point the hour hand to the sun, and
south is exactly half way between the

For example, suppose it is 9 o'clock in
the morning. Follow the rule given
above and we will find the south as in

BRADsTREET's REPORT.
The Week on the Whole Presents q
Distinct Gain.

The Week on the Whole Presents q
Distinct Gain.
New York Bradstreet's weekly
trade review says:
!. Favorable weather, except in some
Northwestern states, has stimulated the
demand for seasonable merchandise,
notably light summer clothing. On the
whole, the week presents distinct
gain. This is not so much apparent at
Eastern centers, except Baltimore and
Pittsburg, as in the central Mississippi
valley. At some Northwestern cities,
the movement in merchandise has de-
clined, but at several points East it is
unchanged, while Southern cities in
most instances report business quiet,
and in other sections of the country,
less favorable. There is demand for
hardware, machinery and locomotives.
Preparations are making at most lake
ports for the opening of navigation, one
of the first effects of which will be to
release 10, 900, 600 bushels of grain in
store at Chicago. Increased volume Of
business is most conspicuous West at
st. Louis, Chicago, Kansas City, Om-
aha, Milwaukee and Memphis.
Less gain is shown on the Pacific
coast, except in export lines, shipments
of lumber from Portland and San
Francisco being conspicuous. Tacoma
continues to send -four, lumber and
cotton across the Pacific and to South
Africa. Exports of wheat, -four in.
cluded as wheat, from both coasts OF
the United States, this week, amount
to 2, ,017 900 bushels, against !, 1854, ,00O
last week; S.165,00 in the week q
year ago. Exports of Indian corn
amounted to 1,O74,O00 bushels this
week, against 1881 900 last week, and
779, 600 in the week year ago.
Total business failures in the United
States are 244, this week, against 23l
last week, 219 in the week Of 1895.

Indiana Proves Satisfactory.

Washington, April 16.-The special
board, consisting of Captain Picking,
Constructor Barney and Chief Engineer
Ross, who was appointed to make the
trip from Port Royal to Hampton
Roads on the Indiana, and thus make
the final inspection of that vessel, has
submitted it's report to the navy depart
ment. The board finds that there is
no weakness or defect in the hull, fit
tings or equipment, nor is there any
defect in the machinery. The ship
handled well in every particular, with
remarkable absence of heavy rolling,
the maximum roll under broadside
sea being 90 degrees.

Imperial Troops Pushing Forward
From Mafeking.

London, April 22.-The South Afri.
can situation still absorbs large share
of public attention, and apprehensions
for the safety of the English in Mata-
beleland. and particularly in Bulu-
wayo, are not yet abated. There is an
appreciable sense of relief over the
news that a supply train from MAIZE
king has got through to Buluwayo, and
that the reinforcements of imperial
troops from Mafeking are being rapid.
~ pushed forward for the relief of the
place, which is, to all purposes, be-
leaguered, so closely invested by the
natives that numerous skirmishes are
occurring almost in the outskirts OF
the town. Friends of the people in
Buluwayo (and this includes, so far as
sentiment is concerned, all England)
are relieved to hear that no extensive
offensive movement is planned at pres
ent against the natives. There have
been grave fears that the whites would
be rash and invite disaster.
The reply of President Kruger to the
invitation OF Colonial Secretary Cham
berlain to visit England and discuss
with him what remedies can be ap-
piled to the grievances of the Uitland-
ers in the Transvaal is the newest
factor in the South African problem.
The reply is not accorded very kindly
reception by the English public. In
its editorial commenting upon Presi-
dent Krugers' reply to Colonial Secre-
tary Chamberlain, the Times says:
"If President Kruger and his sup
porters willfully close their eyes to
obvious facts and obdurately refuse to
redress the grievances of the Uitlanders
circumstances may occur that will
force them to rely upon the primary
right Of all communities to save them
selves from imminent peril. -
The Times tomorrow will publish a
dispatch from Pretoria, which says:
President Kruger's reply to Mr.
Chamberlain is friendly and concilia-
tory, but it fails to advance the nego-
tiation. 1t repeats that the president
canot ask the volksraad to consent to
his visit to England until basis for
the discussion is settled"

that troops be sent to st John. Stat
ford county, to quell riot. The dis.
patch was signed by the sheriff and
county attorney. The cause of the

