A PLAN OF MIDDLE RQADERS A‘ Qui’et Day For the Democratic Candi- date In Upper Red Hook—One Opin- ion of Fusion In 'Missouri—The Third. Ticket Movement. NEW YORK, Aug. 22.—The Evening Post prints the following special dispatch from its Chicago correspondent: ,, » Prominent Populists here say that if Bryan fails to accept their nomination an- other convention may be held, or a candi- date may be named by a national commit- tee. After the Populist convention the middle of the road delegates selected a provisional national committee to decide upon a course of action should Bryan re- fuse their nomination. Henry F. Call, formerly of Kansas, but now of New York, was chosen chairman, and that the com- mittee is about to take some action seems likely from the fact that a Chicago Popu- list has received a letter from Mr. Call, in which he requests the names and addresses of prominent Populists who were opposed to the nomination of Bryan and would be in favor of substituting another candidate in his place. It also asked information as to the probable result of such action on the part of the middle of the road Populists. Chicago Populists of the middle of the road tendencies believe that Candidate Watson is in sympathy with the move- ment and his recent attacks on Bryan were made in ahticipation of such course. Seymour F. Norton of Illinois, who was a candidate opposed to Bryan at St. Louis, is said to have been approached on the sub- ject. He has given no sign, but it is ru- mored that he is willing to accept. Altgeld and Hinrichsen have told him that he can have the nomination for an- ditor on the Illinois Bryan Democratic ticket, but he declined. it, and his friends say that the reason may be found in his belief that Bryan would withdraw or be removed from the Populistic ticket. Should Norton or some other man be nom- inated it is believed that the Western Pop- ulists wouldremain with Bryan and Sew- all, while the southern and eastern mem— bers of the party would support Norton and Watson. Watson would lose nothing 'by this, as the Populists of the west will vote for Bryan and Sewail electors in any event. The Third Ticket Movement. INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 22. —- The corre- spondence of the executive committee of the gold standard Democrats has grown to enormous proportions within the past week, and the indications for a. large gath- ering at the convention of Sept. 2 continue to grow. Chairman Bynum and his co- workers are confident that not less than 38 states will be represented by full delega- tions and believe that the convention is , likely to draw a crowd of from 5,000 to 10,000 persons. There was much gratifica- tion expressed over the showing made by the National Democrats in New York and the calling of the New York conve tion for Aug. 31. They are watching ith much interest the state convention in Ken- tucky. . . The executive committee will hold 'its next full meeting at the Grand hotel in this city on Monday before, the convention, and the national committee will meet at the same hotel the next day to make up the temporary convention roll. While the appointment of temporary officers of the convention will be made by the national committee at its full meeting, the execu- tive committee will probably recommend such ofiicers, and there is talk of appoint- ing Bourke ‘Cockran as either temporary or permanent chairman. It was arranged by correspondence yes- terday that both Maryland and South Car- olina should send full delegations, and Mr. .Bynum now believes that the only states not represented in the convention will be Idaho, Utah and Nevada and possibly Wyoming. though there are some prospects of the last named sending delegates. Idaho Agreement» For Fusion. BOISE CITY, Aug. 22.——The Democrats and Populists have agreed upon a basis of fusion, and all that now remains is for the Democratic convention to ratify officially the agreement arrived at. The nomina- tions will be distributed as follows: To the 'Democrats, presidential elect- crs, supreme court justices, governor, at- torney general, treasurer, mine inspector;~ to the Populists, the legislature, senator, congressman, lieutenant governor, secre- tary of state, state auditor, superintendent of public instruction. The fusion idea was fought bitterly by the middle of the road men, who had the hearty support of Dubois and the other - Republican bolters. The serious bone of contehtion was the senatorship, and the Duboisites several times came near dis- rupting all the prearranged plans and stampeding the conference. The result of the prolonged conference has been to im- bitter many of these who fought the fusion with such dogged determination. Among these is J. H. Hawley, a candi- date for senator. When he learned that the Democrats had agreed to give the Pop- ulists the senator, he declared publicly that he would take the stump against the entire arrangement. The convention will meet tomorrow and commence the work of nominating the combination ticket. In this conference the Democrats have come ofi victors. ’ May Talk Politics In the Streets. ' INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 22.—For ten days a great crowd had collected on the post- ofiice corner discussing the. financial ques— tion of the present campaign. The discussion frequently lasted until midnight.” and as fast as one speaker 'wearie'd another filled the gap. The police made numerous and futile ef- forts to scatter the disputants, and finally made several arrests. Twice the cases came before Judge Cox of the city court, end the last time, with much impatience, he . discharged the defendants, holding there Was no decision by any court, high or low, where it is held that a man vio- lates the law by discussing politics in the street. . " “On the contrary,”.conti_nued the court, “all of the decisions are the other way. The right of free speech is fundamental in our constitution and must not be denied. No police can stop it.