Manufactures Prospe.ed in 1899.

In bulletin sent out by Labor Com
missioner Cox on the 10th on the in
oustrial conditions in this state it
Is stated that at no time in its
history has Michigan enjoyed the same
general condition of prosperity as it
ala IN 1899. Manufactures are said to
nave been run to their full capacity,
laborers and skilled mechanics have
Deen employed at fair and improved
wages, the real estate business has inn
proved, lake traffic has been heavy, and
the mineral deposits have been devel-
oped to a wonderful degree. The aver
age daily wages in factories have in
creased from $1.37 per day in 1888 to
9l'59 IN 1899. In the canvass of nearly
1900 factories it was determined that
$40 OF them have increased their actual
capital Sc, 1884. In 1882 factories
OF thoSe canvassed there were found to
be employed total of "a, ,262 more enl-
ployes than in 1898. Il is estimated
that "A factories are able to pay their
employees weekly, IL per cent monthly,
ana II per cent semi-mOnthly. Seventy
Tour per cent of these factories report
an increase of business over 1898.

CONGRESSIONAL NOTES,

There exists a serious difference o1
opinion between the members of the
commerce committee of theat.1o houses
on the shipping subsidy bill. AS this
bill was offered in last congress the
premiums were largely for speed. This
means that the chief benefits would ac-
crue to the swift passenger carriers
and the high class freighters. Newly
constructed Atlantic liners would re-
ceive the greatest sums because they
naturally will be the speediest and
largest vessels. There are large
number of senator's and representa-
tives who think this is wrong in prin-
ciple. They say that the greatest ben
etits should go to the coarse freight
carriers These dissenters from the
plan of the original bills say that the
premiums should favor tonnage rather
than speed. These objections first
came from the men who are interested
in building up the commerce of the
Pacific.
Rep. Weeks, of Michigan. has intro
duced joint resolution reciting the
unsettled status of the people in the
islands acquired from Spain, and pro-
viding that for five years the President,
as commander-in-chief of the army and
navy shall continue military authority
in said islands, and that congress shall
deal with the subject at the expiration
of the fve-year period. In the mean
time, it is provided that reciprocity re-
ductions not exceeding 25 per cent may
be made on the products of the islands
brought to this country.

hour of danger, as it was through his

escaped in safety. All the pupils lost

doubtful if the conservatives would re-

on the 9th when the Beers, ousted
from their foothold inside the works,

England has taken heart. The situa-
Clon, however, is worse. The beleag-
ured force must have expended large
amounts of ammunition, which cannot
De replenished and must have lost a
number of officers and men. which is
counterbalanced, so far as the garrison
is concerned, by the greater loss of the
Boers. 1t is also reported that Gen.
Whte is in need of relief and is short
OF ammunition.
A report from Col. Pitcher of the
British forces says that on Jan. he
completely defeated the Beers in com
mand at Sunnyside laagar, taking the
laager and capturing 40 prisoners, with
a loss of only two privates killed and
one lieutenant wounded.
The guns which were captured from
zen. Butler at Colenso have been
mounted in the hills CONTAINING the
drift over the Tugela river at Spring

At the cabinet meeting on the 9th
the subject of the alleged corner in
hemp was discussed in connection with
the numerous requests which have
been received to open a number of
ports in the Philippines for the expor-
tation of hemp to the United States.
Secretary Wilson said he had received
a large number of letters on the sub
iect, some favoring and others protest
ing against opening the ports for the
purpose stated. 1t seems to be the set
tied policy of the government to open
all of the Philippine ports as rapidly
as troops can be spared to garrison
them.

Fence in the Reservoir

AT the council meeting recently the
question of fence aroundthe settling
basin was discussed, and whether it
should be merely cattle fence or a
"kid" fence. The following from the
X. c. Journal would seem very per-
tinent and suggestive.
Morris Carey, an ll-year-old boy, who lived
with his parents at 2lO6 Jarboe street, was
drowned in the reservoir at Twenty-hrst and
Holly streets yesterday evening at $3.50 O'Clock.
He had been playing with a number of other
boys near the edge of the reservoir Young
Carey was chasing frog along the edge of the
reservoir and jumped over the iron railing
around the water. The space between the
railing and the reservoir is but about two feet
in width, and the boy in his eagerness to catch
the frog, slipped and fell into thirty feet OF
water. Bert Snyder, an ls-year-old boy, who
was near jumped in the water and attempted
to rescue the Carey boy, but on account of
the sopng sides of the reservoir, up which 1t
was impossible to climb with his burden, he
was unable to get the drowning boy out of the
water.

SHELTER ON FIRE AGAIN
Lanyonville Works Caught Fire at 3
O'clock Saturday, But by
Desperate Effort Was
Saved.

BY very close call repetition of
the terrible fire which destroyed the
Lanyonville works of the Lanyon
Zinc Company was prevented. The
works have just been fully rebuilt ard
Thursday blocks three and four were
charged and fired for the first time.
A protecting cap which surrounds the
furnace aues where they pass through
the roof had not been put in place and
about o'clock last Saturday the
furnace men discovered that the roof
had caught fire next one of these
chimneys. There was an immediate
bustling and the men at the works
collected quickly and worked like
good fellows until the flames had BIZ en-
extinguished.
Had the flames gotten beyond con-
troll the same part of the smelter which
burned before would have gone and
the same idleness of months would
have been before the workmen, with
dire possibility that the company
would have been disheartened and de-
clined TO build so far from abundant
water supply. AS it is little work
and money will repair all damage
and no time will be lost from
operations.

The Red Whiskered Man.

lola people remember the queer
little man who drifted in here last
month and stretched a wire between
two park trees and gave wire-walk-
ing exhibition. The following from
the Kansas City Journal indicates
that lola was entertaining a celebrity
unawares: There is a strange look
ing little red whiskered man to be
seen at Helm Electric park this week
in an open air act which will command
the riveted attention of the onlooker
and try the tension of his or her nerves.
This man is an Afrikander, a native
of Grahamstown, Cape Colony, and
he has been for years the champion
thread-wire walker of the world. He
has challenged the world to perform
his remarkable feat and none has ac-
cepted. He has walked en- a wire
thread over all the cataracts and
falls in South Africa, and came to
America to cross Niagara Falls on a
number 81 piano wire, hoping to beat
Blondin's record, but the law does not
now permit such a dangerous feat.
Professor Octavius Charles Cogan is
most daring, and he will attempt
something over the fountain pool
which has never been seen in Kansas
City before. He balances himself and
sings while on the wire, feat seem

AS the Manila slab has arrived it is
desired that immediate decision he
made as to the expenditure of this
money. The marble slab proves on
examination outside its crate to be but
three-quarters of an inch thick and
Mr.. G. G. Null says he fears it will
not stand this climate year.
The question to be decided now is
up to the donors of the fund. Shall
the money on hand be expended in
purchasing base for the monument
or shall it be applied on new monu-
ment. The best and surest way
to decide this would be the
selection of a committee from the
donors to examine the monument here
and make a decision at once in the
matter.