to the Times from Hutchinson, Kan
sas. says the reported riot at st. John
was provoked by followers of Bond
Brothers circus, who after swindling
several people. resisted the efforts that
were made to recover the money that
they had taken. In the scrimmage
that ensued, the entire circus crowd
was pitted against the citizens and
officers. The trouble soon took on an
aspect so serious that the sheriff tele-
graphed Governor Morrill, for assist
ance to put down the riot. Five men
are reported to have been badly hurt.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
Daily Proceedings in Senate
and House.
IMPORTANT BILLS INTRODUCED
Substance OF the Measures Being Con-
sidered by the Fifty-Fourth
SessiOn-Senate.

Washington, April 18.-The resolu-
tion for an investigation of the recent
bond issues was taken up in the senate
today and Hill made sensational and
dramatic speech in opposition. The
New York senator defended Secretary
Carlisle and his administration of the
treasury against loose insinuations Of
irregularity, and showed the preva-
lence Of charges of this character by
presenting and reading in full the
charges made by Senator Chandler
against the friends of Mckinley that
a levy of money was being made on
protected industries in beahlf of Mo-
Kinley's candidacy for the presidency.
AS further evidence of the preva-
lence of the charges, Hill spoke of the
sugar investigation, where, he said,
one senator, referring to Quay, had
frankly admitted that he had bought
sugar stock and had right to buy it,
and today that senator was the favorite
son of the leading republican state as
candidate for the presideoy.
Washington, April 2O.-To avoid a
struggle for precedence, the senate, on
motion of Cannon, took up the resolu-
tion directing the secretary Of the in
terror to open the Uncompahgre reser-
vation without further delay, the un-
derstanding being that the bond inves-
tigation resolution should come up at
O'Clock as unfinished business. After
Brown had spoken for the resolution,
he sought to secure vote. German
asked that action be deferred owing to
the absence of Villas. who desired to be
heard. Aldrich said it must be clear
that there was something behind
these efforts at delay, and this persist
ence in putting off vote. German
responded that it was the first intima-
tion coming from the distinguished
senator on the other side of the cham.
Der that delays in public business were
occurring.
Washington, April 22.-With the
thermometer standing at 80 degrees,
less than 30 senators were on the floor
when the president pro tenn, Frye
called the upper house to order. Dur.
ing the morning hour the joint resolu-
tion for the appointment of Genearl
Franklin, Representative Steele, Gen.
eral. Bale and General Henderson as
members of the board of managers Of
the National Soldiers Home, was
adopted without debate. Cannon in

Washington, April 18.-In the house,
Blue asked if Hull would allow the
vote on the resolution to be dropped for
ten days. This Hull declined to do.
The speaker decided also that motion
TO recommit would not be in order,
the vote having been ordered at three
o'clock. Mahon's amendment to inves-
tigate Governor Smiths conduct was
ruled out, and the vote was taken on
the Blue amendment to substitute the
name of General Howard for that of
General Franklin. On demand of Blue,
the vote was taken by ayes and nays,
and was rejected by 81 to 149. The
resolution was then adopted without
division.
Washington. April 2O.-The net re-
suit of five hours work on the private
calendar in the house today was the
passing of four pension bills, one to
pension the widow of Rear Admiral
Foote, at $50 per month; the rejection
of a bill to retire hospital steward as
second lieutenant of cavalry, and the
passing Of a war claim of less than
5000. The latter was the first war
claim brought before the house for CON.
sideration, and naturally provoked a
general debate on the policy Of paying
war claims. 1t drew from Mahon,
chairman of the war claims COMMITTEES;
Walker. Mccall and Evans, eloquent
pleas for the payment of the findings Of
the court of claims. Mahon argued
that these claims should be paid or
abolished. Dockery eulogized Speaker
Crisp, and Sayers, the chairman of the
appropriations committee in the last
congress, paid high tribute to Speak
er Reed.
Washington, April 22.-For the first
time this session Speaker Reed was late
in arriving at the capitol. Clerk Nc.
Dowell called the house to order and
announced that a speaker pro tenn
would be elected. Hull was unani.
mously elected. He had been seated
but few minutes when Reed appeared,
and, amid much laughter, said: "The
house will be in order - Although
this was the suspension day under the
