PRODUCTIVE FORCES BUSY.
Contracts Garry Possible Produc-
tions Far Into the New Year.
ACTUAL DEMAND THE CAUSE.

New York, Dec 1.-The approach
of new year usually brings so much
of hesitation in business that the small
shrinkage this year is surprising
Probably never before have the pro-
ductive forces OF the country been so
largely covered by contracts at this
date insuring employment and profit
far into the coming year. This results
not from any mere speculative excite
ment but from actual demands for con-
sumption running far beyond the pro-
ducing capacity heretofore and push-
ing it to remarkable expansion. The
increase in foreign trade has been in
significant compared with the increase
of $24 900, 600, 900 in payments through
clearing houses. For the week the pay
ments have been 20.3 per cent larger
than last year and 3S.l per cent larger
than in 1892.
Hides are again stronger at Chicago,
although receipts of cattle at the four
chief western markets in eleven months
have been per cent larger than in the
previous year as the demand for con-
sumption in manufacture has evidently
increased much more. Thus western
production of boots and shoes has gain
ed more than eastern, yet shipments
from Boston for the year have been
372, 900 cases.
The demand for cotton goods is heavy
and covers production far ahead in
many lines, while fears of important
strikes have been diSpelled by gen
eral advance in wages.
The strength of wool is apparently
unimpaired though demand is quieter.
London prices have again moved high
err and the small available supply of
fine grades supports the belief that
prices still move upward.

Kansas City, Dec. 11.-Another act
of violence on the part of the striking
printers was committed at the office of

collected but were dispersed by the
police, but another portion of the
crowd was stationed across the street.
When several of the employees of the
firm were placed in wagon to be es-
corted to their homes, there was a
demonstration and a rock weighing
ten or twelve pounds was hurled
through big plate glass window, mar
rowly missing the stenographer.

Terminal Charge Sustained.

Chicago, Dec. 6.-The action of the

enjoining the railroads running into

making a terminal charge of So per
carload of livestock was declared I'M
lawful by Judge Kohlsaat of the fed
'eral court, Judge Kohlsaat ruling that
the charge was reasonable. In de
claring the charges from the terminals
TO the stock yards reasonable he finds
that the defendants only imposed extra
fee to cover the charges imposed by
the stock yards company for the use of
their tracks.

Army Officers Disgruntled.

Washington, Dec. 9.-Army officers
kick on the promotion of General Wood
to the rank of major general of volun-
teers. They seem to be organizing OPP
position to the confirmation of the APP
pointment by the senate. 1t is gen
orally supposed that the program is to
make General Wood the governor gen
eral of all Cuba, if he is confirmed by
the senate; General Brooke to SO to the
Pacific coast to replace General Shafter,
who is to be retired as Major General.
General Wood is certainly the popu-
lar choice, both in the United States
and in Cuba, for the position named
and if he is made governor of Cuba he
will continue to give the Cubans as
large a measure of self-government un-
der the military administration as they
are able to control, increasing their au-
thority as they grow accustomed to ex-
ercising the functions of administer
ing their own affairs, so that when
the municipal elections are held after
April II, next, the Cubans elected to
Office will have had experience to con-
duct their affairs.

Bugaboo story From Florida.

Tampa, Fla, Dec. 9.-Cubans here

which were made in cigar factories by
Cubans. The speakers were bitter and
incendiary in their language regarding
the occupation of Cuba and advocated
the use of force and dynamite to rid
the island of all Americans. There are

TRAVELLING IN FRANCE.
A Government Road With no Com
petlng Line Permitted.
THERE ARE EXTRA CHARGES.

New York, Dec. "a tourist sends
this to the Tribune: Two women with
their maids decided to go from Men
tone to Paris by the train de luxe, but
,fourS they could secure only one small
compartment for two persons, and for
this had to wait week. The price for
each first class ticket was $25, and for
each berth a supplementary charge was
made of Sl7.40, the one nights journey
from in the evening until IL o'clock
the next morning costing for each per-
son S42.40. The maids, with eight
trunks, four of which were small ones,
went by an earlier train, and the
charge for the extra baggage was
$27.2O. The guard on the train de luxe
after it had left Mentone informed the
women that though their tickets called
for compartment for two the car had
been changed, and Nos, and $, their
numbers in the substituted car, were
in double room. The two other
berths were to be occupied by man
and woman, who would get on at
Cannes. Neither entreaties nor indig-
nation were of any avail, but quiet
sit will be to your interest" had the
desired effect. The women got the
room for two and the guard the extra
tip. The entire cost of the journey
therefore amounted to $40. A seven
teen hours journey in the United
States costs about SIS or SIG, including
a berth in sleeping car, little more
than a third of what it costs in France.
The French road was built mainly by
government loans, and soon falls com
pletely under the government control,
so no competing line is allowed to be
built.
