In the event of the vice presidents
death, under a law passed In 1885, the
right of succession to the presidency
in case of vacancy passes to the Sec
retary of state, then to the secretary
of the treasury, and afterward to the
secretary of war, the secretary of the
navy, the attorney general, the post
master general, the secretary of the
interior, and the secretary of agricul-
ture in the order named. The present
president of the senate, pro tempore,
Secretary Frye, of Maine, would in no
event become president by virtue OF
his office. But let US hope that none
of these contingencies will arise.

disasters that have befallen them.

FINANCE AND TRADE.
Great Divergence Between PrOducs
tive Industries and Speculation.

Great Divergence Between PrOdue-
tive Industries and Speculation.
New York, Dec. 16.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review Of trade says:
Unusual depression in stocks this week
has displayed the great divergence be-
tween the trading and the productive
industries Of the country and Its spec
ulation. Never has production been
greater, and number Of hands employ
ed larger, the wages distributed high
er, or the purchasing power, based
upon earnings, than at this time, and
never have conditions Of trade or re-
turns of earnings and traffir given GER
tainty Of greater business for trans
porters. Yet as the earnings Of the
railway and manufacturing companies
mount upward their stocks decliue. as
II 1t were disastrous for road to
double its earnings and ruinous for a
mill to realize unprecedented profits.
Inflated capitalization has, of course,
done much harm, and speculative ex-
element has counted profits In many
cases long before they were earned.
Money markets here and abroad have
been strained by British reverSes in
South Africa. and wherever they were
overloaded have been pushed to quick
and disastrous or gradual liquidation.
The result Is that while industries and
transporting companies realize great
profits, the speculative holders o. their
stocks realize severe losses.
