Brndstreetn Reporf.

New York, Nov. -Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say;
A strik ng illustration of the under
lying strength of the general business
cituation was furnished last week by
the course of prices. Almost without
exception values of staples remain firm
ct previous quotations or manifest q
still further pronounced tendency to-
ward a higher level. This, too, has oc.
Cured in the face of rather smaller
distribution in the ordinary trade chan
nels than has been noted in recent
weeks. So far as autumn and winter
trade is concerned the complaint of un.
seaeonably mild weather restricting re-
tai! distribution is reported from many
cities. But, rising superior to this, ana
% the unquestionably smaller distribu-
tloE at first hand, is the accumulated
strength OF textiles, particularly cotton
goods, which reflect some additional
ctrength Of the raw product, due to
smaller receipts and better foreign adj
vices, but in larger measure also Dor.
tray the influence of active demand
coming on market exceptionally bare
If stocks. A further advance in print
CLOTHS, a feature this week, has brought
the quotation for standard grades I'D to
5 per cent, point not touched for four
years past. Raw wool is higher on the
Aeek at all markets on active demand
shared in by the manufactured mater.
ial for which a good fall demand has
been experienced and in which further
price advances are expected. The
American market for wool is still
claimed to be the cheapest in the
world. The dullness in heavy winter
goods produced by the present warm
weather has not as yet served to i'm
pair confidence in wholesale lines.

A Battle Expected.

New York, Nov. ga dispatch from,
London says:
The next battle is to be expected at
Spytfontein, where there is a good posi-
ton. The British advance must necessar-
lily proceed along the railway line The
river will be no obstacle, as it is small and
easily forded. At Spytfontein there are
few scattered hills This is the only
point where the Beers will be able to avail
themselves of cover.
The British movement is undoubtedly
difficult and dangerous. The greatest peril
arises from the possibility of the Beers
moving men across the Free State from
Natal to Jacobsdale and the Modder river.
Such a movement would occupy about 10
days for any considerable force, and about
seven or eight days for a force of less
than 10000. II it is carried out Methuen's
column may prove unequal to it's task.
No news has been received yet of the
Ninth Lancers, who were sent to cut off
the Beers when Methuen attacked the en-
envy at Gras Pan. Some uneasiness pre-
walls concerning their safety.
The losses or the naval brigade ina tho
battle at Gras Pan We're enormous. Out OF
500 seamen and marines, l05 fell, being
more than 20 per cent.
1t seems doubtful whether the enemy
will make any stand south of Ladysmiths
but the latest advices would indicate that
both forces are moving north on converg-
inc lines that will cross near Colenso.
If the Beers make a stand south of Co.
lenso they will have behind them the Tu-
gela river in flood, and only fordable in
a few places. This means complete ami
hilation if they are defeated. Ii they make
a stand behind Tugela, they are not out
of reach of Gen. White, who with his cav
airy might strike their only possible line
of retreat.
1t is thought that they are most likely
to fall back and push men over toward
Kimberly.

! Since the American occupancy or Ma.
Mia. the Chinese have more rights and
| privileges than ever before in the history
! OF the islands. On this account there Is
great race hatred prevalent. The Eli
! pinos have the idea that some day the
coolies will inaugurate n general slaugn-
ter to redress their old wrongs. This
perpetual animosity is an annoying thing
for the householder. Fights are frequent.
The contestants sca.d, puncture and shoot
one another, and rumors frequently
spread of an uprising, causing a doubling
of the guard in the town, and general
order for all troops to sleep in their cloth
ing, their arms by their side.
Another thing which has to be consid-
cred in connection with the lives of the
civilian residents in Manila is the con-
tinual fear of a native uprising. Alarms
are frequent, and plots of the natives
for general massacre of all Americans
are continually being reported. 1t has
been said: THE Americans in Manila
are living on the crust of a Volcano" 1t
is the base of the American army, the
great depot for all supplies, and the
temptation to the insurgents to start an
uprising in the town and destroy it can
NC appreciated. ut HOUSES III the bluOu-
do, and most of the other Districts are
Of wood, and old and dry, and would
burn like finder.
Any number of the insurgents may en-
ter the town as Amigos" and be on
hand when the signal is given. Many of
the rebels are in Manila acting as SER
wants for the Americans. One American
discovered that his cochero was a rebel
sergeant. and always rode with bola
knife under the carriage seat. Whether
or not the Filipinos will ever make an
other attempt to destroy the city-as on
Jan. last-the Americans, at least. en-
terrain lively fear of the event. and so
everybody sleeps on a revolver, with one
eye open, ready at the first alarm to
fight. If the outbreak ever occurs, it will
not begin with firing on the outposts, but
in each household, and each man will
have to fight first with his own servants.
Altogether there are happier places than
Manila in war times.

