or Business in the United States IAN In
crease in Business But No Improvement
in Prices Noted.
New YORK, Jan. Or. G. Dun &
Co. Weekly Review of Trade Saturday
says:
The first month of the new year has
brought rather more increase in bust
ness but less improvement in prices
than was expected With payments
through clearing houses 7.3 per cent.
larger than in 1892, and probably the
largest ever known in any month,
with railroad earnings 11.2 per cent.
larger than the best of past wears,
the fact that prices are very low only
shows more clearly the increase in
quantities of products sold. Nor is
there any disposition to refuse orders,
even at present prices; indeed, the
competition of manufacturers seeking
orders alone prevents a rise. Most
of them have all they can manage,
many working night and day, and
one great steel concern running on
Sunday, but the works not yet filed
with orders are seeking contracts at
as low prices as have ever been made,
indicating that even these are not en-
tirely, Improbable. The settlement
of wages on a 10 per cent. advance in
April for 200 600 coal miners of the
central region, with other changes,
will tend toward larger demand for
products of all kinds, though also to-
ward some increase in the cost of man
ufacture.
Wheat has been conspicuous, raising
5 cents for the week. with SIS cents
for May options. Western receipts
have been 10000. O53 bushels in four
weeks, against 6,O45, 712 last year, but
Atlantic exports have been II, 0O3 S2S
bushels in four weeks against 7,103,-
GA last year, and Pacific eX-
ports, without Tacoma, for the week
were 4,105, 5S3 bushels, against 8, 454, =
995 bushels last year. So heavy an out
60 with wheat over 81 per bushel, and
with corn exports for the four weeks
equaling the extraordinary movement
Of last year, disclOses the strength of
foreign demand even better than cur
rent accounts of disappointing ship
ments from Argentina and poor pros
poets in Russian. Cotton has risen a
sixteenth, Notwithstanding the strikes
in eastern mills and the official report
of a decrease Of 1O.5 per cent in British
exports of cotton goods last year.
The iron manufacturer is getting
larger orders for finished products,
which crowd many works almost be-
yOnd their capacity, although some
others are still in the market and keep
ing prices down. Pig iron is steady,
except that Bessemer at Pittsburgh
is 10 cents lower, the output last
year being officially reported as
1862, $50 tons, and the consump-
ton in this country, unsold stocks
considered, 1925, 1888 tons against 9,6O1,-
4O4 in the largest previous year, which
was 1895, and 1894, O32 tons in 1892.
Failures for the week have been 342
in the United States against 331 last
year, and 81 in Canada against 81. last
year.

PASTOR FAvoRs SALOONS.
Refuses to Join League for suppressing
the Liquor Traffic.

Springfield. O., March n.-Rev. A.
Eismann. pastor of the Evangelical
Protestant church at Marion. o., took
a remarkable stand in regard TO the
saloon traffic. Being urgently solicited
TO join the anti-saloon league, he said
he was not disposed to Join the league
and was not opposed TO the saloon. In
defense Of his position. he asserted that
his church is not opposed TO saloons,
neither Is the Evangelical Protestant
synod OF North America. on this point
he said:
'The saloon is a legalized institution,
and a law-abidiug citizen ought TO
stand by the law. An additional rea-
son is that the saloon is a temptation
yet we cannot take away temptation
in this world, but should overcome it.
For this reason our preaching is not as
much directed against the saloon keep
er as against his customers Our church
does not believe in drunkenness, but
temperance. ] do not preach, however,
that drunkards shall not inherit the
kingdom of heaven. / refer to Colos-
SLAMS ii, 1911; Matthew XIV, IL. and
Timothy iv., IA. Those who preach
prohibition should dismiss those unruly
members from the church instead of
retaining them in full membership, and
by that means purge the church OF it's
sinners"

TRIED TO BEAT A BANK.
Arrest In Chicago of B. II. Barnett of In
dianapolis.


