Says There Is II Noticeable Decline
From Last Years Record.
NEW YORK. Feb. S,-R. q. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade will say
today; This year starts with much Of
the years business already done and
all comparisons will prove misleading
II that fact is not taken into account
Last year the certainty of great i'm
provement had come before the year
opened and there was rush to get in
orders before the works became crowd
ed and prices advanced This year
the works are already crowded for
months ahead in most lines and prices
had already advanced so far that a
recoil had already commenced in the
home branches and was thought prob
able In others.
With the exception of the wooden
manufactures, the chief industries
have met less new business in January
than last year, though deliveries ON
previous contracts have been larger
than year ago In the work turned
out, last month probably surpasses
all others.
Failures for the week have been sSs
In the United States against 224 last

LONDON. Feb. 2.-There is no off,
cial news from General Buffers head
quarters, and the only information
which has reached London in any way
supporting the news that he has re-
crossed the Tugela is found in the As
sociated Press dispatches, announcing
Lord Dundonald's reconnaissance, and
which is taken to indicate a prelude
to renewed activity. AS the dispatch
Is three days old, and Lord Dundon-
aid found no difficulty in crossing the
river. 1t is not impossible that General
Butler may have moved in the interim.
and public anxiety is again centered

Commissions Plan for Govern

FINAL REPORT MADE PUBLIC
Recommend a Supervisory Commits
sion to Watch and Advise
the Native Officials.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1.-The presi-
dent today transmitted to congress the
FIRST volume Of the report Of the phil
ippine commission. It is volume Of
Zs4 pages, and is signed by Professor
schurmann, Admiral Dewey, Colonel
DENLY and Professor Worcester.
The principal subject dealt with is
the plan Of government proposed BY
The commission.
The commission announces itself un-
qualifedIy in favor Of government
oi the Philippines analogous to that
of tie territories Of the United states.
with a governor to be appointed BY the
president.
They say it is desirable that the In
habitants Of the archipelago should
enjoy a large measure Of home rule in
its internal affairs. their towns 10 en-
joy substantially the rights and priv
ileges Of the towns in a territory. The
provinces should be vested with sub
stantialIy the same functions Of a
county in a territory. This system
might re applied to the viscayan ISL
ands at once and beginning might
be male on the coast Of Mindanao.
Suffrage should be restricted by edu-
cationaI or property qualifications. or
both. ~
This system would necessItate
mall body of American officials Of
great ability AMI integrity, and OF pa
tience and tact, in dealing with the
other races, and on this account the
commission recommends that they
should be paid high salaries. Their
main function would be to advise town
and county councils in the discharge
OF duties and to watch the collection
OF the revenues and its expenditures.

LONDON. Feb. 2.--Spencer wilkin-
son, in the Morning Post today, dis
cusses a long dispatch from Winston
churchill. dated at Pietermaritxburg.
and describing the sitsation in Natal.
He says:
This dispatch deserves to be closely
read 1t is an appeal to the public at
home, and as it has been passed by the
censor may be taken to represent the
feeling OF General Buffers army. Mr..
Churchill represents the difficulties of
General Buffers task in concise terms.
The enemy will act with common
sense. They will place outposts on the
hills and keep back their main body
until they see the direction of General
Buffers movement. They will quickly
bring up the main body and extempor-
ice what defensive works they can,
in addition to such as they have pro-
frsely prepared in anticipation of var
ious possible advances.
That is what every one would ex-
peot them to do, and that their main
body can ride faster than General Bull
lers main body can walk, was also
pretty generally understood. The con-
sequence is that the Boer army cannot
be turned Wherever it is attacked.
it can present an entrenched front.
There are 1000 Beers watching
Ladysmith, the same number hold
ready to resist General Butler and 5000
kept in reserve to reinforce either body
In need. Thus. General Butler has to
attack $4,000 men entrenched on fa-
vorable ground. = For that purpose,
Mr. Churchill thinks he ought to have
$4,000 men instead of 25,OOO. In other
words, General Butler ought to have
another division.
This opinion comedies with the view
we have all along expressed--that the
center of gravity of the war lies in
Natal and that British victory there
would be decisive while complete
British defeat in Natal would have

Message Is Genuine.

Safety Of Ministers.

Washington, July 21.-(Spl)-3:30 p.
m.-The Chinese Minister, Mr.. WI
Ting Fang, communicated to the Sec
retary Of state two important telc-
grams this morning. The first is from
Sheng, director general of railroads
and telegraphs at Shanghai 1t says:
fortunately that Mr.. Conger's tele-
gram has come, an Imperial decree of
the 22nd Of this moon, corresponding
to July 1S, has been issued stating
thtt all ministers were safe, the insur-
gents firing on and killing each other.

the edct of the 22nd of this MOON

German Minister, who was killed by
anarchists, with regard to which Wig
orous measures are being taken for
their punishment, all the other minis
ters for whom strenuous efforts are
being made to afford protection are
fortunately unharmed"
Mr.. WI expressed chagrin over the
doubt that has arose over the genuine
ness of Congcr's message.
81 know 1t is correct said he.
"Some people seem to think that every
Chinese, from the noble class down to
the coolic Is a blackguard. Let them
think so. In few days they will find
that we are different" Mr.. WI spoke
in tone Indicating that he was deeply
| hurt.

children whom he loved, he met his
end. He met it bravely, he had no
fears of death. He did not shrink
back from the chill visagc of the spir-
it of the scythe and the glass, but he
went TO his grave like one who wraps
the drapery of his couch about him and
lies down to pleasant dreams
1t Is pleasant TO think that death
touched him kindly ana tendcrly as
the harpjst touches his harp gently,
not striking it, but laying his open
palm upon the strings to deaden its
vibrations; so our KIND friend has
passed away from time to eternity,
leaving behind him memory which
is precious to all with whom he came
in contact.

It was IN thnr eventful period Just be-

was called the irreprcssible conflict
between freedom and slavery, andu he
nobly and bravely stood up for the
rights of men, For the equality of all
men, high or low, rich or poor, black or
white, and some of his speeches on
this subject in the House of Represen-
tatiyes have attained the last honors
of American liberty, for extracts from
them have been printed in the school
books, and will be declaimed by pupils
in years to come as models of parlia-
| mentary cloqucnce. Other men with
less genius and less ability, but with
more sclf-seekng have risen TO higher
positions and have held them longer,

personal advancement or promotion.

question with him was simply, is 1t

his convictions with courage and
constuncy worthy of all admiration.
But cannot lingcr upon this. love
to think of him as member of our
bar and as an intimate associate, as

our bar received warmer or more gen
crous tributes at meeting called for
the purpose of paying tribute than were
paid to our deceased friend yesterday
He was AN ornament mt the bar. He
was not only eloquent, he was philos
optical, broad in his views, generous
in his character, kind and forgiving in
his nature, courteous in his manner,
he was indeed an example to initiate,
and Il man whose memory the members
of the bar who survive him viii long

But it was in his home and family
circle also that | love to think of him,
for in those years when was with him
the family of children that clustered
around him frequently hockcd to our
office; love TO think of that ideal home
where wife and children were bound
together by the ties of the warmest af-
fectlon. Love and freedom dwclt there
The door of that home was ever open
and all were welcome to share its gen
crous hospitality; and in his declining
years, in his old age, when these chill
dren for whom he cared so tendcrly in
their infancy, and over whose educa-
ton he watched with such great solici-
