Republican League Conrentloo in Oble Marked by Many titormy scenes COLUMIDUS, O., Feb. 19.-The Ohio Re publican league convention, which was held in this city yesterday, was one of the stormiest in the history of the league. About 200 delegates, repre senting 72 clubs, were in attendance. The factional fighting which marked the late senatorial contest cropped out. Senator Foraker, in his telegram to the league, made a plea for harmony. The Foraker and Bushnell element were dominant in the convention, how ever, and while they endeavored to keep factional differences in the back ground, carried all their points. While there was a contest on some of the offi cers, the fight of the convention was on the resolutions. Despite the oppo sition, however, the original resoln tions were adopted. The sections ob jected to by the McKinley and Hanna adherents are as follows: We indorse the Cuban resolution introduced and discussed February 9 by Senator Mason in the United States senate, and hope that it will be promptly approved by the committee on foreign affairs, passed by the senate, and ener getically carried into effect by our honor.d president, and to the end that Cuban independ ence may quickly become an accomplished fact, without being loaded down by an iniqui tous bonded debt. We cordially indorse everydepartment of our state administration, particularly that of our beloved, level-headed and efficent governor, Gen. Asa S. BushnelL SIX-DAY RACING BARRED. The L. A. W.

WV. auspices, was done away with by the adoption of an amendment to the racing rules providing that in any six day race held hereafter the contestants will be compelled to rest at least two hours a day, or 12 hours during the contest. An amendment providing that state divisions be granted the right to de termine for themselves whether or not Sunday bicycle races should be per mitted was introduced and defeated by but six votes. WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW. Raptid Advance Made in Several Grades of Iron and Steel. NEw YORK, Feb. it -Bradstreet's commercial report says: A number of favorable circumstances and events present themselves this week. Perhaps the moeet notable of these are the renewed ac tivity and confidence in the iron and steel mar ket. accompanied by prompt and even rapid advances in several grades of crude pig iron and steel and the advaneo in the price of raw cotton, long predicted but unrealized until the present week. What might be regarded as a minor feature in the business situation, though at the same time conveying much that is hope ftul to the interest involved, is a quite general improvement in distributive trade and demand in the central west and in the south, where spring trade is reportel opening in good shape. Less favorable feature; of the week are the slowness of spring trade in dry goods to de velop at New York and other eastern centers. except Boston, and the mild weather in the northwest rendering it likely that retailers' stocks carried over will be larger than earlier expected Although the advance in cotton has been claimed to be too rapid it has undoubtedly imparted a much more cheerful tone to the southern business situation and with the ad vance in iron and steel has done much to add to the confidence with which the trade outlook for 1898 is regarded. Business failures continue to make favora ble comparisons with previous weeks and years, the total for the week just ended being -78 againstC35 last week. 301 in the correspond ing week of 1897, 81 in this week of 1898, 396 in 1805 and 288 in 189L MUST PAY OR STAY.