Chicago, March 14.-B. r. Barnett of
Indianapolis, alias Charles p. Mead, was
arrested while attempting to swindle
the First National bank Of this city.
Early in the day. Barnett beat the
bank out Of s400, and 1t was while max
ing an effort to repeat the trick for
$1,000 that he was caught. He called
at the bank and represented himself as
Charles p. Mead travelling salesman
from the firm of William A. Durbin &
Son OF Cincinnati. He asked permis-
sion to open an account and deposited
a draft for $500, drawn by the La Fa-
yette National bank of Cincinnati on
the Chase National bank of New York.
Later in the morning he checked out
$400. which was paid to him without
question.
Later in the day he deposited a draft
similar to the first. with the exception
that it called for $500. Then he pre-
sented a check for 81 900. His manner
of doing business looked suspicious to
the clerk, and asking Barnett to wait
a moment, he notified President Nick
erson of the bank, who called up Gin
cinnati by telephone and was told that
there was no firm there by the name
of Durbin & Son. He then called off,

DIRECT FROM SKAGUAY.
Returned Argonaut Tells Story of Trials

Chippewa Falls, Wis, March 14.-D.
o. Fisher of Stikeen river, Alaska,
passed through Chippewa Falls on his
way to Chicago He comes direct from
Skaguay, where, he says, the people are
dying off by the tens. The situation
there was something appalling. owing
to the crowded condition of the city.
Spinal meningitis had caused the larg-
est number of deaths there during the
fortnight before he left. 1t took the
victim suddenly, and death often re-
suited in less than twelve hours.
Hundreds of people reached Skaguay,
Mr.. Fisher says, with their resources
exhausted, and as they were without
funds the steamship companies would
not bring them back. Mr.. Fisher says
1t will require at least a year to take
over the merchandise and freight now
at Skaguay waiting for spring to open
up. At Skaguay a large proportion of
the population was without money or
means, all anxious to get back to the
United States

DISPATCH FROM SAMPSON.
Alleged Important Cipher Message to
Navy Department.

Havana. March H.-Captain Sampson
has sent an extensive cipher dispatch
to the navy department. 1t is stated
by one who is in a position to know
that the dispatch was of considerable
Importance, and will result in develop
ments in the near future. Asked
whether ii meant that the report will
be made very soon, the gentleman
quoted replied that II was impossible
to say more than he had. He did add.
however, that several important, though
not sensational, developments will be
made in Havana soon.
The same gentleman cited as proof
that Spanish and American divers are
working along the same lines and are
in accord the fact that Spanish and
American divers went together TO the
bottom of the harbor and brought 20
the surface a sack of mud from under
the larger forward magazine.

mo MESSAGE ON CUBA
President Will Not Communicate
with Congress
ON SUBJECT OF INTERVENTION.

The Reasons Are That the Report of the
Naval Court of Inquiry l. Expected to
Make Trouble Enough, and, Besides,
Congress Objects To the Underwriting of
Iionds-New Spanish Minister Presented
To McKinley-Emperor William Talking.
out that the president has laid aside
his Intervention message. There are
two reasons for this: one that the i'm
portance Of the finding OF the inquiry
board will cause plenty OF trouble. The
second is that the original draft Of the
message contemplated the underwrit-
ing by the American government of
$500 000,00 of Cuban purchase bonds.
Congress will not stand for this. A
sufficient number OF congressman have
been interviewed TO reveal this beyond
reasonable doubt. Such a proposition
is proved that Spanish officials blew up
the Maine.
Cuban Consular Reports.
The Cuban consular reports have also
been laid aside for few days and
doubtless will not be sent to congress
until after the report of the naval board
is transmitted. A cabinet official told
a visiting western editor that 1t was the
presidents intentions to take congress
wholly into his confidence before max
ing any important move and that he
would send the naval verdict to con-
gress as soon as he got 1t. There Is lit
tie left for the administration to "ad-
nit" The president has admitted hav-
ing received from the board of inquiry
information that the Maine was blown
up from exterior causes, but the advice
is termed unofficial"
Defense of Pacific Coast.
In making preparations for the pos
sibilitles of the future the navy depart
ment has by no means overlooked the
strategic defense of the Pacific coast.
To guard properly this important sea-
board II has been found necessary to
send an advanced guard some distance
down the southern Pacific ocean. The
battleship Oregon the sister of the In
diana and one Of the most powerful
vessels in the navy, has been selected
for this work. Secretary Long tele-
graphed orders to her commander
through the commandant of the Mare
island navy yard, to leave San Fran
cisco and cruise down the southern
coast. The vessel will report from time
to time by cable to the navy depart
ment and receive such instructions as
ehanses in conditions may warrant.
