Marked Improvement i'm Business IsNoted

II. G Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade
says:
Actual improvement Is seen in nearly all
the cities from which reports are received
this week. 1t is especially noteworthy that
collections are improving at most points,
and that the money markets are on the
whole comparatively easy, although the
crops to be removed are enormous
and the actual movement unprece-
denied. Wheat receipts at the West
for three days OF this week have aver
aged more than 100000 bushels daily
Business failures dur ng the past seven
days number for the United States 21O and
for Canada 20, or u total OF 900, as COM
pared with total OF PA last week and PIT
the week previous. For the corresponding
week OF last year the figures were 100, rep
resenting 1G4 failures in the United States
and 26 in the Dominion OF Canada.

CHINA WILL CATCH 1T.
Murderous Mongolians to Be Punished by

the Powers.
A dispatch from Shanghai says: China
is preparing protocol to the powers on
the recent riots. 1t is believed the for
eign ministers will not wait for this doc
ument, the preparation OF which is like
ly to occupy several weeks.
At Paris, the Chinese Charge DAT
flares has visited Foreign Minister
Ribot and af err informing him that
China recognized that the measures hith-
erto taken to protect Europeans in China
were insufficient, assured him that the
negligent mandarins would be dismissed
and the rioters punished. He added
that six Of the latter have already been
hanged. 1t Is feared, however, that
these promises will remain dead letter.
The Berlin correspondent OF the Lon
don Standard telegraphs that the Ger
man Foreign Office has been receiving
disquieting news from China within the
last day or so. China according to
these advices, Is unable to fulfill her
promises made to the representatives Of
the Powers that she would punish those
who were implicated in the recent out
RACES upon foreigners and their prop
erty, and that she would in future pro-
tect foreign residents from injury.
1t is added that the rumors circulated
In several quarters to the effect that
France and Russia would not take part
in any Joint action on the part of the
bned fleets should it be decided that
such a step is necessary, Is pronounced
to be untrue. 1t is also asserted that
there is no doubt that Germany will in
crease the number of her warships now

prepared to take strong measures should
they be needed to protect German sub
jects or their property, or should she be
called upon to take an active part In

Glasgow Mortified by Scandal Unearthe ed
I'm the Poor House.

Glasgow has had the reputation OF being
the best-governed city In the British Isles,
and the municipal administration In all its
departments has been held up as model
of efficiency and integrity. This record
has been rudely broken by the discovery OF
disgusting scandal in the city poor
house. Facts have come to light which
show that regular traffic has been going
on there in the bodies of the dead paupers
One OF the officials has made it practice
for years to sell the remains OF deceased
inmates to medical schools. 1t is even
alleged that in some cases when friends of
the deceased attended, empty collins were
sent to the graveyard and buried In their
presence, the bodies having been previously
taken out and disposed of to the medical
schools.
