TRADE CONTINUES LARGE,
In Spite of Storms, Floods, Strikes an
Exports of Gold.

In Spite of Storms, Floods, Strikes and
Exports of Gold.
NEW YORK, May aG.-R e Dun & Cos
weekly review OF trade today says:
Storms and foods. prolonged strikes and
large exports of gold, have done their ut
most this week to give business a vaca-
tion. But the wants unsatisfied during
the past year, belated and much lessened,
and yet greater than those of any other
nation, have caused volume of trade
quite large for the season. Prices of
products still tend downward, without
much speculation. 1t is not surprising
that farmers still retain wheat at present
prices where they can. Corn has been
stronger, Notwithstanding large receipta
snd insignificant exports.
Pork products all declined with heavy
receipts, and coffee is also lower. The as
tonishing cheapness of wheat and cotton
will affect the rapidity of movement in
the fall, and also will directly lessen the
amount of money required in moving the
crops. While the iron industry especially,
and many others to some extent, have
been restricted by scarcity of coal and
coke, the number of works resuming has
been greater than the number stopping
from other causes. But it is n symptom
not to be overlooked that the demand for
manufactured products, instead of in
creasing, appears for the moment rather
smaller than before, and Indifference of
buyers is shown in cancellation of orders
hitherto given.
1t is n waiting season, but the DISPOSE
tion to wait is this year much intensified.
Failures diminish in Importance, the
amount of liabilities for the third week in
May being only s2.20i. 139, and for three
weeks s.. .s3i ,912. of WHICH s2.6is,GS7 were
of manufacturing and s5,025,OO1 of trading
concerns. The number of failures this
week is 1888 in the United States against
$50 last year, and in Canada twenty-three
against fourteen last year, and again
there are noted scarcely any of import

PROGRESS TOO SLOW FOR THEM
Senate Democrats Impatient at the rari0
bill Delay,


WASHINGTON, May 26.-The Democrati.
managers of the tariff bill have been conc
ferring among themselves with the view
OF finding means Of fastening the final
disposition Of the bill, and at one time de-
cided to ask the Republicans today to
agree to date when the vote should be
taken, but after conference with the lend.
ere on the Republican side of the chamber
decided to postpone the request for the
present They had expected to ask that
the date for'the vote be fixed on the sth or
9th OF June. and thought they would be
able to secure an agreement for about the
10Th OF June. The conference with the
Republicans convinced them that if the
request should be made now it would be
antagonized and probably would result in
locs Of time and in no appreciable &C.
complishment, whereas if it should be
made later it might be acceded to.
Will Call for Night Sessions Soon.
They have not yet decided whether they
will ask for an extension of the hours into
the evening, but say the Republicans will
decide that matter by their course in the
debate. II fairly rapid progress is made
for the next few days the evening sessions
will not be attempted, but otherwise the
senate in all probability will be asked to
sit until 10 O'Clock every night until the
bill shall be acted on by the senate and
sent to conference. The Republicans were
inclined to insist on continuing the debate
on the Kyle Hawaiian resolution in the
senate yesterday, but Gray declared that
ii IA Hawaiian resolution was to be consid-
cred the Turpie resolution had the right
Of-way by precedence, and while arguing
this matter the time for the tariff bill de-
bate arrived.

And this precipitated an exchange of

from the Tennessee man and Harris re-
tOrted that Hoar violated the rules of
continuing debate on another matter
when the tariff bill was up. '.As far as
the courtesy of the senator from Ten
nessee is concerned" he added, "he owes
less courtesy to the senator from Massa-
chusetts than any other senator on the
floor"
IF the senator from Tennessee owes any
body any courtesy" retorted Hoar, che is
"A hopeless bankrupt: he could not pay one
thousandth of a mill ON the dollar"
He could pay as much rs the senator

EXCITING CHASE OF A COW.
Wild West Scenes at Rising sun and
the Highlands.

