TRADE REPORT.

r. G.. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review
of Trade of last week says:
Along the Atlantic coast business
was temporarily checked by the storm
and some interior points also suffered
from unfavorable weather, but con-
sumptive demand gives no evidence of
abatement. Prices Of perishable goods
advanced sharply and the whole range
of staple commodities tended upward.
Jobbing trade in spring lines Of wear
ing apparel is of ample proportions,
and all heavy hardware and products
of iron feel the pressure in that in
dustry. Prospects are most encourag-
ing as to the labor situation. Railway
earnings thus far reported for Febru-
airy show a decrease of but 3.5 per cent
from last years figures, which is fully
explained by weather conditions, while
compared with 1900 there is an in
crease of 9.S per cent. Bank exchanges
for the week at the leading cities out
side New York show a gain of 1916
per cent over last year, while the loss
at New York is but 5.S per cent from
the total in 1901, which is more than
accounted for by a decreased activity
in the stock market.
Stock market operations were of
only fair size and price changes small
until Thursday, when a severe break
occurred on the announcement that
the attorney general would proceed
against the Northern Securities COM
pany Much time must now intervene
before the legal status of the concern
is decided.
Liabilities of commercial failures
thus far reported for February aggre-
gate $6,697,8S
Failures for the week number $50 in
the United States against 253 last year
and 81 in Canada against 80 last year.

SCHLEY WAS TURNED DOW

Washington, Feb. 21.-The president
today made the following statement
public:
White House, Feb 20, 1902.
have received the appeal of Admiral
Schley and the answer thereto from
the navy department. | have exam
ined both with the utmost care, as
well as the preceding appeal to the
secretary of the navy. | have read
through all the testimony taken before
the court and the statements of the
counsel for Admiral Sampson and Ad-
miral Schley; have examined all the
official reports of every kind in refer
ence to the Santiago naval campaign,
copies of log books, and the testimony
before the court of claims, and have
also personally had before me the five
surviving captains from the five ships,
aside from those of the two admirals,
which were actively engaged at San
tiago.
1t appears that the court of inquiry
was unanimous in its findings of fact
and unanimous in it's findings of fact
and unanimous in it's expressions of
opinion on most of its finding of fact.
No appeal is made to me from the YER
dict of the court on these points,
where it was unanimous.
have, however, gone carefully over
the evidence on these points also.
am satisfied that on the whole it did
substantial justice.

MISCELLANEOUS MINING NEWS.

The cornerstone of the lead refinery
in connection with the Canadian
Smelling works plant at Trail has been
laid, and active construction work is
under way.
The Canadian Smelling works at
Trail is erecting a refinery, as is also
the Sullivan Mining company in East

their intention of adding white lead

the Boundary mines for the week es-
tablishes a new record from this sec
ton. The total for the week is 9423
tons.
There are disparaging accounts
coming from the reported new placer
diggings of the Horsefy, Cariboo, as
well as the eulogistic ones which were
sent out last fall, says the Nelson
Miner. P. Morrison, a Cape Breton
man, who has been in the Klondike

to Vancouver last week gave an inter.
view to the Colonist representative,

LOCKED HORNS
And Both Died in Deadly Combat
In the Woods.

There is on exhibition in the
KENTUCKIAN Office two pairs of ant
lers, locked and fastened together
in what proved TO be mortal com.
bat between the bucks that wore
them. The horns were found in a
lonely forest in Desha county. Ar
kansas, about twelve miles from
Arkansas City, IN 1898, by Mr.. Clip
Watkins, a member of the Gracey
Hunting club, who lives at Gracey,
Ky. The entire skeletons of the
animals were found, locked togeth-
er by the lords. The deer had en-
gagged in combat and become so Sc
curely fastened that both had evil
IDENTIFY died of starvation, or been
devoured by their natural enemies
of the animal kingdom. Mr.. Wat
kins separated the antlers from the
skeletons and carried the horns
srveral miles to camp and brought
them home with him. They are in
a good state of preservation and
are still Just as they were found.
In fact it seems impossible to get
them apart without cutting off
some of the points. The larger one
had nine points and the smaller one
eleven. The difference between
them was slight and they must
have been pretty evenly matched.
They tell story of a terrible
tragedy in the depths of the forest.
One may have killed the other and
dragged the carcass about until
starvation completed the destruc-
tion of life: They may have eX-
hausted themselves without inflict-
ing mortal injury on each other and
spent days and perhaps weeks in
the vain endeavor to separate them
selves, until their sufferings ended
in death.
Mr.. Watkins has refused 500 for
the horns, which he values very
highly.
