THE BUSINESS WORLD,
Labor Troubles the Only Serious Menace
to Trade Recovery.

NEW YORK, April 20.-Bradstreets to-
morrow will say With the exception of
the prospect for a further extension of
strikes and other labor disturbances, no
plainly rctarding influence is manifeSting
itself in the business world. The new holi-
day results in falling off in volume of
trade in Massachusetts and in Chicago and
other important western cities, merchants
are making smaller demands for bank
accommodations than expected
SO far as learned there are about % adj
ditional strikes, involving 900 people.
This brings the total number of those now
on strike or idle because of strikes up to 60, -
ODO. The week also furnishes II shut
downs of important industrial establish
ments, more than offset by assumptions at
30 others, which furnish employment to
), 900 operatives. although seven important
establishments announce reductions of
wages.
The announc ement that POO, 600 coal
miners will strike to-day has OCcasioned IN
easness among manufacturers at central
weitern and western cities owing to the
prospective scarcity of fuel. Cities along
the line of the Great Northern Railroad
which road is now at a standstill because of
a strike of employees, are finding their re-
duced volumes of business still further cur
tailed, and at Chicago labor troubles ser
iously affect the building trades.
Tho tendency of prices of staples has been
upward in most instances, notably in bread
stuff, and produce, leather, iron and steel,
rice, corn, oats, pork and lard, while the
reverse is true as to prices Of hogs, wheat
and sugar Cotton quotations remained
practically unchanged.

DEPeW ON THE PRESIDENCY.
Does Not Deny That He Will BE a Candi
date in 1896.

CHICAGO, April 17--'Do | want TO be
president? Why, certainly; but | have not
as yet become candidate for the nomna-
ton, said Chauncey NJ, Depew as he saunt-
cred up and down the platform alongside
his private car in the Lake Shore depot.
Then Mr.. Depew went on to explain that
the st. Louis reporter had misunderstood a
pleasantly for serious statement when he
wrote out the interview to the effect that
Mr.. Depew was an avowed seeker for the
peoples greatest gift.
THE candidate who begins running thus
early will lose his breath before 1896 con
tinued Mr.. Depew, land should he obtain
big lead he would find all other candidates
conspirng against him"
We'll, who are the most likely candi-
dates -
'Hold tho convention right now and the
nomination would lie between Mckinley and
Reed, but it can't be said what two years
may bring forth in the way of eigibes.
There is a precedent for Gen. Harrison's re
election. Mr.. Cleveland was retired and
came in again. Why shouldn't he do so (?
He is n strong man and pure man, and
the policies he espoused during the clos
ing months Of his notably
Hawaiian annexation-have become over
NuelllluBy popular. DcSlucS, ulluer mar
rison times were prosperous; under his sue
cessor they are distressingly bad. Might
not the people desire to change back again /?
But it is too early to talk of candidates. -
"Then you may enter the race later on,
Mr.. Depew p
"You can't tell what two years may
bring FORTH" he replied with a laugh
which might be taken to indicate either the
probability or improbability of his candi-
dacy. "The democratic tariff policy ?
Well, none of us know what it is now, or
what it is likely to be- The debates and
discussions of the much divided demo-
cratic party remind me of a story;
Once two men started out in a Yankee
schooner on fishing trip, and to begin with
they cast lots to decide which should be cap
tain and which should be crew. The fellow
who won took his place at the tiller and or
dered the crew forward to manage the jib
sheet. By and by the captain thought
things looked squally, and shouted to the
crew to shift the jib sheet. I'm managing
things up here, shouted back the crew. as
he consigned the captain to a warmer cline.
You tend to your own business Before
! long the schooner went on the rocks and
was smashed to pieces. That's the way it is
with the democratic tariff craft. Captain
Cleveland cant manage the crew."

a great majority of the people in the City
Hall Thursday evening got an inkling for
the first time in their lives of how it seemed
to be in burning building. While there
was no danger of anything but the one
booth burning until some one foolishly open
ell n window that fact did not prevent
number from rushing to the door and down
stairs in such a manner that it seemed
strange no one was injured, BY the
time this crowd had reached the
street the blaze was over and there
was another rush by those whom
the alarm of fire had drawn to the scene.
The ticket seller very properly shut the gate
and firmly declined to open it, in spite of
some dire threats. The blaze lasted only a
few seconds, but during that time one wo-
man rushed to a window with her child and
might have thrown him to the stone pave
mont two stories below, had not hystanders
interfered. The candles in the booth were
lighted against the advice of many. The
greatest loss was occasioned by the burning
of two fur rugs and by the breaking of
some cut glass pendants, which represented
iciCles in the winter scene. The insurance.
amounting to 1910 was paid yesterday.

The true story of the broken engagement
of marriage between Odette Tyler, the act
ress, and Howard Gould may never be
known, but if the reason given by the
friends of the woman be correct she
has shown character not usually
attributed to members of her profession
1t is alleged that the objection originated
with Helen Gould, who was shocked at the
notion of a divorced woman. whose first
husband was living, being received into the
Gould family. This settled the matter in
stantly. Miss Tyler was granted a divorce
from her first husband on her own petition,
tine ground being abandonment and no
shadow of a cloud has ever rested on her
name on account of the divorce The mo-
ment this ground of objection was mention
ed, she released Mr.. Gould from his engage
ment, and insisted on his accepting the re
lease. She would not consent, She said to
enter family who could harbor such unjust
thoughts against her. She wanted to re
tain the friendship of Mr. Gould, which she
priced highly. but she would not marry
him. Howard Gould was taken completely
by surprise by this announcement, and
when Miss Tyler emphasized it by drawing
the engagement ring from her finger and
placing it in his hands he was simply be-
wldered. He tried to argue with Miss Ty-
Ter, but his words fell on obstinate ears
The result was that he left the house with
his $500 ring in his pocket, and Miss TYLER
prepared herself to return to her work ON
the stage and resign the bright prospect of
a happy domestic life, of which she had been
dreaming 50 fondly
