WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW.

New York, Sept B. - Bradstreets
commercial report to-day SAYS:
The advent OF September finds fall trade APP
parently In full swing at the west and north
west, and more reported doing at southern
Mississippi valley points and In the east, but
the volume OF business In woods and dry goods
IN the latter section is rather smaller than ex-
pected. Early reports Of large business doing
during August are confirmed by aggregates OF
monthly bank olearings, which show unprece-
dentedly large totals for that month, little be-
low. indeed, the immense monthly aggregates
az last winter.
The enormous volume OF business In August
usually one of the most inactive months OF the
year, demands attention. Postponement dur
ing the months OF war OF some contracts and
purchases which have not come forward ex-
plains part of the increase, and the strong alb
sorption OF securities explains part, but there
has also been great decline in the average OF
prices for all commodities, so that IL takes a
much larger volume OF business In tons or
bushels TO make up transactions amounting to
a million more than in 1892 IL is therefore,
strictly true that business is larger than In the
very best OF all past years, and yet there u
every prospect Of much further Increase

Camp Wikof. H. l., Sept 7-More
assertions were reported yesterday
from the ranks of the regulars This
is due to the announcement that a por-
ton of the regulars are to be sent
back to Cuba for garrison duty. There
is strong sentiment among the regu-

count of the killing climate there
Gen. Shafter is giving special atten-
ton to the numerous assertions and
the dissatisfaction among the volun-

Give the CnIS Enough.

l know by actual experience, says a
writer in Hoard's Dairyman, that a
calf can be raised on skimmillS, il he
has enough. We have one now, on this
place, that, at four weeks, gets 25
pounds of skimmilk a day, and, be-
sides, all the bright hay 1t wants, which
Is a good deal. And with this liberal
feeding it is a beauty, and as for
growth, as the hired man expresses it,
beats any calf | ever did see" The
trouble with not only calves, but most
young stock is that they do not get
enough. A growing boy will eat more
than grown man, and the growing
calf wants enough, or it will not be a
growing calf.

MURDERED BY A CHINESE
LUNA AT WAIAKEA PLANTATION
FOUND DEAD.
Body Bears Evidence That the Crime
was Committed With a Hoe-Twen-
ty-two Chinese Arrested.

The Mauna Loa brings the news of
u murder at Waiakea plantation, Ha-
waii, on Monday. The victim was Will
liam Buguit, a luna, employed on the
plantation in charge of Chinese. The
murderer is supposed to be one of the
Chinese laborers working under him,
who has disappeared.
Buguit did not return from his work
at the usual time on Monday evening.
This and the actions of the Chinese
aroused suspicion. A search was made
resulting in finding Buguit's body
where it had been left by the muir
derer.
The condition of the body indicated
that the crime was committed with a
hoe.
The Chinese were all rounded up.
Twenty-Five of those who had been
working under Buguit were arrested.
One had disappeared and at the time
the Mauna Loa left had not been dis
covered. Those arrested all asserted
that the Chinese who had disappear
ed committed the crime.
No cause for the murder has yet
been discovered. Buguit was a single
man and had been mployed for some
time on the plantation.

THE BOARD Of EDUCATION NNARYH STAYS ISLAND BOYS IN MANILA.
LETTERS FROM DAHLSTROM AND
MURRAY.
The Latter Now in the Nebraska Reg
iment-Dahlstrom Describes the
Disarming of Spanish Soldiers.

Alfred Dahlstrom of Company NJ,
Second Oregon, writes an interesting
letter from Manila to Otto \. Berndt.
Speaking of the disarming of the
Spanish soldiers, he says: The Spanish
soldiers were glad to lay down their
arms. We received the arms and ann
munition from the soldiers one by
one. Each wore smile as he handed
us his outfit. They would hardly wait
till their turn came to deliver up their
arms. The disarming took place in the
embrasure of one of the gates of the
heavy wall surrounding old Manila.
And by the way this wall is one of
the wonders of this place. 1t is thick
and massive and has four gates. These
are protected by draw bridges and
moat or canal runs round the wall,
and beyond this a heavy embanllment
with guns and another canal or river
outside this. 1t is a wonderful forti-
ficaton. In the old town the inhabi-
tants are principally Spanish and ma
tives. In the new town there are
more foreigners and the place is more
up to date. The Americans and the
Spanish are getting along very well
together.
When we entered the old town on
August 18th, the place looked empty.
The stores and most of the houses
were closed up, their contents having
been removed before we entered. The
Spanish families had moved away. As
soon as the American soldiers were in
possession they began to move back.
| have been told by well-to-do Span
sh families that the night after the
capture of the city was the first one
in which they had slept in safety for
| months.
Many of the boys are anxious to 90
home. The place is not very healthy
and many of the boys are homesick.
For my part. | like the place, only it
! is little too warm. | would like to
stay here a little longer, but not in
the army.
If you hear any reports that the Or
egon and California troops raided the
stores in Cavite when they landed You
may rest assured it is untrue. There
was nothing left when we got there:
there could not be very we'll, for the
insurgents had been there FOR months

VILE REMAIN AT INDEPENDENCE
PARK
Contract for the Property Until 1901
and Sewerage to be Made.

Senator John Wright has just clos
ed a contract with the military au-
thorites by which they secure the use
of Independence Park and Pavilion un-
til 1901. 4 survey of the property is
being made with a view to putting in
n thorough drainage and sewerage
system. When this is done it is the
opinion of the army medical authori-
ties that the location, all the elements
of convenience. air currents and also
healthfulness being considered, is one
of the best that could be secured. 1t
is so located with relation to the
mouth of Manoa valley that there is
always a good breeze when the trade
winds are blowing. and even when the
wind is in the south it gets constant
movement of air. In this respect,
which is considered an important one,
the location is better than many 9th
ers that have been proposed, in the
opinion of the medical department.
Thorough drainage and sewerage,
which Senator Wright is informed it
is intended to put in at once, will, it
is said, remove the only other obiec-
tion that is urged against it.
An additional building 100 by 40
feet has already been contracted for
Senator Wright is given to under
stand that it is the intention to make
of it a permanent military hospital
BY the terms of his contract with the
military authorities, they have the
right to surrender the property on
giving two months notice.

There are two bands in the Wash

which by the way is one of the best
remained behind with the first and the
