TRADE CONDITIONS.
R. G. Dun's Review Tells of 1he
 Weeks Results.

R. G. Dun's Review Tells of ehe
 Weeks Results.
 NEW YORK, May 9.-R. c. Dun's weekly review of trade says: Unrest in the ranks of labor has increased rather than abated since May 1, when difficulties of this sort usually culmi- nate. No single struggle of great mag nitude is in progress, but the frequen- cy of small strikes is disturbing, and in the aggregate a large force is idle, while important industrial undertak- ings are checked. This is notably the ease as to structural work, of which 8 large amount has been contemplated. Good reports are received from foot wear factories, shipments from Boston for the year thus far surpassing all records, and clothing makers receive Implications of spring orders in addi- ton to getting out fall samples.
 At Baltimore there is great activity in the manufacture of straw hats and negligee shirts, while paper mills at Philadelphia find conditions satisfac- tory. Weather reports are irregular, stimulating retail trade at some points. but more often retarding the distribu>. ton of merchandise. Prices of com modities declined slightly during April, Dun's index number falling from $99,- 267 to $98,561. A year ago the highest point of recent years was touched at S102, 2,2S9. Railway earnings were 13.4 per cent larger than in last year and 28.7 per cent above 1901.
 Cotton attracts most attention in the markets for the great staples. The south reports the crop late, and injury has been done in many states, although the large acreage will probably make up much of the loss.
 Grain has not maintained last weeks position, no definite reports of injury being received, although farm work has been retarded by unfayorable weather. Unsatisfactory conditions at four mills contributed to the easier tone of wheat.
 Failures for the week numbered 175 in the United States against 21S last year and 2 in Canada compared with 24 year ago.

CARNEGIE AT THE HEAD.

Great Library Dispenser Presides at
 Iron and Steel Institute Dinner.
 LONDON, May 9.-Andrew Carnegie presided last night at the annual dtn- ner of the Iron and Steel institute at the Hotel Cecil. Prime Minister Bal four was seated at the right and the Duke of Devonshire at the left hand of the chairman. The $50 guests pres ent included Ambassador Choate Secre- tary White, Lord Alverstone, Sir Hen ry Fowler, Sir Henry Campbell Ban herman, John Morley, James Bryce and other prominent persons.
 Seldom has a citizen of a foreign country been the center of more brilliant gathering. MT. Carnegie struck happy note at the outset when he toasted King Edward as "the great est of ambassadors and the greatest harmonizing force" and kept Premier Balfour in peals of laughter at his American anecdotes. Sir Henry Camp bell Zimmerman made an amusing speech in which he chaffed Mir. Carne- gle with having his heart in Scotland, although he had temporarily assumed foreign citizenship.
 The speeches of the evening referred to a great extent to the relations of capital and labor.
 Almost all the speeches eulogized MT. Carnegie, Sir Henry Fowler particular ly referring to his priceless services in promoting the friendship of the Unit ed States and Great Britain. These al- lusions were all warmly cheered. The 4~ AKr Tox lnSe ', ceived with the singing of "For He's Jolly Good Fellow" and three cheers and another for Mrs. Carnegie" MT. Carnegie's response was in humorous vein and elicited constant laughter.

 LOS ANGELES, Gal, May 9.-Presi dent Roosevelt made brief stop at the home of Mrs. Garfield, widow of Presi dent J. A. Garfield, with whom he chat ted pleasantly for a few moments.
 Pasadena, famous for it's beautiful homes, was elaborately decorated iD honor of the presidents visit. At the Wilson High school the president de Hvered a short speech.
 The president said in part:
 "The man that is the ideal good citi. zen is the man who in the event of trial, in the event of a call from his country, can respond to that call as you responded in the great war. When that comes you need not only fiery enthusi. asm, but you need the body containing that fiery enthusiasm to be sufficiently hardy to bear 1t up." .
 John Czolgosz, brother of the anarch. ist who killed President Mckinley, is still in confinement.
 F. Augustus Heinze's plans to give a Copper" dinner to President Roosevelt at Butte, Mont, are halted because of a quarrel with the mayor.
 After the invitation to the dinner had been accepted by the president MT. Heinze gave an order to a prominent jewelry firm of New York city for a large number of odd and costly souve- nirs. The invitations were to be N. graved on plates of copper, and the souvenirs were to be elaborately de. signed gold lined copper cups.

