Kochefort ami the- radicals seem anxious t

Mysterious conferences go on in cornets an
rccessi-s. Combinations are made mid eon
lunations are unmade. The strangest groiif
may bi ) seen in the lobby loyalists chattin
with radicals , opportunists hobnobbing an
icably with Bemaparts. M. de Cassagmi
mill M. Joseph Helnach have long taU
together every day. Arc they preparing tli
election of M. Ferry I The radicals arc bi
ginning to fear something of the kind nndai
organising counter plots and "A presided
but not Jules Ferry" is the cry. Prcsidei
Ferry would mean riots , bloodshed and b.i
rlcndes , so the radicals say. The qucoroi
conversation of all texilc place between a ver
remarkable duo indeed , M. Clemcnceuu an
Monslgncur Freppol.
"If your monarchy had the hundrcth pal
of tbo sbamo lying on it that wo have Ju-

would not last an hour. "
"The republic can and will do nothing fe

Imbued with modern ideas would leiok aftc
the interests of the people1 , would give it ju :
tlco cheaply , plenty of work and real libert
which this opportunist republic Is suppose
to give but docs not. "
"Yes , you are right , " replied M. Ck-mci
ccnu , "In what you say of an opportunist rt
public , but if you had M. Clemencean at th
head of the only genuine republic a rudiei
republic I would bring about a separation c
church and state , and you , M. IV Kvcgui
would gain much by the arrangement , for
would give you thu liberty for which you m
always asking. "
"Allons , " said Mgr. Freppol , smiling , "
fico I can't convert you yet , but I don't dc' '
pair of doing so some day , " and the bisho
moved on.
M. Paul Derouble-'s ideas on the crisis ma
bo interesting. The ex-president of tli
patriot league takes a gloomy view of ma
tcrs. Tlio greatest danger ho foresees is 3\
Jules Forry's election.

FAST WKSTEU.V THAIXS.
General Mntinjtol-s Meet In Clilcnjjo to
Consider tlio Matter.
CiucMeie > , Nov. 27. [ Special Telegram to
the Btu : . ] A meeting of the general man-
igers ami general superintendents of the
roads between Chicago and tlio Mississippi
river was held lust evening to decide the
question of running fast trains between Chicago
cage and the Mississippi river to meet thu
time of the fast train which the Burlington
will put on December 4. There was much
diversity of opinion/ Some of the roads were
in favor of running mi extra fast train , while
olher thought they could accomplish the
sumo object by Increasing the speed of one
of their regular trains and save considerable
expense. The Milwaukee & St. Paul partic
ularly was in favor of the latter proposition ,
There was also much discussion over the
epicstlon whether it would not bo better tei
start the fast trains from Chicago in the even
ing instead of at noon to make connection
with the fust trains from the east ,
As the matter now stands it looks as if the
Hock Island ami Northwestern will run n
special fast train , while the Milwaukee & St ,
Paul will increase the speed of ono of its
present trains , but none of them have yet de
cided upon the hour of departure from Chi
cago. As tlio Burlington fast train will
leave hero at noon , It is more probable that
the fust trains of the other roads will leave :
about the same time. The Milwaukee ft St. .
Paul has already decided to run an additional
train from Chicago to Cedar Kaplds and then
shorten up the time of ono of its reguliu
trains from Cedar Rapids to Council Bluffs
The Kansas City roads have as yet come to m
conclusion as to whether they should nisi
run fast trains. Their action will depend Ii
a measure upon the action the Santa Fo tnaj
take regarding the time ) of its trains wesl
from Kansas City. Another meeting will be
held Tuesday.

to advance rates to upper Mississippi rivei
points , 240 miles , from 3T to 40 cents for 1X (
pounds , mst class , and other classes in pro
portion. These , being intcr-stato rates ,
have been put ? down to mireasonablj
low figures by outside competition , and as
the Illinois state rates are to be based upoi
Mississippi rates tf the present disparity bu
twecn state and jlntcr-stato rates was to be
rectified , committee thought it advisable te
make a advance on through rates on Mis
sissipi river points in order to avoid too grcal
a reduction in Illinois state rates. Freigh' '

