SECRETARY FRANCIS REPORT.
Several Important Changes Recon-
mended in the Interior Department.

Washington, November 4.-The an
nual report of Secretary Of the Interior
Francis was made public today. 1t
deals with all the various branches of
the interior department during the past
year and makes a number of Important
recommendations. 1t proposes a solu-
tion of the vexed problem of bond-aided
railroads and deals eXhaustively with
the pension administration. The total
amount paid by the government on
pensions and the cost of distributing
the same for the past thirty-one years
is $2.OS4, ,S17,769 The present number of
pensioners. which is 97O67S, is greater
by 1866 than in 1898, when the maxi
mum annual cost was reached and is
greater than ever before.
This is due to the death of old SOL
diers and the continued payment of al
lowances to their heirs, while the
amount paid is decreased through the
death Of invalid pensioners leaving no
dependents
An increase from IS to $12 per month
is recommended for all wholly disabled
and destitute Mexican war survivors.

NO REPUTATION IN GEORGIA.

Atlanta, December 1.-THE state SEN
ate, by vote of q to 10. rejected the
bill to declare null and void all obliga-
tions and contracts which may be made
payable in any specific character of
money, whether the same be coin or
otherwise, 50 far as the general assem-
bly, is concerned; therefore, gold con-
tracts may still be made in Georgia.

WHAT THE SILVER MEN THINK.
They Say There Win Be No Important
Legislation at This Session.

Washington, December 4.-There are
now in the city quite number Of
senators who walked out OF the Repub-
lican national convention. Senators
Cannon and Dubois and Pettigrew are
here and met at the capitol today and
discussed matters In general way.
There is some speculation as to whether
these former Republican senators would
attend future Republican caucuses one
Of them, when questioned. said it would
be time enough to decide when he was
invited to the caucus, and called atten-
tion to the fact that notices always are
served on Republican senators that
caucus is to be held.
Another senator said he would not
attend any caucus at present. and
would await developments, The general
impression of the silver senators is that
no important legislation can be passed
at this session.

CONDITION OF
GENERAL TRADE
Bradstreet and Dun Reports SHOW
That Business Is Moderate.
A REDUCTION IN FAILURES
A Strong Ground for Confidence Is
Found in the Abandonment Of Two
Large Iron Combinations.

New York. December 4.--Bradstreets
tomorrow win say:
General trade continues In moderate
volume. the jobbers and wholesalers
being agreed that there was no bust
ness revival this year There is some
activity IN holiday goods. The rains
and stormy weather south and cold and
severe weather west and northwest
have checked traffic on Interior county
roads and otherwise interfered with the
distribution Of merchandise, except at
some northwestern centers where more
seasonable weather has stimulated the
demand for heavy textiles, clothing.
hats and shoes.
The situation in iron and steel Is less
satisfactory. With unsettling rumors
as to the success OF the steel pool. there
are comparatively few sales OF staple
grades and no likelihood of a revival
in demand prior to February. There
are $40 business failures reported
throughout the United States this week.

with last week; ~ as compared with the
corresponding week one year ago; 81 as

New York. December Ar. G. Dun
g Company's Weekly Review Of Trade
tomorrow will say;
The classified failures for November
show a gratifying reduction as COM
pared with October. and are especially
important as showing that the peculiar
disturbances during the presidential
campaign. which swelled the failures
to $S6OOO,OOO in August and September,
did not prevent quick return to the
monthly aggregate, scarcely greater
than that OF May.
The defaulted liabilities in eleven
months have been $685. sS.45s. against
Sl4S,544.2O2 last year, the increase being
largely due to the alarm during the
campaign.
The decline of failures to about 40
per cent Of the September aggregate
gives stronger ground for the conf
dence so generally expressed. The
ground for confidence is also found in
the abandonment of two Of the largest
combinations by which the iron indus
try has been retarded and the possi-
bility that two others will be aban-
doned.
