The business outlook continues complex and opinions vary widely as to prospects, There is a brisk de- mand for iron products end for cot ton goods, says Banker CleYs. Both are going actively into consumption and such products are in many in stances sold well ahead into 1908. In other directions reports are not so favorable and manufacturers are looking ahead with more or less con- servatism, the high costs of con- modities and labor not only check ing demand but making extensive future operations more or less haz- ardous. Our railroads are already feeling quite seriously the increased costs of operation. Net earnings frequently show important declines ia :pite of heavy gains in gross. and railroad managers are beginning to introduce various economies; to shut down on the unnecessary improve ments, and to reduce operating forces as far as possible, Such move ments are not at all general, but they are multiplying and are signifi- cant indications of business reac- tion, whicn is now regarded as much more probable than six months ago. In this connection the attitude of labor is important, since the advance in wages is one of the most llnpor- t.,lt causes :sr generally high costs. la all proi ability the advance wage movement has reached its zenith, and the tin e is not very distant when either coLcsssiors will have to be made or business curtailed, throw ins more or less hands out of em- ployI1ent.

A NEW SIGNAL
Government Installing New Electric Submarine Invention.

Washington, D. C., May 27.-0ne of the most remarkable inventions in the manner of signalling to navigators is being installed by the government at various points on the Atlantic coast and in the Great Lakes. It is an electric submarine signal on which the inventors and the government have been conducting, for several years, an exhaustive series of cxperi- ments. It has been perfected so far that it now will be, ill operation, such a means of protection to narigators as scarcely dreamed of few years ago.
 The attention of the government light house board was called to the de- vice several years ago and since that time the board has been experimenting with it, together with the inventors, with the idea of making it thoroughly been successful. The latest experi- ments were conducted under the aus picies of the government on the New England coast. They have just been completed. In view Of the re- suits obtained, the light house board has contracted for the installation Of eleven. of the signals and more will be added to that number as appropria- tions for them become available.
 The device is essentially one to pre- vent vessels from running on to a reef or a dangerous coast in q fog. The signal warns the navigator of the. vessel of the proximity of the danger and, by the direction from which he receives the signal, he knows precisely the location of the d0nger- ous point. So delicately Is the signal adjusted, in fact, that the navigator can determine within a mile his ves- seI's relation to the danger.
 The signal Is q bell, weighing sew eral hundred pounds, mounted on a tripod and located under water at a depth of anywhere from ten or twelve feet to 100 feet. At first the clapper of the bell was operated by steam power from a light ship of a light house practically immediately over the location of the bell. but now 1t is operated by electricity from the shore which may be several miles distant. Powerful magnates are the actuating power of the clapper. In the latest experiments, the bell was put into operation on March % last and the trial was continued until a few days ago. The bell sounded. during that period. an average of = strokes min ute and, in the month and a balf of the test the apparatus required no repairs.
 The toIIing of the bell is conveyed through the water a distance of six miles or more to a vessel equipped with the necessary receiving appara- tus. This receiver Is precisely Ike a telephone receiver. one of them ise- ing on theport side of the vessel and the other on the starbozrd side. 4 navigator sitting in his cabin can de termine accurately the location 5f the beII signal through his receivers and tbus be able to avoid the danger nat is imminent Any ship equipped with the receiving apparatus can '-pick up- the bell signals

There seems to be quite a boom growing for Governor Johnson of Minnesota for the democratic nomi- nation for president in consequence of the article published in the Com moner of May IT, which states that Governor Johnson can carry Minne- sota at the primaries and at the na- tional election. This would seem to indicate that MT Bryan has not yet decided to be a candidate and, like other democrats, is ready to select whoever can best unite the party, provided Le comes up to the demo- cratic requirements of ability and honesty of purpose.

TARIFF WAR.
France Increasing Duties Upon American Imports.