For the grip, the mannometer Is en-
ployed. 1t is little metal apparatus,
with a spring that the grasp of the

the muscular force in Kilograms. The
apparatus used for testing the sight
and hearing is the most delicate en-
plOyed anywhere.
The utility Of all this Is that the tests
are made the basis of grading the sub
jects. Low records that have hitherto
been attributed to viciOuSneSs or OBJ
stinacy may thus be traced to faulty
physical conditions. 1t may be found
from weakness demonstrated that a
child Is not physically able to keep up
with the class, and labor is lightened
to suit the situation. In one school go

girls do not have the endurance of boys,
and the sexes should not, therefore,
have equal work.
Generally, the tallest and heaviest
pupils are found to be farthest along
with their studies. Another fact dis
covered is that the physical force of
the child is fair at o'clock in the
morning, strong at TO- at II decreasing,
low at noon. At l there Is a slight re-
vlval, at 2 it is fairly good, at there
is a second decline. 1t is held, how
ever, that standards fixed and deduc-
tons made from American children do
not fit all other nationalities. Italian,
Swedish, Hungarian, Finnish and other
children differ materially in mind and
body from these, and the records al.
ready secured in this direction are to
be made the basis of investigation that

issue, might succeed to the throne.
Even for this she was blamed.
Then the Empress, with her train
ing, which is in great measure En-
glish, set herself against some Of the
customs of the Russian court, among
them that of ladies smoking cigarettes,
and brought down upon her the dislike
of the court circles. To still further
aggravate her situation she is disliked
by the Dowager Empress and not too
dearly loved by her husband. Natur-
ally, under such circumstances, the life
or the Empress has been made miser-
able, and her face. once so full of beau
ty and sprightliness, is now clouded
and marked with care. She has at
tanned an exalted rank among the
rulers of the world, but she has paid
for it the price of her minds peace and
her hearts happiness.

Photographing Criminals.

The right to photograph criminals in
order to place their pictures in the
rouges' gallery has often been ques-
toned. The prevailing opinion among
writer's who have discussed the sub
ject seem to be that the power may
properly be exercised over persons who
have been convicted of crime, but that
it's exercise is of very doubtful legality
in the case of one who is merely ac-
cused of a criminal offense, but not
yet adjudged guilty. In an application
for writ of mandamus TO compel the
police commissioners of this city to
remove the picture of a convict from
the rogues' gallery, Justice Truax has
recently held that the fact that the
petitioner had been convicted of as
seUdt and sentenced to six months 10

No blanket is furnished, and sometimes

Housekeeping in Manila, under present
conditions, is a delusion and snare.
House rent runs all the way from 500
to $500 a month. Groceries are expen-
sive. Canned goods cost from IS cents
to 81, and the beef is suspicious and ex-
pensive. Household furniture and kitch-
en- utensils are hard to procure at any
price. Good stoves are scarce, and gaso-
line and oil are unknown. Only by pro-
curing supplies through the army commits
sary officers can a reduced cost Of living
be attained.
Everybody of Importance in Manila is
bound to keep one or two rigs. A CARO-
