'661.-‘s”N"éw!v Intimates Such Regarding Har-y

rison and the Presidency.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Sept. 30.—0 n Sat?day Hon. John C. New, a very close ,',f#iend of ex-President Harrison was interviewed, at his own request by O. R. Johnson, a local newspaper man, who was vice consul general at London under Mr. New. In the interview Col. New said Gen. Harrison was not a candidate and would not favor either Reed or McKinley, if he should be consulted. He said, however, that he Lad no hesitancy in deeclaring that Geu. Harrison would accept a nomination for president in 1896. This belief he said. was not based upon anything that Gen. Harrison bad said to him, but upor the unmistakable drift of public sentiment, ashe was the man in whom all the interest in national politics centers. Col. New continued:

‘‘Gten. Harrison has been president of this country once and the position could hardly bring to him any additional honor andhe is not a candidate for it. By this I mean that he will not enter into a struggle for a nomination which could not bring him any more honor, but which would bring him more .cares. If the republican party should find a man who it believes would be more acceptable to the masses. Mr. Harrison would cheerfully acquiesce in the selection. If the sentiment of the country i for him he will accept the nomination. Inbrief, he will not put forth his hands to secure it. but if called to active leadership by his party he will assume the trust as a duty, the highest to which a man can be called in this country and one from which his patriotism would not permit him to shrink, no matter what might be his personal desires. There is another condition under which he would adopt the same course. If the delegates to the national convention should be divided so equally among other aspirants that theéy could not make a choice without a protracted struggle. or if there should be bitterness through personal ambitions and aspirations, and Mr. Harrison should be chosen as a means of pacifying the factions, should such exist, then, too, he would ‘accept the nomination."’

~ Gen. Harrison, after reading the interview, intimnated that he reserved the right to ‘speak for himself, although he could not control the utterances of his friends. 4

~ IN BUSINESS CIRCLES. S R Rokg N R u;\m‘.:éi‘tii o B RKL SEA Weekly Review of the T'rade Situation by L P b ey NEwW YORK, Sept. 30.—R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review ot trade says: “The full statement of about 2,800 commercial failures for the third quarter of 1803 will be pubhshed next week. and will show liabilities of about §30.000.000, of which about $11,000.have been of manutacturing and $17,000.000 of trading concerns. - In the same quarter of last year the failures were 2,868, and the liabilities 829,411,196, of which $12,331,802 were of manufacturing and $15,181,230 of trading concerns. The week's reports are highly encouraging as to monetary matters, although exports of gold still continue and also as to the cotton manufacture, but not ns satisfactory regarding iron, woolen, leather or silk manufactures. **The speculation in cotton has lifted the price five-eighths during the past week and _quotations here are so much higher than at Liverpool that free exports cannot be expected. 1t seems no longer possible to hope for a good crop, and Meill Bros. have issued a circular predicting a yicld of only 7,000,000 bales. The uccounts of injury and loss grow more dismal each week, and while they may be somewhat exoggerated, the general outlook is decided unfavorable. But for the extr.ordinary supplies carricd over from last year, the manufacturer here and abroad would be in trouble. DBut prices of goods rise each week, .Bdding to the profit of mills, which, on both sides of the ocean, can use for some time to come only cotton bought at low prices. It is not clear how far the consumption will support the manufacture at the present rate and at present prices for goods, thouzh the ;demand from dealers is naturally urgent, while the market for the raw material is constantly rising 'There is still some chance of a strike in Fall River mills, though the rise in prices will make it easier for the mills to grant some aavance in wages. ; “Nothing is clear about the iron and steel manufacture, but some of the largest Pitts-. burgh concerns, professing to have orders for many months ahead, are bidding for small contracts in eastern markets at $1 to $1.50 per ton less than the quoted rate. Some say that it is done to depress the market. and agaln i is thought that the object may be to buy materials, but coatracts have been made at tho eust for 250.000 tons of foreign ore to be used in Bessemer iron muking at eastern’ furnaces, and the termination of the Marquette strike sets free about 500,000 tons more of Bessemer ore within the period of lake navigation. The strike of coke workers at Connellsville seems to have been avoided. The Iron Age reasons that nothing can explain the situuation except some large movement in steel rails not yet made known. For the tirst week in many months the average of prices of iron and steel products shows no change whuitever, though the demand for finished productsis distinctly reduced. - . *The exports of gold, though not as largs as they were some weeks ago, cause some disquiet in view of the disvanding of the bond syndicate. Money has gone to the interior rather largely, and there is considerable increaseln volume of commercial loans. Stocks have slightly declined for railroads during the weel. though the market shows much stubboruaness, and trust stocks average 42 cents per share higher than & week ago, but are now growing stronger in tone.

