BRADSTREET'S OPINION OF
THE BUSINESS SITUATION.
The OUTLOOK NOT ENCOURAGING.
Is the Probable Settlement OF Next
Seasons Iron and Steel Wage
Scale without a Strike-The
Export of Wheat-The
Price Movement

New YORK, May 9s,-Bradstreets
Trade Review says: THE unfavor-
able conditions prevailing in COM
mercial and industrial circles
throughout the country. together
with the prospect for no material
improvement during the sum-
mer, marks the present season
as probably the dullest relatively
for twenty years. At no time since
panic and business depression mani
tested themselves last year have re-
ports as to the volume of sales of
merchandise, the manufacture of
staple goods and the indisposition of
merchants generally to buy except
for absolutely immediate wants, been
so pronounced and so general through
ont the country as during the past
few weeks.
Superficial examination of busi-
ness conditions leading to unwar-
ranted optimistic conclusions a TO
the nearby future of trade have not
been wanting; but, as a matter of
fact, based on comprehensive and
careful examination, the next few
months promise a continuance, if not
An intensifying, of existing conditions
of extreme dullness and depression.
Quite unfavorable advices come
from Pittsburg, where there are
numerous shut-downs, involving large
numbers of men. The total number
of industrial employees idle as result
of coal scarcity is placed at 81, 200, and
the total idle number on account of
strike, which now appears likely to
fail, is 100000 In other industrial
lines $4,000 men are reported idle as a
result of strikes, making the total
number now idle 235, 1000. An encour-
aging industrial feature is the prob
able settlement of next seasons iron
and steel wage scale without a strike.
Exports of wheat flour included),
both coasts, United States and Canada,
this week equal 100000 bushels,
against 100000 bushels last week,
5,1O6, 900 bushels year ago 9,9sO,OOO
bushels two years ago and 2,349, 900
bushels three years ago. The price
movement as to staples continues to
see-saw-cotton, wheat, corn and oats
all reacting slightly from former de-
pressions, while, wool, sugar, lard,

THE EXPLOSION STORY.

Cripple Creek Miners Deny That Eleven
Men Were Blown Up With Powder.
CRIPPLE CREEK, Col, May 2S.-The
sensational reports sent out from here
that eleven men had been killed by the
explosions of giant powder in the
Strong mine on Battle mountain is
positively denied by the miners here.
They declare that before they applied
the light to the fuse they took pre-
cautions to see that all the miners
had left the shaft. The fact that
superintendent Samuel Mcdonald and
Foreman Charles Robinson of the
mine were missing gave color to the
murder reports, but miners declare
that the two men had fled Thursday
night because they were afraid to re-
main and put non-union men to work.
About midnight the strikers seized
an engine and cars at Victor and went
to Wilbur, ten miles down the Flor
ence & Cripple Creek road, where the
Denver deputies were encamped. It
is reported that at 4 o'clock the strik-
ers and the outpost of the deputies ex-
changed shots, and George Crowley,
miner, was killed and three injured
while several of the deputies were
wounded. As the wires have been
cut, particulars have not been OBJ
tanned.
A non-union miner was shot and
killed in a saloon at Victor at : o'clock
this morning.

DENVER, COL, May 9s.-The trial Of
Grand Chief Telegrapher Ramsey is
in progress in the convention of the
order behind closed doors. He is
charged in thirty-nine counts with
violation of the laws and usages Of
the order. A. ]. Applegate of the
Wichita division presides and Ramsey
is represented by A. D. Thurston,
grand editor of the order, and the
prosecution by NJ. NJ. Dolphin of the
Kansas City division.
One of the most serious charges
made by Grand Secretary Weatherbee
is that of obtaining money irregularly
and destroying records by tearing
leaves from the cash book and other
books. Weatherbee also charges that
Ramsey had reported in his expense
accounts having paid railroad fame
when he rode on passes. Some mem
bers estimate that $751; has dis
appeared, for which. no satisfactory
account has been made. 1t is claimed
that Ramsey engaged his brother and
wife as Jerks in his Office when the adj
ditional assistance was unn ecessary
One charge which is receiving care
full attention is that during the Allan
tic and Pacific strike two years ago
Ramsey sold out to the company by
sending operators to take the places
OF the strikers and sent his brother to
take charge of them and report at
Topeka.

WASHINGTON, Mag 9&-When the

vote on his Hawaiian resolution: but
Mr.. Gray held if there should be a
vote on resolution relating TO Hawaii
1t should be on the one which Mr..

tee on foreign relations. After half
an hour of debate Nr. Harris insisted
upon the regular order aud the tariff
bill was laid before the senate.
Mr.. Frye protested against cutting
off action on the Hawaiian resolution,
1t was of supreme Importance to the
Hawaiian islands that the senate
should take some action. He asked
unanimous consent that those resolu-
tons should be voted on without de-
bate tomorrow morning. Mr.. Turpie
objected and Mr.. Frye modified his re-
quest and asked that they be consid-
cred again tomorrow. bnt Mr.. George
objected.

REPORTER EDWARDS REFUSES.
Declines to Give Names TO the Sugar
Trust Invest eating Committee.

Trust investigating Committee.
WASHINGTON, May 9s.-Judge Dit
tenhefer, counsel for Correspondent
Edwards, appeared yesterday before
the sugar trust investigation and an
nounced he had advised his client
not to give the committee the names
of the persons from whom he re-
ceived certain information bearing
upon the subject under investigation.
He quoted the supreme court decis-
ions in the Kilbourne and Counselman
eases in support Of his position.
Among other reasons, Judge Often
hefer stated that for Mr.. Edwards to
disclose the names of his informants
would be to degrade him as a news
paper man.
The committee overruled Judge
Dittenhoefer's objections, and again
calling Mr.. Edward in, repeated its
demand that he give the names re-
quested in the first instance, and re-
peated his final decision not to comply
with the demand. He was then ex.
cused, and the committee again went
into secret session. No decision as TO
a future course of action was reached.
Senator Gallery and ex-Congress-
man LIE Fevre of Louisiana were be-
fore the committee later. and denied
the story of their participation in the
alleged conference with the sugar
trust.

APPEAL NOT SUSTAINED.
Southern Presbyterlans Take Final
Action in the Means Case.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, May 2s.-In the
general assembly of the Southern
Presbyterian church yesterday, the
Means case was taken up and argu-
ment was resumed by DR.. Flynn. He
argued that the use of the telephone
on Sunday was a necessity, and the
result OF its use was to lessen Sunday
labor. His speech was strong pres
entatiOn of the synod's position.
DR. Luper followed and spoke in
favor of enforcing the law as it stood,
and not construe laws to fit every
case. This was not a question Of
what the law should be, but what it
was. If Miss Means work was a
necessity she should not be dis
ciplined, if it was not she should be.
The question was, did the synod do
right? He argued that the session
and Presbytery did right. Then the
vote was taken, and each member had
two minutes to explain his vote and
express his view. The roll call began
at 400 and closed at $40. The result
was, not to sustain the appeal from
the synod, II; to sustain, As; to sus-
tain in part, S.
