INDUSTRIES
MORE ACTIVE
Less Idle Machinery Throughout
the Country And More Goods
Sold Than for Some Time.
MEN ARE RETURNING TO WORK

New York, June Improvement
continues in commercial channels, in
creased manufacturing activity and
seasonable weather being the dominant
influences of the past week, says r. G,
Dunn & Co.'s review Of trade. In all
leading industries there is less idle
machinery, and staple lines Of mer-
chandlse at retail quickly respond to
the larger payrolls. Summer goods
sold more freely as the temperature
rose, and retail trade has had the fur
ther stimulus of many bargain sales to
reduce stocks. Mercantile collections
are also more prompt, and confidence
grows stronger as the crops advance
toward maturity with no more serious
handicap than excessive moisture in
some sections. While the first week
in June compares fayorably with any
previous week this year, there still ap-
pears a large decrease In comparison
with the volume Of business in the
same week Of 1907. Railroad earnings
in May were 21.6 per cent less than
last year, and liabilities Of commercial
failures $8,677, ,971 larger, but the de-
faulted Indebtedness was much smaller
than in any previous month this year.
Foreign commerce at this port alone
for the latest week showed q gain of
$5,674,302 In exports and a loss of
$529, ,207 in imports as compared with
the movements a year ago. Securities
advanced sharply early in the week,
but most of the gain was subsequently
lost, although money continued easy
and the outgo of gold was checked.
Bank exchanges at New York for five
days were 17.5 per cent less than in
the full week last year, while at other
leading cities the decrease amounted
to 25.S per cent.

Police Investigating Life of Dreyfus
Assailant.-Pope Attacks Major.

Paris, June 6.The police are 1nves-

Louis Anthehne Gregori, the man who
attempted to kill Major Dreyfus in
the Pantheon at the bier Of Emile Zola
Gregori's sister declares that he has

possible accomplices.

Major Dreyfus was only the individual

SEESNO YELLOW Peril"
Sir Robert Hart Says Chinese VIII
Not Cause Trouble.

London, June 6.-The Daily Mails
correspondent at Genoa telegraphs att
interview he had with Sir Robert Hart,
director general of Chinese customs,
who arrived there on board the Ger
man liner Yorck en- route for England.
Sir Robert said he had not had good
nights sleep since November. Fearing
a physical and mental breakdown, he
had decided to take a rest and consult
a physician. Sir Robert said he want
ed a two years leave Of absence, but
could only obtain one year.
Concerning China's future, Sir Rob-
ert said he was a great believer in the
Chinese. Once they were organized
after the European plan, he declared,
they certainly were destined to become
a powerful nation, but with such an
immense mass the work must go slow
ly, and by the time they are organized
along modern lines, even IL they are
aggressive, which they are not they
will know how to temper their
strength with wisdom.
AS to the "yellow peril" Sir Robert
said he thought that, though the Chi
nese are likely to become formidable
competitors in Industrial and trading
matters, they will not cause the world
any special trouble. Broadly speaking,
he said, the Chinese view is that mill
tary development is retrogressive and
not progressive. At the same time they
will be strong enough to hold their
own against all comers.
The Daily Mail in an editorial re-
CARDS the interview as an important
change Of opinion on the part of Sir
Robert Hart, who, it says, eight years
ago predicted gigantic development
Of "Boxerism" which nothing could
prevent but the partition of China or a
miraculous spread of Christianity.

EIGHT DIE IN
TROLLEY CRASH
Powerful Cars Meet In Head on
Collision Near Annapolis, Md.
Twelve Injured.
FIXING BLAME FOR ACCIDENT

Annapolis, Md, June 6. = Whirling
toward each other on single track
after some mistake In schedules had
been made, two powerful cars Of the
Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis
Electric railroad crashed together, and
in few seconds eight persons lay
dead and about twelve were injured.
The tragedy was accentuated by two
pathetic circumstances. William r.
Slaughter, general manager Of the
road, was on one car, with his three
year-old daughter and seven-year-old
son, when the collision occurred. When
Slaughter, slightly injured, arose, with
his boy, the little girl, the idol Of
Slaughter, lay lifeless at his feet amid
the wreckage.
In the front of the car, tumbled upon
one another. lay the bodies of two
men and woman clad in evening at
tire, which they had donned to attend
the commencement ball Of the United
States Naval academy in this city.
One Of the wrecked cars was coming
into Annapolis from Baltimore, and
the other was rushing from here to
that city. Both were big, speedy spe-
cials, which We're supposed to be so
timed that one could be switched to
siding off the single track to let the
other car pass.
Responsibility for the mistake has
not yet been fixed, but there is no
doubt that some one was at fault.
When the cars met at full speed the
platforms crumpled up as IL they were
made Of toothpieks. Men and women
were hurled with tremendous force
against one another and against the
steel sides Of the cars, which were
ripped almost off the vehicles.
