MICHIGAN'S APPORTIONMENT. ‘The Democrats Confident They Can Pass ‘Their Bill. Laxerxo, Mic, Aug. 6.—The same clond of uncertainty that prevailed last night is hanging over the state capitol today.

Saginaw has been iven but one senator and Barkworth (dem.) of Jackson has s proposi- tion for a representative bill which contemplates house membership of sixty-four, the mini- mum under the constitution. This was the sabject of a long discussion in the house com- mittee it night and several computa- tions were on that basis. The republicans say that if the democrats will submit a reasonably fair bill no opposition will | be offered, but in any other event they will ob- struct action until legitimate means are ex- | hausted. Both houses convened at 9:15 this morning. The senate took a recess for one hour in order to enable the committee to ¢ bills. In the house Representative Chisholme of Gratiot offered resolution. instructing the | house a) ment committee report a Dillon a basis of sixty-four members, and the same was advocated by several members.

Omaua, Nzs., Ang. 6—The Union Pacific tolegraph operators issued an ultimatum last night. They notified Assistant General Man- ager Dickinson that a genoral strike all over the system would be ordered if their demands are not acceded to by noon today. Mr. Dick- inson has referred tho matter to the board of directors at Chicago. This means that the Union Pacific road will be tied up from Omaha to Portland and from Fort ‘orth to Denver unless Mr. Clarke gives in. The matter is the topic of conversation in rail- road circles, the general opinion being that the matter will ‘be settled without « strike. The operators could not have chosen a better time to advance their claims, as the Union Pacific cannot afford to be tied up at this time. areata BRINGING UNCLE SAM'S TREASURE.

Mr. Henry Clews in the ‘Financial Review,” issued today, says: The market slowly but surely gains in strength Some interruption of the ad- vance has occu:red through unfavorable cit- cumstances an‘-the absonce of large operators at the various {immer resorts. But this is of little consequonge; in fact, it is more desirable that the first stage of the advance movement should be slow in order that the foundations, 40 to speak, havo ample opportunity to harden, In previous advices I have given a list of twelve reasons leading to a belicf in higher prices. These same reasons arc still in force and will bear re-emphasis. ‘There is every reason, also. to believe that business will be dis- turbed much less than usual this presidential and breadth. year. The outward gold movement has been the most serious check to enthusiasm on the bull side. This feature, together with; the growing use of silver, is of course a source of uneasi- ness. Nevertheless, this question has been uppermost for a long period, and its follies and dangers are taking no one by surprise, Some remark is made concerning the less favorable character of railroad earnings; still it should be remembered that comparisons aro now being made with the extraordinary figures of last year. The fact remains that many of the lines are doing a very profitable traftic, and that the financial and physical condition of many lines 1s even better than a year ago. | Still another factor of encouragement is the | crop situation, which has certainly shown much | improvement over last month. No one now ex-| | pects such a prolific yield as ladt year; nor is | such desirable in view of present low prices and that Europe's requirements next reason will be much less urgent. Experience has proved that fair cropsat fair prices arethe most satisfactory to growers. This is what we are promised this season. Last season we suffered from an over- production of cereals and cotton in spite of tho short crops of Europe. Our farmers and planters are still suffering from this cause; but the diminished yield of cotton, corn and wheat this forthcoming year ought to bring them some relief. ——_+e+_____ Washington Stock Exchange.

A decision is reported by the London Times from tke court of queen’s bench which should overwhelm the souls of many astute Americans with remorse at the thought of neglected op- portunities, and which may well transfer the vy in the art of making money from New to Id England. A certain firm or company pub- | lished an advertisement which cffered to give | £100 to one who should have the influenza fver buying and using one of the company’s joke balls” according to the printed direc- tions supplied with the ball three times daily for two weeks. On the faith of this advertise ment « Indy bought one of these balls and used it, as directed, from November 20 till January 17, 1892, whon she was attacked by influenza. ‘Thereupon her husband wrote to the emoke ball company stating what had occurred, and in reply reccived a printed circular which con- tained @ proviso that any person who proposed | to compete for the £100 must come to the com- Pany's office threo times a dey_and use the smoke ball under its supervision. This circular, however, was treated by the aggrieved patient, and subsequently by the court, as ex post facto, and she brought her action for £100 against the advertising com, any. The defendants pleaded that there was no contract; that if there was it was not stamped and could not be sued on; that it was » wagering contract, and therefore void, and that it was a contract of insurance which was prohibited by statute. But the court held that there was a contract, for there was a con- id, | sideration received by the company in the price of the smoke ball, aiid the court added that the daily use of the article was sufficient to sup- port the promise of remuneration. The de fendants had not only issued the advert . ment but had stated as “showing their sincerity in the matter” that they had deposited £1, 90 in bank, which the court held must be taken us ing that they were prepared to pay.‘ contract was also hold net to require stamp, nor to wagering contract, such an insurance advertisement very few of the . ‘would have entertained ¢: event of the smoke ball 4 iF i i iE ; is E | 8 said that while the defendant may not have con: | | ducted himsclf just as he should have done at | Comedy Company, the attcaction with which | | CONSULTATION OF THE COMMITTER wITE OEx.

An important meeting of the committee on Parade was held last evening and the plan pro- Posed by Gen.

Palmer, realizes that the | parade will be a mammoth affair and they are desirous of doing everything to have it go off with as much dispatch as possible. If | the plan of double lines can be carried ont it will no doubt be adopted. There are various questions involved that will have to be con- sidered, as, for example, the order in which the departments will be placed in the line.
