AN ENCOURAGING FEATURE.
Increased Confidence of Merchants
and Manufacturers.

NEW YORK, July 3.-Bradstreet's s
to-day says:
Better weather has favorably affected
the sale of seasonable goods, particu-
larly clothing. hats and shoes. Orders
Tor prompt shipment are few, but the
movement of goods for fall delivery
has begun. The most encouraging
feature is the continued, and, in some
instances, increased confidence of mer-
chants and manufacturers that the aut-
umn VIII bring large development in
business at these prices. General trad
ing is quite satisfactorily at Kansas
City, St. Louis. Omaha, Memphis and
New Orleans; fair without special ex-
pansion at Milwaukee, Minneapolis.

His Speciality.

See that man, Gerrard?"
THAT fellow with the gray mustache,
who looks like a Turk?"
Yes. He's one of the most acute
men 1 ever saw, when it comes to a
knowledge of what is shady in litera-
ture. He knows every indecent thing
in Shakespeare, and l will venture to
say that he could almost repeat from
memory every word that Rebelais and
Boccaccio ever wrote"
That's quite remarkable in its way.
1 suppose that a man who has such a
thorough knowledge of the shady in
literature must necessarily be quite a
student"
We'll, l heard him ask the other day
if Shakespeare had not written Bob

duced as an amendment to the tariff
bill, but when presented to the Finance
Committee Wednesday evening that
committee suggested the inadvisability
of sadding the trust question on the
tariff, saying it would be preferable to
have the two questions treated indie
pendently of each other.
There were further conferences
among Senators yesterday and as a
consequence of these recommendations
of the Finance Committee, the Judici-
ary Committee decided not to present
the bill to the caucus as an amendment
to the tariff. Senator Thurston was
the only member standing for the coup

The Bradley Martin fancy dress ball at
the Hotel Waldorf in New York Wednes-
day night was a scene of bewildering en-
chantment, q veritable fairy land, resplen-
dent with an that wealth and taste could
command and graced by the presence of
700 members of the fashionable set, radi-
ant in rich robes of historic renown. The
richness of the decorations, the ancient,
picturesque costumes, the beautiful alegor-
ical toiettes, the comminging of so many
beauties, old and young, charmed all fort
unate enough to have been bidden to the
ball. As superb social function it has
had no parallel in America. Its fame may
pass into history, and perhaps, its splen-
dors will be written down as the standard
for the bellies and galants of the coming
century. Almost every character of the
time of Louis XIV and XIV was person.
ated and there were numerous Marie An
toinettes, Queen Elizabeths, Lady Teasles,
Juliets, Joan d Arcs, Empress Josephines,
etc. Aside from the beauty of the COS
tunes, interest centered in the unprece-
dented display of jewels, many rare old
priceless family heirlooms being worn.
There is no estimating their monetary
worth, but they certainly represented vast
fortunes. Many of the women seemed
ablaze with the sparkling gems. The ball
is said to have cost Mrs. Bradley Martin
S3j0,000, while the expense to the differ
ent individuals for costumes was many
thousands Of dollars.

The joint committee appointed by the
New York legislature to inquire into trusts
and monopoles in that state began its
work last week, taking up first the sugar
trust. The principal witnesses thus far
examined have been Henry o. Havemeyer,
the president of the sugar trust, and John
f. SeaTles, its secretary and treasurer.
The memory of these gentlemen has
proved to be very bad indeed at times, and
some of the questions asked them by SEN
atOr LeXow, chairman of the investigating
committee, have been answered with great
reluctance. From the evidence thus far
brought out il appears that when the great
trust was organized fifteen refineries in all
were bought and their capital stock was
turned into the pool at figures far above its
actual value. Seven refineries have been
closed, reducing the number now in actual
operation to eight. The consolidation
threw from 5000 to 5000 men out of en-
ployment in the city of Brooklyn, and they
had to seek work elsewhere. The trust
refnes l,200,000 tons of the l,500, 900
tons of sugar used in the country, and
it controls the price of surgar through
out the United States. The price is con-
trolled, according to Mr.. Searles, "by fix
ing such low prices that we undersell our
competitors" In other words, wherever
competition shows itself it is crowded to
the wall by underselling in that particular
locality.
The trust is now reaping a profit of
100000 annually on capitalization OF
$75, 100000, one-half of which is water.
Mr.. Havemeyer admitted that, under the
operations of the trust, sugar has cost con-
sumers throughout the country "three-
eighths of a cent more on every pound they
ate" than it would have done if free com
petition had existed. This would amount,
he said, in the aggregate, "close to $25,.
100000 for the three years" "And you
intend to keep your hold ON the American

Hero OF YaIu Commits Suicide.

. Capt. Philo NJ. McGiffen, 81, committed
suicide yesterday at the postgraduate hos
pital in New York city by shooting through
the head. He was graduate of the naval
academy at Annapolis, but resigned from
the service of the United States TO estab-
lish a naval training school for the Chi
nese government. When the China Japan
war broke out he took command of the
battleship Chen Yuen, which was in the
great naval battle of the Yalu. This bat
tie was of interest to the whole world as it
was the first time that modern battleships
had been in actual engagement. The
Chen Yuen was hit over 400 times but was
still able to fight when the japanese with
drew, after disabling large part of the
Chinese navy. McGiffen's eyebrows and
hair were burned off, his ear drums were
split by conclusion, a big splinter was
driven into his hip, and he was shot in the
head and sustained other wounds, but he
never stopped fighting, He returned to
this country to recuperate, and few
months ago began to show signs of men
tai arrangement, due, no doubt, to the
great strain to which he was subject dur
ing the fight.

Representatives of the hosiery and under
wear manufacturing concerns of the coun-
try met at New York Saturday and formed
a national association, with A. B. Valen-
tine of Bennington as president, There
was a general agreement to the effect that
the Wilson bill provisions were not enforc-
ed. Under it there is no specific duty on
knit goods, but there is an ad valorem duty
of 80 per cent. This has enabled manu-
facturers in Europe and their confederates
in America to ship enormous quantities of
goods here at an undervaluatiOn, and thus
not only defraud the American government,
but injure the domestic manufacturer and
swinde the consumer. 1t is estimated that
the government has been cheated out of
S15, 100000 to S25, ,OO0,0 900 year, and the
object of this association is to put an end
to this fraud. The cooperation of the fed
eral authorities will be enlisted to secure a
rigorous enforcement of the revenue laws.

Frank c. Partridge is slated for first
assistant secretary of state under the Nc
Kinley administration, according 10 a reli-
able authority at Washington. Mr.. Par
fridge is a Nermonter who has a notable
record for one Of his years. He was born
in East Middlebury in 1861, graduated
from Miidlebury High school in ~, and
from Amherst college in 81, being presi-
dent Of his class, and in 81 from Colum-
bia law school. He held important posi-
tions at Proctor, including that of town
clerk, and treasurer of the Vermont Mar
bic company, and went to Washington as
private secretary to Senator Proctor when
the latter was secretary of war. He was
appointed solicitor to the department of
state TO succeed the late Walker Blaine,
son of James G. Blaine, and in 1898 was
sent to Venezuela as United States minis
ter. Both in Washington and Venezuela
Mr., Partridge created favorable impress
sion. His legal qualifications are of a
high order, and in going into the state de-
partment he will have the advantage of fa-
miliarity with the diplomatic service and
the routine of diplomacy. Mr. Rockhill,
the present first assistant secretary of state,
who is Republican, will go into the diplo-
matte service, probably as minister to Chi
ma or Japan.