Dr. MUINKS , In. , Nov. 27. [ Special to the
HER. ] The lively topic In Iowa jwlltlcnl cir
cles Just now is the speaker-ship of the com
Ing general assembly. The democrats arc
not taking n consuming interest In the sub
Ject , which in not so strange In view of the
fuutthat they cnn't coinu within forty-sb
votes of being allowed any voice in the mat
ter. Hut the republicans are having a good
natured rivalry among themselves , and can
didates arc numerous and frisky. The
northern port of the state Is likely to Imvo r
number of candidates. There Is Hon. O. L
Dobson of Hucnn Vista , who was a mcmbei
two years ago , and Is being urged by friend !
in his section. Hon. E. W. Wilbur of Floy *
county , another re-clcotcd membcris anothei
candidate from the north , while Hon. Albert
Head of Greene county , who was speaker o :
the last general nsscmbly , is a candidate will
an "If. " If he can get the caucus nomlnatloi
without a protracted struggle lie says he Is i
candidate , Hut ho snj s he will not make my
light for the place if it is likely to result In t
bitter contest , leaving factional dissension !
and unpleasantness to follow. Herein lu
shows good sense , and will make friends b.i
his attitude. Hero in Polk county Mr
Hcrryhlll , also a ro-eleetcd member
Is said to bo deliberating , no
quite certain whether ho would prefer to si
on the rostrum or bo leader of the house 01
the floor. He is quick In decision , alert am
active in watching legislation , ami a bar *
worker , so that if chosen he will have stroiif
qualltlcatlons for the place. Hut this doesn'i
begin to exhaust the list. Mills county pro
seats Colonel Chantry as an available an *
desirable candidate. Cass county .often
Silas Wilson as an anti-monopoly candidat *
and experienced legislator. LonUa count )
offers in Hon. L. A. Kilcy one of the bcsi
men who has yet been mentioned. Ho is t
level-headed conservative man , of judiela
poise , yet active temperament , and ii
strongly commended for the place. Ho thai
without any other candidates and then
may bo several yet the Held is full already
and a lively contest is assured.
A KAII.HOM ) CAH FAMISH.
The latest famine that is alllicting portions
of Iowa is a dearth of cars to move the
products to market. This is true especially
and perhaps solely of northwestern Iowa , i :
part of the state that was favored with boun
tiful crops the past season. The hay eroj
particularly was enormous , and iu that seev
tion of the state there is experienced mucl
dinleulty in getting it moved to market. Com
missioncr Cotlln says that ho was In a little
village of 200 or IKK ) people In northwestern
Iowa recently and lound there ( ( , (100 ( tons ol
bay which the owners wanted to ship out ,
but couldn't find the cars. The railroad com :
panics for some reason seemed to bo unable
to meet the demand. Tills special need ol
cars was only nt one little place. Thcro art
many thousands of tons ol hay all througl :
that part of the state which the owner.1
would like to turn into cash , if they coule :
only get it to market. Hay there Is bringing
i-0 and 7 n ton delivered on the cars.

There has been some little comment bj
those not familiar with tlio case , that the
state auditor should take summary action ii
revoking the certificates that permitted the
Continental Life Insurance company of Hart
ford , Conn. , to do business in this state. II
is true that ho did not make n personal ex
amination of the accounts of the company
but he stated to your correspondent that tlu
course he took was based upon informntioi
furnished by the insurance commissioner o :
Connecticut. December 31 , 1SSO , he grantee
this company a certificate to do business ii
Iowa , on the showing of the Connection
commissioner that it had & 1X)00 ( ) , ( ) reserve
fund , and that Us assets exceeded its liabill
ties , and it had complied with the insurance
laws of that state. The Iowa auditor there
feiro had no option but to issue the certificate
Now that he is informed by the same author
ity that the company is insolvent , and no
permitted to do business in Connecticut , hi
is obliged to revoke bis permission to do bus !
ness here , even without I'liy additional in
vcstigation on his part. The Iowa authori
ties are doing all they can to protect the pee
pie against insurance frauds.
iviuv : VOTI : cea NTS * .
The result of the late Iowa elect Ions tcnchc !
one thing very plainly , and that is the import
unco of every individual vote. In the senn
torial district , composed of Warren ane
Clarke counties , the suee-cssful candidate ii
elected by two majority. In another elistric
another candidate for senator was beaten b ;
but six votes ; one or two other winning can
didates have majorities of three or four votes
The number of close votes in legislative dis
tricts this year was surprisingly large. Tli' '
result must make the stay-at-home friends o
the defeated candidates feel very weary
Such results better than all the appeals tha
can be made show practicallv tlio importance
anco of getting out every vote and the valu
at critical times of even one vote.

