In his rlKht. After the twenty-fifth round
Dlxon did all the fighting , nnd In the lust
three rounds Gardner went to the Krotind

the very general attention given liy the news
papers to tlio forthcoming meeting of the
National Municipal league , to bo held the
last three days of this month In Cleveland ,
the concern of the future welfare of tiio
larger cities Is growing. This mestlng will
be the third of Its kind held within two
years. At the first conference , held In Phil
adelphia , the general features of the prob
lem were given consldsratlon and municipal
conditions causing Its existence were de
scribed. This meeting was followed by the
oiganlzatlon of the National Municipal
league. The second meeting was held In
Minneapolis and western cities were given
attention and specific remedies , such
as proportional representation , were
discussed. Doth of these meetings
were Influential In bringing together
the prominent and active workers In
the cause cf municipal reform , and the Inter
change of views and experiences has proved
to be of value In the advancement of the
cause throughout the country.
The third conference , In conjunc
tion with which the first annual
meeting of the national league will
ba held , meets In Cleveland , upon fne Invi
tation of the Cleveland Chamber of Com
merce and the Civic Federation. The former
Is an active business organization of nearly
1,500 members. It has headquarters In the

will bo held , but at an early date It expects
tfj begin the erection of a building of Its
own. The Clvoc Federation Is a new body ,
which has been about a year In forming.
Hon. E. J. lilandln , the author of the pres
ent charter , under which the city Is workIng -
Ing , known as the "federal plan , " Is to be
present.
The arrangements for the conference have
been placed In the hands of a committee of
seventy-two , with Hon. L. E. Holden as
chairman and Prof. Mattoon M. Curtis as
secretary. Mr. Holden , as editor and pro
prietor of the Plain Dealer , occupies a position
cf Influence and Is a most devoted worker
In the cause of municipal reform. He co

Luther Allen , president of the Chamber of
Commerce : Hon. Hobert P. Porter , editor of

present president. Dr. Charles V. Thwlng ;
Hon. 13. J. Blandln and Kyerson Hltchle ,

EIGHTEEN CITIES TO BE DISCUSSED.
The present prospects Indicate the pres
ence of a large and representative gathering.
The program as arranged provides for the
consideration of t"io municipal condition of
eighteen cities , mostly for the second class.
This portion of previous programs has al
ways proven of exceptional Interest , and ,
Judging from the prominence of this year's
speakers , the same will be true at this time.
The Pacific ccasit cities , San Francisco ,
Seattle and Portland , will be considered by
Messrs. U. T. Mllllken , Edward Graves and
Thomas N. Strong , respectively. Ex-Mayor
Plait Rogers will give an account of the
political conditions of Denver. Rev. Gregory
J. Powe'l , although an active Congregational
pastor , finds tlmo ns secretary of the Omaha
Municipal league to contribute a large share
to the effort making to put the government
on a higher plane , Another , minister who
will serve with Mr. Powell Is Rev. Donald
D. McLaurln of Detroit. Mayor George W.
Ochs , who will read a paper on Chattanooga ,
Tenn. , Is credited with reducing the city's
running expenses during his administration
from $302,444 per annum to $189,200. This ,
It-Is said , was accomplished without curtail
ing any legitimate expense or In any way
crippling the healthy development of the
city.
city.Among
Among the other cities the municipal situ
ation of which will bo described are In
dianapolis , Cincinnati , Columbus , Loutsvlll ? ,
New Orleans , Jersey City , Buffalo and
Washington , D. C.
John Willis Baer , secretary of the United
Society of Chrlstlon Endeavor , has prepared
a report of what Endeavorers liave dent
In a year or two toward bettering govern
ment. The question of good city govern'
mcnt will ba considered from the physician's
standpoint by John S. Billings , M. D. , deputj
surgec-n general , U. S. A. , and professor o
hygiene In the University of PennsylvanU
and one of the most distinguished sanitarian :
In the country ; and from women's stand
point by Mrs. C. A. Hunklo of New Yorl
City , who Is actively Identified with UK
Civic league , the successor of the Woman's
I Municipal league , t'nat labored so carnestlj
for Mayor Strong's election.
FROM A RELIGIOUS STANDPOINT.
Rev. Washington Gladden of Columbui
will discuss It from the minister's stand
point In his paper on "Civic Religion. " Dr
Gladden has been among the foremost It
preaching the gospel of civic rcgeneratloi
and his numerous articles and books havi
had an Influence In bringing about the pros
cnt general Interest In the subject.
The session of the conference will bo pre
sided over by James C. Carter , who , al
though one of the busiest of New York law
yers , flnd3 time both as president of tin
National Municipal league and of the Nev
York City club to contribute a share to thi
cause of municipal reform. Hon. Theoilor
Roosevelt , until recently civil service com
mlssloner , and now police commissioner li
New York , will be present. If his new ofil
clal duties will permit. Charles A. Bona
parte of Baltimore , although still a youni
man as far as years go. Is a veteran re
former. He lias been In the thick of ever ;
battle In his city for purer politics , and a
chairman of the executive committee of th
National Municipal league has contribute- -
largely to the success of the movement
Messrs. Carter , Roosevelt and Bonaparte wl
be the speakers at the mass meeting o :
Wednesday evening. May 29. The prospect
are that Ohio cities and those In the nearb
states will be most largely represented , bu
there will be delegates from all the leadln
cities , east , west and south.
Clinton Rogers Woodruf of this city , pree
Ident of the National Municipal league , ha
devoted much of his time to the prellmlnar
arrangements for the coming meeting. Ml
Woodruff said1 today In an Interview : " 1
widespread newspaper discussion Is an Indl
cation of popu'ar Interest In a question the
there must be general and widespread Ir
tcrcst In what pertains to municipal govern
ment. Not only do wo find papers special !
devoted to Its consideration coming Into th
field , and magazine articles , books an
pamphlets Increasing In quantity , but th
dally and weekly papers of every city devot
valuable editorials to the discussion of th
various phases of the municipal problem
and the general movement. This Is a gco
sign , for In these later days we do not fin
the press devoting any considerable space t
subjects In which their leaders are but llttl
concerned. One Important and encouragln
feature of this latter day municipal refori
movement Is the general Interest manifesto
by every c'ass in the community. The Clevi
land conference demonstrates thla. Lav
yers , clergymen , physicians , bankers , bus

