living in the suburbs Of Rogers Park
and Lake Forest, were carried out in
to Lake Michigan on the ice foes to-
day. Ten of them were rescued. and

ARTHUR FLETCHER, Ravenswood
Park.
All of those who We're rescued were
carried out on the ice off Lake For
est, and two of the number who ven
tured on the frozen lake there are sup
posed to have been drowned. The re-
naming three OF the sixteen were car
ried away on a foe off Rogers Park,
and the Chicago life saving crew spent
the night searching for them.
Three more persons were added to
the list of missing ;at Rogers Park
very late tonight. They are:
SIDNEY MORRIS.

to Open Headquarters.
CLEVELAND, O., Feb. 12.-Mrs.
Mary Timmins, who is to run for school
council, will make an effective move In
the direction of political distinction
next week. She will form "woman's S

Mrs Timmins will have committee
favorable to her candidacy in charge.
This committee will organize the en-
tire female vote of the city and will
appoint subcommittee to canvass the
male vote. Literature will be dispensed
from the headquarters of the league
and circular letters sent to every voter
in the city.
Mrs Timmins will keep the head

will be given in the interest of the
female vote and cigars dispensed to the
men.

steamer carried twenty-five steerage
passengers, but later said she had
fcrtyzseven passengers aboard. Her
crew number seventy-fiv under COM
mand of Capt. Schmidt She had on
board 107 horses and $4,000 tons Of
fl eight. most Of it being grain. The
Bulgaria, Mr.. Boaz said, had no cabin
accommodations for passengers, and
therefore all the passengers aboard
were in the steerage. They were most
ly Germans, and from all parts Of the
United States
The Bulgaria is not a regular liner
and has been in the service of the
Hamburg American company but one
year. She was built in England and is
twin screw steamer of 5000 tonnage
Mr.. BCaZ said it was impossible to
obtain list of the names of the steer
age passengers tonight, and that the
company does not keep a list of the
crews on its ships. He had no idea of
what could have happened to the
steamer, except that probably some of
her machinery had broken in the heavy
storms which have prevailed during
the past week everywhere.

MANILA, Feb. u (4:30 p. m.).-Con-
.rary to all expectations, all is quiet
along the entire line, nothing having
happened up to this hour to disturb
the peace of Sunday. In Manila the
Inhabitants have generally recovered
from the alarm occasioned by the fear
of native uprising and are resuming
their ordinary business. The shipping
interests are naturally suffering, since
there have been no clearances for Phil
ippine ports for a week, but on the
other hand foreign shipping has in
creased, especially from Hong Kong,
every steamer bound thither being
crowded with tinid refugees.
Despite this Quietude, however, many
ere asking whether the problem is not
still far from solution. A week ago
those who took an optimistic view
predicted that the terrible lesson just
administered to the rebels would settle
the question of Filipino independence
in short order. But this prediction has
not been fulfilled. AS matter of act,
the rebels are now scattered through
out the country, bushwhacking, ex-
cept at MGlabon, where they are gath
more of guerrilla than of civilized war

shooters.
Unfortunately. for miles around the
land is studded with bamboo jungle
and open spaces are few and far be-
tween. This aids the natives, who fight
better under cover a distict advan-
tage. In many places the jungle is so
dense that the eye cannot penetrate it
and only by the flashes of their rifles
is the Whereabouts of the enemy indi-
Gated. Under such conditions it is re-
markable that the American casualties
should be so few, while the number of
dead natives found in the brush after
every skirmish testifies to the precision
of our fire.
Last week there was not a single day
without fighting, but the Americans
steadily advanced, carrying everything

COMMERCIAL


SUMMARY OF DUN's WEEKLY RE-
VIEW. OF THE BUSINESS
FIELD.
During the week the failures were
22l in the United States against 252
last year. and 20 in Canada against %
last year.
No correct report Of failures in 1899
can be made until the year has closed.
A collapse of speculation in copper
stocks has swelled the aggregate at
Boston alone over $1S,000,000 within a
few days. and might yet add to the rec
ord. The failures thus far reported are
fewer in number than in any year
since 1888, and smaller in amount OF
commercial liabilities than in any year
since 1881. The aggregate of default
ed liabilities is $l20,000,000 but nearly
two-thirds OF the banking liabilities
were added within few days, the ag-
gregate reaching about 10000 900. The
commercial liabilities have been about
$50 ,2GO 900, though exact returns for a
few recent failures are not yet obtain
able. In no other years except 1881
with defaulted liabilities Of $Sl ,155, 9S2,
and 1880, with SOS 1924 900, have failures
been as small since the agency com
menced quafter!y returns in 1875. The
average OF liabilities per failure is less
than $500, the smallest in any year
Cf the twenty-five, q gratifying evil
dence that commercial liabilities are
further removed than usual from the
point OF danger.
The industries are closing the most
extraordinary year of their history.
Long established branches have under
gone veritable reconstruction, vastly
increasing their capacity, while new
industries which scarcely existed a
year or two ago have enlisted a vast
capital, altered modes Of business and
of production in almost every direc-
ton, and improved conditions for the
future almost beyond calculation.
Electrical developments dn light, heat
and power, in making eataracts work,
performing wonders in production Of
materials, and providing transporta-
ton all over the land, deserve especial
attention.

"a gentleman connected with the
Office management of one OF the sue
cessful OF the current magazines, was
IN the city recently, looking over the

During the last twelve months" no

binary increase in the number of man
uscripts received by the magazines
from all parts OF the country. You will
hear It talked about in every Office in
New York. 1t seems as II the whole
nation has simply gone daft on the
subject of scribbling. Where we re-
ceiyed hundred contributions a year
ago We are getting at least a thousand,
and all the big magazines have been
forced TO double their stan of readers
and correspondence clerks to take
care Of the increased mail. A large
percentage of the articles submitted
have some bearing on the recent war,
and are written by members of the vol.

things-stories, sketches, poems. per-
sonal "reminiscences and historical
sketches, and we have been obliged to
get out special circular letter stating
that we would not undertake to even
examine any more war matter. ! be-
lieve most OF the other magazines
have done the same thing. The aver
age writer doesn't realize that great
er monthly publication must be run on
strictly business principles. We esti-
mate that il costs us about 60 cents to
put a manuscript of, say, $500 words
through the hands OF the first reader.
It is handled by three clerks before 1t
gets to him, and the first reading is
merely to determine whether it is
worth any further attention. If the
verdict is favorable 1t is carefully ex-
amined by a special STAFF, who read it
in rotation and submit a written re-
port, an operation which costs consid-
cradle money. To give that amount OF
attention TO even a tenth of the stuff
that pours in on us would bankrupt
any house in the country. Yet raw
amateurs are constantly complaining
because every word of their manu-
script was not read. Often they pur-
posely transpose the last few pages,
and, when they go back undisturbed,
they write us sarcastic letters. As a
rule the first paragraph decides the
fate OF q contribution.-N o. Times.
