BRADsTREEr ON THE WEEK.
Business of the Country Almost u
to Last Years STANDARD.

to Last Years Standard.
NEW YORK, Oct. 12.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
Though some measures Of business vol
ume and value make unfavorabie comparI-
son with a year ago. and speculation Is
certainly on a reduced scale, conditions are
still very favorable and with few notable
exceptions the actual business Of the coun-
try is as a rule fully equal to. II not slight
ly in excess Of the corresponding period
Of 1899. This, too. is the case in spite Of
the distinctly repressiye tendency exer-
cised by the present political campaign, a
feature which. of course, did not have to
be considered In the active autumn of last
year.
Bank clearings are naturally smaller,
but show good gains over preceding years.
except last year. Outside Of New York
they are almost Identical with last year 8
total. Failures are slightly more numer-
GUS. 1t is true. than of late, but they are
still well down to n normal minimum.
Money rates are hardening but mainly be-
cause Of increasing needs in commercial
circles. due to crop-moving necessities.
Prices Of staples as q whole are firm, after
a sustained advance for month past
Railroad earnings continue to show
small. but still distinct, gains over the I'M
precedented totals Of 1899. Wheat, includ-
ing flour. shipments for the week aggre-
gated 1922. 1855 bushels, against 4,459, 167
bushels last week, 5.265. 634 bushels In the
corresponding week Of 1899. 4,729, 995 bush
els in 1898, and 4,156.s17 bushels in 1896.
From July 1 to date this seasons wheat
exports are 51.514, 523 bushels, against Co.
9S5, 047 bushels last season.
"St. Louis reports less effect than expect
ed from election excitement, while Kansas
City and Louisville note falling off from
late extreme activity. Southern trade ad-
vices can hardly be described as less than
glowing, owing to the high price of cotton,
which appears to more than offset the
shrinkage indicated in the eastern half of
the cotton belt. Cotton is weaker on a
fairly favorable Government crop report,
but the course Of cotton goods Is still up
ward, print cloths having gained 1-Sc.
while the prices of finished goods seem
bound to advance.
"One hundred railways operating 81, 900
miles OF road reported gross earnings of
$55, 1854 in September, a gain over Sep
TENDER last year Of 2 per cent. This is the
smallest increase reported this year, but
1t is marked improvement over pro-
gressive gains in the same month for five
years past.
Business failures for the week number
2lO, as against III last week, 1854 in this
week year ago, 233 in 1898, 1866 in 1897,
and 27e in 1896
Bank clearings for the week aggregate
sl,5!l ,406, zoo, a decrease of &c per cent
from last week and of 14.2 per cent from
this week year ago, but they exceed those
of 1898 by 10 per cent

THE FINANCES OF CUBA.
A Gratifying Condition Shown by
Secretary Cnncio,s Annual Report.


Secretary CnnciO's Annual Report.
HAVANA. Oct. 12.-Senor Cancio. Sec
rotary of Finance, has presented his an
nual report. He says the most important
step taken during the year has been the
uniting Of the receipts and accounts OF
the postoffice department, the customs di-
vision, and the department Of finance IN
der one head in the auditor generals
Office. During the first half of the year
Of 1900 the island finance department dis
bursed s3,000,000, as against 100000 for
the same period in 1899.
This showed, for one thing. that the
island Government was gradually taking
over the payment of money that had for
merly been made by the military authors
ties. The revenues are also better col
lected than under the Spanish regime, for
although the tax rates have been reduced,
there is as much revenue received as for
merly. Seven or eight given taxes have
been substituted for the twenty or more
of former years. thus rendering the sys
TEN clearer and easier OF administration.

it comes about that there is, with good
reason, a general feeling of unrest and
uncertainty. The middle-class man is
tempted to speculate. feeling that he
must risk something to gain ten thou
sand if he does not want to lose his
one thousand by some shifting of for
tune. This is demoralizing. and the men
who are unsettled in this way are wonder
ing what the matter is. They are men
who have influence and principle. 1t will
be a bad day for the trusts when they
begin to act.

STARTED BY A QUARREL.
Details of the Brawl Between Sol
diers and Matnnxas Police.

