THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK,
Last Years Failures and the Prospect for
the Future.

New YORK, Jan. 3.-The mercantile fail
ures of the year Just closed, as reported by
the mercantile agency of R. G. Dun & Co.,
are for the United States, G,73S in number,
as against 5, ,582 in 1881. The liabilities in
the United States are, for the last year. $101,-
100000, as compared with $Sl 000, 600 in 1881.
The failures in Canada during the last year
were 1877, with liabilities of SIS, 5000 600. as
against 635 in 1881, with liabilities of So, $780,
000
While the failures of the last year show
considerable increase on any year since
1880, in comparison with 1873 and 1879 the
figures are not interpreted unfavorably
This is especially the case when It is remem-
bered that the number engaged in
trade shows a large gain, while the volume
OF trade is greatly increased. The number OF
failures in 1882 is estimated at l in every 122
persons, while the failures in 1878 showed l
IL every GA persons. In view of heincreased
number in trade, the failures, proportion
ateJ', are not half as great as they were in
1879
x g Dun Co. have brought the list of
failures down to the close of the year 1882
TINS securing greater accuracy than was pos
siulc in the statements given out by another
a@ency before 1t was possible to get informa-
lion from places distant from telegraphic
communications. Their circulars refer to the
large extensions in lines of credit in the
last few years, resulting from un-
due anxiety to dispose of goods
without sufficiently careful scrutiny as to
pay for them, which is directly traceable to
overproduction in manufacturing centers, in
anticipation that the volume of business will
be maintained at a rate of increase as great
as that which marked the recovery from the
years of depression and restricted business to
a state of the highest prosperity. This, how
ever, it is stated is the only sinister feature
in the prospect, for while the trade of the
country is reported not to be in the most
healthy or desirable condition, the country
itself was never more prosperous The power
of absorption by consumers and their ability
to pay is now believed to be greater in pro
portion to the volume of Indebtedness than
ever before.

wYLIE VS.. CHANDLER.
A Spirited Encounter Between the Lawyer
and the Judge.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-In the star-route
case, Mr.. Chandler moved to have the ver-
dict of the jury in the last trial formally
entered on the records of the court; he want
ed 1t in the clerks record, particularly the
part declaring Peck not guilty.
Mr.. Merrick read from the printed report
to show that the jury had not found any YER
dict as to Peck.
Mr.. Chandler restated the grounds of his
motion, and commented sharply on the
course of the prosecution.
Judge Wylie said: This is most extraor-
dinary talk. 1t is right recognized as be-
longing to every court to send back Jury
to reconsider verdict if the court is not sat
isiied."
Mr.. Chandler did not deny this, but said
the jury was not sent back and did not
amend its verdict.
The Judge said the court understood the
matter perfectly. The prosecution had

Mr.. Chandler attempted to make a re-

Mr.. Chandler-Have l not a right
The Judge-You have not the right, sir;

THE DICKSON CASE.
Mr.. Smith resumed his argument in behalf
of Dickson in the Police Court. He said
Bowen's evidence showed conclusively that
Hoover and Brewster Cameron swore falsely
when they said Dickson had sought all intro

attack Bowen's character, when the court
said:7 II can't regard Bowens testimony as

his remarks Mr.. Smith charged that "the

Prospect of the Revival of the Question of
the Rights of the Two Houses.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WAsHINGToN, Jan. 3.-The Presidential
succession bill will probably be next con-
sidered, though it is somewhat difficult to
predict at this state of business which OF the
many measures before the Senate will re-
ceive prior consideration. The Finance
Committee will report their tariff bill to-
morrow, but will not ask for Its considera-
ton before next week. In the race between
the two committees, the Senate has first COM
pleted its bill but not much in advance of
the Ways and Means Committee, who ex-
pect to report their bill on Friday and ask
to have it printed and recommitted The
simultaneous consideration of this tariff ques-
ton in both houses bids fair to renew the old
subject of difference between them, the
House insisting upon its sole right to orig
mate bills affecting the revenue. In this
case, the Senate, having before it the House
bill to reduce internal revenue claim the
right to amend it, which they pro-
pose to do by tacking on the whole
subject of tariff revision. A member of the
ways and Means Committee said tonight:
I'VE don't care how much they discuss the
general subject in the Senate it will be a
gain of just so much time. But when we
come to pass BILL the House will never
consent to pass any but its own bill" The
changes made by the Finance Committee in
the rates proposed by the Tariff Commission
are mainly in the way of reductions the
most notable being that OF one-fourth of a
cent per pound on all sugars below 16 Dutch
standard.
Representative Brownies amendment in
the army bill was adopted by vote of more
than three to one in the House to-day, after
sharp debate in which Messrs. Browne,
Calkins and Steele took conspicuous part
The effect of the amendment will be to abol-
ish, gradually, the pay corps of the army 1t
is supposed, however, that twenty years will
be required to accomplish the result.

