China declared war against the world
when the Taku forts opened fire upon the
international fleet. The accounts of what
took place are unsatisfactory, the best
semi-official information being a dispatch
received at Berlin from Chefoo. The in
ternational fleet captured the northern
Taku forts after battle that lasted
seven hours, and the lighter-draught yes
sells pushed ON up the Pei-Ho. During
the bombardment of the forts shell ex-
ploded the Chinese magazine. The allies
sustained small damage in the fight. Six
men on board the British barkentine AL
gerine were wounded. The Russians and
japanese, now that the forts have been
forced, will land many troops, and Ameri-
can troops will proceed Immediately from
Manila to Tientsin.

REVIEW OF WEEKS BUSINESS.
Trade Comments of the Bradstreet
Commercial Agency.

Trade Comments of the Bradstreet
Commercial Agency.
Bradstreets commercial agency report
says: Measured by recent records and
recollections of business activity, the
present between-seasons dizziness seems
specially marked. and the reactionary
movement Of prices makes trade look
worse than it really is. Judged by such
indicators as railroad tariffs and the sta
tistics OF foreign trade, the volume Of
business doing is considerably larger than
year ago. The cereal markets have
held the bulk of the advance shown last
week on the strength of bad crop reports.
The acreage remaining in wheat is little
below that actually harvested year ago,
and owing to the favorable condition IN
the Southwest and on the Pacific coast
the general average June ! is better than
year ago; but spring wheat. owing to
lack of rain, promises much less favor
able results. The cotton acreage will be
larger, but the condition is much below
the average. Lower prices for iron and
steel have not met expectations of caus-
ing reduction in output. and the latest
furnace report indicates an actually larg-
er output and increased stock. The fail
ures for the week in the United States
number $780, as compared with 1S4 last
week, 30 in this week year ago, 2OI in
1898, 226 in 1897 and 265 in 1896. Fail
ures in the Dominion of Canada number

week a year ago, 10 in 1888, 81 in 1897

In a sense, the "press bureau" is next
in Importance to the chairman's head
quarters, since through it the reporters
and correspondents are furnished with
such news as the committee wishes to
give out. This bureau, however, is only
a small part of the committees machin-
cry for the distribution of correct political
gospel. The bureaus relations are main
" with the telegraphic news associatioas,
the metropolitan papers and the special
correspondents. The country journals
are fed with political news through the
medium of the big ready-print publish
ing houses and the concerns which sup
ply plate matter" copy for the ready
prints and the plates being furnished by
an editorial staff employed especially for
that purpose.
But both press bureau and ready print
matter departments sink into insignifi-
canoe compared with the document"
mill. 1t is the function of this depart
ment, which employs a writing and edi-
torial staff of it's own, to compile, print
and distribute the leaflets, the tracts, the
pamphlets, the handbooks and the post
tiers which campaign committees invaria-
bly, and perhaps rightly consider of such
vast Importance They have a big job
on hand, as will be readily understood
when it is known that in 1892 the Re
publicans put out upward of 1OOO00,O00
separate documents-more than one and
a third for every man, woman and child
in the United States-at cost for print
ing of almost 100000 and nearly as
much more for distribution.
1t has commonly, though not always,
been considered good committee practice
to issue translations into almost every
European language of nearly all the doc
uments got out in English, and the trou-
bles of the functionary who has to look
after this job are simply indescribable.
To begin with, he is generally and of ne
cessity ignorant of the languages into
which the documents are to be translat-
ed, and therefore quite incompetent to
judge the ability of those whom he has
to engage as translators of their work
when it is finished. His only safety lies
in engaging two persons familiar with

organization quite as elaborate and COM
plicated as that required 10 carry on the
most extensive of modern enterprises, the
collection and expenditure of a sum of
money so large as to require seven fig
ures for its expression, the selection and
employment, directly and indirectly, of
thousands of workers, the gathering and
dissemination of special information on
a scale not less extensive than that of a
great telegraphic news association, and
a hundred other things beside, none of
which can safely be intrusted to anyone
not an expert in his line.
Until 1896 campaign headquarters were
invariably established in the city of New
York, and according to an unwritten rule
they were almost always located in a
four-story house on Fifth avenue. That
year, however, both parties broke way
from the old order of things and housed
their chief headquarters in Chicago,
though each committee perforce main
tanned a branch in the metropolis. In
Chicago the forces of both committees
were quartered in modern office build
ings; in New York the Republicans took
one whole floor in handsome white mar
bic structure on Union Square, while the
Democrats occupied rooms in a we'll
known hotel not stones throw away.
The headquarters of a national cam
paign committee must of necessity be al
most as extensive as a big railroads cx-
ecutive offices, since room must be af-
forded for half dozen different sets of
employees, besides suites for the various
committee officials.

When she tagged the fast train and

bridge with 200 passengers, she was 10
years old, little sunbonneted country

was near Millgrove. a little station a few
miles east Of Marion. Among the pas

York When the train was near Mill
grove and going at sixty miles an hour
the engineer saw a little girl standing in
the middle Of the track waving a small
red petticoat az a danger signal. He re-
yersed his engine and applied the brakes,
which brought the train TO a sudden stop.
A few feet in front OF the engine was a
burning trestle that would have wrecked
the train and sent the passengers and
crew 10 death. The little girl explained
that she had been to school and was COM
ing home when she was attracted by the
smoke from the burning bridge. a mo-
ment later she heard the whistle Of the
approaching train. She had seen the rail-
road employees fag the trains with red
flags She was wearing a red skirt. and

Frenchmen arrived in France the Incl
