NO RESTRICTION SHOWN
In Any Branch of Business on Ac-
count of War Scare.
MANY LINES Or TRADE STEADILY GAINING.
Enormous Exports Continue-More Gold
Is Coming in From Europe Than Is
Needed-Prices for Pig Iron Very
Strong-Business Failures.

r. G. Dun & Co. $ weekly review of
trade says:
1t is most gratifying that no industry
or branch of business shows any re-
striction or hindrance, but some have
been rapidly gaining for the past week
and month. The railways are gaining
even while spectators are selling their
stocks, and the demand for products for
all the great industries is increasing.
More gold is coming from Europe
than is needed, $40, 900 having
been ordered during the past week and
money markets are nowhere alarmed
or stringent, although reasonably more
cautious.
The country rests assured that its
industries, almost all of its business
and foreign demands for its products
and especially all its resources are be-
yond the reach of any foreign power
and that its honor and foreign interests
are in safe hands.
The greatest of all industries is send
ing grain forward as if there were no
limit to its supply. Exports Of wheat
FL
cluded, against 1868, III last year from
Atlantic and Pacific ports, and for two
weeks 7, 1852, 730 bushels against 3,016,-
SAG bushels last year. Exports of corn,
in spite of smaller yield, have been
7,7O6, ,294 bushels in two weeks against
1886, 500 bushels last year, when they
far surpassed all records. Wheat de-
clined q cents, but corn did not change
during the week. Cotton declined ]
cent, sales of fertilizers indicating a
less reduction of acreage this year than
was expected. Exports of principal
products in February were $61, 634, O9l
in value, with increase over last year
of about so per cent. in bread stuffs,
in cotton 25 per cent. and 25 per cent.
in the aggregate.
The weekly output of pig iron was
22S, 1913 tons February 1, and 234, 43O
tons March /. For four months pro
duction has gained little, but con-
sumption still more, and if prepara-
tions for war last only few weeks
they will add much to the demand.
Other consumption for railroad cars,
IOf VoSS6lS Oh tu0 luhOS, ioi CiONusoAo
and oil pipe lines. for agricultural i'm
plement works and for sheets, is be-
yond precedent, and structural and
rail works are crowded with orders,
though now receiving few.
The minor metals are generally
stronger in demand.
Sales for wool this week have been
the smallest since the week of greatest
alarm in August, 1896, but not because
any mills have stopped work.
Cotton goods have large distribu-
ton, and prices are generally steady,
though in outside dealings. Print
cloths are shade lower. Prints are
in better demand.
The failures for the week have been
24S in the United States, against 25e
last year, and SO in Canada, against 81
last year.

"VERY REMOTE"
Is the Possibility of Settling the Contro-
versy Without War, Says Mckinley.


versy Without War, Says Mckinley.
A Washington special says So
clear is it now to all that sharp work
must soon come that the president
himself, in a private conversation,
throws aside the mask he has been
wearing for the past weeks. He said
to an intimate friend Friday that the
situation is one of gravity, and that in
his opinion the possibility of settling
the controversy with Spain without
war was Every remote"
He said he had had in his possession
for nearly week full information of
the causes which led to the disaster at
Havana, and that the circumstances
are such as to render peaceful negotia-
tions exceedingly difficult. He ad
mitted that the war and navy depart
ments are engaged on work intended
to anticipate the direst result, and
this result he saw little hope of escap-
ing
The president informed this gentle
man that he would send to congress
within the next few days message
which will convey to the public the
findings of the Sampson court Of in
quiry. The president told his visitor
that the Maine was blown up by sub
marine mine under such conditions as
surrounded the disaster with all that
promised the "gravest consequences" !"
He also explained that careful plans
had been mapped out, but they would
be manifeatly improper subjects for
discussion.

PROCTOR WILL SUPPORT WAR.
Senator Back from Cuba Is Not ut AL
Pleased With Wha. He Saw.

Senator Proctor and party have re-
turned from Cuba. The senator says
he has nothing to say just now, but
intimate friends stated that the sena-
tor was in frame of mind to indorse
anything that promised to end the
atrocities in Cuba.
In regard to war prospects he was
non-committal, but did say he would
support Mckinley most heartily in go.
ing to the extreme. In speaking OF
the nti-American feeling in Havana
he grew very indignant and said with
heat
''The day will come, and soon, too,
I think, when those naughty dons
will respect the stars and stripes. :"
Both Senator Proctor and Mr..
Parker is quite stirred over the hor-
rors they witnessed in Cuba. Mr..
Parker thinks that Senator Proctor's
report will have great weight in con-
gress.

GUNS FOR. THE COAST.
All That Can Possibly Re Made Are
Wanted.

Secretary Alger has authorized Cen
eral Flagler, the chief of ordnance, to
make arrangements at once for pro-
curing a large number of rapid fire
guns fo~ seacoast defenses. This action
is taken without waiting for the allot-
ment among the various bureaus of the
war and navy departments of the $780,
900, 900 voted for the national defense.
The secretary felt that there was no
reason for further delaying the neces-
sary steps for the procurement of these
guns, as it was felt there would be no
trouble in arriving at an equitable adj
justment of the money available.
Ever since the battleship Maine was
wrecked in Havana harbor the ordnance
department has been fastening the de-
livery of guns already finished and
making arrangements for the supply of
such additional ones as the officials felt
warranted in ordering without the ad-
ditional funds which have since been
put at their disposal.
The ordnance bureau will take all
the rapid fire guns that can be procured
within reasonable time, and they will
be shipped to the seacoast for fortifica-
tions as rapidly as possibly. They
constitute what is known as the aux
iliary defense Of the Notifications, and
are q material assistance to the big
guns, which are necessarily slower of
movement of firing.
Contracts for the delivery of car
riages for these rapid fire guns have
also been authorized, and will be
shipped to the Notifications as soon as
completed.

