THE PENN,s PENSION FUND.

The Pennsylvania Railroad pension
department is now a fully equipped de-
partment of the service, and during the
month OF January the board of Off
GERS at their several meetings acted
upon the cases Of 1913 employees who
were relieved from the first of the pres
ent year and fixed the monthly pension
allowance to be paid to each of such
retired employees, the aggregate of
which amounts of over 100000 per
annum. The employees relieved repre-
sented all grades of the servicS there
being eight officers, chief clerks and
special agents; 1873 laborers, 80 fore
men, assistant foremen and other
maintenance of day men; SO black
smiths and machinists; 81 enginemer
and roundhousemen, and IS trainmas-
tiers, conductors and train, yard and

French's field guns, keeping all aid
away. Yet they fight stubbornly against
the "rednecks." Their dead and wound
ed are numbering every post; their store
wagons are flaming around them; their
oxen, which should be their transport,
are slain by the artillery or are mad
with fright and thirst; they themselves
seem to be fighting for nothing better
than to justify their presidents men
ace that he would stagger humanity by
the lives the war would cost.
On other fields of warfare the news
which has reached London favors the
British campaign. 1t is true that the
Beers claim a success Tuesday on the
Tugela, and assert that they drove back
a body of British troops who were try
ing to cross the river, but from infOr-
nation Of a later date we know that
the passage of the river was successful
whether General Butler has a large
Boer force before him or a small rear
guard. The latter seems most prob
able.
An impression is gaining ground in
Sir Redvers5 headquarters that the
Beers are merely covering a retire
ment of their entire force. General
Whites guns at Ladysmith have been
turned on Boer positions along the Klif
river to prepare the way for the ad-
vancing of the relief force.
AT Colenso it is reported that General
White had made a sortie and had cap
tured some of the wagons of the re-
treating Beers.
In the north of Cape Colony a fresh
British advance seems to have begun,
the Beers giving way in front of Arun-
del and at Stormberg, and naturally,
both from Natal and from Colesberg,
the invaders of the British colonies are
streaming back to their own country
to help their hard-pressed comrades
on the Modder river. From all ac-
counts, however, it will be impossible
for them to give any material assist
ance, for Lord Roberts, with the aid of
General French's cavalry, seems to be
easily able both to hold General Cron-
je closely invested and drive off in de-
tail such reinforcements as appear in
the neighborhood of Paardeberg.
Mr.. Balfour announced in the house
of commons at 1890 O'Clock this morn
ing that no further news regarding
General COME had been received by
the government. He had sent to the
war Office during the hour and he as
serted that nothing had come to hand
there. General Cronje, therefore, is
presumably still unbeaten. No other
construction is placed upon the three
days silence of Lord Roberts.

WHY WHISKY Is SENT TO SEA.
Benefits Of an Ocean Voyage Before
Putting 1t on the Market,

Large shipments of whisky in bond
will be made from Baltimore to Euro
pean ports within the next month or
two, says the Baltimore Sun. A ship
ment of 1,5OO barrels is now nearly
ready for export, and about 1000 bar
rels more will soon be ready.
While some of the whisky will be
sent by Baltimore owners, the most of
it will be from Cincinnati and other
western cities. After being kept in
European warehouses for six months
or a year the greater part will then be
brought back to this country for sale.
The whisky to be sent out is of the
1891 and 1892 distillation, which must
be taken out of the bonded warehouses
because the eight-year limit has ex-
pired. Whisky may be stored in a
bonded warehouse eight years without
being subject to the internal revenue
tax of $l.10 a gallon. At the expiration
of eight years it must be taken out.
Rather than pay the tax and lose the
use OF the money until the sale of the
goods, some owners prefer to ship their
surplus stock to the other side and
store it there until needed, claiming
that the cost of freight both ways and
storage in Europe will be less than the
cost of meeting internal revenue re-
qulrements at a time when there Is no
demand for the goods. The tax is only
required TO be paid when whisky Is
put on the market for consumption, so
that goods shipped to Europe in bond
are not taxed. They are brought back

CRIMINALS.

The alarming increase of juvenile
criminals in Germany is puzzling the
Legislators. In 1885 the juvenile Often
ders numbered 3O,7O4, the total rising
to 45,504 in 1894, and to 4 1873 in 1898.
The increase of all criminals in 1898
over the preceding yea was 3 per cent,
an increase disproportionate to the
growth of population. The juvenile
criminals, however, increased alarm
ingly, the number in 1898 being 6 per
cent over that of 1897.

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE.