Tho Frightened Animal Jumps Fences
and bitches with the Ease of a steeple-
ciiaser--Einally Captured After Fierce
Pursuit..
Tuesday evening between and 7.30
O'clock, on tho Highlands and at Rising
Sun, YVES witnessed chase after COW
which drew y large crowd and afforded
much fun for the spectators, but which
was decidedly hard on the cow.
About two weshs ago drove of COWS
were being driven from Kennett Square
to tho slaughter house on Tatnall street
iu this city, Near Groen Hill one Of
the cows made dash from the herd,
leapGd over fence and escaped. Five
co!ored men employed about the
slaughter house were given So as q
reward to capture tho COW. Since then
they have chased the animal up and
down the roads in the neighborhood Of
Rising sun and finally got her to the
abattoir. Monday she was being led to
the slaughter pen, but her time had
not come, for she made dash for
liberty and went out Of the slaughter
house, down the street, out through
Browhtown and to the Folly Woods,
and from there she got over again in the
neighhorhood OF Rising Sun.
Tuesday night the colored men made
another attempt to capture her, and
gave her lively chase through the
Highlands, but the COW went over
fences, bitches and anything that came
in her way just like any sll-round
athlete would do.
After lively run around the High
lands the COW started up through the
railway cut between Mt. Salem par
sonage and john 5. Miller's property.
Tho men thought they had her coraered
here, but she went over fence like q
deer into one of the Toy fields, and
from tho field back again to the rail-
road, and up toward Rising Sun depot.
A boy tried TO head her off, but she
lowered her head and charged on the
lad, who tumbled over fence just in
time TO escape being helped over.
The animal by this time was wild,
and the five colored men with clubs and
ropes came yelling after her as she went
over another fence into Jerry kelley's
barnyard. She was chased round and
round this place, going over fence after
fence, with the yelling mob after her,
the darkies trying their best to knock
her down with stones. Finally, in at
attempting to jump into cow pen she
stumbled and fell and Immediately the
colored men were upon her. They tied
a rope to her under jaw and fore and
hind legs, the COW having already ring
in, her nose, and started her out. When
she got out of the stable she jumped
and reared and beloved with pain, but
the colored men held on to her, and
after a long struggle went off down the
pike toward the city with the captive in
| tow.
In the struggle the ring was torn from
the cows nose, and she was otherwise
badly bruised. She did some damage to
a new fence around building being
erected on Mt. Salem road, as she broke
about dozen pickets in going over the
fence twice in about the same place.

TIE riRIEE " TITS Ctr.
Importers Are Holding Their Goods in
Bond Admitting Free Duty.

A number of importers in this city
covering glassware imports, goat hair,
lumber and wooden goods, are keeping
their articles in bond awaiting the
Presidents signature to the new Tariff
bill, thereby saving the duty they would
have to pay under the Mcklsley bill.
The average duty all round under the
Mckinley Tariff bill is l0.5s, as against
the present bill of 3s.GS, reduction of
almost % per cent, which, on large
import, would make quite . respectable
sum.
Goat skins with the hair on are taxed
under the Mckinley bill and there are
quantities of that article in bond and
also inyoiccd here.
The same is true Of glassware and
wooden goods which are now in bond in
this city.
Collector Townsend is in the position
of waiting for Instructions from the
department. He stated last Tuesday
that the action here of the now enact
mcnt will be to reduce the amount of
duty collected, but probably against
that to largely increase the imports.

FRIGHT CAUSED HIS DEATH
Paralyzed at the Prospect of
a Collision.
He MOVED NOT HAND OR FOOT
But Stared Straight Ahead
with CLASSY Eyes.

Associated Press Dispatch BY Special wire.

Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires
TOPEKA, KAN, Aug. i5.-P. +.
Skyles, who was in the Santa Fe wreck
at Hurdland, No., Sunday morning,
made statement to Master Mechanic
John Player few minutes after the
collision which makes it reasonable to
presume that Engineer Humphrey died
Of fright before the two engines came
together.
AS they were approaching the Hurd-
land switch Skyles moved to Hum
phrey's side in the cab and said: "Was
it not at Gibbs we had orders to stop I"
Just then the headlight OF the west
bound train showed around the curve.
Humphrey said not word, nor moved
hand or foot, but looked straight ahead
with CLASSY eyes at the other engine,
which was moving at a terrific rate.
SRyles spoke to him again but still tho
engineer did not move and the fireman
to save his life jumped
The other engineer and fireman re-
yersed their engines and saved them
selves by jumping. When the collision
| occurred their train was almost at a
dead stand, proving that If Humphreys
engine had been reversed at least a seri.
Gus wreck could have been prevented.
Whether Humphrey was dead or alive
when the. two trains colided, no one
will ever know, but from Skyles' state
ment it is certain that when he heard
Skyles remark and saw the approach
ing headlight at the same moment, he
realized that he had done ar awful
thing and was paralyzed by its enormity,
| ii not actually killed by fright.
