Business Improvement is Slow.

New YORK, November OR. G. Dun d
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
Business is gaining but there is constant
complaint that the improvement is slow.
There has been great encouragement during
the past week, in fact the November pay
ments are far more satisfactory than it was
feared they would be, and yet the extensions
of the month would have seemed alarming
in other years. The extraordinary shrinkage
in the purchases for consumption, if less
ening, has still made it impossible for many
firms to go on as before, and the largest
failure of the week, Thurber, Wyland &
Co, illustrate the embarrassment. None
tary difficulties 10 longer hinder. 1t is true
the treasury cash has fallen, but there is no
such alarm as there was when the gold re-
serve alone went below the hundred mil
lions. Business is not leaning on the treas
ury.
The condition of industries improves, but
they wisely wait the revival of purchases by
the consumer. Twenty-four works of all
kind have wholly or in part resumed, against
fourteen closing; yet less than half the iron
working power is active and out of ninety
nine wooden mills at the east only ten are
working full time. while forty-fVe were shut
up November l, the production for the four
months in mems woolens being 14,A3, 431
yards against Is, 554 ,3O6 last year.
The failures of the week have been 49,
against 200 last year.

tn. South Might as Well Civ. Up.

WASHINGTON D., c.. November 1s.-Be.
fore meeting of the democratic members
of the house ways and means committee a
Mr.. Bush. of Alabama. protested against
placing iron ore or coal on the free list
Protection on iron ore and coal had gridi-
roned Alabama with railroads and developed
these industries until Ala bama now annually
produces one million tons of pig iron and
five million of coal
I'm the case of free ore, where would you
be distressed by it and where would 1t come
in in competition with your replied Mr..
Wilson.
I'VE would be cut out of any sale of iron
in the eastern states. The effect would be
to restrict our market to the south and ex-
clude US from the eastern market where We
would have to meet the low competition of
Cuban and Spanish ore. II this committee
as reported" continued Mr.. Bush, sis to
put lumber, rice and sugar, coal and iron
Ore on the free list then the south might as
we'll give up. 1t would be the death blow to
southern prosperity"
In conclusion Mr.. Bush said: ave are
not politicians, we are plain business men.
We are democrats from principle and we
OF our friends. If We do its the natural
question to ask: How long will we con-
tinue to kiss the hand that sn1ites US. If
you bring in your bill with these articles on
the free list you will, think, have every dem
ocratic senator and representative from Ala
bama opposed to it."

CAN'T AGREE.
Ways and Means Committee
Still at Sea.
Texas and Ohio VIII Not Stand Free Wool,
Alabama Does Not Want Free Iron
Ore, and Lumber, Salt, Coal,
Etc, Also Have Friends.

WASHINGTON. D. c.. November 15.-h had
been generally acceI { ID upto quite recently
that the democratic party was unitedon the
proposition of putting coal, wool, iron ore,
salt and lumber on the free list, but the
latest developments have indicated that this
Il not the case.
Mr.. Culberson and other Texas members
have already sounded their opposition to
free wool, and they are likely to receive sub
stantial encouragement from Ohio members
and the representatives of the grazing states
of the west.
Several of the Alabama representatives are
protesting against the proposition to place
iron ore and coal on the free list. The e1-
fensive lumber states, both of the south and
west, are almost unit in opposing free lum-
Der. The Michigan members will probably
oppose free salt to a man, as it Is stated that
even Mr.. Whiting, of the ways and means
committee, will contend the effect OF plac-
ing salt on the free list will be only to give
the English salt manufacturers monopoly
of the American markets and close up the
the American works.
With a score or more of influential gentle
men demanding a caucus for the considera-
ton of the tariff bill. and various Others de-
Glazing they will not vote for the measure II
il makes the drastic reductions on the arti-
Giles in which their constituents are inter
ested, the difficulty of securing democratic
harmony on the measure now being evolved
by the ways and means committee Is every
day becoming more apparent.

