AN ADVANCE In WAGES
Voluntary Increases are Given to
More Than 100000 Men.
GREATEST WEEK ON RECORD
In All the Years of Commercial Re-
porting There Has Been No Period
in which Trade Has Been 30 Large
as AT the Present.

New York. March 4.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
The business for the past month was
far the greatest ever known in Feb
ruarv. Clearing house exchanges were
about $1,000, 100000, against $5,5bI,553,-
S44 last year and 54.2 per cent. larger
than in 1892. 1t all the years of week.
" commercial reporting there has been
no other week in which the reports
from all parts of the country have been
so good as they are this week. More
over. during the past week there has
been a general advance in wages, i'm
mediate or prospective. At most
points the advance of 10 per cent. or
more was entirely voluntary. 1t has
averaged to 10 per cent. in tin plate
works. and about 10 per cent. IN other
cases. and as it affects over 100000
hands it will add greatly to the pur-
chasing power of the wage earners.
The returns of failures in February,
while showing larger liabilities than
in January. are highly encouraging. y
rather unusual number of large fail
ures in scattered branches Of manu-
facture has swelled the aggregate, in
Guiding one concern for Sl,OO0,OOO in
electrical apparatus. but in nearly all
branches the statements indicate
remarkably healthy condition, while in
trading the defaulted liabilities are
smaller than in January or any pre-
vious winter month for six years.
in prices the striking feature has
been the rapid advance in iron and
steel products, resulting from a de-
mand greater than the works in the
country can supply. All the works of
Importance have been crowded with
orders running to July and later. Be-
lated buyers have given life to con-
Germs long inactive, and as these can
add but little to the output the mar
kets have been entirely controlled by
the buying demand. All sorts of prices
have been paid, some for early deliv-
cry and some for delivery after July /.
The textile industries are making
progress. There has been a strong in
crease in the demand for cotton goods,
resulting in further advances in the
prices for some. while in wooden goods
u slight advance appears, nOtwith-
standing a decline in the prices of wool
during February. The decline has not
been general in wool, nor has the adj
'ance in goods
Failures for the week have been in
the United States lS6, against Psi last
year, and A in Canada, against 81 last
wear.

years old. At the same time it is to be
remem mbered that he is as vigorous as a
man of 40, and his years have not cooled
his ambition. Zurlinden entered the
army in 1856. During the Franco-Ger-
man war he was a captain. He was one
of the heroes of Metz and was taken
prisoner with Marshal Bazaine. Escap-
ing from the fortress of Spandau,
where he was imprisoned, he placed his
services at the disposal of the govern
ment of national defense. In 1881 he
was promoted to the rank Of colonel, in
1885 he was made brigadier general,
and in 1890 he became a division gen
eral. He was minister of war during
the administration of Ribot, holding
that portfolio in the first cabinet formed
under the presidency of NJ. Faure. Eur
linden is the foremost man in the
French army. He embodies in himself
the rigorous militarism of the French
character. How far it will carry him

PAID HONOR TO SCHLEY.
Citizens of Maryland Presen: 10 Him
= Medal Of Honor in Recognition of
of HIS DistIng mlshed Services.

