TRADE REVIEW.
Fear Of Failure Gaect Of seae Strikes
the Osly Unfavorable Factor In
the Duslness sltuatlOa.

New York, March 21.-R. G. Dun a
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
"Only one distinctly unfavorable fac
tor is reported in the business situa-
tion, and IL exists more in the fear of
what may happen than through any
thing that has actually occurred. Sew
eral strikes are in progress but none
that seriously hamper industry, al
though many controversies are threat
ened that may interrupt trade unless
agreements are speedily reached.
Progress has been made in relieving
traffic blockaGes and deliveries are
more prompt, yet railway facilities
need much extension il they are to
keep pace with the nations growth.
Jobbing trade is very large, and the ad-
vancing season stimulates retail sales
in many lines. Reports from the west
are especially satisfactory. Agricul-
turists are making extensive improve
ments, notably in the purchase of the
most modern machinery, buying of
spring and summer merchandise is
heavy for the interior, and mills are
resuming that have long been idle
because coke could not be secured. A
careful canvass of building operations
at the leading cities makes fair COM
parison with last year, outside of Chi
cago, where special conditions caused
exceptional activity in 1902. Returns
are unanimous in disclosing decrease
compared with 1901, however, which
was the banner year in this respect.
High cost of material and wages of
labor are undoubtedly retarding in
fuences at the present time. Railway
earnings thus far available for March
show an increase of LAG per cent. over
last year and 26.1 per cent. over 1901.
Prospects in the iron and steel indus
try are still conspicuously encourag-
ing.
Failures this week numbered 200
in the United States, against 200 last
year, and 90 in Canada, against 81 q
year ago"

Do not suppose that Samson, because
of his sightless eyes and shackled
limbs, sought death in dependency.
No, rather with his returning strength
and the conscious thrill of the pres
ence of God with him, he was willing
to die that the God, Whom he had so
dishonored, and Whose name he had
so brought in reproach before the
goddess people about him, might be
indicated. So it is with the Chris
tian who regains his strength after
having been shorn by the enemy. He
may win victories, II he will, which
will far eclipse any which he had won
before. never used to like to read
about Samson after he fell into the
hands of Delilah, IL seemed SO sad, so
| terrible, and his death seemed so igno-
minious and shameful for SO mighty
a champion. But this part Of the
story of Samson glows with new
beauty for me now as I realize how
faithfully Il illustrates the majesty
the power, the triumph Of God through
| the forgiven and restored Christian.
4 Shorn Samsons on every hand! What
a dark picture! But oh, how that pic
ture can be made to glow with the Di-
vihe presence and power, II those
shorn Samsons will only patiently
walk in the affection and darkness un-
til through repentant tears may be
seen shining the face of the Lord, and
they may hear His reassuring words:

Majority of Jews i'm England will

London, Aug. 24.-English Jews are
deeply interested in the announcement
made by Dr. Theodore Herzl, president
of the Sixth Zionist Congress, at it's
opening yesterday at Basic, Switzer-
land. that Great Britain, in view of
the collapse of the project to establish
Jews on the Sinai peninsula, had offer
ed the Zionists a large tract of ter
ritory in East Africa for colonization
by the Jews, who would be given an
autonomous government under British
suzerainty.
While some opposition is expected,
they believe that the congress Will
agree to the proposition.
Lord Rothschild said to a represen-
native of the Associated Press: Fear
ing Jewish emigration from the Brit
ish isles. the government has offered a
tract of land in East Africa to Jews
emigrating there. They will have only
the rights and privileges of British
subjects the same as their brethren en-
ioy here and elsewhere in the empire.
They will be under British rule the
same as they would be under Ameri-
can rule If they were located in Ameri-
can territory. In other words, they
will simply be colonists. do not
know whether the proposition will be
accepted"
The majority of the Jews in Eng
land are said to oppose acceptance OF
the proposal. Israel Zangwill and Sir
|. Francis Montefiore, who are at Basic,
will, it is believed, uphold the pro-
nosal

Atlanta, Aug. 24.-While Booker 7.
Washington of Tuskegee and a party
of some forty negroes, men and wom-
en-, enjoyed a hearty breakfast in the
railroad dining room at Hamlet, N. c.,
yesterday morning. Senator A. o. Ba-
con of Georgia, Joel Hurt. an ATLANTA
millionaire, and a large party of white
men and women from the Pullman
cars walked around on the outside and
went hungry.
Hamlet is a meeting point for trains
on the Seaboard. On the arrival there
of the northbound train yesterday
Washington and his party went from
the rear Pullman, which they had
chartered. direct to the dining room
and took possession. while a crowd of
local negroes stood around the win
dows gazing on in admiration.
Senator Bacon and the other white
persons were invited to occupy a small
improvised dining room but nearly all
of them refused. AS there was a de-
lay of some hours, waiting for trains,
many of the white people were still
there at the dinner hour. They were
then invited into the main dining
room, but refused to go.
The negroes, when they had finished
their meal, came out of the dining
room smoking cigars and cigarettes as
if they enjoyed the situation. Senator
Bacon and other members of the party
expressed great Indignation over the
affair, and the general sentiment was
expressed that Washington had not
benefited his cause by this action.

