down across the left eye and the ball
severed, almost. The cash extended
down the cheek and cut a deep furrow.
The man who used the knife escaped
and his name is not known. Bampfield
and Dodge escaped with trivial in
juries. Hamilton has another wound
on the hit side OF the head. His in

will lose the sight OF mis- left eye and
his face will be awfully disfgured.

DVN'S REVIEW OF TRADE.
The Industries Make Very Slow Gains
Where They Make Any-No Essential
Change in the Money Market.

'ninHC III 1Ilt hDnCy N'uthSt.
BY the United Press,
New York. March 1.--.R. G.. Dun &,
Co.'S weekly review Of trade tomorrow
will say:
No gold goes out, though sterling ex-
change has risen close to the export
irg point. and 1t does not appear that
the syndicate has yet made any effort
to cCltrol the exchange market. Lon
don has sold about 10000 shares Of stock
during the week, and the market is
distinctly lower for railroad shares.
though n shade stronger for trusts.
The stock market waits abjectly for
London. and foreigners show thus far
more disposition to sell than to buy.
Withdrawals of gold by redemption of
legal tenders have not ceased, but since
the closing of the syndicate contract
have averaged about $12OO00 per day.
There Is no essential change in the
money market, though rates are some
what higher. Agriculture products are
a shade higher, but without any reason
which looks to future operations.
More people are idle I'm the great in
dustres than were idle last week but
not for reasons which distinctly affect
the future. The Industries make very
slow gains where they make any. Lit
tie Is said of the stoppage of the Edgar
Thomson steel works, though many
thousand hands depend on It's opera
tions because the Carnegie company
has purchased $4,000 tons Bessemer pig
at S9.o5 to $1,000 at Pittsburg. a price
indicating that the biggest concern In
western Pennsylvania does not want
to make iron for less.
The failures for the week have been

Washington, March 1.-The general
deficiency bill-the last but one of the
thirteen great appropriation bills which
congress has to pass every session
occupied the attention of the senate
today and was passed this evening
There was but one important amend
ment reported to ii from the committee
on appropriations, and that was one
appropriating $lS09, $50 to pay a judg-
ment in favor of the Southern Pacific
Railroad company for government
transportation. This item provoked
very strong opposition, and would
probably have experienced the fate
which has overtaken it every session
| for many years back had it not been
accidentally fortified by an amendment
to it for the payment Of about one-half
the judgments of the court of claims
under the French spoliation act, and
under what is known as the Bowman
act. This proposition covering about
$9OO,OOO) had been carried and attached
to the other; and then the amendment
| as thus amended was carried by the
vote of 81 to a.
demnity fund came up in the shape of
an amendment offered by Mr.. Cockrell
to the deficiency bill apprOpriating $780,
900 for the expenses of arbitration as
to the indemnity That was antagon-
lied by Mr., Sherman, Ohio, as an un-
wise proposition, which would result in
much larger cost to the government
and in weakening the principle of in
ternational arbitration. lie offered q
substitute for ito pay $425.0O0, which
was agreed upon by the secretary of
state. Mr.. Morgan, Alabama, who had
been a delegate to the original Behring
sea conference at Paris, declared that
such payment would be disgraceful to
the administration and to the people of
the United States. Mr.. Cockrell, in or
der to avoid a long discussion, with
drew the amendment. and Mr.. Sher-
| mans substitute fell with it. And so
| the deficiency bill contains no item on
the subject of the Behring sea indemn-
ity. The deficiency bill was passed at
730.
After the passage of the deficiency
bill the remainder of the nights session
was given to private pension bills and
