Washington, Nov. 21.-The report
of the engineers in favor of an improve
ment at the mouth of the Columb bia
river to secure 40 feet of water over the
bar, will be sent to congress with the
approval of the chief of engineers. The
opinion of the engineers is that the pro-
posed improvement is one of the most
important to be presented to congress.
It is expected that favorable action by
congress looking to the 40-foot channel
will be followed Immediately with
another proposition for a channel of 80
feet from the mouth of the Columbia
to Portland. Those who are familiar
with the commerce of the river and
conditions now existing say both these
improvements should be made with the
least possible delay.

METEoRs NOT DUE.
An Error Has Been Made and the Leo
nids Will Be Here Next Year.


Washington, Nov. 20.-"The shower
of Leonids will not occur this season.
The brilliant spectacle has been an
nounced one year too soon." This an
nouncement has Just been made by Dr..
L. ]. See, one of the most advanced as
tronomers in the government service.
Astronomical calculations have not
erred as to the periodicity OF the
Leonids,'' said DIR. See, sbut the gem
orally accepted conclusion as to the
time it takes the Leonids to pass the
earth's orbit has been wrong. After
the most careful observations made
with the best instruments in the SER
vice of the government, and after the
most unerring calculations in strict
conformity to astronomical laws, / am
thoroughly convinced that the period oil
passage is two years, instead of one, as
heretofore believed.
'sThe Leonids have been within the
earth's orbit for year now, and will
remain with us for another IL months.
The meteoric shower has not been as
heavy this time as there was good
scientific reason for believing it woul
be. That is because we have not
struck the thick part of the trail. l.
my calculations, this collision will oc-
cur in the middle of November, 1900.
Then the resultant display of burning
meteors will be as brilliant as the one
observed by Humboldt in Venezuela in
1899.
e'The present visitation is a counter
part of that in 1868. At that time
there were displays in two years, that
of 1862 being about as feeble as the
present has been, and that of the sue
ceeding year being nearly as striking
as that recorded by Humboldt. +"

eRADsTREETs' REVIEW.
General Trade Continues at n Maximum
Volume for the Year.

Volume for the Year.
Bradstreet's review of trade for the
week says: General trade and indus
try continue at a maximum volume
for this season of the year, while prices,
as whole, manifest a strength unap-
preached in recent years.
Strength on values is still most not
able among manufactured textiles, but
cereals, hides and leather and the
manufactures thereof have also
strengthened slightly. On the other
hand, pork products and tin are slight
ly lower. The great majority OF
prices, however, remain firm at un-
changed quotations. An active con-
sumptive demand for wool is reported
at leading markets, accompanied by
fair export demand, and a further re-
duction in stocks.
Cereals do not manifest any striking
change this week. but the resisting
power of the market is apparently
greater, more moderate receipts of
wheat at the West inducing some COW
ering, and corn is sympathetically
stronger. Another feature naturally
attracting attention at this time of the
year is the demand for but generally re-
ported small stocks of coal available,
both East and West.
Lumber displays continued strength,
and advices are of an expected very
heavy cut this winter, both in the
Northwest and at the South.
Wheat, including flour, shipments
for the week aggregated 4,54O,007
bushels, against 4, 750, s42 bushels last
week; 5,679, 141 bushels in the CORE
spending week of 1898. Corn exports
for the week aggregate 4,603, 71S BUSH
els against 4,5S1, ,447 bushels last week;
3,731, 724 bushels in this week year
ago; 3,208, ,790 bushels in 1897; 2, ,975,-
721 bushels in 1896, and 1,743, 167
bushels in 1895.
Business failures in the United States
number 189 for the week.

retreat northeast along the Tayud road,
which is stocked with storehouses,

New York, Nov. 20.-The United
States senate committee, represented by
Senator Mason, of Illinois, today re.
sumed its investigation into the adul-
teration of food prepared for market.
DR.. Edward III. Jenkins, an agricul-
tural chemist, and vice-director of the
Connecticut agricultural experiment
station, declared that the general adul-
teration of food products had increased
with business competition and the de-
mand for cheap wares. In his five
years. experience, DIR. Jenkins said he
had found only one adulterant that was
poisonous, and that was coloring
matter in temperance drink. Coco
shells, prune stones and like. he testi.
fed, sold as spices. None of these
adulterants, except the one color, was
hurtful to health, but all were frauds
on the consumer More than half the
iellies examined were made of glucose
and starch paste, colored with artific-
ial coloring, favored with artificial
favoring, and preserved with salycilic
acid. The cheaper grades of coffee
were found to contain large proper
tion of Canada peas, pea pellets, wheat
middlings and chicory.

Japan Lacks Both tho Money and the

New York, Nov. 20.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Shanghai says: Your
correspondent has just returned from
trip through Japan and China, where
he went to investigate the rumors of a
possible rupture between Russia and
Japan-rumors which have been mys-
teriously and persistently circulated
for some time, and which have finally
found their way into print through
English channels. 1t can be stated
authoritatively that these rumors of an
approaching war find no corroboration
whatever among japanese officials.
In fact, the Japanese officials point
out the fallacy of such rumors by de-
claring that Japan is in no position to
go to war, even if she had the DISPOSE
tion to do SO, owing to the condition OF
her navy.
Experienced and well-informed for
eign residents are unanimously of the
opinion that no war is lowering over
Japan. They declare that Japan can
not go to war for want of money.
