Circulation Statements.


The country is passing through a pc
Tiud Of IainfUl suspense. which may
not be ended for two or three DAYS.
But there is cause for thankfuIness in
the news from the Presidents bedside
that the condition of the distinguished
sufferer is more hopeful than il could
justly have been considered at any an
tecedent time since his wounds were
received
This mornings reports are positively
cheering. None Of the symptoms nee
esSaTIly 10 be- dreaded in a case like his
have developed. His temperature which
on Saturday and early Sunday morning
was high enough To cause uneasiness,
has gone down again. and, it may be
hoped, will become almost normal be
fore long. Every hour that the present
favorable conditions continue decreases
the chance that septic poison will make
itself manifest. All danger Of that kind
will not pass for a day or two. but
the progress OF the sufferer toward re-
coyery has So encouraged his physi-
clans and friends that the gloom which
enshr5uded the people in attendance,
and members of the Cabinet, has given
place 10 cheerfulness and an hourly
growing confidence that the life Of
President Mckinley is 70 be spared.
The thanks of ;Ee American people
ere The due Of the surgeons on the
ground at the time Of the attempted
assassination for the promptness and
SKIN with which they performed the
first operation. According 10 the testi-
mony of leading professional men in
the United States and Europe, it was
the CELEBRITY, good judgment. and thor
OuEhness with which the operation was
performed that gave the patient more
than a fighting chance for life, in a
case which would have been utterly
hopeless if there had been an hour or
perhaps even a half hour of delay.
Should conditions remain as satisfac-
tory as they appear to be as we 60 70
press. it is probable that. today OF to-
morrow. an attempt viii be made to
locate and extract the bullet which i'll
fliCted the stomach wound For the
present the matter does not seem to
be occasioning much concern. The as
sumption is that the ball is lodged
somewhere in the muscular tissues of
the back. II that theory be correct,
there is not any reason for appreEen-
sion on that score II was stated this
morning that the two wounds in the
stomach had been closed, and, we sup
pose. are healing.
II is pleasant TO note that the whole
world is alive with sympathy for the
President. his wife friends. and coun-
try. in this hour Of anxiety and af-
fiction.

THE YANGTzE FLOODS.
Many Towns and Farms Completely
Submerged by Water.

John GoOdnow, the United States Con
sui General at Shanghai. in a special re-
port to the State Department. says that
the most disastrous floods are prevailing
in the valley Of the Yangtze River. He
understands that they are the worst
known by Europeans in that valley. All
the towns in the nsighborhood Of Wuhu
and kiukiang are TO a large extent under
water. The farms. especially in the rice
growing region about Wuhu. are SO com
pleteiy flooded that there is no hope for
the crop this year
In addition 20 this. thousands Of people
have been drowned and unknown mum
bers rendered homeless by the overflow
The StOppage Of trade is very serious Not
only is the local trade paraIyzed where
the food exists. but the river is So far
beyond its banks that navigation is diff
cult and dangerous. 1t Is reported that
five large river steamers plying between
Shanghai and Hankau are out in the
fields IN different places. The destruction

The Coal Trust has again advanced the
price ten cents ton. making total OF
fifty cents during the last few months. This
result has been brought about hoy the con
certed action Of companies which are not
actually united under one mauagem, nj.
but which. nevertheless, constitute a trust
in the fun sense Of the term Ia the alb
sence Of a general agreement the ad-
vances would have been impossible. And
still there are those who assert, and others
who profess to believe. that the trusts have
lowered prices. Perhaps they have in cases
where they have had TO, but they certainly
are not formed for any such purpose.

but It's innate Wickedness. Tie An
archist declares himself opposed TO ali

republican government as well as
% the most absolute despotism. Why
is this All sorts Of suecious reasons
are given. but in the last analysis the
Anarchist basic idea is that every
person should be free 20 do as he or
she pleases-hence there should be no
government To apply a check. This
simply means that there should be no
way Of preventing or furnishing crime
which in turn means that no one would
be safe either in his person or property.

instincts Of the race, while at the same
time destroying the only enectuaI
means By which crime can be either
prevented or punished.

ually but he would compel everybody

The Suppression of ASsussiuS,

prominent men in this and other couH-

The condition Of the wool trade is said TO
De puzzling the producers. In the United
States the wool market has been given all
the advantages that protection can afford
and still the industry IS not hourishiug
During the last ten years the population
has Increased about twenty-five per cent,
and although imports have not increase
the home production has fallen of some
eight per cent SUN the price has gone
down. The conclusion is that the use Of
wool is not increasing with the growth Of
population.

AGUINALDo's peace proclamations

coming in and taking the oath of

are still few who regret the close

civilization sweep on while the

to his proper place in the rear of
the procession, and passes into OBJ
