IN THE WORLD OF BUSINESS
ENCOURAGING SIGNS OF I'M
PROVEAIENT REPORTED BY
DUN AND BRADSTREET.
TONE OF THE DRY GOODS MAR
KET IMPROVED.
Stocks of Retail Dealers are Light-The
Restricted Supply of Cattle Has
Caused a Rise in Meats
and Leather.

New York, March 29.-Bradstreets
tomorrow will say:
General trade for the third week in sue
,ceseion, continues to show evidences OF
Improvement. In no other direction ID
this 80 plainly indicated as in the ten
cdency of prices. A week ago encourage
sment had been obtained from generally
unexpected advance in cotton and wheat.
Following their slight reaction the week
has witnessed firm cotton market, fur
Their improvement in wheat with sym
pathetic improvement in corn, and Tor
bessemer, pig iron, for steel billets and
actually for manufactured iron at West
ern markets. Higher quotations for cut
meats West are the outcome Of the re-
stricted supplies Of cattle and this is be-
hind the increased demand Tor shoes Tor
fall delivery, as quotations for leather con-
tinued upward on the comparative scar
city of hides.
Eirmness in cotton and the late ad-
vance has shown itself in higher quota
lions, not only for print cloths, but other
varieties of dress goods. Increased de-
mand for petroleum on reports for reduced
output have pushed prices up, and higher
prices for hides ut the West have brought
like quotations for pork and lard. In adj
dition, advances are reported on butter
and eggs. Such list of increased pro-
ducts within week tells its own story.
Among the staples that are held iirmer
and unchanged in prices are wool, cotton,
sugar. coffee, leaf tobacco, rice, lum-
Der and millinery.
As important as any other inf0rmn-
ton bearing on the condition of lrude
are the reports from Minnesota, South
Dakota, Nebraska and Iowa that the
soil Is greatly in need of more moisture,
which, with the unseasohably warm and
dry weather, promises retricted area Of
wheat, particularly in South Dakota. To
some extent these conditions prevail i'll
Kansas, where summer heat is reported.
The better feeling in general trade cir
cles, as characterized by reports from
d number of cities, has become more " de
spread and even where no actual use in
the movement of staples has been re-
corded, increased confidence In better
demand is marked.
Exports of wheat, including flour as
wheat, from both coasts this week are
smaller than for four preceding " 'eLs,
2,256,000 bushels. This total, as cOIp-
pared with exports of practically 3.000,-
900 bushels last week, 100000 bushels
in the week one year ago, 2,475,000 bush
els two years ago, 2,597 900 bushels
three years ago and 2,164,000 bushels
in the fourth week of March, 1891.
At Toronto business is unchanged, he
ing CHARACTERIZED by only fair demand
FOR sorting up goods.

REPUBLICAN CALL.
The Next Annual Meeting Of the League
VIII be Held June 10.

Chicago, March 31.-President Tracey
and Secretary Humphrey of the Republi-
can National league today presented the
following call for the next annual conven-
ton of the league:
TO the Republican State league clubs
and all Republicans-In compliance with
a provision of the constitution of the
Republican National league establishing
a national convention, and in accordance
with the instructions of the last national
convention at Denver, the eighth annual
convention of the Republican league is
hereby called to meet in the city of Cleve-
land, o., June 10, 1895, and continue
it's session until its business is completed.
1t is proposed to take three days for this
convention, 50 there may be ample time
for n full discussion of matters of spe-
cial interest to the party at this time.
We fix the ratio of our representation at
four from each congressional district and
one from each Republican league in the
United States duly represented in the
Republican college league convention at
Grand Rapids, Mich, April 5, 1898.
The following are eX-Otlicio delegates:
The president and one executive member
of the national organization from each
State and Territory and the president
and secretary for each State and Terri
tory. The total representation will eX-
coed lUO delegates.
The business of the meeting will in
clude n return of officers, vice presidents
and the member of the executive commit
tee for the ensuing year, the designation
of place and time for the next league
convention, party policies and organization
The formation of a plan of campaign,
with special reference to the presidential
year and n consideration of such other
questions as the Republicans may deem
proper.
The call charges the Democratic admin
istration with creating distrust, general
paralysis in business and driving capital
Streets reducing the revenues of the gov
eminent and increasing its bonded indebt-
edness. With this object of correcting
this evil condition the Republicans are
called upon for campaign Of "organiza-
ton and education" in 1896.

FOR COLORED BOYS.
ST. Elmo Industrial School Will be Opened
About May.

Philadelphia, March 31.-"Belmead,"
the famous Virginia country place on the
James river at Rock Castle, Powhattan
county, which Mrs. Ward Morrell of this
city rescued from decay and converted
it into the ST. Elmo industrial school for
colorcd boys, will be formally opened
about May 1. Brother Anatole, who
so successfully conducted the affairs of
the school of St. Francis mt Edentown,
Pa, has taken up his residence at BEL
mead" and devotcs himself to making
the work of this great enterprise for the
the uplifting of the colored race a sue
cess. The plan of the institution is Il sim
pie one. 1t has met with the cordial
commentator of Southern women who
have been made acquainted with it for
the reason that it gives colOred boys n
simple education in harmony with their
station in life and training in every day
useful trades, namely: Farming, car
pentering, blacksmithing. plumbing, brick
laying, the handling of steam engines
and the management of grist, saw and
planning mills. Mechanical architectural
drawing will also be taught in so far as
needful for the trades in which instruc-
ton is given.
The prospectus is very clear. AS the
school is intended for the colored youth of
the South, no boy will be taken who lives
in any State north of Maryland; each
boy will be required to put in six months
on probation in farm or other work in the
institutions; the applicants must have re-
spectacle parents or guardians and must
be of good physical health and certifl-
cate to that effect from physician will
be required; two citizens of the vicinity
from which the applicant comes must
endorse the application supporting the
general character of the boy; each appli-
cant must be at least 10 years old. The
course is four years, and the pupils are
to be indentured to the managers of the
school for that time. The school is thor
oughly American and non-sectarian.
though for the sake of uniformity all
pupils must comply externally with the
regular religious exercises of the institu-
ton. After the pupils have finished their
course at this school they are not TO go
to the cities, but are to be induced to re
turn to their original home, there to
become by their work the concentres for
the dissemination of useful principles and
practices. There are 100 acres in the
Belmead plantation, all devoted to the
school purposes. The buildings are
equipped with the latest appliances.

