NEW YoRx, February 15.-R. g. Dumb Co. .
Weekly Review of Trade says:
Silver and cotton have declined yet further,
the later 1916, the lowest price for many
years, and silver bullion to 41d at London,
the lowest price ever recorded, though there
followed slight recovery to 43d. Cotton re-
ceipts and exports are both much larger than
a year ago, but the stocks on hand decrease
but slowly and are very large.
Wheat declined ~ cents on sales of 49,
coo, COO bushels, the exports being seriously
diminished, and corn has fallen ~ cents on
sales of Is, COG, 600, western receipts being un-
usually large.
Lard and hogs somewhat stronger and
coffee advanced e but ell Is \ lower.
For the first time in many months the ex-
ports of products from New York fall little
below those of the same week last year, but
shipments from other ports continue large.
No change appears in the market for pig
iron, and rails are in small demand at the
fixed price. The demand for plates is smaller
than was expected, while the collapse of the
combination in beams and barbed wire has
somewhat depressing influence. Larger sales
of cotton are reported, while lead is a trihe
lower.
Reports from cities indicate a general i'm
provenent in trade and nearly all southern
points report an easier money market and
more hopeful prospects.
The business failures throughout the coun-
try last week number ~, compared with 319
the week before. For the corresponding week
last year the figures were 2s7.

LONDON, February lin the debate in
the house of commons on the address In re-
ply to the speech from the throne. Thomas
Sexton moved an amendment, declaring that
the majority of Irish people and their repre-
sentatives in parliament are convinced of the
inability of the imperial parliament to legis-
late for Ireland in the manner required by
the distinctive interests of that country, and
that this conviction has been intensified by
the manifest failure of the land purchase act
to afford a basis for extension of class occu-
pying tenants. Mr.. Sexton held that proof
of English inability to lcgisla.e for Ireland
was four d in the fact that while England
since the union had progressed by leaps and
bounds. Ireland had been reduced to the low
est level she had seen within a century. As
result not a pound of guaranteed land stock
had been taken. The eviction clauses also
failed. They had tempted landlords to ask
exorbitant prices. Until Ireland was set free
to manage her own affairs parliament would
lever be free to manage English affairs.
Mr.. jackson, chief secretary for Ireland,
replied that Sections criticisms of the land
act was premature. The act had been in ope-
ration only few months

Loud Speaking Telephone.

LAWRENCE, KAN, February 13.-Professor
Lucien !. Blake, professor of physics and
electrical engineering in the state university
at this place, has just succeeded in series of
remarkable experiments by which he now
has loud speaking telephone. The pro:es-
sor has been working at the matter for a long
time and has the satisfaction of hearing the
voices in the telephone at a distance of ten or
fifteen feet from the receiver. At an expert
mental exhibition given by the professor a
few days ago he was enabled to give large
number of friends a concert by attaching a
rnusic-boX to one end of the wire and attach
ing his loud speaking apparatus to the other
end the music was very distinctly heard and
the visitors could all hear at once.
The professor is working hard to complete
the discovery and intends to make an exper-
iment soon by connecting Kansas City and
Topeka and then giving a large room full of
people a concert from the other end of the
line. he thinks that he will have no trouble
in doing SO, as his crude experiments have
succeeded SO admirably, and he will at once
Improve his attachment. While experiment.
ing on this he made a remarkable discovery
in regard to the diaphragms, which he thinks
will revolutionize the matter of diaphragms
and telephones generally. He was not ready
to give this matter to the public, but thought
he would surprise the world in a few months.
The professor is pleased with his discoveries
and will give scientific report of it in
few days.

A Strike Nav Result.

ST.. JOSEPH, No., February 12.-It has been
announced that the Grand Island and Union
Pacific roads would accede to the demands
of the joint committee from the Brotherhood
of Railway Trainmen and Order of Railway
Conductors, who submitted their new sched-
ule of wages to the managers of those roads.
This announcement. was premature and in
correct The management of the roads de-
elm ed, point blank, to grant the demands,
and strike seems probable.
General Manager Robinson, of the Grand
Island, stated that the same demands had
been made upon the Union Pacific that had
been made upon his road, and that both
would stand together in resisting them. The
principal objection by the roads to the dc
mands submitted by tte employees was to
granting passenger conductors an increase in
salary from 500 to SIPS per month md to
substituting a new schedule of b.akemen's
wages for the old one.
A new member Of the JOINT committee from
the brotherhood of Railway trainmen and

of forty-si per thousand. This is the highest
point so far reached and gives great alarm
even IN medical circles lest it should pass the

Malta Responsible.

