WEEKLY nUsrEEss Rrrrrn.

New York dispatch: r.. @. Dun & Cos.
weekly review Of trade will say the in
terruption of trade by political excite
ment has increased, as is natural, and
yet the volume of business continues
larger than usual and probably larger
than in any previousyear, at this season.
The single fact that bank exchanges out
side Of New York in the last week of a
presidential campaign exceeded those of
last year by 10t per cent, the clearings
OF last year having been exceptionally
large, proves that the volume of legiti-
mate business is unprecedented, for
only part Of the increase can be at
trIbuted to excess of speculative opera
tons. Indeed the speculative markets
appear to have been more affected by
political interests than other depart
ments of business, and in stocks the
sales here have been only about /, 100,-
900 shares for the week, in wheat about
30, 400, 900 bushels, in cotton about $50,
600 bales. and in other markets rather
smaller than usual.
The reports from interior points indi-
cate marked Improvement in the volume
OF trade Mt Nashville, Memphis and De-
troit, and satisfactory business at near
~ all other cities, but at Phil
adelphia, Pittsburg, and Kansas City
the prevailing quiet is attributed to POI
litical excitement.
The money markets appear well sup
piled at nearly every reporting point
with the usual rates maintained, but
shade Of stringency is noted at st. Paul
and an active demand at Kansas City,
with some doubts about business pros
poets in western Kansas, which leads to
caution in dealings with that section.
Otherwise the reports of the condition
of the trade are better than usual. and
improvement in collections is noted
at southwestern and northwestern CEN
ters. In all the larger branches of in
dustry disposition is preserved to
wait until the election has passed and
transactions to meet necessary collec-
tons is promptly met by the expecta-
tons that sharp changes in prices may
follow the election, make up an aggre-
gate which it is safe to say has never
been eqnaled in any previous presiden-
tiai campaign.

Terrific Cyclone Passes orer Several Ioioa

Terrific Cyclone Passes orsr Several Iotca
J0to,is.
La Porte ia. special: This place was
visited by cyclone about o'clock last
night and twelve store buildings and
goods besides numerous residences
wholly or partly wrecked. Several per-
sons were reported injured, none seri-
ously except Mr. and Mrs. Sanders
Walker, whose home was overturned
while they with three small children
were within.
Mr.. Walker was hurled into the cellar
and sustained internal injuries. Mrs.
Walker sustained fractures of the arm
and collar bone.
The cyclone, which was accompanied
by heavy rain, approached from the
southwest and passed diegonally through
the town, striking first on Main street,
when for three minutes, flying roofs,
walls and timbers with the combined
roar of the wind and rain formed a scene
unparalleled since the Grinnell cyclone.
Tin roofs were rolled mp like paper,
brick fronts blown out and drugs, gro
eeries, hardware and merchandise of all
kinds badly damaged by water. Hardly
house on the main street escaped in
jury, and those worst damaged were
flooded with water.
Passing through the residence part Of
town, unroofed and otherwise damaged
houses mark the path of the storm.
which about two miles from here veered
to the southeast and struck Mount Au-
burn, little station on the Burlington,
Cedar Rapids & Northern, seven miles
distant from Laporte. There the Bur
lington, Cedar Rapids & Northern rail-
way depot was unroofed and the III. e.
church blown down. The elevator was
blown from its foundation and much
damage done to other property.
One man was killed by flying timbers.
The heaviest losers in Laporte are mer-
chants whose losses were very much ex-
aggerated in last nights reports. The
total loss is less than S25, 900, with al
most no cyclone insurance. The
wrecked stores are being rebuilt and
there is no suffering.

The London Star, t. p. o'Connor's
paper, says Lord Salisbury is not likely
TO listen TO the demand for the dismissal
Of Phelps, the United States minister.
IN retaliation for the treatment received
by Lord Sackyille from America. Such
step might do much harm and could
do no good.
The decrease in the net earnings of
the Union Pacific for September was
considerable Of surprise. The presi-
gent says he knows OF no reason for a
iafse increase IN operating expenses be-
Yohd the TACT OF the large tonnage at
low rates. This. he says, is a disturb
ing element with all western railroad
properties, and he knows no reason why
the Union Pacific should be exempt.
The treasury department has author
lzed the free entry of the silver service,
valuable clocks and other household ar
ticles recently imported at Baltimore for
Lord Sackville, British minister. This
is in accordance with the privileges nc
corded resident ministers OF all foreign
countries These articles arrived sew
eral days ago ON steamer from Eng
land aud on being notified of their ar
rival the British minister's application
WAS made through the secretary OF state
tor their entry free OF duty. This APP
giieasion was received at the treasury
department the very day on which the
president informed Lord Sackville OF
the severance OF their official relations.
Acting Postmaster General Knott is.
sned the following general order: THAT.
while election day cannot be observed as
q holiday in the postoiiices throughout
the United States, as such observance
would interfere too seriously with the
postal service and the public conyen-
fence, all postmasters are instructed,
however, 10 so arrange the public bust
ness OF their respective offices ON that
day as to give full opportunity to the
employees OF their offices TO exercise their
right OF suffrage as American citizens"

New York dispatch: There has lately
been invented n new system of synchro-
nism, which, il is claimed, will make it
cheaper to telegraph messages than to
mail them. DIR. J. Harris Rogers, of
Washington, is the inventor, and he
claims that the world will be reyolu-
tioni2ed by its discovery. The new
system reduces the English alphabet to
ten elementary characters. The mes
sages are prepared by means of a ma
chine resembling typewriter and ma
nipulated in the same manner. With
the use of ten keys, one for each char
acter, any desirable message can be
written.
DIR. Rogers for the last four years or
more has been at work trying to perfect
synchronism, which signifies ''at the
same time. Its application to tel
egraphy is TO make two wholesome at
each end of the line-reyolve at the
same time. According to DIR. Rogers
over 200 words can be transmitted in a
minute by his new system. A test of
the new apparatus was held Tuesday
afternoon, and message of seventy five
words sent in twenty-five seconds and
printed on n tape in plain Roman char
acters, The inventor says that he can
by this system make one wire do the
work that ten do now by the system in
vogue

THE PRESIDENT ON TUE RESULT

Washington dispatch: The Post this
morning has the following: "The presi-
dent talked quite freely yesterday about
the returns and the increased republican
vote, but expressed not the slightest re-
greet in the world at any action he had
taken during his administration. He is
willing to admit his position on the tariff
and the decided stand taken in favor of
revenue reduction may have lost him a
lgood many votes, but he still maintained
that if it were to do over again he would
follow the dictates of his convictions.
The bitterest pill the president has to
swallow is the partisan action of a num-
her of republicans whom he kept in
office, and who voted and worked
against him with all their power Their
department toward the administration
is source of great disappointment to
him. The president received no tele-
grams from New York later than early
in the afternoon. From what he has
heard, however, he comedies that he is
defeated. No man ever took defeat more
philisophically. He lays his defeat to
no one. Hill and Tammany hall, he
says, treated him perfectly square and
he has no fault to find against them
