ipUN's REVIEW OF TRADE.
Normal Conditions Restored in Distri.
button of Merchandise.

New York, Sept 2S.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
Normal conditions have been fully re-
stored in the distribution of merchandise
the placing of orders stimulating the few
lines that seemed to drag. Resumption of
work has progressed rapidly in the steel
industry since the settlement of the labor
difficulty and there is little discord be-
tween employer and employed in other
lines. Stability of prices without imitation
is the rule, except where the unusual size
of crops introduces special factor.
Steadiness in quotations of corn at the
present high level is all that producers
could desire. Making full allowance for
the smaller yield, and the decrease in ex-
ports, there does not appear to be satis-
factory reason for the rise of Is cents over
price at this date in 1899. Shipments
from the Atlantic coast for the week were
72S0a0 bushels. against 1,560.01S bushels
last year and 2.954,477 bushels two years
ago. A heavier movement is expected,
owing to large buying for foreign account.

tion. Wheat is well sustained and still
better prices are promised by the heavy
export movement, which from all United
States ports for the week reached 5,26s, Ala

and 4,605.362 bushels In 1899. Weutern re-

HlloiIlSy oSSkS 10 S1OW inconsistent.
cies in Statements of Admiral.
Washington. Oct. 2.-The Schley
court OF inquiry made good headway
again yesterday, concluding with Ad-
miral Evans and hearing three new
witnesses, although the testimony of
the court adjourned for the day. Ad-
miral Evans testimony was along the
same general lines as was his state
ment of Monday, but some points were
presented in greater detail in response
to questions by Mr.. Raynor, who
sought to show inconsistencies in the
statements of the admiral
The new witnesses were Captain
Sigsbee, who commanded the scout
st. Paul during the Santiago cam
paign; Thomas Dienaide, newspaper
correspondent who was on the Texas
during the battle of July 8, and Chief
Yeoman Gustave E. Becker who was
a clerk to Admiral Sampson during
the war. Captain Sigsbee's testimony
covered his communications to Com
modore Schley upon the latter's arrival
off Santiago May 26, 1898, and at sub
sequent dates, and dealt with the state
OF the weather at that period. He
was asked great number of questions
by the court. Mr.. Dienaide described
the loop of the Brooklyn as seen from
the Texas. Mr.. Becker testified as to
dispatches sent by Admiral Sampson
to Commodore Schley.

SEVENTEEN MINERS PERISH.
Attempt to Close the Pit and Smother
the Fire Defeated by Explosions.

Attempt to Close the Pit and Smother
the Fire Defeated by Explosions.
Victoria B. c., Oct. 2.-Seventeen
men are dead as result of fire and
explosion in Extension mine No. 2,
belonging to the Wellington Colliery
company. The flames started from
curtain which caught fire from a min
ers lamp.
The mines are now closed to prevent
the ingress of air. This is the only
probable way of killing the fire and it
will take months perhaps to effect
the result desired. All efforts have so
far failed to prevent certain amount
of air leaking in and this has, once or
twice, caused explosions, which have
blown out stoppings. Such explosions
on large scale would utterly wreck
the mines, and it is feared that it
may happen at any moment. Premier
Dunsmuir has promised to find work
for at least half of the 500 men who are
thrown out of employment. All except
two of the victims have families and
relief funds have been opened in their
behalf. The bodies, of course. cam
not be recovered until the fire is extin-
guished.

was witness before the Schley naval
court of inquiry yesterday. His testi-
mony covered the entire period from
the time the Iowa left the port of Key
West, on the Goth of May, 1898, until

Admiral Evans said that before leav-
ing Key West on May 80 to Join the

Washington, Oct. 2.-Following is
the last weekly summary of crop con-
ditions to be issued by the weather
bureau this season: Heavy rains in
the upper Missouri valley and Mime
sofa interfered with farm work and

RemmeIl, Then Himself.
Iowa City, Sept. 2S.-William Hen
ick yesterday shot and fatally injured
his brother-in-law, Jahes Remmell,
then blew. out his own brains.
Henick is prosperous and promi-
nent farmer Lincoln township, and
has been quite prominent in local pol
itics. His brother-in-law is also a
well-to-do farmer and lives neighbor
to Henick. Relations between these
parties have been rather strained all
summer and the climax was reached
yesterday when dispute arose over
load of corn.
After the quarrel Henick left Rem
nell in the field and went to the house.
He soon returned with shotgun, and,
without warning fired at Remmell, the
shot taking effect in the latter's
neck. Remmell dropped to the
ground, apparently dead.
Henick then shot himself.

DIscREDIT STORY OF ATTACK.
Fellow Soldiers of M'kinIey Guard
Are Now Skeptical.
Canton, o., Oct. 1.-The officers and
men of company c, of the Fourteenth
United States infantry, on duty at
West Lawn cemetery, guarding the
resting place of President Mckinley,
worked diligently yesterday investigat-
ing the strange story of Private
Deprend, which happened Sunday
night. The most common belief is
that the sentinel was overwrought by
the loneliness of his position, that his
nerves were overtaXed and that mag
ination contributed some of the details
related in good faith. The post was
regarded by all as particularly isolated
at night, and it is understood that
more sentinels will be stationed at
the point in the future. Captain Bid
die thanked the reporters for what he
called the fair manner in which the in
cident had been described in the news
paper reports, saying they gave full
and complete statement of facts so far
as revealed Sunday night. He was
fully convinced that night of the truth
of the story as related, but after in
vestigation, entertained doubts, not of
the sincerity of Private Deprend, but
of the correctness of the conclusion.
| Captain Biddle authorized this state
ment: II think the sentinel deceived
himself on the occurrence. 1 do not
think an actual attack as related by
him occurred. When daylight came
there was no evidence found of
| struggle
GERS adhered to the belief that an at
tempt had been made on the sentinel
for ghoulish purposes. He said
''It was the real thing. 1t was
prompted by the pure cussedness of
some people who thought to bring re-
| proach upon the nation by doing dam
age to the resting place of the dead
president"
The matter has been reported in full
to General Otis at Chicago, command
ing the department, to which the guard
is attached. Whether there will be a
formal inquiry into the matter re-
mains for General Otis to determine.
Officers at the cemetery expressed the
hope that inasmuch as no harm had
been done, no formal action would be
taken.

John Burns, who vas recently re-

London district. Is D of the best
known labor leaders in the world. AS
a municipal statesman and parliament
tartan he has also gained fame. He Is
to the working people today what
John Bright was to the commercial
classes some forty or fifty years ago.
John Burns has had a stormy career.
Many times has he been arrested and
put into prison for taking part in
strike riots, but the powerful speeches
which he made at the trials secured
his acquittal with his colleagues. AS
a member of the London county coun-
Gil he has accomplished wonders. The
local authority WORKS its men only
eight hours a day. and insists that all
contractors 1t employs for building,
ETC., shall do the same. Besides re-
ducing the hours of labor In London
from sixty-eight per week to fifty-four,
the wages have been increased. All
men receive ten days holiday in the
summe and six general holidays.
They receive medical attendance and