DANGER TO LI IT. IN TIIOM.KY CAIt
I'ubllo Meeting Called In r > itlnrtelihlu | t
Dlicuu KrmrcllHl Meanures.
A public meeting will be held In Phlh
dclphla June 1 toformulate a protest again
the destruction of human life by the trolle
cars. The Public Ledger , commenting upc
the subject , says :
U may bo assumed that the trolley cai
have como to stay ; that no possible coi
structlon of elevated or underground ral
roada will provide rapid transit for moi
than a small fraction of the people of
city built like Philadelphia , and the on
question to be determined U the speed i
which cars shall be run on the surface , i
as to give a fair degree of protection
human Ilia. An observant rider on. tl
trolley cars will notice/that different motormen -
men have different -Ways ot keeping to
schedule tlmo. Ono KTfoftt moving steadily
o.t a somewhat slow rale.tho other runs nt
a high rate of speed feY * lmlf a block anil
then shuts off the current , preparatory to
slowing up. The tlmo'i'ofJoach ' may bo the
same from depot to depot , but one has never
run at a greater speed ' than , cny , eight
miles nn hour ; the other Jms spurted up to
fifteen or twenty. Thfrl.flne has taken good
care of the machinery of- the trolley com
pany , tha other has cftdangered , If ho has
not Injured It , by cutting out resistances
too quickly , so that iJK 61 to the Interest
of the companies to .have all their men
trained to run their cdVs' at a steady gait ,
rather than to speed tlioini up for short dis
tances and then run along by momentum
thus gained. To prescribe by law an average -
ago rate of speed bcVortd' which cars shall
not bo run Is to glvo motormen a great deal
of latitude as to how'-they shall run their
cars , and to permit them to run at a dan
gerous rate en parts of the line. On thi
other hand , to limit the maximum speed to
seven or eight miles an hour Is an unneces
sary limitation on some lines at some
places. A speed which might safely be
allowed on the long residence blocks up
town , where the view Is unobstructed and
children seldom play In the street , would
bo highly dangerous on a line llko that ot
Hldgo avenue , or en some of the streets
down town where there are numerous small
streets and swarms ot children using the
streets as a play ground. Something must
be left to the discretion of the company
and the discretion of the motormen ,
but the latter , at least , should be frequently
admonished not to speed up their cars be
yond a reasonable limit.
There have been nearly 100 persons killed
by trolley cars In Philadelphia since the In
troduction of the electric system. The greater
number of victims have been children playIng -
Ing In the street , but some adults have also
been killed. It would be unreasonable to
suppose that any motorman has dellbsrately
killed or maimed any one , but It Is undoubt
edly true that some of the accidents have
been occasioned by carelessTiess , the car
being run at such high speed as to put U be
yond the Immediate control of the motorman.
Such accidents at least can be avoided and
a fair degree of speed for surface cars main
talncd If the cars shall be run at a steady
gait. The Ledger Is also persuaded that a re
turn to the old rule of stopping on the far In
stead of the near sldo of the street would
not add anything to the dangers of street
car travel , and would promote the end In
view , namely , the maintenance of a steady ,
safe rate of speed.
As to the question of fenders , the com
panies appear to have settled this by adopting
a great variety , nearly all the cars being
supplied with some kind of protective device.
Their relative merits will be disclosed In
practice , and when we know more about
them It will bo time enough to recommend
any particular kind. The aim , however ,
should be to avoid the need of depending on
fenders , for the construction of cars Is such
as to make them dangerous to any one who
may be struck , even though he should es
cape the wheels. Fenders of some kind
should be provided as a kind ot forlorn hope ,
but reliance should be placed chiefly on the
running of the cars at a uniform and mod
erate rote of speed , not exceeding seven or
eight miles an hour at any time in the
crowded parts of the city. That will not be
"rapid transit , " but no one has any right to
expect to get rapid transit on surface rail
roads.

