Business Failures in 1892.

The number of business failures in
the United States during the calendar
year 1892, with the exception of South
Dakota (where state law renders it
unlawful to report such information,
except under prohibitory condItlons),
is 1920, smaller total than has
been reported to Bradstreet's since
1882, ten years ago, with the single
exception of 1887, when the like sg-
gregate was 9,74U.
This is not the only astonishing
part of the exhibit, for the grand to
tai Of liabilities of falling traders in
the United States in 1892 appears to
be only s1O8,5O0,OO0, total also
smaller than in any year since 1882,
without any exception. A similar
comparison may be made as to assets,
the total of which is s54, 100000.
The total business population of
the United States in 1888 was $685.

Germs, individuals and corporations of
sufficient standing and perlnanence to
be of record, and the number Of fail
ures in that year amounted to 0.299,
the first time the aggregate had pass
ed the 10000 mark. Yet in 1892,
nine years later, with a "business
population" of 1895, 900, a gain of
ri per cent, the number of business
failures is only 1920, or about the
same as 1t was nine years ago, and
the debts of failing trades are 40 per
cent smaller now than then. This is
the most striking feature of The years

Notwithstanding the bitternessof feel

Clay, a son Of the dead woman, walked

NEW Yokk, April 1O.--A Times spe-
cial from Tacoma, WASH, says: For
some tins d number of citizens in Van
couver and New Westminster have been
agitatiug against the present provincial
government, ostensibly because the lat
ter failed TO bring redistricting meas
nre at the present session Of the legisla-
tnre The movement was not looked
upon seriously until Friday, when it
was learned that huge scheme was on
foot to bring about the separation of the
main land from the island and establish
the former as
A Separate Province.
A Vancouver 81 ecial says that the
principal movers are General Twigg, at
whose residence several meetings OF the
secessionists have been held; j. b.
Keith, manager of the Bank Of British
Columbia; ]. MI. Duval, well known
labor agitator; j. G. Brown, member of
parliament, from New Westminster;

managing editor of The News-Adver-

Kitchen, member of parliament from
New Westminster; j. Balfour Kerr,
realestate speculator, and a number
OF other well known characters. The
New Westminster Columbian and the
Peoples Journal of this city are con-
trolled by secessionists to disseminate
their views. Agents are to be sent out
through tile rural districts of the
main land to educate them in favor of
the scheme.
The secessionists have actually gone
90 far as to nominate the personnel of
the provisional government for the
main land ais soon as the people are
ready for secsassion
