TROUBLE IN SAMOA
German Part of It in an Un
settled State.
MATAAFA FACTION WANTS TO RULE
la Tatnlla. and the Other American.
Islands the Natives Are Peace
able aad Happy.
APIA, Samoa, May 1", via San Francis
co, Jane 1, Slice the German flag was
ho.sua in bamoa, affairs have been In an
unsettled state. The Mataafa faction until
after Caster remained in -or around Apia,
claiming that although they had given
the Kingship to the commissioners In July
last, thej had not by any means erven
up their rights to govern the Islands under
the guarantee given to them by the Ber
lin treaty, which assured the autonomy
of the Samoan group and the right of tne
natives to elect their own King. Mataafa
claimed that the- treaty powers had no
right to hand over the government of
the Islands to any Blngle power, and that
euch a course was not assented to by his
people.
Dr. Self, the newly appointed Governor
of German Samoa, had thus at the very
outset of his career a difficult and trying
position to face. After several interviews.
In which the matters were discussed from
the different points of view, the natives
agreed to return to their homes and there
await further news after the arrival of dis
patches from the German Government.
It Is generally understood the Governor
conceded the right of tne majority of the
natives to be the party who should Da
consulted later in the formation of the
native administration and be entitled to
appointments thereunder. The Mataara
party claims that "the spoils belong to the
victors."
At first it looked as if the natives were
certain to give trouble, but from their
late behavior It look? as If the whole of
their opposition would be In words and not
deeds.
The money agreed by the powers to be
paid to the natives for the rifles surren
dered to the commissioners, amounting to
$42,000, has been for stne time on hand
in Apia, but for some unexplained reason
none of it has been as yet distributed
among the natives. Taxes and duties are
the same as formerly, and Apia Is the only
port of entry.
In Tutuila the American representative,
in the person of Commander Tilley, of the
United States steamer Aberenda, has had
a much more agreeable and pleasant ex
perlence than Dr. Solf. There the natives
hailed with enthusiasm the hoisting of
"Old Glory." At Manua, the Island lying
east of Tutuila, the chiefs have request
ed Commander Tilley to visit the islands
In person and there hoist tne flag. This he
consented to do, and the date fixed for
tho function was May 17, but at the time
of writing there is no news from that
place.
Customs regulations have been promul
gated by the Commander. The only port
of entry In Tutuila is Pango-Pango. The
duties are the same as formerly collected
under the Berlin treaty, with the one ex
ception that the export duty on copra
has been abolished. Lands are not to bo
alienated by the natives, although lands
may be leased for a period not exceeding
40 years with the approval of the com
mander. The natives will be governed In
districts. There are three districts, each
under a chief. Under the chiefs are the
Judges and village magistrates, and an
appeal lies from all to the Commandant.
The Importation of arms and ammunition
Is strictly prohibited. In the forming and
promulgation of these laws the Command
ant has bsen aided by B. W. Gurr, one of
the attorneys for Malletoa in the late king,
ship trial. He has been appointed Secre
tary for Native Affairs. As the whole of
Tutuila was formerly on the side of Malle
toa, there are no factious differences to
reconcile and all Tutuila is now a happy
and contented group of Islands.
READY FOR THE MEET.
Athletes Arc Hnrmonionn and En
tknHlntIc for Today's "Worlc.
SALEM. Or.. June L The preliminary
arrangements for the Intercollegiate meet
were completed this evening, at a very
harmonious meeting of the representa
tives of the schools Interested. There was
no unpleasantness over protests, and
everything Indicates that all contests will
be fought out on the field.
All the athletic teams arrived yester
day afternoon and today. Some of the
contegtantSqh&vc been out to the race
track lcqtaifij'cver the ground and prac
ticing eiilHpto become accustomed to
the UaclqWKc excursion train will come
down fromvEugene, Corvallls and Albany
tomorrow, bringing a large crowd of root
ers and others Interested In athletic sports.
Unusual interest is manifested In the
meet, on account of the expected close
ness of the contest.
