TRADE OUTLOOK.
Business OF All Kinds Held Back By Labor
Disturbances.

Disturbances.
NEW YORK, April 2S.-R. G.. Dun &
Co. S weekly review of trade says:
when accounts of great strikes and labor
disturbances crowd all newspapers it is idle
to look for much improvement In business
That every week Of idleness for so many men
must apprectably lessen the aggregate power
10 purchase products Of labC- is evident But
in spite OF all some improvement still appears.
Continual reports Of changes in the tariff bill
add 70 difficulties OF producers and dealers.
With continued business depression and new
crops drawing near even the unlimited sup
plies OF idle money do not kindle speculative
hopes
''The increase in liabilities OF firms failing
stin continues, and the aggregate reported for
the third week in April was only 81 1872 462 and
for three weeks OF April g. pss 5Ss. of which
g. li0l9I were manufacturing and S38 H.

been very equally divided as to sec
tions the east having the larger number, with
liabilities Of 81, 900. the south s25T2 900 and
the west 81, $4,000. The failures this week
have beer $50 IN The United States against 2l6
last year, for the first time In many months
showing decrease and in Canada twenty-six,
against twenty-five last year. The list includes
none OF great importance
Bradstreet's says:
"The general business situation throughout
the United States is less favorable, as is shown
by reports from more than fifty important dis
tributing centers. A specially depressing
influence is the strike OF $4,000 bituminous
coal and coke operatives in twelve
states Buffalo, Cleveland, Chicago and

Grief at kalamazoo.

KALAMAZOO, Mich, May |. - The
death of Senator Stockbridge caused
manifestations of sincere grief from
his many friends in this city, where the
senator was so generally beloved for
his sturdy character and open-handed
generosity. His liberal gifts to Kala-
mazoo college and the Young Mems
Christian association here will remain
as monuments to his great-heartedness
His business partner, S. A. Browne,
and Banker Dayton, another intimate
friend, were moved to tears as they
learned of his death
LANSING, Mich, Nav 1.-Senator
Stock BRIDGES death was great shock
to his numerous personal and political
friends here, as none of them were
aware that his illness was critical
Both personally and politically he was
held in high esteem by his fellow-citi-
zens and nothing but words of deep
est regret followed the announce
ment of his death.
The News in Washington.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-The news of
Senator Stockbridge's death was re-
ceived in Washington with general sor-
row. One of the most kindly and APP
proachable men in public life, he was
universally popular with his colleagues
and had marked influence in the SEN
ate. 1t has been known for some
months that he was in ill-health, but
there was no idea that he was in dam
gerous condition.
Sketch of the Senator's Life.
FRANCIS B. Stockbridge was born in Bath,
Me, April 8. 1925 Early in his life his parents
moved to Chicago, where for some years ne
wss engaged in the lumber business. THIS
grew rapidly and in a comparatively short
time he had acquired large lumber interests
in Michigan. In 1851 he decided to move
to Michigan and he took up his resi-
dence in ST. Ignace, where he owned several
lumber mills While living in St Ignace he
also acquired large mining property, which he
retained up TO the time of his death. He moved
10 Kalamazoo about twenty years ago and has
lived there since. He was elected TO the state
legislature in 1869 and to the senate in 1871,
and March 4, 1887, took his seat in the United
States senate as republican He was reelected
again in 1893 and his term Of service would
have expired March 8, 1899 The senator had
large lumber interests on the Pacific slope, was
the proprietor of a large spring factory q Kali
aHdzco anu was We'll hiOMu tuFouRHOdb INC
state as man of large means who freely spent
his money for the benefit Of the poor. he was
largely interested in the Brown q Co. stock
farm near Kalamazoo, and many of the prod
ucts Of his stable rank high in speeding circles.
Although he had had only common school
education in his early youth, he was a great
reader, and had acquired a considerable knowl-
edge OF art science and literature during his
life. Probably there was no man in Michigan
better knowa TO rich and poor alike than was
he He hai often said that, as he had no chill
dren of his own he would in measure adopt
those Of his neighbor, and his kindly spirit
made him beloved wherever he was known
While still a young man he was married to
Miss Elizabeth Arnold, who survives him

Carrying Destruction In Its Wake.

SPOKANE, Wash, March 31.-As a
result of two great snow slides on
Canyon creek. in the Occur d'Alene
mountains, yesterday three families,
consisting altogether of fourteen per-
sons, were buried beneath thousands
of tons of snow and any possibility of
any of them being rescued alive is out
of the question.
Snow had accumulated on the
mountains to a depth of fully sixty
feet and the late rains caused the
huge mass to move at several places
Yesterday morning a section 800 feet
IN length, near the Black Bear mine,
became detached and started down
the steep mountain side at a terrible
pace, and before the inhabitants
of the cabins in the path of
the slide could flee the avalanche was
upon them. Trees were torn up by
the roots and boulders carried along
with mighty force. the whole shaking
the earth as if an earthquake was
coming. Two families were carried
along with the slide and buried out of
sight at the bottom of the canyon.
OSoOn after the first slide took place
another occurred further uD the can
yon near Burke. 4 family named
Chilson, consisting of father. mother
and three children, heard the ava
lanche coming. Picking up the chill
dren the parents attempted to fee to
place of safety, but before they had
gone fifty yards they were overtaken
by the mass of snow and crashed to
death
