WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-It is not gen.
orally known that the War Department,
a short time ago, asked the Civil-service
Commission TO recommend a number Of
persons who had passed the examination
for positions as stenographers and type
writers for service in the Philippines. The
Civil-service Commission certified the names
Of thirty people to the War Department
TO fill these positions. When they came
here TO accept the positions at a salary of
$500 a year and were told the service
would take them to the Philippines there
were only four out of the thirty who would
accept the Position. In consideration OF
this fact, the Civil-service Commission has
decided to set apart day for the special
examination of persons desiring to accept
this service. The date is not decided on.
It is suggested that there may be many
people in Southwest Texas who can read
and write Spanish as well as English and
translate both languages with equal fiuency
who might desire one of these positions in
the Philippines.

Steel Tube Trust Proposed.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 29.-The Evening
Bulletin says: For the past three weeks
negotiations have been foot in Phila-
delphia looking towards the control of the
steel tube industry in the United States by
organizing a corporation with over $780,
100000 Everything has been kept quiet and
nothing has leaked out on the street. al
though the presence OF big financiers and
iron and steel magnates in the office of w.
w. Gibbs, in this city, has aroused various
rumors. Mr.. Gibbs was not in his office to-
day, and it was stated he left for Pittsburg
last night and would not return until Mon
day. His secretary denied any knowledge Of
the combination. The Bulletin, neverthe-
less, has it from reliable authority that the
project is being promoted and that w. w.
Gibbs is the prime mover in the affair. The
financial end is being handled by Moore &
Schley, brokers, of New York. The syndi-
cate has secured the exclusive license,
der American patents, to manufacture steel
tubing by new English process, which re-
duces the cost of manufacture nearly so
per cent"

OF ALL OTHERS.
Army of New Trade Entries Makes
Failure Record Insignificant-
RumOr of Steel Tube Trust.

NEW YORK, Dec. 29-Bradstreet's in its
issue to-day says: 1.-The business year 1900
was not so good as the optimists had hoped
for, but. on the other hand, ii failed TO
justify most of the pessimistic predictions
with which the advent of a year of a pres
idential election was greeted In some re-
spects. indeed, it would seem if it suf-
fered because of close comparison with a
year of such enormous expansion and in
tense activity in all branches of trade, spec
ulation and industry as 1899, rather than
because of any special effects of short
comings of the year itself. In many re-
spects, indeed, and measured by different
standards, the closing year of the century
has witnessed many gains over 1899. though
it is probable that the entire turnover,
measured in dollars or in profit, was not
so great as in the latter year. If aggre-
gated bank clearings be taken as a guide,
then business was smaller, and yet if clear
irgs at the great speculative center, New
York, are deducted, an actual gain is
shown in the rest of the country over 1899.
In speculation in stocks undoubtedly
smaller business was done, the falling off
from last year being probably one-fifth.
Speculation in the cereals was less active,
and the results in this line were certainly
depressing to the bull element On the
other hand cotton witnessed the greatest
speculation and the highest prices paid fo-
at least a decade. Crop yields were rather
smaller as whole, but il is unquestionable
that the actual money value of the crop
was far in excess of last year. Prices
reacted from their high point but the de-
cline was small as rule, except in iron
and wool, and the break brought in new
Ccnsumptive buying, which had been dis
Outraged by the rapidity of the advance in
1899.
Mercantile failures were slightly more nu-
merous, and liabilities were fractionally
larger than in 1892 but were far below
recent previous years, and.sdf it be kept In
mind that new army of $4,000 men en-
tered business during the year the small
increase in failures can be hardly regarded
as significant. There were two great indus
trial conflicts during the year, that of
building hands at Chicago, and of coal
miners in Pennsylvania. which tended, In
conjunction with election uncertainty and
textile mill shutdowns, to check trade dur
ing portions of the year, but industry
otherwise was quite active at good wages.

waiting on the senate.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-Numerous let
tiers coming to the State Department
from business interests in all parts Of the
country urging negotiations with various
foreign countries TO protect existing export
interests or to secure new openings for our
foreign trade. These letters often specify
the PARTICULAR markets which they seek
and the opportunities for expanding trade.
The department. however, can make no
satisfactory reply, owing to the nonaction
of the Senate on the pending treaties. So
soon as the Senate shall have expressed its
purpose in dealing with reciprocity conven-
tiOns, the department will be able to an
swer these numerous inquiries and requests.
In the meantime, further progress with
these conventions is impracticable.

cay, and, unless undue opposition develops.
will not ask the friends of the ship sub
sidy to give priority to his measure. He
is of opinion now that the time before
the expiration of the morning hour each
day will suffice to dispose of the bill and
send it TO conference, but if the unexpected
should happen he may be forced TO contest
the right of way with the shipping bill.
The senator expressed perfect confidence
that there would be no filibustering against
the army bill.