PROMISED Currency LEGISLATION.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. November 17.-When
asked for something about the measure un-
derstood to be under consideration by him.
self and colleagues, Mr.. Springer said:
"We have been engaged for several months
in the preparation of measure which will
introduce in the house and have referred to
the committee on banking and currency, of
spond as far as possible to the reasonable
demands of the country for a better system
of currency and to provide some plan by
which our currency may be placed on bet
ter basis. Any effort, in my judgment, to
return to the system of state banks, which
prevailed before the war, would be futile,
even if the 10 per cent. tax on state bank
calculations should be removed; it would
furnish little or no relief to the country. A
great many states in the union have adopted
constitutional provision prohibiting the
chartering of banks in those states for the
purpose of issuing or with authority to issue
circulating notes. Such notes, therefore,
could only be of local value, and while some
states would provide a safe system, the expe-
rience of the past shows that irredeemable
issues of paper money would flood the coun-
try, that counterfeiting would be universal
and the currency system of the country
would be thrown into confusion. What is
required and demanded by the country is a
national currency, which shall at all times
be convertible into coin on demand, which
shall be elastic in character, sufficient in
volume and so distributed throughout the
country as to respond to the wants of trade
and prevent congestion in the great money
centers."

The Destroyers at Work.

MARsE1LLEs, FRANCE, November 18.-An.
archists made desperate attempt to blow
up the residence of General Mathelin, COM
mander of the Fifteenth corps, at about mid
night.
The house occupied by the general is sur
rounded by high wall into which sentry
boxes are built, but not used recently. In
these a number of little cases of dynamite
were placed, and a larger case of the explo-
sive was placed in room adjoining the
apartments occupied by the general and used
by the orderlies of the commander of the
Fifteenth army corps.
The case of dynamite in the orderlies'
room exploded at about midnight with q
loud report, SCATTERING the walls and hurting
a mass of debris into the guard room, with
out, however, injuring the orderlies or hurt
ing any of the soldiers in the guard room.
Every pane of glass in the generals and ad-
joining houses were broken by the force of
the conclusion and the girls school and
octroi buildings opposite the generals resi-
dence were especially damaged.
The effects of the explosion were felt a
mile from the spot where it took place

Judge Dillon Opposes W. c. Jones.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. November 18.-It may
be of special interest to the friends of Colo
mel Jones in Kansas, and of moderate inter
est to all others interested in the marshalship
fight in the state to know that a very impor-
tant step was taken in that matter recently.
1t is another one of those sly games. and
comes. as claimed, from John F. Dillon, of
New York. who is prominently identified
with the Union Pacific. While here few
days ago he enlisted his part of the inner ad-
minlstration circle to explain to the presi-
dent that he did not want Jones appointed
marshal. He made it personal request that
he be turned down, and he did not care who
was appointed after Jones was set aside.
AS claimed, the appeal had its effect, and
the president gave assurances that he would
respect the wishes of Dillon. Inquiry as to
the reason Judge Dillon made this sly turn is
rewarded with the information that he was
induced to do so by reason of personal griev-
ance against Jones, dating back at the time
the colonel handled railroad strike in which
Dillon was interested.

The Gold Reserve.

WASHINGTON, D. c., November 15.-Plans
have just been perfected whereby the gold
reserve of the treasury may be increased to
its legal limit of $1OO,OOOOOO. This is to be
done by means of an understanding with the
banks of New YORK, whereby they are to in
crease the proportion of gold in their de-
posts with the New York sub-treasury to
cover certified checks that are presented by
importers in the payment of duties. 1t is
the system now in vogue for the banks to
keep special deposits at the sub-treasury for
this use and heretofore gold has not aver
aged more than 1 per cent. The bulk of
the payments are made in treasury notes.
As the deficit in the gold reserve is now only
$15,OO0,O 900 and the associated banks of New
York have on hand fully $90,000,0OO it is
thought this scheme, which is the result of
the recent visit of Secretary Carlisle to New
York. will be carried through.
None of the officials of the treasury are
willing to discuss the reports that the gold
reserve is to be strengthened by the assist
ance of New York banks, which, it is said,
will release their gold to make payments fot
customs dues.

