New York, Jan. 1.-The movement of
the United Confederate veterans to
erect a memorial institute, or battle
abbey, is to be pressed during the COM
ing year. Gen. John c. Underwood,
Superintendent and secretary OF theCOn-
federate Memorial association, has es-
tablished offices at Covington, Ky.
The Fourth National bank of Nash
vile is treasurer of the fund, and the
executive offices will be at Nashville.
Mr.. Charles B. Rouss of New York has
pledged 500, 900 as soon as the associa-
ton raises an equal amount. The trus-
tees and officers want to duplicate the
Rouss fund in 1897. and then erect an
institute in which to preserve confed-
crate relics and archives.
It is now urged by an official circular
upon all division, brigade and camp
commanders to provide for a money
collection by every confederate camp
January 10, the birthday of Ger. Robert
E. Lee. Every effort will be made to
have the Lee anniversary celebrated
by a successful start in securing a sum
equal to the RouSs fund.

DUL1EsT OF DULL SEASONS.
Bradstreet Reports Almost Stagna-
ton in General Trade.

New York, Jan. 1.-Bradstreet's saws.
General trade has been rather more
ana this week proves one of the duIlest
OF the dull season which has fo1lou-aI
the fortnight of revived demand early
in November. The uneasiness last week
caused by northwestern bank failures is
continued by similar embarrassrnentss
at Chicago and MINNEAPOLIS These
bank failures seem to be the outcome
OF conditions originating in the banks
and not due to the situation of general
trade.
More favorable reports include heavy
exports OF flour and general merchan-
disc from Tacoma to China and JaDan
the receipt at Chicago of a satisfactory
amount of orders for dry goods for
spring delivery and an increased total
volume of business in 1896 among St
Louis shoe manufacturers and iobbers
and jobbers of dry goods, as compared
with 1895.
Exports of wheat, flour included as

States amount to 2,7o7,7 1913 bushels, as
compared with 2,111 900 bushels last
week, 3,457, 900 in the week a. year a go

with 2'026,0 600 bushels in the correspond

WANAMAKER DOODLE.
A Witness Declares S. 800 Was Paid
for Vote by a Wanama ker Agent.

Pottsville, Pa. Jan. 1.-Some startling
testimony was given yesterday at the
preliminary hearing of E. A. Van Val
kenburg, who has charge of John Wan
amakerS senatorial campaign at Har-
risburg, and who was arrested charged
with attempting to bride Representa-
tive Webster c. Weiss of Northampton
county to vote for Mr.. Wanamaker for
United States senator.
After Van Valkenburg had been
called and pleaded not guilty the pros
ecution called j. Tillard, who said he
was employed by the Interstate De-
tective agency of Scranton. Tillard
said he was sent to the Wanamaker
people early in the summer to hire out
to them and disclose all information he
could get to mis- superiors- He de-
scribed interviews he had with Mr.. Van
Valkenburg. He said he had agreed
to help the latter secure votes against
Senator Quay'S candidate for United
States senator. He told how he con-
spired with and induced Van Vall<en-
burg to give him money to bride peo-
pie in various parts of the state, nota-
bly, in Luzerne, showing Photographic
receipt from DR.. Mackey of Luzerne
county for s., $50 and pledging himself
to vote for Wanamaker. Tillard ac-
knowledged that he had kept $50 out
of the original sum, which was 81, 300.
He said it had been given him by Van
Valkenburg. The defendants counsel
objected to the testimony as having
no bearing on the Weiss case, but the
justice admitted it.
Mr. Van Nalkenburg says Tillard's
statement is tissue of lies.
The trial terminated abruptly when
the defendant waived a further hear
ing and entered bail This was done
because of the admission of Detective
TilIard's testimony regardless of the
objections of the defendant Shortly
after leaving the court another war
rant was served on Mr.. Van Valken-
burg charging him with conspiracy to
Noe # lac a
Bail in the same sum was entered.
After the withdrawal of the defendant
and his counsel the taking of testi-
mony was proceeded with in their alb
sence. Tillard swore he had received
$500 in notes of 500 each to pay to
| Representative Weiss. He said the
money was given him by Van Valken-
burg He subsequently received i've
other 800 notes from Scranton and re-
turned them to Van Valkenburg, who
afterwards acknowledged their receipt