HAVANA. Oct. 12.-Despatches from Ma
tanzas confirm yesterdays stories about
the row there between the soldiers and the
police The trouble started through the
wounding of an American soldier by a po-
liceman in an attempt to settle a drunken
quarrel between two soldiers. Than an
other American soldier fired at a store
keeper from window Of the barracks. The
bullet missed the storekeeper, but struck
a boy in the wrist.
The soldiers rushed to the barracks and
tried to get their rifles out. Under the
army regulations the rack was locked and
a commissioned officer had the key in his
pocket. The men, therefore, could not get
their guns, and this prevented a general
row. The men quieted down in few min

Mr.. Bryan yesterday began his tour of
Ohio and addressed number of large and
enthusiastic audiences. He struck a hot
trail to start with, for his way led him
through a region which once teemed with
independent industries which have been
absorbed by the trusts and their plants
closed down and abandoned 1t does not
take much to nail the trust argument in
such localities.

GrOsSenOr Ii Oracular.-The Hon.
Charles Henry Grosvenor, at one time the
lightning calculator par excellence of the
Administration, has grown oracular since
Mr.. Hanna, for some reason satisfactory to
himself. deposed him from this high Office.
General Grosvenor has given out onis one
estimate since the opening of the campaign.
He gave this out while he was in London
last August. and Of course his figures
showed that Mr.. Mckinley would carry
every State but a few in the extreme
South. A Philadelphia; editor. evidently
unaware that General Grosvenor no longer
was Mr.. Hanna's great statistician. chased
the ubiquitous general over the country
the other day by wire with the request for
his very latest estimate. His reply to the
Philadelphia editors request shows, as be-
fore remarked that General Grosvenor has
become oracular, for this Is what he said:
without going over and recasting in de-
tail the Presidential situation, believe
that Mckinley will not lose any State that
he carried in 1896, with the possible ex-
ception of count-out In Kentucky and I
believe he will carry twenty eight electoral
votes that he did not carry at that time"
The meaning of this plainly is that II there
is "a count-out in Kentucky''-or, in other
words. if Bryan carries Kentucky-the
Hanna organization Will make count
in" down there, provided, Of course. they
need the thirteen votes of Kentucky AS
to where the other twenty eight votes
spoken Of by General Grosvenor are to
come from presumably only he and Mr..
Hanna know

An action can be maintained for the
benefit of the mother as next Of kin OF an
illegitimate child for the death OF the
child by wrongful act held the Appellate
Court of Illinois in the appeal Of the Sc
curity Title and Trust Company. as ad-
ministrator OF Robert Wesche. On the
trial the lower court held that under the
statutes Of the State the deceased child
could have no next OF kin. and instructed
the jury to find for the defendant. The
Appellate Court reverse. this judgment OF
the ground that it was the intention o:
the Legislature by the act of 1872 to re-
move the common law disability Of ille-
gitimates to transmit P.operty by descent
through the maternal line. and In that re-
gard to place such persons on the same
footing as legitimate persons.

NOTES OF THE CAMPAIGN.

Unusual PrecaGtEDis.-Forp people who
exultantly boast THAT everything is COM
ing their way 1t is considered quite re-
markabie that the Republican managers
should take such very great precautions
to see that every vote they can control
or buildoze is accounted for on election
day. This is the meaning of the extraor-
binary efforts they are now making to get
all the voters employed in the Govern
ment departments here registered at their
respective homes before election day.
During the past few days there has been
bigger exodus Of Government clerks
from Washington than this generation OF
Washingtonians has ever known. Thou
sands of men have left the departments
at the direction of their political bosses
and gone home to get their names in the
registry books. These same thousands
will leave Washington again between No
Vember and B, SO as to complete the po.
litical work they have begun this week.
Their leaving was the direct result Of an
order issued by Mark Hanna a month ago
to the sub-bosses of his machine In the
various close States. These latter indi-
viduals were furnished with lists Of Gov
eminent employees in this city accredited
to their States. Then the State bosses
sent to each person in Washington SO
accredited circular letter reminding the
recipient of his duty as "a citizen and a
Republican" to get his name In the reg
istry books SO that he would not lose his
vote Oh election day. The circular letter
also reminded the recipient that the name
of every Government employe who failed
to vote would be turned into the Repub
lican committee of his State. The plain
meaning Of this is that II the Government
clerk doesn't get lively move on him
SELF and PUNK ballot for Mckinley and
Roosevelt he will be minus job soon
after election day. Old Washingtonians
declare that never before have such high
handed methods been employed by the
party in power to bulldoze Federal en-
ployes. Men are being forced to vote this
year who have not voted before in ten
or twenty years. The bosses who have
driven these thousands of clerks away
from the Capital at this time and who
will drive them away again Just before
election day have not asked one of them
to which party he belongs. That is en-
tirely unnecessary. because the order
driving them home is SO worded that
every Government clerk realizes that he
will he discharged on one pretext or an
other II he dares vote against his Repub-
lican masters. The time they lose on the
two trips they are compelled to make to
their old homes will not be taken out Of
the months vacation each Government
employee is allowed every year. The time
will be saddled on the Treasury for the
salaries of the absent men do hot stop
while they are away. Every man in the
departments in this city from New York,
Indiana. Illinois, Kentucky, Maryland,
Wost Virginia, and the other close States
has gone to his home this week to regis
ter, or will do 30 within the next few
days. This shows how uneasy the Hanna
ties feel about the close States.