NEW YORK , May 26. Henry Clews , head
of the banking house of Henry Clews & Co. ,
writes of the situation In Wall street :
My renders will boar me witness that I
was the first to sound the death knell to
the bear market , on March 5 last , the day
following1 the adjournment of congress ,
when 1 proclaimed that the time had ar
rived to buy everything and sell nothing. J
then said there was no stock dealt In on
the Stock exchange so poor that It would
not advance conspicuously from that time
forward. I was governed by the fact that
the worst congress for the business Interests
of the nation had adjourned and gone Into
final liquidation , and would no longer con
tinue to drive the Industries of the nation
Into the hands of recelverH. I also took Into
consideration the fact that the gold scare
was about to culminate , because the hunt
for gold had commenced to result In In
creased production , the world's output of
which would amount for the coming year to
probably $200.000.000 , with the prospect of Its
yearly Increase for some time to come. The
effect of thu gold discoveries In South
Africa , which have made such n speculative
craze In mining shares on the London ox-
hango and the continental bournes , has
ieen to revive business In evfcry direction
ml carry Europe out of a rut of doprci-
Ion which started nt the time of the Baring
allure In 1890. This country Is bound to
lenellt under the Influence growing out of
ncrcasod gold production , both hero and
.sewhcre , and a revival of business Inter-
'Sts ' could not possibly have a sounder bot-
otn to rest upon than that of the yellow
nelal. About J13,000,003 of gold will be
okpn out of the African mines probably
his 'year. The properties connected thcrc-
vlth are now selling on the London market
n a basis of JCOOOiX > ,000. The production of
; old this year In this country Is steadily on
ho Increase , especially In Coloradp , Mon-
nna and Idaho , and will soon bo the basis
"f a cold Inflation craze In this country not
inllko what Is now being experienced In
ujndon nnd elsewhere.
IT IS GO1NO TNTO MONEY.
It Is Important to consider that the world's
utput of KoM hereafter , amounting to
bout J200,000,000 ( nnd likely to Increase
ear after year ) , will mostly all of it per-
orm the functions of money , and no part
if It Is likely to go Into the war chests of
he European nations , as heretofore , as
hey have now accumulated their full
imerscncy supply. Another Important
eature to take Into consideration is that
ho supply of money now in this country
imotints to $24 per capita , as against the
.Imp of the panic of 1S73 , when It was J17
> er capita , nnd going still further back to
he panic of 1857 , when It was only $15 per
laplta. When prosperity again reigns su-
iremo In ths country , which will soon prob-
bly be the case , judging from present np-
icarances , there will be a sufficient return
f confidence to make the circulation of this
; 2I per capita FO rapid as to possibly make
nir present volume of circulating medium
ixcesslve. When this occurs , which will
Je very soon , in my opnlon , It will do more
; han anything else to kll the present west-
srn and southern silver craze. This J2I per
capita In money will bo added to each
year beyond doubt by nt least fSO.000,000
if this country's product of gold. This will
eon satisfy even those who are now calling
'
'or more sliver money , that the country's
itipply of money will be ample to go round
without diluting our money by opening the
mints to free River coinage , or by any other
very questionable means of Increasing this
country's supply of money. Gold Is this
country's standard , and must so continue ,
' .o enable It to stand abreast with other
Irst-class nations. "United we stand , di
vided wo fall. " To admit of our malntnln-
ng our present proud supremacy amongst
: he nations of the world , the best metal is
none too good for this country as the stand
ard basis for money , and that Is gold and
only gold. Gold Is one of our products , and
wo of all nations should utilize It for njl It
a worth and recognize It as supremo. No
country can afford to do so bolter than ours.
HFAILROADS DOING WELL.
Railroads In this country like the New
York Central , whose credit admits of their
selling their treasury securities In Europe ,
as the New York Central has done , will be
likely to do so one after the other. This
money will go Into extensions , improve
ments nnd repairs , which will give employ
ment to labor and make a demand for sup
plies , and nothing will add to the general
business activity of the country more than
such expenditures. There Is enough of this
kind of railroad disbursement needed to
make good times for a Ions' time to come.
It was nearly three years since the New
York Central directors voted to sell the
treasury shares of the company at 100. A
part was disposed of , but there has been
no time since until now when the 45.000
shares left on hand could be gold In this
country or In Europe nt par value. This
negotiation , which Is reported to have been
made nt 102'/j In London , must be put In
evidence ns showing the return of confidence
abroad In American securities , after nn
absence of It for three years. The most
remarkable feature In connection with this
sale of stock was the Immediate advance of
New York Central shares 4 per cent In this
market. If the situation had warranted a
bear attack , one would certainly have fol
lowed the announcement of this negotiation ,
and In that case It would probably have
been a fall of 4 per cent Instead of nn ad
vance. If the bears had felt sure of their
position , they wouldn't have wanted n
stronger point to sell on than the fact that
New York Central had Increased Its capital
stock. Instead of their forclnc the market
down on the announcement , the bulls took
the Initiative nnd marked the price up , to
the consternation of the shorts , made about
sixty days ago In the 90s , nnd compelled
them to cover at the advanced price.

