New York, Feb. 0.—A dispatch to The Herald from Caracas, Venezuela, says the x-ebelliou in the northwestern provinces of the country has shown its front in a startling manner, calling forth instantly patriotic reassurances, and reprobation of the acts of the in surrectionists. General Ricax-t, with a guard of 40 soldiers, while on board a train between Tucacas and Barquisimeto, was at tacked by a band of 70 x'ebels.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS CONDITIONS Notwithstanding Efforts to tiie Contrary, All Signs Point to a Larger Cotton Acre age Tiiis Year—Output of Fig Iron Is Steady—Demand For Lumber Growing. Many New Industries Reported. Chattanooga, Feb. 5.—The Trades man’s reports as to southern industrial and business conditions for the week ending Feb. 4 indicate that merchants and jobbers are doing a larger business, and that money is somewhat eti'ier, tin >ugh still not in large supply. Recent increase in cotton speculation is bring ing out a good deal of cotton, and the movement tends to encourage planters in extending the area of cotton to bo worked this season. Fertilizers are in good demand, and but little credit is asked. The mm producers report that the output of pig iron is steady, and with no present evidence of overstocking the market. Quotations are steady and un changed, but some remark is made as to sales by speculators at a simile below market prices, making some uneasiness among buyers for future delivery. The coal output is still very large, and sales tire equal to the supply. Lumber oper ators make favorable reports and that the home and foreign demand seems to be growing larger. Textile mill man agers say that prices for finished goods are too low in proportion to the price of cotton, and are looking for tin advance. The southern cotton mills are all doing a large business.

Doesn’t Want tho Republican Nomination For the Fresiilency. Indianapolis, Feb. 5.—Captain John K. Gowdy, chairman of the Republican state central committee, has made pub lic the following card, handed to him by ex-President Benjamin Harrison: Hon. John K. Gowdy. Indianapolis, Ind.—In view of tho resolutions passed by the state central committee at its recent meeting and of the fact that delegates to the national Republican convention are soon to bo chosen in this state. I have con cluded that s line statement from me as to my wishes and purposes should now be made to my Indiana friends Hitherto I have de ’ined to speak to the public upon tiiis m ater. but scores of friends to whom i !i ive talked, and many scores more to whom l have written, will recognize in this expression the substance of what I have said to them. To every one who has proposed to promote my nom ination I have said: No; there never has been tin hour since I left the White House that 1 have felt a wish to return to it. My Indiana friends have been most de voted and faithful and I tun their grate ful debtor. The Republican party has twice in convention given me endorse ment and that is enough. I think the voters of our party are now entitled to have ti new name. For the sentiment, great or small, that has been manifested for my renomination I am grateful, and of that wider respect and kindness—breaking party lines— which have been shown me in so many ways I am profoundly appreciative. I cannot consent that my name be pre sented to, or used in, the St. Louis con vention and most kindly ask my Iriends to accept t his as a sincere and final ex pression upon the subject.