DEATH OF M. PASTEUR.

The Famous Bacteriologist Passes Away

Near, Paris,

Paris, Sept. 30.—Prof. Louis Pas‘teur, the eminent bacteriologist, died Saturday evening at 5 o'clock at Garches, near St. Cloud, in the envi"'ons of this eity. Prof. Pasteur had suftered from paralysis for a considerable period of time. About eight days ago he sustained a violent paralytic stroke, and Friday suffered still another severe attack. He grew worse rapidly and remained in a comatose condition during his last hours. The end was absolutely without pain. -His wife devotedly watched his bedside. 'His son, his physician, his daughter and hisson-in-law, M. Valleryradot, and two grandchildren, as well as Dr. Roux and Dr. Chantnesse, were present when he passed away. It is believed that the funeral of Dr. Pasteur will be national in character.

The little telegraph office at Garches, which is close to Villeneuve, is kept busy receiving telegrams of condolence sent to Mme. Pasteur. President Faure, M. Hanotaux, French minister of foreign affairs, the king of Belgium, who'is visiting Paris, M. Saussier, military governor of Paris; Dr. Lepine and the Paris Students’ association -were among the first to send messages to the widow. : .. Louis Pasteur was born at Dole, Jura, December 27, 1822, entered the university in 1810, became a supernumerary master of studies at the college of Benancon, was received as a pupil in the Kcole Normale in 1843, took the degree of doctor in 1847 and was appointed professor of physics at the faculty of sciences,. Strasburg, in 1818. At the end of 1854 he was intrusted as dean with the organization of the newly created faculty of sciences at Lille. and in: 1857 returned to Paris and undertook the *'scientific direction’” of the Ecole Normale. In December, 1863, he was appointed professor of geology, physics and chemistry at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, and was elected a member of the institute. The Royal society of London in. 1856 awarded M. Pasteur the Rumford medal for ‘his researches relative to the polarization of light, etc. He was. decorated with the I.egion of Honor August 12, 1853, was promoted to be an officez of that order in 1863, and a commander in 1868. M. Pasteur has written numerous works relating to chemistry and bacteriology, for which in 1861 he obtained the Jecker prize. In 1874 the national assembly accorded to M. Pasteur, as a reward chiefly for his investigations on fermentation, a life annuity of 12,000 francs. He was raised®to the rank of grand officer of the Legion of Honor Ogtober 24. 1878. :

His reception into the French academy took place April 27, 1882, when he delivered a pinmegyric on M. Littre, to whose chair he had succeeded. In the same year the council of the Society of Arts awarded the Albert medal of the society to M. Pasteur for his researches in connection with fermentation, the preserva-tion-of wines and the propagation of zynotic diseases in silk worms and domestic animals.

Of late years M. Pasteur has devoted himself to the study of inoculation of diseases other than smallpox, and has achieved some very remarkable results in the prevention of hydrophobia; patients from all parts of Europe, and even from America. traveling to Paris to put themselves under his care. Large subscriptions were raised in France to form an “Institute Pasteur,’” where the methods of the great discoverer could be practiced and taught. ! July 1, 1889, a meeting was convened at the ‘Mansion house in London for the purpose of hearing statements by Sir James Puaget and others in tavor of establishing a Pasteur institute in England. 'Phe prince of Wales con= tributed 100 guineas toward that object. A Pasteur institute has also been estiblished in America under the direction of the pupils of Pasteur for the purpose of affording relief to Americans who could spare neither the time nor the money to make the tripto Europe for the purpose of placing themselves directly under the care of the great chemist.

The cholera epidemic:of 3892 led M. Pasteur, to Institute experiments in anticholeraic vaccinations, which proved swecessful inthe case of animals. .