- ' It, is the right oi American citizens. This is a time when perplexing questions are puzzling the peo- ple. They are questions of vital impor- tance to the common people. It is only by ample discussion of the questions that Iconfront them that they can learn properly to exercise, their right of franchise. They I. 'have—ths-right to discuss those questions, and the court will protect them.” The financial debates are still being held. Mr. Bryan's Quiet Day. UPPER RED HOOK, N. Y., Aug: 22.— Candidate Bryan laid out a quiet , day for the next 24 hours. After he had worked all the morning on his letter of acceptance and his mails he spent the afternoon at a nearby fishing resort. . After reading the morning papeis today ' he'said that he had always believed that the state Democrats would be true to the party nominees. From Syracuse, Buflalo, Rochester and Albany, he said, he had re- ceived assurances of the support. of the county Democrats and notification that the arrangements in‘that locality are en- tirely in charge of the Democratic county committee. Mr. Bryan was shown-a morn- ing paper which reported Mr. 'Croker’s in- dorsement of the Chicago ticket; He said he was gratified to find so muny eastern Democrats falling in line, and added that before the campaign closed he expected the co-operation of all Democrats except those whose pecuniary interest may be better advanced by the gold standard. It is said Dr. Jenkins of New York gave Mr. Bryan intimation that Mr. Croker would be with him. ‘ . ' Fusion In Missouri. KANSAS CITY, Aug. 22.-——The Times prints the following: The prospects for fusion between the Democrats and the Populists in Missouri are very slim. At the recent meeting oi the Democratic central committee Chair- man Cook was instructed to see what the Populists desire. ' It would seem from his investigation that that particular wing of the party which is now in control of the state organization does not want to fuse, to compromise or do anything which will help the cause of free silver. Instead oi patterning after the POpulists of Kansas, they seem to belong to the Texas wing oi the party. No reasonable proposition has yet come from the Populists’ state central committee, and there seems to be no reason to believe that it ever intended for a mo- ment to consent to anything within reason. Nebraska Gold Democrats. OMAHA. Aug. 22.—The gold Democrats of Nebraska have named a delegation tc the Indianapolis Convention. A confer- ence of the state central committee and leading Democrats to the number of near ly 100 was held, presided over by Chair- man Euclid Martin. Many speeches were made, most of which favored a third ticket and the naming of a state delegation tc the national convention. It was the con- census of opinion that a third ticket in Nebraska Was necessary, not only to aid in the defeat of Bryan, but also to preserve the regular party organization in this state after the issues of the present campaign shall have been decided at the polls. Ev ery delegate was pledged to vote for a gold standard candidate for president, but no preference was expressed. Perhaps No Third Ticket. TAYLORVILLE, Ills., Aug. 22.—Senato. John M. Palmer says it lpoks now an though the gold standard Democratic con- vention would meet and adopt a platform and then adjourn without naming a ticket? “In that event what will the so called sound money Democrats do—vote for Mo Kinley or not at all?”owas asked. ”I think most of them will vote for Mo Kinley. I would advise all of them to dc so, ” he replied. “Then you would rather have McKin- ley and protection than. Bryan and free silver?” ’ “Yes, I think protection is absurd, but I would rather have McKinley on that is- sue than risk Bryan and free silver.” Louisiananold Democrats to Convene. NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 22.-——The gold standard Democrats of New Orleans issued a call for a state convention of sound money Democrats to meet in this city or Thursday, Aug. 27, for the purpose 0! electing delegates to the Indianapolis con vention. The call is headed by United States Senator Gallery, and is signed by 60 of the leading Democrats of New Or- leans. .Gold standard Democrats in eacl parish of the state are requested to mac and elect delegates. The Arizona Populists. PHENIX, Aug. 22.—The territorial Pop ,ulist convention nominated W. O’Neil for delegate to congress and adjourned afte. making preparations for a vigorous cam paign. The platform, besides indorsing the national nominations and favoring fret silver, declares for statehood for Arizona and reclamation of desert lands by govern mental aid and objects to the present ir rigation laws of the territory. Democratic Fusion In California. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 22.—After three and a half hours of' deliberation betweei the conference committees of the People’: Party, the Democratic party and the Silva] league it was decided to fuse on presiden tial electors, the Democrats to have fivr for Bryan and Sewall and the Populist: four for Bryan and Watson. ' In Collision With an Iceberg. PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 22.—Thc Britisl steamship Linda had a narrow escape from total destruction on the night of Aug. 13 having grazed a tremendous-iceberg. The obstacle was not seen until it was withir a few feet of the bow, and its bearing: were then just one point on the starboart how. The engines were reversed just it time to save the vessel, ' Colonel Crofton’s Case. CHICAGO, Aug. 22.—The Tribune today says: “The decision of the army retiring board, so far as can be learned, seems t( be in favor of Colonel Crofton. It i. tacitly admitted that he will be permittet to remain in the army, but no one abou' army headquarters in the Pullman build ing will say so plainly or consent to dis cussthe case.” ,.