Leon Kenworthy of Newberg. who Is
manager of the field meet, said today
that the track is the best it has ever been
for ath'etic -contests. It Is hoped that the
Intercollegiate records may be broken In
the hammer-throw, broad Jump and half
. mile run, and that the Northwest records
may be broken In the pole vault and
440-yard dash. The Northwest pole vault
record Li 10 feet 106 Inches, and Is held
by Heater, of Pacific College, who is ex
pected to make 11 feet tomorrow. The 40
yard dash record Is 51 seconds. It is con
ceded that the ?hot-put will be won by
Sanders, of Willamette: the pole vault by
Heater, of Newberg; and the mile walk
by Huffman, of Corvallls. but aElde from
these all contests will be close, and the
results arc uncertain.
Voter on Different Rases.
Eleven County School Superintendents
have filed In the office of the State Su
perintendent their annual reports showing
tho condition and statistics of the schools
of .their respective counties. It Is noted
that the number of legal voters, accord
ing to the school reports. Is much less In
every Instance than the number of voter?
that have registered for the purpose of
voting in the election next Monday. In
one county. Wasco, the school reports
nhows less than half the number of voters
rhown by the registration. The number
of legal voters, as shown by the reports
thus far filed, together with the registra-tion-Ior
the same counties, are as follows:

Thes; differences are accounted for In
two ways: In the first place, the quali
fications of voters at school elections are
different from those of voters at general
elections. Those qualified to vote at
school elections must "have property In
tho district of the value of at least $100,
as shown by the la:C preceding county as
sessment, upon which he r she is re
quired to pay a rax." In districts of less
than 1000 inhabitants, widows and men
over 21 years of age having children of
school age are also entitled to vote. In
the larger cities the property qualifica
tion shuts off a large per cent of the vot-
ers from participating In the school elec
tlon. Even in the countn districts there
aro many young men who own no prop
erty. There are comparatively few women
who gain a vote through the property
qualification. The great difference be
tween the two lists of voters is also ex
plained In part by the fact that in the
country districts no great care Is taken to
enumerate all the voters. This applies
also In a measure to the city districts.

of good weather. A large number of clips
were brought In today, all being small In
quantity. Prices received ranged from IS
to 17 cents. Some of the larger sheepown

Corvallln Team Enthunlastlc.
CORVALLIS, June L Admired and fol
lowed by a big gang of their friends, the
Oregon Agricultural College track team
took the train here today for Salem for
tomorrow's field meet. The boys are In
excellent condition, and are confident that
they will make a showing worthy of their
college.
Lest night, Collega Hill, west of town,
was a scene of wild enthusiasm. Full?
2000 people were out for an athletic rally,
and, amid the firing of cannon, the music
of the cadet band, ringing speeches, and
college yells, all under the light afforded
by a huge bonfire, enthusiasm was worked
up to a high pitch:
IN THE REBELS' HANDS.
Captain Roberta and His Scouts Are
Still Prisoners.
MANILA, June L Captain Roberts, of
the Thirty-fifth Regiment, and his two
missing companions, captured at San Mig
uel de Mayumo, Province of Bulucan,
Island of Luzon, May 20, are still In the
hands of tho rebels, who have communi
cated to the Americans their intention to
treat the prisoners well and In accordance
with the laws of war. Last night Cap
tain Roberts" wife, who was at San Miguel
de Mayumo, received a note announcing
the capture of her husband. The good
treatment of the prisoners continued, and
Captain Roberts believes the rebels will
exchange him and his companions.
The first report of the captureof Cap
tain Roberts and his companions was er
roneous. The Captain, with six ecouts,
was surprised while lunching. Three of tho
party were killed and four were cap
tured, of whom one was wounded. Tho
wounded man was liberated.
Captain Abbott, of the Forty-second
Regiment, recently met 250 Ladrones near
Slnallon. One American was killed and
the Filipinos had eight men killed and
four wounded.
Spanish-Mexican Sympathy.
CITY OF MEXICO. June L El Correo
Espanol, the organ of the Spanish colony
here, says regarding England's policy of
annexing the Boer Republics:
"Poor Boers. The world has applauded
your heroism, but has not moved a fin
ger to prevent the spoliation of which
you are the victims. The 19th century
goes out dishonorably."
