UPWARD TENDENCY OF PRICES
The Feature Of the Business Situation...Scar.
city Of Steel and Iron Products.

Strength of staple prices. activity in
fall demand large railroad earnings, re-
ports of heavy lake traffic and of ac-
tivity in leading industries are the fea-
lures still presenting themselves in the
trade situation this week. Expansion.
in fall demand is perhaps most notable
at the leading western and northwest
ern markets, but advices from eastern
markets furnish evidence that active
interest is manifested at these centers.
The price situation Is one Of notable
strength, the events of the week having
accentuated in many cases the advances
shown during August. Cereals are gen.
orally higher, The only changes In the
iron and steel situation are in an upward
direction as to prices. Complaints of
behind-hand supplies and scarcity OF
material are still made. Work has in
many instances, notably in shipbuilding,
been delayed by backward deliveries of
steel. Some improvement in the position
of anthracite coal Is reported.
kilograms from lake ports say that
tonnage Is scarce with rates tending
higher One result of this has been the
DETECTION Of considerable lumber shipped
from the northwest to the east from lake
to all-rail routes.

Lieutenant Peary and the sledge part
les were in the field almost continu-
ously from October, 1898, to August Of
this year, and have effected an eXtraord-
mary amount of important work, not
only bearing on the future of his own ex-
petition, but adding much to the geo.
graphical knowledge of the coast line
and the interior of Ellesmere land, the
southern portion of Grinnell land. His
sledging journeys aggregated more than
1900 miles, not including several trips re-
peated over portions of the track.
AS soon as the young ice could bear
sledge, Lieutenant Peary made a care
full reconnaissance of the coast line
southwest of All Man bay and carefully
defined the lands and water between that
point and Cape Sabine. The coast line Of
Princess Marie bay and Buchanan
strait, heretofore unknown, was accur-
ately defined, and Hayes sound was
demonstrated to be myth.
This work completed, Lieutenant
Peary next made several successful
hunting trips and laid in an ample sup
ply of fresh meat, including musk oxen,
seal and birds for the winter. Utilizing
the December moon, he sledged along
the ice foot 250 miles north, over almost
impossible ice to Fort Conger, the head
quarters of the Greeley expedition. He
had the misfortune to have both feet
frostbitten, which necessitated six
weeks delay and confinement, until he
could make the return trip. Lashed to
a sled he was hauled all the way to the
Windward, where several toes were am
putated. Complete recovery followed
rapidly, and he now walks as we'll as
ever.
Lieutenant Peary found Fort Conger
exactly as Greeley left it. The table was
standing from the last meal and all the
other appointments had remained un-
disturbed for l6 years. The buildings
were in fair condition, though some OF
them would not be serviceable much
longer. He took possession of all the
property, real and personal in the name
Of the United States government an6

Do II YOurseIf.

1t is easy to tell whether your Kidneys
are diseased. Take bottle or glass
tumbler and fill it with urine. II there is
a ST diment-a powder-like substance
after standing day and night, there is
something wrong with the Kidneys.
Other sure signs OF disease are desire
to urinate often, pain in the back, or if
your urine stains linen.
There is no question that DR.. David
Kennedy's Favorite Remedy is the best
and surest medicine in the world for dis
eases of the Kidneys, Liver, Bladder and
Blood. Rheumatism, Dyspepsia and
Chronic Constipation. 1t quickly re-
lieves and cures inability to hold urine
and the necessity of getting up a number
of times during the night. 1t puts an
end to that scalding pain when nassing
urine and corrects the bad effects Of
whiskey and beer 1t is sold Tor one
dollar bottle at all drug stores.
Send your full post office address to

TlON, Rondout, N. Y, and mention this
paper. They will then mail you a trial
bottle of Favorite Remedy and a valu-
able medical pamphlet free, giving full
directions for its use. Every reader of

AN up.ro.OA1E PLANT.
For Manufacture Of Smokeess Powder Unde
Government Supervision.

The navy department of the United
States expects to begin the manu-
facture Of smokeless powder at its mills
near Indian Head within the next two
or three months. Work on the mills has
been pushed energetically, and at pres
ent about 1900 men are employed. Ad-
miral ONell, chief Of the bureau Of
ordnance, accompanied by Lieutenant
Seymour of the bureau, inspected the
work during the last week and was much
pleased at the progress made. Already
about a dozen buildings are completed,
the electric light plant, said to be one of
the finest in the world Is installed, and
the standpipe, 120 feet high, Is up. There
are 10 or II other buildings we'll along
toward completion. Altogether the
buildings will number % or 20, with a
capacity Of 1000 pounds Of smokeess
powder daily This daily output seems
large at first thought, but one of the big
l3-inch guns of the Indiana uses 1000
pounds OF powder at a single shot.
The various buildings of the powder
plant cover wide area about four miles
back from the river. The general pur-
pose has been to keep the buildings as
far apart as the requirements of manu-
facture would permit, in order to avoid
the dangers of explosions. For that
reason there Is no large central building,
but many small ones each having a dis
tinct branch of the powder making They
are arranged also, with a view to the
prevailing Winds so that the risk of
having the fumes Of acids borne by the
wind Is reduced to minimum.
One building is used exclusively for the
picking process, another for the mixing,
another for the acids. In this way each
stage of manufacture Is detached from
all the others, not only reducing the
chances of accident, but also giving some
security against widespread damage in
case of explosion in any one stage of the
process. Another precautionary meas
ure has been the building of light paper
walls at the ends of the buildings. These
readily give to the pressure of an ex-
plosion, leaving the main walls of the
structure standing and materially reduc-
ing the loss which occurs when an ex-
plosion Is closely confined

