TEST OF PROSPERITY.
Bradstrect's Reports Fewer Failures
Than For Eighteen Years.

"Bradstreet's," that, argus eyed OBJ
server OF trade conditions in this coun-
try. calls attention 70 the fact that the
failures reported for the past six
months are the fcwest In number for
the same period in Is years. There
were 4,SS0 failures with estimated as
sets at $2T, 4T5.5l4 and liabilities of
SGT, 064, 2oS
In the face OF these facts a person
would be foolhardy 20 declare that
business has not prospered under Re
publican control The record of the
past four years. or since Mckinley
took office In Washington, shows
steady decline in the number of fall
ures and In liabilities. This is, OF
course. an isolated trade fact, but when
Ii is combined with the other factors
of the business situation an interest
ing condition i discovered.
The bank clearings throughout the
country have steadily grown, showing
infallbly that business Is increasing.
Railroads and other corporations are
paying dividends without a question as
to earning capacity. Our foreign com
merce has risen TO an Importance and
n volume unprecedented In the history
of the country. and In the face of all
these gigantic trade movements the
failures have grown to the smallest
number In Is years.
Does the intelligent voter wish to
change this condition of affairs? Does
he desire to create condition where
business may fall off. failures Increase
and debts be paid In a deprecated cur
rencyl If he does. let him vote for

clash between the officers and 500 strik-
ers yesterday morning.
The Oneida colliery having been in OPP
Grafton since the strike began. the union
men at Oneida and Sheppton, where
many of the employees Of the Oneida
and Derringer collieries of Coke Bros.
live. decided to close the mine. As the
nonunion men went to work they Were
asked by the strikers TO remain at home.
Some turned back and others did not.
Those who went to the colliery were
stoned. One of the nonunion employees
attempted to draw a revolver. but the
weapon was taken from him. and in the
beating he received he had several ribs
broken.
As the small mine locomotive used in
hauling coal from the No. , and No. j
collieries to the Oneida breaker pulled
up on the road near the latter colliery a
crowd of women blocked the track. The

stoned the superintendent, who was

who had been brought down from Beaver
Meadow to prevent trouble attempted to
intercept the mob. but they were power
less to do anything and retired to the en-
CINE room. Just as the officers got close
to shelter shot was fired. This was
followed by another, and in a few sec

man of the Forty-seventh volunteer in
fantry. who have recently returned to
their homes in Whitestone, l.. l., while
their regiment was fighting with the Fill
pinos at Albay, Sergeant Fowler also of
Whitestone, shot and killed a handsome
young Filipino lieutenant named Marcus

Marcus was a son of Marcellue Marcus,
a wealthy Filipino, who is known all over
the island and who had hitherto been
friendly to the Americans, although his
son was bitterly opposed to them. The
death of his son, however, reused the
old man to a pitch of the greatest fury,
and he swore that he would spend every
dollar he owned to avenge his boy despite
the fact that young Marcus had been
killed in fair fight. Marcellue Marcus
accordingly raised troop of 5000 ma
tive followers and offered reward of
500 for every left ear OF member OF
the Forty-seventh regiment.
