WEEKS BUSINESS REVIEWED.
Bradstreat's Says That Generally the Sit
uation Is Most Favorable.

New York, Oct. s.-Bradstreet's says:
With the exception of some parts of the
south where heavy storms and yellow
fever with resulting guarantees check
distribution, very large business ap-
pears to be doing. though complaints
of a narrow margin of profit are well
nigh unanimous. While the bank
clearings of September point to a slight
ly smaller business done the country
over than one year ago. this week s
figures point to a fair gain over last
year and therefore, over all previous
records for this week of the year. The
volume of distribution. as a whole is
well up to or above that reported a year
ago in most sections and therefore far
in advance of recent preceding annual
periods.
At leading eastern markets recently
with business in textiles, particularly
cotton and wooden goods least favora-
bly, situated The general Industrial sit
uation is very favorable one. Marked
activity continues to be feature of the
iron and steel trade, but the immense
rate of production at present, in the
absence of immediate new demands, has
caused a shading of some few grades OF
p.<s iron. and steel billets. Prices of
leading staples as reported to Brad
streets. while showing rather more ir-
regularity, are in the main we'll held.
Business failures are still down to
minimum, numbering 163 for the week
against 166 last week. 237 in this week a
year ago and 23S in 1894.

NEWS AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
Comes as a Terrible Shock to Mrs. McKin.
Iex-Win Attend the Funeral.


Iey-win Attend the Funeral.
Washington. Oct. S.-The news of the
murder of Mrs. McKinIey's brother was
received at the White House just about
the time that the reception to the Epis-
copal council in session here was about
to be brought to a close. Mrs. Mckinley
was receiving with the president during
the evening, and was in her usual spir-
its. The news of her brothers death
was great shock to her. Several pri-
vate dispatches were received at the
White House from members of the fam
lily in Canton in regard to the tragedy.
They were very brief, however and con-
tained little if any additional informa-
tion to that in the press dispatches. The
president made an effort to secure fur
ther facts over the long distance tele-
phone. but this was working so unsat-
isfactorily that there was little reward
for his efforts.
Mrs Mckinley expressed a wish to at
tend the funeral. and accordingly hur-
ried arrangements were made whereby
she will start for Canton shortly after
Z o'clock tonight. The president, Mrs
McKinley's sister (Mrs- Barbour, who
was at the reception last night). the lat
ter's son. and several others viii ac-
company her. Word received here is
that the funeral will be held on Mon
day. The unfortunate event will not in

Settlers Are Apprehensive and Ask for
Protection-Couneil at the Agency.
ST. Paul, Oct. S.-Opinions differ as to
the present status of the trouble with
the Lee.h Lake Indians. but even though
nothing more follows enough has hap
pened to cause northwestern settlers to
feel somewhat unsettled in their homes
for some time to come. There is some
thing of a panic in most OF the small
settlements near Walker. that being
the center of the Leech lake district
and the men in the lumber camps in
that vicinity have quit work and are
either in or on their way to Walker.
The teachers in the Indian schools and
others about the agency have also
thought IL well to change their location
for the present. There was certainly
no battle yesterday. because the troops
are all known to be in Walker.
That the Indians have been made to
suffer many being killed, and that they
have been dispersed is generally ad-
mitted. But this latter fact is looked
upon as a cause for apprehension among
those who have had experience with the
red men. They say that only when he
has been taken prisoner or killed can
the Indian be said to be whipped and
beyond doing harm. Many of these Bear
islanders are outlaws from their tribes
and from the government, and are des-
perate. So long as they are still at
large the people in the vicinity OF Leech
lake insist that their lives and property
are In danger. and they ask ~ protec-
tion to a greater extent than has yet
been given The residents of Cass

forty Indians at the council. among
them Falmouth, the head chief of the
Chippewa tribe, and a few Indians from
Cass Lake. They all protested that they
were for peace and would not fight un-
der the circumstances. But in spite of
this fact they were all in war paint and

No one but the president knows when
these may take place. He summons
three heads of departments, and they

assets so quickly that nothing can be
changed or concealed. Since this system
was adopted, several years ago, no trace
of dishonesty has been found. Those
clerks who get through year without

stroy President Warfield, who was ut
first Professor Stephens best friend. He
cut the ivy that covered various college
buildings, then damaged the chapel or
gan, an instrument he had himself in
duced a manufacturer to present to the
college. He stole all the hymnbooks
the day before the day Of prayer for
colleges and threw them in cistern.
In May last he put tar on the benches,
ON the carpet, on the organ, pulpit and
Bible, causing great loss.
Subsequently Stephens entered the
chapel to smear it with bad eggs. He
put the basket down and went to the
organ, intending to destroy 1t, but there
was a Waterman back Of the organ. He
attacked Stephens and wounded him
with n club, but Stephens escaped. His
purpose was to prevent the use Of the
chapel the next day, baccalaureate Sun
day. He had entered by using key.
This key was recognized as the one
which had been given to him while he
was connected with the college He
had not returned it. This led to his ar
rest.
1t was believed that Stephens had set
fire to Pardee hall. which was destroy
ed last year, and he was asked about
that. He uttered groan and then ad.
mitted his guilt. He said that to get
even with Professor Davidson, whom he
disliked, he went to his classroom in
Pardee hall, piled mattings, chairs and
other articles in heap, SGT them afire
and then went out to gloat over the
burning Of the building. He said he
took unlimited satisfaction in all he did
and the next day walked about the ruins