The question of who shall bo the ncx

had almost been conceded u walk-away , fu
while there was considerable opposition t
his re-election it took no organised fern
The feeling airalnst him was not simply pel
sonal , but rather a feeling that the stat
ought to bo represented by a man morei i

statesmanship of the past , and other thing

FROM THE SAMOAX ISLANDS.

SAX FitANCisco , Nov. 27. A correspond
ent writing from Apia , Samoa , under data of
November 7 , reports the arrival of the United
States war ship Attains at the island on Oc
tober 9. The correspondent says : "H was
significant to watch the delighted expressions
of the Snnioans and hear them say how glad
they were. Friendly relations were at once
established between the Kiunoan and Ameri
can officers. The ilrst meeting of the native
legislature under Tomasen took plue-o on
the 12th of October. The behavior of the
natives did not indicate a depar
ture from their position that they
do not submit to Tomasen , butte
to tlio Germans. The proceedings
of the parliament were consistent with the
German policy. A German read the law as
it was to be and there was an end eif it. A
tux of $1 per head was announced , with lines
and imprisonment if not paid in full now. To
get the money to pUy this tax the SamoaiiH
will have to borrow and mortgage their land.
The Germans know this and they are threat
ening tlio natives with punishment by a man-
of-war if they * lo not mortgage to German
traders. On tlio day before the assembling
of the ) legislature Chief Tcmusen was ar
rested on tlio charge of thelt and put in
prison. The real cause of this act lent was
that Tomasen had said ho was glad there was
an American man-of-war comingaml this imil
been repeated to the magistrate , who held
him up. Tomason was released from prison
by the AnuTie-an consul general , who se
verely rebuked the magistrate. "

Nr.w YOIIK , Nov. 27. ( Special Telegram

ono In thu stock market , anil , taken alto
gether , was less important tnnit Its Hume *
dlato predecessor. There was a halt In bull
speculatIon from such events as the cutting
of dressed beef rates by the Grand Trunk ,
which compelled other roads to lower their
figures , thu occurrence of thu thanksgiving
holiday , the bidding up of moiie-y , mid the
French crisis , which , while It did not depress
prices to any extent on the other side , never
theless created some apprehension at London
and tinned that center from a mijcrtou
moderate ) seller of Americans. The gooel
feeling of the previous week was , however ,
by no means dcstru.\cil , for the mar
ket showed inherent strength , and it
rallying power , having had as
Dack logs such redeeming cliviunstanees
us e-ontlnued gains in railroad e-arnings. the

presidency of the Oregon Trmise-emtincntal
company , the placing ol JstH.KtKiO ) Northern

cate headed by Bclmont and Hothsehllel , the
movement in favor of a change In the Richmond
mend Terminal directory and activity in the

intervals were not large , except In isolated
eases , and some stocks showed positive )
gains. Of the hitter class I'nliin Pacific was
the most prominent , followed by Oregon
Transcontinental , Northern Pacific preferred ,
Pacific Mail , Kiclimoml Terminal and New
York Central. Although siumof the bull
leaders have brt-n lather passive1 , In favor of
reaction , none have shifted their position nor
lost faith in thefuture. .
Movements in railroad bonds wcro not oC
an important character , and outside of a very
few issues lluetuations were confined within
much narrower limits than of late. Some
bonds were higher and others lower , which
gave the maikct an Irreu'iihir appearance ) ,
l-'re-quent changes in the temper of share
speculation and the stiffening of money
rather detracted from the- bond list and had u
tendency to check operations.
Governments weie quiet and varied but
little from day to day.
There was quite an active demand for ex
change early in the week and rates worXi
raised slightly , but near thu demo the market ,
became sluggish and thu advance was not
fully maintained.
