The Wooden Goods Trade.

Boston, Sept. 15.-The Commercial
Bulletin, basing its report on statis-
tics gathered for the government,
says: There is continued activity in
worsted and clothing woods, although
Individual transactions are not of par
t~icularly large volume. The larger
mills are not operating to any extent,
and many opinions in relation to their
inactivity are being advanced. Some
merchants say that the opening of the
ball by the American Wooden Co. is
being awaited, while others claim that
buyers are hanging back until the
course of the coming London auctions
shall have been determined. Dealers
have great faith in the holdings, and
they feel that the general prosperity
of the country will have a sustaining
effect on wool values. The American
Wooden Co. has bought large lines of
territory wool at st. Louis, and their
activity is taken as an indication of
substantial purchases on the local
market shortly.

As Bradstreet's Sees II.

New York, Sept. 15.-Bradstreet's
says: An immense business is doing
in the west and northwest, southern
jobbing trade shows expansion and
inability to get adequate supplies of
many lines of goods is the main sub
ject of complaint at eastern markets.
September, like August, appears to be
scoring heavy gains over the CORE

crop reports confirm previous public
and private advices of very large If
not record yields. but price and traffic
conditions are a bar to free movement.
Car shortages are no longer subjects
of speculation, but are aan accom-

so unequal to the strain. Money is
rather easy, especially at the east,
where large gold imports on special
terms have weakened rates.

RUMOR THAT AN UPRISING At
MONTE CHRISTI Is IMMINENT.
Government Forces Being Concen.
trated to Put Down the Threat
ened Revolution.

Washington, Sept. 19.-Another
revolution in Santo Domingo Is immi-
nent, and the navy department is now
preparing to send 800 marines there to
replace those on the cruiser Dixie,
which were detached from Commander
Southerland's squadron and sent to
Cuba.
Commander Switzerland cabled the
secretary Of the navy thai the situa-
ton at Monte Christi is grave and
that an uprising may take place there
at any moment. He notified the de-
partment that, under -hese conditions,
it is inadvisable to withdraw any Of
the naval vessels on duty there.
He also requests n secretary of
the navy to return the Dixie with 800
marines now at Cienfuegos, Cuba,
protecting American property. The
cable between Puerto Plata and Monte
Christi has been severed. Command
er Switzerland notified the secretary
OF the navy that the first installment
of 400 men of the Santo Dominican
government troops would reach Monte
Christi Wednesday, to be used in put
ting down the revolution.
Secretary ~Bonaparte stated that the
Dixie would not be withdrawn from
Cienfuegos until another warship ar
rives there to relieve it.

BRYAN IN
He and Henry Watterson Walk Arm
in Arm Down Crowded Hall.

Louisville, KY, Sept. 13.-At his
speech in Louisville, William Jennings
Bryan made a more explicit statement
as to his position on railroad owner
ship. He doubtless deemed this nee
essary, as his speech at New York
aroused more opposition in this sec
ton of the country that elsewhere, it
is stated. He read a lengthy, care
fully-prepared statement of his posi-
iton, and declared the making of
plat IS rested with the voters of
the whole party, ana l never have and
never will try to force my opinion. or
any few mems, on the people" While
making this statement Mr.. Bryan init
mated, plainly, that nothing has as yet
occurred to shake his faith in the ulti-
mate necessity for railroad control by
the government.
Mr.. Bryan received a warm welcome
and addressed a crowd of 1000 en-
thusiastic people. He was welcomed
to Kentucky in an address delivered
by his former political party oppOnent,
Henry Watterson. The other peaK-
ers preceding Mr.. Bryan we're Sena-
tor Cormac of Tennessee, and Sen
ator w. j. Stone, of Missouri. Mr.
Bryan entered the room leaning ON
the arm of Mr.. WattersOn. There
was a demonstration that las:ei trn

Il recognize our chieftain in the ap-
preaching conflict, Mr.. William Jen-
nings Bryan, of Nebraska. 1t costs

preference, or pride of opinion, to
make this declaration. MI. Bryan and

NO TROUBLE IN MEXICO.
independence Day Celebrated by the
Mexicans and Americans.

Mexico City, Sept. 1.-THE national
holiday in celebration of the anniver-
starry of the independence of Mexico
was observed in a most enthusiastic
manner here.
The decorations were on a more
elaborate scale than heretofore, and
large crowds were congregated in the
parks to listen to the band concerts,
and those who participated in the
grand parade numbered several thou
sands. The parade was three hours
in passing a given point, where it was
reviewed by President Diaz, Vice-Pres-
ident Corrals, members of the cham
Der of deputies, the diplomatic corps
and prominent citizens.
Reports from all points throughout
the country, including the cities of
Saltillo, San Luis Potosi, Tampico,
Torreon and hundreds of other towns,
show that not the slightest disturbance
marred the celebration.

HOW GEN. TREPOFF DIED
HARSH TREATMENT FROM THOSE
ME SERVED FOR YEARS,
The Tool of Russian Despotism Dies
From Cramp of the Heart After
Receiving His Death Sentence.

Vienna, Sept. 1S.-Acording to in
formation received by the Neues
Weiner Tagblatt, from a distinguished
Russian authority" Gen. Thepoff, at
the council at Peterhof, August 16, re-
marked. I'VE have made a fearful
mistake in not having formed a cab
met representative of society" EN-
peror Nicholas, indigna1e at the OBJ
servatiOn, avoided Gen. Terpoff hence
forth. Later Gen. Trepoff presented
the emperor with a project he had
elaborated respecting the sale of the
crown lands. but the emperor coldly
ordered him to hand it to Grand Duke
Nicholas, his bitterest enemy. The
grand duke, after reading the project,
remarked: 1T is extraordinary that
you have now became a liberal after
the attempt to poi on you. You are a
liberal from fear of revolution, not
from conviction"
Gen. Trepoff took this treatment to
heart, coming from the hands of those
to whom he had devoted his entire
life, and passed his last days in the
closest retirement, suffering intensely
from depression. Early on the morn
ing of September 13, Gen. Trepoff
found on his writing table a document
which he knew, as he unfolded it, was
a death sentence from the revolution
airy committee. Greatly agitated, he
was seized with a cramp of the heart,
and it was a recurrence of this that
caused his death.

Havana, Sept. 1S.-Gen. Castillo, the
commander of the insurgents in Ha-
vana province, has sen the following
letter to Mr.. Sleeper, the American
charge d'affaires here:
In view of the letter of the presi-
dent of the United States to the Palma
government, l have the honor to in
form you that We are disposed to sus-
pend hostilities in order to facilitate
peace efforts, provided these are based
on new general elections, with guar
antees Of justice and legality, and on
the resignation Of the present forced
administration, and guarantee that the
peace be lasting. The r~evolutionists
do not intend to permit government by
force. They insist that the people
possess the inviolable right of electing
congress and provincial and municipal
officers. We have no candidates, but
we shall never permit elections manip-
ulated by executive fraud and violence
to stand. If through the mediation of
Mr.. Roosevelt's government, and a fair
construction of the laws, honest cleo
lions ensue, the people who are in
arms will suspend operations as soon
IS you secure a similar disposition on
the part of President Palma. With
other interests respecting the majesty
of the government, we sincerely hope
for a peace which will cement justice
and honesty through the arbitration
of the president of the United States"