Special to the Indianapolis journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-Dorsey Fultz. the
colored boy who shot Commissioner Dud-
ley's son in LIE Droit park yesterday, was
arrested and arraigned in the Police Court
to-day. In default of bail he was committed
to await trial. He is twelve years old, and
acknowledges the shooting. His story is
that he was going through the park, when
number of white boys got after him, and he
drew little nickle-plated revolver which he
carried just to frighten off his pursuers
One of the boys then drew a revolver also,
and some of the Others went and got toy pis-
tolls. The colored boy claimed that one of
the white boys fired first, and then he fred
the shot that wounded Dudley. This state
ment is said to be corroborated in most re-
spects except in the statement that he was
fired at before he shot George Dudley. Dud-
ley is reported to be resting easily to-day,
but will be unable to appear for some time.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-Although it is an

"The news of the death of Leon Gambetta
which is announced this morning through
the press dispatches, comes to me almost as q
personal grief. A great light has gone out in
France, and the world loses one of the most
gifted, the most brilliant, and the most elo-
quent men of the age. 1t is not my present
purpose to give full review of this remark
able man, whose sad and early death must
create such profound impression in all
parts of the world where intelligence and
civilization have made his name known.
Will simply give some of my impressions
and "reminiscences of the great tribune, now,
alas no more. When / went to France, in
the spring of 1869 Gambetta was a young
member OF the Chamber of Deputies from the
department of the Seine already distin-
guished for the reputation he had acquired
for eloquence and ability in political trial
before one OF the tribunals OF Paris He took
a position in the Chamber in the front rank
of that little band of able, courageous men
who made face against the empire, then in
all the pride and arrogance of its power. He

Association met to-day, and reatfirmed the
% selling rate OF iron. They also adopted
a memorial to be presented to Congress, pro-
testing againsta reduction of the tariff on tin

the tin-plate industry was lost TO this coun-

which originally fixed the duty at 212 cents
per pound, and that it lies in the power of
Congress to provide livelihood for 100, 600

Further particulars are to hand with respect
to the journey of King Oscar, Of Sweden, into
Norway, and the insurance Of his life for 600,
600 crowns, which, as already mentioned, was
effected by him before he started. The agita.
ton which is going on in Norway has been
conducted by the well. known writer, Bjorns-
,erne Bornsen, who has made no secret OF his
determination to try and overthrow the Der
nadotte dynasty in Norway, to abolish the
union between that country and Sweden, and
to establish in Norway a federal republic.
The struggle between Norway andthe Swed.
ish Government commenced when the Storth-
ing of tire former country called in question the
Kings right Of absolute veto, but the difference
would probably have been smoothed over il the
writer, Borsternc Bjornsen, who considered
himself Instituted by something the King had
said had not challenged his sovereign. For
this he was sentenced by the court of justice
to years imprisonment but he escaped to
Germany and has been allowed to return to
Norway and resume his campaign against the
monarchy. As the general elections are impcnd-
ing in Norway they have since resulted in a
crushing defeat OF the Government, some
four-ffthsofth new deputies bcingrepublicans),
King Oscar, with the view of showing that
there was no truth in the report thai he in.
tended to abolish the Norwegian constitution
and occupy the country with the Swedish
army, determined to go to Christiania himself,
and his object in nsuring his life was to let the
Norwegian" understand that, though quite
aware OF the danger he was mourning, he was
not afraid Of facing his advcrsaries. Whether
this attitude will succeed in disarming the
OPPOSITION yet remains to he seen; but If the
republican party obtains majority in the new
Storthing, King Oscars position will be a
very difficult one, as the only power which he
possesses is to veto a measure twice. and the
Swedish army has no right to enter Norway