A Railroad Treasurer Robbed OF 10000
I'm the Rookery Building in Chicago
Two Ordinary Looking Men
Did IL and Got Away.

CHICAGO, November III. A. Drake. treas
urer of the Indiana, Illinois d Iowa railway,
was assaulted in his Office in the Rookery
building and robbed of many thousand dol
lars, which he had packed in valise prepar.
atory to going out on the road to pay the
employees.
The result of a long conference between
the officials of the road and Inspector Shea
threw but little light on the matter. Detec-
tives have but little to work on, and just al
present are cropping about in the dark.
"Mr. Drake came down early in the morn
ing" said Inspector Shea, 'to secure money
with which to pay off along the line. He
took 900 from the safe, intending to leave
on the z 80 train. He was followed into his
Office by two ordinary looking men and
struck down and the $4,000 taken. He was
struck on each temple and his head bears
marks of blows"

SILVER PARTY.
Senator PETER Says It is Now
Forming.
che New Party to Take In All Who Agree
With Populis's on the Money Question
Tho Populists to Form n Part
Of the New Party.

WASHINGTON D.. G.. November GA
umor being current that populist leaders
we're contemplating a change in their organ
cation, Senator PETER was called upon by
he Associated Press representative and un-
lesitatingly stated the rumor of the proposed
change was we'll founded.
~ expect" he said, "a new alignment Of
parties to be found after the congressional:
.lection next year, and that the new party
will be ready for our work in the presiden-
:ial election of 1896.
"The populists will form part of a great
organization, which will probably be brought
together under another name. The populist
party will have the same relation to this new
party that the old free soil and abolitionist
parties bore to- the republican party, which
was after organized by the coming together
of all the people opposed to the extension OF
slavery in the national territories"
When asked what would be the issue upon
which the new party would organize, he said
it would be a question of money. while
the populists have fundamental doctrines
other than that relating to the volume OF
currency, which they cherish and will con
tinue to cherish, they recognize that the first
step in securing the reforms which they ad-
vocate, is to settle the money question, and
they believe that it would not be good poll
tics or wise craftsmanship to decline to CO
operate with their fellow-citizens who believe
just as they do concerning the first move IN
the solution of the problem which they re-
card as vital.

Foreign Ore vs.. Home Mines.

WASHINGTON. D. c.. November M.-The
southern manufacturers who are protesting
against the abolition of the duty on iron ore
and coal have issued a public statement ap-
pealing to the democratic party for protec-
ton to the several hundred million dollars
invested in manufactures and mineral
lands in the New South" within the past
fifteen years.
The southern iron men have resolved to
resist the repeal, forgetting for the moment
all differences of political beliefs and mindful
only of the better and more stable thing, to-
wit. domestic prosperity. Millions of dollars
have been invested in the south in the min
ing of iron ore and coal on the supposition,
and reasonable one too, that they would
not be put in jeopardy in the house of their
friends. If the duty is repealed and there
should follow the erection of furnaces on
the coast, to use foreign ore, as is now antic-
ipated, what is to become of the investment
already made?
at is easy enough to say after furnaces
have been blown out and rolling mills closed
down. that a mistake has been made, but
that will not repair the wrong"

The Opposing Interests in Hawaii.

WASHINGTON, D. c., November 16.-An
Hawaiian official, here, says:
There are in the island at present about
10000 whites, including Portuguese, Ger
mans, Spanish, Englshmen and Americans,
and about 10000 natives, of whom probably
5000 are half-breeds. In the. event OF an
outbreak the Portuguese, Germans and
Americans would stand together, because
their interests are so closely interviewer. On
the other hand. however, the royalists would
have the support and encouragement of such
Englishmen as are opposed to the annexation
of the islands to the United States, repre-
sentatives of the Louisiana Lottery COM
pany, who do not want the American flag to
wave where they can obtain foothold, Claus
Spreckles and people interested in opium
smuggling. :,
'AIi these latter class have been promised
immunity and protection by the queen, and
in the case of the Louisiana Lottery COM
pany bonus of $4,000 was promised her
majesty if she would grant certain conces-
sions. This gave her an idea that she could
make the lottery company support her IN
idleness without having recourse to bankers
in her kingdom, and she cheerfully consented
to do and give all that was asked of her.

