New York-The movement of trade APP
pears again to be in the right direction,
although the pace is trife slow. There
has been a considerable reaction in iron
and steel, wool, cotton and other COM
modities, but this reaction has been in
the nature of reimbursement of prices to
conditions. The clearing house reports
do not indicate any important falling off
in the volume of business at any point

ings as compared with last year, but the
losses have in few cases been of any
consequence. The tendency in the stock
markets also has been toward improve
ment, and the close of the week finds
prices for most of the high grade securi-
ties on a materially higher level as COM
pared with the preceding week. Money
continues easy, and the street seems in
clined to be somewhat less bearish in
its views, although the average trader
is likely to be governed to a considerable
extent by policy of conservatism until
the political outlook becomes little more
clearly defined.
Chicago-How little speculative inter
est is beng taken IN the wheat market
is well Illustrated by Saturdays closing
price of that commodity for July deliv-
cry, which was within * cent bushel
of it's value at the end of the previous
week. The comparative Immortality of
its price would not be so noteworthy
were it not for the prevalence during the
week of conditions that formerly would
have been sufficient to cause violent and
excited fluctuations Although corn has
been commanding relatively much more
attention than wheat, an almost similar
result attended its contracted fluctuations,
the July price Saturday afternoon being
only asc higher than it was at the end
of the previous week. There has been
good shipping demand for corn, and no
scarcity of the wherewithal to satisfy it,
with a promising outlook for next crop as
far as it has gone There is so little
known positively about the surplus of
previous crops in farmers hands that
speculative sentiment is largely governed
by the receipts from day to day.

Advices from Vigan, Luzon, via Ma
Mia, say that Maj. March, with his de-
tachment of the Thirty-third regiment,
overlook what is believed to have been
Aguinaldo's party about 100 miles moral
east of Vigan. The Americans killed or
wounded an officer, supposed to be Agui-
naldo, whose body was removed by his
followers.
Aguinaldo had 100 men, Maj. March
125. The American commander struck
Aguinaldo's outpost about a mile outside
of La Cat, killing four Filipinos and cap
turing two. From the latter he learned
that Aguinaldo had camped there for the
night. Although exhausted and half
starved, Maj. March's men entered La
Cat on the run. They saw tie insurgents
scattering into the bushes or over the
plateau. A thousand yard beyond the
town, on the mountain side, the figures
of twenty-five Filipinos, dressed in white,
with their leader on a gray horse, were
silhouetted against the sunset. The
Americans fred volley and saw the Off
Ger drop from his horse. His followers
fled, carrying the body. The Americans,
on reaching the spot, caught the horse,
which was richly saddled. Blood from a
badly wounded man was on the animal
and on the ground. The saddle bags con-
tanned Aguinaldo's diary and some pri-
vate papers, including proclamations.
Maj. March, believing that the Fill
pinos had taken to a fiver which is a
tributary to the Chico, followed it for
two days, reaching Tiao, where he. learn
ed that a party of Filipinos had descend
ed the river on a raft with the body of
a dead or wounded man upon litter COW
cred with palm leaves. There the com
mand beat the surrounding country for
six days longer, but without finding any
trace Of the insurgents.

Topeka from the Kansas wheat belt. says
the State will harvest S5.000,000 bushels.
and that harvesting il about TO begin.
Nothing can occur now to injure the crop
except destructive storms, as the earth
has been regularly soaked with timely
rains.
Inspector Mckenzie and grain men say
the greatest danger threatened is in the
dearth of laboring men to harvest the
great crop. Sumner County, which alone
has an acreage of 294,ot0. viii have TO
get at least LOCO extra men. The same
condition exists in twenty other counties

the average japanese immigrant" says
the inspector, ''the abundance and condi-
ton of wearing apparel, the amount of
cash he possesses, the diversified indus

opinion, to deprive the so-called influx

famous by scalping thirteen Indians in

family. Thirteen young Indians came up

he threw around five Indians and bound
them together, while his wife held the
others at bay with a rifle. After he had
killed and scalped the five, he killed the
other eight Such a feat was never be-

Six persons were killed by an explosion

dead are: William Broehm, Mrs. William
Broehm, three children of Mr.. and Mrs.
Broehm, ages ranging from 2 to Z years;
II. Stevens, a brother of Mrs. Broehm.
The cause of the explosion is not known.
The supposition is that about twelve
pounds of the deadly explosive was too
near the stove and became overheated
and exploded No one was left to tell
how the accident occurred, as every oc-
cupant Of the house was killed. The re-
mains of the unfortunate victims were
literally blown to pieces and beyond all
semblance of recognition. Broehm was
