About the Countrywide Out
look Not Encouraging.

Some industries are clearly doing
better. For the first time in many
months the shipments Of boots and
shoes from the east exceed those of the
corresponding week last year. and
while the new orders are not very
promising and the majority of fac
tories are doing about half as much as
usual. there is sensible Improvement in
the demand for womnn's goods Onc'
more the sales OF wool are 1000 900
pounds more than for the same period
last year.
New YORK, May 1S,-R G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review OF trade tomorrow
will say: The obstacles TO improve
ment do not lessen. The strikes OF
coal miners aud coke workers have not
ceased, but have caused the sEoppsge
Of numerous works this week, and em.
barrassment to some railroads. The
conference at Cleveland exhibited
much angry feeling and wider differ
snces than had been expected, and
seems to render agreement more dis
tant. Proceedings in the senate do not
indicate that the latest form OF the
tariff revision has made speedy final
action more probable.
So real calamity, the long strike OF
miners, results in better prices for Bes-
semcr iron, steel and many steel pro-
duets, and to iron making concerns OF
the east partly compensatss for the
overwhelming advantage which the
Pittsburg and Ohio regions had se-
cured in tho fierce competition for
some months. Foundry and mill iron
are in abundant supply, with little
change in price, and though the de-
mand for finished goods Ia not large.
firmer prices appear where there might
be decentralization, II parts Of the works
we're not forced to close.
In Chicago, also. the market hns bsen
the best for months, with structural
iron and plates sitter. At Pittsburg
the demand has raised bessemer iron 50
per ton. This week wheat touched
low water and the average Of prices is
1879 per cent. lower than year ago
Wheat has sold at 81 cents
Customs receipts are again 30 per
cent. less than u year ago. aud internal
revenue Z per cent. less. Banks hold
large reserves, but are sure to be called
upon for movement OF crops. which
promises to be larger than last year,
The decrease In domestic trade rep.

There has since electrocution was first
proposed, existed a belief on the part OF
many that it was a barbarous method OF
inflicting the death sentence. The West
inghouse people have, it is said, declared
from the first that death did not result
from the shock but from the surgeon S
knife when the autopsy was performed
Several prominent physicians have held
this opinion and a DR.. Gibbons Of SYRIA
cuse has suddenly sprung into prominence
through the claim that he has perfected
an apparatus with which he feels sure he
can produce artificial respiration in the
body of the person who has undergone
electrocution and restore the victim to the
fullness of life that according to his theory
has not left the body Gov. Flower is said
to have expressed a willingness for the at
tempt to be made by DR.. Gibbons, who says
that without any apparatus he partially
produced respiration in the body OF muir
derer johnson while that body lay on the
autopsy table and would have brought
him to life, had he not been interrupted
The famous electrician, Nicola Tesla,
thinks that in the cases of the first persons
to be killed by electrocution the blood was
cooked and that in any way in which a
person may be killed by electricity, the
suffering is terrible. He thinks that if the
victim be resuscitated the spine will re-
main paralyZed.

If the President has erred in the bond
issue it is on the safe side and in that re-
spcct he stands opposed to the majority of
his party, that in erring on such ques-
ton would have erred ON the wrong side.
There will be many who feel that they are
as DESTROYS as Mr. Cleveland of maintain
ing our credit, who WILL nevertheless, de
clare that there is no demand at present
for issuing this extra fifty millions in
bonds. Both the President and his party
are responsible for conditions which have
brought about the deficit and both
must share the blame 1t was evident,
moreover, that he could not rely on Con-
gress to do anything save to increase the
perplcxities. nor on his secretary of the
treasury If the bonds are needed then
the President did the only thing he could
to supply the need but we very much
doubt whether he can make explanations
satisfactory to the Southern and Western
contingents of his party. Neither has
he relieved the growing impression that
the more he assumes dictatorial powers
the better he enjoys them.

This is, doubtless, the greatest religious
poem of the present generation, written
in the English language. 1t voices the
aspirations of a great religion which has
been hitherto indefinite, only a name, to
the majority of people. 1t came with a
surprise to thousands that the teachings
of the Buddha We're in many respects akin
to those of Christianity. The beautiful
story of the Prince Siddartha renOuncing
his lofty station to bring new light to
suffering humanity, told in Sir Edwin
Arnold's mellifluous verse, has brought
delight to many readers. This, the first

beauty of type. its convenience of size and
tastefulness of binding appeal to still
