of the Philippines.

OA EnAlippihSss
 Washington, Aug. 21.--Among the war officials the terms of the equalization of Manila as cabled by General Merritt is topic of extended discussion. No light has been thrown upon the terms by General Merritt He cabled the terms himself, expecting probably to forward by mail the construction placed upon them by the American and Spanish officers at Manila. It can be said authoritatively that the president is quite satisfied with the terms as made by General Merritt and Admiral Dewey Their instructions afforded them considerable latitude for individ- uality of action, the president feeling confident that they would secure the best possible terms. That they have done so, he is certain.
 It is pointed out that the terms of the equalization of Manila can have but lit- tie effect upon the action of the Paris peace commission in any event. The protocol, as signed by the accredited representatives of the governments of the United States and Spain, provides for the cession of the city, bay and harbor of Manila to the United States and leaves to the peace commission to determine the disposition and govern ment of the Philippine islands. Wheth- CT, therefore, Spain is to retain her sov- ereignty over the islands is a question to be decided by the Paris commission. The action of the commission is cir cumscribed by the provisions of the protocol, while the terms of the capitu- lation of Manila, it is suggested, can have very little more serious effect up- on the commissions work than those of the surrender of Santiago.

 Madrid, Aug. 21.-9 a. m.-In the course of an interview last night with member of the cabinet by a represen- tatiVe Of the press the minister said England had presented a note to Spain asking for explanations on the subject of the Notifications erecting by order of Spain near Gibraltar, which, the note declares, are unjustif1ed in view of the good relations existing between the two countries.
 London, Aug. 22.-The Daily Mails Madrid correspondent says: Englands remonstrance against the erection of Notifications in course of building at Sierra Carbonera, opposite Gibraltar, was the result of a little diplomatic skirmish. Some time ago England of fered Spain her good offices in the American conflict. Spain refused and it is supposed that England resented this because shortly afterward she sent the Madrid government a note contain ing questions regarding the fortifica- tions and intimating that they were al menace to Gibraltar Spain answered that she could likewise consider the fortificatfon as a menace to the neigh boring Spanish territory and sustained the right of every nation to build it's defences on it's frontiers. This, Spain declared, had been done on great scale in the Philippines without France pro- testing. There the matter rests.

REVIEW OF TRADE
Business Has Been Little Affected

vote before borrowing, the volume Of
business through clearing houses is SIS per
cent. larger than last year and 154 per
cent. larger than in 1892. While political
doubts may count for much, they can only
have prevented growth Of business which
might have been much more than has been
realized. Failure returns for October arc
curiously puZzling because, while the small
failures compare remarkably well with
those Of previous years, and also the fall
ures Of 100000 or more in about two-thirds
OF the business classes, there were large
failures In few branches, not generally
due to present business conditions. which
made the aggregate sf40OO,OOO but neither
the Sawyer wooden failures nor others, ex-
cepting perhaps some in machinery and
boots and shoes and leather, indicate diff
fculties beyond those of the particular con-

ness nor the value Of manufactured prod

New Wonderland Theatcr Building
Is Wrecked-Side Walls Are
Bullying Badly.
Seven Men Meet Instant Death in
Mine Shaft in Pennsyl-
vania.
Results in Three Cars Being
Sent Crushing Upon Them.

Detroit, Mich, Nov. 1.-THE roof of
the new Wonderland theater collapsed
at 1:45 p. M, carrying down the iron
galleries of the structure and a great
mass of scatfolding and debris. Some
25 men were working under the col
lapsed parts of the structure. Scarcely
any of these seem to have escaped in
jury. The bodies of six dead men have
already been recovered. Several others
are fatally injured. The side wall of
the four-story structure is bullying
threateningly and the front of the
building, although still upright, is con-
sidered dangerous. The hospital am
balances are busy carrying away the
dead, and the wrecked theater is sur
rounded by a great crowd of people.
The theater was to have been occupied
by j. II. Moore's Wonderland. The
new building is owned by the Barbour
estate 1t is situated on Monroe av-
enue, adjoining the new Detroit opera
house and opposite the city hall.
Fifteen Certainly Dead.
The names of the dead have not yet
been accurately ascertained, but the
ambulance surgeon says that IS are

The following are thus far reported dead

| C. Cross, O. Mullen, L. Schmidt, August
Saler.
There were al the building at the time
of the collapse eight carpenters, four
masons, ten plumbers and gasftters,
| two electricians and two helpers, four
painters and six laborers.
| Some were struck by great iron grid
ers and rods and dashed downward in
q bleeding mass, others pitched head
long as the supports sank from be
meath their feet, falling four or five
stories and striking upon the iror
debris below.
There was no panic in the Detroi,
opera house adjoining, only smallp or
ton of the matinee audience having
entered
AS nearly as can be ascertained, the
cause of the accident was the removal
OF the temporary wooden braces which
supported the roof. The instant the
last one was taken down the whole
roof caved in with a crash, carrying
everything in the interior of the build
| ing to the basement with it.

Instead of curving around the shaft,
the cars dashed into the switch, which
was open. Price reversed the engine,
but 1T was too late. The cars struck
the head block, smashed it and three
of them toppled down the shaft. About
20 feet from the bottom they struck the
carriage with awful force, completely
wrecking it, and when, after hard
work, the men were extricated, seven
were dead and three were fatally hurt.
The injured were taken to the hos
pital.

Mine Shaft in Pennsylvania.
Willlesbarre, Pa, Nov. 7-Seven men
were killed and three fatally injured at
the Exeter colliery of the Lehigh VAL
ley Coal company at West Pittston,
near here. The accident was due to
the alleged carelessness of Engineer
David Price, who, acting in disobedi-
ence to positive orders, caused three
cars to run into the top Of the shaft.
These cars, loaded and weighing II
tons, fell down the 36O-foot shaft and
crashed with frightful force upon the
carriage carrying ten men. Seven were
almost instantly killed. They are:

Price, in charge of little donkey en-

New Red Ash shaft, several hundred
yards away, to the Exeter breaker.
This track approaches the head of Elk
eter shaft and, at distance of 30 feet
from it, curves gently to the right and
around the shaft to the breaker. AT
the point where this track commenced

of track leading to the head of the
shaft was used for storing crippled
cars. Close to the head of the shaft
it was closed by head block. Prices

Civilian Appointments In The Army

The president has been freely cri-
ticised and censured for giving COM
missions and staff appointments to GER
tain sons of distinguished fathers, and
other gentlemen of no military eXper-
fence. Some appointments of this
sort, induced by political influence,
have no doubt been bad, yet they seem
in number and Importance hardly to
warrant the hue-and-cry that has been
raised over them. Mr.. Russell Harri-
son, Mr.. James G.. Blaine, Jr., and Mr..
John Logan may not have demonstra-
ted as yet that they are men of excep-
tional personal merit, but they won't
swamp an army as big as ours. Mr..
j. ]. Astor's appointment has been
criticised, but there are good grounds
for considering it wise, and fully war
ranted by circumstances. A good
many ornamental young men, whose
interests heretofore have been mainly
in society and sport, have got commits
sions, but the majority of these young
fellows seem likely to make useful
officers. Where so many appointments
were to be made, and so much political
tnt1uenceswas at work in connection
with them, twas not to be expected
that all would be faultless. The more
important ones have been good, and OF
the less important a very large major
ity seem to have been suitable. That
the president should have done much
better was not within the bounds of a
reasonable expectation.-E.S. Martin
in Harper's Weekly.