Baltimore, March Rear Admiral
w. S. Schley yesterday received from
the people of this. his native state,
superb testimonial of the esteem in
which he is held by the people of Mary
land and of their appreciation of his
services to the country during the late
war with Spain. incidentally he was
cheered by assembled thousands as he
rode through the streets of Baltimore,
and at night 400 representative men OF
the city and state gathered together to
witness the presentation of the testi-
monial and join in banquet given IN
his honor.
The testimonial proper took the form
of a magnificent medal of gold and
diamonds, of great intrinsic worth and
resplendent beauty, the gift of Mary
land, presented in the name of the
state by Gov. Lowndes. Admiral
Schey, accompanied by Mrs. Schley
and Gen. Miles and escorted by a re-
ceptiOn committee, arrived from Wash
ington AT p. III. and drove in an open
carriage from Camden station to the
Rennert hotel.
The streets through which the car
riage passed were lined with people
and cheer after cheer was given to both
the hero of Santiago and the general
of the army. Upon their arrival at the
Rennert an informal reception was
held and at 7:30 p. N. the presentation
ceremonies began. After the 400 guests
filed into the banquet hall and took
their places they remained standing.
Gov. Lowndes, who presided, made a
brief but eloquent speech upon Mary
lands part in the navy and the late
war, which was received with great en-
thusiasm. He then introduced Felix
Agnus as chairman of the testimonial
committee, who delivered an eulOgistic
address on the services performed by
Rear Admiral Schley.
At the conclusion Mr.. Agnus called
upon the governor to place about the
neck of Admiral Schley the medal of
honor, which the governor did amid a
perfect storm of applause, which was
renewed again and again while the ad-
mral stood and bowed his thanks.
When the applause, which lasted fully
ten minutes, had subsidized Admiral
Schley replied in brief speech of
thanks.
The medal is beautiful beyond de-
scription. The Maryland coat of arms
is made of gold in bas relief and en-
amel, surrounded by a circle of fine
diamonds, around which is an oak
wreath intertwined with diamonds,
held by a ribbon of blue enamel, the
edge of which is set with diamonds
and on which is the inscription:
"Maryland honors her son, Winfield
Scott Schley." Entwned in the ribbon
are an anchor of diamonds and two
swords. the hilts and guards of which
are studded with diamonds. At the
top is the coat of arms of the United
States, through which is navy blue
ribbon with two stars indicating the
rank of rear admiral. On the reverse
is a very fine outline of the cruiser
Brooklyn in bas relief. Altogether
there are 320 diamonds in the medal.
Two months were required for it's
making.

Chicago, March 4.-The Interstate
commerce commission has filed a bill
in the United States circuit court ask
ing for an injunction restraining the
nine leading railroads entering Chicago
from the west from imposing the 81
terminal charge at the stock yards. On
February 2., after thorough investiga-
tion, the commission sent nstice to the
railroads that the 50 fee was Illegal.
This warning was disregarded by the
companies. If an injunction is grant
ed it will mean loss of several thou
sands Of dollars a day to the railroads.

THEY HAVE HAD ENOUGH.
ASuInaIdo Desircs that the War Shall
Cease - Eight Thousand EiIIpinOs
Anxious to Surrender American
LnAAnS @ BbaIe.

Manila, Feb. 2S.-TwO Spanish COM
missioncrs, Seniors Rosatio and Abo-
gado, who were permitted to pass
through our lines and confer with
A@unaldo with reference to the Span
ish prisoners at MalOlOs, returned
through our lines on Monday near Ca
loocan, with sealed dispatches for the
Spaniards. The commissioners said
that AguinaIdo and Sandiko were botL
at Maiolos and inclined to pacific over
lures. While the Filipinos are not yet
prepared to surrender the Spanish
prisoners, they will gladly release two
Americans who have been held for six
weeks on the payment of $50, the value
Of food and clothing furnished to them.
Shortly afterwards the rebels sent
out flag of truce borne by Command
ant De La Cruz and several hundred of
the enemy left the Filipino lines cry
ing NO quierc," Mas combate,"
"Americanos muchO .bueno." The COM
mandant said that fully 5000 of his
men had had enough and We're anxious
to surrender. Among the enemy in the
jungle many women and children were
visible. a woman laid down her rifle
levers, but she was sent back.
After the party returned to the
American lines the enemy on the right
fired a volley, the bullets dropping at
their feet.
The casualties to date are as follows:
Killed SO, wounded 357.
Washington, Feb. 28.-Some notice
is beginning to be taken here of the
markedly hostile reports that are be-
ing caDled to Madrid by Col. Rios, the
ranking Spanish officer at Manila, and
if he persists in this course he may be
called to account by Gen. Otis. Tech
nically Rios is prisoner of war and
his actions are subject to the COM
plete control of the United States Off
GERS at Manila.
His reports, it is said in official cir.
cles here, have been uniformly mis-
statements of facts, or gross distor-
tions of them, with the plain purpose
Of giving a false impression of the
weakness of the American position in
the Philippines, perhaps with a delib.
crate purpose to justify some of the
powers to recognize the belligereney
of the insurgents. The latter are be.
lieved to I've suffering from a lack of
war supplies, and such recognition at
the hands of even one of the nations
whose possessions border on the China
sea would be of the greatest assistance
to their cause.

