TRADE REVIEW.
tnrded by the Storms-Condi-
tions Generally Hopeful.

New York, Feb. 21.-R. G. Dun q
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
Just as the railway congestion be-
gan to give way before the vigorous
efforts of traffic managers, the stu.
alton became further complicated by
the worst snowstorm of the season
and the movement of merchandise
was again interrupted. Latest fig.
ures of gross earnings show the usual
gains, February thus far surprising
by 17.6 per cent. last year, when un-
usual delay was caused by severe
storms, and 1901 by 17.6 per cent. In
creased cost of operation, however.
necessitated further advances in
rates. Trade was interrupted to 4
considerable extent by the inclement
weather except in certain seasonal
BILE lines, notably heavy wearing APP
parel. Wholesale houses dealing in
staples have received liberal orders
and much forward business has been
placed. Jobbers urge quicker ship
ments on old orders while travellers
send in many new contracts.
Failures for the week numbered
247 in the United States, against $50
year ago, and 20 in Canada, as COM
pared with 81 last year."

Galena, ILL.,, Feb. 21.-Three train
men were killed here at 10:30 o'clock
Friday night in an accident to the Chi
cago-Minneapolis limited train on the
Illinois Central road. None Of the pas
sengers were injured. A freight en-
CINE, on which was Engineer Searles,
had been run onto the main track to
get water, and had just started to re-
turn to its train when the limited

around a small hill, and crashed into
the light engine. Both engines were
badly wrecked and two men. who were
killed outright, were buried in the de-
bris. These were on the freight en-
CINE and had no chance to escape. En-
gineer Searles was probably fatally
hurt. Fireman Spockman, Of the pas
senger train, lived about three hours.

Hotel = Firetrap.
The hotel, three-story brick We
neer structure, is said to have been
veritable firetrap. The flames
started in q pile of rubbish in the
basement, presumably ignited by
defective electric light wires. The
night clerk was on the third floor
when the cry of fire, raised by q
bell boy, startled him. He took up
the cry and in an instant the hall
ways were choked with frightened
guests. A rush was made for the
stairways. It was then that the
crowd already collected in the street
heard heartrending cries of anguish
and desperation, for the fire, feeding
ravenously on the tinder-like mate
rial of the lower floor, had complete
ly cut off escape.
Then followed stampede for the
windows, the only means of exit left.
The street below was now filed with,
crowd scarcely less frantic than
the despairing ones in the fast-burn-
ing building.
Victims Forced to Jump.
The victims were literally driven by
the flames to jump. Nearly every
one of them fingered to the last mo-
ment, urged by the people below to
wait as long as possible in the hope
of assistance. Then cry would tell
that the fire had reached them. or
the smoke had made it impossible to
breathe, and one after another
jumped, some to the street and some.
more fortunate, to the roofs OF
buildings adjoining. In short space
of time the street was filled with
men and women bruised, battered.
broken-limbed and half crazed. All
were in their night garments.
A number of the guests who were
able to converse calmly following their
escape declared that they stumbled
over PROSTATE bodies as they rushed to
the windows. The flames literally were
chasing them, and the smoke made 1t
almost impossible to breathe.
The proprietor of the hotel placed his
estimate of the number of people in
the building at between 20 and 80.

jured. The babel of tongues raised
in protest testified to the world
wide character of the gathering.
There was long and tedious wait
before the ceremony commenced, and
the audience was growing restless.
when suddenly q great roar of "Long
live Leo" and Long live the pope-king"
announced the arrival Of the pontiff
His holiness was borne in the sedia
gestatoria on the shoulders of eight
men habited in red brocade. The pope
himself wore gorgeous robes, and had
the triple crown on his head. He be-
slowed his benediction right and left,
as he passed through the cheering con-
course, whose enthusiasm was SO great,
and whose desire to touch the hem of
the pope's gown was so intense that the
presence of the guard seemed really
necessary for his protection.
In a procession, surrounded by such
brilliant escort of prelates, aristoe-
racy and guards, Pope Leo always ap-
pears at his best. His feebleness and
bent form are hidden and the public
sees only the venerable patriarch, with
cameo-like features and kindly smile.
The pope was accompanied by Car
dinals Mocenni, Perraud, Ferrari.
Satolli. Respighi, Boschi and Mac
chi, and escorted by the no.
BILE guards, in their red state
uniforms. which they had not
| worn since the fall of the tenn
poral power. On the right of the
pontifical throne was assembled the
Pecci family, to which the pope he
longs, and on the left stood Count
Almodovar. When the pontiff ascend
ed the throne he seemed to be in
kind of glorified atmosphere. attained
by a peculiar arrangement of red
1raperies before the windows.
Cardinal Boschi read third adj
dress and presented to his holiness
the symbolic keys, one of gold and
the other of silver, accompanied by
an offering of $4,000 in gold coins.
| The Roman committee for the jubi-
lee fetes presented a rich parchment
volume with the signatures of all
who had contributed TO the offerings.
| with another $4,000, to be devoted
to the restoration of the Basilica Of
| st. John Lateran, which Is under the
care Of Cardinal Satolli. Other COM
mittees followed with addresses and
offerings.
The pope expressed his gratifica-
| ton and admiration Mt the artistic
designs and workmanship of the VA
rious offerings. and then charged
Mgr. Bisleti, his master of the cham
Der, to read Latin speech addressed
'To my venerable brothers and be-
loved children" In this address his
holiness expressed satisfaction at the
manifest attention of which he is the
object on the part Of the whole Cath
Ole world. The address ended by
saying that the pontiff was happy
to celebrate his jubilee amidst the
homage and veneration of the Cathc-
| lie universe. After bestowing the
apostolic blessing, the pope returned
to his apartments amid the cnthusi-
astic plaudits of the multitude. He
completed the functions Of the jubi-
lee without undue fatigue. On re-
turning to his apartments, he ex-
claimed: "This is really the hnppiest
day of my life."
