TRADE CONDITIONS.

General Situation as Good as Last
 NEW YORK Aug. SIR. G. Dun & Co.'S review of trade says:
 It has been an eventful week in the stock market, more failures occurring, while prices fell to the lowest point since January. 1901. Yet there has been no corresponding demoralization in trade or industry. From an average of $116.27 last September the sixty active railway shares have fallen about $81, and it is not surprising that few concerns have found it impossible to meet their obligations Considering the great shrinkage in market value of securities it is evidence of solidtty iii the business world that suspensions are notssmore numerous, and most of those thus far reported were due to pool operations in specialties rather than general weakness Trade advices from nearly every section continue to show as favorable conditions as year ago, and in many lines the volume of transactions has increased Jobbers report fall business opening with ex- cellent prospects, and manufacturing plants are well occupied, with the ex- ception of cotton mills,

 disasters, it is evident that the mid summer industrial house. cleaning re- vealed many weak spots.

 Heavy Gun Fire.
 BAR HARBOR, Aug. 8.-What is be- lfeved to have been the first gun in the game of mimic war that is being play cd off the eastern New England coast between two fleets of the navy was heard here in the direction of Mount Desert rock.
 The enemy" has theoretically been threatening the coast for period of about two days and half, but up to this time none of the vessels of the at tacking fleet had been sighted At an early hour several vessels, believed to have been a part of Admiral Sands fleet, were sighted some distance off shore, but disappeared shortly after.
 Last night the inhabitants of the town of Eden, generally known as Bar Harbor, were startled by the sound of heavy firing off at sea. The weather was clear and q full moon was shining brightly, so that observation ofshore was possible for some miles. 1t hardly seemed as if the enemy" would choose suoh conditions to run the gantiet Of Admiral Barker's patrol, and as the firing only lasted about. five minutes it was the general belief that the attack was in the nature of a feint.
 Clear weather is predicted for the next forty eight hours, so that the "en- eny'' will probably have a hard task to evade the defending squadron, make harbor and hold it for five hours. If | he .accomplishes that he VIII win the | game 29.As'f2 @ES S1-is1T SI4 '

MACON, Ga, Aug. B. Samuel John son.. the negro who attacked a. white woman near Helena and was overtak- enr by a1mob and hanged, was found in a hut on the outskirts of the city in a dying condition. According to John son's story, the members of the mob left immediately after swinging him to limb. The dangling body was discov- cred by a party of negroes and cut down. Life seemed to be extinct, but after the rope was removed from John sons neck he showed signs of life and was revived. The negroes brought Johnson here and secreted him in q hut, where he was found by health of ficers who heard that negro in the hut was dying.

H fg SUltan's Troops. Drive Back q Force

 sALoNIKA, Turkey, Aug. s.-Four battalions of Turkish troops supported by artillery have met and routed a body of 1,70o Bulgarians near Sore- witch. N. A band of 300 insurgents has ap- peared near the. railway bridge over the river Vardar, two hours distant from this city.
 The great fodder depots at Samanli, Aydirli and HarmanH have been burned.
 Bulgarian bands have occupied Kru- shevo and are besieging other villages near Monastir.
 The situation is getting worse, and a general rising is feared.
 Turkish troops are concentrating near Krushevo, and an engagement is imminent. aa,5
 The Bulgarian inhabitants of num- Der of villages have fled to the noun tains for refuge. The railways have asked that the troops guarding the lines be quadrupled, but this would en- tail the employment of 10000 soldiers, and in view of the impoverished treas ury the government will find it diff cult to comply with the request.
 It is confidently believed that the porte, in conformity with its formal declarations, will employ only regular troops to suppress the instruction, as it is we'll aware how important it is for Turkey to avoid excesses such as cer- tainly would be the outcome of the en- ploy of the undisciplined Albanian troops.
 The fresh insurrectionary outbreak in Macedonia, which was believed to be impossible, has produced a sensa- ton everywhere. It is believed that the latest provocations by the Turkish troops drove the insurrectionists to de- spair.
 The Bulgarian government is re- solved to maintain friendly relations with the porte and to prevent bands from crossing the frontier, but a popu- lar movement is feared in the event of massacres of peaceful Macedonians by the Turkish soldiery.

Great Preparations Being Made For
 Sundays Ceremony.
 ROME, Aug. S.-St. Peters is closed. the preparations for the coronation tomorrow being nearly completed. Pope Plus X. has expressed a desire to have as many of the humble members of the. faith as possible admitted. and B0,O00 tickets have been distributed by the parish priests, Catholic clubs and associations, seminaries, ecclesiastical colleges, monasteries and convents. The remainder of the seats are reserv- ed for distinguished guests Only. two trfbunes have been erected, one for the diplomatic body and one for the Ro- man aristocracy. The body of the church is divided into compartments with separate entrances.
 From the Venetian provinces people have already arrived by thousands to attend the coronation of ''their pope.'' The papal master of ceremonies has issued the invitations to the archbish- sps and bishops who will participate in the procession from the Vatican into St. Peters. They are to be at the Watt can at o'clock tomorrow morning.
 The government, to avoid untoward incidents, has ordered the piazza and the neighborhood oe St. Peters and the basilica to be occupied by the mili- tary and has forbidden an anticlerical manifestation proposed by the Social fists and Republicans for that day. The pope's first allocution to be delivered at the next secret consistory is looked forward to with great interest.
 Don Carlos, the Spanish pretender, who is a personal friend of Plus K, has said to his followers that he would not now have the papacy against him as he did under the pontificate of Leo, who was the godfather of King Alfon- so, and has even gone so far as to say that he hoped the accession of the pope would help him to the throne
 pr. Lapponi has stated that Cardinal Herrero.y Espinosa is now out of dan- ger and that Cardinal Gibbons is mere iy suffering from intestinal trouble due to excessive heat and overfatigue. His illness is not. regarded as serious
