THE BUSINESS WORLD.

Dun's Weekly Review Has Little of Cheer
full Tenor to Give Out-Present Embar-
rassment Due to Lack of Confidence
Rather than Lack of Currency.
New YORK, Oct. 7.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade, issued to-
day, says:
1t is difficult to detect any signs OF improve
ment. While there has been some addition to
the number OF manufacturing establishments
and the number Of hands at work during the
past week. 1t is becoming painfully clear that
the orders obtained do not suf1ce to keep en-
ployed at full time even the limited force at
present engaged. The business transacted is
still far below that Of last year In volume. in
railroad earnings the decrease being 10 6 per
cent. in spite Of large Worlds fair business,
and in payments through the principal clear
90 per cent. There Is on the whole less &C
tivity and less confidence regarding the fu-
ture than there was week ago. and
this in many cases Is attributed to the un-
certainty regarding the monetary future
which delay in the senate causes. While the
volume of all kinds of money in circulation has
increased $2l. 377 PAT during the month of Sep
TENDER and is now greater by at least $40. Co.,
600 than 1t was last year, the embarrassment
is now, as all the time, due to a lack OF conf
dence. rather than to lack of currency. It is
observed that while the bank cir culation in
creased Tin September 8 SOC. 237, the amount of
bank notes In the treasury has increased s. ST.
1914. and several Of the banks which took
out additional circulation. have retired it and

BROKE THE RECORD.

The Fast Steamer Lucania, of the Cunard
Line Smashes the West-Bound Record,
beating the Paris Best Time by Fifty
Nine MISUNDERSTANDING Speed for q
Now Vessel.
New YORK, Oct. THE fast Cunard
steamer Lucania. which arrived from
Liverpool via Queenstown last night,
and which came within an hour and
thirteen minutes of breaking the west
ern record (held by the steamer Paris)
on her maiden voyage, has succeeded on
this, her second western trip, in estab-
fishing new record, having made the
passage in five days, Is hours and 25
minutes. The record of the Paris was
5 days, II hours and "a minutes. The
Lucania, therefore, breaks the best rec
ord for western trip by fifty-nine min
utes.
She passed the Daunt's Rock at 1:15
p. m. October 1, and was reported off
Sandy Hook lightship at 1915 p. m.
October 6. Her former voyage was
made in 5 days, Is hours and 81 min
utes. feat regarded as most remarka-
BILE, considering the fact that her ma
chinery was entirely new. and justify
ing the belief that she would break all
records on this trip, which expectation
she fully met.
The big steamer anchored outside of
Sandy Hook at 1927 p. M, it being low
tide. She will proceed to quarantine
about davbreak.

DR.. s. s. King, of Kansas City. was then given
the floor to discuss the resolutions. He dwelt
upon that portion which referred to the i'm
provement Of all the great waterways OF the
country, and especially those of the west and
south, and advocated this in strong terms. The
silver convention held last August in Chicago
was also discussed and the unfriendliness Of
the Chicago press toward the convention COM
mented upon.
The question of the adoption Of the majority
report OF the committee on resolutions was
then placed before the convention and by
unanimous vote it was declared adopted. The
resolution offered by Capt Powers was then
called up. but the gentleman from Indiana
stated that he had concluded to withdraw IT,

People In London Anxious for the Safety
of Relatives and Friends In South Africa.
LONDON, Oct. 7.-Important cipher
dispatches from Mashonaland reached
the colonial Office, yesterday, about
fighting between the British and Ma
labels. People in London who have
relatives or friends in Mashonaland,
either as settlers or in the employ of
the British South Africa Co., are very
anxious regarding their safety. The
cipher dispatches give details of a skir-
mish between a police patrol of the
South African chartered corps and
band of Matabel warriors. The po-
lice patrol was stationed on the Shashi
river, which flows along the southern
portion of Matabel and near the north
border of British Bechuanaland. The
Matabels advanced almost to the
north bank of the river, and fired on
the police, who answered with small
volley. The Matabels then retreated
hastily. Nobody on either side was
wounded. The Matabels are supposed
to have been a scouting party from
Chief Lobengula's main body of war
riors, now believed to be on the march
against Port Victoria.

A LEGAL CITIZEN.

Mrs. Ann Walsh. of st. Louis, Takes the
Oath and Secures Naturalization In Or
der to Complete Her Deceased Hus-
bands Land Entry.
ST. LOUIS, Oct. THE unusual spec
tacle of a lady seeking naturalization
was presented in No. 2 yesterday after
noon. Ann Walsh, a decrepit old lady,
hobbled up to the bar and took the
oath of allegiance. The case was
probably without precedent, and Judge
Fisher had to brush up his recollection
of the law governing such an emer-
gency. Mrs. Walsh is the widow of
James Walsh, who, in 1885, declared
his intentions of becoming citizen,
but who died before attaining full citi-
zenship. He had also made an entry
of land in Jasper county, and section
216S of the United States statutes pro-
vides that the widow of a declarant
may go ahead and complete the entry
upon becoming naturalized. Mrs.
Walsh was represented by Carlisle &
Ottofy.

