dent of the United States, at Washing
ton:
81 am still under the deep impression
created by the splendid and cordial recep-
tion of my brother, rim Henry, by the
citizens Of the United States Of America.
In the speeches with which he was greeted
the fact was often mentioned that my an
cestor, Frederick the Great, maintained a
friendly attitude towards the u Amer
lean republic during the course of her
formation, thereby laying the corner stone
of the friendly relations which have always
existed between our two countries. The
example set to me by the great ding l in
tend to follow.
81 wish to commemorate the visit OF Prince
Henry by a gift to the people OF America,
which l request you to accept In their name.
I intend to present a statue In bronze OF
Frederick the Great to the United States,

TRADE REVIEW.
in the business World as
Ii Appears to Leading Conn
merciaI Agencies.

New York, May T.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review Of Trade says: weather
and wages continue the only seriously dis
turbing factors in the business situation.
Excessive moisture and low temperature
made the crop outlook more uncertain, and
much depends on a continuance of prosper
ity in the agricultural sections. On the
other hand, record-breaking distribution
OF pay in the Pittsburg region accelerated
retail trade, while resumption of wooden
and other mills added largely TO the active
force. Transporting lines continue TO make
splendid exhibits, railway earnings fer the
first week of May exceeding those of a
year ago by 60 per cent. and surprising the
same weeks earnings in 1850 by l9.9per cent.
Failures for the week numbered 2S in the
United States, against Ia last year, and II
In canada, against Is a year ago."
Bradstreet's says: Conditions govern
Ing trade lack uniformity m explain ir-
regularity in adylces from different Sec
tons. The preeminent feature Is, of course,
the favorable character of nearly all crop
advices (winter wheat exeeptec), but even
here the improvement since May ! has reu-
trallZed much that was unfayorable before.
The shadow ~overhanging eastern trade, in
the shape Of a general anthracite coal
strike, has Geepened with the formal sus-
pension Of work and the strike announce
ment. Cool weather hitherto has retarded
retail demand, and in the agricultural Sec
tons the population has been busily en-
gagged. Hence present demand has suffered
in comparison with the outlook for the fu-
ture, but recorder business from jobbers has
been very fair despite. Produce prices and
dairy products are weakening as supplies
increase, but meats are still high, and per-
manently lower prices are not looked for
until autumn. The Industrial outlook,
aside from the anthracite trouble and the
possibilities Of this disturbance IL extend
ed involving some branches Of the iron and
steel trades, Is on the whole no more I'M
settled than might be expected In a time OF
more than ordinary prosperity. Wage adj
vances, some Of them voluntary, have been
numerous. and some old troubles are APP
preaching settlement. Fuller railroad earn
ings return for April confirm last weeks
report of a gain Of II per cent. over April
a year ago, while for the first week Of May
the indicated gain Is III excess Of eight per
cent. Notable strength is still shown in
prices Of many staples, particularly thoN
In which speculation is not very prominent.
Cash wheat, hour and corn are all higher on
the week. hog products have advanced,
hides are at about the highest point in

Spotted lynx" is the correct name. It
was captured on Bushy mountain,
Cherokee nation, Indian territory, by
an Indian and a United States land APP
praiser. The land appraiser is Miss
Van Nests father. The nest of the
mother cat was located by the Indian.
The captors watched their oppor-
tunity, and when the mother cat was
away after food they removed the kit
tens from their home at the age of
about four days. One of these kittens
died, another was accidentally killed,
and Cherry, as she is called, alone sur
vived.
Cherry has the freedom of the Van
Nest home, and one of the peculiar
traits of the animal is its love for chill
dren, which it expresses by jumping
over their heads whenever they are
around. 1t appreciates attention and
likes to be petted. In summer Cherry
sleeps in trees, and in winter never lies
on the floor, but selects the top of
some high piece of furniture for a rest
ing place.
Cherry used to amuse herself last
autumn by concealing all of her body
excepting the head in a convenient
pile of leaves and catching sparrows
that might light in her path. She used
also to have it in for the dogs of the
neighborhood, but now has made
friends with most of them. The ami
NAL is fed on cooked beef, chicken or
birds. She will not eat fat and prefers
water to milk.

IMPROVE THE PARK.
Mr.. Christie Succeeds in Start
ing Something.

After, 10 these many years, OF pa
tient waiting a motion was finally
pushed through the city council FRI
day night by Alderman Christie for
tn improvement of the public park.
The appropriation secured was only
$3.50, but this will insure good sod
aud will no doubt work as q leven
that will bring about greater things
in the future. This amount also
clinches the six or eight big flower
beds which the Kemble Floral Com
pany agreed to put in and maintain
at its own expense, providing the
sodding was done. Mr.. Christie pro-
posed to give this matter his personal
attention, and he hopes to make such
an Improvement al will be a credit
to Greater Oskaloosa, and serve as a
stepping stone to new walks, settees
and other ornaments in the future.
Contract for Clean Streets.
The council also paved the way for
a cleaner city by making a contract
with Mr.. Baugh, to sweep the streets
in the business portion twice a week
and in the residence parts twice a
month. The contract price for each
sweeping is 80 cents per block in the
business part and 20 cents in the resi-
dence part. This price includes
s%prinkling, sweeping and the DISPOSE
ton of the dirt.
Business.
Mr.. Baker favored the abolition
Of the Office of side walk commission
er and attaching that officials duties
to the civil engineer. This was op-
posed by DR., Cole and after consider
able discussion the matter was
dropped.
DR.. Cole recommended that Mrs.
Taes be allowed 500 for small pox ex-
penses. Matter was referred to
Board of Health.
On motion the rules were suspend
cd and ordinance No. 237 vas passed
upon its three readings. The ordin.
ance vacates an alley just east of Mr.
Cartons property on First avenue
east. 1t had been petitioned for
some time ago but no action taken.
The street is now being paved, and
if the city retained the alley it would
have to pay for the paving. The
council considered it best to vacats
the alley and let the property holder
bear the expense. The alley has
never been open to traffic.

Il TORTURE ISSUE.
Lawrence That Cases VIII BE
RiSidly Investigated.

Boston, May 19.-Bishop William
Lawrence has received from Presi-
dent Roosevelt a letter in reply to
one written May l, protesting
against the cruel treatment of Fill
pino insurgents by the government
soldiers" The bishop in his letter
declared that the United States must
insist that it's military and civil off,
Gals in the Philippines should con-
duet themselves so that charges of
cruelty could not be justly made.
President Roosevelt's reply is dated
May 9, and is as follows:
MY Dear Bishop Lawrence: i have re-
.ceiyed your letter and the resolutions of the
convention Of the Protestant Episcopal
church Of diocese of Massachusetts,. Per-
NIT me to thank you and through you the
convention for hat has been done by you.
i hope 1t is unnecessary to say hat no
one in the country can be more anxious
thar ! am-saye perhaps Secretary Root
to discover and punish every Instance OF
barbarity by our troops in the Philip
pines.
"In reference to these cruelties I agree
with every word in your address. No provo
cation, however great, can be accepted as an
excuse for misuse of the necessary severity
Of war, and above all, not for torture OF
any kin or shape.
Long before any statements had been
made public, and before any action had
beentaken by congress. the war department
had ordered a rigid investigation of GER
tain Of the charges, including the charges
of Maj. Gardener, the orders of investiga-
ton as regards these particular charges
having gone out over three months ago.
"The Investigation will be of the most
thorough and sweeping character, and If
necessary will be made by the civil as well
as the military representatives of the gov
eminent in the islands.
II have directed that court-martials be
held under conditions which will give me
the right of review. Very sincerely yours.
