of the condition of things at the mouth OF
the Yukon river, where Mayor Wood OF
Seattle. who took the Humboldt eXpedl-

the miners to the headwaters OF the ! u

their friends express the greatest anxiety
for both Wood and Howard. Some Sc

the United States soldiers are now ON the
way to st. Michaels, where Their pres

Eliza Anderson's passengers, VINO apan-
doned Der at Dutch harbor and went to
St. Michael's in the schooner Baranotf,
found on their arrival at the mouth of the
river that it would be impossible to pro-
coed to Dawson City this winter, and then
trouble began. They had paid Their pas
sage and freight money to be landed in
Dawson City, and Howard in charge Of
the party, coolly announced that the eX-
petition was a failure, and he would not
undertake to feed the 116 passengers dur
ing the winter nor would he attempt TO
take them ON to Dawson City IN the
spring. Then Howard, so it is claimed,
tried to leave on one of the cutters, but
was forcibly detained by the miners. Ihe
Mayor Wood party is in the same Tx.

Great Floods Ravage China, Leav;r,

The flooded district is within tvelys

The floods have greatly damaged lara

BUSINESS is BETTER.
PAYMENTS FOR SEPTEMBER
LARGEST EVER KNOWN.
Productive Force Steadily En1arges-
Nearly 200, 10000 Bushels of Wheat
for Export-Day1ight Bank Robbery
Encouraging Outlook.

R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review Of
Trade says: "While failures were the
smallest ever known in any quarter since
1892, and business payments through
banks the largest by $26S,0O0,O0O ever
known in September, the spectators who
profess anxiety about Cuba, or fever at
the South, or municipal election, still
have some influence. Yet business is still
increasing The productive force steadily
enlarges, the distribution Of wages affords
an increasing fund for purchases, and the
foundations are laid for larger business
hereafter. Crop reporters who have wide
~ differed now agree in putting the yield
of wheat from 5SO,OOO,OOO to 590,OOO,OOO
bushels, which is nearly 200, 100000 bush
els more than will be required for home
use, keeping stocks as they were July l,
the lowest for seven years. With less
favorable reports Of yield, corn exports
fall short slightly, with small difference
in price. Cotton is unchanged in price,
with larger consuming demand, though
big crop estimates do not appear to be
disputed. Building of more vessels on
the lakes and seacoast, heavy orders for
sheets, bars, rods and pipe have caused
advances averaging half of 1 per cent on
all classes of iron. Wool has now reach
ed an average Of 20.37 cents per pound,
a rise Of s cents since year ago, with a
much heavier rise on some qualities. Spec
ulative sales still account for most of the
aggregate. Failures for the week were
213 in the United States, against 296 last
year, and % in Canada, against 40 last
wear"

TOPIC WILL BE FISH.
FISHERY CONGRESS TO BE HELD
IN TAMPA, FLORIDA.
January, 1893, Is the Date Upon Which
the Protection, Propagation and Pres
ervation of the Finny Tribe Will Be
National Fishery Congress.

The fish commission at Washington is
very much interested in the national fish
cry congress which convenes at Tampa,
Fla, in January, 1898. The congress
will, it is believed, prove to be one Of the
most noteworthy gatherings of the kind
ever held in the country. A large attend
ance of representatives of the various
State fish commissions, angling and fish
ing associations and the national fish COM
mission is expected, and all persons inter
ested in fishing, angling and fish culture
will be welcomed. The United States
Government has extended invitations to
the Governments of Great Britain, Ger
many, Russia, France, Italy, Spain, Por-
tugal, Sweden and Norway, Denmark,
Belgium, Austria Hungary, Greece, the
Netherlands, Japan, China, Mexico, Bra
iii, Venezuela and other countries. 1t is
proposed to organize an international fish
cry association at the congress. The call
for the congress was issued by Gov. BlOX-
ham Of Florida. One of the main objects
is to secure harmony among the States IN
providing for the preservation, propaga-
ton and protection of their water pro-
ducts. Fish culture, oyster culture, tur-
tie culture and frog culture and the
sponge industry are down ON the program
for discussion. The condition, extent,
methods and needs Of the great CONNER
cial fisheries will receive considerable at
tention, as will the question Of fishery
legislation.

Connecticut to read the constitution and
State statutes in English was obtained
by small vote, as all such amendments
invariably are, but by vote large enough

amendment were the native-born not ac-

unanimity that made opposition doubtful

Hartford came out against it, but the

TO ENLARGE THE SYSTEM.
Postal Department Favors Increasing
Money Order Offices.

Money order OfHceS.
The Postoffice Department has adopted
a policy of general extension Of the money
order system. First Assistant Postmaster
General Heath believes that any postofflce
wanting money order facilities should be
given them Complaints have been con-
stantly fled by business houses that their
correspondents at villages are unable to
send money orders because their post
offices have no such facilities. During
the last fiscal year almost 2l,0OO,00O
money orders were issued, amounting to
a little less than 100000, 600. The inter-
national money orders issued during the
year, purchased principally by worknen
sending money to friends or relatives in
foreign countries, amounted to Slo,OOO,-
900. while the amounts drawn ON the
United States by foreign countries did
not exceed $5,OO0,OOO During the Har
rison administratio ton there was a large ex-
tension of money order offices, about TO-
600 having been established. During the
last four years the number was increased
by only 1000, ON the theory, it is said,
that there were too many postoff1ces. The
total humber of money order offices now
in operation is about %, OO0, and the num-
Der probably will be increased to 10000
before the next fiscal year. General Sup
erintendent Metcalf of the money ORDER
office said that the cost to the department
of maintaining money order service at
a postoffice is less than 5 cents a year,
even if the office transacts no money or
der business. If it issues orders amount
ing to $40 it is source of revenue and
helps pay the general postal expenses.
The money order business now brings a
revenue of 81, 100000 mostly in fees net,
and accordingly the more money orders
issued the more revenue.

That the authorities are anxious to
place the navy on an emergency footing
is shown by the intention of Secretary
Long to submit an estimate to Congress
for $1,50O,OO0 to be used in purchasing
ammunition for the service for the next
fiscal year. OF this sum $1,OOO,0OO is
needed to equip navy ships with ammuni-

adding to the reserve supply of powder
which the navy will commence to estab-
fish within few days. The Secretary
will also ask for $4,000 with which
powder factory will be established.

PLAN FOR GREAT GOLD TRAIN,

To Send Cripple Creek Output to

A novel scheme for handling the gold
output of the Cripple Greek mines will
be put into use by the operators in that
district. The plan is to set aside the out
put for one month, take the bullion there
from and ship it to the United States
mint at Philadelphia in one single con-
signment. A special train will be secured
for the purpose of transporting 1t. AS
the present output of Cripple Greek is
over 81 100000 per month there will be
one of the largest shipments of gold bull
lion that ever crossed the continent.
