THE INDUSTRIAL SITUATION.
Dun's Commercial Report States that
Business Improves.

Dun's Commercial Report States thnt
business Improves.
Dun's Review of Trade takes the fol-
lowing view of the weeks developments:
'Hostilties have lasted long enough to
kill many predictions, if but few Ameri-
cans. The only hindrance of industry has
been due to waiting of buyers who looked
for lower prices. Nothing disheartening
can be seen in the industrial situation,
except the closing Of some cotton mills,
owing to overproduction, and the fall of
print cloths to 81 cents. Cotton has not
risen above 6.37 cents, and many stories
of reduced acreage are current, as a year
ago, but they do not weigh much, in view
of the actual receipts of 1O,5OO00O ba'es.
The sales of wool have been only 1905,
900 pounds at the three chief markets for
two weeks, against II $50, 400 pounds last
year and 11,216,750 pounds in 1892, but
prices are somewhat more firm and there
is more demand for goods, apart from the
large Government orders. The output of
pig iron, pa, 1863 tons weekly, May l,
against 233 ,339 April I, shows practically
no change. Money is easier since the
policy of contraction has ceased, and only

EFFECT ON ORE PRICES.
War Makes but Little Difference to
Iron Miners.

Chairman II. II. Porter of the Mime
sofa Iron Company returned to Chicago,
after trip of inspection. He said the
only marked effect of the war on the ore
market might be favorable, caused by
demand for armor for ironclads. Mr..
Porter said the effect Of the movement
for lower ore carrying rates from the
mines had been to cancel Duluth and
iron range plans for 100000 worth of
improvements, and that other plans would
be set aside. The effect Of lower freights,
he said, would inevitably be to cheaper
the cost at the furnace by that much, and
not benefit mine owners,

GENERAL KINGS AUTHORITY,

EDITOR BULLETIN:-In re Will
cox-King controversy it would
seem that the sentiment of the
general community we're varied in
the utterances of the learned jurist
of the Police Court some days
since. 1t appears to me, however,
that had Judge Wilcox confined
himself to the facts in the pre-
misses he had done better than to
state what he did not know posi-
lively to be true. How does he
know that Merriam aud Wheeler
have been "white- washed"
Upon inquiry by the under.
signed it appears that General
King has no authority whatever
to order a general court martial of
the offending officers it being left
to the Department Commander so
to do.
What report or recommends
ton General King has made to
headquarters of the martial law
incident remains to be seen.
A Judge may assume a great
many things to be fact but when
he asserts thing as fact he
must be sure that what he is saying.
With all due respect to the court
it would seem that Judge Wilcox
has overstepped the bounds of his
authority in criticising a man be-
fore he is positive of what stand
has been taken.
The utterances Judge Wilcox
on the bench and on the street are
two different things, and when a
man hears the Judicial thunder
rumbling about his ears it Is gen
orally liable to make him warm.
Tho correspondence at present be-
ing carried on would lead one to
believe that King considers him
self attacked without provocation.

Some Japanese Jokes.


The japanese have a keen sense of
humor and their literature abounds in
Witty sayings and funny stories. They
also appreciate the better class of jokes
published in their countries. and many
a bright paragraph and laughter
provoking dialogue is translated from
the American press and reprinted in the
native papers. Japanese Jokes are ar
tistic, subtle an dto be thoroughly en-
toyed must be understood in the orig
inal. A foreigner examining the Japan
csc language and noting Its peculiar
construction and idioms. might think 1t
a rather laborious matter to joke in
diligently in that tongue. For instance
where we ask. How 10 your mother?
the polite japanese would PROFOUND n
query, which, on being literally rem
dered into English. runs as follows:
"Your mother as for honorably well be-
ing tsp Where we say, please speak
louder" he would say, in effect, more
big voice by-means-of deigning to speak
condescend;" and where we might OBJ
serve. 1--WE shall have a thunder
Storm" his remarks, again literally in
terpreted, would be to this effect.
Thunder emitting sound storm to ap-
pears likely to become being is" And
yet the rarest kind of humor and fun
him.
A good example OF Japanese humor
is the story OF two men who were stone
deaf, and who, meeting each other one
morning. INDUCED in the following dia-
logue:
First Deaf Man-Good morning.
Are you going to buy sake (some-
thing to drink?
Second Deaf Mani am going to
buy sake.
First Deaf Man-oh. excuse me. I
thought you were going to buy sake.
Neither had heard or understood n
syllable OF what the other was saying.
The story of an illiterate dog Is
told plainly by one who was bitten:

time of 1t for listening to you"
Indeed. How SOP"
"A European dog began barking
and flying at me as 1 was coming
late last night So struck my
olinched fist out toward him, and
Just look how l got bitten"

who had not yet learned Japanese
writing"
