WONDERFUL ACTIVITY.
Chief Centers Of Western Trade No
Suffering From Inertia.

Chief Centers of Western Trade No,
Suffering From Inertia.
New York, Sept. 25.-The reports TO
Dun & Co. from different cities disclose
wonderful activity at the chief cen.
ters OF western trade. The iron and
steel trade expands with a rapidity
which throws into the shade all expecta
tions. with a steel famine in Germany
and Great Britain in the market for
10000 tons OF plates. and the American
works are crowded for months ahead.
The deliveries OF boots and shoes have
been about 5000 cases larger than in any
previous year. and $1,000 cases or 10
percent larger than in 1892 to date. Com
pilation from the Shoe and Leather Re-
porter's weekly statements shows ship
ments Of 27o.5S0 cases for three weeks
of September. against 26i, ,22i for tho
same weeks in 1896 The sales are not
as large as usual, though a better grade
of shoes is being demanded, and the re-
tail trade Is more active. There is no
now demand for boots, and some OF the
manufacturers are discharging cutters
The demand for balmorals Is urgent. al
though there is small ordering for spring
delivery Trade in women's shoes is
light, and in calf shoes and boots COM
paratively small
The textile industries are not sharing
thee general Improvement to a full ex-
tent. in part because the heavy decline
In cotton. with large stocks of goods ac-
cumulating, makes the managers of
mills disposed to wait for developments.
and In part because the price of wool is
higher than the mills are at present dis
poosed to pay Print cloths are q shade
lower and also brown drills, and In
some woolen goods. especially ladies'
cloth. prices are slightly reduced.
Failures for the week have been 173 in
the United States, against 209 last year.

Chairman Odell OF the Republican
state committee was interviewed. I'VE
knew all about the affidavits signed by
Colonel Roosevelt" said Mr.. OdelI. "and
we are not in the least worried. The
best judges in the city have had the
subject under consideration all day. and
they are unanimously OF the opinion that
there is nothing in these documents
which Will prevent the nomination and
election OF Colonel Roosevelt. In the
first place, there Is abundant evidence
that Colonel Roosevelt's real residence
was at Oyster Bay. l.. /. Mr.. Roose-
welt paid taxes at Oyster Bay, his house
was there, his servants there, his fam
lily there a considerable part Of the
time. Under the laws OF the state of
New York. assessments cannot be levied
on personal property except where a
nf
home OF Colonel Roosevelt has been
Oyster Bay. though his temporary resi-
dence may have been Washington while
he was assistant secretary of the navy.
The citizens of Washington have no vote
In general elections; hence II is absurd
to argue that Roosevelt intended to lose
his residence and his citizenship in New
York state. 1t should be remembered
that O man never gains or loses a resi-
dence in the service of the government.
All men in the service Of the government.
all men in the army and navy and other
branches, have a right TO go to their
homes and vote or run for office, and
state constitutions do not govern in this
resy ect."
so you are convinced that Mr. Roose-
welt is eligible after a conference ex-
tending through the day, are your" was
asked. Ftt
Yes, and what IL more. we are going
to nominate him, and the people will
elect him the next governor OF the
statc," said Mr.. Odell with emphasis.
Colonel Roosevelt. when seen regard
Ing the matter. did not care to make any
statement. The story, he declared, Of
his not being a resident of New York
state was without foundation.

wooDroRD's RESIGNATION.

Washington. Sept. 2i.-As is the custom
In the case OF an American minister who
had been obliged to retire from
his post at the breaking out of
hosulities, General Stewart l.. Wood
ford has filed his resignation as minister
to Spain. 1t Is believed that 1t will be
six months before the United States
will have occasion to send a minister to
Madrid again. and II General Wood
ford's resignation remains so long un-
acted upon, his status will be merely
nominal. for under the law his salary
ceased after the expiration of so days
from the date he left his post. with the
addition of a sufficient period TO enable
him to return to the United States.

TO SIDE TRACK
:' & ROOSEVELT.
Claim Made That He is no Longer
a Citizen Of the State of New
York--BIack's Supporters.

