THE WIND IN THE CHIMNEY.

over the chimney the night wind sang
And chapfed a melody no one knew.
And the woman stopped as her babe she
tossed.
And thought Of the one she had long since
lost
And said. as her teardrops back she forced:
Il hate the wind In the chimney"
over the chimney the night wind sang
And chanted a melody no one knew:
And the children said. as they closer drew.
" It's some witch that Is cleaVipg tha
black night through
And we fear the wind In the chimney"
over the chimney the night wind sang
And chanted a melody no one knew;
And the man, as he sat on his hearth be-
low.
Said 20 himself: at will surely snow.
And fuel Is dear and wages low.
And I'll stop the leak I'm the chimney"
over the chimney the night wind sang
And chanted a melody no one knew,
Bat the poet listened and smiled for he
Was man and woman and child All three
And he said 7; Is Gods own harmony.
This Wind that sings in the chimney"

most trying circumstances are to be in
stantly written out by the official report
er and read in the presence of the House
The variety of subjects discussed, with
their local, literary or historical illusions,
requires that the reading and intelligence
of the reporter should be as broad as that
of the member. The physical and mental
strain which the work entails continues
sometimes without let up for many hours;
and the product of work performed under
conditions 50 severe is blazoned the next
morning in cold print before every eye
subject, if erroneous, to public correction.
Yet the corrections generally are few and
trivial. Throwing out of consideration
the correction of votes, which, being
mere transcripts of the clerks record,
the official reporters are not responsible
for, and throwing out also corrections of
typographical errors. there is scarcely one
correction a month. 1t may well be
doubted whether any work of similar
character, even though done under less
trying conditions, can show so small a
percentage of reporting errors and so
clean a record of habitual and amazing
accuracy.
In February, 1891, Il debate on Haw-
allan affairs occurred in the House last
ing five and half hours, during which
the stenograpbers took down 63,OO0
words, keeping up an average speed of
200 words a minute, probably the great
est piece of reporting ever accomplished.

The opposition to the bill made 4 strong
fight against it. The statements made on
the floor as TO its effect on certain par
ticulars were very conflicting. The most
important provision Of the bill denies to
serial publications admission to the mails
at l cent pound rates. 1t is as fol
lows: That nothing herein contained

the reporter has taken down about 1.00G
words he retires, his place being filled

first man goes into room and dictates

floor. An amanuensis then transcribcs
the report of the speech from the phono-
graph to typewriter paper, which is re-
vised by the stenographer, and goes TO
the government printer to be printed in
the Record. The routine is thus contin=
ued among the five reporters. This, IL
brief, is the system of reporting speech
es, the most perfect of any system ia use
in any national legislative body in the
world.

Has Not Put Dow, tho Revolt.

HaS NOT PUt pOw.l the Revolt.
News has been received by the Cuban
junta to the effect that the Spanish Gov
srnment has positively determined 20 re-
call Capt.-Gen. Weyler. Gen. Primo de
Rivera. it is said, will succeed Gen. Wey-
Ter in Cuba. He is captain-general in
the Spanish army, and in favor with the
Canovas government. Munster Taylor,
1t is said, informed Secretary Olney ses-
eral days ago that the authorities at Mad
rid were on the point of relieving Gen.
Weyler of his command in Cuba, and of
appointing as his successor Capt.-Gen.
Rivera. Reasons were given in brief why
change was deemed advisable, and a
statement was made as to the probable
time when the orders would be pronui-
gated. 1t is learned that the Madrid gov
ernment is displeased Mt the fact that
Gen. Weyler. with about 100000 troops.
has not put down the Cuban revolt. he
has expended large sums of money, but SO
far has made no decided headway in ac-
complishing his main object, that of
luelling the insurrection and restoring
peace and good order in Cuba. His troops
have been victorious on occasions, but
they have also met defeat and the total
result, considering Spain's outlay in life
and treasure, is far from satisfactory.
Too much may have seen expected of Wey-
Ter; just as the exaction was too great
In the case of Campos. Still, the one
great requirement-suce eess-has not been
fulfilled, and Weyler has consequently
fallen in official esteem in Madrid.

The trading failures by mon

In 1894 the January failures reached
S32,319, ,232, a higher aggregate than in
any other month for three years. because
the yearly settlements brought nome dis
aster to many who had been weakened
by the panic of 1893. There followed q
swift decline in magnitude of liabilities,
and throughout 1894 the range was COM
paratively low, both in manufacturing
and in trading. and it did not greatly
change until December it reached S22,-
1888, in which month considerable
rise nearly every year precedes the an
nual settlements. In 1895 the failures
following such settlements were unusual
ly low, and the range would again have
been low through most of the year eX-
cept for specially large manufacturing
failures in two months, May and June,
which included the Cordage Company for
nearly S10,000,000, the Walter Wood
Harvester Company and the Manning
brewery The December rise was slight
II greater than in 1891, and subsequent
failures in January indicated that the
wrecks had been less thoroughly cleared
away.
This year the marked rise in March
was directly traced to the fact that sew
eral large manufacturing and two large
dry goods houses had failed to distribute
goods produced or purchased in 1898, anG
the subsequent decrease promised n fair
summer record when there came the po-
litical agitation and alarm already men
toned. This disturbance affected manu-
featuring concerns first and most largely.
though others of Importance afterwarl
suffered.
The ratio of liabilities to all firms in
business is about 80 per cent. smaller than
in the third quarter with its disastrous
excitement, although slightly larger thar
in the fourth quarter of last year. This
raises the average for the year about 80
per cent. above last years, but not near
TO that of 1893 or some earlier years of
misfortune.
The ratio of defuulted liabilities to pay
ments through clearing houses, which are
taken as roughly representing the volume
of solvent business, was in the fourth |
quarter $3.T7 to $1,000, against S3.46 in !
the same quarter of last yeac, but SG.0G |
in the previous quarter of political alarm. |
This makes the ratio for the entire year |
S43T, which has been surpassed since |
1873 only in the years 1884 and 1888. |
Compared with last year the increase is !
nearly third, although most of the ex-
cess occurred, as has been shown, III only |
two months.
Besides the commercial failures, rs |
above reported, there were 19J failures of |
banks during the year, with liabilities |
closely approximating to S50,0O0,O00. For |
the year 1895 there were 132 failures, |
but the aggregate of liabilities was only |
$40, ,710,210. The railroad receivershirS
during the year 1896 embrace 1909 miles, |
with stock issues amounting to $T3,39T,- |
500 and bonded and other indebtedness
to $153,252, ,724. The bonded |
was slightly larger than in |
1895, but the stock very much smaller.
