SAYS BRISK TRADE FOR FALL.
Mercantile Agency Gives Reports From
Commercial Centers.

NEW YORK, August 12.-Reports to the
International Mercantile Agency from COM
mercial centers indicate increased distri-
button of merchandise at the west ana
south. with excellent outlook for brisk
fall trade. Adverse factors, such as strikes
and crop damage, while curtailing local
business in some parts of the country,
have not been generally effective, inter-
ferng little with business as a whole. For
these reasons the outlook Is encouraging,
although trade is apt to remain quiet till
after election, when the outlook for the
fall can be more clearly discerned.
Conditions in the west are especially sat
isfactory. Jobbers in dry goods, clothing
shoes, mems and women's apparel are pre-
pairing for a heavy fall business. Advance
orders are satisfactory and the outlook is
regarded as encourag ing. Increased travel
to St. Louis is stimulating trade in dis
tricts tributary to that center, with the re-
suit that wholesalers are booking larger
orders than usual. In territory affected
by the excitement over the reported injury
to wheat certain branches of business
have shown some falling off, although the
decrease has not been important or very
much below the volume in sight at this
date year ago.
The south shows up well, with reports Of
excellent business at Louisville and sur
rounding country. (which appears to be uE-
usually prosperous. Dry goods in that sec
ton hold firm. with few price changes and
collections satisfactory. Although quiet
the boot and shoe industry shows heav
Ter movement than last year. and increased
orders for manufactured tobacco indicate
strong conditions in that trade. More
abundant rains in Texas have improved
the outlook in that state, which reports
satisfactory demand for wholesale hard
ware, dry goods and groceries. Statesmen
for Baltimore houses show satisfactory re-
suits. and jobbers in that section looked
for an increased number of buyers in the
fall markets. Collections in that territory
are reported to be only fair, with some
concern over the outlook in clothing

WARRANT FOR MoToRMAN.
Effort to Fix Responsibility for Acct
dent on Electric Road.

The authorities are endeavoring to fix the
responsibility for the collision on the
Chevy Chase branch of the Capital Trac-
cut avenue extended the night of the Sd
instant when two persons. a mother and
daughter, were injured and a number of
others shaken up. To that end a warrant
was issued from the Police Court today
for John H. James. |
James was the motorman operating the
train of two cars which collided with the
train in charge Of Conductor Capper who
was tried in Judge ONeals branch of the
Police Court yesterday afternoon, resulting
in a dismissal of the charge, as was noted
in The Star.
The warrant alleges a violation of the
police regulations by failing and neglect
ing to maintain distance of 100 feet be-
tween his car and the one preceding him
in the same direction. The law calls for
a penalty of from 81 to $40 in case of a
conviction.
James, who was called as witness in
the case which was tried yesterday. stated
that he saw the car in front of him when
he was 500 yards distant, but did not dis
til he was within 200 yards Of 1t. He was
asked by Prosecutor Stevens why he did
not then apply the brake on his car. but he
declined to reply to the inquiry, 1t Is stat
ed, after being instructed by counsel for
the railway company to refuse on the
ground that he might incriminate himself
in case of future proceedings.
The warrant was issued on complaint OF
Policeman Law Of the seventh precinct,
who visited the scene of the accident in
company with Policeman Lucas snort
time after it occurred.

ALIENS IN PRISON.
Forthcoming Report of Commissioner
General Sargent

Interesting figures collected from the re-
ports of special agents sent into every state
and territory. showing the number of aliens
confined in the penal and charitable insti-
buttons of the United States, will be en-
braced in the forthcoming annual report Of
F. P. Sargent, commissioner general of i'm
migration. These figures show startling
condition of affairs. Thousands of foreign
ers. who under the laws should not have
been admitted to this country, have become
public charges. and as such will be de-
ported at the expense of. the steamship
companies that brought them to the United
States.
Commissioner General Sargent will go
into his subject in his report, which-is now
nearing completion, at great length. 1t is
understood that the information which he
will submit to Congress. in response to. q
resolution passed last winter, will be used
as a basis in framing more restrictive laws
aimed at criminal and pauper~ immigrants
From all that can be learned at the pu-
reau the number of criminal and pauper
aliens confined III public institutions
throughout the country Is anna zingly large.
especially in New York and other eastern
states. Under the direction of the COM
missioner general the special agent who
conducted the inquiry in the field PAID spe-
cial attention to the criminal classes and
embraced in their reports detailed figures
giving the nationality of the criminal
aliens the crime for which each individual
was imprisoned, and the length of time he
has been in this country -'.''.F

A METEoRIC SHOWER
Observed Last Evening From the
Naval Observatory. --...-

A meteoric shower brilliant and in many
respects unusual, was observed last evening
from the naval observatory by several
members of the staff of that institution.
One observer counted fifteen meteors in
eight minutes, one of which lasted five sec
onds. which, according to the scientists, is
an exceptionally long time.
Meteoric showers are caused by the earth
cutting across a swarm of minute bodies,
their orbits mutually intersecting. Light
and heat are evolved by the obstruction TO
their rapid motion. offered by the earth s
atmosphere These small bodies are sup
posed to be the remains of dissipated
comets.
The predicted date of this display is from
August 9th to 18th. and it is improba BILE,
though not at all impossible. that the show
er will be repeated late this evening or
early tomorrow morning.