NEW YORK, September 14-R. G.
Dun G. Co.'S weekly review of trade
tomorrow will say:
The tropical storm that devastated
the gulf coast, almost wiping out the
city of Galveston and doing damage IN
other parts of the country, caused re-
duction in the volume of business at
the South and railroads in the gulf
region have probably not shown their
maximum losses of earnings as yet;
but even after such catastrophe a re-
Operative power is shown. An added
cause of hesitation In business is the
order for a strike of anthracite coal
miners. Otherwise the working force
has increased this week, for operations
are resuming at steel mills, and the
Michigan-Peninsular car plant and the
Deering Harvester Works have started
I'D after seven weeks idleness, with
three thousands hands each. From
many quarters of the west and south
west a better distribution Of merchan-
disc Is reported in jobbing, and retail
circles. The weather has continued
favorable for the maturing corn crop,

generally beyond danger; but damage
to cotton by the storm is still an I'M
| known quantity Prices OF staple cont
mudlties are higher for the week,
hoisted BY the sharp rise In cotton, but
in manufactured products there is 1T
tie change, though steady increase OF
business at the current level is salts
factory.
| Cotton closed last week at the
| highest price in ten years and a large
short interest was awaiting reaction.
!. Instead, there came news OF che dlSas-
ter in Texas and sensational reports
| that a million bales had been destroy
ed. At the New York exchange trad
ing was far in excess OF any previous
records, and prices rose by bounds.
Subsequently there were less exagger-
ated reports from the South, but the
market failed to respond and mld0llng
uplands advanced to IL cents. The
rise in the raw material caused sharp
advances in cotton goods. In one week
standard brown sheetings rose from
SGT to 6 cents, wide bleached sheetings
/ from 20 to 81 cents, standard brown
| drills from 5.67 to 5.37 and staple ging-
/ hams from to $50 cents. Buyers
| who have been dlaying for weeks are
anxious to secure liberal supplies, both
| instant and distant.
| Stocks in first hands were cleaned
| up, and sellers generally withdrew from
the market. Wheat rose above 80
| cents again, in the face of receipts for
| the crop year thus far S,415,956 bush
els larger than last year, while ex-
ports decreased 10,251,37S bushels, in
Guiding -four Reports of heavy rains
in some sections and injury to the
! crop, with better inquiries by foreign
| houses, explain the advance.
| More orders are being received at
| iron mills, and prices are steady. In
structural and finished material there
/ is much business and activity is be-
| coming almost universal in the iron
region. Steel rails are waiting for the
| agreement as to prices, which is expect
| ed to be reached next week. A reduc-
ton in keeping with other steel pro-
! ducts is considered certain, and then
| the market will be on a settled basis.

| the new basis and believe that nearly
| two million tons would be ordered at

PRODUCE.

CHICAGO, September 14.-Lack of
export demand was the dominating in
1uence in wheat to-day, causing a de-
cline of Zee in October. Corn closed
hc lower and oats a shade lower. Pro-
visions declined ~ TO 15c.
Wheat was fairly active The mar
ket opened strong, October at rs to
1880, helped by strong Liverpool
market and further rains in the north
west, which were again interfering
with threshing. Long wheat came out
at the start and dip to 757sc took
place, but offerings were well taken
and the market reacted to 76A Sc
The recovery was in a measure helped
by sale of 250, 900 bushels at st. Louis
The export demand, however, did not
make its appearance here and this
fact finally caused a resumption of liq-
uidation on a large scale. The close
was weak at the bottom, October 1ac
lower at 1850. New York reported 35
loads taken for export. Seaboard
clearances were put at 100000 bushels
Primary receipts were 1,265, 900 bushels
compared with 1,245,000 last year.
Minneapolis and Duluth reported 500
cars against 4S3 last week and l,022 a
year ago. Local receipts were 246 cars,
five of contract grade.
Corn was dull and featureless but
steady. The market was sustained by
unfavorable weather in the west by
light country offerings and good cash
business. Spot sales were reported at
400, 600 bushels. October sold between
39t2and 3slse and closed &c lower at
$3.50. Receipts were 525 cars.
Oats were almost at standstill,
what trading there was being sub
stantiaily at yesterdays figures. The
tone was rather easy. October sold be-
tween 22G sG21Nc. closing a shade
down at o17sc- Receipts were 327 cars.
Provisions were easier on heavy hog
receipts and under heavy pressure from
sellers of ribs. The shipping demand
was reported good. October pork clos
ed 71ae lower at 81 40; October lard
~ Gl0c down at S. 725aa, and October
ribs 15c depressed at 81 22h
