LABOR CONTROVERSIES.
They are the Most Serious Drawbacks
to Recovery II Business.


New York. Aug. 6.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
Labor controversies are the most
serious drawbacks to recovery in bust
ness, most other important factors
tending toward improvements. De-
spite some reductions in the yield OF
wheat, crop prospects are most en-
couraging, and the loss in quantity OF
wheat promises to be fully offset by
higher prices, so that the agricultural
communities will be in position to pur-
chase commodities freely. Delayed
orders for iron and steel products are
being placed, and at woolen mills
there is a notable increase in activity.
Railway earnings in July were only
"a per cent. smaller than year pre-
vious, and at many cities there Is evil
dence of returning confidence, with a
little Improvement in mercantile col
lections. Several strikes in progress
and others under consideration mill
tate against resumption of normal
conditions in trade.
BY far the most encouraging devel-
opment of the week in the manufac-
turing world was the abandonment OF
their procrastinating attitude by a
number of prominent consumers OF
iron and steel.
Failures this week in the United
States are 230, against 178 the cores

A Mandamus suit Ia eeoun.

Columbus, o., Aug. 81. E. Todd,
attorney for the Fidelity and Deposit
Co., a bonding insurance company of
Baltimore, has filed in the supreme
court mandamus suit against State
Insurance Commissioner Vorys. In
1898 the legislature passed an act re-
quiring such companies to deposit
$4,000 with the state for security. In
1902 this act was repealed, but Com
missioner Vorys has refused to permit
the deposit to be withdrawn, claiming
that the security was a part of con-
tract in each insurance risk written.
This suit is brought to compel him to
permit the deposit to be withdrawn.

Happenings in the
RussO=JapaneseW War

Toxic, Aug. S.-Admiral Togo re-
ports an exciting torpedo boat destroy
er fight which took place off Port Ar
thur on Friday evening, August 8. The
Japanese torpedo boat destroyers AXE
bono and Obosa approached the en-
trance of the harbor for the purpose of
reconoitering. Fourteen Russian tor
pedo boat destroyers dashed out, sep
arated and endeavored to surround
the Japanese boats. The latter broke
through the Gordon, however, driving
off three of the Russian boats. At this
point the Japanese torpedo boat de-
stroyer Inasuma joined the other two
and the three turned and spiritedly at
tackled the IL Russian boats. The
latter retired within the harbor. The
Japanese boats were uninjured.
TWO JAP CRUISERS SANK.
London, Aug. 9.-According to the

10000 sick and wounded persons at
Port Arthur and that the Russians are
negotiating with the Japanese to send
the hospital ship Mongolia away full
of sick
st. Petersburg, Aug. 9.-There is in
creasing impatience among all classes
for decisive news from Lao Yang.
Gen. Sakharoff's report that there has
been no change in the Manchurian
army's sphere of operations merely
adds to the tension, which possibly
will continue for some time.
Viceroy Alexieff's dispatch from
Mukden communicating official mes
sages from Port Arthur bears out the
reported losses of the Japanese pro-
tected cruisers Itsukushima and Chi
yoda on July 26 and indicates consid-
erable activity on the part of the Port
Arthur squadron. The care exercised
in sending a dredge fleet ahead of the
squadron, both in leaving and return
ing to the harbor, is amply vindicated
by the loss of one of the pilot boats.
Che Foo, Aug. 9.-During the last "a

refugees have arrived here from
