A MORE CHEERFUL OUTLOOK.

A better feeling exists among farmers
and business men as a result of i'm
proved weather and crop conditions
since August opened. As result of a
more hopeful feeling the Chicago Dry
Goods Reporter states that "merchants
visiting the Chicago market from Mis-
houri, Kansas, Oklahoma and Nebraska
are in cheerful mood and declare their
intention of buying larger stocks and
better goods than ever before. This does
not sound like the talk of men from
stricken or ruined localities. YETI they
come from the regions which undoubt-
edly have suffered most from the
drought. Their information is the latest
obtainable, and it is also the most relia-
BILE. for they had every reason to inform
themselves thoroughly on the crop con-
ditions before ordering their autumn or
winter stocks. These men are practical
ly unanimous in discounting the current
tales of crop losses and in preparing for
a good winters trade. Few total fall
ures of corn or other crops are reported.
Even in the regions that suffered most
the loss in most cases amounts to only
half the CROP The Reporter further
asserts that "all fear about lack of feed
for live stock has absolutely disap-
peared. That fact in itself is enough to
justify the cheerful and sensible view of
the situation taken by the merchants in
the regions affected
While losses have been severe and
careful methods will be invoked to aver,
disaster, it will be remembered tina
farmers are in better condition general,
with more means to meet a crisis thar
ever before. Hence the cheerful feeling
that has taken the place of early de-
spondency

AN ARMY COLLEGE.
An Advance School for Officers TO Be
Established.

Established.
Washington, Aug. 17.-An army war
college will be established in Washing
ton. Secretary Root was authorized by
the last session of congress to detail
board of army officers to look into the
question Of the organization and estab-
lishment of an advanced school for army
officers, the scope of which would corre-
spond to that of the Naval War College
at Newport. The board has held NUM-
Der of sessions during the last year with
Gen. William Ludlow as president, and
the conclusions. based on advice given
by army officers and the examination of
similar institutions in Europe, have been
submitted to Secretary Root, who Will
probably recommend in his next annIal
report that congress provide for a coll
lege to be located in this city, where 1t
lis intended to be placed under the mill
tary information division of the war de-
partment.
1t is believed that college of this
kind established in Washington will be
most conveniently situated. The vast
amount of information, accumulated by
the military information division, Will be
accessible to student officers who Will
also be able to consult the contents of
the library of congress and other insti-
buttons where military literature is
available.
The details such a college, have not
been perfected Secretary Root has
| taken keen interest in the proposed
| institution and has given good deal of
| time and thought to the organization.
| The secretary of war has also decided to
establish an army school at Fort Leay-
enworth This is the result of his re-
cent western trip with General Gillespie,
chief of engineers and Colonel w. III
Carter, assistant adjutant general. The
| latter officer is also a member OF the
board on the army war college.
Mr.. Root, after his visit to Leaven-
worth, recognized that the place was the
best adapted which he had seen for the
proposed advanced school, which should
be open to officers of the National
Guard. 1t is intended that Invitations
| shall be given to the different states
| which will be allowed to send picked
officers of the militia to Leavenworth
| for observation and instruction.
The infantry and cavalry school is
now located at Leavenworth, and the
scope of that institution will be greatly
enlarged, principally by the assign
ment to the post of battalion of field
artillery, an engineer battalion. and
signal corps command. These officers
| in addition to the infantry and cavalry
will make the place field school for
| officers. Next years estimate to con-
gress from the war department. will in
clude items for construction of bar
racks. quarters, storehouses.. stables
and sheds necessary for the accommo-
dalton of officers attached to the insti-
tuition and for the protection of equip
ment at the place.

lines, buyers from all sections OF the
country operating with hberality OF
the leading industries cotton manufac-
turing is the only one that is not in a
satisfactory condition.
Pittsburg reports that production in
sheets and hoop iron and steel is much
below the demand, which has resulted
in increased prices. Local jobbers have
advanced the price of tin plates to s6.25
per box of 100 pounds, and further adj
vances are anticipated. Prior to the
strike tin plate was selling at s4 per
box, and advances already made amount
to S2.25 per box. Black sheets are ad-
vancing in price daily, and sales are be-
ing made by local jobbers at $50 per ton,
which is an advance of S23 per ton over
the established prices of six weeks ago.
AT Baltimore the jobbing business is
improving, with many visiting buyers
on the market and good outlook for
fall trade.
Minneapolis reports that trade condi-
lions continue satisfactory.
AT st. Paul general trade is good and
prospects for the fall We're never better.
Louisville reports that drouth has af-
fected sales in most lines, causing coun-
termands of clothing and shoes, and also
scaling down orders.
AT Atlanta the jobbing trade is fair
for the season. Country merchants who
have been putting off fall buying as
crops advanced are now laying in
stocks.
New Orleans reports business up to
expectations, and in excess of that
transacted last year.
At Cincinnati jobbing lines are fairly
active. but some cancellations are re-
ported, and country collections are
somewhat tardy, especially among
southern dealers, where the drouth has
been especially severe.
At Kansas City rains and seasonable
weather continue and retail trade is inn
proving. Manufacturers and jobbers re-
port Improvement over last week. The

ais of country merchants so far have
not been up to the average, buyers here
have bought literally, and mail advices
indicate ths4 a greater number of pur-
chasers than last year will soon be here,
merchants only awaiting the return of
normal weather and conditions before

BUSINESS FEATURES.

alton Of the country is encouraging, as
reported by Dun.
In Chicago there is no cessation in the
unprecedented volume of retail trade
which set in fully two months ago, and
80 far this month eclipses the record
breaking figures of last month. The
volume is we'll distributed, and the small
dealers are prospecting relatively as well

POLICE For PHILIPPINES.

The organization of a constabulary in
the Philippine islands is another step
in the evolution of the civil authority
which is soon to take the place of the
military regime all over the archipelago.
and which has already taken it's place
in a large number of the islands. In re-
ferring to it the ST. Louis Globe Demo-
crat says:
1t is the intention to secure body of
picked men, numbering 10000 or there
abouts. They are, to large extent, to
comprise discharged American soldiers
in the islands who have neither re-en-
listed nor have returned to the United
States. 1t is understood that there are
several thousands of these in and
around Manila and the other large
towns of the islands.
Unquestionably there are advantages
i'll this policy. The constabulary, which
will be armed, of course, and also
mounted, will replace the military in a
large degree, and give chance for a
material reduction of the number of SOL
diers in the islands. Recently it was
said, with some show of authority, that
there was project on foot to reduce the
army in the Philippines by 10000 or Ia
900. This report must have been melted
by the constabulary scheme. which
probably has been for several months in
mind. A reduction of the army in the
Philippines will give an opportunity for
the distribution of a larger number of
troops turnout the United States, the
Qualifications of which are still very in
adequately manned.
Canada has large mounted constabu-
larry in its wilder regions which have
done and still do good service, especially
In the Indian country and among tbs
lawless characters in the neighborhood
of the Indians and in the gold regions
The duties of the constabulary in the
Philippines will be to round up robbers
and guerrillas, who have infested many
of the islands ever since the Spanish &C.
cupation began, more than three cen;
turtles ago. AS the nucleus of this force
will consist of men who have already
seen several years of service in the army
in the islands, it will quickly learn Its
new duties. This new departure in the
Philippines is decided step forward II

attention at the worlds fair, in Chicago,

advantage by hundreds of incandescent
