CAUSE FOR DISBARMENT
OF MISSOURI LEGISLATOR

Jefferson City. Mo, May 21.-The
supreme court found Speaker James
II. Whitecotton, of the Missouri house
of representatives, as attorney for
Howard Sharp, guilty of mutilating
the record in Il case from Monroe coun-
ty The court orders the record cor
rected by striking out certain words
and figures which it finds were written
in after it had been signed by the
trial judge, and orders the case re-
argued on May 81.
Some time ago Attorney General
Grow filed affidavits that Whitecot-
ton had admitted changing the record,
and the court ordered testimony taken
at Paris, Mo. Reviewing the testi-
mony the court finds that the affida-
Wits of the attorney general are sus-
tained. The attorney general can now
institute disbarment proceedings
against Whitecotton.

THE SITUATION
NOT IMPROVING
Dun & Co. Say Hopes for Better
Trade in Future Are
Entertained.

New York. May PR. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Reports of increased trade are re-
cefved from a few favored points, but
the nation as a whole has not improved
its commercial position during the past
week insofar as current distribution
of merchandise or manufacturing ac-
tivities are concerned. Prospects for
the future have improved somewhat,
however, on account of the progress
made in agriculture. Unless the crops
suffer an unsual setback hereafter it
should be a good year for the farmers,
and all other industries Will feel the
stimulus.
Lake traffic is seriously interrupted
by the strike. but otherwise the labor
situation is not alarming. Leading
branches of manufacturers are eX-
tremely' quiet. the recent slight gain
in iron and steel having disappeared
and transporting interests are not
eQualling last years results. railway
earnings thus far available showing
decrease of &c per cent.
Failures this week numbered $50 in
the United States, against 191 last
year, and IL in Canada, compared with
II year ago.

PLANS OF GUBERNATORIAL
CANDIDATES NOT ANNOUNCED

Springfield, May 21.-After the adj
journment of the republican cOnven-
ton yesterday till May 81 Gov. Yates
held a meeting with his ieutenants
and discussed a hurried tour of the
state in behalf of his candidacy.
1t seems to be the general opinion
that there is no advantage or disad-
vantage in it for any of the candi-
dates. Their plans for the interim
have not been disclosed, but their
energies, it is expected, will be de-
voted chiefly to keeping Their forces
intact, so that when the convention
reconvenes the deadlock is likely to
continue, though many expect the per-
fection of n combustion which will
