Milwaukee finds trade improving at Detroit and St. Paul previous improvement is maintained at Omaha business is very good, and though trade at Kansas City is rather quiet, the demand for money is enlarging. At Cleveland and Pittsburg the iron business is expanding and at Philadelphia improvement is noted in wool, groceries, iron and steel and their products, and iu coal, with good trade drug, chemicals ami toluieeo. At lioston sales of wool are larger, reaching 2,100,000 pounds for the rge with

The situation in the iron industry is surprisingly encouraging, for a weekly production hanlly ever surpassed appears to be met by a wonderful demand, although deliveries of rails continue lelow last year's. The Tennessee coal and iron coui|ianv gives notice of an advance of 25 wnts in its prices for pig iron and the rise in the price of coke at Pittsburg insures some advance in pig iron there, while lar, plate and structural iron are iu strong demand and the works better employed than they have been before for several years.

A TRIBUTE TO COL III

OL. It. W. THOMPSON TALK «ARIIN« HIS FRIEND'S LIF

THE FUNERAL WILL OCCUR TO-MORROW A NOOM— FUNERAL OF DR. RICHAROSOM MOMOAY.

A NEWS representative besought Thompson's £¥»n»omi recollections of HUUDI the li&the late Col. II. N. son. "I have known the gentleman since I came to Terre Haute to live, marked the "grand old man, "and was away back in 1843. At time he was quite a young fe and was quite promising. Afterw unless my memory errs, he attended lege. When he had completed his col giate course—I fail to recall whether graduated or not—he read law in mv fice along with Harvey D. Scott, Cookerly and several other young mfeft whose names I have forgotten. Aitfr Col. Hudson succeeded in getting licewtw to practice he was tolerably successful the liar, although at that time it was veiy difficult for a voung man to g«t along professionally in Terre Hangs* because of the large

ber of experienced lawyers henfc While the subject of our remarks nev|r had a very extensive practice, he acquired a good reputation as a lawyer arill as a business man. As an advocafe speaker he had a good deal of abiiit His early speeclies were characterized a £0od deal of oratorical power and he tained that all his life. In the legis ture he was distinguished as a worker and established for himself excellent record he did also«ps agent. While acting in the latter capo* ity he of course was. nnpnnp to le in New York consi! erable, and amongst, the businen men of that city he was looke* upon with high respect. In his early ]C litics he was a Whig and afterwards bf came a Republican. My recollection that he voted for Greely, but I am no positive as to that. He had a good deaP of talent as a writer and made a verfc successful editor. His strength lav chieft ly in attack, in which he always dLsplayfc ed more power than he did in dofense'. In other words, he could attack .an ad--yersary better than lie could defemd his own |K)8ition—a quality which liad tendency to weaken his strength

tained a very resectable position in the: editorial fraternity. His whole public* life was marked by integrity and honesty3 and his private life was beyond rep roach/ He had a large circle of friends ana

was enemies children may look upon with pletamire anil satisfaction. He leaves behind him a large circle of friends who esteemed him for his virtues and appreciated his good qualities."

The arrangement# for the funeral will be in charge of the Masonic order. The services wul be held at the residence, corner of Sixth and Walnut streets on Sunday at 2 p. in., the Rev. J. D.

THE CORRUFTK^IIST NOMINATED FOR THE CITY COUNCIL OF INDIANAPOLIS.

The Indianapolis Journal of this morning says: Joseph Bauer, a reeolute-look-ng young German, was also put in nomrriination and the tellers were about to be ^appointed, when a nen'ous young man named Boland, who had been making frantic efforts to attract the attention of f. the chair, climbed on the platform and

proceeded to deliver an encomium on Sim. This forced a smile from even that politic citizen. "Caesar had his Brutus," said Boland, "Charles the First his Cromwell and the Republican party has it# Sim." That settled it. The next five minutes were occupied in shoving the crowd between two stalwart tellers, and when the ballots were poured out of the hats and counted, Coy's name appeared on 114 of them and Bauer had but 32. The latter came up gamely with a motion to make his opponent's nomination wmiDK-us. carried with a rush, Coy dime forward to express his acknowledgements. There was considerable blood in his eye and the Democratic brethren who imagined that he had been eliminated from the political arena would have done well to be present. He reminded his hearers of the day when they had been in an apparently hopeless minority and bow, when they had called upon him to be their leader, he had led them out of Egyt into the promised land. Then he took up his connection with county affairs and reviewed the victories a'ttained under his leadership, winding up with a reference to his imprisonment. "I swear, lie fore God and this audience," said the orator, raising his hand and standing on tiptoe, "that I was innocent of the crime charged upon me, and the man who committed it walks the streets to-day. Now, that I am back, and your leader again, I promise you my best efforts, and if you will stand by me as before, 1 promise you that when the smoke of the battle rolls away, we shall again lie found triumphant."

Quite aeontjiiotiou has been created in the census office by the report which came down from the interior department to-day that Josie Holmes, a clerk in the bureau, had been promoted.

HE WILL HAVE NOTHING TO SAY REQAROINO THR COURSE HE WILL TAKE ON THE FERRY QUESTION.

Commissioner Henderson, who is the only one of the board who has not expressed himself on the ferry question, was seen this morning and when asked what he thought about free ferriage said: "I have nothing to say I have determined not to open my mouth on the ferry question until some further action is taken in the matter," Notwithstanding this, however, At. Henderson in the course of an hour's conversation with Messrs. tBraAn, llAiftefriid at "NEWS representative gave out that he was undecided as to what action would lie taken. Commissioner Dickerson reiterated that if the people wanted a free ferry they could nave it. The commissioners cited a few countrymen who said that they were willing to pay ferriage. One of these men was seen a short time ago by a NEWS man. He said: "I make four trips a day across that bridge ami before I will pay $2 for crossing will hire a skiff and row my milk cans over." The commissioners said that they wished the people would come to them and talk and sav whether they wanted a free fern*.

NEWS has

shown that the people want a free ferry, and rather than have one hundred people sing their sonjj to the commissioners they should be willing to ^ive it to those who want it. The Commissioners sung the old song about having figured the expense, the time of construction, the need of a new draw, etc., and through all the music there was a strain that sl?£gested that a free ferry was jtossibly forthcoming.

Ferryman (iosnel is complaining that if work is continued day and night on the draw he will not make any money out of the enterprise.

PRESIDENT HARRISON CONSULTING WITH THE REPUBLICAN LEADERS. WASHINGTON,

August 31.—[Special.]—

Reports from Deer Park indicating that Congressman McKinley does not favor an extra session are looked upon by many here as strong evidence that there will be none. There are few members of the bouse who stand higher in the estimation of the president than Mr. McKinley, and as he is a prominent actor iu the tariff question, which is the onlv real subject to suggest an extra session', it is considered quite likely his recommendations will lie regarded with special weight. It is undeastood the president is seeking tlie views of all the leading members ot the house and will soon decide the matter.
