washington. March 22-The inclem-
ent weather e. the past winter has had
p serious effect on the trunk Of the
large seouoi. or California red wood
tree that was such a great attraction
nj the Worlds Fair. and was after
words brought to washington and set
mn I'm the grounds OF the Agricultural
Denartment. Large portions of the
bark Of the tree have fallen off as a
result of the exposure to the rain and
frosts. Workmen are now engaged in
~onlacfng these pieces, holding them in
Mace by Wrapping wire tightly around
he tree. and when this is completed,
,- r-,brella-like covering Will be
erected over the top OF the trunk, sufi-
Ciont to keep the rain from dropping
down the sides. The trunk is about
g9 feet in height and probably half as
fbick. 1t was originally contemplate
e6 constructing spiral stairway
orornd the interior walls, but this
idea has since been abandoned.

DUN &CO'S REVIEW OF TRADE.

New York. March 22.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade, which
! issues tomorrow, will say:
Indications of improvement in bus
mess grow more distinct. The most
obtrusive of them. speculative, ad-
vance i'm cotton and stocks is the least
reliable, nor can either OF these be
said to reflect actual Improvement IN
business conditions. Railroad earn
I ings are scarcely better, and the spec
ulatiOn is largely based on expectation
of more effective monopoly in coal and
some other product lines. London
was buying largely, but as likely to
sell on anv rise. Cotton does not rise
because there is more demand for
goods because cotton is dearer.
The rise in wheat, which started
with the report of wheat in farmers
hands. has been followed by reaction,
so that the prices are lower than they
were prior to that report, having fall
en- ~, cents for the week. Western
receipts, 19SS,2it bushels, against
I .G33.381 bushels last year, and for
three weeks were practically equal to
last years.
Corn has not followed, but after a
rise to 515s cents. holds the price of a
week ago. receipts being about a third
of last years and exports insigniti-
can't
Pork has declined % cents per bar
rel and lard 10 cents per 100 pounds.
The advance in wages Of coke work
ers raises the cost for fuel for a large
proportion of the iron manufacturers,
but as vet does not effect prices of
iron or its products, as no increase in
demand appears. Possibly it is hoped
that larger buying will soon be
prompted by the idea that pig and all
products will be rendered more costly,
though the large excess OF production
and producing capacity stand in the
wav. One sale of 10000 tons steel
rails. one cast pipe contract for 5000
tons. a bridge and five building con-
tracts aggregating nearly 5000 tons,
are reported this week, but pig iron is
weak without change both at the east
and at Pittsburg.
Conner continues weaker at 9.2oc
for lake. American production in Feb
ruarv being 1920 tons and foreign
e -3g. while tin has risen sharply TO
1873 cents. Lead is weaker with heavy
sales. $500 tons to domestic and 1,oOO
to foreign takers at 3.05 to 81 cents.
The failures during the past week
have been 21S in The United States,
against 244 last year and 80 IN cana
da. against 80 last year.

Judge A. l.. Montgomery, OF the
Fourth Kentucky district a member
Of the Committee on Ways and Means,
and one of the three men who on the
part OF the House conducted the con-
ference with the Senate on the tariff
bill on the long session Of the last
Congress. expressed the opinion to-
day that the Republicans would at
tempt very little. If any. tariff legisla-
ton during the next Congress.
"They are, ne said, already max
ing the plea that they won't have q
majority i'm the Senate, evidently for
the purpose OF eXcUsing themselves to
their constituents. All the signs, in
deed, indicate that the greater part Of
the time viii be taken up with criti-
cisms of the work OF the Congress
which has just closed without serious
~ any improvement and possibly,
with getting through some ma6eshift
on the financial question. The chances
are good, however, that they Will find
themselves as incapable Of reaching
an agreement on silver as we were.
OF course they will have such a vast
majority in the House that they may
get something through that body, but
they will not succeed in the Senate.
In that respect. also, the Republicans
will probably be as we We're. We got
everything through the House that we
tried 10 get through until after the No
Yember election demOraliZed us, but
we found our difficulty with the SEN
ate. We were unable to do much in
that body because there was never a
tariff reform majority in the Senate
Asked if ne thought the Democrats
when they should return TO power
would attempt 20 correct the tarili law
to correspond with the ideas advanced
BY the House I'm the supplementary
tariff bills, he replied i'm the atfirma-
tive. and added that there were also
other changes than those which should
be made, as Tor instance. in the metal
schedule, which he denounced as
grossly unfair, and i'm the wooden
schedule, which should be toned down
somewhat. AS a whole, however, he
thinks the present law vast i'm
provement over the Mckinley law, and
expresses the belle, that The people
will see this and acknowledge it when
times improve in q way TO permit them
10 consider the matter without preju-
dice.

Chicago. March 22.-The Record
says: Chicago is to be the National
political centre next year, and silver
will be the dominant issue in the next
Presidential campaign"
This straightforward statement was
made by a man who is recognized as a
leading factor of the silver propaganda
and it was conceded by q number OF
local financial men to be the only log
zeal conclusion which could be drawn
from a series Of suggestive recent
events.
a plan Of campaign has been laid
out which will bring the headquarters
of the silver propaganda from Denver
10 Chicago, and already the boast rs
made that Silver will split the Demo-
cratic and Republican parties, and the
Allegheny mountains next year will be
the great divide which Will separate
the yellow Atlantic coast from the
white Mississippi valley and Pacific
coast"
This plan contempl8tes an arbitrary
demand on both National conventions
for it is said that the silver men OF
both parties have arrived at perfect
understanding in the matter, that q
plank Of free silver coinage at a ratio
of 10 10 l. independent of other com
mercial nations. must be placed in
the platforms of their respective par
ties. According to their plan, should
either or both conventions refuse TO be
dictated 10 by the aggressive stlverites
the silver delegates will withdraw.
and an independent silver party will
be formed with it's headquarters in Chi
cagO. The first choice for the leader OF
this political enterprise is Congress
man j. S. Siblev, of pennsylvania
Democrat. Second choice falls upon
II. II. Bland, Of Missouri. a Democrat,
w. J. Bryan, of Nebraska, Demo
crat: Senator II. NJ Teller. Of Colorado.
a Republican. and Senator John B..
Jones. Of Nevada. e. Republican. II is
taken for granted by the silver men
that organized labor and the people
will continue with them to form the
silver party, and they have accepted a
willingness to accept governmental
control of transportation, provided
that this is made q subordinate issue
to free silver. An organized move
ment for the purpose of sending silver
delegates TO the National conventions
i'm the Northwestern States is Well
under way.
