STATISTICS OF FAILURES.
Greatest Business Mortality Is Among
CIothiers, with Bicycle Deal
Rrs Next.

New York June 4.-Bradstreet's pub
fishes this week the results Of what is
claimed is the most important statistical
investigation ever made concerning busi-
ness failures In various lines OF trade. II
covers the past three years, and the sum-
mary of its results presents the total num-
ber of failures in lines of business in which
there were ten or more annually during
the three years named. Purely CONNER
cial enterprises, wholesale and retail. are
seen to furnish 20 per cent Of the business
failures each year, and manufacturing en-
barrassments about 20 per cent. Out OF the
increase of nearly 2.lO0 failures in 1886, COM
pared with 1895. LBS. or more than one
half. were OF retail commercial concerns.
The record shows that in 1896, II out OF
every 1000 clothing concerns and 81 out Of
every 1000 bicycle houses failed in bust
ness. the two lines having relatively the
greatest commercial mortality last year.
The rate throughout the country in all
lines. last year. was II commercial deaths
out of every 1000 i'm business. Commercial
failures were relatively most numerous aft
er the two lines specified, among manu-
factureTs Of or dealers in hats. furniture,
glassware. dry goods. notions, woolens,
jewelry. lumber and hardware. After that
the rate of embarrassment approXimated
more nearly the normal.

CRISIS CAME YESTERDAY.
Not Yet known, However, Whether
the Cheyennes Made Trouble
Not.

Miles City, Mont, June 4.-There IS but
little change in the Indian situation. Sam
Crow and Standing Elk, the other Indians
implicated in this murder, are still at liber-
ty. The leaders of the tribe say: Indians
killed one white man. We have delivered TO
authorities one Indian. which is enough.
We will not give up any more.
The crisis probably came to-day, when
Indian Agent StOuch attempted 10 escort
Badger of the reservation and deliver him
to the civil authorities. The soldiers were
not expected to accompany the civil au-
thOrities further than the reservation. The
Indians knew this and il is feared they
followed the sherifs posse and tried to ef-
feet Badgers escape. AS the reservation
is fifty miles from telegraph service, no re-
liable news regarding Badgers delivery to
sheriffs can be had before tomorrow. IL
no accident happens, the sheriff will reach
this city tomorrow.

average of a cent pound. This increase
would give duty Of cents on first-class

THE SPANISH CRISIS.
Conservatives May Consent to Sacri-
flee WeyIer Rather Than TO
Lose Control.

Madrid, June 4.-Everyone is convinced
that the main question at issue in the pres
ent crisis is the selection of a new gov
ernor of Cuba capable of convincing the
people that Spain Is in earnest in the mat
ter of colonial reforms. The crisis is likely
to be prolonged: but there is a significant
change of tone visible in the Conservative
papers, which are beginning to hint that
the future fate of the Conservative party
is not altogether dependent upon Captain
General Weyler. The impression gains
ground that. rather than see the Liberals
in office, the Conservatives would consent
to recall Weyler; and it is believed that
Marshal Martinez Campos is willing to re-
place him.
1t Is understood that Senor SdEasta in
formed the queen regent that if the Lib
erals came into office through the refusal
to cOuntenance foreign diCtation, the recall
of Weyler would be among the first steps
taken.
The-queen regent IS expected to consult
MGrshals Blanco and DomingUcz tO-mOr-
row on the military aspects of the situation
in Cuba, and there is great anxiety to learn
the result of the long conference between
her majesty and Marshal Campos.

SAYS IT IS ILLEGAL.
Attorney General nt Washington Or
ders Proceedings to Dissolve
the Traders Exchange.

the Traders Exchange.
Washington, June 4.-The attorney gen.
| eral has directed suit to be brought against
the Traders exchange. of Kansas City
| Mo, under the act of congress of July :,
| 1880 known as the antitrust law.
II is represented that a number Of trad
ers or Spectators in live stock. having
| associated themselves together as the
Traders exchange. prohibit all other per-
sons from speculating at the yards. The
suit will allege: They Ohe Traders cX-
change) have boycotted the commission
firms that have dared to sell stock to any
traders in the yard who do not belong 10
the association, and have punished by fine
some Of their own members for daring TO
trade with firms of commission merchants
who have sold TO persons who were not
members of their own association"
The bill of complaint which Is ordered
to be filed in the circuit court of the United
States in the Western district of Missouri,
and in the name of the United states
against J. {. Anderson and about lJ0 9TH
ers, asks thSa~the defendants be restrained
from enfoTminS the claims. objects and pur-
poses Of the Traders exchange; also from
imposing any fine or penalty upon any OF
its members for trading with any person
at the Kansas City stock yards; also from
discriminating in any manner against any
person who is not a member OF the Trad
ers' exchange, solely because of such non
membership also from entering into any
contract, combination or conspiracy limit
ing the right of any person In the Kansas
City stock yards TO freely deal in live
stock therein.
This association has no connection what
ever with the Kansas City Live Stock eX
change. which is composed of the commits
sion men. packers, export and order buyers.
Ii is simply an association of the specu-
lators and traders on the yards. bound to-
getheT by mutual agreement, and started
for the purpose of protecting each other
against irresponsible parties. 1t has no
corporate existence. Several suits have
been brought against it, but they have all
come TO naught so far.
This federal proceeding is the outcome of
the trouble the Traders exchange had with
&. l.. Sanderson, speculator at the yards,
last winter, that resulted in his suing the
members for heavy damages. The suit is
still pending In the federal court here.
1t is stated positively that criminal pro-
ceedings by the government Will immediate
ly follow the civil proceeding. and consid
cradle emphasis viii be put in the move
ment. The trouble has its origin partly in
the Greer-Mills controversy that has been
pending over year at the yards.