Movement of Grain ' ' ‘ " Tend to Aid the Foreign Exchange Syndicate—Money Withdrawals. Failures of the Week. ' NEW YORK, Aug. 22.—R. G. Dun & Co. ’5 Weekly review of trade says: Political events of the, week had no definite influence upon business prospects, forthe phenomenal variations in sterling exchange and the beginning-of imports of gold, although following the great meet- ing in Madison Square Garden on Tuesday, may be fairly attributed to the accumulat- ing excess of merchandise exports over im- ports, to which attention has been repeat- , edly called, exports from New York for the past two weeks having been 20 per cent larger and imports here 21 per cent small- er than last year. The rapid movement of grain and the unusually early marketing of cotton tend strongly to aid the banking syndicate which has undertaken to regu- late foreign exchanges. - - . ' . Withdrawals of money to the interior are rather large, and commercial loans are hard to place, and this difficulty checks many new enterprises and business in many departments. Want of confidence lies back of this restriction of loan, as may be inferred from the failure of ofiers of Bo'stou and New York city bonds, but the immediate shoot of the speculative failure at Chicago has passed, and the stock market has slighty advanced, rail- road stocks an average of .21 cents per share, though trust stocks average 38 cents per share lower. There has been no con- siderable marketing of American securi- ties held abroad, and the indications are that London is more ready to buy than to sell. Bank clearings are small; for the week 15 per cent less than last year and 24 per cent less than in 1892. Railroad earn- ings are not as good as might be expected for the first half of August, exceeding those of last year by only 3.4 per cent, but falling 15.6 per cent behind those of 1892, although the east bound tonnage from Chicago for the same two weeks is larger, than last year by 6 per cent and larger than in 1892, though slightly smaller than in 1894. \Vheat, Cotton and Corn. Speculation‘has advanced wheat about 1 cent during the week, corn a small frac- tion and cotton 3. quarter, the principal motive power being reports of injury to growing crops. As before the unfavorable accounts respecting wheat are " in some measure discredited by , the continued heavy movement from the farms, western receipts having been 10,697,137 bushels in two weeks against 6,759,363 bushels last year, With prices 8 cents lower than last year such a movement cannot be interpret- _ ed asa sign of deficient yield. The At- lantic exports for the same weeks have been, flour included, 4,892,660 bushels against 2,995,233 last year, and while the increase is encouraging, it scarcely corre- sponds with current accounts of deficient yield in some foreign countries. The movement of corn continues heavy, al- though the price is still so low that one wonders why the product is put into cars instead of into hogs. The alarm about destruction of cotton has been most vigor- ously worked here and abroad, and has readily raised the price, although it is yet to be seen whether the yield has been so far diminished as to warrant a price nearly a cent higher than a year ago. ' , The boot and shoe industry, which con- tinues to lead all others in proportion of hands employed, is nevertheless rapidly nearing the end of past orders excepting in women’s grain and buff shoes, of which there are still orders for some weeks to come, while others are constantly received, but in other branches the new business is light. Prices are a shade weaker, many dealers refusing to pay the advances which have been asked. The shipments from Boston foi- three weeks have been 256,116 cases against 272,947 last year and 263,833 for the same weeks of 1894. Leather is weaker, with a small demand, although restricted supplies have caused a shade of advance in some kinds. Hides at Chicago averaged more than 3 per cent lower for the week again, the fall in the past five weeks having averaged about 25 per cent. Some additional heavy failures in the lum- ber-trade gall attention to the continuing depression which appears to result, at letst in part, from expectations entertained by many that the unlimited increase in new buildings during the last year or two would be permanent. Iron and Steel Industries. The iron and steel manufacture has only continued depression to report. 'Bessemer pig has sold at $10. 40 at Pittsburg, while Southern No. 1 is oiI'ered at prices equiva: lent to $10 at New York, and nearly all finished products are being sold below the current quotations. There is rapid cur- tailment of production, the Illinois Steel company having only 7 of its 17 fur- naces at work, but in spite of this the sup- ply of finished products appears to greatly exceed the demand for them. The one bright spot is a sale of 9,000 tons steel rails to Japan, for refitting railways in that country, which makes an aggregate of 45,000 tons exported during the year. Nothing encouraging can yet be said re- garding the woolen manufacture, and the demand for goods, even at recent reduc- tions in prices, is still disappointingly small. Sales of wool at the three chief markets have been only 7,670,000 in three weeks against 16,847,200 last year and 23, 361,400 in the same weeks of 1892. A heavy auction sale of cotton goods brought prices which were considered quite encour- aging, and the current demand is fairly maintained, although the mills are not inclined to make large contracts for the future in view of the rise in the raw ma- terial In general the working force in the textile branches does not appear to have. increased. Failures for the week have been 280 in the United States against 222 last year, and 27 in Canada against 43 last year. . Professor Andree to Return. CHRISTIANIA, Aug.22.—-Professor S'. A.
