signs more EnCOur0G1n&.
New York special: r. &. Dun's Weekly
Review of Trade will say:
Signs Of improvement are all the more
satisfactory because neither accompanied
nor apparently produced by a speculative
craze. Dealings in stocks, cotton and
wheat are not diverting all the interest
and capital from productive industry and
and legitimate trade, though these pro-
ducts are all a shade stronger, but railroad
earnings, bank clearings and industrial in
dicatiOnS are more encouraging this week.
II Is a remarkable feature that the lifting
this year begins at the bottom, so to speak.
Raw materials are raised before there is
any larger demand for their finished pro-
duct, a thing not often done with success.
Hides rose, then leather, h shoes; cot
ton rose, and afterwards some common
goods; coke was advanced, and afterwards
Bessemer pig. In all these cases it is rca-
soned that the larger de nand for con-
sumption, thsugh yet wanting, must come
when it is seen that prices are going up.
Guesses about the condition Of wheat
have varied widely this week, and prices
are not much higher, the net advance be-
ing ~ cents. Atlantic exports, -four in
cluded have been 1891 ,Osl bushels, against
LAC, 6l3 bushels last year, and for the
month ssh, 70S bushels, against $780, A
last year, and meanwhile western receipts
for the month have been 7,474,3 1891 bushels,
against 1854 ,513 last year. Corn is a cent
lower, while pork is Is cents per barrel
and lard and hogs Is cents per 100 pounds
higher.
The failures this week have been pa in
the United States, against 2SS last year,
and AZ in Canada, against 80 last year, but
the recent increase indicates past rather
than recent conditions of ~unsOundness.

WINNEBAGO LAND CASE,
Can Lease Directly from Indians
with the Governments Consent.

with the Governments Consent.
Washington special: The question of
the irregular leases of the WinnebagO and
Omaha Indians has bothered the Interior
Department for several years and the evic-
ton proceedings are taken under the deci-
sion of the Circuit Court of Appeals OF St.
Louis last December declaring the con-
tracts with the F%lOurney Live Stock
and Real OEstatc Company are void.
The Indians, it is known officially,
have been deluded by the neigh
boring whites in the belief that
they have the full rights of citizenship and
that the contracts would not require Off
cial approval. With this policy they have
been generally worsted in their transac-
tons with the whites, and appeals have
been made for compensation. No trouble
is anticipated, as the farmers to whom the
company has sublet the lands, can set
aside their contracts and lease dirdctly
from the Indians, with the approval of the
department. 1t is probable that the COM
pany Will appeal, but steps have been
taken by the Government to secure an in
junction to restrain the company from in,
terfering with the leases.

EX.CONSUL WALKERS CASE.
Sta>c Department Has Had No Con.

Statc Department Has HAD NO COn.
firmntion of His imprisonment.
Washington special: 1t was said at the
White House that the telegram from Gov.
Morrill,, of Kansas, urging the President to
take active measures at once for the pro-
lection and release of ex-United States
Consul Waller, reported to have been UNI
justly imprisoned by the French Govern
ment in Madagascar under the sentence OF
a court martial, had not yet been received
by the President. The State Department
has no confirmation of the report from the
United States Consul at Tamatave nor
the nearest cable point in Madagascar. 1t
is probable that the Governors message
may cause the State Department to cable
the United States ConSuls for an account
of the affair instead of waiting for infor-
nation to come to hand through the mails
from that point.
There seems to be an impression based
upon letters alleged to have been written
by Mr.. Waller to friends in this country
as we'll as to the State Department de-
nouncing his American citizenship-that
he has lost his citizenship. No such let
tiers have been received at the State De-
partment, ard if there wa any such COM
municatiOn in a private letter it is said it
would carry little weight. Mr.. Waller has
a reputation of being a keen, alert bust
ness man. He was an excellent consular
officer, and it is inconceivable to the de-
partmen} officials that he would surrender
voluntarily his American citizenship.

R. 6. DUN & co.
Says That Business Continues
 Active.
The Settled Controversy Between Coal Miners and EmployeS
 Has Good Effect.
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-R. G. Dun & Go. say in their Weekly Review of Trade: Business continues unusally active for midsummer, and though there is per- ceptible relaxation there are no signs reaction.
 Ones change of great importance is the amicable settlement between coal miners and employers in western Penn sylvsnia, Ohio and Indiana. It is said that about 100000 men will have their wages increased after October l, by this adjustment and while the enlargement of purchasing power IS of conse- Quence, it seems even more important than the chronic case of controversy has been removed by the new agree ment as to the company stores.
 There is no important change in crop prospects, and at this time no news is evidently good news.

