NEW YoRK, April u.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade says:
Another week brings additional proof of
actual improvement in business at many
points, while the slackness of few Is ek-
planned by causes obviously local and tenn
porary.
The money markets continue abundantly
supplied and easy. Two theories exist re-
garding the state of business, which find fire.
quent expression. That trade has disap-
pointed expectations to some extent Is obvi-
GUS, and there are some who claim that the
reaction begun IS of unknown duration, which
appeared in Europe last year and was only
in part deferred here because of the eXtraor-
binary crops These have helped to support
the unusually low prices and in some depart
ments shrinkage in sales. But others argue
that the disappointment is due to the exces-
sive expectations and especially to the failure
to take into account the great volume of IN
debtedness left from real estate speculation
at the west and south, and the influence here
of bare crops and financial depression abroad.
These have to support them much evidence
that the actual business transacted in all
branches considered is greater than ever be-
fore at this season, in spite of all obstacles
and complaints.
Reports from cities are on the whole favor
able. The payments through clearing houses
outside of New York are larger than ever be-
fore at this season. Railroad earnings show
substantial increase over last year. Receipts
of breadstuffs still exceed all past experience,
and receipts of cattle at western points are
1,316, 615 head for the first quarter, gain OF
II per cent. over last year.
Sales of wool at all principal markets for
the year thus far exceed last years, indicat-
ing larger manufacture. Shipments of boots
and shoes now exceed last years, though fol-
the year thus far are per cent behind, but
some shops are now working overtime.
Some concessions seen in coke and tin plate;
lead is dull, but tin rises little.
Speculation has been stronger, wheat adj

The business failures occurring throughout
the country during the past week number

the corresponding week of last year the figures

BY Less Than Last Spring,

CLEVELAND, O., April THE election was
for director of education, seven members
of the school council, two Justices of the
peace and ten members of the council. At
midnight, with twenty-five out of the $50 pre-
cincts to hear from, the republican plurality
had reached LOO, and it will probably 60
higher than that. This is big republican
gain over last fall, when Mckinley lost the
city, but loss from last spring, when the
republicans had nearly 5000 plurality.

Same as In Kansas

OMAHA, Neb., April Ian organization
was perfected at quiet meeting in Omaha
that may have an important bearing upon
politics of the state.
For some time past railroad employees at
division points have been organizing into
local clubs, and these have now been gath
cred under the banner of state organiza-
ton.
The object of this movement is to oppose
legislation harmful to the interest of railroad
employees, and members of the order are
pledged to drop party affiliations whenever
their class is threatened, and to support men
and measures known to be friendly to them.

FRISCO SLIM"
Officers MaIey and Ahern Probably
Bagged Big Game.
Arrest of a Man Identified as ''Frisco
Slim,o Who Is Wanted for the
Rio Vista Murder.

Officers Ahern and Maley yesterday
morning arrested man, giving his name
as James Sullivan, on suspicion of his
being Frisco SLIM" one of the murder
ers of John Howard, watchman at Rio
Vista, some months ago.
Lee Horrell, one of the murderers, was
convicted some time ago, but the officers
have been unable to locate Frisco Slim" !"
his accompice, up to this time
Railroad Detective T. 7. Burke inter
viewed Sullivan, and gave it as his opin-
ion that he is the man wanted for the Rio
Vista crime.
1t is said that Sullivan was arrested for
attempting to rob young man early
yesterday morning on Fifth street. He
denies any knowledge of the Rio Vista
murder, but will be held awaiting the
arrival of officers from there
Special Officer l.. K. Dole last evening
ldentItled the prisoner as Frisco Slim"
as he positively recognized him as a we'll
known member of the chain-gang here
some time ago. When Dole addressed
him he immediately answered to his
name, and admitted his acquaintance
with the special officer, although he was
very reserved and cautious in what he
said.
The only question about his being the
man wanted at Rio Vista is that there
may be two men of very nearly the same
description sailing under the unique
title, Frisco Slim," which is not at all
probable.
If Sullivan proves to be the man, Off
GERS Ahern and Maley unexpectedly
bagged large game yesterday morning.
There is said to be reward offered for
Frisco Slim" by both the authorities
and the railroad company.
