New York. April S.-Bradstreet's tomor-
row Will say:
A sensible quieting Of demand for staple
goods is perceptible in the various detail
ed trade reports coming to hand this
week. At the east. the drift Of matters
affecting our foreign relations has been
such as to discourage new business, but
this tendency has been considerably
accumulated by untimely cold weather
which has checked the usual Easter de-
mand TO a considerable extent. Reports
from the west are that the heavy rush
of spring business is about over and that
orders coming in now are Of a fiHing-in
character. Here. again. reports Of I'M
seasonable weather are met with. A fair
" good business is reported at the south,
but = slight check TO our exps-t trade Is
reported, growing out of the raising 81
freight and insurance rates consequent
on the disturbed foreign outlook Frost
IS reported TO have done considerable
damage to the peach and other fruit crops
OF the south and to early planted tobacco.
a fairly satisfactory trade is reported
at the northwest. Lake navigation is now
open, and anticipation is that a prosper

Rather less activity IS noted in most
OF the couutry's great staples. Cotton
goods have moved fairly we'll. ginghams

The Equitable Life's Annual Statement.

The annual statement of the Equita-
BILE Life Assurance society, of the Unit
ed States. published today, shows the
prosperity of the company. Its bust
ness has increased, its affairs have been
economically conducted, and its surplus
has grown to $50, SAB, l74.S4. This sur
plus is ascertained by the New York in
surance department, on the standard
which assumes that the company will
earn 4 per cent on its assets throughout
the future. but the advantage of the
Equitable is that on the more eXacting
assumption that the prevailing rate OF
interest may be as low as 3 per recent, it
still has a surplus of over 500, DOC, 600. In
this particular of strength the Equita-
BILE seems to be unique. After paying
to its policy holders, during 1897, $2l,-
l06, 3l4. IA, the company has increased
it's assets to 1896, SIG, 30S. 04. AS life in.
surance policies generally run many
years into the future, financial strength
and conservative management are a nee
essity in the company issuing them, ant
in this respect the Equitable Life Assur
ance society stands first. That it il
widely appreciated is shown by the fac
that it's outstanding assurances amour
to $95l, 165, 1897.

Perilous Times in France.

France is facing a crisis in its history
as u republic, which will thoroughly
test it's stability. And that test grows
out of the trial of NJ. lola, the famous
author. for attempting to secure the re-
lease of Dreyfus from life Imprisonment
for alleged treason.
Public opinion on the subject is d.
vided, but the fact that the student ele-
ment of Paris has seen fit to espousc the
cause of the government and declare
Dreyfus guilty, whether he is or not, has
caused a condition of affairs which fore
tells trouble for the nation at large.
The claim made that the French were
entirely too much given to emotions to
be able to maintain a republican form
of government has for the past 20 years
been apparently refnted, but a test of
stability is now being made which from
all indications will determine that qucs-
ton. Another disturbing element is
the army. The personnel Of that force is
composed largely of the classes who
made the bloody scene of 1871 possible,
and the attitude of the regiments at this
time is causing the president much anx-
iety. He fears, should the crucial
moment come. that the soldiers would
.conspire to overthrow the republic in
another attempt to establish $ commun-
istic form of government. In that event
the government would be crushed and
the regime of royalty restored.
Upon the result OF the trial now In
progress depends the future of the re-
public, and the outlook for it can not be
said to be encouraging. Lacking a bal
ance wheel in the shape Of a self-con'
people France is, to say the least
perilous times.

It IL a Wonderful Piece of Carving by an
Iowa Convict.
President Soden Of the Boston Base
ball club was recently presented with .
walking stick OH which appear the
pictures Of every member of the pennant
winners Of last season. The cane is also
adorned at the top with the familiar
countenance Of Manager Frank Selee.
After the Bostons had won the pen
nsnt an admirer Of the. club, who is in
Armosa county Jail, Iowa, started in to
make o present to the president of the
club. His name is Moran. The cane it.

is about N inches. At the tip it is not
more than half an inch. 1t is Of white

Ii HUNG CHANG ON TEA.
How the Celestial Diplomat Referred ths
Question TO Japan,

How the Celestial Diplomat Referred the
Question TO Japan,
Upon the craftsmanship of Ii Hung
Chang will depend in great measure the
solution of the muddled questions now
argued in the far east. His diplomacy
and the strict care that China's grand
old man gives to details are evidenced
in his treatment of a smaller question
that has been submitted by many lead
ing tea merchants in America, among
others being the great house OF Thomas
Martindale & Co. of Philadelphia.
One might think that while the Eu-
ropean dogs of war are baying to be let
loose to tear the Celestial Kingdom into
little bits the minor matter of tea would
escape the notice Of even Lii Hung
Chang. Letters were written to his ex-
oellency recently, of which the one
from Thomas Martindale Il Co. is a
fair sample. 1t incloses advertisements
taken from magazines showing the Of
forts being made by a syndicate to cap
ture this market for Assam and Ceyion
teas to the detriment Of the Chinese and
Japanese product, comparing the meth
DDS employed in the cultivation, manu-
facture and preparation of teas.
The matter concerned the empire OF
Japan as deeply nearly as it did that Of

The coal mining industry of the ter
ritory is becoming of more Importance
right along. In the territory there are
between l,300 and l,50O men actually
employed at good wages and when the
Ell Paso g. Northeastern railroad reaches
the Salado coal fields in Lincoln county
within the next few months, that num-
Der will at once be increased to 1000
and more. The output of coal at pres
ent averages 4,500 tons per day, a great
deal of this going to FL Paso which mar
ket is making greater demands on New
Mexico coal almost daily. Within n
year the output of New Mexico coal Will
be doubled. New Mexico is not crow
ing very much, but the territory is push
ing ahead steadily and solid)y.

Left His Seal Cap and Took . Straw Hat.
Sealskin garments are hard to fluid on
all trains going in Or out Of Canada
since the customs officials have received
orders from the treasury department to
seize all seal garments coming from
across the border.
At Rouse's Point recently q GENTLE
mar from New York going to Montreal
stepped off the train Oh which he was
a passenger and went to q nearby hotel
for breakfast. The proprietor of the ho-
tel, noticing that he wore a sealskin
cap, asked him If he wal aware that If
he took the cap to Canada without q
permit he would have to leave it there.
Just then the bell rang for his train
to start, and he grabbed u hat hanging
on u nearby hook and left his seal cap
at the hotel. When he reached his train,
he was surprised to find that he was
wearing a straw hat. - New York

the energies of statesmen have been bent
to prevent a conflict which promised to
overwhelm the great powers with blood
shed. These efforts have SO far been
successful. but now the horizon is dark
indeed.
War between the United States and
Spain seems very p%robable; in Africa,
France and England are contending for
supremacy, and late dispatches say that
should certain conditions obtain a decla-
ration of war will result. Should these
four nations become engaged in a dead
" conflict the direct result will be TO
plunge the other nations into battle.
J~ealousies and hatreds are fast rushing
events to Il point where human agencies
will be powcrless to prevent one OF the
most sanguinary wars in the worlds
history.
Humanitarians contend that the globe
contains room enough and to spare to
accommodate millions yet unborn. but
history does not bear Jul this position,
and in the past when the known por-
tions of the world became to the least
degree crowded, wars and pestilence
swept away the surplus. Science has
made devastating plaques almost impos-
sible and the only agency, through which
an average peopling of the world can
be maintained, remaining is war. The
present crisis may be averted, and it is
to be hoped that it will, but the newt
able can not be escaped and sooner OF
later nature will assert her power and
the earth will be gotten ready for new
people and new nations.
