Spring Weather Improved tho Tone

spring Weather Improved the Tone
Hank Cloarlngs Enormous
NEW YoRK, April l6.-Bradstreet's
says: Real spring weather has i'm
proved the tone OF trade, particularly
retail, and correspondingly helped job
bing distribution, but, at the same
time, brought last winters injury to
the winter crop more in evidence. The
regular monthly government CROP
report proved rather more favorable
than expected, foreshadowing, on the
basis of last falls largely increased
acreage, a yield little below that of
last season. The unenimity of later
damage reports would seem to point
to full information regarding the crop
not being obtainable at the date when
the government advices were gathered.
1t is mo- owing to speculation alone
that payments through the chief clear
ing houses have been so per cent
larger than in the same week of 1862,
and 1923 per cent larger than last
year. New York transactions far ex.
coed those of any other previous week,
S 1,46S, 500, 700 in amount. but outside
OF New York the clearings were Ais
per cent larger than in 1898, and 44.6
per cent larger than in 1892. The truth
is that no such expansion in the
general business of the country has
ever been seen before, and if such
records only were considered there
would be ground for fear that a wild
passion of trading had again lifted the
whole business community off its feet.
But, instead, there is found surpris.
ing increase in the chief industries"

SPAlN'S AMERICAN MINISTER.
Tho Appointment of Dewey's Old Rival
UnoficlallY Announced.

OuOulClal1y ANuOuuccus
LONDON, April Is. - Special dis
patches say tho Duke of ARGOS, the
late Spanish minister to Mexico, who
married Miss Virginia Lowery of
Washington, has been designated as
Spanish ambassador at Washington.
De ARGOS was stationed at Washing
ton early in his diplomatic career, and
it was there that he met Virginia Low.
cry, daughter OF Archibald Lowery, a
member of an old Southern family.
According to a recent story Dewey,
then a young naval officer, was De Ar
cos rival for the hand Of Virginia
Lowery. The young woman's father
would have none of either Of the young
men, and the incident was apparently
closed. But the spaniard had told his
story better than the blunt Vermont
boy, and Virginia told the young
spaniard to wait. and he did wait.
Ten or fifteen years later when De
ARGOS was minister to Mexico, the
father relented and gave his consent
and the young American girl became
e Spanish duchess.
After the Maine was blown up and
before the war began the duke and
his American wife passed through
New York on their way to Spain from
Mexico. All efforts to get the duke
to speak were useless, and he hurried
to his native land.

KING HENRY |.OF SHAN TUNG|
A Rumor of a Throne in China for
the Kaiser's Brother.
THE LATEST FROM THE ORIENT
British at Pekin Say Germany's Seizure
Of Kiao-Chou Was Preliminary to the
Taking of the Entire Province of
Shan Tuns.

VICTORIA, British Columbia, April
liking Henry l of Shan Tung, lord
or mandarins, toa-tais and fus, with Il
tsung-li-yarnen all his own, is what
the PeSin and Tien Tsin Times re.
dict for the brother of Emperor Will
lam. According to these papers, the
foreign element OF Pekin believes that
the seizure of Kiao Chou in November,
1897. by Germany, was a first step to-
ward the realization of a scheme of
the kaiser to place q German king on
Chinese soil.
Prince Henry, the cmperor's brother,
who is in tho orient, in charge of the
German Asiatic squadron. superseding
Won Diedrichs, it is alleged, will be
king, and the Chinese province of
Shan Tung his kingdom. The occu-
patton of the interior of the province,
it is pointed out, is q direct move to-
ward the establishment of German
sovereignty over the whole OF the
5000 square miles Of Shan Tuug in
stead of the 400 square miles around
kiao Chou, which was taken out OF
the Chinese domain by Admiral Won
Diedrichs after the native mob had
killed the missionaries, Neisc, Hennie
and Zeiglcr.
Baron Won Heilsing, the German min
lister, has gone to Kiao Chou to con-
suit with Prince Henry. Chinese mil.
itary officials in Shan Tung have asked
permission from the Pckin govern
ment to proceed against the German
force of occupation.
According to the japanese papers
there is grave apprehension in British
German diplomatic circles regarding
the situation in China, which is
heightened by the fact that Russia is
again making overturss for control Of
affairs in Corea. In consequence Of
recent Developments, the leave grant
ed Sir Claude Mcdonald, British am
bassador at Pekin, has boon with.
drawn, and he will remain at the Chi.
neSc capital.

"a canton woman Says She Saw the Pris.
oner Shooting saxton.
CANTON, Ohio, April 1e.-In the
George trial this morning Mrs. Chris
tine Eckrot said she went to her win
dow upon the night of the murder,
after hearing two shots, and saw a
person bending forward who fred
shots toward the ground and then ran
away through a vacant lot. She iden-
tilted the person as Mrs. George. Mrs.
Eckrot said she had previously often
noticed a woman walking in front of
the Althouse residence. Later she
learned that the woman was Mrs.
George. Mrs. Eckrot is the first wit
ness claiming to recognize the person
who did the shooting.
In cross-examination the defense
sought to show that the witness did
not know Mrs. George we'll enough to
identify her and that 1t was too dark
for anyone to recognize a person
across the street.
Mrs. Eckrot on REORGANIZATION
said she had been using morphine for
nine or ten years, but for the last six
months took 1t only every other day.
Mrs. Laura Huwig Of Cleveland, a
daughter OF Mrs. Eckrot, testified as
an eye witness as to the firing of two
shots. She described the person who
fred them and said that Mrs. George
resembled the one she saw fire the
shots in figure, carriage and general
appearance.

Guerrilla Warfare.
MANILA, April 16.-Gcneral Lawton
is marching north along the road be-
tween the hill and the lake, with the
gunboats Napidan and Laguna dc Bay
abreast of his troops. The enemy is
re%trcating northward. On Wednesday
the troops crossed the Paghanjan and
concentrated at Lambun, at the
mouth OF the river. After leaving two
companies of the Fourteenth regiment
to guard the entrance of the river, the
troops marched to Longas and found

leading into the hills.
Major Weisenberger's sh~arpshoot-
crs were sent toward Pactos Ancon-

on a nest of rebels in some thick
bushes which afforded a splendid
cover. Five men of the North Dakota
regiment were killed aud two wound
ed, two of the former dying after hav-
ing been brought to Longas church.
where Father McKinuon administered
che sacrament to them.
The main body of the American
troops, while at dinner at Longas,
heard the firing and advanced to the
support of the sharpshooters. The
Laguna de Bay, at the beginning of
the fight, shelled the hills, making
them too hot for the enemy.
The Americans entered San Antonio
at sunset without meeting with any
resistance. Twenty unar1ned prison
ers, bearing copies of the proclama-
ton of the United States Philippine
commission, which they had somehow
secured, were aftcrward released and
sent outside our lines with bundles of
proclamations to distrib butte.

the same may be said. The owners OF
sugar estates can scarcely make their

abundant in the island. In some
places there have been strikes and as
