UNCLE SAM WINS.

Lord Salisbury Comedies the Main Point
in Venezuela.
Washington, Aug. 19.-The cable re-
port from London that Lord Salisbury
has yielded to Secretary Olney on the
crucial point of the Venezuelan nego-
tiations, that of including the settled
portions of the disputed tract in the
proposed arbitration, is regarded as an
important development by those inter-
ested in the subject. This inclusion of
the settled districts" has been the chief
obstacle in the way of arbitration, so
that if the report of its removal is con-
frmed the two governments appear to
be nearer to an amicable agreement
than at any time since the trouble be-
gan.

THOUGHT THEY'D BETTER PLAY.

sedate Passengers Reluctantly Consented
to Handle Cards.
A man can always get what he goes
after in the right way. One day, on the
Union Pacific overland train, little
episode occurred wLish proved this
plainly.
A big fellow who had. as we after
wards learned, come down from the
Oregon horse country, and who was on
his way home, wearied, worn, and al
most delirious with the tedium of the
travel through the party, bare buttes
Of Wyoming, rose from his seat at the
far end of the Pullman, and awkward
ly working his way up the car, stopped
at the elbow of the first man along the
aisle. This was an ecclesiastical look
ing parsonage, and the rough-looking
fellow beloved at him:
"Podner, will you play game of
siXty-six?"
The other smiled and murmured a
declination, whereupon, with disap-
pointed look the horseman addressed
the next male passenger with the re-
quest that he play sixty-six. Another
grin, were followed by application to
third and fourth and a fifth man; the
whole car had been canvassed. AT the
last negative answer the big fellow
turned and looked down the aisle de-
sparingly. Then, steadying himself by
the backs of two seats, he roared:
Scents, this here's a calamity. /
49, r To- n nil OF or
sunthin' an ye're all afeared O. playin'
weth me. 1 amt. I'm a deacon in the
Hokolopc church an mayor O. Hollo-
lope. Only trouble with me is that
when I'm disap'nted 1 has epileptic fits,
an 1 shoots an cuts an bites an
gouges dreadful to see, an humiliatin'
besides. I don't have them fits only
sixty-six always drives away the incli-
nation. But none O. you wants to play
sixty-six, an so they's nothin' to do
but have my fit. 1 think the best plan
nd be for the ladies to git into another
car, an fer the gents to crawl under
seats, fer I do provolxin' things when I
can't git no one to play sixty-six an
has to have fit TREAD"
''Hold on! Hey! Stop it," shrieked
the ecclesiastical parsonage. II have
been wishing to play sixty-six for three
weeks and woefully misunderstood you
when you asked me-"
And for eight hours thereafter the rest
of the men stood in line waiting to re-
lieye one another at the card table so
as to be sure that the game of sixty-siX
should Lot be interrupted long enough
for the shooting and biting inclina"
tions of the epileptic to get worked up.

TRADE OUTLOOK.
Signs Are Not Very Encouraging for a
Business Revival.
New York, Aug. or. G. Dun G. Co.

New York, Aug. 22.-R. G. Dun G. Co.
in their weekly review of trade say:
Political events of the week had no
definite influence upon business prospects.
for the phenomenal variations in sterling
exchange and the beginning of imports Of
gold, although following the great meet
ing in Madison Square Garden on Tues.
day, may be fairly attributed to the ac-
cumulating excess of merchandise ex-
ports over imports, to which attention has
been repeatedly called, exports from New
York for the past two weeks having been
20 per cent. larger and imports here q per
cent. smaller than last year The rapid
movement of grain, and the unusually
early marketing of cotton tend strongly
to aid the banking syndicate which has
undertaken TO regulate foreign exchanges.
withdrawals of money to the interior
are rather large, and commercial loans
are hard to place, and this dlff1culty checks
many new enterprises ana business in
many departments. Bank clearings are
last year. Railroad earnings are not as
good as might be expected for the first
half of August, exceeding those of last
year by only 3.4 per cent.
Speculation has advanced wheat over
l cent during the week, corn a small frac-
ton, and cotton five-eighths, the princi-
pal motive power being reports Of injury
to growing crops.
1.-THE boot and shoe industry is rapidly
nearing the end Of past orders. Prices are
a shade weaker. Leather Is weaker with
small demand, although restricted sup
plies have caused a shade Of advance In
some kinds. Hides at Chicago averaged
more than per cent. lower for the week
again, the fall in the past five weeks hav-
ing averaged about Is per cent.
1.-The iron and steel manufacture has
only continued depression to report. and
nearly all finished products are being sold
below current quotations. There is rapid
curtailment Of production but in spite of
this the supply of finished products ap-
pears to greatly exceed the demand for
them. The one bright spot is sale OF
5000 tons Of steel rails to Japan, for re-
fitting railways in that country, which
makes an aggregate of $1,000 tons exported
during the year. Nothing encouraging can
yet be said regarding the wooden manu-
facture, and the demand for goods, even
at recent reductions in prices, Is still dis
appointingly small. A heavy auction sale
of cotton goods brought prices which were
considered quite encouraging, and the cur
rent demand is fairly maintained, although
the mills are not inclined to make large
contracts for the future in view Of the
rise in raw material. In general the work
ing force in the textile branches does not
appear to have increased.
Failures for the week have been $50
in the United States against 222 last year
and q in Canada, against 43 last year."
