QUARTER QUITE SATISFACTORY
Trade Has Gone Along without Sc
rious Setbncks.

New York, April 2.-Bradstreet's says;
A week of rather quieter trade and small
er distribution, due to easily explainable
causes, closes a quarter which has been
eminently satisfactory to nearly all
branches of trade and productive of an un-
precedented business in many favored
lines. The heavy foreign demand for our
products, particularly agricultural staples,
and the domestic movement in most lines
are evidenced by the heavily increased
bank clearings reported for the quarter;
and the effect on the commercial mortal
ity is favorably reflected in a total for the
first three months of 1898 of failures and
liabilities involved smaller than in the cor
responding period for four years past. Cur
rent demand and distribution at the east
have been interfered with by the uncer-
tainties growing out of our unsettled for
eign relations. This has been particularly
manifest in a most pronounced indisposi-
ton on the part of buyers to anticipate flu
ture wants, and some cancellation of or
ders for wooden goods are attributed di-
rectly to this cause. The outlook is for a
heavy crop of wheat in the state of Wash
ington this year. bodybuilding and iron
manufacturing are reported active in the
Pacific northwest. The price situation i!
on the whole quite encouraging this week
oats, flour, print cloths and hides being
the most prominent among the decreases
mentioned; while wheat, corn, lard, cof
fee, cotton and sugar are higher, and thu
list of staples unchanged in price appear
the most numerous.

VIEWS OF THE LONDON TIMES,
If Spain Is Ordered to Leave Cuba
She VIII Fight.

London, April 5.-The Madrid CORE
spondent of the Times says: SPANS re-
ply to the American proposals is reported
to have done little or nothing toward re-
Taxing the intentions of the United States.
The chances of an amicable settlement
are more remote than ever, and most
Spanish minds are prepared for the worst.
President Mckinley, we learn, may or
may not send one sharp ultimatum as a
dernier resort. If he does, and the ulti-
matum requires the evacuation of Cuba
by the Spanish troops, everything goes to
show it may as well be left unwritten. II
the worst happens it is obvious that Spain
will 90 to war with the firm conviction
that she worked from first to last in the
legitimate interests of peace, making ev
cry concession fairly compatible with ma
tional dignity.

TELLS OF THE LATEST STRIKES.
Ex-Mayor Wood of Seattle Completes
Long Trip.

Seattle, April 2.-Ex-M Mayor William D.
Wood has arrived here from the lower Yu-
kon, having made trip of over 1900 miles
over ice and snow with dog team, with
the thermometer ranging from 10 to 90 de-
grees below zero. November II MIR. Wood
and II. w. Carr started up the Yukon
from the mouth of the Tanana river. They
stopped at Fort Yukon and Circle City
several days and arrived at Dawson Feb
ruary II. On February "a they started
from Dawson to this city. Two days out
from Dawson they met the Canadian
mounted police with large amount of
mail, which has been eagerly expected at
Dawson. Mr. Wood says that from in
vestigation made by him he estimates the
spring cleanup in the Klondike district
will run between $lO,O0O,OOO and $l5 ,O00,-
600. The greatest sensation of the win
ter at Dawson has been the discovery of
coarse gold on the hillsides between Bo-
nanza and Eldorado and between the Big
and Little Skookum gulches. The largest
nugget so far found. 1886, was found on
this high ground. Miners seem at loss
to account for this deposit on ground that
is from 200 to 300 feet above the bedrock
of adjacent creeks. 1t is not yet known
whether such deposits are general or mere
ly olcal in this instance.

Forty floating submarine mines were

Wednesday night by the Spanish govern
ment This information comes from Off
cial sources and is absolutely correct. The
mines contain sufficient force there to par
alyze the biggest ships afoat
There is great enthusiasm among the
Spaniards here and thousands are enter
ing the battalions of volunteers. The
Spaniards say they prefer to fight great
nation to a small one, as they would rath-
er die "as heroes than live towards"
They add that Spain has always had
the protection of special providence in
great conflicts. In spite of this seemingly
brave shouting, many have already with
drawn their money from the Bank Of
Spain.

successfully by recognizing the Monroe
doctrine, which will be impolitic. a ru-
NOR is current here that Emperor Will
liam first preached the idea of papal me
diation and was warmly seconded by Au-
stria. The solution the vatican proposes
is an armistice to save the Spanish troops
during the rainy season, allay excitement
on both sides, and prepare the way for
Cuban independence in the autumn.
Spain is agreeable to this, but there is lit
tie hope that the Cuban insurgents or
their American sympathizers will accede
to the proposal
british Papers Look for War.
London, April 5.-The Times says edi-
torially: at is to be supposed that Presi-
dent Mckinley gave some encouragement
to the idea of papal mediation, but found
the country not likely to accept it. The
truth is, mediation and arbitration are
very beautiful theoretically, but very diff
ficult in practice, and the differences be-
tween Spain and the United States are
too great and too substantial to be treat
ed by that rosewater method"
The general drift of the editorials in the
morning papers is that, however desirable
peace may be, there is little hope left that
the pope will succeed, as the insurgents
are not likely to consent to an armistice
All the forecasts of President Mckinley
message regard it as rather warlike.

JOINT OFFER OF MEDIATION
REFUSAL OF GREAT BRITAIN.
Project Distinctly of Spanish Origin
Financial Reasons Seem to Have
Actuated France and Domestic
Reasons Austrin-Move Must He
Made Quickly.

London, April 5.-The movement of the
powers OF Europe for joint offer of me
diation between the United States and
Spain has received severe and probably
fatal rebuff in the form of definite re-
fusal upon the part of Great Britain to
participate in it. The project of media
ton is distinctively of Spanish origin. The
tenor of the communication was to the
effect that European interests are threat
ened by what the Spaniards term the
"pretensions of the United States for the
right to interfere in colonial matters.
France, not Austria, was the prime mover
in the suggested mediation. Great Brit
aims answer to the communica ton was in
subsistence that the "Criban question did
not concern her." Financial reasons
seem to have actuated France even more
than dynastic interests affected Emperor
Francis Joseph. Emperor William is
known to be lukewarm in the matter. 1t
is still unknown whether the continental
powers will finally offer mediation.

doubtful if the United States, at the
pope's word, will consent to have fat
