. The temporary-organization will he succeeded :by a permanent organization which will ‘ continue until a national convention is iheld and the customary party machinery 1is made up in the usual way. The execu- tive committee will make a report of all that has been done up to the present time and then'turn' everything over to the na- 'tional committee. ' John C. Bullitt of Philadelphia said: “The Democrats want something around which to rally. There is a strong senti- ment in Pennsylvania among the Dem- ocrats against Bryan and free silver." ‘Mr. Bullitt said that he was of the deter— mination to aid and giVe encouragement to the gold standard sentiment in what- ever way it was possible. F. W. M. Cutcheon of St. Paul, speak- ing from the standpointof Minnesota gold Democrats, thought a third ticket should be named, provided it could be done with- out the election of Bryan. “It is worth our while,” said he, “to maintain the Democratic party. We don’t want to be absorbed by the Republican party, and therefore cannot vote for Mo Kinley." . Mr. Cutcheon said that in Minnesota a third ticket would draw 12 Democratic votes where McKinley would not draw one. For the third ticket he favored John "G. Carlisle for president and E. S. Bragg for vice president. Ex-Congressman Outhwaite of Colum- bus favors a third ticket, but has no choice of candidates. “The primary purpose of this movement,” said he, “is to preserve the Democratic party and its principles This necessarily involves the defeat of the Populistio ticket named at Chicago." . Altgeld and Jones. ' CHICAGO, Aug. 8.-—-The Times-Herald says: “A struggle is on between Governor Altgeld and Chairman Jones of the Demo- cratic national committee and will be fought out at th New York session of the committee next uesday. While Governor Altgeld will not be present, he will be represented, and from present indications Chairman Jones will be compelled to re- cede from certain positions he has taken. If certain of the western leaders have their way, Senator Jones will be forced prac- tically to abdicate his position as com- mander in chief of the Democratic forces. “While the complaint is 'general all along the western line, the difl‘iculty has proceeded to the point of an open rupture between Senator Jones and Governor Alt- geld. The latter in private conversation has declared that no more unfortunate se- lection could have been made. Governor Altgeld holds Chairman Jones personally responsible for the Sewall-Watson muddle and is of the opinion that had the Ar« kansas senator remained away from St. Louis matters would have adjusted them- selves in much better shape. “Some sharp correspondence and tele- grams have ~passed between Altgeld and Jones. When Jones left St. Louis t the close of the Populist convention, . an- nounced his intention of meeting Altgeld in Springfield or Chicago before he went east. He left his Arkansas home one day llast week, and a score of Western Demo- :oratilc leaders came to Chicago for the pur— pose of having a conference preliminary to the first formal meeting of the national committee. Senator Jones went from St. ,Louis direct to Washington, and in reply to the statement that Governor Altgeld 'had waited two days in Springfield for the purpose of a meeting said that he had no idea that the governor was anxious to see .him. The Altgeld people charge a painful lack of energy on the chairman’s part and claim that he is not acceptable to the Pop- ulists.” - ilk-Chairman Taubeneck Hopeful. CHICAGO, Aug. 8.—H. E. Taubeneck, ,ex-chairman of the Populist national com- ,mittce, has come to Chicago for consulta- ltion with leaders of his party and the Dem- ocratic party. He is confident that the ‘Popullsts of the whole country will vote lfor Bryan and has little doubt that satis- factory arrangements will be made for electoral tickets in all the states. In Illi- nois it is understood that four-of the Dem- ocratic electors will be retired and four Populists substituted. It is also the under- standing that at least one of the candi. dates on the htate Democratic ticket will be withdrawn and his place filled by the Populist convention which meets next week. He expresses the opinion that every- thing will work out all right not only in this state, but throughout the country, al- though he says the recent interviews with Senators Jones and Butler and the utter- ances of the vice presidential nominee, Watson, have so confused him that he hardly knows what is going on anywhere. Utah Republicans. SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 8.