Transport Sails for Philippines.
SAN FRANCISCO. June L The United
States transport Sherman sailed for Ma
nila, via Honolulu and Guam today, heav
ily laden with commissary supplies and
carrying a number of passengers and sol
diers and the wives and families of a
number of the officers on duty In the
Philippines.
Otis Still Aboard.
SAN FRANCISCO. June L Major-General
E. S. Otis is still on board the trans
port Meade, at the Angel Island Quaran
tine Station. It Is -not expected that he
will land before Sunday or Monday. He
will probably leave for the East Tuesday
next, as Pullman car accommodations
have been reserved for that date.
SCHOOL BOYS' MESSAGE.
Philadelphia Dispatch Placed In
ICrngrcr's Hands.
PHILADELPHIA. June L The North
American has received the following ca
ble message:
"Pretoria. May 29. In view of the
distress of the dire circumstances, the
message from the echool boys of Phila
delphia to President Kruger, delivered this
day, has the tone of sympathy and sorrow
at the final misfortune which Is about to
wipe the South African Republics from
the roll of Independent nations, rather
than encouragement to a people fighting
for liberty. The flcht has been fought,
and lost The mesfoge was delivered In
the executive chamber at the Capitol,
through the windows of which came the
rumble of ox-carts and general confusion
attendant upon the evacuation of the city
by the families of the Boers. The British
are reported to be approaching. There was
an Imprfeslve silence In the chamber ob
the stern and venerable President of this
doomed republic bent forward to recelvo
from Messenger Jules Franc's Smith the
packet which the boy had traveled 12.033
miles to deliver Into his hands. 'Caesar,
morlturi te salutamus, quoted Secretary
of State Rcltz. as the President accepted
the message. Then he added a bitter ep
igram: 'On this occarion the message Is
reversed: " 'Caesar greeta those about to
die."
"This reference to the United States
and the message of sympathy from Amer
ica to the President of a dying sister re
public profoundly move" every ono pres
ent Tears glistened in the President's
eyes as he took the packet from the mes
senger's hands. In presenting the mes
sage. Smith made a manly little speech.

of hte m'sslon as courier of the school
boys of Philadelphia. Secretary of State
Rcltz translated Smith's simple sentences
as they were Gpoken. Then the book from
the North American containing the nar
rative of the movement that culminated
In the dispatch of the messenger and he
newspaper cllpplnps expressive of the sym
pathy of the people of the United States
with the Boer cause was presented. Pres
ident Kruger'e reply was grave an cour
teous. He tendered hearty thanks to the
Amer'can people, and particularly to the
liberty lads of Philadelphia for their sym
pathy, and charged Smith to return his
greetings to the good people cf America.
Then, with fatherly kindness, he shook
hands with Smith, congratulating him on
completing his long Journey In safety, and
expressing the hope that he would have
an equally safe return to his d'stant home.
The entire group was then photographed."

jHdsmeBt of Justice Matthews Tame
Ending; of the Boer "War Al
leged. Secret Understanding:.
LONDON. June L It Is the Judgment
of Justice Matthews, In the Queen's Bench
division of the High Court of Justice,
that Insurance companies will have to
pay their policies on gold requisitioned
by the Transvaal Just prior to the out
break of the war. Two claims, each for
100,000, have been decided In favor of
the plaintiffs, mining companies, the
Judge holding that no state of war ex
isted at the time of the seizure of the
gold.
In reply to an Inquiry, the United States
Consul at Pretoria, has cabled to the
United States Embassy that Lord Ros
lyn was liberated Wednesday, but was
allowed to remain In Pretoria. Lord Cecil
Manners, he adds, was also liberated.
They were both acting as newspaper cor
respondents. A belated dispatch from Kroonstadt
dated May 29, reports that President Kru
ger was very 111, and that the station
master at Kroonstadt said the President
is dead. This, however, was not credited.
A TAME ENDING.
