Dun's Weekly Glance at the Country's
Business.

New YORK, June 3.-R. G. Dun d Co.'s
weekly review of trade says:
Another week has brought the distinct reac-
ton in speculative markets which was only
suspected a week ago. Reports from inte-
rior cities continue highly encouraging. I'm
provement is observed at Chicago, Mllwau-
kee. Minneapolis, and other points, where
the brighter wheat prospects have most
effect. recent rains having justified large esti-
mates at the south. Business is satisfactory
for the season. The great industries have
not materially changed In position.
In the speculative markets wheat has had
a sharp - of So in sales of $4,000, COO
bushels here. With only month more be-
fore new wheat will begin to fill the channels
of commerce it is certain that the country
will have to carry over large unsold surplus.
Corn has been unchanged, and oats u cent
lower. Cotton has been screwed up another
quarter of cent by manipulation, and coffee
has been lifted as much. The general level
of prices is again lower than week age.
The money markets of the interior have
been amply supplied, and while money Is
sitter at Boston, close at Cleveland. and IN
brisk demand at Milwaukee, the demand Is
good at Kansas City, fair at Chicago, and
moderate at most of western towns, but the
market is stronger at st. Louis. The general
tendency has been toward a relaxation In the
demand and the return of currency to this
point. The treasury has taken in S25O,OOO
more than it has paid out during the week,
and the decrease of Is per cent. for the month
in exports from New York contrasts with the
increase of 13 per cent. on imports for the
month of day.
The business failures occurring throughout
the country during the last seven days num-
Der 21S, as compared with a total of 222 last
week. For the corresponding week OF last
year the figures were 315.

When will Congress Adjourn


WASHINGTON, D. c., June Ain view of
the contrariety of opinion entertained by
senators and members and the public concern
ing the period when it may be possible to
secure adjournment of the present session,
any views expressed by leading and well
posted members becomes important and In
teresting.
Congressman Payson, of Illinois. who is
regarded as one of the best judges in the
house of the condition of legislation, said:
Congress will not adjourn before September
l at the earliest moment. have entertained
this opinion for the past two months and see
no reason to change my views, but on the
contrary rather to emphasize them. All this
talk about adjourning in July, or at furthest
by August l, is not warranted by the facts
and the situation, and the wish is simply
father to the thought. The tariff bill cannot
be railroaded through the senate, where, I'M
like the house. there Is no previous question
to cut off debate, and the measure will be
discussed by the democratic side, as well for
the expression of opinion on important tariff
questions as to prevent the passage of fed
eral election law. Then, again, the silver
question ponds in both senate and house,
and has hardly been touched upon so far in
either branch. l intend to speak my mind
pretty freely on the silver question when
that measure comes up for discussion in the
house, and demonstrate by facts and figures
that all the predictions of disaster made by
the gold standard men in opposition to silver
coinage have proved fallacious and resulted
in great injury to the country: Other west
ern members will have something to say IN
favor of silver coinage, and that battle must
be fought to satisfactory conclusions before
congress can adjourn. There are other i'm
portant matters of general legislation, not
connected with politics, which cannot be
ignored, and three months can very readily be
occupied In their consideration and DISPOSE
ton. Our calendars are loaded down with
business, and so far there has been no private
legislation worth the mention.

PRECIPITATION.


An excess of rainfall in the central, south
ern, southwestern and extreme southeastern
counties. A deficiency in the counties lining
the Raw, in Woodson, Elk, and the extreme
northwestern counties. In the southwest the
excess eliminated in Edwards, where the
precipitation for the week amounts to three
inches and thirty hundredths. In the GEN.
trail northern counties the seasonal deficiency
continues, but has been somewhat reduced
this week. Hail storms on the I'D and Z5tn'
TEMPERATURE AND SUNSHINE.
Normal in the central and eastern divi-
sions, with the temperature above normal
in the western.
RESULTS.
The general distribution of rains, with
more seasonable temperature, has proved
very beneficial to all crops, vet the high
winds of the 18th and Doth subtracted some
what from substantial benefits. Corn has
made a greater advance this week than dur
ing the entire season previous.
Wheat is heading north and west. Oats
are heading in the southern and central coun-
ties, but owing to shortage in rain in Dick
inson they are heading from four to SIX
inches'high only, while wheat is commencing
to fire in localities. In Rush the wheat Is
damaged on the same account; further north
the ground absorbS the rain as fast as 1t falls.
In the extreme west the ground still con-
tinues in fine condition, espec tally so in
Greeley. In the central northern counties
the high temperature. in the absence of sea-
sonal rains, is proving detrimental to the
grain crops.
In the extreme southern counties straw
berries and early potatoes are being marketed
in abundance, with mulberries and early
cherries now ready for the market. 1t is
now estimated that the frost of the 18th
blighted 60 per cent. of the wheat in the
Walnut valley and % per cent. in the Arkan-
sas valley in Cowley.

