New York June 1.-BradStreet tCmor-
row will say: The decidedly unfavorable
condition of general trade reported last
week continues without material improve

prolcngs the sitting effect on wholesale
business. The great coal strike continues

side. More mills, factories and furnaces
have closed their doors for want of fuel.
The pig iron industry of the central west

burg and vicinity, the scarcity of fuel has
greatly stagnated business. There are
no new labor strikes but almost all of
those previously reported are in existence.
The favorable features came from Du-

WIT OF LORD nowEN.

Regarding the wit of Lord Bowen, of
the British court of appeals. the West
minister Gazette relates many incidents
of which the following are few: Many
stories are told of Lord Bowen's gently
ironical manner, and no man in this gen
GRAFTON possessed that particular gift in
the same highly wrought perfection. But
1t occasionally proved a drawback to him.
especially in dealing with juries. Once
we believe, during the short time that
he went on circuit he was tempted to
sum up ironically. 1t was the case of a
burglar who had been caught f1agrante
delieto, having entered from the roof, and
taken the precaution to leave his boots
on top. His defense was that he was in
the habit of taking midnight strolls on
the roofs of houses. and that he was
tempted by curiosity to descend and have
look at one of the houses.
Lord Bowen treated the defence very
seriously. IF, gentlemen he said to
the jury, you think it probable that the
prisoner considered the roofs of houses
a SalubriouS place for an evening walk
if you suppose that the temptation to in
spect the interior of the houses beneath
him was the outcome of a natural and
pardonable curiosity, in that case, of
course you will acquit him and regard
him as a thoughtful and considerate man,
who would naturally remove his boots be-
fore entering the house, and take every
precaution not to disturb his neighbors. y
To the judges amazement, the jury took
him at his word and promptly acquitted
the prisoner

New York. June 1.-The business
mems meeting in Carnegie Music hail.
ito protest against the income tax feature
of the proposed tariff bill, was notable
for the character and number of the
audience, and number and enthusiasm
of those who attended. The cali was
signed by nearly 500 representatives of
the largest business interests of the
city.
The platform was crowded with gen
Itlemen, influential in the business walks
lof life. Preparations had been made
Ito accommodate the crowds expected,
speakers having been selected to adj
dress an overflow meeting, should the
hall prove insufficient. It was some
thing disappointing that the promoters
waited for the crowds to come. and the
speaking, which was to begin at 8
o'clock, was delayed half an hour. At
that time the auditorium contained
about LOCO people.
Colonel William L. Strong president

the meeting to order, and nominated

Senator Hill, in his letter of regret
at being unable to attend, said:
THE effort to incorporate an income
tax in the pending measure has de-
layed a speedy disposition of the tariff
question, and induced a surrender of
nearly every correct and consistent
principle upon which a tariff reform
measure should be based. 1t is clear
that it would not be advanced by Con-
gress if senators would vote according
to their conscientious convictions,
rather than in pursuance of a dicker
and a contemplate promise founded
upon no principle.
1T is immaterial whether this
scheme is popular or unpopular; or
whether it taxes the many for the Dene-
fit of the few, or the few for the bene-
fit of the many; it is equally indefensi-
bic, virouS and unreasonable.

A LITTLE TERROR.
How Baby Amused Itself on the
Street Car.

Street Car.
It was a very cunning little child, just
beginning to talk, and its mother manip-
ulated it so as to show its sweetness tc
the best advantage for the rest Of the pas
sengers. The lady who sat beside the
other on the cross seat Of the. car smiled
at it, the woman opposite chirped at it
the man across the aisle let 1t play with
his cane. Amid all these attentions the
little one crowed and laughed and squirnh-
ed around III the very ecstacy of pleasure
Every now and then, however, the child
turned toward the lady next to it, and re-
garded her with fixed admiration. Finally
it put out its chubby hand and cautious
ly felt her nose through her veil. Then
everybody looked at the nose and saw
that it was very red. Conscious of this
observation, the woman with the red
nose got red cheeks and red neck. The
nose in the meantime lighted up like a
beacon, greatly to the delight of the baby
who grabbed at it under the impression
evidently, that the nose had been colored
up for its especial enjoyment.
"Pitty!'' cried the child, trying at the
game time TO take hold of the nose.
The unfeeling man, with whose cane
picked up the discarded stick. and the
mother tried to choke the baby off with
kisses. The other woman smiled sweetly

She was mad enough to bite the child S
head off. But the little innocent began
to pinch it's mothers nose, and make a
mental comparison between that organ
and the nose shining through the veil
This was certainly odious. But the closer
the infant studied the two noses, .he more
satisfied it appeared to be that the red
nose was the prettiest and most desirable
So it playfully grabbed for the red nose
once more. to the equal discontinue of the
owner of the nose and the owner of the
baby. At that point the woman with the
nose arose and made for the door, the
baby began to yell with disappointment
and the spectators laughed merrly -Ros-

NO NATIONAL AID.
The State of Colorado Must Take
Care of Herself.