Thinks There Will BE No Change in
ROOseveIt's Cabinet.
Oyster Bay, Aug. 24.--H H. Kohl
saat, of Chicago, was a guest of the
President and Mrs. Roosevelt at lunch
to-day AS the visit was Mr.. Kohl
saat's third to Sycamore Hill in two
months, the announcement of his COM
ing created some comment.
After his conference with the Presi-
dent, Mr.. Kohlsaat said in response
to direct inquiry by a representative
Of the Associated Press that his call
had nothing whatever to do with any
contemplated change in the cabinet.
ut has been rumored," Mr.. Kohlsaat
said, that l might be appointed post
master general, but there is absolutely
nothing. in that story. The President
contemplates no change In that office.
In fact, he desires that his cabinet
should remain intact, at least until the
close of the present administration.
Personally, l do not desire public Of
fee and the President has no office in
his gift which 1 would accept"
Mr.. Kohlsaat did discuss with the
President the subject of financial leg
is1ation. For several weeks he has been
gathering information for the Presi-
dent bearing upon the subject. His re-
searches have been in both the East
and in the West. and the net results he
has laid before the President.
II think some legislation of RENE
dial character may be enacted at the
approaching session of Congress" he
said, "but there is wide divergence of
opinion among authorities as to what,
If anything, ought to be done. The de-
mand for financial legislation comes
principally from the East, but even here
fnanciers are not in accord.
I'm the West our people are not think
ing much about the matter. The West
is wonderfully prosperous and all of
our banks have so much money they
are discounting Eastern commercial pa
per every day. The best judgment is
that whatever financial legislation is
undertaken should be purely remedial
and very brief, covering perhaps not
more than twenty-five lines"

WILSON'S TERM GAMBLER"

Wilson Ready to Apologize II Prices
Keep Up.

Washington, d. c., Aug. 24-Former
Senator NJ. c. Butler Of South Carolina,
in an interview published in New York
this morning. takes Secretary of Ag-
riculture Wilson to task for his recent
criticism of the men who are manip-
ulating the present corner in cotton.
He says that Messrs. Brown and
Hayne, to whom Secretary Wilson re-
ferred as gamblers, have done more
for the producers of cotton in few
months than the Department of Ag-
riculture has done in ten years.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, re-
ferring to a criticism Of his recent in
tervieW on the corner In cotton, made
by former Senator Butler OF South
Carolina and published IN a New York
paper this morning, said to-day: II
hope the business men Of whom he
speaks will see to IL that these prices
continue until the cotton growers sell
the cotton crop. II that should be
done, l would take off my hat to Gen
Butler and say to him that I regard
him as a general public berefactor who
has been able to see further ahead into
the future than we poor Allows Of
the Department OF Agriculture, but II
on the other hand II should occur that
the price of cotton Is dropped when

Mobile, Ala, Aug. PA. K. Tyson &
Co. received to-day a cablegram from
Cienfuegos, Cuba, telling of the loss of
the American schooner G. e. Bentley,
undertaken, from Mobile to Cienfue-
gos; the cablegram says passengers are

NEGRO MURDERER
CAUGHT IN MISSOURI.
Is Wanted i'm Virginia for Robbery
and sMurder.

Richmond, Va, Aug. PA Rocky
Mount, Va, special says: Richard
Gibson, negro of the Dill
Ions Mill section of this county
two years ago entered the sstorehouse
of James Skeens and took therefrom
clothing and other articles amounting
in value to 500 or more.
Justice Webster, one of the best citi-
zens of the county, issued an order FOR
his. arrest and placed it in the hands
of local officers for execution. Every
effort was made to arrest the man
but without success.
Later the justice, Mr.. Webster with
Driver Robert billiard, went into the
mountains in search of Gibson, and
in passing the mouth of cave in which
the negro was hiding, the negro heard
them, and, being armed with shot
gun, he stepped to the front of his
hiding place and fired at Webster and
billiard, killing Webster instantly and
slightly wOunding billiard.
The murderer then took to his heels
AS soon as he recovered from the sur
prise and shock, billiard ran after him
and fired, wounding the negro in the
hand, but he made good his escape.
Several hundred citizens, incensed al
Webster's death, organized and secured
the country in search Of the murderer
but without success. Large rewards
have since been offered for his capture
but without avail.
To-day Sheriff Angle received a tele-
gram from Cassville. Mo-, stating thai
they had the negro Gibson in custody
A brother of the dead man lives in oI
near this town in Missouri. and 1t is d
curious coincidence that Gibson should
have been captured there This Mr.
Webster is reported to have identified
the negro though it has been twenty
years since he saw him.
Sheriff Angle, to make sure of the
matter, has wired for Gibson's picture
but SO certain are the officers here that
the murderer has been caught that the
commonwealth attorney of this coun-
ty has wired the governor for a requis-
itien upon the governor of Missouri fol
the body of Gibson.