nn Saturday.
CHICAGO , May 25. There have been
many wild days In the wheat market of
late , but today's proceedings capped the cli
max for surprises and sensations. One hun
dred million bushels of July wheat seemed
to be for sale at anywhere from 75c to 75c
down to 74c at the start , and as much
was wanted an hour after when It was sellIng -
Ing away above 79c. After selling nt 794c ,
July wheat closed at 79l.c ( , or 2Vio above the
price It closed at yesterday. Corn options
at the end were neither higher today or
lower than nt the similar period on the day
before. The bears got on top of the wheat
market In great shape at the opening nnd
succeeded In breaking the price of July to
744c. or 2Vio below the official closing
prices of the day before. It went down
like a load of dirt from a dump wagon , and
the professional short sellers , whose light
has been , dimmed for a month back , began
to smile. The smile had barely time to
widen Into a grin when the expression be
gan to change , nnd Insldo of nn hour noth
ing but weeping , walling nnd gnashing of
teeth was to be heard from the camp of
the bears. From 744e nt the start , the
price of July chot up to 79c.
A statement of R. G. Dun & Co. In their
review of trade did much to Influence hold
ers In celtlne rid of their wheat this morn-
Ing. They said that their Information In
regard to the damage was that It was not
serious. Besides this , cables were lower
and rains were reported In the west nnd
northwest.
The first thing to Incite buying was a pre
diction from the signal service bureau of
killing frost In North and South Dakota ,
Nebraska and the northern part of Minne
sota. The scene In the pit after the frost
prediction had tlmo to congeal the burning
deslro of all up to Its receipt beggars de
scription. The soaring price was the ac
companiment of an enormous business.
From the first bulge to ! ' % , there was n
reaction to 7Sic. the result of heavy real
izing of profits by longs , aided by news
from a number of points west quoting the
weather bureau to the effect that the condi
tions were not such as to justify the pre
dictions of severe frosts. But 4he grangers
had stood by their guns throughout the
trouble and took on more wheat at the de
cline. As a consequence the recession was
followed by another stronc advance to 79c
and a slight reaction to 79'&c at the closing
moment. The countrymen were aided by
further crop damage news of the most
dolorous description from Indiana , Illinois ,
Missouri and Kansas. At the opening the
trading for a moment or two was belnu
done simultaneously nt from 75c to 74 c ,
the latter proving to have been the lowest
price of the day. The week's clearnces of
wheat and flour from both coasts amounted
to 2,751,000 bu. . against 2.397,000 bu. on the
week preceding , and there Is a gain 01
1,500.000 bu. between the extreme estimate ;
of the decrease which will be shown In the
visible supply on Monday. The extreme *
am 2,000.000 bu. and 3,500,000 bu. , agalnsl
762.000 bu. a year ago.
Corn was again very uneven In Its tern-
per. It opened for July from Blc down tc
52 ? c , on account of the early slump In tht
condition of wheat. It rose afraln with the
recovery of wheat , was dashed down acalr
by the prediction of 1,050 carloads for Mon
day and once more became firm whcr
wheat showed such determined strength
near the close. The not result , however , wai
that the closing prices of yesterday am
today are Identical at 63Jo for July am
W/io for September. The hard spots wen
taken advantage of to Bell out a t > oed dea
of Ion ? stock.
Oats experienced another heavy day ant
suffered a heavy feeling- throughout the ECS-
slon. With the other market nt the open
ing , a big decline was scored. Lnter , how
ever , the market rallied. Influenced by the
strength In wheat , but , like corn , the clos
ing prices of yesterday were overreached
but a trlllo. At the close the high prices
were prevailing. There Is a feeling In oats
which heretofore has been greatly sup
pressed by the RtratiK Influence the wheat
market exercises over It , but the ilecllpc at
the start rather gave n more Independent
tone to this cereal , and with n weaker cash
market to assist It , for the first time In a
long period , fluctuations refused to readily
respond to the advance.
The provision market was weak until near
the close , when buying , nld to bo . .hielly
for the account of Armour Ar'o. . , mused a
rally and n linn closing at about the same
prices as on the day before- .

