WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE.
Strength Of Porx Products Has stimu.
lated Corn W. DOL v eax.

New York, April 2l.-Bradstreet's
to-day says: More rather than less
irregularity in the trade and price sit
uation is to be noted this week, partly
as the result of weather conditions,
but partly, as in case of the iron and
steel trade, because Of the continu-
ance of those missionary efforts in the
direction of lower prices which have
been such feature of the iron and
steel trade of late. That the basic
conditions of trade remain on the
whole favorable is, however, evidenced
by number of features.
II has been a weather market for
the cereals and most agricultural pro-
ducts, these advancing early this
week. but weakening toward the close.
The strength of pork products and the
small movement has stimulated corn,
and there is less weakness in this than
in other cereals Stormy weather and
flooded water courses at the south
have checked or retarded cotton plant
ing, but this feature and the statis-
teal strength of the market have not
been sufficient to produce any outside
bull movement, while the quietness
in dry goods and the weakness noted
in cotton yarns have been additionally
discouraging features. Wool is weak,
but there is rather more inquiry, and
now, as one year ago, relatively high
est prices rule at points of production.
Weather influences are again reflect
ed in the market for dairy products,
which has weakened under large re-
ceipts.
Wheat, including -four shipments
for the week, aggregated 3,s9s,451
bushels, against 2,S96,6j3 bushels last
week Since July /, this season, the
exports of wheat aggregate l1,s04,547
bushels against 192, 262,1l0 bushels last
year. Corn exports for the week ag-
grcgate 3,ljs,747 bushels, against o.
700,444 last week. Since July 1, this
season, corn exports aggregate 1866
0s1 1906 bushels, against l37,047,744
bushels during the same period year
ago
Business failures in the United
States for the week number 161, as
compared with 1872 last week, 1877 in
this week a year ago, 224 in 1898, PIG
in 1897 and $40 in 1896.

AN EICHT.HOUR BILL.
The House Sub Committee Will Re.
port the Measure Very Soon.
PAPERSOy The PHILIPPINE TROUBLE


thnb Fr'Jrct
Washington, April 19.-The house
subcommittee on labor, in charge of
the Gardner eight-hour bill, reached
decision yesterday on the final form
of the bill and on several amendments,
all of which will be reported to the
full committee on labor Friday, when
it is expected that final action will
be taken. The bill has attracted much
attention in labor circles, being &C.
lively urged by the American Fedora
ton of labor, and has been energet-
ically opposed by many large steel,
armor, ship-building and ammunition
concerns doing business with the gov
eminent, as the measure will have the
effect of fixing an eight-hour day on
armor and like commodities and in
the building of warships. The amend
ments made are intended to overcome
objections raised during recent ex-
tended hearings. One of them pro-
vides that the act shall not apply to
transportation. This is to overcome
the objection that goods en- route to
factory where government work
was being done might be held up be-
cause the train hands did not conform
to the eight-hour rule. Another
amendment provides that the act shall
not apply to goods bought by the
government in open market. This is
to overcome the objection that the
eight-hour restriction could be car
ried back to the mines, lumber camps,
and all points producing raw mate
rial which later goes into government
articles. These and other amend
ments are designed to free the meas
ure from the chief objection brought
against 1t and some of them were
drafted by the American Federation of
Labor authorities. The action of the
subcommittee was not unanimous
yesterday in ordering report.
Papers on the Philippine Trouble.
Washington, April 19.-In further
response to the senate resolution of
January II, last, the president sent
to the senate additional documents
bearing upon the insurrection in the
Philippines. The papers are all i'm
portant. One of them is a report of
Col. Aramas Blanco of the Philippine
army to the general commanding the
second zone" of the events of Febru-
airy 2, 1899, in Tondo. Another doc
ument relates to the conference
sought by Gen. Otis with Filipino lead
ers relative to the expedition to Iloilo,
and says that Gen. Otis tried to secure
deputation of natives to accompany
the expedition in order to conciliate
the insurrectionists there.
A proclamation signed by Aguinal-
do on the Gath of May 1898, says; II
see the Spanish government is unable
to struggle with certain elements
which constantly oppose the progress
of this country and now since the
powerful and great North American
nation has come, showing a disinter-
ested protection which will enable us
to secure the liberty of this country,
| come to assume the command of all
forces, ready to assure the attainment
of our revived aspirations" He said
he would first establish dictator
ship and afterward a government with
cabinet The papers are all trans
lations of documents captured from
the Filipino forces.

