BRADSTREET'S REPORT.
Business is Improving in Spite Of
Draw Backs.
TEXTILE WORKERS STRIKE AND
THE GENERAL DROUTH

Have Had But Little Effect-A Feeling of
Confidence is Being Manifested and
Merchants Look For Good Fall
Trade.
New York, August 24.-Bradstreets
tomorrow will say: The serious indus
trial disturbances in New England, the
drouth in central and far western states,
curtailing nearly all the staple crops,
disposition in all lines to continue to
buy for nearby wants only, fail to great
ly influence general trade throughout
the country, the tendency of which is
toward further improvement. North
western states east of Missouri, and At
lantic and Gulf coast Southern states
report relati vely greater gains III the
volume OF trade land indicate that bet
ter feeling and confidence in the larger
volume OF business in the fall, on which
Improvement in BUSINESS depends.
Prominent among the evidences of ex-
pansion in general trade is this weeks
bank clearings, total of $3.50, 900, 900,
A gain over last week of about four per
cent over like total of year ago,
when the clearings got down to about
low water mark, an increase of 20 per
cent. sCompared with the total in the
like week two years ago, this week. s ag-
gregate clearings show decrease of 18
per cent
1t is worth noting as a sign OF busl-
ness movement that every city's clear
| ings total for the week is larger than
year ago, except one. The gains in clear
ings at whiskey markets, Louisville,
Cincinnati, Paris and Lexington, are
naturally expanded extraordinarily.
The greatest apparent increase in vol
ume IN business during the week is at
st. Louis, Baltimore, Chicago, st. Paul,
Minneapolis and San Francisco.
At larger eastern cities there is evi.
dence of increased confidence, that au-
tumn will bring a largely augmented
demand i'll nearly all staple Zines. Bal
timore is the only city in this group
southern buyers having placed good or
ders there for dry goods, notions, millin-
cry and shoes.
Slight gains.are reported only in Pc
troleum and shoes at Philadelphia, and
cheaper grades OF footwear and securi-
ties are marked at Boston. Sales of wool
at the latter point have fallen Oft sharp
ly, and wool importers and dealers hav-
Ing raw product in store IN bond find
transactions checked /. because OF doubt
whether they will be admitted free un-
der the new tariff. There is renewed
strength in the eastern states in cotton
goods. The market may hardly be re.
garded assevidence. of the relation OF de-
maEd totsupply, it being based on the
lockoutaand strike of mill employees.
Neither Buffalo nor Pittsburg find any

BOSTON MAN ARRESTED.
He Is Accused of Appropriating Fund

Deputy Hartnett yesterday afternoon
ordered the arrest of W. f. Robb of Bos.
ton, who is alleged to have misappropri-
ated funds. Robb came here several
days ago, and as he is a smart fellow
anda good talker, was given work selling
the official programmes at Rigby Park.
Yesterday it was alleged that he was
about to leave the state without account
ing for his sales, and his arrest was
asked for. When found at the Union
Station he .had just bought. a ticket.
He was taken to the station, where Dep
uty Hartnett tried to get him to talk
about his case. but Robb was apparently
too much intoxicated to do much talk
ing. 1t is rather uncertain on just what
charge he will be brought before Judge
Gould this morning. When arrested he
had his ticket for BOSTON and little
money in his possession.

No Credit for Strikers.

Suncook, N. H., August 24.-Six hun
dred of the 1900 mill operatives are out
tonight. and it is posi- BILE that the mills
may haveto shut down Monday. Every
thing is very quiet. At mass meeting
this forenoon, the strikers voted to re-
main out, 200 more having left work to-
day including 40 ring spinners. The
merchants here will not give much cred
it, and if shut down occurs it will be
decidedly unpleasant. . .
Enjoying Life.
Fall River, Mass, August 24.-The
first day of the big shut down of the
mills passed without disturbance of any
kind as far as court relations are con-
cerned. The released operatives are
glad to get away from the confinement
of the factories and sought refreshment
on the waves and shores of Mount Hope
bay. As rule they were not prominent
on the streets until late in the after
noon, when the female contingent be-
gan to be noticeable because of the
bright colored clothing. as if holiday
were at hand. While the present feeling
exists between the manufacturers who
forced the shut down AS result of the
meeting of the weavers thats.voted it Fri
day night, it now appears likely to re-
main for couple Of weeks. No sensa-
t1onal news is expecIed.

