II appears that Jack Dempsey has now
reached a point where he himself must
choose between life and death and l
understand he has taken the former alter
native. His physicians have told him
point blank that ne has got to give up
drinking or die in few months, a mental
as well as physical wreck. A Philadel-
phia correspondent tells me that Dempsey
has been seen sober for four consecutive
days In that city, and that he intends to
start for Portland, Ore, in a short time,
there to try TO regain his fast falling
powers. While he will never again,
in my opinion, be great pugilist,
he has chance to live a good many
years II be takes quick, sharp turn. He
would still have his great skill, which he
could turn to good account as instructor
in some prominent club. Here's hoping
that the Nonpareil may live down his
foolish past.

FINANCE AND TRADE.
enfldepoo Takes the Throne So Long Held
by Dlstrust.


NEW YORK, April 27.-R G. Dun & Co. Is
weekly review of trade says: Neither the
rise In speculative markets nor the steady
gain in industries has ceased, and It is
wholesome that there are fewer signs Of
hesitation in the productive industries
than in speculative prices. Wages strikes
grow more numerous and cause some
trouble and retail demand lags behind
wholesale sales and jobbing purchases he
hind production In some branches, but
through many conflicting reports the fact
shines out that the industries are gaining
not with rush and whirl, but more
safely.
1t is less clear that railroads are incrcas-
ing their earnings. or that over production
OF cotton will be cured by the advance of
1Sc. in price, or that cornering short sell
ers OF wheat will help to market the large
surplus. But revival OF activity in all
these directions, If possibly excessive in
some, helps confidence to take the throne
SO long held by distrust.
The failures for the week have been $50
in the United States, against 179 for the
same week last year, and 81 in Canada
against % last year.
Bradstreet's review says: The features
OF the week is the continued strength of
prices of staples after the striking advan-
oes of preceding weeks. There is flrmer
undertone In nearly all lines of trade, but
at a number Of points gains in industrial
are more marked than In commercial
lines. There is moderate activity in the
market for wool, and cotton goods are firm
on the advance in cotton and higher wages

PHILADELPHIA, April 81. = Assistant
United States Treasurer Bigler had sub
mltted to him by William Burnside, a
Pittsburg scale expert, novel mechanical
device. The new device consists OF an ar
rangement of scales at the bottom of the
bin, which will register accurately the
weight of the contents of the entire bin,
and is SO graduated that it will indicate
the removal of tho smallest amount of
coin. The quantity Of coin placed in and
removed from the bins each day will be
registered with exactness, and electrical
attachments give immediate warning of
any attempt to talnper with the delicate
mechanism of the scales. Assistant Treas.
urer Bigler says that thefts like those car.
ried on by ex-Weigher Cochran in the
Philadelphia mint would be impossible
with such safeguards.

THE NICARAGUA affair."
No Direct News from the Scene Of
the Trouble.
BRITISH DEMANDS NOT MODIFIED.

1t Is believed That Great BritaIn's Naval
Force Has Already Taken Possession of
tho Custom, Houses, Although Nicaragua
Has Not Yielded without Protest.
WASHINGTON, April 27.-Up to a late
hour DIR. Guzman, the Nicaraguan minis
ter, has not received any dispatches from
his government indicating what IL any
thing, has transpired in connection with
the British ultimatum.
A difference of opinion exists in diplo'
matte circles as to the precise time ut
which the ultimRtum expires, some per-
sons holding to the belief that 1t expired
Thursday midnight, while Others contend
that Friday midnight marks the limit.
From the cables heretofore received by
DR.. Guzman he Is of the opinion that the
limit Of time was up at midnight on
Thursday, but in the absence of any later
news he thinks that some additional time
probably twenty-four hours-has been
granted to Nicaragua within which to
make answer. He is, however, In the dark
as to what really has occurred
The minister seems to believe the mat
ter will be settled, but In what manner
and in what terms he does not advance an

LONDON, April 27.-In well informed
English quarters here 1t Is declared that
TO British ultimatum to Nicaragua has
not been modified, that Admiral Stephen
son has not been cahled to extend the tint
granted Nicaragua within which to pay

DE CAMPOS IN HAVANA.
The New Captain General Given
an Affectionate Welcome.
THE REBELLION WILL BE CRUSHED.

No Cessation of Hostiiities Until the Re-
volt Is Wholly subdued-The Commander
VIII Enforce Strict Obedience and HUI
nnano Treatment of All Prisoners.
HAVANA, April ga reception to Cap
tain General de Campos was given at the
palace yesterday. General Arderius,
brother-in-law of Marshal de Campos,
gave the new captain general an affection
ate welcome in the name Of the army, the
volunteers, the militia and the firemen.
He reiterated in strong terms the adhesion
to the captain general Of those whose motto
is discipline and love OF nation and king.
In reply Marshal de Campos said he
know the difficulties with which he had
to contend, but declared that the insur-
rection would soon be brought to an end.
He stated that operations against the
rebels would not be suspended under any
circumstances. He had given strict or
ders to the several columns of government
troops that they were not to retire before
the rebels unless the latter should be in
strongly superior force and oblige them to
do SO. He would reward those who per-
formed meritorious actions but he would
demand the exact fulflllment of duty, and
those who did not do their duty would
be punished.
Continuing Marshal de Campos de-
clared that he had come to carry on the
war Us humanely as possibly. He had
given strict orders that non combatants
and their families must be treated with
respect, and Furthermore that the prison
srs and wounded must DO treated kindly,
Outrages upon women and other immoral
actions would meet with speedy and Sc
we're retribution. He did not want any
one to ever be able to say that he had con
sented to such actions. In Spain 1t was
hoped that all the loyal people of Cuba
would support each other and himself in
order that the instruction should be
speedily quelied His only desire was to
bring about peace in helsland.
The press and all the political parties
manifest great confidence In the elevated
spirit in which Marshal de Campos is car
rying out his delicate mission.

to the recent burning of his stock barn.
and that he collected insurance money on
some blooded horses, grain and harness
that were not burned, but were used by
him after the fire. 1t is the theory Of the
defense that the murder was committed
by man employed by the old man, who
set fire to the barn, and that the differ
ences between them arose over his refusal
to divide the insurance money. A witness
was introduced who positively made an
Alibi for the accused young man.