SANTIAGO, February 1I.-There has been
recently an evident disposition to lay upon
Malta, ex-minister Of foreign relations, all
censure for causing the present state of az
fairs between the United States and Chilli

received has been on account of the public
telegram of instruction which he sent 70
Minister Montt, Dec ember II. But Americans
in Chill are not disposed to regard the gen.
eral criticism of Malta as entirely just, for he
stated distinctly, in a speech before the SEN
ate. that the telegram had been sent after re-
ceiving the approval of his colleagues. The
American cruiser Yorktown, here, s practi-
caly in a state of seiae, the same that the

Explosion OF Ammonia,

HARRISBURG, Pa, February IA cast iron
cylinder weighing 400 pounds, twelve feet
in length and two feet in circumference, was
hurled by the force of an explosion of ammo
MIA from the cellar to the roof of the Com
mouwealth hotel. The cylinder was used in
the manufacture of artificial ice, and owing
to the weakness of the lower cap, it blew out.
The huge tube crushed through the five floors
and landed ON the roof. No one was killed.
Wilson German, tho chief clerk of the hotel,
was delu2ed with hot ammonia and was al
most suffocated and was struck with flying
debris. Joseph Porter, the engineer, was
also burned by the ammonia, but not seri-
ousiy. The stairway to the basement was
damaged by FIRE and the double doors and
windows on the Court avenue side of the
hotel were blown to pieces. The big tank in
its progress tore out joists and hoofings like
cannon ball. On its way through the
kitchen it lifted a colored man to the ceiling
without injury.

German News.

BERLIN, February 16.-Thc joint movement
of the dreibund's squadron in the Levant are
due to the diplomatic warfare over the sui
tan's investure of the khedive.
France and Russia are urging the sultan to
refuse the investure unless the khedive pro-
ceeds to Constantinople. Although the khe-
dives predecessors were invested at Cairo, he
is inclined to go to Constantinople. The
khedive also shows other symptoms of being
inclined to kick against English regime. The
foreign office here is of opinion that English
diplomacy will win and the khedive will be
invested at Cairo.
A number of German papers join section
of the English press in rancorous abuse of
the United States for the latter powers treat
ment of Chill. The cause is not hard to see.
The cause is jealousy of the extension of
American influence in South America, which
is leading to the loss of German trade. This
trade is already diminishing wherever it has
met with American competition.

Woman's Interstate Conference.
KANSAS CRY, Mo-, February 1.-THE
woman's interstate conference held here has
proved an immense success.
The audiences for the afternoon and two
evening meetings have been very large, the
Congregational church being crowded to the
last inch of standing room.
Wonderful enthusiasm has been expressed
by the people, and the speakers have sur
passed themselves in eloquence, wit and logic.
Three organizations were formed-the Mis-
sour State Suffrage association, the Kansas
City local and the Wyandotte county, Kansas,
sWarrensburg, was elected president of the
Missouri State association. and Mrs. May d.
Clark is at the head of the WyandOtte county,
Kansas. The Kansas City organization starts
Ert with 100 charter members, Mrs. kersey
Coates being president.
Miss Shaw has capti~ated Kansas City, as
she does every place she speaks. Miss Flor
ence Balgarine has been a great favOrite,
combining with oratorical talent of high Or
der, very progressing appearance. Mrs.
Mary Seymour Howell appears and speaks
very gracefully. Mrs. Clara c. Hoffman, of
Kansas City. Mrs. Elizabeth F. Hopkins, Mrs.
Laura NJ. Johns (whose speeches quito cap
tured the audience) and Mrs. May Bellville
Brown, of Salina, spoken of as the youngest
woman in the work. She is said to be about
o years of age and shows great promise.
! When Mrs. Johns declared the conference
closed she intimated that this, the first
woman's interstate conference of Kansas and
Missouri, will not be the last, and that there
is an intention of making these meetings an
nual. The reorganization of the Missouri
Suffrage association in good old Missouri
will give an impetus 20 the work of the suf-
fragists there, and since Mrs. Baxter has set
tied the question of woman's right to hold
Office, We shall soon have a stir which will
bring out bonnets to the polls eventually.

Peck I'm Denver.

DENVER, CoL.-The celebration in banquet,
song, story and oratory of the Colorado Loyal
Legion, in this city, was an occasion long to
be remembered. Aside from the military
celebrities of the centennial state, who were
present in force, Kansas sent a contingent of
notable military men, members of the famous
Seventh cavalry, once led by Custer. These
were General Forsythe, Captain Edgerly and
Major Whiteside. Kansas, too, furnished the
orator, who spoke about ''The Old Cause,
and What It Meant"
That is the title of the eloquent Grafton
that fell from the tongue of the brilliant
Kansas orator, George b. Peck. The occa-
sion, the day, the subject and the surround
ings all acted as framework to present the
address as rich work of nature and art,
filled with gems of literature and oratory,
which sparkled like the settings of precious
stones in the products wrought from Colo
radOs mountains of gold and silver.
