New YORK, May 9-R. G. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trade says:
During the past week the business situa-
ton has changed but little. Outward mani.
festations varA somewhat, but the fact is
there is still an enormous volume of traffic
in progress. The expectation of monetary
expansion and the absence of the forces al
present seriously disturbing the situation is
the chief and most potent of the present
favoring influences.
Labor controversies cause less inter
ruption than has been anticipated.
1t has come to be recognized that injury
to winter wheat may count for fifty million
bushels at least, but spring seeding has
increased acreage and larger yield of that
kind would naturally follow higher prices.
Cotton is a shade weaker than a week
ago and accounts of the injury less i'm
pressive.
Iron shows no great change, the radical
facts in that branch being the transfer of
part of the production to the South instead
of Northern fields.
The increase in the wool supply this year
cannot be large, but expectations Of higher
prices so generally entertained by growers
tend to embarrass manufacture. Boston
sales were large with prices stiff.
The movement of meats continues heavy.
Beef cattle have reached highest point for
the year. Large receipts at Chicago are
nearly double. In general operations
in products are remarkably large with
advancing prices, but mainly because O.
expected loss in production this year.
The dry goods business continues of full
volume at Chicago, larger than last year
and the shoe trade is also larger volume.
Reports from interior cities indicate {
fairly maintained activity, with the money
market no where stringent,
Business failures occurring Throughout
the country during the last seven day.

HoNoRs TO BISMARCK.

BERLIN, May I'm the upper house of
the Prussian diet today, Gen. Won Capriyi,
imperial chancellor, declared he was as one
with the chamber in its traditional love
for Prussia and the royal house. During
the debate on the budget which then be-
gan, Baron Won Pfenor expressed the
thanks of the house for Chancellor Won
Caprivi's sentiments and as the report of
the budget came he thanked Prince Bis
marck for the support he had constantly
given to agriculture wilhelm Office. Hepaid
warm tribute to the late chancellor and
declared that to this policy Germany
owed her favorable financial position.
Next to the emperor Germany owed her
position in the world to Prince Bismarck
The gratitude of Germany to the prince
would, therefore, never die out. He pro-
posed that statue of Prince Bismarck be
erected in the chambers as model OF pa
triotism, loyalty and industry.
He concluded his remarks with assurance
of devotion to the emperor who he said
steered the ship of state, if with young
yet with a secure hand.
Count Hoherttal concurred in the re-
marks made by Baron Won Pfuhl. In the
course of the debate the Count indicated
the necessity of providing substitute for
the socialist law which expires in October.

Insurance Frauds.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, May 9.-Extensive insur-
ance frauds form the basis of the charge
against DR.. Meyer, news of whose arrest
at Denver was wired tonight. The doctor
has had a sensational career in Chicago,
being at one time accused of poisoning one
of his patients, Henry Geldeman, we'll
TODD citizen. The supposed motive for
the crime was Geldeman's money. Coupled
with this was was gossip that Meyer was
playing Lothario with the wife of Gelde
man. Following Geldeman's death she
married Meyer but afterwards separated
owing to suspicion her part that the doc
tor intended eventually killing her. The
wife reported to be under arrest with
Meyer in Denver is another woman,
daughter of G. @. Dressed. an old gentleman
in feeble health. The aged father in-law,
Dressed, is alleged to to have been insured
by Meyer IN the German Life company of
Chicago for $1,000 The fraud consisted in
presenting the bogus Jressel to the exam
liners in the person of Robert Smith,
robust man in the prime of life. Meyer
was consulting physician of the Germania
company and since the discovery
of the Dressed case examination has led to
the unearthing of a number of similar in
stances of sharp practice on the part of
Meyer,

Came to Grief.

ATLANTA, Ga, May 9.-The Honest Man
Protector and Friend has come TO grief.
This will be remembered as remarkable
gang of men, sworn to kill and burn moon
shine informers, the doings of which were
exposed by the newspapers last March.
Jack Lansdown was captain, David
Wheeler first-lieutenant, George Fields
second-lieutenant and Joe Richards secre-
rotary and treasurer. Each member swore
to protect each other in putting down re-
porting on moonshiners. After several
houses had been burned, George Coffee,
one Of the gang, was caught and impris-
oned. Coffee turned States evidence. He
led the officers to the gangs rendezvous and
handed over the DISCUSSES and constitution
and bylaws together with the names of the
whole band and confessed that the gang
did the burnlngs. This brought matter to
crisis. The arrests of the principal
parties followed and their trial is now in
progress. There are seventeen prisoners in
all. On Friday John Forester was con-
victed and sentenced to the penitentiary.
On the next day Jack Landsdown was
convicted. Seaburn Lansdown will plead
guilty. The cases will be taken up and
pushed through as rapidly as posi-
BILE. The prime object of the moonshiners
was to drive from the country all persons
who interfered in any way with the manu-
facture of and traffic in blockade whisky,
and they made up their minds not to hest
tate to burn or murder TO carry out their
purpose.