New York. Sept 24-The supporters
OF Governor Black assert that Colonel
Roosevelt 10 ineligible" TO run as a
candidate for governor of the state at
this time.
They claim to have documentary evil
dence showing that when Roosevelt
was sworn In as assistant secretary OF
the navy he swore to his residence as
Washington. The federal constitution
provides that persons holding office in
the federal government retain their res
idence in the state from which they are
appointed. but when Colonel Roosevelt
resigned his portfolio in the navy de-
partment he retired to private life. AZ
terwards he enlisted In the army. and In
accepting his commission, IL Is stated
that he again swore to his residence
as Washington. 1t is claimed that fur
ther evidence OF the colonel's ineligibility
Is afforded in the fact that he was as
sessed for personal property In the town
OF Oyster Bay, L. l., and later appeared
before the tax commissioners and swore
of the assessment upon the ground that
he was not resident of Oyster Bay, but
was a resident OF Washington.

EIGHT WERE KYLLED.
Two Explosions OF Gas and Firedamp In
a Pennsylvania Mine

Two EXPLOSIONS OF Gas and f1redamp In
Pennsylvania Mine.
Brownsville. Pa, Sept 24.-Seventy
men were entombed Friday in the EN-
pire mine OF Snowden, Gould a. Co, one
fourth Of a mile below town, as the result
OF an explosion of gas. followed by an
other explosion OF firedamp. or the
number entombed all escaped or were
taken out by rescuing parties except
eight. who were killed outright, and three
more or less hurt.
The dead are: John Haiston. Salem
Haiston. Robert Davidson. John Ben
nett. William Pritchard, Henry Hagar,
John Cartwright and James Hall.
The scene Of the'disaster is more than
a mile from the entry. 1t took about 10
minutes for the first load to reach the
outside world. When the little train of
cars emerged a shudder was visible I'm
the crowd. First there came two cars
loaded with coal; then three cars, in
each OF which there were two bodies. In
one there were two brothers, side by side,
John and Salem Haiston. In the others
were Robert Davidson and John Ben
nett, William Pritchard and John Cart
Wagons were In waiting and the bodiea
were taken TO undertaking establish
ments. When the bodies were brought
up from the mine they presented ghast-
ly appearance.
After the first lot OF bodies had been
brought out, the excitement and anxiety
grew more intense. During the entire
afternoon there was a desperate wait.
1t was announced that many men had
come out Of the mine through an aban-
doned entry nearly three miles distant.
This allayed the fears Of many, and as
fast as the men were accounted for to
their friends ard families. rejoicings and
congratulations followed.
At O'Clock last night the last OF the
explorers came out and announced that
there was nothing, living or dead, left
behind In the mine, leaving the list Of
fatalities as given above.

THE CATHOLIC
 AS AN AMERICAN Father Yorke Again Arraigns Himself Against
 BigOtry.
He Lectures Before a Large and En- thusiastic Audience at St.
 Theresa's Church.

Father Yorke, in a lecture delivered last evening before the parishioners of St. Theresa's Church, attempted to draw parallel and a well-defined comparison between the Catholic and Protestant countries and the influence of religion on political history. He began with an ex- haustive discussion of religion generally as allied to government and then broad ened into a disquisition of the present political crisis between the United states and Spain.
 The attitude of Pope Leo in endeavor- ing to induce the latter country to ac- cede to the demands of the Amerlcans by bringing about a settlement or the difficulty without resorting to the nor TOTS of war as the only possible solution was fully explained, and the speaker de- clared il to be directly opposite to the opinion generally held, if not expressed, that his Holiness was leaguing himself with the Spaniards against this country.
 Pope Leo,' said the lecturer, when he proffered his counsel and advice, had no motive of creating an alliance with Spain and against America He foresaw the dire effects of war and simply at tempted to swerve the current of open hostilities toward peace and amieable
 ''The bigots who claim that he is now using his influence on the Spanish nation blessing the troops and influencing the Queen Regent are liars who i'll deserve the name of men: As long as war was brew possibility, Leo, as the representative of peace, did his utmost to avert the in- evitabIe result: but when it became a fact and the President of this country formally declared war, then whatever in huenee he had exerted for peace was brushed aside and the tide of events was allowed to take its course