And Now for Reed.-It is learned that
the Mckinley managers have not yet
wholly despaired of forcing from the Hon
Thomas Bracket Reed some word of en-
couragement. They base their hope of
Reed upon the result of the work on ex-
President Harrison. 1t is known that Gen.
eral Harrison consented to issue the state
ment, which has caused so much distress
at the White House only after he had
been hectored and bullyragged by the
Hannaites until he was almost distracted.
The Hanna people are now sorry they
kept after the big Hoosier so persistently,
for 1t is agreed on all sides that the state
ment is doing Mr.. Mckinley great deal
more harm than good. Why they have
not learned enough from their experience
with the naughty exPresident to let the
hard-headed Reed severely alone cannot
be accounted for upon any other theory
than that in their desperation they are
willing TO risk almost any danger. 1t is
pretty certain that IL Mr.. Reed says any
thing 1t will be quite as severe an ar
raignmen; Of the Eannaites as was made
by General Harrison. for il Is well known
that the ex-Speaker entertains about as
hearty contempt for the entire Hanna
Mckinley crew MS does General Harrison
At the same time 1t is being quietly whs-
pered around In supposedly wellnformed
circles that Mr.. Reed is preparing to do
something for Mckinley The Hon. Joe
Marley, it is said has stsked his all on the
promise OF making Reed come out of his
hole. Manley has made frequent trips to
Mr. Reeds law offices in New York dur
ing the week. and it Is considered proba-
BILE that he will arouse the big Maine man
TO action in a few days.

The fact that a person. in committing
an offence involving a criminal intent.
was acting as agent for a corporation, is :
no defence to his prosecution therefor as
an individual, holds Judge McAdam. of
the New York Supreme Court. in the case
of People vs.. Dunlap f6S n. Y. Supp. 1911
where the act was also unlawful il done
by the corporation. while corporation
may. for certain purposes" said the
court. commit a crime. it cannot, as a
rule. commit one involving the element
OF criminal intent. In such matters the
officials who form the intent and carry it
into execution are liable to Indictment as
individuals. and corporate character fur
nishes no protection to such persons
The times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1897-1901, 1900-10-13

Fighting i'm BrOokiyn.-That the Re-
publican managers are daily growing more
uneasy about the prospect in New York
State is evidenced by the fact that the
Hon. Timothy L. Woodruff has been or
dered to cancel all Of his appointments up
the State and go to Brooklyn at once and
stay there until the close of the campaign.
The Lieutenant Governor Is a citizen OF
Brooklyn and while he is not sufficiently
amenable to the lobby influences at Albany
to suit Plat and Hanna for the guberna
torial nomination, still he is sufIiciently
powerful among his wide circle of friends
In Brooklyn to make him very useful TO
Mr. Mckinley in that borough at the pres
ent time. He will return to Brooklyn in
few days and earnestly devote himself 10
the task Of patching UP harmony among
the Republicans there. The Hon. Jacob
Worth and other Brooklynites have not
yet been brought completely under subjec-
ton BY Hanna, Platt or Odell and II is
considered very desirable for Woodruff to
use his persuasive powers on these recall
citrant elements. 1t Is argued that since
Woodruff has been turned down harder
than any Of the dissatisfied Brooklynites by
Hanna and Platt. his appearance among his
neighbors in the role Of chief harmOnizer
will have an excellent effect. II Woodruff
fails to pacify the disEruntled elements
and IL Boss Mclaughlin works for Bryan
with old-time vigor and directness of
method it is confidently believed that the
biggest Democratic majority ever rolled up
in Brooklyn will he developed on election
day