The general character of the cattle inar-
tct for the past six days showed little In
he way of Improvement over the prcced-
tig week. Dressed beef men have been np-
mrently no more anxious for supplies , but
he slightly better prospects In the east , 03
\cll ns on the other side of the ocean , have
stimulated the market somewht for the
better grades of cattle. Prices show up a
Ittle higher than u week ago nnd the mar
ket for the week closes with an upward
endency. The general trade for the week ,
lowcvcr , was dull , dragging nnd far from
satisfactory.
The market today was about the best oJ
he week. There was n better showing ot
peed finished native cornfed beeves , as
veil as several loads ot desirable western
cattle. A good line of buyers and generally
'avorable reports from the cast made a
good , lively trade , and prices ruled strong
o a dime higher than Friday. The top
irlce paid was J3.I5 for a load of cholco
,4ih-lb. beeves , ami a big string of very-
lice 1 , 313-lb. steers brought WHO. Fair to
good 1,000 to 1,200-lb. natives sold largely nt
rom $4.5,1 to $1.85 , nnd fair to good 1.100 to
, r,00-lb. westerns at from $1 to $1.76. A gooil
early clearance was made.
The cow market was strong. Offerings
were ns usual limited , and with nn active !
lemand the desirable butcher nnd beet
grades were ready sellers. Common anil
running cows were slow sale and weaker.
Calves were In liberal supply nnd only sal-
ible at lower prices. The market for veal
stock has gone olt anywhere from 60e to $1
Ills weflc. Bulls , stags , etc. , have shown
Ittle onnnpc the past week. Prices have
been firmly held and desirable stock has
sold readily right along.
Dry weather has paralyzed the feeder
: tade nnd values have declined anywhere
'rom Me to 73c. Pastures are short anil
rcry few stock cattle are changing linnds.
Good fleshy feeder.- * have not suffered so
much , but the general market Is In rather

aln makes the grass better. Good to cliolcu
feeders arc quotable lit $3.20&3.7G ; fair to
coed , $2.70fi3.20 , nnd common grades from
