1t has not been usual thing In recent years
for English soldiers to meet defeat but twice
within the last few weeks British troops have
been led into ambush and slaughtered. 1t Is not
possible to doubt the courage of the Englishnan
under arms. He is brave soldier and skilful
fighter, and no one holds the honor Of his country
more dear to him; 80 that when troops are thus
twice trapped and massacred by barbarians, the
explanation seems to be that they have estimated
their enemy at too cheap price, and nave
placed too much confidence in modern arms and
equipment.

M'KANE'S IRREGULARITIES
Rhe Official Investigation Disoloses IIie-
pnl TRANSACTIONS.

NEW YORK, March H. = The first Of
fcial announcement of the amount of
bonds which John y. Mckane has failed
was made yesterday by the board Of audit
Of the town. Charles f., Overton, mem
Der OF the board, speaking for his asso-
ciatcs, said that he had gone over the en-
tire bond issue and found that McKane
had failed to report for Mt least $500, 900 of
the bonds, and had disposed of some of
them in an Illegal manner. The board has
made a demand upon the sons of the con-
victed man, George and James, for an ac-
counting of these missing bonds.
While the board of audit was holding
meeting ut police headquarters McKane's
friends were chasing about the Brooklyn
banks endenvoring TO trace the bonds and
money which Mckane's accounts gave no
clew TO the expenditure Of A message
was received from George ATcKane before
the board adjourned saying that he would
make Il report by Tuesday, but the time
was by courtesy extended till Thursday.
The missing bonds We're signed by Town
Treasurer Morris and countersigned by
Town Clerk Norllis, who are both deeply
interested in the present investigation.
Friends of Mcliaue declare that it makes
no difference what the outcome of the in
vestigation may he, as the estate of Me-
Kane is exhausted and the town must lose
the money.

THE PHILLlPSBuRG RIOTERS.


PHILLIPsBuRG, n j., March II. The
situation at the Standard silk mil remains
practically unchanged. Sheriff Swarts
swore in thirteen additional deputies,
making twenty in all.
Judgc Morrow, of Belvidere and Pros
ecutor Stryker, of Washington, n. j.,
were at the mill last night before the
operatives came out and addressed an an
CRY crowd numbering several thousand
people. The judge read the riot law to the
crowd, and told them that If any attempt
were made to modest any of the mill work
ers lie would commit The law breakers to
Jail. The speech had n quieting effect,
and, although there was some disorder, no
violence was offered when the deputy
sheriffs escorted the non-striking employees
to their homes.

FINANCE AND TRADE.
The Volume Of Business sI.a Per Cent
Less Than a Year Ago.

Less Than a Year Ago.
NEW YoRK, March l7.-R. @. Dun s.
Co IS weekly review of trade says The
volume of business represented by all
clearings this week is 312 per cent less
than Il year ago, and at all cities outside
of New York 2l.4 per cent. less against II 4
per cent last week Railroad earnings
make better comparison, falling but 6
per cent. below last years for the first
week of March, against 1877 per cent. In
February, but the gain is in part because
trunk lines have cut rates and secured, for
the first week in a long time, larger east
bound movement than was recorded a
year ago. The west bound movement is
also larger In dry goods and groceries.
Speculation In products Is somewhat
tame, though pork and lard have declined
sharply, while corn is held steadily, with
receipts 40 per cent larger than year ago
Wheat has been depressed by the depart
ment report that 100000 bushels re-
mained In farmers hands March /, indi-
eating very great increase in estimates Of
yield or else u heavy decrease in consump-
tion. Cotton has declined shade and
estimates of the crop are about 1900, 900
bales in place of 100000 solemnly re-
ported not long ago
The treasury has been improving its
condition, for while the customs revenue
this month has been 40 per cent less than
last year, there is some recent increase in
internal revenue through removal of spirits
from bond to avoid higher tax
There are 23l failures reported through
out the United States this week compared
with 233 last week, 22l year ago. 2Ig two
years ago and 10 for the week in 1891.
