MISSOURI STATE NEWS.


The following appeared in recent
Issue of the St. Louis e-Democrat:
The Frisco road has passed to the control
of the Atchson. This important announce

have been various " al. street rumorS af1oat
concerning the property for some time
past, and il has been said that a Gould

Bosto II ruliiDr was to the fleet that neaso-
tlatIons were pending tor Il lease OF the
Frisco by the Atchison. 1t WAS never sup
posed that leading stockholders were
putting their heads together for an absolute
sale OF the property 10 the Atchison. The
effect OF this can scarcely be told at present.
1t may mean that the Pennsylvania has a
hand in the transaction for extending its
system west of the Mississippi and it is not
improbable that the Chicago & Alton will
ultimately take part in the combination,
giving that system Il trans missouri connec-
ton.
In the shape which it assumes at present
the Atchison absorption of the Frisco sys-
tenn can only be regarded as a heavy blow at
he Gould Missouri Pacific and Iron Mount
ain system, and it will give much strength
to the Atchison business in the Southwest.
For Il long time it was felt that G. p Hun
t1ngton would eventually acquire the Frisco
for the purpose of extending his Houston
and Texas Central system northward and
forming Il Southern Pacific transcOn tnental
line. The failure of the AtchIson voting
trust scheme has been factor in the latest
deal of the Atchison, and it would certainly
appear that for once gigantic Western
scheme has been carried out without the
knowledge of Mr.. Jay Gould.

Judging from dispatches received from
grain men throughout the State, says
Kansas City special, the reported dam
age to the wheat crop has been some
what exaggerated. The reported dam
age comes mostly from the northeastern

encouraging and the indications are ex-
celent that this years crop will equal

THE COMMERCIAL WORLD.
The Weeks business and TIL. Outlook as
Reported by Il. G. Dun 6 Co.

New YORK, May 23.-k. &. Dun &
Co. S weekly review of trade says:
All the ordinary business indications
grow more favorable. While speculation in
some lines is active, possibly nearing the
point of danger, it is undeniaDle that the
volume of legitimate business is. on the
whole, greater than it has been at this sea-
son of any previous year. The I7assage of
the Tariff bill by the House gives increased
hopes of higher prices and larger trade in
some branches, but does not yet affect most
markets at all, the action of the Senate be-
ing uncertain. Discussion on the Silver DILL
gives no clear Indication yet of the probable
outcome, but the general confidence that ia
some way great enlargement of currency
is coming continues unabated, and while
some regard the ultimate results wi>il
apprehension, there are few who realize
that the measure might take such
form to disturb the finances
speedily. Even these rest in faith that the
sense of responsibility will check. Money
is comparatively easy and commercial
credit undsturbed. The reports from other
cities are more encouraging than usual. At
Chicago the movement of grain and meats
exceed last years. The dry goods trade is
good, though not up to last years; liberal
orders for boots and shoes and larger sales
than for some time are noted, but there is a
slight relapse in clothing. Tue money mar
kct is unchanged, and the prospect seems
good. st. Louis reports favorably as to all
lines OF lfauc. AC milwaukee ana ST Itul
trade is good. Rains throughout the north
west have improved the crop prospects,
and business at Omaha and Kansas City is
up to the average. Some dizziness at De-
troit because of cool weather. But at these
and other reporting points collections are
fair, the money markets undiSturDed, and
there is apparently much confusion in the
Immediate commercial future. 1t may be
noted that labor strikes are nowhere men,
Toned as causing disturbance in trade. Pig
iron is higher and IicSsemer July 81 per ton
with manufa ctured iron stronger. 1t seems
scarcely credible that the enormous pro-
duction is met by Il consumption, but the
tone of markets is better and it must be
remembered that the surprising ac-
tivity in building has not been checked to
any extent. Nothing favorable can be
ported of the wooden manufacturer or the
trade in woolens except that makers appear
TO have adjusted themselves to the situation
and though buyers only for present needs
are still buying, with hope that any change
may lessen foreign competition.

The APPROPRIATIONS.

Conservative Statesmen Getting Uneasy AZ
the Magnitude of the Footings OF the
Appropriations of the Current Session OF
Congress-Some of the Present and Pros
pective Figures.
WASHINGTON, May 26.-Conservatlve
members of Congress are beginning to
feel little uneasy about the way the
appropriation bills are piling up this
session. The amount of appropriations
on bills already passed and pending
point to an aggregate that will exceed
Government revenues by many millions
during the coming fiscal year. Govern
ment revenue from all sources for the
year. including the postal revenue, was
placed by the Treasury Department re-
Gently at $3.50. 400, 900. The regular an
nual appropriations bills, exclusive or
deficiencies, will amount to about
1928 600. 900, and the permanent
appropriations, including the sink
ing fund, will reach SOL, 900, Ooo-
The deficiency bills will, according to
the estimates of tho members of the
Senate appropriations committee be at
least S31. 600, 600. That makes an aggre--
gate of S455 6O0 600 of appropriations
exclusive of the Dependent Pension
bill, which, if it becomes law as
passed by the Senate, will call for $50
000 600 Appropriations for the increase
of the navy as passed by the House
amount to IS, 600, 900. There has been
$1,000, 900 appropriated for the Worlds
Fair. If the River and Ilarbor bill and
the Galveston Harbor bill and the one
for the lake channel between the upper
and lower lakes are all passed that VIII
make S32. 600, 900 more to be added to tho
appropriations.
The miscellaneous appropriations at
the last short session amounted to SlO,-
255, 795 and they are likely to amount
to a good deal more at this session, as
the public building bills already re-
ported in the House carry an aggregate
appropriation of 14,00o.000, to say
nothing of the Senate bills, but if the
miscellaneous appropriations carry only
the same amount as at the last session.,
the total of appropriations will amount
to S547, SO, $50, leaving a deficiency OF
S97. 900, 600. These figures and esti-
mates leave out of sight possible appro-
priationS for coast defenscs, the Direct
tax bill and many otner purposes which,
if made, will swell the deficit next year
above one hundred mill
ions.

Odd Fellows and Liquor Men.

At the recent session of the Grand
Lodge of Odd Fellows of Missouri at ST.
Louis, Grand Master De Bolt, in his an
nual report, recommended a thorough
enforcement of a section of the consti
tuition which. according to the general
Interpretation thereof, would exclude
Saloon-keeperS from mem bership in the
order. The committee having this por-
ton of the grand masters report under
consideration made a report sustaining
the recommendation of the grand mas
ter. and which was adopted by tho
Grand Lodge. The section of the con-
sttution of subordinate lodges which
was cited by the grand master is as fol-
lows:
To become initiated into any lodge in the
State OF Missouri, the applicant must be-
licve in the existence of a supreme Being,
creator. preseryer and governor of all
things. lie must be Il free white male per.
son, of good moral character, industrious.
habits. and possessed of some known repu-
table means of support. and free from dis
ease, not under u years of age, and Il resi-
dent of the state of Missouri ut least six
months preceding his application.
by long resolution, which was
adopted by the Grand Lodge in 1884, in
calculation of this law, the business of
saloon-kceping was designated as not
being a reputable means of support,
as is required of applicants for mem
bership. The grand master, in COM
menting upon the section of the consti-
tuition and the resolution, said: If sa-
bookkeeping is not reputable, how can
a man be considered of moral character
and be engaged in a disreputable bust
ness?" The enforcement of this rule
will doubtless be begun at once, al
though it is thought that no unneces-
sarily hasty action Will be taken in the
matter
