CHAPTER VIII. Continued.)

Ralph heard the babel of voices, the
rumble of trucks, and the bump of
heavy baggage. He was alone; but he
shivered and glanced apprehensiVely
around. Then some irresistible curiosi-
ty drew him toward the doorway. Slow
ly, reluctantly, he approached the exit.
With bated breath he shielded his body
behind the swinging door and peeped
out. He could see nothing but the en-
CINE and baggage car. Farther and
farther he extruded his head, until the
whole train lay within the plane of his
vision. One particular car attracted his
attention-and held it. He saw not the
bustling throng; heard not the confused
murmur Of many voices. Ravenously
his eyes deyoured the gaudy lettering
upon the blue-and-gold rolling palace.
Ills dry lips moved as he read:

order lists of manufacturers. Railway earnings thus far reported for June ex-. ceed last years by 5.S per cent. Condi- tions in the iron and steel industry are sufficiently confusing to prevent any de- finite tendency, although factors calcu- lated to produce weakness appear to pre- ponderate. Special sales of imported pig iron have been made at concessions but is attributed to delay in transportation and a forced sale by owners. Three de- pressing factors have existed. The labor situation, condition of crops and the de- cline in prices of stocks, although all have improved and may soon cease to exercise any banefui effect Meanwhile, uncer- tainty as to the future course of prices of iron and steel products has become generally acknowledged and even ex- perts in the industry hesitate to express ports show a large decrease except as to ore.
 At the cotton mills there is fair cur rent activity although spinners whose stocks of raw material are low, have not only ceased business for future delivery but refuse to consider propositions. or else place their figures at d prohibitive posi- tion. Demands are chiefly limited to inn mediate consumption. Lower grades or light weight woolens for next spring have been opened at advances Of 21sc to 5c a yard Reports regarding the foot wear industry are satisfactory. Foreign trade is rem -rkably well maintained con- sidering the numerous factors that oper- ate.
 Failures this week were 213 in the United States against 294 last year. and A in Canada compared with 1s a year ago.

 In Due Time.
RON AND STEEL WEAKER

New York, June 19.-Bradstreets tomor- row will say:
 Evidence multiplies that the second week of June saw the turning point for the better in crop trade and labor mat ters. Improvement in these lines con tinued and accelerated by the weather of the past week has begun to be reflected in actual demand at the west and south and although cool, rainy weather is still drawback at the east, many signs of progress in the right direction are noticed. Pig iron and steel are weaker. buying is still slow and production is at an enor- nous rate. An important but expected decline has materialized in lead and cot ton, owing to manipulative handling has advanced further, eomplicating the sit- uation of manufactured goods. Wool Is steady at the east while selling ready enough at leading western primary mar ket. Cotton goods are rather frmer, though buying is naturally only from a hand to mouth character and export bus hess is lacking. Mems wear worsteds, are depressed but dress goods are in good shape Pig iron production is at the rate VI HisVVVtVVV lOilS Nedily diu buyers Slill aold, hence weakness and declines of 15c 10 s1 per ton at all markets. Re-sales of imported iron are at concessions Steel 6 easier and finished products are less active. Iron bars at , to 10c per 100 pounds lower. Tin plate mills are running at full capacity. A large rail tonnage awaits placing Lead had lost a half cent this week and tin is lower, but copper is ostensiby unchanged. Lumber Is feel ing the effects of existing stocks and the Encouragement caused by labor troubles generally. but is still quite we'll held. An thracite coal is called for more rapidly than 1t can be furnished. Leather is quiet, shoe manufacturing is between sea- sons, but eastern shipments are larger than year ago. Eastern straw hat man. ufacturers have done business fully equal to fast years excellent trade and re- orders are being prolonged by the usual period Wheat, including flour, exports for the week ending June IS, aggregated s,6174l5 bushels. against 4,910,3 last week and 3,S6O, 434 same week last year.

NO FEAR OF UPRISING.
czar's Telegram to King Peter Pre-.
 vents Any Internal Trouble.

Belgrade, June 19.-With the receipt of the Czar's telegram to King Peter ends, in the opinion of the best informed per- sons, natives and foreigners, all posslbili- ty of an internal rising against the pro- visional government of Servia. The dis patch has so strengthened the hands of the conspirators that there is no chance whatever of opposition to them. Nothing is now heard but talk of the approaching reception of the new king. The munich pality of Belgrade is also sending depu- tation to meet King Peter and intends erecting three triumphal arches between the railroad station and the town.
 Large crowds are constantly gathering before the windows of shop on the main street of Belgrade where, since the receipt of the Czar's message, large photograph of the chief military actors in the late drama has been displayed.
 It is still uncertain whether the parlia- mentary deputation to greet King Peter will leave here tonight or tomorrow.
 The skupschtina and senate during the day adopted a modification of the consti- tuition of 1888.

FAKE OR FALSEnOOD?

Responding to the Bulletin expose OF
its fake cablegram regarding George
Allen and George A. Davis, the morn
ing press makes the specious plea that
the Portland dispatch Of Aug. 10 was
special" and the credit assigned "a
the Associated Press was merely an Of
fee error.
Special" indeed. BY wireless tele-
graph, grapevine telegraph or clothes
line cable? If the morning paper re-
ceived the purported cablegram over
the Pacific cable, the only one at pres
ent known % exist in this city, II could
and would produce a copy of the mes
sage as II came from the cable Office
and statement from cable officers
that such a dispatch had been received
and delivered by them.
From whom was this purported cable
received? Has the morning press q
special representative in Portland, Ore
gon, or did Allen pen the toothsome
morsel and request that IL be sent at
so much per word over the cable?
Until the morning press can pro-
duce the evidence, very easily obtained
If II exists, its ATTENDANTS dispatch
stands before the community as de-
liberate fake. Unless this evidence
IL forthcoming the excuse made this
morning makes the folly of the fake
the father OF direct falsehood.
