COMMERCIAL kIvlEW.

r. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review of
Trade" says:
Peace and prosperity succinctly ex-
press the results Of an eventful week.
International mercantile markets re-
sponded to the cessation of hostilities,
and a period of commercial development
confidence. Capital that had been
diverted into bellicose channels will be
used for construction instead of destruc-
ton, and the United States will secure
stronger hold on the markets of the
Orient.
Domestic reports were scarcely less
encouraging Leading branches Of man
ufacture are increasing productive capac-
ity, especially in departments pertaining
to railway equipment; textile mills have
little idle machinery; footwear factories
are running freely, while in structural
work there is no evidence of lessened
activity Visiting buyers still throng the
great jobbing centres and place orders
for distant delivery that testify to faith
in vigorous demand for consumers.
Liabilities of failures in August were
$4,35o,ooo less than last year, and the
latest crop news increases earlier esti-
mates of record-breaking cereal produc-
ton, most of the harvesting and thresh-
ing being completed, but cotton returns
are less satisfactory, many experts re-
ducing their estimates to Io,5ooooo bales
or less"
Bradstreets says:
"Whear, including -four, exports for
the week are I,42o,25o bushels, against
I,I7o,34o last week, I,83o,5II this week

Harvard's President Appreciated.

Some years ago q physician was
summoned in haste to attend patient
at N. On arriving at the island,
and inquiring for a conveyance to the
house he wished to visit, he was d.
rected to farmhouse. Here the doc
tor found man, whom he requested
to harness horse, at the same time,
in the interest OF his patient, desir-
ing him to be lively.
The man pleasantly and promptly
complied, harnezsed the horse, and
was speedily driving over the road at
a good rate. The doctor discussed
farming. and was struck with the gen.
eral information and conversational
powers of the driver On arriving at
the house half q dollar was rendered
the man. but it was politely declined.
What Is the name Of your intelli-
gent farmer?" asked the doctor, after
he had finished his professional visit.
What, the gentleman who brought
you to the house? That was Presi-
dent Eliot OF Harvard"

EARTHQUAKE SHAKES TOWN.
Series Of Shocks Felt Along the coast-Peo.
pie 10 Terror.

Portsmouth, N. H. (SpeciaD "A ser
les of earthquake shocks, the most Sc
we're ever experienced in this section
were felt here. Buildings trembled per.
ceptibly, dishes were shaken from
shelves, and in many cases people rush
ed in terror from their houses into the
street.
There were three distinct shocks, and
in each instance the tremor was accom-
panied by sound like distant explo-
sion. The first impression was that
the powder magazine at the navy yard
had exploded, and hundreds of queries
along this line were received at the yard
There had been no explosion, however,
and the shocks were felt along the en-
tire New Hampshire coast line
The first shock was felt little before
$40 P. NJ, and the other shocks fo,-
lowed soon after. In the business Sec
ton of the city the shoppers and store
employees rushed out into the streets, be-
lieving that the buildings were about
to collapse. Each of the three shocks
continued for several seconds.

Signature Thieves.

It is difficult to get access to the
governments historical documents
and papers in Washington, and they
who do get access to them are always
accompanied, as they make their con.
situations, by guide.
H. Clay Evans said recently that a
big percentage of the governments
documents have been robbed of their
signatures. The signatures, if of
value, have been cut out by thieves.
Hence the precautions that are taken
to-day.
Autograph hunting is thought to be
not very common, and yet so many
hundreds Of the signatures of Wash
ington. Hamilton, Burr, Lincoln, JET
feraon, ETC.. have been stolen from
governmental documents that 1t ap
pears as if every American citizen. On
seeing good autograph, feels that he
has the moral right to lift it.
For five years, though, thanks to
the vigilance that is now maintained,
no autographs have been lifted from
the governments archives.

drank had something to do with it. and

Oyster Bay, L. l., (SpeciaD .-Emper..
Or Nicholas of Russia has recognized
gratefully the great part which Presi-
dent Roosevelt played in the successful
negotiations for peace. In cablegram
received by President Roosevelt Emper-
Or Nicholas congratulated and thanked
he President for his efforts. The cable
gram follows:
Peterhof, Alexandra, Aug. 81.
President Roosevelt:
Accept my congratulations and earnest
hanks for having brought the peace ne
gotiations to a successful conclusion ow-
ing to your personal energetic efforts.
Ny country will gratefully recognize the
great part you have played in the Ports
mouth peace conference.
NICHOLAS.
That the Russian Emperor should
thank President Roosevelt for his ct
forts to insure peace between Russia
and Japan was to have been expected,
but it is particularly significant that in
his cablegram Emperor Nicholas ex-
tended to President Roosevelt his earn
est thanks for having brought the peace
negotiations to a successful conclusion"
The dispatch is regarded as one OF the
most remarkable of its kind ever sent
by the head of one nation to that of an
other
President Roosevelt received from the
Emperor of Japan, warm thanks for his
"disinterested and unremitting efforts
in the interest of peace and humanity"
The cablegram, which was received
from the Emperor personally, follows:
Toxic, September 8, 1905
The President:
have received with qualification your
message of congratulations conveyed
through our plenipotentiaries and thank
you warmly for it. To your disinterested
and unremittting efforts in the interests
of peace and humanity / attach the high
value which is their due, and assure YOU
of my grateful appreciation of the dis
tinguished part you have taken in the
establishment of peace based upon prin-
ciples essential to the permanent welfare
and tranquility of the Far East
(Signed) MUTSUHITO.
Congratulatory messages by the score
yet are pouring in upon the President.
The executive Office force is completely
swamped, and it will be many days be-
fore acknowledgement of the receipt of all
messages can be sent out. 1t will be
impossible for President Roosevelt him
self to respond to the fluctuations of his
friends everywhere, but in the course of
time the sender of each message will re-
ceive response.
FROM FRANCIS JOSEPH.
Among the messages received was one
from the Emperor of Austria-Hungary.
1t was notably cordial. The text was as
follows:
Ischi, August 81.
To the President of the United States
of America:
On the occasion of the peace just con-
cludcd l wish, Mr.. President, to send
you my friendliest fluctuations on the
result of your intervention. May the
world be blessed with many years con-
tinuance of peace undisturbed.