-~ HARRISON'S CHANCES. Theé Platt-Quay Machinery Will Demolish , Grandpa’s Hat. It seems ‘to be generally accepted that the complete triumph of Senator Quay in the recent factional contest among the Pennsylvania republicans is a serious, if not a fatal, blow to the prospects of another Harrison candidacy. Mr. Platt, who is as absolute in this state as is Quay in Pennsylvania, is undoubtedly as implacably hostile to Harrison as he was in 1892. The Ohio delegation will probably be for McKinley nominally, with Foraker in contrbl and ready and anxious to make an advantageous deal. He will be more likely to deal with Platt and Quay than with the Harrison element, because water seeks its own level, and, besides, Harrison, as an ex-president, can hardly hope to win uifless on the first ballot. Thus the greatest states of the north and of the union—New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania—and two of them doubtful states at that and one pretty surely democratie, will be adverse to the Harrison second term proposition. The odds are almost insurmountable. ‘But it is argued that Platt and Quay tried to defeat Harrison at the 1892 convention and failed. The case is not in point. At that time Harrison was at his strongest and Platt and Quay relatively much weaker than to-day. The federal patronage is no longer used in the Harrison interest, and the ex-federal officeholders can command only through cash and promises, at which the other side can try its hand and has at least a measure of experience. ‘‘The bread-and-butter brigade,” which represents the flower of southern republicanism, is undoubtedly as amenable to reason as ever, provided it be sound reason—reason that gives forth a metallic sound.

Platt is to-day actual governor of New York. Quay is to-day absolute master of Pennsylvania. - : The contrast to the conditions that prevailed in 1892 is but too apparent to a practiced and practical politician like Benjamin Harrison, and may well make his ambition paunse.—Albany Argus.

MAKING TROUBLE.

Meßinleyismx ks Getting Something of a

Backset in Qhio.

The dissatisfaction shown by Ohio republicans with the opening speeches made by MeKinley in the state campaign is not surprising. They are anxious to succeed, and it is patent enough that for MeKinley the cam. paign means an opportunity to helphis presidential prospects regardless of the effect on the republican party. ) The MeKinley faction is composed of a comparatively small part of the republican party im Ohio. Ohio sheepgrowers with capital enough to own ranches in Texas sympathize with his objections to the prosperity of the woollen industry on a basis of free raw material, and no doubt there 'are others who share his extreme views: but there are notenough of them to count for much in the pelitics of the state. . Sy ) R . The element which McKinley eannot control is thut powerful conservative wing of the party represented by Senator Sherman in the guarded but unmistalkable protest he made against McKinleyism in the: senate at a time when a few favored campaign contributors were forcing the bill on the country.. ‘ . . The cemservative element which in Ohio and eléewhere gives the republican party its vitality is opposed to Mc¢Kisleyism at any . time, and more especially at the present time when the business interests of the country demand the ' suppression of agitators, fanatics. aud demagogues, whose reeklessness threatems.” to: prevent the return’ of prosperity amd to lceep the country in the condition it wasin prior to the repeal of the McKinley law. - "It is-safe to say that. by attempting to malke himself an issue in Ohio poliitics McKinley is not promoting his presidéntial prospects. Republicans with. the business interests of the country at heart are earnestly in favor of keeping him in the background as much. as possible.—N. ¥. World.

CLEVELAND HAS DECLARED.

The President Has. Already Spoken on His

Renomination.

. We observe thit a great many of our ![esteemed contemporaries in different . parts of the country are still discuss'ing Mr. Cleveland’s third-term aspiraif tions with theutmost seriousness. - They still assume that the question is ' still an open ene, and are lashing them- ' selves into a great pother and fury 'over it. They insist with all the so- \ lemnity the occasiom demands that Mr. Cleveland must net think of being president again, and they exhaust the resources of human ingenuity’ in devising means by tvhich that gentleman may proclaim his renunciation in such ‘w manner as to convinee and reassure the country. k) i

And yet, all this time, Mr. Cleveland has declared himself in the most emphatic terms. and through the most trustworthy and responsible medium. Weelks ago the Washington Post stated that Mr. Cleveland did not desive a fouarth nomination, and would not permit his name to be proposed to the convention of 1896. The Washington Post is not in the habit of speaking atrandom in such matters. Itsutterances are authoritative. What more do our esteemed contemporaries ask? in what bettar way can the president diselaim the ambition with which he is unjustly charged? Hecan hardly be expected to go about with a house-to-house denial by word of mouth, nor should he be réquired to strike a Spartan attitude and reject with indignation what has not been offered him. Mr. Cleveland has done everything that could reasonably be expceted of him. He has said that he entertained no thought of another nomination, and that no friend of his will either originate or counsider a proposition to that effect next year. What more can he do?— Washington Post. . . . ——Tne Harrison boom is gradually becoming confined to Indiana. Only two of the members of Gen. Harrison’s cabinet, Wanamaler and Foster, ard in favor of his nomination. In the south the raee is between Reed and MeKinley, and both New York and Pensylvania ‘are opposed to him.

