DUN'S TRADE REVIEW.
It's Report on the Months Business
Briefly Summarized.

It's Report on the Months Business
Briefly Summarized.
r. G.. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of
trade says: '"The first month of the new
year has brought rather more increase in
business, but less Improvement in prices,
than was expected. With payments
through clearing house 7.3 per cent larger
than in 1892, and probably the largest
ever known in any month; with railroad
earnings ILL., per cent larger than the
best of past years, the fact that prices are
very low only shows more clearly the in
crease in quantities of products sold. The
settlement of wages ON 10 per cent ad-
vance April 1 for 100000 coal miners of
the central region, with other changes,
viii tend toward larger demand for pro-
ducts of all kinds, though also toward
some increase in cost of manufacture.
Wheat has been conspicuous, rising 8
cents for the week, with SIS cents for
May options. Cotton has risen 1-16 cent,
notwithstanding the strikes in Eastern
mills and the official report of a decrease
of 1O.5 per cent in British exports of cot
ton goods last year. The wooden manu-
facture is doing WE'LL fine worsted goods
having opened at an advance OF 20 per
cent of last year. Sales at three of the
chief markets have been $3.50, 100 pounds,
and for four weeks, 80, 421 ,07O, of which
q 1867, 720 were domestic, against &c.
547 600 last year, of which 23,397 300
were domestic. Failures for the week
have been 342 in the United States,
against 331 last year, and "a in Canada,
against 81 last year,

n,aosed To Danish Dynasty.

SfDnOSed
-Four hundred thousand Greeks, dis
gusted with the treachery, cowardlce and
bad faith of the Danish dynasty, which
by grace of the concert of the powers,
rules are organizing to depose Ning
George and establish Hellenic repub-
lie. Over 100 swarthy exiles from the
@Peloponesus have met and formed New
York branch of the world-spread society
Of Hellenes. whose now avowed object Is
the deposition of the reigning family.
When the question of the recent Greco
Turkish war was first mooted, King
George found his warmest support III the
great Pan-Hellenic society, Ethnlke
Eteria Hellenikos-a secret organization
to which Greeks the world over acknowi-
edge fealty. 1t was this same Pan-Hel-
lenic society which, when the cowarclce
of Prince George had become apparent
to all the world overthrow the Govern
ment and established the leading radical
of Greece, Smolenski, as premier. This
movement comprehends nothing else than
the establishment of a Pan-Hellenic re-
public said one of the principal Greek
merchants of New York. Greeks the
world over are Disguised with the weak
and futile administration of an alien dy-
nasty forced upon them by the European
pow3es. The Ethnike Eteria is tre-
mendously powerful organization. Its
membership numbers nearly 100000 pat
riotic Greeks. In every chapter of this
great organization the declaration of lib
erty and self government has been read
and subscribed to. Preparations are al
ready on foot for the revolution"

GRAIN GOES ABROAD.

Wheat and Corn Exports During 1897
Show a Large Increase.
The monthly statement of the bureau

the exports of wheat during the calendar

100000 over 1896, which itself was q
very heavy export year. The immigra:

ARE FEDERAL RESERVATIONS.
State Courts Have No Jurisdiction in
Federal Buildings.

Armstead Robinson, the colored porter
in the office of Internal Revenue Collector
McCreery at st. Louis, has established a
precedent in the matter of State and Fed
eral jurisdiction. Robinson assaulted
Robert Christian, janitor in the Federal
building, and when arraigned in Judge
Murray's court plea in abatement was
entered by Robinson's lawyer on the
ground that the Federal building is a
United States reservation and the State
has no jurisdiction over offenses commit
ted there. The plea was sustained by
Judge Murray, who said the statute of
1872 gives the United States Government
supreme jurisdiction over such territory.
This relieves Robinson of all fear of pros
ecution, as the Federal statutes provide
for the punishment of murder only, when
committed on Government property.

American Plan as to China.

There is reason to believe that the moral
influence of the United States will sup
port Great Britain i'll her efforts to keep
China open to the commerce of the world,
AYERS the Washington correspondent Of
the New York Herald. The only active
steps which the administration will prob
ably take in the matter will be to enter
into negotiations with Germany respect
ing the treatment Of American ships en-
tering Kiao-Chou and such other ports
in China as may be seized in the future
by Russia or Japan. IF China has leas-
ed Kiao-Chou on the condition that it
shall be opened by Germany as Chinese
port, then it will not be necessary for the
President to take steps in the matter"
said an official of the administration. ''It
will mean that commerce of all nations
will be allowed unrestricted entry thereto.
If, as we believe however, Kiao-Chou
should be leased to Germany without con-
ditions, then Germany will have the right
and will undoubtedly exercise it to put in
operation port and customs regulations
such as are now in force in German home
ports. The United States cannot make
objection to the extension Of such regula-
tions to Kiao-Chou in such an event, for
it will be German soil to all intents and
purposes, as in Hamburg. However, the
administration will expect from Germany
privileges that may be granted by her to
any other nation, and will, therefore, reap
the advantages which Great Britain's at
titude against the shutting of the Chinese
door to the commerce of the world will
give. This is required in accordance with
the articles Of the treaty between Prussia
and the United States"

THROUGH BURNING GASOLINE.
Narrow Escape of a Passenger Train
from Destruction.

A passenger train on the Baltimore and
Ohio Southwestern arriving at Columbus,
Ohio, from Cincinnati narrowly escaped
a confagration as it passed Mount Sterl-
ing, about twenty miles south of Column
bus. The wind, which was blowing hur-
ricane, had blown a barrel of gasoline
from the freight platform to the track.
When the pilot struck it the contents ig-
nited and burning oil was thrown all over
the cars. The flames were put out with
great difficulty, and but for the fact that
the RS were wet from the heavy rain,
the train would have been burned.
