DIE IN NAVIGATING LAKES.
Seasons Total Much Smaller than In
1905, but Above Average.

1905, but Above Average.
One hundred and twenty-six lives were
lost in navigating the great lakes during
the season just closing. Compared with
the sacrifice of 215 lives in 1900, the sea-
sons death list appears small, and yet
with only two exceptions it was the iarg-
est in the decade. In 1905 there was
only one gale to have a place in the an
nails of great lake perils. That was the
gale of Oct. 81, when the passenger
steamer j. III. Jones went down IN
Georgian bay without a single survivor
among the thirty persons on board. Inc
steamer Pesolute foundered, with a loss
of six lives, on Lake Ontario. Other
smaller disasters brought the loss for tnat
storm to forty-four, or more than
third of the seasons total. During the
year thirty-six people were lost over
board, fifteen fell into the holds o. vessels
and were killed, eleven met their death
by machinery accidents on shipboard, two
committed suicide and three died from
natural causes aboard vessels. FIFTY
two were lost when the ships foundered,
and five were drowned as the result or
collisions. Georgian bay led all the lakes
with thirty-six fatalities. Lake Erie was
next, with twenty-seven; Lake Michigan
had twenty-five, Detroit-St. Clair rivers
SIX, Lake Huron nine, Lake Ontario sew
en-, and the 500 passage two. The Jones
was the first passenger boat to founder
in many years. 1t was a small craft,
but the disaster has emphasized the po-
sition taken by many vesselmen that no
craft which has not the high insurance
rating of Al should have a government
license for carrying passengers.

Holiday trade, now in full swing, at
tracts most attention. Business, which
is Of foremost proportions, bids fair to
eclipse previous records, significant
feature being the demand for high
grade goods. In other respects retail
trade is regular. good in sections fa-
vored by cold weather. but backward
in the Northwest and parts of the
South, where mild weather has restrict
ed demand for heavy wearing apparel.
Car shortage still prevails, and it is
alleged that the railways are diverting
rolling stock from grain to other high
err revenue paying freights. Collections
range ffom fair to good, though the car

CHICAGO.

The underlying conditions generally
lavor sustained strength in commercial
operations, but there is, as expected at
this time, smaller volume of new de-
mands in the leading industries. Pro-
duction and distribution, however,
meet with no interruption. Railroad
earnings are the largest ever known,
bank exchanges steadily gain. Christ
mas lines enjoy unprecedented demand
and, Notwithstanding the strain of dear
money, business defaults remain low.
The most serious obstacle is the
scarcity of freight cars, causing in
ability to secure prompt forwarding at
various Western points, but it is seen
that large additions to rolling stock
are now being made and that railroad
efforts are more effective toward re-
ducing congestion. Crop marketings
have become smaller than expected,
due to bad roads, but there is IN I'M
usually heavy carrying of furnace and
factory products. The pressure upon
iron, steel and rail equipment permits
no diminution in outputs and it is evil
dent that holiday shutdowns will be
cut short
Lake navigation is ended and re-
eeipts of ore are made ample for the
winter. Lumber receipts fall short of
estimated needs and cause apprehen-
sion as to adequate supplies, yard
stocks having become much depleted
and lacking variety for manufacturing
uses. Additional large construction
plans announced consumption of build
ing materials. Bookings are fair for
plates, wire and other finished steel
shapes The wood and leather working
branches have considerable orders in
hand, and outputs run better than a
year ago in heavy hardware, machin-
cry, electric goods, furniture and inn
Elements
Retail dealings are highly stimulated
by the close approach of Christmas
and sales in the seasonable lines show
substantial gains over corresponding
period of last year. Articles of luxury

reflect heavy business going on and

Secretary Taft in his annual report
on the Philippines says conditions show
steady improvement. The Secretary says:
THE government is doing the work there
that it has proposed to do. 1t is main
tanning peace and order with firm hand !;
it is teaching the people by practical ex-
perience lessons in self-government, and
it is giving them an opportunity by the
raising of crops, the proceeds OF when
they may with certainty take to them
selves as their own, the means of making
the Islands prosperous. The capture or
surrender of eight or ten of the leaders
Of the ladrone bands in the island of Lu-
zon, comprising all but one of those who
have Vexed the peaceful inhabitants of the
Iagalog provinces, has brought about
better condition than ever before existed
in the islands" The impetus given to
agriculture and the growing demand for
farm implements are declared hopeful
signs. The balance of trade in favor of
the island is about S6,000,000. The
finances also are in good condition, the
gold surplus being mere than $1,5OO,OOo.
The controversies between the Roman
Catholic church and the so-called Philip
pine Catholic church, led by Aglipay,
have been transferred to the courts,
where they are reaching a settlement.

Secretary of War Taft Warns the
Islands Inhabitants.
Secretary Taft Monday made public
a report on Cuba. Summing up the pur-
poses of the mission to Cuba of himself
and Assistant Secretary of State Bacon
and what was done, Secretary Taft says:
1--WE went to Cuba for the purpose of
securing peace; when we went we knew
the island was divided between two hos
tile and armed forces. and we desired to
avoid a conflict between them for the rea
son that it would cause loss of life TO the
Cubans and a great destruction of prop
erty. a large part of which belonged to
American citizens, and it would neces-
sarily require the Intervention of Ameri-
can troops and the expenditure of Amer
lean lives and treasure. If this insurrec-
tionary habit persists, if again the Gu
bans divide into armed forces, the strong
hand of our government will have to be
imposed at whatever cost of life and prop
erty, and permanent peace should then
certainly ensue, because it should be of
our own keeping.
I'VE hope, however, that no such dras-
tic remedy will be needed and that the
lesson taught in this recent experience of
the evil of unjust methods in elections
will not be without its warning to future
governments in Cuba"