Boer War Closing: With an Anti
Climax. NEW YORK, June L A dispatch to
the Tribune from London saye:
The war Is closing with some
thing like an antl - climax, but
with logical consistency. Johannes
burg has been occupied without a
struggle, and Pretoria either has been or
will be taken without a siege. The last
stage of the march between Bloemfonteln
and Pretoria has been hardly more than
a holiday promenade. and President
Kruger's prediction that the price would
"stagger humanity" has not been fulfilled.

tually been released and the war ends
without the scenes of carnage and de
spairing Dutch valor which have been
anticipated. London was dazed by the
suddenness of the collapse of the Boers
and the quietness and precision with
which General Roberts had worked out his
purpose. -Flags were fluttering from
housetops, but there was no revel of pub
lic rejoicing In the streets. The popular
enthusiasm was smothered by the anti
climax of the tame ending after an eight
months' campaign Ailed with startling sur
prises and dramatic Incidents. Yet there
was something logical In tho coincidence
which brought Ian Hamilton's column
within a few miles within the zone of
Jamesons' surrender when what was like
ly to prove the last battle of the war was
fought Tho campaign, so far as actual
hostilities are concerned, has ended within
gunshot of Jameson's final stand after he
had been beaten back from Krugersdorf.
The story of these closing scenes Is In
complete, and there are missing links In
the official chain. Hamilton's column,
which was supporting French's cavalry
brigades, was confronted on Tuesday with
a Boer force strongly Intrenched among
the kopjes west of Johannesburg. Hamil
ton attacked the position with vigor, al
though it was defended with two heavy
guns and other artillery. The Boers
fought with persistent courage, but the
kopjes were cleared before nightfall. The
Gordons who were nearly cut to pieces at
Magersfonteln. showed how well they
could fight by capturing one position af
ter another, and the City Imperial Vol
unteers, at the opposite end of the line,
displayed equal gallantry. Hamilton's
column, after clearing the hills, advanced
to Florida, on the railway between Jo
hannesburg and Krugersdorf, and halted
there Wednesday night, while French was
on the road to Pretoria, a few miles away.
General Roberts had deferred for 24 hours
his entry into Johannesburg, but the Sev
enth Division was holding the hills north
of the city and a portion of Hamilton's
column was guarding the western ap
proaches. Johannesburg was defenceless,
and the local authorities had arranged
for the British occupation and protection
of the mines. The city had been sur
rendered and General Roberts und Com
mandant Kraus were co-operating to pre
vent an outbreak of violence and the de
struction of valuable property.
The chief breaks In the continuity of this
story were caused by the lack of Infor
mation respecting French's cavalry force
and Pole-Carew's division with the
Guard's Brigade. Both forces were known
to be moving In the direction of Pretoria,
but not so rapidly as Lord Rosslyn's
Imagination had pictured. Pretoria was at
the mercy of the advancing cavalry and
the infantry and arrangements had been
mado for the surrender of the capital and
for the release of the British prisoners,
but there was no official news respecting
these two events at midnight Johannes
burg had been occupied on Thursday, the
British troops under General Roberts hav
ing marched in, and the flag having been
raised over the Gold Reef City. The
occupation of Pretoria is a foregone con
clusion, even If it has not occurred al
ready. There are two theories here re-
spectlng the complete collapse of the
Dutch defense. One was briefly summed
up by a prominent official yesterday In
theee words:
"Kruger has been forced out The peo
ple of Pretoria are unwilling to folio
his fortunes longer, and have taken mea
sures to protect the city against a siege
and devastation. He has gone to Lyden
burg In a final attempt to rally the Boers
in that mountain stronghold, and the bur
ghers are now saving their property and
separating themselves from a lost cause.
Johannesburg has looked after Its Inter
ests In the same way and the Boer Gen
erals are not disposed to sacrifice their
business investments."
The other theory has already been re
ferred to In these dispatches as supported
by members of Parliament and military
men. It assumes that Kruger, Botha.
