TRADE REVIEW.
Week Develops No Important Change
In the Situation.

New York, Feb. Or. G. Dun & Co.,
in their weekly review of trade, say:
mo important changes in business ap-
pear, but the number of manufacturing
establishments starting much exceeds the
number of those stopping during the week
and so much that the curtailment of
working time In many cotton mills prob
ably does not lessen the aggregate pro-
ductive force or amount of wages paid.
There is distinct increase in orders for
wooden goods. some gain in the silk man
ufacture, a waiting condition with gain
In one branch of boots and shoes, and in
dications of better things coming in the
iron and steel manufacture.
ITO many 1t is the most perplexing fea-
ture of current events that wheat does
not rise much, though it has advanced
iA cents for the week The condition of
the market Is not explained by any spe-
cial information, bet current prices show
that no great confidence is felt in the es-
Inmates of supplies available for the rest
of the year. Cotton fell ~ cents after
the agreement to close Fall River and
other print cloth works became known,
but recovered the quotation of a week
ago, 7.H cents, without further news. Spin
ners' takings have been so small this year.
those of northern mills about 400, 900 bales
less than 1894-95, that the admitted mar
rowness of demand for goods has at pres
ent considerable weight.
Prices for Bessemer pig and gray forge
at Pittsburgh have slightly advanced, with
a much more hopeful feeling notwith-
standing the comparative narrowness of
the demand for finished products. and in
plates and wire and wire nails there is
much more business with good prospects.
Reports that 25,000 tons of steel plate and
sheet bars have been exported to England
are only indications of the temporary ex-
cess of supply over demand in this coun-
try, and are not supposed to have real
lied any profit. Yet it is stated that prices
Of cast pipe are from 81 to s. per ton lower
at New York than at Scotch works Bars
are quoted al the lowest price ever known
at Philadelphia, without much improve
ment in the demand, and steel rails are
still inactive and unchanged in price, the
railroads waiting for decline correspond
ing to the fall in billets. But on the whole
the demand for iron and steel products is
slowly gaining. sgHula H
Failures for week have been 81 in
the United States, against 323 last year,
and 63 in Canada, against 81 last year.

ANOTHER MASSACRE.
Christians in Crete Shot Down By
Turkish Soldiers and MussuImans.

Christians in Crete Shot Down by
Turkish Soldiers and MussuImans.
Athens, Feb. 6.-The situation at
Crete has reached a crisis of blood
and fire. The Turkish troops have
Joined hands with the native Mussul-
man cutthroats. Three-fourths of the
Christian quarters of the city of Canea
have been burned to the ground, accord
ing to late advices received from Crete.
The Christians while trying to escape
to the warships were attacked by the
Mussulman population and many were
killed and injured. The total number
of victims as a result of the recent
fighting is estimated at 800.
The trouble originated in the I'M
founded reports that the Mussulmans
had killed 81 Christian sentinels in
Akrostri. When the report was re-
ceived the vail ordered the troops to
proceed to the defense of the Christian
villages. The troops were attacked,
and it is reported that 20 persons We're
killed. Several villages were destroyed
by fire.
The Mussulmans, it is claimed, in
stituted the attack upon the Christians.
and commenced the discharge of fire
arms. A considerable number of per-
sons persisted in the conflict. Finally,
it was observed the soldiers themselves
fired from the ramparts into the ranks

state Capitol burned

Harrisburg, Pa, Feb. 3.-The Penn
sylvania state capitol was destroyed by
fire Tuesday afternoon. The legisla-
tive halls are in ruins, and new
structure must rise from the ashes
of the one that has served as
a meeting place of the Pennsyl-
vania legislature since 1922. The
flames within the short space of one
hour ate up S1,5oo,Ooo worth of proper
ty. The most valuab BILE of the state and
legislative records which were in the
building were saved, but the records
and statistics of the department of pub
lie instruction, which included much
valuable information bearing upon the
public schools of the state, were de-
stroyed.

A Jealous Lover.

John Stella, of the town of Swan
vile, is in trouble, all due to his love
for Mrs. Russo, young widow of that
town. Andrew Malbe was also Wis
itor at the Russo home, and this
aroused SteIla's ire. The other night,
armed with shot gun, he went to the
Russo home, and his rage was uncon-
trollable when he looked through the
window and discovered his rival in the
company of the Russo woman. He
discharged his gun through the win
dow in their direction, but his aim was
poor and both escaped beng shot. He
was arrested. f

MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 2, 1897
pNwARE OF KLoNDYKE.

1t is certainly time for the press Of
the country to call q halt on this Alaska
gold craze. Already, it is more than
intimated that 1t will be necessary %
put before congress, when 1t meets in
December, a bill for an appropriation
TO relieve the necessities of starvlrg
citizens IN Alaska, ard to give that bill
strong urgency features. l. is conccd-
ed by the transportation companies
which have set the crazs in motion,
that il will be unwise for any bu'
s'r3pg men to undertake the journey (;
and how comes the report that many
sicken and die through exposure Incl
dent to the miserable facilities provided
Moreover, it developes that anyone
starting as late as the beginning of
August, stands q very good chance Of
not reaching the gold fields until next
May or June, To land at Sitka or
some other coast point, is to be about
near the prospector's destination,
relatively, as is the traveller to mid
Africa, when he lands at Loango
The real facts as to the journey, appear
to have been suppressed or misrepre-
sented by the agents Of these transpor
tation companies most interested 10
the movement, and every character OF
device is being resorted to, for the pur-
pose of keeping up the excitement.
For example, one Of these carrying
steamship lines has formally applied
for the protection of our men Of war,
representing that there was reason to
a%pprehend attacks from pirates, on &C.
count OF the enormous treasure brought
out from Alaska. OF course, this is g
mere advertising dodge There is no
more danger from pirates in the north
Pacific, than on the Atlantic, whore
regular liners carry ten-fold the gold.
That there is gold in the Alaskan
placsrs, and even in leads in the moua-
tainss no man doubts; but that the
fields are as extensive or the ground as
rich as has been represented, is no,
probable. 1t Is certain hat the thous-
who are spending their all in al
struggle to reach this promised land,
will, If they achieve their first ambi
lion, find themselves destitute and
without employment in a barren land,
: nds exist not, andlscant
methods o. relief obtain. Many will
to death. Many will be driven
to lawlessness. All will suffer from
the rig re- of a climate to which they
are un ,eustomed. The amount OF
misery which these railroads and
steamship lines are entaiIing upon peo-
pie VIII; are deserving of at least fair
treatme is simply incalculable.

A STRONG PLEA,

The executive committee of the
Internati nal Textile congress which
opens al Roubaix on monday next has
issued a final ma nifesto addressed 10
a~malgamated worders in textile and
associated industries. 1t reads:
Dear Comrades-The date Of the holding
of the third international congress is APP
preaching. Never, 1t may be SAID, a con-
gress for the workers will have taken 30
great an Importance as the one which is
to be held next week. From everywhere
the answer has been 'Present,, and in q
great number the operative syndicates Of
the textile industry from France, Ger
many, Holland, Denmurk, Spain, Austria,
Italy Sweden inc even from America
have adhered to ths congress at Brussels.
Brethren, in workmanship and misery,
once more we beseech you to Join us for
the fulfllment OF the hard work we have
undertaken. To the syndicates that have
not sent their adhesion, to those which,
for one reason or for one other, would
thirk that can abstain to attend the con-
gress, we take the liberty to put them in
mind of the sublime words which Others
have uttered before us: sThe working
