BUSINESS GOOD.

The Regular Weekly Review of the Coun-
try's Trade Shows Every Thing to Be
Satisfactory.
NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-In its review of the
trade situation Brddstreet's speaks as fol-
lows: An exceptionally good trade is re-
ported from Kansas City, where the vol
ume of trade is estimated at 90 per cent in
excess of the total for October, 1887. The
Louisiana rice crop is estimated at Ga, 900
bags of rough. The sugar yield in that
State is said to be disappointing, but in
terror general trade throughout the
lower Mississippi valley is more
brisk since the crop began to move.
Southern Georgia trade, particularly
at Savannah, has been restricted
by the epidemic in Florida. The advance
in the price of boots and shoes urged by
New England manufacturers has not been
realized. Collections Northwest have i'm
proved and greater ease is announced in
the Central, Western and Southern States
Funds are growing easy at all centers and
even those at which the heaviest drafts
were made from the great agricultural re-
gions now report a returning current of
more ready funds than are in demand at
the moment. Stock speculation at New
York is stagnant. Prices declined at first
on bearish manipulations but recovered
strength later on. Money in New York is
in slack demand with call loans from 2H
to per cent. Foreign exchange is dull
and slightly stronger.

Failure of a Suit to Recover Damages For
False Information.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. Grew, Levick &
Co., oil merchants, sued BrddStreet to re-
cover damages for alleged untrue infor-
nation furnished them regarding the
Union Refining and Manufacturing Com
pany Of New Jersey, the agents reporting
that the company had a paid up capital of
500, 900 and were in good condition, on the
strength Of which Crew, Levick g. Co.
gave them credit for 81 800, which they
have never been able to collect, and it was
alleged that the Union Refining Company
was insolvent at the time. To-day Judge
Gordon, on motion for a non-suit, granted
it on the ground that the contract was as
if between two private people, the Defend
ant corporation being private and not a
public one, and that Crew, Levick & Co.
in signing their contract with them had
waived all right to recover on the ground
on which they were now striving to get q
verdict. He said that il they could have
proved willful or malicious negligence the
circumstances would have been different.

THE BEviER STRIKE.

Trouble Continues at the Bevier Mines Be-
tween Strikers and the Swedes Who Took
Their Places.
MACON, Mo-, Nov. AT Bevier Wednes-
day night there came near being a big
fight between the Swedes and the strikers.
At $50 O'Clock three or four of the Swedes
working for Loomis & Snively came from
the stockade and went up to Bevier. On
their return, as they got near the depot,
between the stockade and the business
part Of Bevier, some parties out north OF
the depot threw stones at the Swedes,
which they said struck them on the head.
These Swedes then very excitedly ran on
into the stockade and reported the mat
ter to the other 150 Swedes. In an
instant the latter ran out to see
if the parties who it was said
threw the stones could be found: The
Swedes were excited and some Of them
were carrying clubs. When they marched
up in town this excited the striking miners
and quite a number of them secured their
pistols or guns and stationed themselves
on McDermott's corner, across the street
west Of Loomis & Snively's store and
office, and remained there for some time.
l.. j. Loomis succeeded in getting the
Swedes quisted down, before any fighting
occurred and they returned to the stock
ade.
Sheriff Draper. thinking matters were
getting quiet there, has not been there ON
guard for several days. He received two
kilograms late yesterday afternoon from
Bevier, one Of them from the marshal, and
he went there last night as it is feared
there will be more serious trouble. Sixty
more Swedes, who landed in this coun-
try short time ago, arrived at Be-
vier Sunday night to work for Loomis &
Snively. j. W. Atwell has opened his
mine to the strikers. Seventy-fve or 100
will work for him at "A cents per ton, S1.25
for entry work and $3.50 for day hands.

NEWS FROM STANLEY.
The Expedition Reported Struggling
Through Terrible Difficulties.

The Expedition Reported Struggling
Through Terrible Difficulties.
ZANZIBAR, Nov. 3-Couriers from Ia
bora bring direct news from the Stanley
expedition. a portion Of which was met at
the end of November, 1887, by Arabs trad
ing between Lakes Victoria, Nyanza and
Nzige and Tabora- These Arabs met
Stanley's rear guard at a point west of
Albert Nyanza, southwest of Sanga, just
as the expedition was preparing to cross
swamps caused by the radiation of the
streams that abound in that country. The
Arabs did not see Stanley. The detach-
ment seen consisted OF thirty men. They
stated that Stanley was two days
ahead. The expedition had suffered
greatly on the march through a thick for
est, where it was impossible to advance
more than a mile and a quarter daily.
They had also suffered in the marshes,
where many had disappeared or died.
Forty were drowned in crossing a great
river flowing from east to west. One white
man had died. Stanley was obliged to
fight some tribes that refused to supply
him with provisions. The expedition had
often halted in the expectation Of receiv-
ing reinforcements from the Congo. The
rear guard, at the time met, had only been
on the march five days after a halt Of three
weeks, due to the illness Of Stanley and q
great part of the escort, who had been at
tackled with fever.
The Arabs estimate the total strength Of
the expedition, after all losses, at 250 men.
The health of Stanley was then good.
The rear guard, which consisted Of natives
of Zanzibar, stated that Stanley had de-
cided that be would no longer advance in
a northeasterly direction but would strike
toward the north, hoping to avoid the
swamps. After getting certain distance
north he intended to take an oblique line
to the eastward and go straight to Wa
delai, where it was thought he would ar
rive fifty days later-about the middle of
January, 1888. The Arabs were of the
opinion that the expedition was strong
enough to reach Wadelai.
1t will be remembered that August in
formation was received that two mes
sengers had arrived there who had left the
interior about the beginning of April and
who reported that Stanley had not arrived
at Wadelai up to that time. The messen-
ger stated that in the month of March
Emin Pasha did receive some vague and
lndecisive news of the explorer which
had filtered through from tribe to tribe,
but that the reports were conflicting.
Some declared that Stanley, after losing
number of men and large portion of his
supplies, was hemmed in by hostile tribes
between the Maboda country and the
Albert NyanZa, while other rumors
were to the effect that he had been at
tackled by the tribes in the Matongora-
MlnO district and. after several conflicts
had diverted his course in an unknown
direction.
The business failures the last seven days
number 30, as compared with total Of
254 last week and 224 the week previous.

Oregon has a woman mail carrier. Her
name is Miss Minnie Westman, and she
carries Uncle Sans mail from the head of
navigation on Stuslaw river over the Coast
range mountains, following up the river to
Hale's post-office station, within fifteen
miles of Eugene City. Her route is twenty
miles long and is situated right in the
heart Of the mountains, where all the dan
gers and adventures incident to such an
occupation abound. She carries the mail
night and day and fears nothing. She
rides horseback and carries a trusty re-
yolver. Miss Westman is a plump little
brunette and is just twenty years old.
Her father and uncle operate stage line
and have a contract for carrying the
mail. At Hale's station Minnie meets
her father and gets the mail from
Eugene City and starts on her round.
Miss Westman has never met with serl-
Gus mishap in the performance of her
duty. On one of her trips last year she
found three good-sized bears in the road
right in front of her. The horse, on espy-
ing them, became frightened, threw his
rider to the ground and turning around,
ran back the road he came. Miss Westman
with great presence of mind started after
the runaway and overtaking him remount-
ed and rode right through the savage cor
don, and strange to say, she was not at,
