IN THE FLowERY KINGDOM.
An Interesting Incident in the Daily
Life of Her Majestic High
ness, the Empress.

Her majesty, Isl An, empress of China,
sat in her palace in the purple forbidden
city, with her brow resting on her thumb
and her index finger pushed up through her
bang. Rousing herself presently from her
profound absorption she beckoned to pea
nut-colOred person plastered up against the
yellow silk tapestry.
Swat him." she said, where is the en-
peror?"
Dash your ignominious slave into a mil
lion atoms, oh, amethyst flower of the
celestial kingdom" he responded, lying fiat
on his stomach before her, but your slave
wotteth not"
''WOt?" she screamed.
No, most purple of our yellOwest lilies
of the Yankee Use Kiang, l do not wot
where the emperor is
And this to me-" she cried.
Most beauteous descendant of all the
gods, your vile slave speaks but the truth,
though he lies here on his very stomach.

Slave, dog, canine, wretch, scum of the
Yellow river, did not tell you what to do?'
Truly, most divine of all the gentler

Aha, then he is dead?"

lapsing to thought, bring on another

ing to close all matters of the admins

MAJ. GEN. WOODS DISCOVERY
Goes on Board Transport About to Sail
and Finds No Provisions Specially
Suitable to Sick Persons.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Nov. 3.-The
United States transport Port Victor
was to have left Wednesday at noon
for the United States with a number of
sick officers and men. Fortunately
lust before the hour fixed for her de-
parture, Gen. Leonard Wood, military
governor of the departmentof Santi-
ago, went on board. To his amazement
he found no provisions specially suit
able to sick persons, and entire lack of
deIicacles and an insutficiency of medi-
cal supplies.
Gen. Wood declares that hereafter he
will pay personal visit to every trans
port before it leaves the harbor. He
thinks it very strange that, after ali
the experience had here in this line,
the medical department is not able to
manage its affairs better, and that the
personal supervision of the command
ing general should be necessary.

DEADwOOD. S. D.. Nov. 3.-FOllowing
a protest sent to Washington against
the retention of Agent Clapp at Pine
Ridge. the Sioux Indians are now pre-
pairing formal charges against Maj.
Clapp and Clerk Pugh. A long council
was held Tuesday night and DISPOSE
ton to act ugly is manifested by some
of the young Sioux. While there is
little fear of an uprising, timid white
settlers near the agency are preparing
to move unless the trouble with the In

NOT MUCH OF A SURPRISE.
Everybody Outside of Spain Must Have I'm
derstOOd That the Philippines Were
Lost TO The Spaniards

LONDON. Nov. 3.-The Vienna CORE.
spOndent of the Times says: THE
Spanish commissioners can not be sur
prised neither can the Spanish govern
ment by Americas decision to take the
Philippines. Possibly the Spanish peo-
pie were not prepared for it and the
commissioners are pretending surprise
so that the government may be better
able to face public opinion. Certainly
everybody outside of Spain must have
understood that the archipelago was
lost to Spain"

Emperor William Visits the sacred Shriue,
the First Christian to Do So Since
the Year 1887.

BERLIN, Nov. emperor Williams
acquisition of plot of land from the
sultan and his handing it to the Catho-
lies is regarded as the final touch in a
long and carefully prepared scheme to
mOllify the centrists Cthe Catholic
party in the reichstag), the chief fea-
ture of which scheme was the venge-
ance taken for the murder of the
Catholic missionaries in China.
Emperor William was the first Chris

the most sacred MahOmmedan shrines.

STATE OF TRADE.
War and Fears OF War Have No Eject
on the Commercial Interests and
Do Not Incroase Failures.

New York, July S-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade will say
tomorrow:
The usual half yearly statement of
failures by branches of business is
peculiarly interesting because 1t shows
that war and fears of war have not
caused increase in commercial disas-
ters. The fiscal year has ended with
financial results shade beyond gen.
eral expectations and the new war
tax begins to increase revenue, not Sc
riously disturbing business in any
line. No reason yet appears to appre-
hend that the war revenue will fall
below expectations.
The cotton crop looks better and the
prospect is reflected in a decline of a
sixteenth in the spot price. The man
ufacturing works at the north are
quite well employed more than usual
during the vacation season and the
demand for goods is somewhat i'm
proving. Abroad the state of the
manufacture does not encourage hopes
of an extraordinary demand for the
raw material while the stocks held by
millers are known to be unusually
large. The south is increasing the
in place of northern mills. There is
no disheartenment in other textile
manufactures and business is good and
growing in silks, bagging, hemp pro-
ducts and linen. The manufacture of
wool hesitates, although distinctly
better demand has appeared during
| the past ten days, because prices at
which western wool is held are too
tol, 60.
emily too high for profitable manufac-
| ture. Sales for the week at the three
chief markets have been only 5000. 900
pounds, of which 2.290, 500 were domes-
tic, against 14,120,500 last year. of
which 6,939,500 were domestic. 1t is
not enough to dismiss the iron indus
try with the bold statement that it is
| using up more iron, even at the slow
est point of the year than ever before.
1t is getting bigger domestic contracts
for agricultural implements and car
materials and also for structural work,
than in any previous year, but espec-
tally for plates, the demand for which
quite over runs the capacity of all
the works and not mainly on govern
ment account. Nevertheless the de-
mand has not pushed prices of mater
ial upward for this is the waiting and
fighting period, and the products of
pig and billets have yet some prob
lens to settle between themselves
Meanwhile no fall in prices appears
but better demand for products with
every expectation that within two
weeks the producing capacity of the
works will be much more fully en-
ployed than it has been for six months
Failures for the week have been 22l
in the United States, against 206 last
wear

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.

New York, July s.-The stock market
today was duh, though the volume Of
transactions somewhat exceeded that of
yesterday. There were still no marked
evidences of outside business and the list
was by no means a broad one, though
many recently inactive stocks were
brought forward into the active list.
There was, however. a steady and quiet
absorption of the standard railroad
stocks without ostentatious effort to ad-
vance prices. The Vanderbilts were con-
spiCuous as was the case yesterday and
the buying especially of New York Cen
trail was large and confident. Pennsyl-
vania also advanced sharply and the
buying was rather more conspicuous than
is usual for this stock in the New York
market. The coalers were an exception
to the strength from the start, not only
on the general depression known to exist
in the anthracite trade. but also on re-
ports of deep cuts in the selling price of
coal and on prospects of a conflict of
rates. In the final hour the bears raid
ed the coalers with the purpose of unset
Ting the advancing tendency in the mar
l;et. Prices in the group crumbled away
without much resistance, Reading first
preferred losing over points, New Jer-
sey Central points and Delaware and
Hudson g This foImidahle break in
prices had little effect in the general list,
scarcely any stock losing over half and a
part of this was recovered before the
close, which was remarkably firm in face
of the slump in the coalers. Total sales
were 23O, 500 shares.