Buffalo, N. Y, August 24.-When Count
Rybadowski's "army" arrived the other
day, Sheriff Taggart granted it Iermission
to rest here, with the understanding it
should leave the county at the expiration of
three days. The time limit expired this
morning, but notwithstanding reminder
from the sheriff, the Count said the army
would stay here until it got ready to move
to Woodlawn Beach. This afternoon Sheriff
Taggar, with force of deputies, went to
the army's camp. The Count and his fol-
lowers were taken to Justice Forster's
house:near thescity.,ine and placedin a field.
The Count soon learned a sentence of
ninety das ways. fixed up for him, and the
men were to be sent to prison for varying
terms. The Count thereupon gathered his
men in circle around him and every men,
ber of the army had big club. Sheriff
Taggaret shouted to the deputies take that
man. and commanded the policemen stand
ing near, and all citizens. within the sound
of his voice, to fall in as special deputies.
The deputies, police and citizens advanced
upon the tramps. Several shots were fired
by the sheriff S men, and the deputies and
the policemen used their clubs vigorously.
For about three minutes the tramps held.the
ground, fighting desperately with clubs,
then they broke and ran, the Count after
them. Sheriff Taggard's men overlook the
Count and arrested him and several follow
ers. When the battle was over two tramps
were found lying on the field with broken
heads. 1t is believed they will die. Several
others in the Counts army were hurt, but
not seriously, and none of the shots took
effect. Two policemen and some citizens
were injured. Their injuries are not serious.

THE END IN SIGHT.
Congress Will Adjourn Sine Die on Tues
day Next.

:Washngton, August 24.-After a ses-
sion lasting four minutes, the Senate
went into executive session, and the
door remained closed until 1.25 p. m. AL
business transacted was not exclusively
of.an executive character. One of the
official reporters was admitted, aud leg
isiative matters taken up.
The House concurrent resolution for
final adjournment of Congress on the
2Sth inst, at 2 p. m., was laid before
the Senate and passed. The following
bills were taken from the calendar (be-
sides several private bills) and passed:
The House bill to provide for the collec-
tion of internal revenue and appropria-
ting S.000s for an additional force, in
connection with the income tax. appro-
priatiDg $4,000 for expenses.of. .ar bitratiOnof
the claim of Venezuela ssSteams Transpor-
tation Company against the government
of Veneuza. The Senate bill to correct
errors where double allotments of land
enormously made to 1ndianai to correct
errors in the patents.
Mr.. Black burn, Democrat, of Ken
lucky. attempted to call up resolution
authorizing the committee on rules to
sit during the recess.
Mr.. Blanchard, Democrat, of Louis
lana, objected, and the matter went ov-
er.
The House joint resolution on armor
plate was received and referred to the
committee on naval affairs.
The Senate then adjourned until
Monday.
The Alien Arnachist Bill Killed.
Washington, August q. The House passed
joint resolution today providing for the
adjournment of the present session of Con-
gress at two in the afternoon of August 2S.
Another unsue cessful effort was made to
consider the Hill bill for the exclusion and
deportation of alien anarchists. An amend
mert has been agreed upon by advocates of
the measure, and those members who
previously antagonized it, defining an anar-
chist to be person who advocates destruo-
tion by force of all government or of the
government of the United States. This was
satisfactory, to the objections heretofore
made. Mr.. English, Democrat of New
Jersey, entered an objection and the bill
again went over. This time probably finally
for this session.
Two or three unimportant measures were
passed, and after session of an hour the
House adjourn ed until Monday.