ing Out Hopes of Trade.
 PEKING, May 9.-The Russians, it is announced, have reoccupied New. chwang with a large force and have also put garrisons in the forts at the mouth of the Liao river.
 It is reported that Russia was accu mula ting great stores of provisions and war materials. It is also known that the Russian military authorities have been buying many horses. All informa ton indicates that Russia is preparing to increase her forces in Manchuria.
 The Russians have taken a large tract of land across the river from Newchwang and commanding the ter minus of the Shanhaikwan railroad. IL was stated that Russia informed the Chinese officials that the tract was needed for Russian drill ground. The selection of the site seemed remarka. ble, because all the troops were then quartered on the opposite side of the river several miles distant, where plen. ty of land was available.
 The Chinese officials describe the dowager empress as being greatly dis. tressed and as fearing that the Rus sian aggression will excite antiforeign demonstrations resulting in retaliation on the part of the foreigners and the introduction of more foreign troops.
 Nowhere has a suggestion been heard that China will resort to arms in order to resist Russia.
 Prince Ching, the grand secretary, secured five days leave of absence. This is favorite stratagem of Chinese unpleasant situations.
 It is stated here that Russian infu- ence is being exerted to conciliate American opinion and that appeals are being made to the traditional friend ship of the two nations, with the argu- ment that Russian development of Manchuria will open a great field for American commerce, while the opposi- tion of the United States to Russia s plans might provoke retaliation against American trade.
 The Russians have established con- sulate at Mukden. .. .-
 Russia's coup has caused profound surprise here, as recent developments have led to the expectation that Russia would compromise her demands since they had been revealed to the powers. The latest maneuver is interpreted as being intended as reply to China's re- fusal to grant Russia's demands, to the protests of the powers, and as decla- ration that she is ready to fight in or der to maintain possession of Manchu- ria. It is considered significant that the Russian army reoccupied certain strat- egical posts at just about the time na- val re-enforcements were reaching the gulf of Pechili.. .e.

 much thought, when one moves among the workers and ascerbains their diff ferent opinions which ultimately result ed in some of employers granting the 9 hour working day, while others en- joy Saturday half-holiday through the summer months. In this age of competition 1t Is not surprising to judge why the ideas of men vary, be cause it is a recognized fact that they are all living just as economically as possible with the firm intention of banking dollar for a rainy day.

One in partic- ular was in regard to the ones that never attended meeting, but who in- variably found much fault in regard to the manner that the affairs of their organization was conducted.

He had not so far mentioned Loom

Panama situation at a banquet at
which perhaps many were excited by
wine, and had given information
which the senate had not had from the
administration or from any other
source He did not tell the country all
the facts, but he made the broad asser-
ton that the president was bold and
great man, who had the courage and
the patriotism to land marines and
seize part of the territory of the re-

Here Aldrich interrupted German
with a question as to whether it was
the purpose Of the recolcentrated
Democracy to defeat the treaty. Cor
man said that it was not his practice
to treat questions of international
scope as party man, and he believed
that by the union of all the forces in
clined to protect the best interests of
the country it's honor could be saved.
He agreed, he said, that the canal
must be built, but in the light of all

What Hoar Wants to Know.

He said no man in the country de-
sired more eagerly than himself to
support the administration and act
with his party associates. He also
was favorable to the isthmian canal
and was DESTROYS that the present pres
ident Of the United States should build
the great waterway. But he was even
more anxious that the canal should be
built without faint Or suspicion of
national dishOnor." what we want
to know" he said, Ibid this govern
ment, knowing that a revolution was
about to take place, so arrange mat
ters that the revolution, whether peace
able or otherwise, should be permitted
to so on without interruption, and
whether our national authorities took
measures to prevent Colombia from
stopping it,
Pleads for All the Facts.
Hoar said it was no justification of
our course to say Colombia had failed
to ratify the treaty for the construc
tion of the Panama canal. Had the
United States itself not failed to ratify
many treaties? In conclusion he plead
ed for all the facts and asked that
they be sent to the senate through the
usual official channels. I'VE are en-
titled to know the whole story he
said before taking action on the
canal treaty, and we are entitled to
know it officially. not through some in
dividual senator, who may color it with
his own views, or through the unof-

of some other government"
