BRADSTREET'S REPORT.
The General Trade Is Confined tc
Staple Lines.

Staple Lines.
New York, Aug. 4.-Bradstreet's
weekly trade review says:
General trade throughout the United
States is practically confined to staple
lines. The volume of business is nc
larger. Where orders have increased
IN number, they are smaller in size In
most instances they are based ON near.
by requirements. The feature of the
week is the increased difficulty in max.
ing collections and the higher rates for
mercantile discounts. Credits are he.
ing scanned more closely than hereto.
fore, and are granted less freely. Bus.
lness in South Carolina is retarded
by drouth, and in Northern Louisiana,
Texas, Southern Arkansas and Missis-
slppl prolonged drought has so inter-
Tered with business in some sections
that 1T amounts to calamity. Some
Northwestern lumber mills shut down
owing to low prices and difficulty in
obtaining money, while the demand for
woolens for spring delivery is not yet
sufficient to start machinery going.
Wheat exports continue we'll, total
shipments from both coasts of the
United States and from Montreal this
week (tlour included as wheat amount
ing to 1891 ,693 bushels, against O..
6S5, 900 bushels last week, and as com.
pared with 2,3S9, 600 bushels in the
week year ago, and with 3,1S2, 900
two years ago.
The total business failures in the
United States is 244 this week, six
more than last week, seventy-two more
than in the week year ago, and thir.
teen more than the third week of Au.
gust, 1894, the period of extreme de-
preston after the panic of 1898.

A FEARFUL FALL,
Defective Parachute Ends the Aero
nautic Career of an Astorian.

Defective Parachute Ends the Aero
nautic Career of an Astorian.
Astoria, Or, Aug. 25.-J. Weston
Daggett, the aeronaut, met with an &C.
cident this evening which will in all
probability bring his parachute-jump-
ing to Close An ascension and para
chute jump was advertised for 8 o'clock,
but the usual delay occurred, and it
was o'clock before everything was in
readiness. A large crowd had assem-
bled, from among whom the aeronaut
collected $28. He was dissatisfied
with this, and, before ascending, made
a short speech, stating that he had not
been treated with great degree of lib.
erality. There is not enough in the
money subscribed" he remarked, "to
pay my funeral expenses, but I'm 60.
ing up, anyway" When about to
start, Daggett's attention was called
to one of the parachute ropes, which
had been broken. Never mind" he
said, "let her CO." The balloon was
then let loose and assembled to height
of about 1900 feet. A slight current
of air carried it in southerly direc-
tion, and, when short distance south
of the schoolhouse, the parachute was
disconnected.
For the first 800 feet it came down
like rocket. and the cry, Hes
killed." went up from hundreds of
throats. The parachute then became
partly filed, and the descent was some-
what checked. 1t was seen that the
ropes had become twisted, but the
aeronaut retained his self.possession,
and, bv swinging, endeavored to get
the ropes into position In this he
was unsuccessful. and he came down
with a succession of lightning-like
flights. When about 100 feet from
the ground, the aeronaut seemed to
have lost his power to check his de.
scent, and he fell with a terrible
thud on one of the sidehills south of
the residence portion of the city. He
was quickly picked up and conveyed
to st. Mary's hospital, but the exact
nature of his injuries cannot yet be
stated. The legs are thought to be
driven up into the hips, the collar.
bone broken, and it is feared that in.
ternal injuries have been sustained.

A TERRIBLE DEATH
rhe Naphtha Launch ExpIodes With
Fatal Results,

Marshfield, Or, Aug. 25 News Of
one OF the most terrible fatalities that
has ever happened in this locality
reached town this monring when the
Gardiner stage arrived. Captain Wylie
wife and child months old were the
victims OF the sad accident, caused by
the explosion of a gasoline launch be-.
longing to w. A. Reed, senator.elect
from Douglas county, on Smith river.
d. Sengstacken, Of Marshfeld; R. H.
Pickering, of Portland, and Charles
Meade, OF Gardiner, had not ten min.
utes before gotten off the ill.fated
launch. Mr.. Senstacken returned to
Marshtield today, and from him the
full particulars of the dreadful affair
were learned.
The launch was a small craft of
about four tons, which was utilized to
carry milk to Al Smiths creamery.
She left Gardiner at 9:2O P. NJ. Wed.
nesday, loaded with empty milk cans
and several passengers. The night was
dark and the trip up the Umpuua to
Smith river was not without much
difficulty. One time it was necessary
to haul the boat out and repair a huge
hole made by running ON to a snag.
This was done and then the journey
continued Messrs Sengstacken, Pick
ering and Meade left CAPTAIN Wylie at
the Sherrett place at 1:20 A. NJ. The
difficulties encountered before followed
the captain during the remainder of the
journey. He had left his three pas.
sengers bout ten minutes behind when
he ran on rock. Here the fatal acci-
dent happened. The gasoline gave
out, and the captain attempted to fill
the supply tank from a smaller one.
The liquid evidently took fire before
the explosion occurred, as John Gra-
ham, the deckhand, and boy IA years
old, saw what was about to happen and
jumped overheard. The captain at.
tempted to rescue his family, but before
he could do so the tank became heated
and exploded. Graham swan ashore
and slept in vacant schoolhouse all
night, and at daylight got up and went
to neighboring farmhouse, stating
what had happened. The bodies were
all recovered, and the boat was found
hung upon the rock and burned to the
water.mark on one-side.

southern Republics Do the Right Thing
by Manufacturers.
Washington, Aug. 24.-The presi-
dent Of Argentina has issued decree,
copy of which has been forwarded to
the state department, remitting all
duties on articles sent from the
United States for the purpose of show
ing the manufacturing and commercial
industries of this country. The move.
ment for these exhibitions originated
in Philadelphia. The Venezuela gov
ernment has granted concession to an
American to establish permanent exhi-
bitions of American goods at Caracas,
Maracaibo and other large cities of
Venezuela.
A new phase of the long contest be.
tween Chile, Bolivia and Peru is
reached by which Bolivia is promised
a coast line on the Pacific. More than
year ago the treaty was made by CIV
ing Tacna and africa to Chile, thus
leaving Bolivia cut off from access to
the ocean and one of the few countries
situated like Switzerland, entirely
without coast line. Since that time,
the countries have been negotiating
and it is said treaty by which Bolivia
gets back strip through Tacna and
africa sufficient to give her an outlet to
the Pacific,

CALIFORNIA MINES.
Transvaal Operators Looking Toward
That State.

That State.
San Francisco, Aug. 24.-If present
indications can be relied upon, the re.
cent political troubles in the Trans
vaal, South Africa, are likely to have
a beneficial effect on the mining in
dustry in California. AS is probably
we'll known, there has been an exodus
of mining engineers from the Transvaal
during the past few months. Ham.
mond, Perkins and many other mining
experts who have had a hand in the
direction of vast mining enterprises in
the johannesburg district, have retired
from the scene of the recent disturb.
ances for prudential reasons, and are
now in London. Many of these gentle
men still retain their South African
connections, but, instead of devoting
their attention to African mining
affairs, they are looking for good in
vestments in other mining sections of
the world on behalf of the companies
and corporations they represent. Cali
fornia is attracting not a small share of
their attention, and, from what can be
learned from mining engineers now
here, there is disposition on the part
of moneyed kings of the Transvaal to
invest heavily in mining properties in
this state.

Ottawa, Aug. 2l.-It has been as.