PLANS BEING SUBMITTED
To the President to End the Cuban Con-
troversy Without War.

To the President to End the Cuban Con-
troversy Without War.
Projects for the settlement of the
Cuban question are numerous, but
most of them are regarded in official
circles as unworthy of serious consid-
Grafton. One plan, however, has been
presented to the president which has
received the approval in general way
of leading men whose counsels have
weight with the administration, and
there is reason to believe it is the sub
ject of studious reflection in the cabi-
net. The proposed plan gives to Cuba
all ,of-she rights, privileges and immu-
mites enjoyed by Canada, Spain re,
serving to herself only such rights as
England exercises over her colonies.

Until further notice, George D. Loo
mis-. receiver of the Utah Central, will
continue as manager of that line.
] OF course the receivership has not
/ terminated, but now that the taking
of the road by the Western is settled,
it has been agreed that Mr.. LOOMS
shall continue in charge until all legal
formalities have been concluded, and
! perhaps afterward. That. of course, is
purely a matter of speculation.
II is exceedingly difficult 10 get def
mite information concerning the fu-
/ ture Of the Central. One would think
/ the entire Wabash system was in
VOWED, and that peremptory writs of
mandate were about to issue restrain
ing some one from Interfering, instead
Of 80 miles of narrow guage, up hill,
around corners, between snow banks
trackage.
However. the following is true:
Up to date no man, neither Colonel
| Dodge, Receiver Loomis, frank Wad-
leigh, George ". Eeintz, or any other
person connected with the Western has
received any Information concerning
] the transfer of the road from Graft and
Dittmar to the Western, or rather the
officials of the Western, who are all
ready to take it. Neither does any
member of the law firm of Bennett,
Hardness, Howat & Bradley, although
they expect something On the 7th Vi
timo: So one member Of the firm said
last evening. Judge Hardness is in
St Louis and viii not return until the
date mentioned, when something is ex-
pected to drop.
This is also certain. Last night the
connection of Francis z. Shafer freight
agent of the Central and c. E. Stan
ton, auditor, terminated. Today both
these gentlemen are out of a job What
their plans are for the future is not
known, but it Is said that the latter
/ viii be re-engaged in a more clearly
defined position when certain matters
have been adjusted.
Mr.. Skaters retirement is regretted
by all who have known him and by
none more than Receiver Loomis He
has been a most efficient official and
his department of the line has pros
pered through his exertions
So. from all which can be gathered,
it would seem that Mr.. Loomis will
continue with the road. He resigned
his place as chief deputy in the office
OF the county clerk yesterday and it is
presumed that he has other prospects.
Not that Loomis will say anything.
On the contrary He is akin to an
oyster; closed up tight. He resembles
a can in more ways than one. He can
be opened. perhaps. but not by ordi-
nary means. Last night he didn't know
anything. Hadn't heard of the trans
fer of the Utah Central at all; did not
know that Shafer and Stanton were
dismissed, and could not tell to save
his life what their plans were for the
| future. LOOMS didn't know, either.
whether he would manage the road
until the receivership ended, or whether
he would live after the same termi-
nate. Talk about mysteries Why thai
man is entitled to the designation given
| by st. John. the divine in Revelation:
Mystery of Mysteries
An official of the Rio Grande, who for
| certain purposes shall be nameless,
contributed the information given
above, and stated in addition that he
understood Mr. LOOMS would be
given a situation with the Central
when all was over.

and knows what he is talking Of. He
says call-boxes will be placed in nearly
every business house in the city, and
eventually in the residence portion
Among the most important calls are
the police calls, night watch system,
fire alarms and express calls.
The night watch system will not be
hailed with delight by the watchmen
who want to take quiet maps along in
the silent watches of the night By
the plan in use, a business house or
factory employing night watchmen Will
always be protected, and the owner
will know that someone is on duty
there. Every so minutes the Waterman
is required to turn in a signal, which
is registered in the central office, where
a careful record is kept and copy of
the same delivered to the subscriber
the next morning. Should a Waterman
fail to turn in his signal at the proper
time, a policeman is Immediately sent
to the place of business for the pur-
pose of ascertaining the reason why
the alarm was not sent in. It will be
seen that this feature has many beau
ties which viii be appreciated by the
employer and cannot be distasteful to
the alert sentinel.
The police and fire alarms are valu-
able, especially in d city of this kind,
where alarm boxes be5pnging to the
! l.
Simply pushing q button brings out
the department, either police or fire.
If 1t is burglary, the patrol wagon is
there in a minute.
Each box viii have a special call.
This is used as a rule to request the
attendance of the family physician.
! The question arises, How does the
physician is?" Reference is at once
made to a drawer owned by the sub
scriber, and therein is found the name
of the man OF medicine the family
employs. Then there are cab calls, ex-
press calls and others.
The concern will furnish neatly
uniformed messengers to escort ladies
to the theatre and return, to take
children to the matinees, attend chill
dren while their mothers are out shop
ping, hold positions in line at the the
aires when a rush for tickets occurs,
and a thousand other things, such as
delivering packages, taking deposits to
the bank, and such work.

his management of a district messen-
ger Office. He had engaged a red

him to be anything but a Scandinavian

The new messenger was the only one

turned and taken the child away,
Brown asked the youngster how he
kept it quiet.

the boy. 'Phen it stharted in fer to
