TRADE REVIEW.
The Backward Spring Proves Some
what of a Check to Progress
of Business.

New York, April 1G.-R G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
'Tardy spring weather following an IN
usually severe winter makes it difficult
to restore satisfactory trade conditions,
but it is encouraging to find at many
points this unreasonable weather the
only cause of complaint and there is al
ways hope that the early losses may be
made up at least in large measure when
thermal conditions become normal. La
Dor controversies are still an adverse,

Failures this week number 225 in the
United States, against PIP last year, and
16 in Canada, compared with 16 a year
ago."
Bradstreet's says: Trade is still ir-
regular, with unseasonably cool weather
the chief but not the only drawback.
In some sections, notably the south and
portions of the east and west, brighter
weather has helped trade and Incl
dentally crop preparation. Most meas
ures of trade point to a smaller volume
of business than year ago, but it is to
be noted that while slight decrease
may be shown in gross railway earn
ings for March, the first quarters earn
ings will fall little behind a year ago,
showing that in volume of products
moved there is little difference from
year ago, and that the railroads hava
so far this year almost held their own.

Vassili Vereschagin, the Russian
painter of war scenes, who was born
in 1912, had been a spectator and par
ticipant in several of the wars of re-
cent years, led by his aim to paint war
as it actually is. Among his pictures
are included battle scenes from the
Russian war in Turkestan in 1867, the
Turkish war in 1878, the Trans
vaal conflict, the Santiago and Philip
pine campaigns Of the Spanish-Ameri-
can war and the Boxer campaign in
China, made from sketches drawn on
the spot. He accompanied Gen. Kauff-
mann's expedition in Turkestan in
1867, and fought and sketched through
the Russo-Turkish war, being severely
wounded at the siege of P1evna. An
exhibition of his paintings at Odessa
in 1900 included an categorical paint
ing depicting the horrors of the Trans
vaal war, and the following year he Wis
tied the Philippines and China and

made many sketches of battlefelds and
soldier types, being very favorably i'm
pressed with the American soldiers.
In March, 1902, he visited Cuba at the
suggestion of President Roosevelt to
make sketches of the Santiago battle
fields and the scene of the destruction
of Cervera's fleet, and subsequently
came to the United States to paint a
picture of the battle of San Juan,
showing the American lines charging
up San Juan hill. His fame rests
largely on his pictures of the Napo-
leonic campaign in Russia and in real
istic paintings on New Testament sub
jects He left St. Petersburg for Port
Arthur early in March, travelling on
the same train with Grand Duke Boris
and Prince Arsenen Karagoegevitch,
brother of King Peter of Servia.

Saves the Vessel.
Capt. Cowles gave his commands, and
but for his presence of mind and that
of the officers of the ship, the Missouri
would have gone down. The second ex-
plosion occurred near one of the mag
azines, and so hot was the fire that the
brasswork of the magazines was melted.
Smoke and the fumes of the burned pow
der made it almost impossible to enter
either the turret or handling room, but
officers and men with handkerchief
over their faces made efforts to rescue
the men inside. Leading the rescuing
party was Capt. Cowles.
Before the fumes of the burning pow
der had left the turret officers and men
were lifting out the dying and dead men.
Three minutes after the explosion all
were on deck and the surgeons form the
Missouri, Texas anG Brooklyn were at
tending to those not dead.

The 25 men of the turret were found
lying in a heap. They had started for
the exit when the first explosion Oc-
Cured and had just reached there when
the more terrible explosion in the hand
ling room occurred, which burned and
strangled them to death.

command to the men, as he was on top Of
the heap of men. having fallen there
after he had allowed them to pass him
to get out of the turret. The bodies
were hardly recognizable, the terrible
and quick fire having burnt clothing
from the bodies of the men and the flesh
hung from them in shreds. The faces
were mutilated by the smoke and flames,
Only one man was breathing when the
turret crew was rescued and he died a
moment after he reached the deck.
