SERIOUS SITUATION.
Preservation of Present Russian In-
 stitutions is Threatened.

Rome, May 13.-A secret report re- ceiyed from St Petersburg depicts the internal situation of Russia as becom- ing most serious as regards the pre- servation of the present institutions, the military failures in the far east having strengthened the opinion that the evils are due to the present organ ization of the country in which a change is necessary.
 The hope is expressed that the em- peror himself, seeing the danger, will be induced to grant the country a con- stitution, in which event, it is assert ed, the enthusiasm of the people will become so great as to render it possi- ble to raise an army and collect the means necessary to defeat Japan. Otherwise, the report says 1t is believ- ed, all efforts made at St Petersburg will remain futile, as besides the war in the far east Russia will be obliged to face q latent if not an open revo- 1utionary movement at home Depriv- ing her of the most progressive. ele- ments of the empire, such as poles and Films.

TRADE PICKING UP.
Con ditions Good and Heavy FaI
 Orders Looked For.

New York, May 13.-Special dis patches to the International Mercan- tile Agency indicate that general trade is picking up throughout the west and south. Eastern business has also been stimulated except in the New England states, where depression incident to the rather general shutting own of cotton mills Is having marked effect. Most of the Improvement is ascribed to more reasonable weather and general belief that underlying conditions are sound with prospects of good fall orders.
 Distribution of merchandise in and about Chicago shows decided improve ment. Recovery is specially noted in wearing apparel and furnishing goods, although the total volume for the sea- son is scarcely up to the 1903 record. In the city of Chicago labor is much more settled than a year ago. The tie up in lake traffic has had slight infiu- ence thus far. Building is active in Chicago.
 Winter wheat in the southwest has been helped by more favorable wealth CT Too much rain in the northwest has retarded the planting of spring wheat and conditions east of the Mis- sissippi reflect serious damage in the Ohio valley district, where only half the average yield is looked for.
 The outlook in the iron industry is still modied by the attitude of the rail- roads, which will not buy under pres fient conditions. One western system is said to have held back an order for 10000 cars until after election Pitts burg reports nothing encouraging in the demand for structural material and plates. Reasonable hardware is, however, in active demand. The situ- ation is much complicated by the dis ruption of the ore pool and the gener- ally unsatisfactory tone of the mar ket,

 George did not like this and, it is
 claimed, his father got angry at him

 made leaving all to George and made
 another, cutting George off without, it 1 is said, even the proverbiaI shilling,

 not only that, but collected money due his father and borrowed also on his
 name without his knowledge OF per 1 mission, and that his rather did not. know of this until after George had l left the farm. The result, however. or, being cut off was a suit by George for breach of contract and damages for
 his services on the farm against his estate. He claims that there was in his fathers request to him to remain on the farm and that 1t would eventu- l ally be his, an implied agreement that ne would not marry second time.
 The second marriage necessarily pre- vented him from carrying out that
 agreement in the absence of an ante

STOCK BROKER JUMPED.
Leaped From Vessel When it Was Three Hours Out From Cleveland

Buffalo, May 13.-A man believed to have been a New York stock broker named Shell jumped from a Cleveland and Buffalo steamer when the vessel was about three hours out from Cleve- land, last evening. A travelling man who refused to give his name tells the following story of the suicide:
 II was sitting in the buffet having drink about 10 o'clock when q short, heavy, red faced man entered and sat down at the table. We got into con versation and he told me his name was Shell. He said among other things that he was financially involved to the extent of $165,O00 and that he was going to kill himself because of his trouble. He threatened three times to take his. life and talked to him and urged him not to do anything rash
 II believed the man intended to kill himself, however, so when we left the buffet I called the attention of a cou. pie of bellboys or deck hands to the man. You'd better watch him., I said, he's threatened to jump overb oard, and I guess he'll do it.
 A minute or two later I heard one of the boys cry out that he'd gone ov- erboard. Then I went up to the top deck to see what efforts were made to rescue the man. Ine captain y0lleQ out to get lifeboat ready to lower and the searchlight was turned on. They did not turn the light to the stern of the steamer and ventured to tell the captain that I thought he wasn't going about the thing in the right way. He made me get off the deck. It was just 1O:55 o'clock when the man jumped oyerboard 1t was 11:17 before the steamer was brought to stop.p
 Captain McAlpine says he turned the steamer around when he heard the cry of Man overboard'' and retraced his course. Naturally, he says, he did not turn the searchlight to the stern when he was returning to the spot where the man wentSoyer, but kept it forward, sweeping across the steamers s track. Tn. the buffet Shell made the statement that he had not taken 8 statePoom or berth because he never intended to reach Buffalo.
 New York, May 13.-Nothlng is known here of an alleged shortage in the accounts of any man named Shell, or is there any broker in the city of that name

THE DUTY ON RRINE

Boston. May 13.-The question raised by the fish importers of New England whether 1t is not just that the duty on brine surrounding imported fish should be abolished was the cause of the as sembling of the general board of United States appraisers here to-day to give hearing on the matter. The importers have regarded the issue of great importance because they claim that with duty on brine their profits are materially reduced. Importers from New York, Baltimore and PhfIa- delphia were here to attend the hear ing. The general contention of the importers is that the duty on brine is not protection. that it is not levied on a fair basis and that really the brine should not be considered part of the fish.