—Chairman J. E. Deely of the Republican state cen- tral committee has issued a call for a meeting of the committee and takes the occasion to make some suggestions to the voters of the state. He says that under three years of Democratic administration industrial interests have been paralzyed, and that the people have been waiting im- patiently to restore the epublican party to power. He says that ryan’s free trade record is such that the Republicans of 'Utah should think seriously before putting the various industries of the state in the lhands of such a candidate and such a .party. ‘ He recommends that the Repub- llican party place in nomination McKinley lelectors, and that all Republicans unite in the election of a congressman and local Advertise in the GAznrrl. ; self. know that I will retire just as soon as my- :z'r H 111insz N one o A z, ET T, oi officers, and that at the primaries and the convention no test shall be made that Would alienate any true Republican from allegiance to the organization. Senator Quay to Retire. PITTSBUEG, :Aug. 8.-—Senator Quay, in an interview at Beaver, announced his purpose to retire from politics at the expi- ration of his term in the senate. This dec- laration was made on the eve of his depar- ture for Florida, and he stipulated that what he said should not be published un« til he was cut of reach. Said Colonel Quay: "I have seen it stated by others that I would probably quit politics soon, but I have refrained from talking about it myself until now. When my term expires in the senate, I will quit the public serv- ice. I will not accept a renomination and will retire to spend the remainder of my life with my family.” Asked who his suc- cessor‘might be, Senator Quay said: “I do not know and do not care to predict. I have heard much newspaper talk that Sen- ator Donald Cameron would succeed him- Of this I do not know, but I do term is up.” The Kansas Populists. ABILENE, Kan, Aug. 8.-The Populist state convention remained in session prac- tically all night. The convention nomi~ hated the Rev. J. B. Botkin for congress— man at large over E. C. Little by a vote of 440 to 227. For lieutenant governor, J. M. Dinsmore, Neosho county; A. M. Harvey, Shawnee county, and J. Bohrer, Rice county, were placed in nomination. The first ballot showed that A. M. Harvey lad a clear majority and his nomination was made unanimous. For attorney gen- eral L. C. Boyle of Fort Scott was nomi- nated; for secretary of state W. E. Bush of Mankato. For state treasurer David H. Hefielbour of Miami was chosen. Refused the Nomination. LA GRANGE, Tex., Aug. 8. —-State Sena- tor J. H. Shelburne of Austin was nomia hated for congress on the three hundred and seventy-seventh ballot by the Demo- cratic convention of the Tenth district. The district is represented by Miles Crow- ley, Democrat. Ear-Congressman Walter Gresham of Galveston would have had the nomination, but he refused to take it on- less the convention repudiated the Chicago platform and adopted one indorsing the financial course of Cleveland and Carlisle. This the convention refused to do, and Gresham retired. President Cleveland Speaks. NEW, YORK, Aug. a—In answer to an inquiry about the truth of a report pub- lished in this city that President Cleveland had made known his disapproval of the proposed third ticket, the president tele- graphs as follows to The Post from Buz- zards Bay, Mass: “It is absolutely untrue that I have given any advice touching the course of the Indianapolis conference.

T., Aug. 8.—News reached Tucson that the International Bank of Nogales has been held up. President John Dessart was the only person in the bank when two armed men demanded the money. Three accomplices remained on watch outside. ,Mr. Dessart fired, when the robberst'ried' to kill him, and he held them off, though slightly wounded, till the noise attracted assistance. The rob- bers then fied, pursued by a posse. Later reports from a ranch in Sonora, nine ”miles 'over the Mexican line, state that five Americans passed there Well armed. One appeared to be wounded. The sheriff and a deputy left Tucson for the line to head oi! the bandits in case they should swerve again to this side. The majorities cannot yet The Park Theater Burned Again. NIAGARA FALLS, Aug. 8.—-The Park theater that was'built upon the site of the one destroyed ayear ago was itself in turn burned today; loss, $60,000; partly in- sured. The playhouse was only part of the structure, which also was occupied by a bazaar and restaurant. It had been used a few hours before to bring off a prize fight, and it is probable that some smol— dering cigar caused the blaze. A \Vonderful Story From ’Frisco. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 8.-—James Camp- bell, the rnillionaire sugar planter, who mysteriously dropped out of sight for two days, says he was imprisoned and robbed byOliver W. Winthrop, who attempted to obtain the oapitalist’s signature to a 820.- 000 check as the price of his liberty.

MONTREAL, Aug. 8.—-The St. Hyacinth'e chamber of commerce has passed a reso- lution expressing its approval of the action of the banks in that district in charging a. discount of 10 per cent on all American money.