ELOPED WITH SIsTER.IN.LAW.
A Guilty Couple stopped In a'SEad Career
BY Atlanta OfIicers.


BY Atlanta Officers.
Miss Josephine Packard, of Dover,
Del, and her sisters husband, H. M.
Wilkinson, also of Dover, were arrest
ed in Atlanta, Ga, Friday after weeks
chase. In q statement to the officers
the young woman said:
81 realize fully the step I have
taken. I know I have stolen away
my sisters husband. I know what Z
have done. do not want the pity OF
forgiveness of anyone. All want is
to be left alone with him. That is all
either of us wants.
The man maintained a bold front,
contending that he had done no more
than any other man would have done,
and excused himself by saying he had
married the wrong sister, both having
been in love with him.
Later on Miss Packard succumbed
to the pleading of her mother, who ar
rived in Atlanta Sunday morning, and
will leave her brother.in.law. She
will not return to her home at once.
1t is the present plan to have her visit
relatives in some distant city, where
she will remain for about one year.
Then if she is willing, she will return
10 her home and be forgiven.

MOB DISAPPOINTED,
The Alleged Assailant OF Mrs. Gillian
Secure In Nashville Jail.

The Alleged AssaiIant OF Mrs. Gillian
Secure In Nashville Jail.
A Huntsville, Ala, dispatch says.
Sheriff H. r. Nelson, of Lincoln
county, Tennessee, has hustled Tom
Bibbs, the suspected assailant of Mrs.
Alonzo Gillian, Of Lincoln, Tenn,
from Fayetteville to the Jail in Nash
vile for safe keeping.
Further rumors of a mob caused the
officer to take the precaution, but in
doing so he is the object of criticism,
as he promised the mob that he would
not remove the prisoner from the Fay
etteville jail under any circumstances,
but OF course, this was an illegal prom
Use on the part of the officer.
The representatives of the Tennes-
see mob, who had been in Huntsville
and other places, began to return to
their homes after investigating the his
tory of Tom Bibbs.
1t was finally announced that the
committee had secured sufficient proof
that Bibbs is the right negro. They
gave the negro the benefit of every
doubt, and also allowed Senator Pull
ley and others to try and prove an
alibi for him, but so far they have fail
ed, and members of the mob, with the
information they are working on and
what they had, are convinced that they
have the right man, and despite the
fact that the prisoner has been carried
to Nashville, when they conclude their
investigation, they say, they will get
their man.

HOR GATES REVF Rushed
Details From japanese Sources
Regarding Capture Of Pekin
BY the Allied Forces.

General Yamaguchi, commanding
the Japanese forces, wired his govern.
ment at Toxic from Pekin, under GATE
Of August 10 Is follows:
''The allies attacked Pokin early
yesterday, opening with artillery on
the eastern side. The wall was obsti-
nately held by the enemy. The jap
anese and Russians on the northward

and British we're on the south side.
AT nightfall the Japanese blew up the

entered. In the meantime the Amori-
cans and British entered the Chinese
city by the Tung Pien gates.
"Detachments Of each force were.
sent toward the legations. The par
ties met near the legations and opened
communications All the ministers
and their stats were found safe. The
japanese loss was over one hundred
killed, including three officers. The.

A birds nest was recently found iu

spring built their nest and laid twelve
eggs IN the vacant space among the
combs of large beehive, with the
swarm In full swing Of honey gather
on all sides Of them, 80 correspon-
dent Of The Zoologist says. Both
birds and bees went in and out By the
same entrance hole, and neither seem

making honey fast; when the hive was
opened twelve eggs were found IN the
nest. -London Globe.