THE FROZEN NORTH.

st. Johns, Sept 12.-Steamer Wind
ward, Captain John Bartlett, from Etah,
North Greenland, Aug rs, arrived at
Brigus Sunday, reporting all well on
board. She will be followed in a week
by the Peary Arctic clubs steamer
Diana, Captain Samuel Bartlett. also
from Etah. The Windward reports that
all on board the Diana We're we'll at the
time the vessels separated.
The two steamers met at Etah on Aug.
IL and worked in company under the
personal direction Of Lieutenant Peary
in collecting supplies for the winter and
the equipment for next springs cam
paign. The Windward was ice-bound in
All Man bay, on the west side of Kane
basin, about SO miles north of Cape
Sabine, from Aug. IS, 1898, to Aug. 2, 1899,
being in a sort of eddy undisturbed by
wind or current The season was one Of
continuous calm, with very little snow,
the minimum temperature at the ship
being 70 degrees below zero Fahrenheit
All the Windwards company, including
the 10 Esquimaux, were exempt from i'll
ness, accident or casualty of any kind.

Lieutenant Peary's last sledge journey
was an overland exploration westward
from the winter quarters of the Wind
ward, completely crossing Ellesmere
Land, and connecting his work with that
of Lieutenant Lockwood of the Greedy
expedition at the Fiord bearing the
latter name on the western slope. Elles-
mere Land was found practically ice
free, and to contain much game The
water to the west of the coast, as far
as could be seen, was also comparatively
clear Of ice.
His winter quarters Lieutenant Peary
has established at Etah, one of the
eligible points on the east side of Smith
Sound. 1t is mile or so north of
Hayes winter quarters in 1861 five miles
south of Lifeboat Cove, in which the
Polaris wintered, and six miles north of
Cape Alexander. Ample supplies for the
remainder of the time Of the expedition
mot less than SO tons-have been land
ed, 40 tons of which went to the Peary

MUCH VACANT SPACE
will Be Apparent at the Long Planned For
Paris Exposition.

When congress assemblies there will
be considerable agitation of proposition
for this government to abandon its par
ticipation in the Paris exposition. 1t is
known that expressions hostile to the
exposition quoted from Senator Stewart
are very widely sympathized in and it
is thought that, If the conviction of
Dreyfus is permitted to stand, there will
be very little friendly feeling for France
among members of either the house or
senate.
Such move, however, would be a
grave one. 1t is pointed out that to with
draw from the participation in the eX-
position would be regarded as an official
insult to France. No further legislation
on the part of congress is needed to carry
out the plans of this country for the ex-
position. About $1,200,000 has been APP
propriated for the expenses of the COM
mission and the government exhibit, the
commission has been appointed and the
space desired for exhibits from this coun-
try has been secured.
There are now only two ways in which
congress could interfere. One would be
to revoke such part of the appropriation
as has not been already paid out in the
expenses of the commission and the
other would be to pass a resolution de-
claring that on account of the unsettled
conditions in France the valuable gov
eminent exhibits should not be sent to
Paris. To do either of these things
would be sufficient, it is believed, to
break off all friendly relations between
the two countries
Congress and the state department
may look at the matter from different
points of view. The president and the
state department, having responsibility
for maintaining our relations with
foreign governments, cannot be expect
ed to find in this affair a reason for in
volving the country in an international
complication, and 1t is likely that the
executive branch of the government will
use what influence it can to prevent
hasty action.
Unless congress expressly forbids it,
this government will proceed with the
preparations for the exhibition and will
send to Paris such government exhibits
as are decided upon, but this will be done
with realization of the probability that
much of the space secured with such
difficulty for private American exhibits
will be left vacant. Little doubt is felt
that the latitude allowed the private
citizen will be quite extensively availed
of to withdraw from participation in the
exposition.
Another difficulty in the way of an
effort to prevent participation in the ex-
position, however, will be found in the
fact that before congress has assembled
much of the government exhibit probably
will be packed and on its way to Paris,
If not actually there. The exposition
opens in April, and the work of trans
porting and preparing the exhibit will
have to begin some months before that
time.

The next year weekly mail was
established, which was carried on horse
back between Fort Wayne aud Chicago,
and in 1888 the means of transportation
were improved by the employment of a
one and then two-horse wagon. In
1884 four-horse stage line was estab-
lished that carried the mail twice week.
In 1885 the service was increased TO
tri-weekly, and in 1887 a daily eastern
mail was established-Fort Wayne being
still the nearest distributing portofice
east of this city.