The Spanish Minister at the

Speaks of the Attitude of the United States Towards Cuba-Spain
 Will Explain.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
 CITY OF MEXICO, Aug. 9.-De Aros, the Spanish minister, said today in an interview regarding the suspicious steamer which put in at Isla de Mujeres on the Yucatan coast, that the Spanish consul at Progros advised him promptly of the arrival of the vessel at that port. The minister says he does not believe, however, that the steamer James Wood. all was the one which had armed men aboard.
 Regarding the attitude of the United States press and people who are alleged to be most universally in sympathy with Cubans and giving open aid to rebels, the minister intimated that Spain would make an explanation and exhaust tn cir diplomatic resources be- fore proceeding further, but would then act as circumstances should dictate. He would prefer that Cuba, in the last resort, be annexed to Mexico than be. come part of the United States. He says when the rainy season ends in Cuba the Spanish government will make supreme and irresistible en. deavor to suppress the rebellion with 25,000 men and forty batteries of artil lerv,

YAVAPAI COPPER MINES.
One In Copper Basin Worth
 $25O,OOO.
The United Verde Pronounced the Richest In the WorIo-S5,-
 100000 Refused.

From the Prescott Courier.
 It is stated that a mining expert who has been in this section for some time in the interest of Haggin & Dsly, has recently made @ favorable report on some mines in Copper Basin; that a French syndicate holds an option on these properties for $250, ,000, and if the syndicate fails to take them, Messrs. Haggin and Daly will do so immediate. ly. The same expert visited the United Verde Copper company's mines near Prescott and pronounces them the big gest and richest mines in the world i; says that Hon. W. A. Clark has been offered $5, ,OOO.OOO for the properties and refused it. He saw enough ore in sight in the mine to keep up the present out. put, which is 200 tons day, for several years. Considering the fact that, with in the memory of every citizen of Pres colt, there was time when the United Verde mines could have been bought for few hundred dollars, and few be- lieved them to be of any value, the most skeptical should be convinced that we have 8 marvellous mining country and that where there is one such mir @ there are others as rich as many more of lesser magnitude, all waiting for the capital necessary to develop and work
 them; for the United Verde mines would hardly be known today had they not fallen into the hands of a man able to handle them.

HORRIBLE DEATH.
A Three-l ear-Old Child Is Set
 Afire by Matches.
Although FearfulIy Burned the Suf- ferer Lives TWO Days After
 the Accident.

The three-y year old child of MT. and Mrs. Jos. Ebertz of South Third street died Thursday night about 12 o'clock. The funeral of the little one occurred yesterday afternoon from w. H. Smith & Co.'S. undertaking parlors.
 There was something especially sad about the child's death. Wednesday afternoon he was playing in the yard in front of the house when the mother was attracted by screams. She ran out and was mortified to see her little son on the ground writhing in agony, with his clothes all aire. The distracted mother quickly procured blanket, and wrapping it around the sufferer the flames were extinguished, but not be- fore the child was mass of quivering flesh from head to feet. Dr. Kirkwood was summoned and done all he could to relieve the child's suferings, but the boy could not survive his injuries, espe- ciallv in one so young, and he died in great agony.
 The child had in some manner pro- cured 8 bunch of matches and went out in the yard to play with the chil- dren of @ neigh Dor. The matches be. came ignited and set fire to the boys clothes. The other children made an effort to put out the fire with their hats, but the breeze created only famed the flames and caused 6ercer blaze.

A NOVEL INVENTION.
Photographic Method of Con-
 ducting Funerals.
The Inventor, A. E. Stilweil, Is a Relative of Judge StllWell
 of This City.

The following telegram was recently sent out from New York and contains that which is interesting to Pheni. clans:
 NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-Deputy Coroner A. E. Stilwell of Gravesend, also being an undertaken, has arranged phono. graphic method for conducting funeral sevices, which will at least be novel. He had it all ready for the funeral of George Petit of Sheepshead Bay, Satur- day, but the clergyman was on hand and part of the service was not needed. Nevertheless there was phonograhpic quartet appropriated to the ceremony.
 Stilwell's device is for funeral ser vice by photograph. He has purchased an instrument and has had funeral sermon recorded upon it by local clergyman, together with religious ex- ercises and several hymns by good quartets. These are reproduced by a funnel-shaped annunciator so that assem bled friends may all hear, and, according to Stlwell, the effect is seri- ous and impressive.
 My reason for this," says Stilwell, lis the trouble which occasionally oc- CUTS in securing the services of 8 clergyman, especially in summer time. The opportunity will come for me to use the photographic service, and ex- pect to do it with success"
 Considerable local interest is attached to the above unique machine for the simple reason that the inventor is a relative of Judge w. H. Stilwell of this city. There has been always some- thing iunereal connected with the Stil- well family. A. E. Stilwell is an un- dertaker, but that is all right with the exception that to the timid 1t has an uncanny aspect. The StlIwell family have lived in Gravesend for two hun. dred years. The name "Grsvesend" in itself, is synonymous with graves and graveyard.
 Several years ago Judge Stilwell was sent to Arizona by the federal govern ment as associate justice of the supreme court. He made his headquarters at Tombstone, and he was ioked by his relatives on the sepulchral sound of the l name of the town.