Tt cost the British admiralty some
think like 81 100000 to make a practi-
cal trial Of iron ships and defensive
armOr by sinking an old but apparent
~ StiH useful turet ship by the fire
6r0m a consorts guns; but the results
obtained appear to be worth the
money. One valuable lesson learned
by the experiment is that armor de-
tends only what it covers, a platitude
which seems to have been strangely
overlooked by the advocates of ue.en-
sfye armor, both in that country and
5m this. The vessel attacked had ar
NOR varying in thickness from nine
10 IL inches, and this was not pierced
by the "enemy's" shells; nevertheless,
she sank in nine minutes, by reason
sf the work of the secondary batteries
ON her unprotected parts; so what was
ehe use of the armor? queries the Phil
adeIphfa Ledger.

The Jury at Georgetown Reached
Conclusion in Short Order.
A SURPRISE TO THE PRISONER
Only Republican Member On the
Jury Expressed Himself as
FavOring Hanging.

At Georgetown, KY, Saturday
afternoon, Caleb Powers was found
guilty of conspiring to kill Will
liam E: Goebel and sentenced to life
imprisonment in the penitentiary.
The jury was out only about As min
utes, when the following verdict was
returned;
"We, the jury, find the defendant
guilty and fix his punishment at con-
finement in the penitentiary for the
rest Of his natural life.
Juror Craig stated afterwards that
the verdict could have been returned
even sooner, but considerable time was
taken up in reading the instructions.
The vote in favor of life sentence
was unanimous. When the jury re-
tired the belief was general that it
would fail to agree and in this opin-
ion the defendant himself was firmly
convinced
When the verdict of guilty was re-
turned, Powers for the first time du-
ring the weary six weeks of the trial,
betrayed his feelings. Under all of the
trying incidents of the trial, he had
maintained a changeless expression,
the same whether things were going
favorable or against him. The YER
dict of guilty, however, staggered
him. Always pale, he grew CHASTITY as
the verdict was read, and his face be-
tokened great mental anguish. This
was for only few seconds, however,
and then somewhat regaining his COM
posture, he turned to the Misses Dan
gerfield, who had been in conversation
with him, and said:
81 was not expecting that. The
verdict is unjust"
There was no sort of demonstration
following the verdict, and the crowd
filed out of the court house almost in
silence. Powers remained in the court
room for some time after the verdict
was rendered, in conference with his
attorneys, who will at once move for a
new trial, and, failing in that, will
take an appeal.
Juror Porter, the only Republican
on the jury, was the first to speak and
said:
Gentlemen, I am Republican and
I have said that did not believe Goe-
bells murder was the result of a con-
spiracy. 1 did not think Caleb Pow
ers could be guilty, but have heard
the evidence and am convinced he
is"
Others also made talks, and it is
said that one of the members of the
jury intimated that he thought the
death penalty ought to be inflicted.
However, when ballot was taken, all
twelve of the jurors voted for life inn
prisonment
The jury which sat in the case was
composed of eight Democrats, three
anti-Goebel Democrats and one Re-
publican.
One of the jurors said afterwards
that the jurymen were influenced in
making up their verdict by many
things in the evidence, but that some
of the chief points were Powers adj

Professor Nothuagel Of Vienna holds
that death, with the single exception
of poisoning from such a thing as
prussic acid is painless. Whatever
may be the fear of death, the actual
transition of death is physically with
ont pain, because in almost every inn
aginable case, consciousness ceases
before the heart ceases to beat, that is
before death. Death by burning
perhaps the most horrible of it's
forms rendered painless'at an early
stage by suffOcation. In cases of
ac1te feverish diseases. the poisonous
bacteria works so depressingly OH the
merv0us system that, with full CON
scI0asness to the last moment, apathy
sets in, rendering it matter of in
difference to the patient whether he
dies or not. That is to say, the desire
of life gradually sinks to the vanish-
ing point, and death is physically and
Usychologically painless.
