pUNs WEEKLY SUMMARY
Business Outlook Constantly I'm.
proving and the Situation Is
Most Promisinu


r. G. Dua's & Co.'S weekly review
of trade says:
Activity broadens in commercial
channels and confidence expands be
cause of the many evidences of con
servatlsm Business Is brisk and i'm.
proving, although there is no disposi.
tioI to start boom either In com.
modities or securities. Manufac
turers receive liberal orders for re.
mote deliveries, many dealers having
covered spring requirements, and
shipping departments are forwarding
as freely as traffic facilities will per
nit Current retail trade Is not
eQualling expectations, but this Is at
tributed to mild autumn weather, and
preparations for the future are un-
diminished Especially good news Is
received from the iron and steel cent
ers, output of mills and furnaces in
creasing without relieving the press
ure for quick delivery, particularly in
structural and railway departments,
Wages were voluntarily increased
at print cloth mills, and scarcely any
labor disputes are noted. Much com
plant is heard regarding freight
blockades, several contracts being
accepted subject to delay In transit,
which is seriously retarding grain eX
ports. Nevertheless, railway earnings
for October thus far show a gain Of
only 1.G per cent. compared with last
years figures. This should be quail
fed by the statement that prelimi
nary reports are chiefly from the
southwest, where quarantine condi-
tions and the tardy movement of cot
ton make an unfair comparison with
last years figures, which were swell
ed by unprecedented shipments of
cotton Statistics of foreign trade for
the United States eclipsed all Sep
tember records last month, which
was particularly gratifying In view
of the fact that loss OF over SILL
100000 in exports of cotton had to be
made up elsewhere. Another splen-
did exhibit Is assured for October
Evidence of conservatism are more
numerous in the primary markets for
textile fabrics, although there is no
weakness in quotations, but rather
more indications of inherent strength.

sion and Servants.

UNREST SWEEPS OVER RUSSIA
Strike at Moscow Spreading Through
the Empire.

The strike at Moscow has given an
impetus to the new wave of strikes
and disorders which is sweeping over
the country and which promises a re-
petition of the period OF stress that
prevailed in January and February
last. Besides the tumult in st.
Petersburg and Moscow, strikes and
disorders are reported from Saratoff,
Kieff Kazan, Kharoff and other cities,
while the strike movement has again
broken out in Warsaw. Dispatches
from Ekaterinodar. Kuban and Tinis
report troubles in the Caucasus,
which, have no connection with the
Russian movement.
A large part of the working popu-
lation seems to he inspired by spir-
it of unrest. The movement is large
ly political ami Is engineered by the
social democratic and social revolu-
tionary parties.

UNION FINALLY DISSOLVED
Passed Measures Repeating
Treaty.

The union between Norway and
Sweden existing since 1914, has been
dissolved, both houses of the Riksdag
having passed the government bill re-
pealing the act of union and recogniz-
ing Norway "as State separate
from the union with Sweden.
The Lower House adopted the bill
without debate, but two or three
members of the Senate expressed the
opinion that the dissolution was an
irreparabe misfortune, and that the
time would come when Norway
would perceive the benefits of the ul-
ion.
Both Houses subsequently passed
the new flag law. The flag will be
a yellow cross on a blue ground, the
same. as existed prior to 1914. the
union mark now showing in the up
per left corner being eliminated.

CHANGES CIVIL SERVICE RULES
President Roosevelt Makes Sweepinu
Amendment TO Regulations.

An amendment to the civil service
rules, sweeping and comprehensive in
its character, was authorized by
President Roosevelt. Hereafter. a
cabinet officer will have the power to
remove summarily and without hear
ing any civil service employe in his
department who, to the personal
knowledge of the head of the depart
ment, has been guilty of misconduct,
or who is inefficient in the perform
ance Of his duties. BY the terms of
the amendment the cabinet officer
must have persona! knowledge of the
misconduct or inefficiency of the EN-.
ploye whom he proposes to dis
charge. With this personal knowl-
edge, the power of the head Of the
department is absolute.
Heretofore, in every case of the re.
moval of a civil service employe.
charges had to be filed against the
person whom it was proposed to re-
move, and the employe was given
time in which TO meet the charges
with such defense as he might have
to make. Under the authorized
amendment, such proceeding will
not be necessary. A head of a de-
partment may discharge an employe
for misconduct or ineficiency, with
the simple statement to the civil ser
vice commission that the misconduct
or inelficiency is a subject of his per.
sonal observation. The discharged
employe will have no recourse.

ply pipe, eight inches in diameter,
that conveys the natural gas from
Warren county to Erie. A small leak
let the gas escape and communicate