HARMONIOUS REPUBLICANS. Great Activity in the Ranks of the Party Y of Fraternal Amity. - With the republican party so com‘placently claiming--that it will score a sweeping victory at the next national election, thereis an interest outside of that Yelt by the ordinary student of current history in exploring the family affairs of our friends of the opposition. Details would require volumes and only a cursory review can be taken. In the state of New York, which ‘aspires to the honor of naming the next ‘presidential candidate of the party, the Platt and the anti-Platt factions are all going about with sword canes or other double-edged cutlery of a deadly nature. ‘ln the great state of Pennsylvania Boss Quay is in command of one wing of his party while the other is inh that ‘‘harmonious” frame of mind which impels a man to shoot on sight. : £ ~_ln Ohio the situation has an added ‘element of humor. Here is the re.doubtable McKinley, who served in eongress as long as he could be elected to that body, made a signal error as a governor; who tried to attend to everything else in the country except his official business, and now wants to be president, It is certainly beautiful to see the affectionate manner in which he.and Foraker purr and caress as they pose for the public eye, yet every man who has the least conception of what is going on knows that each of these ‘statesmen carri% a sandbag in his coattail pocket and fthe first one that leaves an opening is the one that will be laid out. They are as-irreconciliable as oil ~and water, and it is only a quéstion of ~which will get.the drop.

- ‘Of Michigan it is scarcely necessary to spealk. = Tt is pretty well understood that there is a machine here of considerable magnitude and power. Itis just as ‘much a matter of common knowledge that prosition to the machine is_ of t most determined and vindictive character. We feel too safe in asserting that there isa division in the republican ranks of, our own city: - There may be a dispusition to deny it, but not a day passes but what some circumstance points to internal trouble. Though the support of the mayor for a fourth term may be spontaneous there is pretty good reason for thinking that it is not unanimoflls. Indeed he has himself intimated that there are some republicans in Detroit of whom he does not approve; but by courtesy of the fact that this is our own city we are willing to admit-all the harmony that is alleged by those in the republican ranks. ~ Baut it remained for Chicago to show to what lengths republican ‘*hormony” can gowhen it really cuts loose. There is a split in the committee there; in fact, it is ciit completely in two. The two sec¢tions met the other day to do business and they did it in a way that led. the Inter Ocean, of their own party, to say .of the meeting that ‘‘in Dbitterness and intensity -it exceeded the anti-Grant fight of fifteen years ago.” A dense cloud of tobacco smoke was the most respectable fea‘ture of the whole affair. Beer, whisky, drunkenness, profanity, figchting and recrimination made up the programme. The eounty clerk, acting as secretary, ‘was rendered unfit for reading by a crack in the jaw. Alderman Buck MeCarthy, the Caliban of his- ward, knocked the teeth out of an officer, who was. taken to bed in the Great Northern hoteél;, where the ‘‘harmonious” facti‘ons met. There was a fourhﬁ,m’s’ -session, . during which black eéyes and misfit noses were passed around . promiscuously and the dispatehes now announce that a murder may result. ~Then an adjournment ‘was had until two “harmony” committees could patch up a truce. Rather an - active party after all.—Detroit Free Press. i

NOTHING STRANGE. The Oversl;adéwipg Issue in the Ohio i . Campaign: ‘The republican meeting at Springfield, 0., ‘at which the keynote of the Ohio state eampaign and the McKinley presidential campaign was struck, is no revelation.. We have insisted that it would be impossible for the republicans to avoid a tariff carhpaign next year if they so desired, and that there was no indication that they desired to avoid one, with a division in their ranks on the silver question: as the alternative of such a course. _

The Springfield meeting proves conclusively that as far as the Ohio republicans can control the action of their party the tariff question will indeed be the ‘‘overshadowing issue.” It is ‘doubtless a part of the Ohio expectation and -belief that the adoption of such a platform would make McKinley the logical candidate for the presidency; for the Springfield meeting furnished evidence that the Ohio republicans have at last become harmonized in support of a presidential candidate. 1t will be a° great source ef strength to Mr. McKinlev to have a.solid and .enthusiastic delegation from his own state; und that such a state as Ohio, behind him in the convention. But we stick to the opinion that the republicans, . after expressing the McKinley ‘tariff’ doctrine, at the dictation of the great protected interests, will not dare to go to the extent of nominating MecKinley as a candidate. That it would be li)gifqinl to nominate McKinley on such a platform is admitted, but the rep®blicans would rather win than be logical, and they feel that McKinley on a McKinley platform would be too much for the country.—St. Louis Repubdici - T : .» .
