DUN'S BUSINESS REVIEW.
1t Says Business Is Waiting for Develop
ment OF the Retail Trade.

New YORK, Oct. 15.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Business is still waiting for the de-
velopment of retail trade There is
little better demand in some indus
tries, but not so good in others.
Wholesale dealers in nearly all
branches are hauling because BUSH
ness does not yet show distinctly
what it is to be. Lower prices for the
great farm staples and lower wages in
some establishments hinder purchases
for consumption, while political in
terest and uncertainty also hav some
influence. Meanwhile large imports
and small exports of merchandise,
with inadequate employment for
money here are raising the rates Of
foreign exchange, so that possibilities
of gold exports somewhat affect the
stock market. The hating attitude
for the moment is disturbing to those
who have looked for continued gain,
though rightly considered, it is the
natural consequence of conditions
which are to be expected at this sea-
son.
The government crop reports are
not greatly trusted, and yet have an
influence and actually aggravate the
tendency toward lower prices, be-
cause they are supposed to report all
the crops too low. Men calmly
reckon that if the government
report indicates over 100000, 900
bushels of wheat, the crop
must be over 100000 900, and
though Western receipts for the week
have been only 4,469,O75 bushels,
against 6, 1886, 3O2 last year, and Allan
tic exports only 647,244 bushels,
against 9OO,56 last year, the price is
slightly lower Corn is stronger, for
receipts are hardly a quarter and ex-
ports barely an eighth of last years,
and the question whether the actual
yield, if above the government esti-
mate, may not prove lower than has
been supposed.

CHICAGO, DC. 13-Eugene V. Debs

lean Railway union have mailed
100000 copies of an appeal for re-
organization of the old order. On
roads opposed to the American Rail-

slgners of the appeal. The circular
closes as follows:
1--WE are determined to push the
American Railway Union to the front.
1t is opposed by railway corporations
while all other organizations are en-
dorsed and encouraged by them. We
are not organized to tear down any
other organization but we are organ
lied to give real protection to our
members and not promises which can
not be fulfilled. We are prepared to
defend our order, its plans, its pur-
poses and principles against all as
sailants. All we ask of our opponents
is that they meet us on the platform
in full and free discussion where both
sides may have on opportunity to be
heard. If we cannot successfully
maintain our position we will retire
from the field"

Is The Triple Alliance 10 1t?

WASHINGTON, Oct l2.-The cable
report that the Italian minister in
Pekin in pursuance of instructions
from his government had offered his
services as mediator in bringing the
China-Japan war to a close is con.
strued at the legations here as posi-
BILE move on the part of the triple al
hance-Germany, Italy and Austria
to intervene. A member of the
diplomatic corps well informed
on the japanese situation said:
'If the dreibupd desires
to be factor in an international in.
tervention it would naturally select
Italy to take the initiative. Owing to
the relations between Germany and
France, any intervention by the for.
mer would naturally excite the oppo-
sition of the latter Germany would
be more likely, therefore, to have
Italy propose the intervention. ANY
arrangement made would, of course,
have the support of the triple alliance,
as Italy, Germany and Austria are
bound to mutual action, offensive and
defensive, in international affairs"
A Japanese newspaper received at
one OF the legations here says; mo
offer OF mediation on the part of a
third power would be accepted by
Japan until her object shall have
been completely attained, which is to
place Corean independence on secure
footing, and so to crush the power Of
China as to leave her totally unable
for many years to come to attempt a
retaliation"

definitely, at least three months in

indicated, provided, however, that
the termination of the commercial
arrangement shall begin to take
effect either on the first day of Janu.

Secretary Blaine's official note re-
peated the above language and stated
the arrangement would not be termi-
mated except on "at least three
months notice" The official notice
was made part of the commercial
arrangement and the presidents
proclamation. Notwithstanding this
provision, the new tariff law abro-
gates all reciprocity treaties, except
that with Hawaii. without notice.

TWO BOLD TRAIN ROBBERS.
They Hold Up Oregon Overland Express
and Make Away With $1,000.

anu -hahO away WIN SlgOOOs
SACRAMENTO, Cal, Oct. 1.-TWO
robbers captured the track walker
last night seven miles beyond Davis
vile and then, with his lantern, sig
nailed 20 the Oregon Overland train
from San Francisco, which was in
sight, to stop. Two men then jumped
on the locomotive and after firing
several shots forced Engineer Will
lam Scott to go back and uncouple
the express and mail cars. These
were then taken five miles from the
passenger cars
Then the robbers, with the engin-
eer and fireman, went to the express
car. Messenger Paige at first refused
to open the car and several shots
were fred, one of which grazed his
head. He returned the fire until
Engineer Scott begged him to desist
Then Paige opened the car and one
OF the outlaws covered the trainmen
while the other gathered up four
sacks OF gold and silver, amounting
to about $1,000.
The engineer and fireman were
forced to carry the treasure to the
engine. Then the two robbers
mounted the locomotive and rode some
distance. The men then left the en-
CINE after reversing it and disap-
peared. The engine struck the mail
cars but did no damage.
AS far as can be learned more than
500 pounds of coin were taken. If all
silver it would be about $1,000; if all
gold, about SIS, 1000. 1t is believed
that one sack weighing 100 pounds
carried by the engineer was gold,
considering the smallness of bulk as
compared to its weight. If so, that
sack contained about S25. 600

Of his administration of Indian

Democrats, only enough remaining
Republican to keep up appearances.
He referred to Archbishop Ireland as

lent use and added that the arch
bishops of America were at this mo-
ment behind closed doors plotting
against free schools and the free in

LONDON, Oct 12.-Dispatches from
Shanghai report that tens of thou
sands of Chinese troops are waiting
for arms, the supposed reserve stores
of rifles and cartridges having been
found not to exist. Many of the
troops sent to the front had no better
arms than axes and bows and arrows.
Additional contracts have been en-
tered into with German firms for sup
plies of fire arms of any pattern.
These firms charge exorbitant prices
for the delivery of their supplies at
European ports and China takes the
risk of transportation to Shanghai or
other Chinese ports.
