DIR. Samuel johnson drew his own por-

Lack Of Demand for Iron and steel-The
Check to Business Failures.
NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-Bradstreet's re.
port says:
Trade, which was retarded by unfavorable
weather week ago, has recovered somewhat
at Chattanooga, Memphis, Birmingham and
New Orleans While the cold weather cut into
the stocks Of heavy goods 1t delayed the sale Of
spring goods. Other relatively favorable trade
reports are from St Paul, Minneapolis, Chi
cago and St. Louis. At most centers jobbers
report business quiet or unchanged, with no
prospect Of immediate Improvement
The restriction Of the production Of cotton
goods has not strengthened the market or ad-
vanced prices ahead The heavy increase In
sales Of wOol-40, 100000 pounds-at Boston at
one time since January against A,0OO,OOO
pounds last year, is based largely on the exc
cution OF o high duty on wool.
One OF the most unsatisfactory industrial
features Is the lack OF demand for iron and
steel, prices OF which In the central western
states have gotten below nominal quotations.
The check to the number OF business failures
reported last week appears again in the total
for the present weels-S05 throughout the United
States as compared with last week, 1888 In
the first week Of Fcbpuary, 1896; 1858 In the

KINNEY SEATED.
The Credentials Of the Senator from
Delaware Accepted.
THE PROPOSED OMAHA EXPOSITION.
The Bill TO Encourage 1t Reported Favor
sbly-BIll Declaring the National Song
Many Pension Bills Passed
In Both HOuses.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8-The senate
yesterday admitted Richard r. Ken
ney to the Delaware seat vacated many
months ago by Mr.. Higgins. and which
has since then been the subject OF con-
tinuous controversy. Mr.. Chandler
and Mr.. IIoar stated that Mr.. Kenney's
title would be attacked hereafter on
the ground that his credentials, while
prima facie correct, came from a
legislature fraudulently elected.
Mr.. Hoar made the further state
ment that the Dupont case could
not be reopened, having once been
passed upon by the senate. The effect
of this course is to leave j. E. Addicks
as the contestant for the seat held by
Mr. Kenney. The Nicaragua canal
bill proceeded without definite conclu-
sion, Mr.. Caffery, of Louisiana, speak.
ing against the bill. Mr.. Thurston,
from the committee on international
expositions, reported favorably the bill
to encourage the proposed Omaha ex-
position. Mr.. Mcmillan introduced by
request bill declaring 1.-The Star

song of the United States. About 50
pension bills were also passed.

NEW TARIFF MEASURE.
Trainers Of the Law Expect 1t to Yield an
Enormous Revenue.

Enormous Revenue.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The trainers Of
the new tariff law are counting upon
an increase of $50, 100000 in the reve-
nue. above what Is yielded by the pres
ent law. The exact elements OF this
increase cannot be determined until
the new measure is more nearly com
plete than at present, but rough
calculation can be made of the sources
from which the increase Is expected.
These may be stated as follows: Sugar,
$25, 900, 900; wool and woolens, $18,000,-
600; tobacco, 81, 900; agricultural
products, $s,OOO,OOO; spirits, $4,000, 900;
fax, hemp and their manufactures,
"a, 900, 900; cotton hosiery and other cot
tons, S1,OOO,OOO; chinaware and glass,
~, OOO, 900; miscellaneous items, $780,
600. A deficit Of $25, 2O3,245 for the
fiscal year 1895 and probable deficit
of $50, 900, 900 for the fiscal year 1897
would be more than wiped out by an
increase of the revenue by the amount
Of $50, 100000 annually. 1t Is probable
that the surplus will be much larger
by the close Of the fiscal year 1899 than
these figures would indicate.

THE RAYS APPLIED.
Interesting Experiment Tried ill Walling-
 ford, Last Evening.


 Wallingford, Feb. 15.-There was a case of accidental shooting this morn ing on the Plains at the residence of William Jenkins on Cherry street whereby his wife was the victim.
 Living with William Jenkins are his two brothers, Frederick and Samuel Jenkins. Frederick had made a trade for a 32-calibre, self-cocking revolver and this morning Samuel was examin- ing it near a window close beside the dining table. Mrs. Jenkins was at the other side of the table and was just in the act of putting some breakfast dish es on the table when the revolver went off.
 The ball, it is thought, struck the dish first and then glanced and entered Mrs. Jenkins abdomen.
 Drs McGaughey and Wilson were both summoned and the wound was probed as far as possible, but the ball could not be located. Doctors were tele- phoned for in New Haven, but none could be had. Dr. Storrs of Hartford was then telephoned for and arrived this afternoon. This evening Dr. Storrs took two plates with an X ray appara- tus for the purpose of determining the course of the bullet and it's location. The plates will be developed to-mor- row.
 The surgeons debut very much the success Of the experiment with the x rays. Electrician Green of Hartford placed the plate at the back and gave ar exposure of twenty-five minutes, 150 amperes being used. It is the opinion of the surgeons as we'll as the electri- elan, that the vast number of internal organs in the path of the rays formed an obstruction which the rays did not penetrate. This is about the first time that the x rays have been employed in this state in such a difficult operation and the results of the experiment will be watched with interest.
 If by this means the bullet is located it will result in proving the X rays an indispensable aid in intestinal sur gerry.
