Dun's Report of Trade.

Duu's Review of Trade says: "The
certainty that the Spanish Atlantic fleet
is imprisoned and powerless to do harm
has helped to make the tone of markets
confident. Every step Of progress during
the week which has looked toward an early
termination of the struggle has been re-
Elected in the market and IN lower rates
for money. All industries have felt the
uplifting influence. In finances the grow
ing anxiety to lend ON even long exchange
at low rates in place of shipments OF gold
to this country, begins to accumulate
standing credit in favor of the United
States. A stronger situation it would be
difficult to describe. Men have been
buying and selling stocks with some
blindness, though the course of events
has all the time warranted a higher mar
ket. Other countries have yet to pay IN
some way an enormous balance to the
United States on merchandise transac-
tons. Men talk as if wheat had gone
down out of sight, but the collapse of
May speculation has only made it more
evident that the outside world requires
nearly If not quite all the wheat this coun-
try can spare. Last week Atlantic eX-

cifc exports were 253, 213, against 1852

has already been exported, and almost
2OO,O0O,000 bushels of corn, 4,134, 800

EleDhaut Kills a Man.

When Wallace Brothers circus arrived
in Racine and unloaded three elephants at
the Fourteenth street crossing of the CHI
go, Milwaukee and st. Paul Railway,
Nero, enc of the big animals, became ugly
and the trainer, named Joseph Anderson,
in order to bring the animal to obedience,
hooked him with the instrument he car
ried for that purpose. Quick as hasa
the elephant wound his trunk around An
lerson's body and threw him with fright
full force against a fence, and then ran
his tusks through the mans abdomen and
disemboweled him. Anderson was in 4
horribly mangled condition before the ee-
plant had spent half of his anger, and the
large crowd of people who witnessed the
shocking accident became pan!c-str1cken
and retreated to a safe distance. The
other elephants ran up and down the
street trumpeting all the while and Gre

ed to touch or even approach the bleeding
body of the trainer until some time after,
when the elephants We're sonle distance
away. Then Henry Reed, one Of the CIR
Gus men, after some difficulty, captured
Nero" and he was taken to the circus
grounds and chained down.

William Streeter, former employe in
the State prison, was, on his own applica-
ton, arraigned before Judge Barney at
Juneau and pleaded guilty to the charge
preferred by Warden Roberts of the State
prison of attempting 10 sn1uggle letters
written by prisoners. Streeter appeared
in court and pleaded guilty, but asked for
clemency on the ground that tie losing of
his position in the prison was great pun
ishment alone. Judge Barney fined him
$40 and costs, which were paid. The max
imum penalty for the offe1rse is $500 fine,
or two years imprisonment, or both.

War Department Summarizes Work
Done Since War Began.

The War Department has caused to be
published extracts from it's various bu-
reaus which give resume of the work
done and the results accomplished since
war was declared against Spain. The
object of the publication is to answer the
critics of the department who charge that
the army is unequipped and not ready to
go to the front because Of the dilatory
and unbusinesslike methods of the officials
at Washington. The contracts made for
transportation, the ordnance ordered to
be manufactured, the rations furnished,
the operation of the engineer corps, and
the records of all classes Of work neces-
sary for equipping an army are set forth
In detail to prove it is always easy to find
fault and that criticism is often strongest
when made through ignorance. The de-
partment has also made public dispatch
from Gen. II. V. Boynton, president Of
the Chickamauga Park Commission, sue
cessfully refuting the widespread charge
that Camp Thomas is unhealthy, and that
the troops are suffering for food, clothing
and good water.
