SEVERE DROUGHT.
Weather Bureau Information as to tn,
Recent Prolonged Dry Spell

Weather Bureau Information rs to the
Recent Prolonged Dry Spell
WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-Reports re-
ceived at the weather bureau indicate
the present drouth is one of the Sc
verest, most prolonged and general
known in the United States since the
bureaus organization. There are q
few places which show an exception
to the general condition, but in no
large section of country unless per-
haps the Northwest and far West does
there appear to have been heavy
rain for the past two months or more.
Where there has been exceptional pre-
cipitation it has been confined to
small areas. In some parts of the coun-
try the drouth began in the latter
part of July, but in most of the sec
lions it did not become markedly pro-
bounced until August.

REVIEW OF BUSINE SIS.
Events of the Week Were Promising In
Their Nature.

Events of the Week Were Promising in
Their Nature.
NEW YORK, Oct. 2l.-Dun's review
says: Failures for October thus far
cover liabilities of 50, go, 500, of which
81, 5S6. 265 were of manufacturing, and
81, 1s5, 534 of trading concerns. Fail
ures for the week have been 263 in the
United States against .53 last year.
and 46 in Canada against 40 last year.
The events of the week are promis-
ing in nature, though the speculative
markets are not entirely encouraging.
The great advance in cotton so de-
ranged exports that shipments of gold
were for time apprehended, but the
break in the market indicates that the
natural movement of the product may
soon be restored. The hating of de-
mand and moderate yielding of prices
in the great industrial market shows
that season of reasonable attention
to natural conditions has arrived, and
gives hope that the future demand
will be more nearly proportioned to
actual consumption. The week has
brought little further decline in iron
and steel products, in hides and
leather, and a more yielding tone in
boots and shoes.

The Venezuela Question win Have to
BE Settled Soon.
New YORK, Oct. l9.-That the Ven.
ezuelan question is approaching an
accute stage. with possibilities of re.
sistance by the South American gov
eminent to British aggression. was
signified by disclosures made in
New York yesterday on the best au-
thority. The government of Ven
ezueia has provided itself with
modern armament, and, among
other supplies, has ordered ten inn
proved Maxim guns from the British
firm which manufactures them. The
order was not placed through
any firm and the English house,
it is supposed, does not know the
destination of the goods. At the same
time the syndicate of United States
capitalists which has secured conces-
sions on the Venezuelan gold lands
claimed by Great Britain is preparing
to send a large force of prospectors,
miners and workmen into the field.

surely take place if Fitzsimmons could

that the governor would call a special
session of the legislature to pass law
by which he could surely prevent the
fight.

Washington to the effect that the gov
eminent directors of the Union Pacific

II doubt very much If the directors
have made q report Of the character
outlined in the dispatch. I am in
clined to think there is rot anything
in the story the telegram contains.
AS at moments glance understand
the dispatch's account of the supposed
report, do not see that it means any.
thing.
1.-THE settlement of the Union Pacific
and Central Pacific government debts
is business question. It is not q
political matter by any means. The
government must and will no doubt
make up its mind as to what is the
best thing for it to do in the premises.
The railroad companies must also de-
eide what they should best do. OF
course. if the government through
its proper authorities makes up its
mind that it will take possession of
the two roads, and assume their other
Indebtedness, well and good. No one
could prevent it from so doing, and I
for one would not prevent it.
by this statement l mean that I'M
less some settlement of the debt is ar.
ranged through an extension of time
OF payment, the Central Pacific will
not be able to pay the debt when it
natures. At the maturity of the debt,
and failure to make payment, the
government can step in and take the
road with its remaining indebtedness.
1t will, of course, have to provide for
the latter"
