LAKE LEVELS.
Most Serious Problem for the Deep
Waterway Commission.

DETROIT, Mich, Sept. 1.-THE deep water
way commission appointed to investigate the
feasibility of and select routes for deep
ship canal between the great lakes and the
Atlantic has selected permanent headquarters
in this city. The three members of the COM
mission Alfred Noble, of Chicago; George
Y Wisner of Detroit, and Maj. Raymond,
U. S. A., have just completed a thorough re-
connaissance of the region between Tona-
wanda and Lakeport n. Y, in order to de-
termine the routes to be surveyed in that
locality The present commission is directed
to survey routes recommended by the hrst
deep waterway commission. c. l.. Harrison,
of Chicago, has charge of the surveying
party in the field
Mr. Wisner said today: "It Is most prob
able that Tonawanda will be one terminus
of the ship canal Niagara river can De
quite readily improved TO the point and there
are a good many practical reasons Tor the
selection The most important problem Is TO
devise some way of regulating the lake levels,
to prevent the great fluctuations which have
been observed in them. Col. G. ]. Lydicker
has come to our aid in that matter by lend
ing us the service of E.. E. Hascall, of his
corps of engineers at the Sault. who went
to Tonawanda yesterday to spend the next
two months determining the volume OF water
discharged through the Niagara river. Mr.
Hascau is an expert on such matters. am
convinced that the regulation of lake levels
is feasible and that equilibrium at point
below the maximum elevation can be main-
tanned TIE depth of water to be maintained
in the deep water channel is matter not
vet decided There are multiplicity or con-
siderations The expense of building twenty
five feet over the cost of twenty feet COM
pared with the advantages tc commerce must
be carefully weighed.

AFTER THE LYNCHERS.
Indiana Grand Jury Likely to Re-

Mount today telegraphed Tom r. Connolly,
prosecuting attorney at Versailles Ind. ex-
pressing his qualification at the prompt ac-
ton of the grand jury in its efforts to pun
ish the lii Il who composed the lynching par
ty at that place. In his message the gov
ernor says: II wish to inform you that the
executive authority Of the state will support
you in your efforts to expunge from tae good
state this stigma that has been brought
through the. recent acts of mob violence and
that the perpetrators of this diabolical crime
shall be brought to Justice
Deputy Attorney General Moores who was
sent to the scene of the lynching by the
governor, has returned and made a state
ment He says that he believes it will be
possible to indict the men who took the lives
of the five men. Persons in Versailles know

men who participated in the affair. The best

all of them, but that the sixth intended vic

LONDON, Sept 1S.-All the morning
rapers comment upon the British re-
verse north of Camp. Anayat The
Daily Telegraph calls it disastrous
and says: Whether it is due to rash
ness or to some not explained cause,
it will be a matter of unfeigned sor-
row. When we read of the loss of so
many valuable lives, we can only de-
plore a casualty which, though it will
be doubtless speedily avenged, casts
a gloom upon the happier intelligence
received from Fort Gulistan."
The Standard says: "The interrup-
ton of the advance is in every way de-
plorable. 1t is absolutely necessary
to retrieve the reverse, and, mean
while, the enemy, who were said to
be disheartened and disinclined to
fight, will be encouraged to organize
a determined resistance. Possibly the
Third brigade, which has reached Ne
wagai, will retrace it's steps in order
to support Gen Jeffreys. 1t is tmpossi-
BILE to offer an explanation Of the mis-
hap. We must remember, however,
that it occurred in a country never
before traversed by European troops.
and very little known, the country OF
the Mohmunds, who also know very
little of the strength ultimately to be

reason to fear once again that lack
of complete intelligence as to the dis

operation that cannot be pushed
through. Further details are awaited
with anxiety. 1t must be hoped thar

TRADE FIXTURES FAVORABLE.
Signs of Commercial Improvement Apparent
in Every Direction.

reports showing that gold imports be-
gan in August, exceeding exports by
81, ,390,5S7, while merchandise exports
exceeded imports by $40, ,953, ,753 have
all contributed to forward the I'M
provement in business. The replenish-
ment Of stocks cannot be half finished,
though some who could see no sign of
improvement a few weeks ago are now
finding it SO vast and rapid that they
fear reaction. But consumers as we'll
as dealers have also to supply them
selves after years of forced economy
and, while their power to purchase
is increasing every day and their ac-
tual buying at retail, reasons for ap-
prehension are not urgent. When the
tide rises after four years of depres-
sion it does not fall again after four
weeks
The wheat market has declined over
five cents on account of crop reports,
which promise larger prosperity, and
corn and cotton are both a little lower
for like reasons. Yet the estimates of
the highest financial authorities re-
garding requirements from this coun-
try are not smaller, but are larger than
before, while better prospects in Ar
gentine, Australia and India hold out
no promise of large European supplies
or of any until winter is about over.
The stock market had another of It's
reactions on Monday, but on Tuesday
was higher than ever. The reactions
thus far have been sufficient After
the average of sixty active stocks had
risen 81 per share, it fell Sc cents in
two days of reaction in June and then
rose again. After rising $5 more, it fell
II cents in August, then rose another
81 and had a serious reaction of So
cents on the 18th, but was higher than
ever within a week. Aug. "a and 25
it fell 25 cents, but it then rose So
more. Sept: 13 it's reaction averaged
25 cents, and it has since advanced
$107.
The iron industry again shows in
creasing demand and an average of
prices nearly per cent higher, due to
purchasing by consumers. Textile
mills are more fully employed than at
any other times for years, though new
buying has diminished in amount. and
though, while the number of orders
received is still large, the amount IS
smaller. The demand is very good for
the season, and prices are firm
throughout, with some further ad-
vances. Actual buying of woods By
mills is increasing at all markets with
the belief that foreign supplies arc
short
Failures for the week have been 204
in the United States, against ST last