France Increasing Duties Upon
 American Imports.
 Washington, May 2T.--whilc our standpatter republican friends are en- toying the usufruct of their alliance with the tariff protected trusts. the tariff war with other countries Is cer- tainly and gradually undermining our foreign commerce. The state depart- ment officials point out that our rela- tions with France on tho tariff ques- tion are in a very unsatisfactory con dition and nothing can be done to mend them until congress acts. Mean- time the officials say there is good req son for believing that France has de cided steadily to increase the duties upon American imports to such an ex- tent that in many instances they are likely to be prohibitive." As the re- publican majority in the house of re presentatives is opposed to tarIff re- form and the senate has refused to ratify the treaties for reciprocity with other nations, the prospect of the com ing congress enacting any law that will reduce the tariff schedules. how- ever high and unreasonable, Is out of the question.
 The temporary arrangement witt Germany will only exist until the next congress has had an opportunity to pass on a reciprocity arrangement with that country. or enact general tariff revision law that will admit iul- ports from Germany on basis that will satisfy that country and thus per init our exports to enter there at the minimum rates.
 If the standpat faction prevails al the next republican national conyen- ton, and that can hardly be doubted as nearly all the leaders are for ''let- ting well enough alone" the present incipient tariff war. will reach an acute stage and the real fight for com mereial supremacy will be veTy ser iOus question

Meanwhile the affairs of the war de- partment, the Panama canal and other government affairs which are under his jurisdiction will be looked after by the u2derstrappers of the department. This administration will become noted as attending more to partisan politics than to the busi- ness the Ceople pay them to attend to. t#

The most striking instance, not only of Edison's persistence, but also of his systematic methods, is seen in
 the accounts of the invention of the incandescent lamp, says a writer m the Engineering Magazine. The fila ment gave him the greatest trouble and. in search for suitable material, he sent hundreds of letters to the United States eonsuls in all parts of the world, requesting samples of bamhJos. reeds and other vegetable flores. and he followed this up by dispatching special explorers to search wild and uneivilized countries where. as Frank McGowan lone of the explorers) said, "a United States consul was usually eaten before he'd had time to open much mail. Be tween 5000 and4 900 samples were collected from this systematic search. and of all these only two or three were found to be of any use. But they were sufficient, and resulted in the fneandescent lamp. Again. in the search for the best material for phonographic records. he sent seven men into India, China. Africa and other parts of the world for new vegetable bases for soaps It took five years to find the right article. but then 1t vas the right one and Is in use to-day.

Six other sta tions soon will be established at dangerous points on the great lakes. As soon as possible. too, several of the signals will be placed on the At lantic coast.
 In addition to the signalling of dangerous points, the bell will be used to signal in code from one snip to another, although the vessels may be many miles apart. It Is moP reliable i than wireless telegraph and very convenient method of making brief exchanges between ships of the same fleet.

How He Got a Warmer Seat

One bitter cold night recently sol
emn-faced man drove up to tavern
near Westchester and made his way tc
the sitting room after seeing that his
horse was taken to the stable. There
was a large crowd of guests huddled
around the stove and he had to take q
distant seat where 1t was not much
warmer than outside. As soon as o
waiter appeared the man said:
Get two dozen oysters on the halt
she'll and take them out to my horse
When the waiter passed through the
room on his way to the stable every,
body but the new guest followed him tC
see the remarkable horse feed on raw
oysters. In a few moments the dis
gusted crowd, headed by the waiter
returned to the room to find the owner
of the horse comfortably seated by the

Oh, that poor dream Of the wife who
should meet him with outstretched
arms She was there, indeed, In that
somber old city, Rennes; but as he
suffered, she, too, was to suffer. II,
among all the personages of this tragic
drama, one was worthy Of all respect,
that one was Lucie Dreyfus. During
five years she had borne her suffering
with noble dignity; her faith had never
wavered she had hidden from her chill
dren all knowledge of the awful TRACE
dy; you had thought there could go out
to her only pity and admiration. All,
you do not know how fierce hatred
burned in France, In those days. Mad

every hotel in Rennes. Not one would
