Kansas City Times The Missouri sen- ators say that they lave absolute evi- dence that MT. Harrison voted the straight Repu ublican ticket in 1899, ex- cept for candidates for local office in Jackson county.
 The committee on commerce of the senate will report on the nomination. The Democrats of this committee are Ransom of North Carolina, Coke of Texas, Vest of Missouri. German of Maryland. White of Louisiana, White of California and Murphy of New York.
 It is reasonably certain that at the request of Mir. Vest sll the Democrats of the committee, with the exception perhaps of Mfr. White of Louisiana, and all the Republicans, would vote to re- ject Harrison's nomination.
 The Missouri senators are in earnest, although they are saying but little about the matter, and it need not sur prise anyone if the announcement is made within 6 very shox$ time of the senate's refusal to approve of Scott Harrison's appointment.

REVIEW OF TRADE.
Business Shows a Consider
 able Falling Off.
IS WAITING ON CONGRESS.
Almost Everywhere Trade Has De- cided Disposition to Go Slow Until the Tariff Question Is settled.
 Failures Exceed Last Week.

NEW YORK. Dec. ll.-R G. Dun 6 Co.'s weekly review says: Trade of all kinds is waiting. There is no visi ble improvement and on the whole indica- tions are little less satisfactory than week ago. The volume of business measured by the clearinghouse returns outside of New York shows decrease of only 12 per cent. compared with last year. which is encouraging, but as the statement covers payments for the first of the month it may not correctly meas ure the volume of new transactions. Reports from other cities show hesitat- ing trade almost everywhere with de- cided disposition to wait until congress acts on the tariff question. Hence the days of uncertainty are likely to last some weeks.
 Wheat has risen & shade on lighter receipts Receipts of corn are unueu- ally large. The movement of cotton is not encouraging to holders, and ap- pearances indicate larger supply on the plantations than was expected. The price declined an eighth with strong evidence of continuing heavy receipts wearying to holders.
 Cotton manufacturers do better than other branches at present, and yet have not very healthy appearance. The demand is not strong aud prices of goods are barely maintained. In woolen goods the sense of disappointment is very clear, and there seems no reason to expect any decided recovery until nk1 Al0A Aaw Several works stopped production dur ing the past week and others are run ming only to fill orders, which will soon be exhausted. No quotable change is noted in prices, but the sales for the week are much less than for the cor responding week last year. The de- mand for speculative purposes con- tinues and large portion of the sales is of that character.
 In iron and steel manufactures there are symptoms of improvement. The eastern markets are waiting. There is a feeling that the new steel combine will result in decided decreased de. mand for rails, and also for pig iron, and at Philadelphia and Pitts burg no 1 improvement in price is seen.
 Failures for the week, 9S6 in the United States, against 271 for the cor responding week last year; 42 in Can ada. against 36 last year. The preyi- ous weeks ia ilures were 319 A classi- fled statement of liabilities of firms failing the last two weeks in Novem Der shows remarkable decrease in the ag- gregate and also in the amount in each section of the country, the decrease be- ing about one-third in manufacturing concerns and about 40 per cent. in the liabilities of the firms. Manufactur- ing liabilities were sl,208, ,449, against 1 $2, ,082, 990.

One Of the Brazilian Cruisers Lands ae
 Barhadee. In Bad shape.
 NEW YORK. Dec. 1.-The Brazilian cruiser America, which sailed from New York for Rio on the night of Nov, 26 for the purpose of fighting the rebel Admiral Mello's warships, is lying at Bridgetown, Barbadoes, so seriously disabled by the act of an unknown traitor among her crew that she will probably be unable to continue her voyage for several weeks.
 A cable message was received by Flint & Co., from the West Indies an nouncing that one of the vessels valves, among the most vulnerable parts of a ships machinery, had been broken by some unknown member of the crew, and that the vessel had thereby been SC seriously injured that long delay must occur before she could continue her vorage.
 The indications are said to point most strongly to the traitor being in the engineers division. The cable message did not give the particulars of the affair. It is said that men in the en- ploy of Mello are on board.

Making Lemonade,

woman recently, while visiting an
English friend who is living in this
country. We had a small dance one
evening of my stay, and my hostess
served the most delicious lemonade |
ever drank. spoke of it the next
day, and she told me it was made
with freshly boiled water-the secret,
she said of thoroughly good lemon

informed me, which insures success

The Dog with a Purpose.

Darby language is not very elegant
or grammatical, but it sometimes
has an originality and force of ex-
preston that convey its meaning
better than any dictionary would do.
Some young men were standing in
the little park at the corner of
Twelfth street and Massachusetts, av-
enue admiring a bulldog belonging
to one of them, when a little white
dog trotted around the corner. The
bull bounced upon him, and in an in
slant the air was full of the bowls of
the dog and the voices of the boys as
they came to the rescue and began
kicking and hauling the bull to make
him loose his hold
A colored man who had come up
took hand III the confusion with
great enthusiasm, and they finally
pulled the big dog off. The little dog
went down the street like two yards
of white paint, and the Other broke
loose and went in hot pursuit. The
colOred man watched the race for
moment and then yelled: He won't
ketch i'm; he won't ketch i'm. Dat
udder dawg's got purpose, he has. "
He didn't 'ketch i'm" either. Wash

Hidden Tattoo Marks.

An escaped convict was on trial be-
fore a French court, and the question
turned upon his identity with a pris-
oner known to have been tattooed.
There was no appearance of colored
marks upon his arm, and the ques-
ton submitted to NJ. Leroy, amedico-
legal expert, was whether the man
had ever been tattooed. M. Leroy
applied strong friction to the skin OF
the mans arm. This had the effect
OF bringing out white lines as cica
trices, with a slight blush tint. By
this means the word Sophie was
plainly legible in white marks on tn,
