HAS A HEALTHY TONE.
Situation in Financial and Trade
Circles Continues to BE Highly
Encouraging.

New York, Jan. AR. G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review of trade says: Contrary to
the French saying, the expected has oc-
CURED. Rapid advance in prices of iron
and steel products have had their imme-
diate effect, perhaps not to the lasting ben
eft of the industry, for there is the same
reason for doubt as to it's permanence as
in 1895, when shrinkage of buying and re-
action soon carried prices lower than be-
fore. But there is now larger demand for
many other products, and without un-
wieldy combinations all are doing well.
throughout the country was never so
strong financially, as even governors of
London banks admit, one stating that as
London had financed America heretofore,
now for the first time New York was
financing Europe. No evidence of weak
ness Is seen in the other branches of in
dustry nor in those upon which the great
excess of exports most depend. Wheat
and cotton still go out largely. Europe Is
buying because 1t has needs and New York
Is lending to Europe nobody knows how
many millions because there is for the
present no need to call loans. The receipt
of $500, 900 of gold from Australia is an
nounced at San Francisco. Americans are
IN the humor to invest in their own country
and have great amount of money to put
out without recalling any of their loans
10 EUROPE so that the heaviest transac-
tlons ever known in the stock exchange
have occurred during the week without the
evidence of reaction for which many strong
operators have been looking.
I'm products also the position of the
country grows stronger. Last years ex-
ports of wheat and corn were far beyond
all precedent, but the past week has seen
exports of 4,2S5,6S6 bushels of wheat, flour
included. against 3,2l647O last year from
Atlantic ports and in two weeks 9,452 l09
against 6.OS67SS last year, besides exports
in two weeks from Pacific ports of l, ,724, ,O51
bushels against 2,34O,009 last year Mean
while corn exports have been in two weeks
7,199,3l3 bushels against ,57S last year.
II is quite impossible to account for such
movements on the theory that at current
prices this country is underselling the
world and has great quantities yet to move
at similar prices. There was an advance
of IA cents in wheat during the week, but
one cent in corn without any indication
that supplies are running short.
Failures for the week have been 313
in the United States, against 349 last year,
and "a in Canada against As last year"

FURIOUS STORMS.
They Are Causing Great Damage to
Property I'm Great Britain-Some
Loss of Life.

London, Jan. 14.-Widespread devas-
tation on land and sea has been the re-
suit of the storm, and the aggregate
losses of property are immense. Re
ports are gradually filtering through
from the provinces, telling of dis
mantled houses, overflowing rivers, in
undated streets and fields, buildings
flooded, cattle and sheep drowned, rail-
roads disorganized and disasters to life
and limb from falling debris. Lon
don's parks and buildings have suf-
fered heavily. The Thames has over
flowed along the upper reaches, with
serious loss 10 the dwellers on the
banks. Most of the coast towns have
suffered severely. Promenades have
been swept by the sea and harbors and
piers damaged. Parts of Southampton
are under water. The schools were
closed Friday afternoon. In many
parts of Portsmouth boats we're en-
ployed in the main streets to take the
school children home. Numerous small
wrecks are reported, and all the life
boats are kept exceedingly busy. Three
men who were returning from funeral
near Castle Island, Ireland, were lifted
by the wind, hurled into a pit and

A QUEER FINDING.
Said Court of Cassation VIII Find
Dreyfus Probably Guilty But That
He Should BE Released.

Paris, Jan. 16.-The Matin and the
Gaulois say they understand that the
inquiry of the court of cessation into
the Dreyfus case is on the point Of ter
minating, and that the court will prob
ably report that acts of treason actual
ly occurred, but that sufficient proof
of the guilt of Dreyfus does not ex-
ist and that his sentence. therefore, is
quashed. The papers add that there
will be fresh coutr-martial Drey-
fus, it appears, was informed of the
revision proceedings some time ago
but he is under the impression that they
are due to the initiative Of the general
staff, and in his letter the prisoner
thanks Gen. Boisdoffre, The former
chief of the general staff. and his com
rades of the army for the action taken.

Fourth Infantry Leaves.

