business outlook for 1897. Almost without ex-
ception they take n favorable view of the
situation, and a general summary OF their
letters shows confidence in q gradual but
sure return of business activity n pros
perlty. The expectation OF many people
that there would be a quick revival after the
election is said to be without reason, and
the position is taken that the election only
served to make a beginning OF better times
possible.
The hundreds OF manufacturers whose
letters are published have male a much
more general discussion of business coDdt-
lions than is Usual in letters OF this char
acter, and while a few acknowledge that
they have been disappointed that the BUSH
ness revival is not more decided, fully three
fourths or more emphasize the fact that In
quiries have increased to n marked extent,
and that actual sales OF heavy machinery
and the closing of large engineering and
building contracts promiset to be falrIy active
after the first Of the year, with Indications
pointing to a wide expansion in domestic
and foreign trade before tho end OF 1897
The tone OF all the letters, both from rail-
road officials and from leading manufacture
ers all over the country, with only two or
three exceptions, is strikipgly optimistic.
Congressman Walker, Chairman Of the
House Committee on Banking n Currency,
says: s'We are certainly upon the threshold
of a period Of increased activity and pros
perity and wide expansion OF our trade in
~terests, both in domestic and foreign mar
kets, providing Congress will accomplish the

Swiss Federal Council Decides against the
Republic On the Fabiani Case.
The Swiss Federal Council at Berne
rendered a decision in the matter of the
arbitration of the claims OF the French mer-
chant and shop owner, NJ. Fatiani, against
Venezuela. Fabiani asserted that Blanco,
who was President of Venezuela, had ruined
him, and his claims for Indemnity were sub
mltted to the President of the Swiss Con-
federation for arbitration in 1891.
The awari promulgated BY the Federal
Council simply recognizes thefact that JUS
lice was denied TO Fabiani, anf fixes the in
demnlty to be paid to him by Venezuela at
$500, 900.
The decision solves n great many points
affecting the rights OF Natlo4s, private and

Oddly enough, neither the Princess nor