THE WORST is KNOWN,

And the Thing that is Needed Now is
Speedy Relief for the Starving-Suf-
ferers by the Great Cyclone.
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 1.-THE full story
of the great storm is now told. Every
settlement in the path of the hurri-
cane has been visited and every sur
vivor interviewed has told his tale Of
its horrors and its heroisms.
What is needed now is relief, and
promptly, so that the survivors may
not starve or perish from exposure con-
sequent upon the loss of their homes.
At Chemeie Canunada re bodies
have been recovered and buried. A
few are found from day to day
in isolated localities, but it is
not probable that many more
will be discovered. The others were
swept out to sea by the great tidal
wave. This will always leave the
number of dead in doubt based on the
unknown quantity of the population
of the settlement at the time of the
storm.

Small Army of Them from Louisville.
KY, Visit the Worlds Fair.
WORLDS FAIR GROUNDS, CHICAGO,
Oct. 7.-Over half thousand bright
boys and girls from the public schools
of Louisville, KY, were at the fair yes
terday. They came to Chicago in a
special train over the Monon road, ar
irving at 1880 a. m. Prof. Taylor and a
corps of teachers, one for every twenty
pupils, were in charge of the chatter
ing army of little folks. They left the
train at Englewood, which is the near
est station to the exposition grounds,
and hurried into the Sixty-frst-street
electric cars, which quickly carried
them to the gates of the White city.
Inside the grounds the party divided
into squads so as not to interfere with
other visitors enjoyment of the indoor
sights, and made tour of the grounds.
The elements were against them SO
far as outdoor sights were concerned,
and their movements from one build
ing to another was retarded by the fu-
rioys winds. But the Louisville Wis
itors saw good deal of the fair for
one day, remaining to see the illumina-
ton until it was time to start home
ward at II o'clock.

Personalities.

Keep clear of personalities in gener-
al conversation. Talk of things, OBJ
jects, thoughts The smallest minds
occupy themselves with personalities.
Personalities must sometimes be talked,
because we have to learn and find ont
mems characteristics for legitimate OBJ
iects, but it is to be with confidential
persons. Do not needlessly report i'll
of others. There are times when we
are compelled to say: "Do not think
Bouncer is true and honest man."
But when there is no need to express
an opinion, let poor Bouncer swagger
away. Others will take his measure,
no doubt, and save you the trouble Of
analysing him and instructing them,
and as far as possible dwell on the
good side of human beings. There are
family boards where a constant process
of depreciating, assigning motives and
cutting up character goes forward.
They are not pleasant places. One who
is healthy does not wish to dine at
dissecting table. There is evil enough
in man, God knows, but it is not the
mission of every young man or woman
to detail and report it all. Keep the
atmosphere as pure as possible, and
fragrant with gentleness and charity.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS to Fight tho

tons attending the dispatching Of
troops to Melilli to punish the Moors,
who few days ago attacked the small
Spanish garrison at that place, have
caused the finance minister to make a
close examination of the resources
available for punitive expedition.
Minister of Finance Gamazo yesterday
informed Queen Regent Christina that
owing to an increase of &C, 900, 900 pesetas
in the revenue, due to the new taxation
schemes lately put into effect by Senior
Gamazo, the government has revenue
of 10000, 900 pesetas available for an
expedition ito Morocco if the govern
ment decides it necessary to send one.
The utmost indignation everywhere
prevails at the attempted massacre of
the Melilli garrison. Patriotic mani
festos call upon all men capable of
be airing arms to offer their services to
the government. The desire for VEN
geance upon the Moors for the moment
overshadows the excitement caused by
the attempt of Pallas to kill Gen. Mar
tinez de Campos by the attempt of
anarchist plots.
At Malaga. one of the important
military stations, hundreds of men
crowd into the barracks and the pre-
lecture, begging that they be enrolled
as volunteers to fight the Moors.
The soldiers of the regular army are
equally as anxious to be ordered to
active service in Morocco. The hero
ism displayed by the 400 troops form
ing the Spanish garrison at Melilli is
universally applauded. Those who
know the warlike character of the
people inhabiting the Riff mountains
and the fury of their easily aroused
fanaticism, express surprise that the
natives did not succeed in taking the
citadel by assault by the power of
overwhelming numbers
