the investment of Wepener has been
abandoned by the Beers. Notwith-

dorp has been occupied by them, prob
ably by the advance of General BUNDLES

chartsa.g of Cuban Waters.

WASHINGTON, April 2O.-The house
spent practically the entire day debating
a proposition in the naval bill designed
to turn over to the navy the survey and
charting OF the waters of Cuba, Porto
Rico and the Philippines. The bill car
ried an appropriation of 100000 for
this purpose. Cannon, chairman of the
appropriations committee, led the fight
against it, arguing that such surveying
OF these waters as should be made
should be performed by the coast and
geodetic survey, which. he said, could
do the work cheaper and better. In the
end the house sustained isyiew, adopt
ing an amendment offered by him to ap-
propriate only the regular $4,000 for
ocean surveys. The chairman OF the
committee Of the whole, Payne, over
ruled the point of order against the ap-
preparation for the new naval academy,
but an amendment offered by Cannon,
providing that before the money appro-
priated by the bill be expended plans
for the whole Improvement, not to cost
to exceed $4,000, 900, be submitted and
approved by the secretary Of the navy.

THE BRADS7REETS REPORT.
Increased Receipts Of Hogs Lowers
Prices Of Hog Products.
FACTORIES SHORT OF ORDERS.

New York, June 4.-Bradstreets says:
Readjustments of price quotations to
meet the changed condition of supply
and demand are still the leading fea-
lures of the general trade. In volume
the business doing is of between
seasons character, improvement in
some lines being counterbalanced by
increased dizziness in other branches.
That the basic conditions of the trade
are in the main of favorable nature,
however, is proved by the continued
good railroad earnings returns which
come to hand. The fact seems to be
that the volume of business offered the
transportation interests of the country
continue considerably in excess of a
year ago. Crop reports are relatively
most favorable as regards corn and
oats. In the southwest wheat crop
prospects are still maintained at high
average. In the northwest wheat has
been helped by late rains, but owing
to their late arrival is is not certain
how much benefit was obtained there
by.
Most prices are lower on the week,
wheat noting fractional drop despite
unfavorable French crop advlces,
whence an enormous reduction in yield
is predicted, and also rather blue re-
ports from the northwest early in the
week, mended in some respects by the
rains mentioned Pork products have
sympathized with the downward ten
dency of values, aided thereby by
increased receipts of hogs. Some fur
Their liquidition has been noted in
cotton and the price has sunk to DC.
In textiles the situation is rather
depressed, although some improve
ment in recorders for dry goods is
noted at leading jobbing centers.
Print cloths have been marked down
by the Fall River committee, but this
is merely a tardy recognition of hith-
erto known facts. Manufacturers of
wooden goods are out of the market for
raw wool land the outlook at present
favors the lightweight woolens upon
opening of lower values. Boots and
shoes are dull and a number of eastern
factories are short of orders

General Condition. satisfactory.

Havana, june 4.-General Wood
says: 1.-THE general condition in Cuba
is most satisfactory. The revenues are
in excess of the expenditures. There
is less discomfort than you imagine,
and while the advancement of the peo-
pie is slow, it is undoubtedly more
satisfactory than the old way. A most
significant indication is furnished by
the fact that the preparations for the
election of municipal officials, on June
16, have been conducted in a most Or
derby manner. have not received a
single request for troops. The regis
tration of voters foots up 100000, one
half of the voting strength. In order
to preserve the best feeling l decided
to give the minority party representa-
ton on every board of aldermen and
the other elective bodies. l do not an
ticipate trouble of any character as a
result of the elections"

Third Prize on a Poor Crop.

Topeka, June kansas took third
prize on general fruit collection of the
United States at the Paris exposition.
Secretary Barnes, of the State Horti-
cultural Society, received notice to this
effect from the department of agricul-
ture at Washington. Missouri took
first prize
"Kansas was rather unfortunate, y"
said Secretary Barnes. while we
took third prize, which is high hon
or, we should have done better. The
fruit crop in the state last year was
not up to the standard, and we could
not find fruit such as Kansas usually
raises Missouri had good crop last
year."

Manila. The Meade had three cases of
smallpox aboard. She was placed in
quarantine. General Otis stated to
the quarantine officials that he was in

possible. The presence of smallpox on
the vessel makes the time of General
Otis landing very indefinite.

Washington, June At is limited in
diplomatic circles here that the sudden
increase of activity on the part Of the
Boxers" is nothing more than part OF
well conceived plan by one of the
great European powers to secure
permanent Judgment in Pekin and to
seize position giving it full control OF
the great Pei IIo river, the approach to
the Chinese capital. 1t is further in
timated that the plan has proved
abortive, owing to the alertness OF the
other European powers represented in
Chinese waters, but particularly to the
readiness of the United States minis
ter, Mr.. Conger, and the American
real admiral on board the Newark,
which at once gave the movement an
undesired international aspect, and
so tended to prevent the particular ma
ton concerned from aggrandizing
itself at the expense of the interests OF
the other nations. Therefore, it is as
sumed that the excitement will rapidly
abate, and the Boxers" will dispense
to their homes.
