STATE OF TRADE.
Dun's Weekly Report Is Encouraging
Dealers Everywhere Preparing foI
Heavy Fall Trade,

New York, Aug. Or. G.. Dun d
Co.'s Weekly Review to-day will say:
Bright prospects in agricultural Sec
tions far outweigh the adverse infu.
ence of labor disputes which are still
retarding trade and manufacture.
Confidence in the future is mistaken,
dealers everywhere preparing for Il
heavy fall trade, while contracts for
distant deliveries run further into
next year than is usual at this date.
Activity has been noteworthy in lum-
ber regions, and fish packing made
new records.
Aside from the fuel scarcity and
some congestion of traffic the iron
and steel situation continues propi-
tious. Coke ovens in the ConnelIsville
region maintain weekly output of
about 100000 tons and find ready buy
ers at full prices.
Machinery and hardware trade is
fully sustained, but there is idleness
at tin plate mills and glass factories.
Minor metals are steady. Footwear
factories are well engaged on full or
ders and spring samples, and the
tone of the market is firmer, al
though actual advances have been
few. Hides continue their upward
movement, many grades gaining
another good fraction.
Dry goods buyers are coming into
this market to "A considerable extent,
yet without placing orders of any
size. Cotton goods importers are
practically out of the market. prices
on china being below the point where
profit is possible.
Splendid growing and harvesting
conditions have prevailed in most see
tionS of the country, especially where
the larger and more important crops
are raised. 1t is now almost certain
that the agricultural returns will be
far above the average as to quantity.

THE PHILIPPINE FRlARS.
Federated Catholic Societies Extend
Them Their Fullest sympathy and
Express Confidence That the Ameri-
cnn Government VIII See That Jus.
tice Is Done Them.

Chicago, Aug. S.-The temper of the
convention of Federated Catholic
Societies relative to the Phil,
ippine question was put to the
test at the closing session yester-
day John II. Heating, a national of
ficer of the Hibernians, offered a sub
stitute resolution for those previ'
ously brought before the meeting,
Mr.. keating proposed that the dele
gates dismiss the friar and the poor
school questions with an expression
of satisfaction with the manner in
which the subject is being handled
by the Vatican and administration.
When motion on substitute was put,
there was but one affirmative vote,
and that one was Mr.. keating s. The
convention then adopted the follow
ing resolution on the subject:
I'VE hereby express confidence that
the Hon. The eodore Roosevelt, presi-
dent of the United States, will per
form his duty under the constitution
and laws and our firm belief that he
will institute a rigid judicial inquiry
into any abuses by subordinate gov
ernment officials in our territorial
possessions and promptly rectify such
abuses. We are especially confident
that in his dealings with the serious
problems arising in the Philippine
Islands, property and personal rights
guaranteed by treaty, laws and con-
stitution will be faithfully safe
guarded and protected.
'ResOlved, That we extend to the
friars in the Philippines our fullest
sympathy in this, their hour of trial;
that we appreciate the value of their
services in the cause of religion and
humanity: that we pledge them our
support as American citizens in up
holding the hands of our government
in its determination to see that they
are treated with that common JUS
tice that belongs to all who enjoy the
protection of the American flag.
Resolved, That this federation
congratulate the Vatican and the
American government on the position
attained in the negotiations, regard
ing the questions which have arisen
in the Philippines and we express our
full confidence that these negotia-
tions will be continued until a just
and amicable solution shall be OBJ
tanned"
Other resolutions regretted the
present circumstances surrounding
the Indian schools and pledged active
and moral support in remedying the
conditions. The establishment of
Catholic high schools. wherever prac-
ticable, was advocated: sympathy
was expressed for the Catholics in
France in their present troubles and
suitable recognition was taken of the
deaths of Archibshops Feehan and
Corrigan.

THE STATE CAPITOL.

