weekly review of trade tomorrow will
say: Congressional adjournment and
proof that, though the rate of exchange
rises to and even above the shipping
point, gold does not go out. has produced
a much better feeling. Prices do not inn
prove and there is on the whole no gain
but some loss in wages. While the strikes
of 10. 900 coal miners near Pittsburg aad
several thousand building workers, be-
sides strikes in 10 or II textile and iron
trades, has further lessened the purchas-
ing power for the time, there is anticipa-
tion of an Improvement in the demand
for goods in general and many are manu-
featuring and buying beyond the present
needs on the strength of it.
Three causes help the iron industry for
the time: The expectation of another
great strike at the coke works, the reports
that Bessemer ore will advance, and n
moderate increase in the demand for
products. The increase in demand is, on
the whole, small. Much of it is due to
new buildings throughout the country and
some to better odds for sheet and wire
nails, while wire rods and plates are in
fair demand, but the prices have not adj
vanced.
Copper has been depressed by competi-
ton to 91S cents for lake, and lead Is Of
fered more freely at 81 cents; while
American makers of tin plate are pulling
prices sometimes lower than those of simi-
lar imported plate. Exchanges through
the clearing houses are 10 per cent. larger
than last year, but 22.6 per cent. smaller
than in 1898, which for the first week of

The Treasury Explanation Machine Is
Rnnning Ov-r rim- These Days
WASHINGTON, March S.-Assistant Sec
retary Curtis to-day made the following
statement: In view of certain statements
in the newspapers that the treasury
officials are embarrassed by tho alleged
failure in the gold delivery under the re-
cent contract and other assertions of n
similar nature, calculated to mislead and
disturb the public mud, l wish to say
that the actual Withdrawals of gold from
| the treasury since the first of March. 1885,
ha We been S355, ,347. of which S2S1 .0S7 has
been for the redemption of United States
trersury notes, aud S7i.260 for the re-
| demption of the United States notes and
divided among the cities of New York,
Boston. Philadelphia, Baltimore, San
Francisco, ST. Louis and Chicago. These
are no more than ordinary Withdrawals
which in the past have usually take n
place at this season of the year.
Moreover, during the same period the
treasury has received considerable gold
coin in exchange for various kinds of pa
per currency. The apparent falling off in
the gold reserve was caused by misun.
derstanding in the gold reserve statement
of the treasury department, made up
from the statement sent from New York,
which should not have been included in
the gold reserve until all the certificates
of deposits upon which bonds could be is
sued we're delivered. The February fig
ures quoted in some of the newspapers as
Withdrawals include the heavy withdraw
ais of the earlier part of the month before
the gold purchase contract was made, and
| one single large item, not withdrawn for
export, concerning which there has been
| considerable newspaper comment. The
treasury officials are charged with the re-
sponsIbility for these transactions.

Late this afternoon the body of young
woman was found in the wreckage some
distance below the city. In her hand was
a small satchel, but nothing by which she
could be identified. The accident was
caused by the strong current, which swept
the boat out of her course, and she struck
the pier violently and was crushed into a
wreck. So quick was the work of de-
siruction that within five minutes not n
vestige of the steamer except the floating
wreckage could be seen.

CINCINNATI, March S.-During a heavy
fog this morning the steamer Longfellow,
belonging to the Cincinnati, Memphis
e New Orleans Packet Line company,
going to New Orleans, in some way, not
yet clearly explained, lost her course,
crashed against a pier of the Chesapeake
& Ohio railway bridge and sank. The 26
cabin passengers were all rescued by the
company's harbor boat, the Hercules Car
roll, except a lame man named Aldrich
of Cleveland. who is still missing. Those
of the crew missing are: Captain L. Law
renee Carter; second mate, name un-
known, and three roustabouts, also I'M
known. The Longfellow was valued at
So, 500 and was insured for $4,000. She
was carrying 500 tons of freight.

David Aldrich of Rome, n. Y, who was
lame; Captain u. L. Carter, clerk of the
boat; James Miller, the colored porter;
Gus Shevent, barkeeper, and James Xiv
EFT, second mate. The others reported
missing have been accounted for. Shev-
ent perished in an unselflsh attempt to
save Carter, who returned TO the office
for some paper after once leaving the
boat. The loss of the steamer is one of
those tragedies there seems to be no
means of preventing short of a removal
of the bridge piers.

ment.

the question of the taxation OF corpora

BIockaded by Great Britain.

WASHINGTON, April 24.--Reports
from Nicaragua confirm the state
ment that the blockade of Near
agua's ports by Great Britain means
executing her demands. 1t is under
stood the blockade began Saturday.
There is good reason to believe the
demands will not be altered, reduced
or compromised in the slightest par
ticular. The one great purpose of
Great Britain being 10 administer a
lesson to Nicaragua and indirectly to
all southern Republics, as to the
British methods of redress.
Exact information has been receiv-
ed as to Great Britain's belligerent
steps in Nicaragua. British troops
are to be landed at Corinto, the Gus
tom Houses are to be occupied and
British officers are to exercise the
functions of Collectors of Customs.
At the same time the Nicaraguan To-
cal commerce is to be crippled by
blockade.
The coast defense vessel Monterey
is still at Acapulco, Mexico. about
800 miles north of Corinto. She is
expected to sail southwark very soon,
but no special orders have been sent
her since she sailed from San Diego.
The limit of time allowed Nicaragua
to yield expires tomorrow and the
blockade is to begin Immediately after
wards. There Is good reason to be-
ieVe that Nicaragua will not yield,
but will allow British troops to accupy
