TRADE REVIEW.
II. e.. Dun 81 Co.'s Weekly Summary
of Business Conditions.

New York, March 1.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Although the shortest month of the
year was further curtailed by two
holidays and handicapped by the
most severe storms of the winter, in
dustrial and trade results were most
satisfactory. The closing week
brought a general resumption of ac-
tivity in lines that suffered from the
weather and preparation for an ex-
ceptionally heavy spring business was
reported at many points, southern
cities alone being backward.
Pressure for structural material is
already severe and will probably be
still more so as the regular building
season draws nearer. Further hard
ening of quotations is reported, and
inquiries for delivery in 1903 are not
exceptional. More foreign steel has
been engaged, and domestic concerns
are still bidding in the German mar
ket.
Makers of cotton goods are very
cautions about undertaking future
deliveries, owing to the uncertainty
as to labor and raw material. Wooden
goods are well maintained and in
brisk demand.
Failures for the week numbered
215 in the United States, against 179
last year, and 35 in Canada, against
31 last wear

MISS STONES STORY.
She was Sworn to Secrecy In Regard
TO the Location of the Camps of the
RrI0andS.

Salonika, Roumelia, Feb. 27.-.Miss
Stone says the brjgands swore both
of their captives TO absolute secrecy
regarding any information calculated
to establish the identity Of the
brigands, the location of the places
where they were concealed, or other
facts likely to compromise their cap
tors. AS a matter of fact, the erst-
while prisoners are very uncertain
regarding many details of their wan
derings.
They did not know when they were
released in what section of the coun-
try they were. An arrangement had
been made to release Miss Stone and
her companion near Seres. Macedonia,
where Dragoman Gargilou and Mr..
House were waiting for them, but
the brigands, owing to tiulidity or
otherwise, declared it was too diff
ticult to carry out the plan and
brought their captives, after a night
march. within one and a half hours
of Strumitza. The two women were
left under the shelter of tree, at
$3.50 in the morning of February %.
The bandits pointed out the direc-
tion of the village and ordered the
captives to report themselves to the
village elder, who, on learning their
identity would provide for them. The
brigands then turned back and disap-
peared among the hills.

A HOT LETTER.
Customs Official at Sitka Does No
Love Canadians.

Washington, Feb. 27.-SCme time
ago the secretary of the treasury re-
ceived unofficial information to the
effect that j. w. lvey, collector of
customs at Sitka, Alaska, had in
structed his deputy at Unalaska not
to permit Canadian vessels presum-
ably about to engage in pelagic seal
ing to obtain supplies at that port.
The collector was directed to send
statement of the facts to the depart
ment, and was informed that if such
orders had been given they must be
rescinded. Yesterday the depart
ment received telegram from lvey
saying:
MY instructions were not against
vessels engaged in alleged legal seal
fishing, but against Canadian vessels
actually engaged in pelagic sealing,
which is illegal and criminal when
committed within the marine jurisdic-
tion of the United States. If there
is an ancient treaty between the
United States and Great Britain by
which British subjects can commit
depredations, destroying American
property and depicting our revenue
of tens of thousands of dollars an
nually while our own citizens are de-
MED these privileges, the sooner such
treaty is abrogated the better. Your
solicitude regarding international
complications with Great Britain
need cause you no uneasiness, as the
poaching season is not yet opened.
Your new collector will arrive in time
to enforce your orders.
,xill mot a How
me to rescind an order which gives
British subjects privileges within our
marine jurisdiction which are denied
our own people. There is another
matter that may attract your atten-
ton. | have recently issued orders
to the deputy at Skagway, copy of
which has been sent you, which has
put the Canadian officers located
there out of business and sent them
to their own territory. You are
aware of the fac THAT one officer be-
came so offensive that he interfered
with American officers in the dis
charge of their official duties; opened
United States customs mails; domi-
mated over the railway officials; dis
criminated in the order of shipment
in favor of Canadian merchandise
against that shipped from Seattle;
established a Canadian quarantine at
Skagway; collected moneys and per-
formed other acts of British sover-
eighty in port of the United States,
such as hoisting with bravado the
cross of aU. George from the flag
staff of his custom house. | have sent
the concern, bag, baggage, flag and
other paraphernalia flying out of
the country. You may fear the
shadow of international complica-
tions and rescind this order, but a

BOERS DEFEATED.
Gen. Kitchener Reports Series of
British Successes.

