with the pizott disclosures and the famous
suit against the London Times.
The detective says that the Clan ma Ga el
Is going TO be organized in the United
states under the leadership OF Patrick
Egan aud Patrick Ford This mo vement,
he claims. is the result of the rejection by
the House OF Lords OF The home rule bill
Continuing the detective says that the af-
fairs OF the Clan-n ma Gael have been in T.
disorganized condition owing to the revela-
tions OF the Parnell investigation and the
murder OF DR.. Cronin in Chicago. but the
officers now CLAIM, that the reorganization
is quietly progressing. The detective is
quoted as saying that it is partly due TO
the absence from the United States OF Mr.
Egan that the Clan-na-Gael has not taken
decided action before this. He also claims
that there Was u silent compact with Mr..
Gladstone to the effect that things should
remain quiet until he had tried his hand us
passing the home rule bill
The detective explained at length the
split in the Irish party in 1888, when the
Clan-na- Gael supported Harrison, and
showed how Mr.. Egan was rewarded, con-
tinuins: If Egau had been in "A position
TO act at the last election Harrison would

NOT BRIGHT FOR BUSINESS,
Little or No Improvement Noticed the Past
Meek


New York special: Il q. Dun's Revie "
of Trade will say: Ii is ditiicult to detect
any signs Of Improvement. While there is
some addition TO the nuuber OF M inufac-
turing establishments and the number OF
hands At work during the past week. it is
becoming painfully clear that the orders
obtained do not suffice to keep employed at
full time even the limited force Mt present
engaged. Reports from other cities dis
close a distinct check in business. There
/ Oh the whole less activity and less conf
dence regarding the future than IL week
ago, and this in many cases Is attribute d
To the uncertainty regarding the monetary
fI'ure. on account of thc delay IN the SEN
ate. The stock nf money IN New York
banks has Increased rapidly, aud the re-
tirement Of clearing house certificates here
aud ut other cities shows great improve
ineni in the monetary situation.
The movement of wheat Is fairly large
aud the price has declined about cents
while corn also yielded about cent Pork
products are somewhat higher. 1t is pos
sible that the surplus currency Ia circula-
tion has the natural effect uf stimulating
speculative activity. Happily the changes
thus far have not diminished exports OF
products, which continue fairly large.
Failures continue To decrease In number
and Importance, though not MS much ~
hoped. The number in The United States
the past week was $40 against 1874 for the
same week last year. The disposition to
include all banking and financial failures
with those OF commercial aud manufactur-
lug concerns during the past year led to
statements which do much injustice to
mercantile interests