Kansas City parties. The town had been
billed thoroughly announcing its advent, and
when the doors were thrown open scores of
thirsty Kansans forsook the joints and pur

about thirty minutes the city marshal arrested

CLEVELAND, Ohio.AThe memorial stands
on the most prominent spot in the cemetery,
and can be seen from all directions for many
miles. Projecting at the base of the tower
on the north is square porch containing the
reception room for visitors, and the Office of
of the custodian. The upper part of this
porch is decorated with an historical frieze
divided into five sections which represent in

Vim. NJ. Evarts and Carl Schurz. Entering
through a wide and richly decorated
memorial. and passing through a stone
vaulted vestibule, with marble mosaic pave
ment the interior of the memorial temple Is
reached. It is circular in form and in the
center, on a marble paved dias, is a pedestal
of Italian marble, on which stands the statue
proper. 1t is of heroic size, and represents
General Garfield about to address the house
of representatives. The statue was designed
by Alexander Doyle, an old Ohio boy, now
residing in New FORK, and including the chair
from which the orator is supposed to have
arisen is carved from one massive block of
Carrara marble. The height of the figure is
seven feet nine inches. and the likeness is a
strong one. Arranged in a circle around the
statue are eight massive columns of deep
colored granite supporting dome of . feet
In diameter, and above is rich frieze of
marble mosaic presenting an allegorical pro-
cession of the dead president. Over the en-
trance door to the outer chamber, on the in
side are figures of War, fully armed, and of
Peace, bearing the olive branch, typical of
Garfeld's services in camp and court. Be
meath the figures is the inscription:

DICK HAYES HANGED.

IL AlahamA Murderer Pays the reaa1lV
For His Kiendlsh Crime-A Fuh ConA.s-
sion.
BIRnNGHAM, Ala, March dick
Hawes was hanged for the murder Of his
wife and two children at three minutes
to one o'clock yesterday. His neck was
broken and death was easy. The little
Jail was packed to suffocation. In the
streets outside thousands of people
stood in the rain waiting, though they
could see nothing.
Before the black cap was adjusted
Halves spoke briefly. He called news
gave him for all false statements against
him He then handed an Age-Herald
man a written confession and asked
that it be published He stated that he
was guilty and suffered Justly; that
whisky and q bad woman had brought
him to his end. He warned young men
against following in his footsteps His
written confession would tell the rest.
DR.. Purser offered prayer. The drop
fell and all was over
The crime for which Richard a. Hawes
paid the penalty of his life was the muir
der of his wife and two children, May
and Irene, Tuesday morning, December
4. 1888 The body of May Haws was
found floating in an artificial lake at
Eastlake, pleasure resort six miles
from this city, but it was not identified
until the next day. The discovery led
to still further investigation and the
residence of Halves was visited by sew
eral persons, who found the place de-
serted and evidence that a horrible crime
had been committed There were blood
stains on the floor, and in a corner of
one Of the rooms bloody club was found.
On the same day it was learned that
Hawes had been married to Miss May
Storey, at Columbia, Miss. He was ar
rested the same night while passing
through Birmingham on his way to
Georgia to spend his honeymoon. He
identified the body of his child, but
stated that he had been divorced from
his wife and she had gone away The
children, he said, had been placed in
convent at Mobile and he was at loss
to understand how Mays body came to
be found where it was
The pa1pable improbability of such q
story convinced those who heard Halves
statement that he had murdered the
rest of the family, and by the direction
of the coroner the lake was drained and
the bodies of Mrs. Halves and little
Irene, heavily weighted with railroad
iron, were found on the bottom.
The finding of Mrs. Hawes' corpse
inf1amed the public mind to a state of
frenzy All the efforts of the press of
the city and the county authorities to
allay the excitement were futile. The
Jail was stormed by 10, 600 persons de-
termined to lynch the murderer. The
sheriff ordered halt, but the mob re-
piled with cries of derision and pressed
forward The order was given to the
guard to fire and a volley resulted in
the killing of ten persons and the
wounding of many more. The spirit Of
the mob was broken and it never re-
turned to the attack, contrary to the ex-
pectation of the authorities, who had in
the meantime telegraphcd to the Gov
ernor for militia.
The trial of Halves began April 20
and lasted eleven DAYS
