Gus, announced last night that the

year" The fact that the show is now
too big to give street professions. the
knowledge that the limit of ears rail

reached and the time required to place

such articles had been accounted for
after the burial.
The coffin is shaped like Il mummy
coffin. which collins were COMMON at
that period. Widening from the feet to
the shoulders with Il round top fitting
over tile head.
The coffin was taken TO the Medical
school, where Drs. Captain and papll-
laut, distinguished professors of the
School of A~nthropology and recognized
authorities o. such Investigations,
were charged with making "a thorough
examination for the purpose of iden-
titication. To facilitate this the am
baSSador furnished them with portraits
and medailions, two bustS by Houdin
and authentic descriptions of the color
of the adnlirafS hair and the height
and measurement of his body. After
the most minute examination the fol.
lowing facts were fully substantiatcd:
Length Of body. five feet seven
inches, the admiralS exact height. The
size and shape of the head agree with
several peculiaritieS identical with the
head of the admiral. Hair. dark brown,
the same as the admiral's; in places
slightly gray, Indicating a person of
his age, forty-five years. The hair is
long, reaching below the shoulders,
and is combed back and gathered in a
clasp at the back of the neck. The face
is clean shaved. all corresponding eX-
actly with the descriptions. portraits
and busts of the admiral. The linen
is in good condition. IN article bears
an initial, either u" or an invert-
ed "P."
The body vas carefully packed. The
limbs We're wrapped in tinfoil. pre-
sumably for sea transportation. as in
dictated in a letter of the admiral's
nearest friend and "A %pallbearer ut his
funeral. Colonel Blackden. who said:
His body was put in IL leaden coffin.
so that in case the United States.
..Isshich he had so faithfully served.
should" claim his remains they might
be more easily removed"
Finding that all the internal organs

doctors made an autopsy. which show
ed distinct proofs of the disease from
which the admiral is known to have
died. The Identification was pronounc-
ed complete in every particular.
The remains of John Paul Jones are
to be taken to Washington and inferred
in the National cemetery ut Arlington,
and the transfer will be made the oc-
casion of an interesting demonstration.
Mr.. Moody, former secretary of the
navy, made an official announcement
that if the body was found the gov
eminent would send IA battleship to
France to convey it to this country. In
case it is decided TO send an American
squadron to European waters this sum
mel the body may be brought home on
the flagship of the squadron.

TRADE CONDITIONS.
r.. g. Dun & Co.'s weekly Report OF
Bmslness OufIook.

Business Outlook.
NEW YORK, April 15.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade saws.
Good news still predominates in trade
and industry. Easter business is OF
large volume, dry goods. clothing. foot.
and all lines of wearing apparel
reporting an unusually good demand
and shipping departments are taxed TO
their full capacity in many cases. The
country as a whole is experiencing
more settled weather, which is reflect
ed in a better retail distribution of
merchandise. Jobbing trade in goods
for fall delivery is broadening and
there is more inclination to prepare for
the future.
Manufacturers report less idle ma
chinery, the iron and steel industry
leading with an unprecedented output
of pig iron, yet consumption is also
above all records, for there is 10 ac-
emulation at the furnaces. Textile
mills are also well engaged, as a rule,
and fOrwardings of footwear from Bos-
ton make favorable comparisons with
every year except 1900.
Wheat was somewhat depressed by
the official report of a condition 81 per
cent above the ten year average. upon
which the yield of winter wheat was
placed at 49, 1871 900 bushels.
Liabilities of commercial failures
thus far reported for April amounted to
$2.344,409, Of which 81, 106, SS1 We're in
,,, -, O. 4 nnD -.
and S93,500 in other commercial lines.
Failures for the week numbered pa
in the United States against 225 last
year, and 90 in Canada compared with
IS a year ago.

HUNDREDS OF VICTIMS
COLLAPSE OF BIG RESERVOIR AT
MADRID RESULTS IN HEAVY
LOSS OF LIFE.

Madrid, April S.-Four hundred
persons were killed or injured during
the day by The collapse of a new
water reservoir in course of construe-
ton on the outskirts of this city.
Fifty bodies have already been recov-
cred.
A workman who was injured say S
the collapse was so sudden and com
plete that it was impossible to tell
what happened. The men at work
on the reservoir, however, anticipated
trouble, as a fortnight ago three
arches collapsed and cracks devel-
oped in four others.
An exact estimate of the casualties
is still impossible. 1t is stated that
there were 236 men in the lower part
of the reservoir, all of whom were
killed

JAPANESE REINFoRcEMENTs.
Army in the Field viii Shortly Elk
coed One Million Men.

coed One Million Men.
Toxic, April 11.-Japan is meeting
the Russian plan of reorganization
and reinforcement OF its Manchurian
armies with an extensive expedition
from its own military organization.
The details aud figures are carefully
concealed of what seems to be a plan
to double the present army units, but
1t Is reliably estimated that by au.
tumn next the total military organiza-
tion will exceed 100000 men actually
employed In the field. The fighting
force is roughly estimated at 100000
men, with increases largely in the in
fantry and artillery, although an en-
largement in the cavalry branch is
also contemplated
AS result of the manufacture at
the arsenals in Japan, together with
captures and purchases of guns, 1t is
predicted that this year will see a
japanese artillery superior to that of
the Russian In quality as well as nu-
merically and 1t is confidently be-
lieved that the Russians will be in
capable of overcoming these numer-
ical disadvantages. Wherever rail-
way improvements are possible they