Features of Plan to Tax Incomes.

WASHINGTON, D. c., November 15.-The
question of an income tax is rapidly COM
ing to the front as lively issue. The prop
osition which finds most favor is to levy a
per centum tax on all incomes of $500 per
annum and over; but those of the commit
tee who are now giving the most study to
the matter are inclined to another plan which
they think more practicable. This is to i'm
pose an income or capitalization tax on cor
porations-that is, to collect fixed annual
tax, either from the earnings or the paid up
capital stock of corporations. This has led
20 still another proposition which contem-
plates the taxing of all corporations at the
the tax to be levied by means of stamp
and the amount of the tax to be attached to
the license. to depend upon the amount OF
capital stock. 1t seems likely in the end the
committee may adopt some moderate plan.

Conditions Satisfactory.

TOPEKA, November 21.-The final report.
of the state board of agriculture for this year
is issued by Secretary Mohler and is as fol-
lows:
On the final report of the corn crop the
correspondents of this board place the total
corn product for the state at 1864 1863
bushels on a total area of G, III, 462 acres. By
belts as follows: Area eastern belt, $780,
BOT acres product eastern belt, 83,285,572
bushels; area central belt, 2,549,6OO acres;
product central belt, 81, OBS, 1855 bushels; area
western belt, 472,555 acres; product western
belt, 1898, S42 bushels.
The average yield per acre for the state on
the entire area planted is 1872 bushels.
The area sown to wheat in the state as
compared with last year is reported at SO
per cent. The central belt reports about
the same area as last year. The eastern
belt reports loss of 14.5 per cent. and the
western belt loss of 25.5 per cent.
Correspondents report wheat in the
ground generally throughout the state in good
condition and that the soil has sufficient
moisture for good growth.
Stock generally is reported in good con-
dition and feed for the most part is plenti-
full.
In general way agricultural conditions
throughout the state are quite satisfactory

only Congress Can D.clar. War.

WASHINGTON, D. c., November 16.-Minis.
ter Thurston touched the marrow of the
hopes of the Hawaiian representatives when
he said that any attempt to overthrow the
present government by a foreign power
would be an act of war. An act of war re-
quires the consent or declaration of congress.
Congress will undoubtedly take up the sub
iect of Hawaii in some way Immediately
upon assem- bling in December. The fight,
it is said, will be made on the administration
policy in this line-that it has declared war
without the congress, and has therein done
an unlawful act.
What effect it would have on this proposed
policy If the present government should
peacefully yield to the persuasions OF the
American minister is also discussed. The
question involved is whether SO peaceful
proceeding could be regarded as an act OF
var. 1t is argued that it would be an act OF
aggression on @ sovereign power none the
less because the power peacefully yielded to
the threat of 90 Overwhelmingly superior
force.
There is shrewd surmise in Washington
that the restoration of Liluokalani TO the
throne may not be followed by the entire
withdrawal of the influence of the United
States, but that with the work of the last ad-
minlstration once undone a nrotectorate
may be established over the monarchy.
One clear and certain result of the present
incident would seem to be annexation will
never be proffered to the United States by
the Hawaiians again. If there is ever to be
annexation the movement will originate in
this country

Hayes and Powderly.

PHILADELPHIA, November ia fight was
begun at the session of the Knights of Labor
convention between the Hayes and Powderly
factions, which is likely to continue with
great bitterness during the remainder of the
convention. The members of the order are
trying by every means in their power to
keep the matter quiet, but to no purpose.
General Treasurer Hayes presented a re-
port of the financial affairs of the order for
the year just passed in which he is said to
have fatty accused the general executive
board of having Incorporated all or part
of the fund subscribed for the benefit of the
strickers at Homestead. This report, which
was direct fling at Powderly, became the
subject of an acrimonious debate, in which
both sides INDUCED in almost unlimited
abuse of one another.
A report was also presented by the general
executive committee, the effect of which can
not be learned, but it is understood it makes
counter charges.