Washington, June If the Colorado
people rely upon the national govern
ment to use it's military forces against
the Cripple Creek strikers without ap-
plication in due form from the gov
ernor or legislature, they will be sorely
disappointed. Although no applications
for federal intervention have yet come
to the war department, they will be
absolutely without result if they do
come.
The reason, as explained at the de-
partment is that there is no authority
to be found in law for federal action.
The issues involved are regarded as
purely state and not national in their
present aspect. The suggestion the ma
tional government might intervene be-
tween Governor Waite and the sheriff s
forces, under cover of section $685. re-
vised statutes, was soon disposed Of.
That statute was framed in recon
struction days to permit the national
government to so into state and pro-
tect any of its citizens when they were
denied protection by their own state
officers. 1t was embodied in the army
regulations, but in the first case that
arose the courts held that the act was
unconstitutional, and SO it is of no
avail at present. The opinion prevails
at the war department that if. Governor
Waite violates the law he can and will
be restrained by the state judiciary.
and they are looking for some such ter
mlnation of the present difficulties

FINANCIAL OUTLOOK.

New York, June 1.-Bradstreet's Finan-
cial Review tomorrow will say: Wall
street apparently regards the fate of the
sugar schedule of the Senate tariff bill
as likely to decide the immediate ten
dency of speculative values. The pros
poets OF a prolonged debate and the I'M
repressed activity and created an unusu-
ally dull and waiting market other fac
tors have been neglected, or, at most,
produced a Slight impression on prices.
The continuance of the bituminouS strike,
and the shipment of S. go. 600 more gold
to Europe in the face of weaker ex-
change market have been no less inef-
fectiVe than the settlement of the rail-
road rate war in the west and the out
break OF a similar disturbance in the
south.
parently welcomed by the street as a
respite from an Improbable state of af-
fairs.
Europe has limited it's participation to
very limited purchases and the public is
absolutely out of the market. This atti-
tudo, however, simply reflects the indis-
position of the larger professionals to
take an active part in the market, while
there is such uncertainty as to whether
the adoption of the sugar schedule will
encourage a rally, or its reduction fur
nish occasion for depression.
Trading has consequently consisted of
an exchange on contracts between board
room broSers-the only feature being the
apparent care taken by the manipulators
OF sugar stocks to repreSs any decided
movement in that security supplemented
by manifestations of further strength in
Chicago Gas.

BANNOCK BONDS INVALID.
Important Decision Affecting Idaho
Counties.

Boise, Idaho, June 1-[Special. 1.-The
supreme court, today, handed down an
important decision in the case of Ban
mock county against c. Bunting & Co..
The suit was to compel Bunting to take
$120 900 Bannock county bonds accord
ing to agreement. Bunting had re.
served the right to pass on the legality
of the bonds. The court decides in
favor of Bunting, holding the bonds
invalid, because the question was not
submitted to vote of the people. The
bonds were for funding warrants, but
as they would be issued before the
warrants were redeemed, the debt
would be increased.
The same decision invalidates a $4,000
warrant issued to pay for the court
house site in Pocatello. 1t is held not
to have been a necessary expense; that
it increased the debt over the revenues
for the year without vote of the PEG
pie. and, therefore, in conflict with
constitutional provisions.
The decision is of interest to all coun-
ties, both those that have funding
bonds to float and those where war
rants have been issued over and above
the revenues of the year for more or
less unnecessary purposes

APPEAL FROM JENKINS, ORDER.
U. S. Court of Appeals VIII Hear AR.
cumeutS ON Monday


Chicago, June 1.-The United States
court Of appeals decided today that the
appeal of the labor organizations from
Judge Jenkens' order forbidding them
to quit work on the Northern Pacific
railroad will not go direct to the
United States Supreme court, as was
suggested by counsel for the COM
pany's receivers to the United States
court of appeals yesterday.
After thinking it over, Judges Harlan.
Woods and Bum decided they would
not certify the record in the case to
the supreme court, but would hear
arguments on the appeal themselves,
and also concluded to set the case
peremptorly for argument next Mon
day. This decision was announced this
afternoon by Judge Harlan. 1t is
probable that ex-senator j. c. Spooner
and the other counsel for the railroad
company will refuse to make argu-
ments before the court of appeals and
insist on the motion made by MIR. Miller
yesterday, that the case be stricken
from the dockets because Of non-com-
pliance with the rules of the court for
the time of fling the record in the APP
peal.
Counsel for the men will consent to
argue the case and will be ready to
proceed with their speeches on Monday.

THE vENETIAN GoNpoLA.

1t would be expected, of course, if our
predecessors the seutimentalists were to be
believed, that no way exists TO get about
in Venice except by gondola, says letter
to the Philadelphia Telegraph. This is
nowadays another terrible error. There
is no spot in Venice which cannot be
reached by dry land. There are now in
the city $50 to 500 bridges, and it is pos
sible to cross the canals on foot at al
most any point Those who do not wish
to do this can get in a steamboat and go
from one end of the Grand Canal to the
other. There are frequent stations the
boats run every four minutes and the
fare is only cents The gondoia has thus
been nearly driven out Of the business.
The residents of the city 90 about on
foot or in steamboat They have not time
to be laZily rowed from place to place
by a gondolier. 1t has come about, there
fore. that there are many fewer gondolas
in the service than formerly, and what
there are have less to do. Their chief
occupation is to transport visitors VINO
have only few days to stay and who
wish to tell their friends when they go
home that they have ridden in a gondola.
There is considerable business on moon
light nights, but in daytime very few
boats are in use.
The gondolier Is not the romantic person
that fancy paints him, either. He is very
ordinary Italian, poorly clothed beggar,
who always wants more money than his
legitimate fare, and talks about his pour
boire, or extra drink money, during nearly
the entire ride
