DUN's REVIEW or THE WEEK.
Trade Well Sustained in spite OF Heavy
Expectations of Gold.

Expectations of Gold.
r. g. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review Of
Trade says: While the hesitation In busi-
ness has not ceased and decided activity
IL hardly expected now until after the close
Of the fiscal year. 1t continues to be a mat
ter OF surprise and congratulation that the
money markets and trade have been so well
sustained In spite Of heave exports of gold.
The New York market has been easy on
call. dropping from 81 to 3 per cent. with
heavy receipts from the interior. Reports
from other cities show that money is tighter
at st. Louis. tight at Nashville. frmer at
New Orleans and Pittsburg, in hardly ade-
qnate supply at Cleveland. not stringent
but affected by distrust on account of city
finances at Philadelphia. firm Mt Boston, in
good demand ut Chicago and Milwaukee,
but with supply for all legitimate needs and
easy at all other points reporting. Trade
Is not very active, but most everywhere
hopcful. Failures at Boston have made
shoe manufacturers cautious.
In dry Etsds II n nOted that there is no
talk Of prices. ~ Il uslal on the eve OF
new season In mems wear goods. and tine
business In light weights is not what was
expected, but the orders for dress goods are
far In excess OF any previous season. Sales
OF some cotton goods are recorded at the
lowest prices ever made. Wool moves
slowly, but yielding at the west gives bet
ter prospect. In breadstuifs the decline
continues, but wheat is 21a cents lower;
corn, 2 cents: oats. lss cents, and cotton
also declined 3-l6 cent Pork products are
lower and coffee about 81 cents. In general
the approach Of harvest. which Is expected
to be most bountiful, has its natural effect
on prices and trade is but little embarrassed
by speculative movements
The business failures occurring through
out the country the last seven days number
224. as compared with total OF 254 last
week. For the corresponding week of last
year the figures were 205.

Farmers and Sugar Bountics,

Farmers In several western states have
been writing to the internal revenue Office
that they fear there will be so much red
tape in securing maple and beet sugar
bounties that they will have to abandon
hope for 1t. The law gives bounty OF
about two cents pound, SO that all the
bounty realized on 1000 pounds, which is a
good yield, will be $50. To secure this a
farmer must take out a license and submit
his product to government inspector to be
tested, weighed, etc. Furthermore. as the
inspector may not get around on time, the
farmers say they may miss the opening OF
the market in the first part of the maple
sugar season when the product demands
about cents more than it does later In the
season. Commissioner Mason says that he
expects to recommend to the secretary OF
the treasury the appointment OF the ten or
twelve sugar inspectors within a week.

DIR. BRIGGS ENDORSED.

Directors of the Union Seminary Refuse
to Sustain the General Assembly's
Veto.
The directors of Union Theological semi
nary have declared their position ofAthe
question of the right OF the general as
gembly OF the Presbyterian church to veto
the transfer OF Prof. Charles A. Briggs
from the chair Of Hebrew to the chair Of
biblical theology. They say, after having
taken legal advice, they see no reason to
change their views on the subject OF the
transfer OF DR.. Briggs, and are bound to
discharge their duties under the charter
and constitution Of the seminary and to ad-
here to them. The intent Of the veto passed
by the general assembly at the recent ses-
sion In Detroit was that DIR. Briggs should
cease to be professor in Union seminary.
The effect of the resolution given above is
that 1t is the judgment of the directors that
the veto was a usurpation of the powers
given or intended to be given to the general
assembly, and since the veto was Illegal
the appointment will stand, and DR.. Briggs
will continue as professor during the coming
year as during the past seventeen years.

Emperor Williams Advice to the Gcr-
man Troops Causes Astonishment.
The Emperor william OF Germany has
made another Of those characteristic
speeches OF his which will attract unusual
attention and provoke comment. 1t was
not intended for the public ear, and every
effort was made under stringent orders to
keep 1t from publication. but 1t has leaked
out and now published for the first time.
1t was delivered on the occasion of an ad-
dress to body OF spring recruits for the
army. In the course of 1t the emperor said;
II warn you, who are mostly young
countrymen, against the social democrats.
Always remember the oath you have taken,
binding you to me. The Bible says the girl
who marries leaves father and mother and
follows her husband. l say to. you, having
taken the oath OF soldier, follow me im-
plicity, shooting either father or brother
without question, or hesitation. when
ordered
This language startled even the young
men to whom it was addressed, but was re-
ceiyed with loyal outburst OF cheers. 1t
spread like wildire through the army and
was talked about in all the barracks. Such
an utterance could not long be kept secret.
and 1t Is now being sent over the wires to all
parts Of the world. But nowhere will 1t
create more establishment than in Germany.