London, March 1.-Following the
precedent of Lord Roberts, who an
nounced Cronje's surrender at
Paardeberg, on the anniversary of
the battle of Majuba Hill, Lord Kitch-
ener apparently selected the same
anniversary to achieve a big success,
by a combined movement lasting two
days against the Boer forces within
the Harrismith and Vanreenen line
of blockhouses. The Boer losses Ak
gregate 600 men killed or captured,
and 1000 horses, $4,000 head of cat
tie fell into the hands o. the British.
This news was so welcome to the
British that it was read out in the
house of common Friday by the war
secretary, Mr.. Brodrick, from dis
patch of Lord Kitchener, as follows:
''Harrismith, Feb. 2S.-Yesterday
the combined operations of the col
umns termnted in driving the Beers
against the Harrsmith and Nanree-
men blocbhouse line. The river Wilge
was held by the Leinster regiment
and Elliott's mounted infantry from
Harrismith, while the columns
formed on the Frankfort and Botha's
L tloo blothhouSt lllIC anu utN dIlttl
south, holding the entire country be-
tween the Wilge and the Natal from
tier. On the first night very Sc
we're attempt to break through was
made at point between Remington's
and Byng's columns and the New
Zealanders behaved with great gal
lantry. The fighting was at close
quarters and the Beers, as usual,
drove a large herd of cattle in front
of them.
mamie Botha, the Boer leader, was
killed, and 50 dead Beers were found
on the ground. Over 100 horses were
killed and 5000 head of cattle were
left in our hands. Other small at
tempts to break out were made and
in two cases were successful. On the
last day $50 Beers, with rifles and
horses, were captured. All the col
umns have not yet reported and the
operations have been very wide, put
over 600 Beers have been either killed
or are prisoners in our hands: also
1000 horses, $4,000 head of cattle, 200
wagons, 10000 sheep, GOO rifles, and
$4,000 rounds of ammunition. The
prisoners include Gen. De Vets son
and his secretary, Commandants Mey-
er and Truther, and several field cor
nets. These satisfactory results are
very appropriate on the anniversary
of Majuba."
In response to an inquiry as to the
fate of the escort of a convoy of
empty wagons, which, according to a
dispatch from Lord Kitchener, made
Duhlip EphruarV 26 was attacked and
captured by the Beers southwest of
Klerksdorp, Transvaal Colony, Febru-

following message:
"a report has just been received
that 16 officers and 451 men were
taken prisoners. Of these one officer
and lO5 men have been released.
Col. Anderson, of the Imperial yeo-
manry, who commanded. is still u
prisoner.

Augusta, Ga, Feb. 27.-Lieut. Gov.
James IL. Tillman, of South Caro-

the First United States volunteer
cavalry, of whose gallant services
you spoke so highly, your words be-
ing engraved on the scabbard. You
accepted the invitation, for which we
thank you. | am now requested by
contributors to the sword fund to ask
that you withdraw said acceptance"
In explaining the sending of the
telegram Lieut.. Gov. Tillman said:
"It is with much regret that ! am
directed, or rather required to send
the telegram | did, especially in view
of the fact that ] am so closely re-
lated to one who but few days ago
was subjected to an affront which
was seemingly, or at least the peo-
pie who contributed to the purchase
of the sword think, unwarranted."

A woman whom the Diamond King
Accused Of Forgery Now Seeks to
Recover $4,000 from Him.

Cape Town, March 1.-The case Of
Princess Radziwill, who was arrested
here February 26 on the charge of
forging the signature of Cecil Rhodes
to promissory notes and who was
subsequently admitted to bail in
G1,000, assumed new aspect Friday
by the princess entering suit against
Mr.. Rhodes for G2,0O0 on account of
the alleged note for $4,000, said to
have been indorsed by Mr.. Rhodes,
but which the latter repudiated. On
this note the princess was sued by
Thomas Leuw, merchant of this
city, who had advanced G150 on it
and who obtained and collected judg-
ment for the amount of his advance.
AS Mr.. Rhodes was indisposed, his
evidence in the forgery case against
the princess and in her counter
charge against himself has been
taken at Grootscharen. Mr. Rhodes,
in this evidence, denied signing, or
authorizing his signature to the note
in question.
