THE STATE OF TRADE.
BETTER FEELING REPORTED IN
BUSINESS CIRCLES,
Despite Industrial Disturbances In New
England and Drouth in Central aud
western States. the Trend of General
Trade is Toward Improvement.

New YORK. Aug. Bradstreet's
says: Serious industrial disturb
ances IN New England, drought in
central and far western states, cur
failing nearly all staple crops, and a
disposition in all lines to continue to
buy for nearby wants only, fail to
greatly influence general trade
throughout the country, the
trend of which is toward public i'm
provement. Northwestern states east
OF the Missouri and the Atlantic and
Gulf coasts and Western states re-
spectively gain in volume of traffic
and spread of that better feeling and
confidence in a larger volume of busi-
ness in the fall, on which improve
ment in business depends.
Prominent among evidences of ex-
panslon is general trade in this weeks
bank clearing's total. The $500, ,0O0.-
900, gain over last week of abuut 4
per cent, and over the like total year
ago, when clearings got down to
about low water mark, the increase
Is 20 per cent. But compared with
the total In the like week two wears
ago this weeks aggregate clearings
show decrease of Is per cent. 1t is
also worth noting as a sign of the
business movement that every city's
clearings total for the week is larger
than week ago, except one.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Aug. 27.-
General Antonio Ezeta and his fellow
refugee from San Salvador were
prisoners before Judge Morrow in
the United States district court yes.
terday morning Attorneys for the
Salvadorian government were present
and asked for a continuance.
Counsel for the prisoners demanded
an immediate hearing under the
charges. They stoutly maintained
that they were political refugees and
were unlawfully detained and that
they had been illegally restrained
since June last.
The attorneys for the government
of San Salvador argued as earnestly
to show the justice of a continuance.
After listening to the argume nts
Judge Morrow continued the case
until Monday. September 3, declaring
that the treaty with Salvador pro-
vides for such continuances and that
the delay asked for was not I'M
reasonable.
Counsel for defendants moved for
bail. The motion was taken under
advisement. The defense then OBJ
jected to the jurisdiction of the court,
because they had been brought into
the country against their will. Hhe

Pain-Most of the Unfortunate Men
Were Asphyxiated by Smoke.

SEATTLE, Wash, Aug. 25.-A ter
role calamity occurred in breast No

mine, near this city yesterday after
noon. The cause was fire in breast

The lire was soon extinguished and
the work of taking out the bodies
began. All were recovered.
About half of the miners were col
ored men, having been brought from
the East four years ago to replace the
strikers. The mine is owned by the
Oregon Improvement company and
produces the best coal in the state of
Washington.

who went in from the surface. upon
reaching the sixth level north. ran

he found the first body, and then the
rest of the miners were found scat
tered along in row. In one place
eight men were lying together, and
IN another one man was lying under
a mule, five mules in all being dead.
Story says that the men were all
lying in the middle of the gangwav
with their faces in the mud as if they
had tried to bury their heads com
pletely and thus escape the deadly
and obnoxious coal smoke.
AS the bodies began to arrive at the
surface OF the mine slope the excite
ment of the wives and mothers. and,
FOR that matter, the whole populace.
became uncomfortable. At o'clock
the last of the thirty seven bodies
was recovered and the people began
