FINANCE AND TRADE.

The War Cloud Has Had No Disas.
irons Effects as Yet.
New York, April 2.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade says: In
Epite of foreign conditions since the
destruction Of the Maine failures in
three months are smaller than in the
first quarter Of any year since 1885; the
ratio of defaulted liabilities to pay
nents through clearing houses has
been the smallest for that quarter since
1856: the average Of liabilities per firm
In business has been the smallest since
1850, and the average of liabilities per
failure has been lower than ever be-
fore In any quarter. 1t is especially
significant that the failures for less
than 100000, without material de-
crease in number. were 20 per cent
smaller than last year In manufac-
turing, and "a per cent smaller in trad
ing.
The war cloud. which many have in
ferred must have greatly increased
commercial disasters, does not appear
to have any such effect as yet, and
while there Ia some decline in the new
orders for industries, nearly all live
works are covered SO far ahead that
the difference Is not felt. Rates for
money have advanced. and the per
cent which used to be the ruling rate
in active times, again prevails, which
compels many spectators to liquidate
But the imports Of gold go far to pre-
vent any real anxiety.

A TEXAS STREET DUEL.
The Principals Dying and Three theirs
wounded by stray Bullets

The Principals Dying and Three o Tiers
wounded by Stray Bullets.
Waco. Tex. April 2.--W. G. Brann
editor of The Iconoclast. and Captain
NJ. T. Davis met and fought a revolver
duel last evening. The men met on
South Fourth street in front of the
Cotton Belt ticket Office. and after ex-
changing a few words began firing
When the battle was over Brann was
found to be shot in the left lung and in
both feet. Davis was shot through the
right lung and through both arms. The
surgeons say both men are likely to
die.
Trouble has been existing between
the men for a year, and when they met
last evening they lost no time in get
ting out their weapons. About ten
seconds were occupied in the shooting,
at the end of which Brann and Davis
lay bleeding and w. H. Ward, Brann's
business partner was shot through the
right hand, the bones being shattered.
A wild bullet hit Motorman Kennedy
in the knee. Another wild bullet hit
Eugene Kepler in the foot. Kepler and
his partner, Prince, are touring the
world on wager and had just reached
Waco. Brann, who Is too weak to talk,
is probably past surgery, although the
doctors say there is some slight chance
for him. Captain Davis was taken to
the Pacific hotel, and is regarded as
mortaIly wounded, his right lung being
badly lacerated. Both men are bleed
ing internally and are faint.

| SPAIN SAYS She
Is TIRED or TALK.
Has Done All She Can to Pre- vent an
Open Rupture.

Madrid, April /. According to the best
information obtainable to-day, Spain has
definitely resolved not to make any
further concessions to the United States.
The most important comment on the sit.
uation this afternoon Is that of the Min
isterial organ El Liberal, which may be
looked upon as undoubtedly rejecting the
position Of the Spanish Government. The
paper says:
"We have done all we can to remove a
pretext for arupture. II President McKin-
ley refuses our concessions, we, with u
quieJ conscience, will await any trials
which may come and defend our honor and
our rights The entire nation supports
tho Governments. No ono asks whether
the sum collected goes for war ships. 1t
suiiices to know that it will be employed
to rebuff any foreign pressure. Spnin
must no longer live under the continual
menace and unrest Of the past three years.
Even rupture Ia preferable. Interven-
ton ID de facto even now. We desire and
appeal for peace
In an official note published here to-day
the Spanish Government takes bright
view of the relations between Spain and
the United States 1t intimates that an
agreement between the governments will
be reached, including the Maine and recon.
centrodss questions 1t is added this also
means arriving at II durable peace tor Cuba.
CREATED A SENSATION.
Washington, d. c., April Mrs. Har.
riet Blaine Beale, formerly the wife OF
Truxton BeHle, youngest daughte- of tho
late Secretary Blaine, has stirred social
sensation in Washington which eXcites
great attention in the upper ten.
A few evenings ago at select dinner
party at which Alrs. Beale was chaperon
one Of the most conspicuous guests was
Senor Du Bose, Secretary Of the Spanish
Legation. That the talk turned upon the
Cuban situation was not at all surprising.
Washington upper tendon is patriotic,
and before long the discussion went so far
that Secretary Du Bose felt called upon to
enter q protest Then 1t wa, that the sen
sation developed.
Hardly mad Du Bose finished when Mrs.
Beale began her oral assault upon The
young and handsome diploinatist. For
vent patriotism flowed from tho young
lnatron In u torrent of eloquence which no
one attempted to stem. Tine guests listen
cd with mingled apprehension aud de-
light. DuBosc's Castilian blood rose be
fore the vigorous foreign policy declared
by the daughter of the Plumed Knight.
Her language was equally denuncialory
OF the conduct Of Spain As the late Secrr-
tary himself could have uttered. Her
analysis OF the duties Of he United State,
and of President Mckinley contained sug-
ge,tinns not at all complimentary to the
Administration.
