Marie Louise as Empress, Regent.

Marie Louise had played her role of empress regent as well as her imma. ture age and slender abilities would permit; only once in his letters did the emperor chide her, and that was for a fault venial in European royalty, re. ceiving a high official, in this case the arch-chancellor, in her bedchamber. On the whole, she had been dignified and conciliatory; once she arose to a considerable height, pronouncing with great effect stirring speech composed by her husband and forwarded from his headquarters. About her were grouped motley council Joseph, gen. tie but efficient; Savary, underhanded and warlike: Clarke, working in the war ministry like a machine; Talleyrand, secretly plotting against Napoleon, whose title of vice-grand elector he wore with outward suavity, Camba- ceres, wise but unready; Montalivet, adroit but cautious. Yet, while there was no ore combining ability, enthusiasm and energy, the equipment of troops had gone on with great regularity and each day regiments of half-drilled, half-equipped recruits had departed for the seat of war.-Prof w. M Sloane, in Century.

REVIEW OF TRADE.

A Moderate but Distinct Improvement in Business Seen-The Movement of Crops Large.
 NEW YORK. Sept 26.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says: very moderate and distinct improvement Is seen no longer only in the buying Of ma terials, which continues to stiffen prices. but also in orders for products of some industries, In money markets, and in export of staples It Is as yet little more than a step toward bet ter things but already started some important works and prompted few considerable con- tracts. Continuing arrivals Of gold have raised the treasury reserve above SIPS, ,O0O 900, strengthened the banks and relaxed the strin- gency in commercial loans, so that at about one per cent. lower rates more business was done than the three previous weeks. Hoard- ing IS no longer reported, but some hoards are being unlocked.
 The movement of crops continues large, and purchases for export have advanced prices or prevented depression. While the gain in working force is not great. it seems clear that for the first time In many months there is some gain. An important change is the general ad- vance In produce, especially in wheat, which rose sharply on Thursday and Friday, closing 5'i cents higher for the week. with much buy ing. apparently on foreign account.
 Cotton advaaeel an eighth week ago, but lost three- -sxteenths, and with full receipts might have gone farther, but for the resump- tion Of work by several important mills. Spec ulatiVe buying of wool does not abate, sales for four weeks having been s8,255l 100 pounds against 23,257970 last year, and 3I ,O2l 900 In 1892, but no gain in prices resulted. few of the woolen mills arc resuming, the demand for heavy goods constituting most of the gain in visible, but manufacturers show confidence that more goods will be wanted when the future is more clear.
 Finished products of iron meet more inquiry and the placing of contracts for l5.OO0 tons of steel for three new battleships, for one large building here and for several bridges. explain the starting of two or three works. but with such months as have passed a little business is Q gain.
 Failures for the week have been 3i5 in the United States, against 2I6 last year and S9 in Canada, against 50 last year.

STATISTICS ABOUT HORSES.

The Agricultural Department Shows a De-
 cided Falling or in Number and Value
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 2G. The statistics of the United States department of agriculture show decided falling off in the number and also the value of horses in this and other countries, as compared with the reports year ago. In this country alone the e:line in the number of horses is 769, 26l, or A. 8 per cent, as compared with last year, while the decline in value is SIC, ,59O,- 394, or 133 per cent. The fall in value appears to be universal, and the de- cline in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania is explained to be large ly due to the introduction of electric and cable cars, and also the increased use of bicycles, which have reduced d the urban demand for horses, and con- sequently their number and price. But the chief reasons adduced for the fall in value of horses on farms and ranches, which is quite marked, is the financial and industrial depression and the cost of feed consequent on pro- tracted and repeated thoughts. Sales of horses at S2 per head and below are reported from Kansas, Nebraska, Utah and Oregon. Old and inferior stocl; have been largely killed off in the cen. tral regions and in California for fer f,li1arv

WATSON WARNS JONES
ihe Noted Populist Says tho Democra,
 Manager Must Not I,Iston to rr,,I