The question of changing the cap
itol of Nevada from its present home
in Carson to some more desirable and
accessible city in the State is being
agitated by the press of Nevada.
Especially are the papers of Reno
setting forth the advantages of the
Riverside town as against every
other section of the State, and more
particularly in opposition to Carson.
Have the residents of Nevada failed
to see in the rapidly growing city of
Tonopah the future metropolis of the
State? With the advent of railroads,
the building of great mills and smelt-
ers, an extensive mineral belt devel-
oped and yielding the greatest output
in mining history, our valuable tur-
quoise mines putting their product
into the markets, wherein it will be
possible for every man in the camp
to wear a gem as large as horse
shoe, and the many other conditions
pertaining to substantial growth and
development is this camp to be over
looked? And will rot Tonopah be
considered not only a possible but
highly probable aspirant for the flu
ture seat of government ? Assuredly
so
We give notice in advance that we
want every good thing that comes
within the gift of generous people.
We are not out with our hammers
any section of Nevada we
are upon the contrary blowing a
blast for the entire State and Incl
lentally doing a little growing for
Tonopah.
Our growth and development
would make the people of some other
sections of the State very egotistical,
while with us our good fortune makes
is feel that less favored sections than
our own will be benefited Indirectly
oy our wonderful prosperity.
Our last but not least demand for
recognition of our claims to the State
capitol is in the fact that Tonopah is
dry town. Legislators and State
officials would not be troubled with
he water drinking habit while here,
md what a P2-adise it would be.
Conopah would 0ecome the Mecca for
he old boards OF State officials as
veil as the new ones.

THE TONOPAH MINES.

The ore shipments from the Tono
pah mines is greater to-day thar
during any period of the camps his.
tory. Every team coming in with
freight has load of ore going back.
The shelters of the Coast are hand
ling more of Tonopah ores than here
'tofore, hence the larger shipments.
Consider for moment the expense
of hauling, railroad transportation
and smelling charges incidental to
the treatment of our ores, and what
other State in the west can boast of
ore rich enough to stand such a tax
and still yield princely profit to the
shipper. Fifty dollar rock is exceed
ingly high grade in any country but
Nevada, and it would be equally high
grade here If we had the same trans
portation facilities as Colorado or
Utah. Here we do not attempt to
ship ore of less value than 800 per
ton, and comparatively little of that,
for the full expense of hauling, hand
ling and treating a ton of our ore is
very close to $50.
The railroads in other States do
not levy a shipping tax upon ores
that tends to close every mine in the
country which they traverse. Upon
the contrary their tax is in keeping
with a progressive business enter
prise; for instance, the 81 90 per ton
rate on ores from Cripple Creek to
the smelters in Pueblo and Colorado
Springs.
If Tonopah had branch road ex-
tending from the proposed Salt Lake
Il Los Angeles railway, starting
from point in the Meadow valley
wash and following water grade
across the Armagosa, up the Ash
meadows into Ralston valley and
directly into this camp, we could be
assured of placing our ores with the
smelters of Utah and Colorado at
shipping expense of five or six dollars
per ton.
Can the most sanguine Nevada
"boomer" foretell what such change
would mean for our State. We can
enumerate some of the improvements
that would follow, to wit; The settle |
ment of our valleys, the attraction of
capital to our various industries and
agricultural, stock and mining inter
ests-especially the latter. South
ern Nevada can produce more fifty
and sixty dollar ore than the ordinary
railroad could transport to market.
We look for relief through the com
ing of railroad from the south. The
Southern Pacific cannot and will not |
aid Nevada. Her policy has long
been outlined, and the people of the
State have groaned under the burden
of unjust taxation from the first day
that the Central Pacific became a
rans-continental freight carrier.

A COnstOck Yarn.

Doc Bailey, the veteran carman at
the c. q c. shaft, reports a shower
of angle worms during the rainfall
last night, the platform at the en-
trance to the c. Il C. hosting works
being covered with them. The most
convincing evidence that the worms
came from space is the fact that he
scraped a handful of them from the
crown and rim of his hat. Mr..
Baileys testimony is corroborated by
numerous early risers who observed
myriads of the worms on Mill and
Carson streets and on street side
walks. Scientists explain this APP
parent elemental phenomenon by
stating that the worms are caught
up in whirlwinds and carried to
great height, descending to the earth
again through natural gravitation. =

The large and spacious Opera
House was beautifully furnished
with easy chairs, tables and other
furniture, including a piano. The
company vas entertained with
music, singing aua games of various
kinds, also recitation by Mr.. j. c..
Habermacher. Refreshments, con-
sisting of cake, chocolate, fruits
and other good things, were served.
The Opera House presented a
brilliant appearance and the ladies
deserve much credit for furnishing
such an enjoyable evening. The
Gazette hopes the Club will keep
up their good work and furnish
many more evenings Of social en-,
Ijoyment. For lack Of space we are

who attended.