The Almost Unprecedented Boom In Cot- ton—The Possible Causes of the Great Flurry—The'Other Markets. . ~ Failures of the Week. NEW YORK, Aug. 8.—R. G. Dun & Co’s weekly review of trade says: The sensational collapse of speculators ' at Chicago who controlled‘Dia'mond Match and New York Biscuit stocks and had hoisted them to fancy figures, with the consequent‘closing‘of the Chicago Stock .Exchange ‘for a period yet indefinite, ' though followed by remarkably few fail- ures, brings a sudden change in monetary conditions throughout the country. At least a month earlier than had been ex- pected Chicago has drawn heavily upon its bank balances here, and withdrawals Of"other western funds may naturally re- sult. Europe was also moved to sell American stocks rather freely so that the average of 60‘most active railroad stocks fell about $1.34 per share and the average of trust stocks about $1.18.“ The instant co-operatlon of moneyed interests atChi- cage to restrict the disturbanc'e'deserved praise and did much good, but’it is not possible to avoid some shook topubliccon- fidenca and a quick tightening of eastern money markets which already shuts ofi commercial loans almost tirely. The collapse also increased ' . ' bankers and other lenders regarding loans on securities of a similar character. Other financial events during the week were un- important. . The syndicate continued to control foreign exchange with ease, and a deficit of nearly $8,000, 000 in government revenue for the first part of the month ex- cites no alarm. It is important that the increase 01 merchandise exports, $800,000, or 12 per cent over last year for the week, and the decrease of imports, $700,000‘ or 7-.7 per cent, still continue to limit the sum pay- able abroad. In five weeks the increase oi exports has been $4,800,000, or 16 per cent, and the decrease of imports, $9, 200,000, 01 18 per cent, which helps to balance foreign accounts. ' \Vheat and Cotton. The movement of wheat is again large, Atlantic exports being 1,761,033 bushels for the week, flour included, against 753,- 330 last year, and since Julv‘l, 8,858, 704 bushels, against 4,728,919 in -t year. Con flicting crop reports are as numerous and noisy as ever, but the more reliable mark up winter wheat to. 3" ,000,000 bushels, and the movement ten .3 to sustain such estimates. for since July 1 western receipts have been 17,633,332 bushels, against 9,330,020 last year. It is not easy to be- lieve that with prices 10 cents lower than a year ago farmers have marketed frOm a smaller crop 90 per cent‘more wheat. Corn is also moving rapidly with western re- ceipts of 4,873,091 bushels, against 1,661,- 074 last year. , , The .~T. .ation as. to cotton 'is. doubtless critics: :. r many producers. - Extremely hot azu dry weather has done serious harm, l_-. r. it must indeed be an extraor- dinary c...;x.litlon that reduces the yield 20 per cent in August. Men of muchknowl- edge and experience but a few days ago judged a yield of 10,000,000 bales probable, and if they were. 1,000,000 bales too high, still those who now predict only 7,000,000 bales are likely to err in the opposite di~ rection. With large acreage it is almost safe to remember that only apart of the crop is ever affected by misfortunes be- tWecn Aug. 1 and frost. uThe price rose almost beyond precedent, three-eighths on Wednesday alone, and ;the alarm will at least be of service to planters, in giving them betterpric'es, whether buyers realize profits or not. ‘ Labor is more disturbed than usual. The great strike of garment workers here has much extended, the strike at Cleve- land has broken out again and involves several other branches of labor; the iron furnace men of the Shenango valley resist a reduction to the wages of May, 1895, though Mahoning valley workers do not; the iron works throughout the country are striving to cut down ccstin order to keep in operation; the iron mines of the Gogebio range are stopping; the suspension of cot- ton mills has become more general, and over 4, 000,000 spindles are said to be idle at Fall River ,alone, and probably three- eighths or more of the entire producing capacity in the country; the rubber works have mostly stopped, and notwithstanding the light weight opening, a number of woolen mills. Evidently the working force and also wages have been reduced. The Iron Markets. The iron markets grow less demOralized -in tone, because all the associations de- cided to maintain prices for this month, but the markets are not stronger in vol- ume of orders or purchases. Pressure to sell, even at concessions, is the prevailing rule, and prices are almost nominal. 'Con- tracts have been given for Brooklyn plates and Fifth avenue pipe, each about 13,000 tone, but failure to sell city bonds may do- lay execution of either. Otherwise the de- mand is not better than a week ago. Mi- nor metals are generally weak, but prices of coke and coal are held without varia- tion. Orders for boots and shoes are grow- ing scanty, as buyers generally feel that the advance asked cannot be held,‘especial- ly as hides have again declined nearly 5 per cent for the week at Chicago, though leather is dull and unchanged. Curtail- ment of production in cottons does not bring a stranger market, and a few quota- tions are reduced. Sales of lightwoight woolens are disappointing and mainly for cheap grades, and in some cases prices are again reduced. Sales of Wool for the week were 2,74“.400 pounds, against 6,259, 300 last year and 9, 271,700 in 1892. The volume Of domestic business reflect— ed by exchanges was 7 per cent smaller than last year for the first week of Au- gust, and 8.3 per cent smaller than in 1892. Failures for the week have been 240 in the United States, against 268 last year, and 32 in Canada, against 43 last year. , - ' Twelve Killed at a Fire.
