MUST HAVE REST.
Mark Hanna Overtaxed by Onslaught of
Office Seekers.

WAsHISGTON, May S.-Mark Hanna,
Republican national chairman and
junior 3cnator from Ohio, has at last
broken down under the strain of the
officeseekers. While at the office OF
the national committee Wednesday he
was seized with vertigo, which pros
tratcd him for a short time. Then, in
spite OF the protests of friends and
physicians, he was driven to the Sen
ate chamber to cast his vote for the
arbitration treaty. When this duty
was accomplished he returned to the
hotel. He was obliged to keep to his
room until late in the afternoon, but
announced to his close friends that he
had determined to go back to CIeve-
land to-day Or tomorrow to take q
needed rest for a week or SO.
The prostration which came here is
not a serious one in any sense but is
the direct result of overwork. His
physicians have warned him that he
cannot continue to hold receptions for
all o~tficeseekers in the United States.
He will return in plenty of time to
participate in the long tariff struggle
in the Senate.

REVIEW OF TRADE.
Dun Comments on the Business for the
Month of April.

Dun Comments on the Business for the
Month of April.
New YORK, May 10.-R. G.. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Nearly all will be astonished to
learn the actual sales in April by lead
ing houses in each line of business in
the principal cities east of the Rocky
mountains average only about 10 per
cent less than in April, 1892, the
year of the largest business hith-
erto, and were 81 per cent more
than in the same month last
year. Yet this is the summary of
357 reports. each covering actual
sales of leading merchants in a line of
business in one of the fourteen cities.
They are especially encouraging in
view of the great fall of prices within
the five years, and with exceptional
floods and other retarding influences
this year. While speculative business
in nearly all lines is small, and does
not swell clearing house returns, as in
previous years, the volume of legiti-
mate trade shows no corresponding
decrease and the fact is one of the
highest Importance in all business cal
culations. Moreover, returns of fail
ures for April by branches of bust
ness given only by the mercantile
agency, show decrease in number,
amount and average of liabilities in
almost every branch of trade and in
nearly all branches of manufacture
except cotton, although failures of five
New Bedford mills for 81. 900, 734 make
the total defaulted liabilities for the
month 40 per cent larger than last
year, 80 per cent larger than in 1895
and 80 per cent larger than 1894. The
value of reports tracing failures to
particular lines of business is impress
sively illustrated.
