THE EAST.

In the United States there were 136
business failures in the seven days end
ed on the 18th, against 1872 the week
previous and 1916 in the corresponding

LEAVES HONOR TO DEWEY.
York Reception, Leaving Him
Clear Field.

Plattsburg. N. Y, Aug. 15.-President
Mckinley will decline the invitation to
attend the reception to Admiral Dewey
m New York on the ground of pressure
of public business. His real reason will
be the conviction that his presence at
the ceremonies would be likely by di-
vision of public honors to detract from
the glory which rightfully belongs to
the victorious admiral. It was not until
Monday that the president determined
upon his course. Every possible induce
ment has been held out to him to at
tend. His own judgment, his own sense
of justice and propriety, his natural in
clination to give Dewey all the credit
due him, weighed more heavily in the
balance than all the pleadings, argu-
ments and inducements.

The latest news from the bedside
of NJ. Labor, counsel for Dreyfus, who
was shot by all unknown man at
Rennes, France, is that he is still alive,
although his physicians hold out but
little hope for his recovery. All efforts
to capture the would-be murderer have
so far proved futile.
Testimony was given in the Dreyfus
trial by former President Casimir-
Perier, Gen. Billot, Gen. Zurlinden,
Gen. Chanoine, Cavaignac, Hanotaux
and Gen. MERCER, who was recalled.
Nearly all the evidence was intended
to show the prisoners guilt, and the
result of the days session was I'M