AT MOLiNEAUx'S DOOR.
Coroner's Hurry Lays the Blame for the
Poisoning OF Mrs. Adams-He Is Arr
fnd

| New York, Feb. 2S.-Roland b. Moli-
neaux, son of Leslie MolineauX, of
Brooklyn, was arrested last night,
charged with numbering Mrs. Kate j.
| Adams in this city on December 2S,
1898. He was locked up in the Tombs
| prison. The arrest followed the verdict
of the coroner's jury accusing him of
the crime. While the inquest was into
the death of Mrs. Adams, it also went
| into the circumstances of the death of
Henry {. Barnet. of the Knickerbocker
| Athletic club, who was poisoned by
powder received through the mail, as
was Mrs. Adams. The cases are so
closely connected that they can scarce
ly be considered separately.
The proceedings of the final day of
the inquest were sensational in the
highest degree. The case had dragged
along monotonously, witnesses being
examined for the sole purpose, as 1t
seemed, of contradicting Harry Cor
nish's testimony in minor details or
of eliciting suggesticfs as to a motive
that might have LED Cornish to commit
crime. The news apers from the be-
ginning had stuck to MolineauX as the
person most TO be suspected, but the
prosecuting officials apparently never
harbored such a thought. The exam
iner was kind and gentle when Moli-
neauX was on the stand, grutf and Sc
we're when dealing with Cornish. The
curtain rose on the last act of the melo-
drama Monday afternoon.
A shoplleeIer who rented private
letter boxes swore positively that Moli-
neauX was his patron, using the name
of II. c. Barnet 1t was proved long
ago that the bottles of medicine had
been sent to that letter box. Then the
handwriting experts were called and
one after another declared that the
hand that wrote the address on the
poison package and forged the names
of Harry Col...' and II. {. Barnet to
letters sent to drug firms ordering
powder medicines was the hand of
Roland Il. MolineauX. The experts
were absolutely certain in their identi-
fication of the penmanship and would
make no qualification of their state
ments. District Attorney Gardner then
summed up the case, directly accusing
Molineaux. The jury brought in a
verdict charging MolineauX with the
murder, and he was at once arrested
and committed to the Tombs without
bail.
Molineaux is a member of the New
York Athletic club and was, until his
quarrel with Harry Cornish a promi-
nent member of the Knickerbou!:cr
Athletic club, from which he resigned
because of that quarrel. Molineaux's
f,tI f.,rS
reputed to be a millionaire. The prs-
oner has gone in good society, being
of excellent address and manners and
prospective heir to a great fortune.
His counsel is Barlow S. Weeks, of the
New York Athletic club, and personal
enemy of Harry Cornish.

THE CASE OF Mr.. HANNA.
4 Senate Committee Reports as to tb G
Charges Against the Ohio Senator.

Washington, March 1.-Senator
Chandler from the committee on privi-
leges and elections, yesterday present
ed TO the senate the report Of that COM
mittec on the charges of bribery in the
election to the senate of NJ. y. Hanna,
as made by the Ohio senate. The re-
port sets out that no direct remOn-
STRANGE setting out that Mr.. Hanna
was not elected or ought to be expelled
from the senate has been received by
the senate. He also shows that no one
has appeared before the committee and
that no papers have been received be-
yond the formal report of the action
of the state senate. Notwithstanding
these failures the committee has inves-
tigated the charges.
1t finds that there is no proof sub
mitted either that Mr.. Hanna was
elected senator through bribery, or
that he had any agents engaged in car
rying on his canvass for the senate
who were directly or implicitly author
lied by him to resort to corrupt meth
DDS or to any form of wrong-doing, or
that he had any personal knowledge of
the facts of the Otis case. &c may be
fairly tends to prove either of the fore
going propositions"
In view of these facts the committee
on privileges and elections has reached
the conclusion that ''the United States
senate is not called non to take any
action in the premises. The utmost
fact which the committee of the state
senate claims to have proved is that an
attempt was made to bribe Mr.. Otis,
which failed"
y minority report signed by Senators
Turley, Pettus and Gallery was pre-
sented. This report takes the position
that a further investigation should be
made and enters fully into the state
ment of the case presented by the Ohio
senate. The minority contends that
the attempt on the part of Boyce to
buy Otis vote for Mr.. Hanna is clearly
proved by Campbell.