Printers In Convention.

The International Typographical union
met in Boston. President Plank, in his
address, said In relation to the reduction Of
the number Of hours of labor, that the
movement is one that should only be UNDER
taken when fully prepared for an earnest
and long struggle, and then only by con-
certed action by all unions Mt the same
time. 1t would be n good plan to submit
the question to q vote whether or not they
should mako the attempt to enforce the
nine-hour day next spring. In this way
they might gain the support OF the Ameri-
can Federation OF Labor. The drafts upon
the fund during the year have been very
heavy, the number OF lockouts, strikes, etc.,
having been large.

FLUNKEYs SHAKEN UP.
The Prince OF Wales Severely Criticised
BY tho Solicitor General.

The Prince OF Wales Severely Criticised
by tho Solicitor General.
In his speech In the famous baccarat trial
in London Solicitor General Sir Edward
Clarke greatly shocked the hunkeys of the
realm by giving the Prince Of Wales a
smarting tongue lashing. Referring to the
threat that II the court did nothing the
military authorities would at least see that
Sir William Gordon Cummings name should
be stricken from the military role. the So
licitor general said in plain words II would
be impossible to do any such thing and
leave on the list the name of the
Prince of Wales One. must thor
oughly understand the almost religious
worship OF royalty which pre-
walls throughout Great Britain to clearly
understand the full meaning and crushing
significance OF the solicitor generals words
aimed directly at the heir apparent. And
again Sir Edward Clarke's assertion that
the precis was prepared by Lord Coventry
and signed by Sir William Gordon Cum
ming solely In order to shield the Prince Of
Wales from scandal. caused one OF the
greatest sensations os this sensational trial.
and those who heard the remarks made in
court were SO impressed with them that
they were generally discussed afterwards
and were commented upon in the club and
other circles far into the night and early
morning.

SOUTH DAKoTA's UNIVERSITY.
The Board Of Regents Make an Almost
Clean Swcen of lnRtru Ct0rs

The Board Of Regents Make an Almost
Clean Sweep of Instructors.
The state board of regents in session
at Sioux Falls has made an almost clean
sweep OF the University of Dakota
faculty. The application Of every men,
Der OF the present faculty except one,
Prof. Sloan, OF the commercial depart
ment, was rejected. BY vote Of S to .
the regents refused to approve the ac-
ton of the trustees in denouncing Profs.
Hurlbert and Spiers for leaving chapel
exercises because the same were con-
Quoted by Prof. Bristol. The refusal to
indorse the action of the trustees was
done by majority Of the regents on the
ground that 1t would promote peace and
harmony in the institution. The
faculty, so far as decided upon, Is as
follows: Prof. Savage, of New York,
history and political economy; Prof.
Lewis E. Akley, Of Vermillion, physics
and chemistry; Prof. j. s. Frazee, of
Lead City, mathematics and astronomy;
Prof. Farr, Cambridge, Mass, geology
and minerology; Prof. G. P. Lom:nan, OF
Minneapolis, biology, zoology and
botany; Prof. S. Il. Hagen, of Rock
Falls, Wis, modern language; Rev. S.
T. Cpuyke, OF Aberdeen, rhetoric and
English litcrature; Prof. Thomas Sloan,
of Vermillion, commercial department;
Miss Margaret McCaila, OF Bloomington,
H.. instructor in mathematics. The
salaries of instructors were fixed at
l.400 each The choice of president
was put over until the next meeting.
The action OF the regents in refusing
to indorse the university trustees has
caused considerable i'll feeling, not only
in the lower board itself but among the
friends of the professors who have been
discharged. q. =. Kiland, OF Sioux
Falls; S. G. Updyke. of Aberdeen, and
Il. Y. Frazee, Of Lead City, have re-
signed as members Of the university
board, the last two named accepting
positions in the university. A. Sheridan
Jones, of Memo: L. II. Kent, of Huron,
and Judge E. G.. Smith. of Yankton,
were selected to fill the vacancies.

Floods in the Black Hills.

Serious floods are reported from the
Black Hills country in connection with
the recent general rains. Streams,
gullies and canons became mighty rivers
and the streets Of several cities were
turned into raging torrents. Cellars
were filed and sidewalks and small
buildings carried away before the pow
erful waves like chaff in a whirlwind.
1t is impossible to estimate the amount
of damage, but it will reach into thou
sands of dollars. No loss of life is re-
ported. Deadwood was a heavy sufferer
and the track of the Deadwood Central
was badly washed out. Much of the
line runs through long, deep, narrow
canon, and therefore is badly exposed to
high water.