Chicago, Jan. 16.-The Fourth regular
infantry, recruited up TO its full
strength of over 1900 men, in command
of Col. Robert H. Hall, left Fort Sheri-
dan Sunday on its journey to the Phil
ippines, where the regiment has been
ordered for service. Hundreds of peo-
pie gathered at the station at the fort
where the regiment has been stationed
for so long, and many affecting scenes
were witnessed between the blue-clad
men and wives and sweethearts. At
New York the regiment will embark on
the transport General Grant for the
trip to Manila via the Suez canal.

IN ABSOLUTE CONTROL.
on Manila II Made by the
Insurgents.

Manila, Jan. lathe situation here
is undoubtedly critical, but Maj. Gen.
Otis has it well in hand and there is
no such certainay of trouble as many
believe. The rebels are concentrated
on the outskirts of the town and their
leaders have issued strict orders that
they shall act only on the defensive. An
accident might precipitate trouble, but
the idea of a rebel attack upon Manila
is ridiculous, as the Americans abso-
lutely control the position.
On Wednesday a false alarm, due to
trivial incidents occurring simultane-
ously in opposite parts of the city, led
to general call to the United States
forces. In Is minutes the entire city
was covered. The promptness of the
Americans, while it created a scare for
the moment, effectually restored con.
fidence throughout Manila and dis
PEELED the excitement due to passing
fear on the part of citizens that an out
break was imminent.
1t is possible that the Filipinos, after
the diplomatic conferences that have
been had between the representatives
of Gen. Otis and Aguinaldo, have final
ly come to understand that the eau
tious and conservative policy of the
Americans is not due to fear and they
will accept the inevitable with good
grace. 1t is evident that at present
they are unable to appreciate the full
meaning of the independence demand
ed, and that when they do understand
it's extent the American proposition will
be acceptable.
Madrid, Jan. 1.-THE government
has received the following official dis
patch from Manila: The American
troops here which were ordered to Ilo-
lilo mutinied and refused to start. Gen.
Miller has been ordered to abandon
Iloilo and return to Manila. All the
American troops have been ordered to
concentrate here, the situation being
of the gravest character.

by local applications, as they cannot reaca
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infamed you have a rumoling
sound or imperfect hearing and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases of of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.

WHEN the senate met on the first
Monday of December its membership
was complete for the first time in a
number of years. The death of Sem
ator Morrill, makes another break in
the list, and there are some people who
argue from this fact that it is unluclly
for the senate to have it's list of mem
bership filed. They claim that the
record of the past shows that whenever
there has been full senate death has
followed shortly afterward. This fact,
however, will not probably prevent a
general scramble for Senator Morrill's
shoes.

FoR countless generations spiders
they have practiced the art of sailing
through the air on tiny parachutes
which they make from woven strands
of gossamer. Now, however, the tables
have been turned and instead of weav-
ing parachutes for themselves the poor
spiders are set to spin ropes for human
aeronauts. This novel idea has been
put into operation at Chalais- Meudon,
near Paris, where spider factory for
the special manufacture of balloon
ropes for the military aeronautic Sec
tion is now in full swing. Each little
creature is made to spin 80 or 40 yards
of thread before it is allowed to have a
rest.

The recent protest of j. Sterling
Morton, of Nebraska, against the cut
ting of Christmas trees is warmly COM
mended in the west. In his protest he
said: 1.-The trees selected for slaughter
on this anniversary are always the
straightest and most symmetrical.
There were last year more than 90, 0OO,-
900 of Christmas trees cut down and
put on the market. The absurdity OF
celebrating the birth of the Saviour OF
the world by wanton waste and ex-
travagance which jeopardizes the well
fare of millions of human beings yet
unborn is obvious to every thinking
man"

parish one evening, when he saw one of his
parishioners very busy whitewashing his cot
tage. Pleased at these somewhat novel
signs of cleanliness, he called out: "Well,
Jones, see you are making your house nice
and smart" With q mysterious air Jones,
who had recently taken the cottage. de-
scended from the ladder, and slowly walked
to the hedge which separated the garden
from the road. That's not 'xactly the rea-
son why I'm doing of this ere Job" he
whispered but the last two couples as
lived in this ere cottage 'ad twins; so ! says
to my missus, I'll take an whitewash the