Ahe Noted Populist Says the Democrat,c """ger Must Not Liston to Fusion.
 NEW YORK, Sept. 2S.-Tom Watson. popuiist candidate for vice president 'eiegraphs to the World review of the political situation, in which, in con- ciusion, he says:
 ohuer the present conditions, Mr. Bryan can- not get the full populist vote. He cannot gct m hansas or Colorado He cannot get 1t in North carolina or Nebraska In the friend .,est spirit l give Chairman Jones warning no VIII make the blunder of his life if he lis tens 10 the fusion leaders and believes n full poputst Vote can be had for Bryan and Sewall on the ticket
 ropeiiSt voters are men who have educated themselves on political topics. They will not stuitity themselves by voting against their ooh'ictions They will not vote for Q man. "ho 1T MT. B-yaG dies. will make us another presioent after tES fashion of Grover Clcve- @ ,aha' They may not be able to break up the iuSioh deal, but they can stay at home
 Ihe contract made at St Louis for united ueihocratic-populistt ticket should be carried out m good faith. Democratic managers should not expect to hold us to 1t when they ignore it themselves. If Mckinley is elected the re- spoasibility will forever rest upon those mana sers who mad It Tn their power to control by iair means 2'0J0,OW votes, and have lost them oy violating the terms Of the compact
 Ihe writer of this has stood loya.!y by MT. Bryan throughout the campaign. and will con- tihue to dos so, and 1t is out of a sincere desire so see him elected that he points out the weak place In our lines in time for 1t to be strength eneu. Chairman Jones can do 1t, Is under i'm piicit contract to do 1t, and should, for MT. Bryaas sake. lose no time in doing 1t.
 MT. Watson says Mir. Bryan acted honorably in the negotiations with the populists at the St, Louis convention in telegraphing Senator Jones that he would not accept the populist nomina- tion unless Mir. Sewall were also nomi. mated. He also says:
 respectfully warn Mir. Chairman Jones of the danger Mir. Bryan is in. The populist voters are dissatisfied and suspicious. They feel instinctively that the fusion policy which compels them to vote for Scwall is the begin- ming of the end of the populist party. They feel the principles they love are being used as political merchandise and that the populiSt vote is being auctoned oI to the highest bid- der. They suspect that populiSm has been bought and paid for and is now being delivered to those who bought it. Is the populst vote necessary to Mir Bryan's election? If so, the sooner Mir Jones realizes that 1t connot be had under any agreement which compels the populistS to make humiliating surrender of their principles in voting for Sewall electors, the better 1t will be for our campaign.

"A chicago Physician's Arrest Promises
 Some Sensational Developments.
 CHICAGO, Sept. 2S.-A morning paper says: Startling developments surround. ing the mysterious death of Emma Bartels at the home of Dr. c. w. Win ters, !Os South California avenue, Sep- tember 10, resulted in the arrest of the physician on the charge of murder and his indictment by the grand jury. The evidence now in the possession of the police bids fair to develop conditions at the California avenue house similar to those of the Holmes castle in Englewood, with the swindling motive omitted. The police have found two young women who en- tered Dr. Winters home under similar conditions, it is supposed as Miss Bar tels did, but not attended with fatal results, and it was on their testimony before the grand jury that the indict- ment was returned.

END OF HENRIeTTE REMAIN

Her Brother Says "She Died as shc Had
 Lived, Without Recompense."
 In May Henriette accompanied M. Renan on that celebrated expedition to Palestine, the fruits of which were given to the world in the "Vie de Jesus" After spending some months in Galilee and the Lebanon, they found themselves in Beyrout in September Their work was nearly finished, and they were eagerly looking forward to their return home, when Mdlle. Renan was seized with fever. The village of AmSchitm. near Byblos, a favorite sojourn of hers, seemed prefera ble to Beyr'ut as n resting place for the short remaining time, but scarcely had they removed there when her brother, in his turn, was smitten. There was no one in the village com potent to treat the disease, and when the doctor from Beyrout arrived it was too late to save Henriette.
 She died, as she had lived forso lonc. alone. During her long agony her brother was lying in state of com. plet, unconsciousness from which he was aroused by the administration of the most powerful remedy known to science only an hour after she had passed away.
 she died" said M. .Renan, "as she had lived, without recompense. The hour when men reap what they have sown, wlen they look back from their repose on the tolls and sorrows of the way. never struck her on earth. May her memory remain with us as q precious argument for those eternal truths which every virtuous life contributes to demonstrate For myself, I have never doubted of the reality of the moral order, but I see clearly now that the whole logic of the system of the universe would be overthrown if such lives were but a mockery and an illusion.