AN EDITOR,S ACT.

Buda Pesth, April 2.-An attempt was
made last night to blow up the Hentz
monument, erected to the memory of the
Austrian general, Hentz, and AIS sol
dicrs who fell while defending the forts
against the Hungarians. The monu-
mcnt is a gothic column in bronze, Is
feet high, rising over a group of the dying
heroes crowned by victory. A well
dressed man was seen to deposit parcel
to which was attached lighted fuse near
the monument. A tremendous explosion
followed, SCATTERING the windows Of Arch
Duke Joseph's palace, the armory and
other buildings in the vicinity. The mon
ument, however, was not injured. The
author of the attempt to blow up the mon
ument was the editor of weekly paper,
the Olwasd. He had previously been i'm
prisoned, after having been convicted Of
les majestic. He has been taken into Gus
tody.

Special Correspondence.
Among the other prominent statesmen
and representative men who nave OK
pressed themselves on the possible &C
ouisition of Cuba by this country is Sen
ator Proctor of Vermont who is quoted
as follows:
81 do not agree with those of my col
leagues in the senate who court trouble in
Cuba in the hope that we may have an
opportunity to annex the island. The
character of part of the population of
Cuba is such that l should not consider
it desirable as state of the Union, as
it would necessarily become if annexed.
1 consider Cuba of vast Importance 10
this country commercially, but prefer that
it should remain as it is or be an indie
pendent State to its becoming part of
the United Salts. I an for the CONNER
cial annexation, but not for territorial
annexation. We can accomplish that
result without war of conquest and
without purchasing the island, simply
by reviving the policy of reciprocity. We
made immense strides in our commerce
with that country under the reciprocity
clause of the Mckinley law and had q
trade of vast proportions with the island
when the law was repealed. All that
is changed now and our Cuban trade is OF
comparatively little consequence. 1t is an
object lesson which the people of this
country should study with care"
lie was of the further opinion that the
Republican party would take the first
opportunity to revive the policy of reel
prOcity, but said he did not know whether
the effort would be made in the next con
gress, owing, he thought, to the proba
bility of veto of any reciprocity meas
ure which might be enacted by congress

We are of the opinion that it did not.
Where the terms of purchase are for
cash, or where no specific terms are hxed
upon beforehand, il has been held that the

$3.50 In such cases it is consistently held
that the privilege to purchase is not per.
sonal, for the reason that the exercise OF
no new contractnal relations are created
in the case of cash payment, end, IN the
cases where no specific terms are hxed,
the owner of the land can require the
payment to be made in cash if he does not
choose to grant credit.
But rights arising out of contract can
not be transferred if they involve rela-
ton of personal confidence, such that the
party whose Argument conferred those
rights must have intended them to be
exercised only by him in whom he ac-

The usual little game of poker was
running at Schweinma gen's and the
players were all betting very freely.
An unusually large jackpot was in the
center of the table and as the cards
were being dealt Schweinmagen re-
marked:
well. shentlemans. guess win dis
bot"
1t was duly opened and there was a
raise or two all the way around.
Schweinmagen drew one card, another
player drew two and two stood pat.
The betting was brisk and every time
1t came around to Schweinmagen he
raised. Suddenly his 4-year-old boy ex-
claimed:
"oh. look! Papas got four cards all

of the other players would call his Ia st

stairs. He returned In five minutes, red

the remark:

Half an hour later. when all were
trying to win a big pot. Schweinmag-

DEATH AT THE ALTA.
Malcolm Morrison Instantly Killed by the
Explosion of Powder.


A report came in from wickes last
evening that Malcolm NJ. Morrison was
instantly killed by an explosion of pow
der in the Alta mine. two miles from
W1ickes, about 4:30 O'Clock Saturday
morning Morrison and his partner had
been working in the mine and had pre-
pared holes for the charge. While his
partner waited, Morrison went after
the charge and started back with it..
He had about 20 pounds of powder.
together with caps and fuse. He was
in winZe and had nearly reached his
panther when, in some manner which
will never be known, the powder was
discharged. His partner and others
heard the explosion and hurried TO the
scene to find only the horribly mutilat-
ed and mangled body of Morrison.
Just how the accident happened no
one knows, as no one saw Vt. and 1t is
difficult to imagine how it could have
happened. Not a breath of life was
left, although the men reached the
scene only a minute or two after the ac-
cident. Morrison was very steady,
hard worker, of excellent habits, and
was wen known about Wickes, as well
as in other paris of Montana. He had
worked in and about Wickes for about
four years. He was 80 years of age.
The Alta mine was shut down until af-
ter the funeral shall be held.

much of her time to other men. or De-
cause she objected to any man having
any strings on her or possibly for some
other reason, she and her husband
spent most of their time when together
in fighting, and life soon lost goou
many of its charms. The young woman
went over to Fhihpsburg a few weeks
ago for a change, and when she re-
turned, a short time ago, the quarrel
ing was renewed. They had another

way to recovery. She continued to i'm

doctor first questioned her. that she
could not remember anything that hap

admitted that she had taken the poison
on account of having had trouble with
