BOSTON NEGROES WANT WAR.
Threaten to Send a Force to Clean
Out New Orleans.


Boston, Mass, Aug. The cream
of Boston's negroes crowded into st. |
Paufs Baptist church, on Camden |
street, tonight, and. led by Lillian
Clayton Jewett, white woman de-
clared war on New Orleans.
The recent disturbances in the
Creole City were denounced an out
rage on the colored race, which de-
veloped into warlike howl for free
dom, war and vengeance. So rabid
did the feeling grow that from the
front there arose a man who wished
the white reporters to get out, de-
nouncing them as white traitors"
but they were allowed to remain.
Lillian Jewett is the notoriety seek
ing young woman who went to South
Carolina to bring the Baker family
to Boston. She was introduced by
Chairman Jack as lone who had
gone down into the lioL 8 den, put
her hands in the lions mouth and
dawn out q PRICE Later she was
called the white pegro'' She said:
There are 150,U00 men ready on the
Congo river to come TO this country
to fight for US and annihilate the
\ whites. They will come in ships, if
they can; If they can't, they will
swim"
This, it is claimed by the negroes,
is but a beginning of crusade
against the alleged atrocities of the
south.
Over $500 was collected to equip
the crusaders and send a secret
agent ahead to New Orleans.

GENERAL REVIEW
 OF WEEKLY TRADE
Reasonable to Look for Encour-
 aging Symptoms.
IMPORTANT SALE OF STEEl
During Last Week There Was Increas- ed Demand for Bar Iron from Max CTS ofAgricultural Implements
 and Car Builders

New York, August 3.-R. c. Dun and Company's review of trade will say:
 It is often hard to read encouraging symptoms of general business in declaring prices of commodities, but just now it is reasonable to look for them. Some raw materials and some manufactured pro- ducts in one stage removed from the raw are selling at lower prices than at any time since last years advance set in, but there is confidence among buyers that the downward swing is nearly over, while sellers are adopting a cautious policy, which until recently characterized the at titude of buyers. Iron and steel markets
 were startled by reports of sales of steel
 bars at go cents per hundred, but business at the same time was the largest in
 months at Chicago a basis of about SIPS. Increasing demand for bar iron from makers of agricultural implements and car builders was a feature, contracts placed being estimated at 10000 tons in bars and plates.
 The trade believes that orders will in- crease as the season advances and that total needs of iron consumers will com- pare we'll with last year. Heavy bids ap- pear for foundry iron, buyers being un- easy with output reducing, and selling
 prices of many descriptions approximating cost. Export orders increase and makers do not fully accept reports of purchases of foreign rails for delivery in the South. Some traders are not satisfied with the result of the Chicago conference, pointing to the report of production of pig iron in the first half of the year exceeding all rec -ords and contrasting it with recent dull markets.
 Copper exports in July are estimated at 1O,661 tons against 7,150 in 1899, and the amount coming into sight in the last half of the year for home consumption is only 65 5025 tons, a decrease of 19,467 tons. The foreign demand for bituminous coal is heavy, but producers hesitate to contract shipments while prices tend upwards Ship ments of boots and shoes from Boston were eS4S cases against 6S,S0S last week, but
 a year ago were 10S 045 The present move ment is more in specialties, and trade In staple lines remains dull, many shops
 working about one-third capacity. Leather is weaker some lines declining a cent, but
 there is more activity. W hile prices are above the 1899 opening in woolens they are materially below figures reached later last season. The wool market has been more active. Wide sheetings are reduced b to | 20 per cent, but the decline attracts more | business.
 Failures for the week were 22S in the United States against 1S2 las tyear, and A in Canada against 23 last year.

heavy business Is uncovered and readily booked, pointing to demand being still present and awaiting disposal
 The crop situation, as a whole, Is better. The outlook as to corn is for 200 000, ,0O0- bushe1 crop. The spring crop is turning out better in quality and quantity than expect ed and there has been an unquestionable improvement in cotton crop conditions. The yield of apples will be the largest for many years, and fruits generally are yield ing literally and commanding good prices.
 The iron and steel industry furnishes the most notable example of reduced prices, inducing a heavy business, and while the outlook Is still confused one, the volume of trade in finished material, notably bars and plates, is very large.
 Foundry pig iron has been in better de- mand, but the concessions and the drift of crude prices generally Is toward a lower level.
 More export inquiry is reported for rails at the West and for iron at the South, but ship room scarcity obstructs business. Tex tile demand is still uncertain, the future of prices not being clearly outlined
 Tn cotton goods some irregularity is onted The raw material Is lower on fuller real izing that the crop outlook has improved and that high prices are check to demand Wide sheetings have been marked down in price this week, and while the Fall River
 
 sisted upon, shading in these goods is re- ported at other Eastern centers.
 The cereals are all lower this week, partly on better crop reports, partly on lower ca bies, but largely on the growth of bearish feeling after the late reaction Beef prod ucts are generally high on army demand Of the metals, lead is actually higher on improved demand, while tin is seeking lower level in sympathy with foreign mar hets and increased supplies
 Wheat, including flour, shipments for the week aggregate 3,327 O03 bushels against D. 365, f43 bushels last week; All 6l4. bushels in the corresponding week of lS99 All 3l2 in lsS; S,SOS477 in 1897 and 2I47,S5O in 1896. From July l to date this season wheat ex- ports are 14,56S,86 bushels against S50S. .9o6 last season and 14,426, 122 in 1S9S-99
 Corn exports for the week aggregate B. Sos,O bushels against 3264,74 last week, 5,oZi,06 in this week a year ago, 2S56 923 in le9s, 3,223SS5 in 1897 and ,257 4S3 in 1896 From July to date this season corn exports are lS'sIS,z1 bushes against 2, ,045 201 last season and 13,5l4, 392 in 1S9S-99

 Trade conditions still favor the buyers. The general fall demand, though fair in view of midsummer conditions, is still be- low expectations and below a year ago. Bank clearings are at the lowest for two years past and failures are slightly more numerous though no marked tendencies are perceptible. On the other hand, gross railway earnings hold the percentage of gain previously shown, and where prices are made low enough to satisfy buyers a

NATERNORKS FEATURE
City May Have to Buy the
Dam to Gain Control Of
Source Of Supply.
SCALDED BY HOT WATER
Several Men, While Working With
An Engine Boiler, Are Scalded
BY the Boiling Water.

There are several thousand things
to be considered about the proposed
water works plant for this city, and
they come up one by one. One of the
early ones for solution arises from the
question of where to secure water.
Messrs. Davis, Davis aud Bruner own
the dam at the river which backs
water for miles above and i'm one way
or another the water for the city will
be taken from their "pond.n If it is
taken directly they want pay and if
it is taken from an underflow at one
side, they will feel equally damaged. .
The dam company offer its holdings
to the city for Sll, 900 which would
dispose of the trouble; and in case of
the city's refusing to buy, damage
suit is very likely to result. The lola
Milling Company, which is these
gentlemen's business name, paid
out good money when they secured
the privilege of building their dam
and the laws of the State give
them rights and protect them. On
the other hand, Mr.. ID, Horville was
never paid cent for the damage
which his farm was supposed to sus.
tain and it is on his place that the city
has thought most of building as there
is a knoll in the woods on his farm
which even in the big floods always
remains out of water. The law ON
the subject of mill rights will have to
be studied before anything is settled
and then the fathers must take the
dam which they want by mill site,
or the mill which they don't want by
n dam site, or compromise on Dams
site.
Aren't you glad you're not a council
man?
