RRADSTREET'S REVIEW.
General Outlook Retains Most Encouf-
aging Features.


Bradstreet's says: Some Of the irreg-
nlarities are visible in the general trade
and industrial situation, the results OF
the working of counter currents in va
rious lines. but, taken as a whole, the
general outlook retains the most en-
couraging features noted for some time
past in these columes. Favorable re-
ports as to retail distribution and as to
collections come from Southern, West
ern and Northwestern markets, due to
better weather. Advances in wages of
soft coal miners, of stove molders, and
of other workers allied to the iron and
steel industry would seem to point 10
labor conditions retaining most of the
favorable features which have recently
made them features of favorable re-
mark.
Sugar is higher, mainly owing to the
growing strength of raw material.
Wheat and corn, among the bread.
stuffs, have been weaker, rejecting an
other one of those short swings In
prices which have been a feature of the
former market, but also expected heavy
shipments from Argentina and good es-
timated crop reports from the South
and West. In the Central West, wheat
crop advices are disappointing, COM
plaint of winter killing more than off,
setting increased acreage.
Wool remains one of the soft spots in
the market, and though little more
business has been done this week than
last, concessions are easier to obtain
and prices are quotably lower.

Victims of Canniba1s

Vancouver, B. c., March 26.--A
shocking story comes by the Warrimoo
from Dutch New Guinea of the captu1 9
by the natives of three officers of the
steamer General Pei. The captives
were subjected to the most horrible
tortures and were devoured while yet
living by the cannibalistio natives.
While the General Pei was in Dutch
New Guinea, four of her officers went
ashore and were about to take photo

Adopted by the Senate.

Washington, March 26.-The senate
today adopted the conference report on
the Puerto Rican tariff bill by vote
of 35 to 15, practically strictly party

report, but Stewart, Silver, OF Nevada,

of discussion was consumed mostly by
Tillman, who made fierce attack on
the measure, and accused the Republi.
can senators and the Republican party
of indiscretion, hypocrisy and dirty
work.

NOT MUCH PROGRESS.

British Operations Checked in South
London, March 27.-Except for the
unfortunate occurrence" as Lord
Roberts calls it, which resulted in the
killing of Lieutenant Colonel Crabbe,
Lieutenant Colonel Codrington and
Captain Trotter, the campaign presents
no new features. The mishap to the
guards officers is testimony to their
bravery, but not their discretion. They
met party of five Beers whom they
tried to capture. The Beers took refuge
on a .kopje, where three of their COM
rades were hidden, and within five
minutes every member of the British
party was hit.
Apparently little progress is being
made toward the relief of Mafeking.
A private telegram from lieutenant at
Kimberley, dated Wednesday, March
81, announces that he was at the point
of starting for Mafeking, presumably
with the relief column.

Havana, March Ex-Governor Gem
eral Wood has recently had interviews
with persons of influence, who have
stenuously urged the taxation OF valu-
able property rather than each bag of
sugar as it is manufactured. Those
who hold this view contend that under
the present system impediments are
thrown in the way of production.
They point out that many valuable
estates have been laying idle and un-
productive for years, some even having
complete sugar plants. The owners,
who are rich men. are living in Paris,
Madrid and other European cities,
quite untaxed for their property in
Cuba.
General Wood feels that if these
properties are taxed, their owners will
be forced either to sell them or to make
them productive.
The meeting called today of those
favoring universal suffrage resulted in
failure. The only persons present
were about 90 negroes and several
small boys.

THE CLARK CASE.
1t VIII Probably Come Up Next Mon
day.

1t Will Probably Come Up Next Mon
day.
The expectation is that the Clark case
will be called up in the Senate on Monday.
Every one except Clark himself is in the
dark as to what course will be followed
by the defense. 1t is even a matter of
Some doubt whether Clark has made uu
his mind what he will do. While many
senators have expected that he would re-
sign and still think he may, the fact that
he has delayed so long dislocates their
calculations. If there is any senator on
the floor who is going to champion Clark's
case he has not yet announced himself,
and the assumption is that there will be
no resistance of the resolution declaring
the seat vacant. When the matter is cali
ed up for action the committee will answer
any questions that may be asked, but no
debate Is contemplated, unless some cham
pion of ClarkS appears to contest the re-
port of the committee AS far as members
of the Senate generally know, there will
be nothing to interfere with an imme-
date vote when the resolution is laid be-
fore the Senate, unless Clark resigns
meanwhile.
Clark contemplates visit to Europe,
and some of his friends want him to go
to Montana first to lay out plans for an
other contest there.
