ACTIVE FOR JULY.
Business the Past Week Han Been UnusuaI-
 ly Brisk.

ly Brisk.
 NEW YORK, July 13.-R. G. Dun & Co. s weekly review of trade says: A busi- ness flood so strong and rapid that con- servatives fear it may do harm is out of season in July. But the seasons this year lap over and crowd each other. May frosts and flights, it is now evil dent, kept back much business that would naturally have been finished be- fore midsummer, and the delayed ac- cumulation of one season gets in the way of efforts to begin another on time. But the volume of business, how ever, it may be assured, is remarka bly, large for the month, even in good year. The exaggerated fears about crops have passed, the syndicate is be- lieved both able and determined to pro- tect the treasury, and the time draws near when the marketing of new crops will turn into national balance if speculation does not hinder.
 The week has been notable for sensational fall in wheat of cents in two days, followed by recovery of 5 cents, though neither accords any in- depreciation of the quite disregarded government report. The sudden drop in prices was the result of speculative rather than commercial influences, though exports not half as large as last year,, ,O97, ,645 bushels flour in- cluded)-from Atlantic ports for two weeks of July against 4,927, ,915 bushels last year, had their effect, as we'll as western receipts of 1, ,937,474 bushels, against 2,l56,SlS bushels last year. This news indicates an enormous crop of corn, the largest grown, if the weather favors, but the price is only x cent lower than a week ago. Cot ton has not changed. though specula. tion still turns wholly on prospects, regardless of enormous stocks carried over.
 Wool is still advancing with enor- nous sales, 12,7i4, 900 for the week and in two weeks of July, 26, ,497, ,614 pounds, as against II ,9s6, $50 in the same weeks of 1899. As the sales are about four times the weekly consumption, it is expected that the market is essentially speculative, but the rise abroad has set the country ablaze so that western holders are asking even higher prices than heretofore. But buying by most manufacturers is already affected and at the prices now asked for wool some manufacturers are doubting whether a corresponding value for goods can be realized.
 The failures this week have been 253, against 247 last year.

CEN. DRAKE NoMlNAIEp.
Iowa Republicans hoose Their Candidate
 for Governor.

Iowa Republicans hOOse Their Candidate for Governor. DEs MONIES, la, July 1.-The Iowa republican state convention yesterday attracted more than usual attention on account of possibilities affecting the presidential boom of Iowa's favorite son, William B. Allison. The utter ances of the temporary chairman of the convention, Hon. Joseph R. Lane, of Davenport, were listened to with marked interest as an outline of the Allison idea as to the present political situation.
 There were 1,243 delegates to the convention, requiring 622 votes for a choice.
 An unexpected but highly dramstic and interesting feature occurred when Senator Allison came on the platform. There was pandemonium of cheering, to which Senator Allison responded with bow and was then seated.
 In the afternoon Chairman Young made a. brief speech, after which the convention then proceeded to a formal ballot for governor. The following is the result of the sixth ballot: Drake, S641a; Harlan, lS3 3-l4; Pnrrott, 231 4-14; Harsh, ?; Kamrar, ?; Ormsby, ?.
 With the announcement of the vote Chairman Young declared Gen. Drake the nominee of the convention for gov ernor.
 After prolonged cheering, balloting for lieutenant-governor was com menced. Matt Parrott. of Waterloo, was nominated on the third ballot, de- feating Lieut-Gov. Dungan, of Chari- ton, for reelection. In rapid success sion Henry Sabin was reelected for superintendent of public instructions; George W. Perkins for railroad com missioner and Josiah Given for judge of the supreme court.
 The resolutions, among other things deplore the revocation of reciprocity, denounce tariff for revenue only and declare for American wages. On cur rency the platform says:
 We affirm the declarations of the republican national platform of 1892, adopted at Minneap- olis, that the American people from tradition and interest, favor bimetallsm, and the republican party demands the use of both gold and silver as standard money with such restrictions and under such provisions to be determined by legislation as will secure the maintenance of the parity of the value of the two metals. that the purchasing and debt paying power of the dollar, whether of silver, gold or paper, shall be at all times equal. The interest of the pro- ducers of the country, it's farmers and work ingmen, demands that every dollar, paper or coin, issued by the government, shall be as good as any other"

 NEW YORK, July 1S.-A local paper says anent the visit of ex-President Harrison to New York and the Adiron- dacks: "It was reported in this city that ex-President Harrison had taken to the political woods, and that OK teams cannot drag him to the republican nomination for presi dent.

The Dedication of the Peru, Ia. Bank Cashier May Reach S2S,OOO.

The Dedication of the Peru, Ia. Bank
 Cashier May Reach S2S,OOO.
 DEs MONIES, Ia., July 13.-The defal. cation of C. D. Davis, manager of the Exchange bank of Peru is worse than supposed. Davis burned all private papers and many more referring to the business of the bank before leav. ing. Officers of the bank now admit he got away with SIG, 900 cash, and are not certain but it may be much greater. Some outsiders say the loss is S2s,0OO. It is also learned that he has been successful scoundrel for years, and one story is that he has been married three times. When he left Peru he said he was go- ing to be married, hence there was little suspicion for some time. There seems no hope of catching him.

FRENCH eARsARITY AT JAFFA.
Thousands of Prisoners Shot Down After
 the Surrender.

the Surrender.
 No French victory was ever marked by such unbridled license as that which lthe victorious troops practiced at Jaffa.
 But what followed was worse; for the lprisoncrs of war were too numerous for the ordinary usage. For some days lthey were treated according to the Ferns of quarter they had exacted. On
 he l7th council of war unanimously oted that the old rule under which no Quarter is given to defenders in an as- I 1lt should be applied to them. For ee days Bonaparte hesitated, but
 d the 2Oth his decision was taken. A " Egyptians were sent home, and
 ne remainder of the prisoners, to- lrether with the eight hundred militia from Fl Arish, were marched to the beach, and shot. In the report to the Directory the number was put at Twelve hundred. Two witnesses Estimated it-one at three thousand, the other at four thousand.
 'I have been severe with those of bour troops who violated the laws of war," wrote the author of the deed to pezzar. No mention of the fact or ex- kuse for it was made in any of his other Correspondence at the time. All winter bong he has been dealing as an Orient hl with Orientals, and this was but a piece of the same conduct. The code Pf Christian morality was far from his mind. In January, for instance, he bad ordered Murat to kill all the pris- pners of a hostile tribe in the desert,
 whom he could not bring away; and in the same month identical orders
 Eere issued to Berthier concerning an- other existing horde,
 The plea which is made by the eulo- gists of Napoleon, and by some recent military writers, for this wholesale ex- ecution, is that among these slasgh- fered men the garrison of Fl Arish,
 which had surrendered, had been found again with arms in their hands; that they were deserving of desth &C., eording to all the laws of war; and khat, as to the rest, there were no French prisoners for whom to exchange khem, and no provisions to support khcm, consequently their presence
 Tith the army would jeopardize its Pnccess, and it was therefore justifiab ble to diminish the enemy's resisting
 bower by their execution. Those who
 believe that war, whether just or un- bust, justifies any barbarity which will lead to speedy victory will agree with that opinion. Prof. w. NJ. Sloane, in Century.
