oondition or I,nsiness.

NEW York. May 25.-R. G. Dun 4 Co "a
weekly review of trade says:
The continued outgo of gold has a depres-
sing influence. The fall in prices of all COM
mOdities has been about % per cent in two
weeks.
The local money market is fairly supplied
at moderate rates, as eastern and western
are, almost without exception, but at a few
southern points money is close or tight and
much caution In extending credits prevails.
The treasury has paid out during the week
but $780, more than it has taken in OF
ordinary currency, but has also put out $500,
OOO more fractional silver.
At most places trade seems healthy, and
there is not more than the usual complaint
about collections.
The iron business is rather weakened by
the prospect of increased supplies. The coal
business is still threatened by production far
beyond agreement, and prices do not seem
70 warrant the advance proposed for June l.
The wooden industry is waiting without an
improvement in goods to justify the demand
Tor higher prices on new wool. Hides are
dull with some concessions and the boot and
shoe trade IS generally dull.
Crop reports at Chicago are very satisfac-
tory, and the same is true at st. Panl, Omaha
and many other points where the recent rains
have made wonderful improvements. In
deed, the one rain of a week ago was prob
ably worth some hundreds of millions to the
country, for extensive droughts seemed near.
Trade at western cities is quiet but very
hopeful. At the south also crop reports are
highly satisfactory and trade Is expected to
be excellent hereafter.
In general it may be said that the crop
outlook has rarely been brighter than it is
now, and this gives the strongest reason for
hope that any present depression in trade
Will be temporary.
The business failures during this week
mum her 254, compared with 237 las week and
% the same week last year.

A Young LADY pIsappsared.

LATHRoP, No., May 25.-Plattsburg PEG
pie are generally excited over the mysterious
disappearance of Miss Julia McAiichael, one
of the most prominent young ladies of Clin-
ton county. She has been in st. Louis re-
ceiving medical treatment for some months,
and six days ago wrote her mother that she
would start home that evening. She left her
boarding place in st. Louis last Friday even
ing and since then has not been heard of, al
though for four days a vigilant search has
been IN progress.
She is a strikingly handsome lady, II years
old, the youngest daughter of Hon. John
McMichael, for years one of the ablest edi-
tors In the state, but who is now a millionaire
mine owner and stock broker in Denver.
Relatives are In St. Louis and other cities,
and detectives are aiding In the search, but
as yet no trace of her has been discovered.
There Is no clue to the reason of her mys-
teriOus disappearance.
Two years ago her two older sisters died
the same day of mountain fever, and she was
Ill for some months, and now that she, their
last daughter, has com pletely disappeared it
has almost distracted her parents. 1t is sus-
pected by some that she has been kidnapped
in hopes of procuring large ransom.

Report ora Part of the Committee


TOPEKA, May 23.-Four of the CofTeyVille
investigating committee have made a report.
1t goes over the testimony at some length
and then sums up:
''Our conclusions, drawn from the fore
going review of testimony, are that there was
conspiracy on the part of some one to do
certain things for the purpose of breaking
the ranks of the union labor party and add
ing strength to the republican campaign of
the fall of 1888. The vidette expose was
the first step in that line; this was followed
BY a second expose and the preparation of
the box of dynamite. which would hate been
IN Winfield, Kan. October IS, had it not pre-
maturely exploded in Coffeyville.
I'VE are further of the opinion that c. A.
Henrie had some connection with the pre-
paratiOn of, and delivered said box at COffey-
vllles to be shipped by express to Winfield,
to be exploded somewhere; and under the
excitement following the explosion a raid
would probably have been made on the Office
of the AOncOnformist.
We are further of the opinion that BIOn
S Hutchins and Ed i. Greer we're cOgnizant
of what was being done, If not direct partic-
ipants of the same.
And further that no man could have been
appointed commissioner OF labor who would
not appoint c. A. Henrie to a position as
clerk in said Office.
And that said Henrie was appointed to
the position which he holds to-day as a re-
ward for the part performed by him. and to
prevent him from revealing what he knows

parties EZRA CARY, Chairman.

revision Committees Report.

DETROIT, MICH, May 25.-At the session
of the Presbyterian general assembly the re-
port of the committee on the revision of the
confession of faith was read by the chairman,
Rev. William c. Roberts, president of the
Lake Forest university. He stated that the
COPY from which he read WAS the only cor
rect one and regretted that some of the daily
papers had gotten hold of and printed from
incorrect copies.
The report is conservative and makes no
radical changes; its apparent aim being to
simplify the articles of confession, smooth
ing and polishing them while not changing
their substance or weight.
The committee recommends that its report
be published and sent down to the presbyte-
ries for their action thereon; and that the
committee be continued to make final re-
port at the next general assembly.
This was adopted.

WASHINGTON. D. c.. May GA story that
pension certificates are being held back be-
cause of a possible deficiency in the treasury
has been put in circulation. Secretary Eos
ter and Commissioner Raum have said to
have entered into an arrangement of this
KIND to delay payments. 1t Is further repre-
sented that the pension office is receiving
hundreds Of letters from indignant veterans
asking the cause of the delay. Figures are
the best answers. The official reports show
that during April there were allowed II, 167
claims under the old laws ana 20, 37S claims
under the new dependent law of last June.
These make total of 81. 545 cases allowed,
which Is 1000 more than April. 1880. They
carried disbursement of S3,S74,S 15. This
showing does away with the story pretty
effectually. 1t demonstrates that there is no
discrimination between classes of claims, and
that all are being put through as rapidly as
the work can be done efficiently. For the
last week in April and two days in May there
we're allowed 3, 535 old claims and ., l43 new
claims, making 8,67s, which carried a first
pay insnt of S776.4S6. The old soldiers are

three years ago his compensation was
$50 weekly, when better offer from a
great Eastern daily secured An increase
to $3.50. Mr.. Pulitzer's determination
to secure his services has led. however,
to tender of double this sum, which
has been accepted-in round numbers

Lewis is native of Ohio, AS years of
age, largely a self-educated man, and

subsequent career of this eminent
Journalist is generally known.

Insurgsnts' Funds in IA San Francisco Bank
SAN Francisco, CAL, May IA report is
current here in connection with the re-
cent arrest of Senior Trumbull. the alleged
agent of the Gillian insurgents, to the effect
that for some time past $3.50, 900 has been on
deposit at the Bank of British North Amer
lea, in this city, to the credit OF the insur-
gents and their agents. The money Is SAID
to have been sent here from Chilli. and it is also
said that letters are now in the possession of
the government authorities which show that
many of the wealthy and influential citizens
of Chilli have contributed to this and other
large sums of money for the overthrow of
Balmaceda's government
United States District Attorney Carter
states the fact of there being a large sum of
money on deposit here TO the credit of Senior
Trumbuil would be important circum-
stance in determining the guilt of the ac-
cused. Considerable speculation is INDUCED
in here as to the outcome of the attempt of
the United States grand jury at Los Angeles
to secure dispatches from the Western Union
and Postal Telegraph companies relative to
the Gillian affair. The superintendents of
the two companies were summoned on Mon
{day to produce these dispatches, and, II Is
said, they have both refused to do SO.