Kraus and other Boer leaders have en
tered Into secret arrangements with either
Sir Alfred Mllner or Lord Roberts, by
which the march of the British columns
has been expedited and the Boer com
mandos scattered and kept under re
straint with a view to the protection of
property and the prevention of needless
bloodshed. If President Kruger has made
terms of his own it has been the deepest
J same ever played by him. but there arc
members of Parliament who believe that
this has been done and that he has retired
to Lydenburg for the purpose of con
cealing his own arrangements for bring
ing the war to an end and obtaining
guarantees of personal security and Im
munity from Imprisonment.
The Boer powers of resistance have
weakened so unexpectedly and the British
successes have been so rapid and comp.ete
that this theory helps to explain what is
happening In South Africa. Possibly a
more accurate summary of the case would
be the simple statement that from 15.0C0
to 20,003 burghers have found the on-rusa
of an army of 230.C00 British soldiers
irresistible, and have suddenly abandoned
a hopeless undertaking.
FOR BOER REFUGEES..
Colorado Opens Her Arms to the De
feated Bnrghcrs.
CHICAGO, June 1. A special to the
Tribune from Denver says:
Governor Thomas has given his Indorse
ment to a gigantic proposition, having for
its object the bringing of the defeated
Boers to the Valley of the Platte in Colo
rado. Tho Union Pacific Land Company
proposes to give 1,000,000 acres of land,
to be taken up under the Carey land act,
on the Julcsburg and Wyoming divisions.
There Is to be no charge for the gift,
and the company will undertake to trans
port the Boers to Colorado, being repaid on
the Installment plan after the communi
ties are established and prosperous. B. C.
War.tla.nd. agent of the Union Pacific, left
for the East last night, where he will
meet the Boer envoys and explain in de
tail the proposition.
BOERS AND BRYAN.
Dutch Envoys Will Confer With the
A'cbrasknn.
CHICAGO. June 1. A special to tho
Record from Lincoln, Neb., says:
Governor Poynter has received a message
from Washington stating that the Boer
envoys will visit Lincoln on their West
ern trip. As soon as the expected arrival
was made known a citizens' committee
immediately set to work on arrangements
for receiving the envoys. It Is under
stood that the Boers are coming to Lin
coln solely for the purpose of holding a
personal Interview with W. J. Bryan In
regard to Boer national affairs. They
wish to ascertain from Mr. Bryan what
his action would be as regards the nation
al policy toward the burghers should he
be elected President. Mr. Brysyi refuses
to discuss the expected visit and confer
ence. Closinpr Honolulu Consulate.

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEWS
COTTOX BROKERS' FAILURE
SWELLS LIST OF LIABILITIES.
Steady Progress Tovrard a Lottc
Level of Prices for Manufactured
Prodactv-Dank Clearings.
NEW YORK, June 1. R. u. Dun & Co.'s
weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
While returns of failures in May by
branches of business cannot be gien until
next week, it can be stated that not six
months in more than 6lx jeers have shown
as large defaulted liabilities as May wi.l
show, owing to the failure of a firm prin
cipally engaged in cotton brokerage. The
reported liabilities of this one firm exceed
those of all firms falling In every month
but one last year, and In every month
but three In 1S9S. Manufacturing failures
In four weeks of May were only J2,46,543.
and trading failures $4,720,201, while fail
ures In brokerage and "other commercial"'
lines amounted to J13.92S.S22.
The decline In cotton to 9 cents and the
reduction of regular print cioths to o4
cents at Fall River, with outside sales at
3 cenU, indicate that speculation In this
case may have somewhat checked busi
ness and Industry.
The rapid progress of events in Africa,
with prospects that the war wll1 end soon
and the gold supply from that region will
be resumed, has naturally affected busi
ness and security markets on both sides
of the ocean. Needs of foreign borrowing
may be much reduced, and hindrance to
foreign Investments here In large measure
removed. But the demands upon Ameri
can machine works and other supplies are
likely to be materially Increased whenever
the restoration of Industries In South Af
rica begins.
The most conspicuous feature of domes
tic news Is the steady progress toward a
lower level of prices for the chief ma
terials of Industry. Without excitement
and with very, small sales, It Is believed
the smallest ever recorded In May at the
three chief Eastern markets except In
1S93, prices of wool have declined so that
the 100 quotations In Coates Bros, circular
would average about 21.84 cents, against
24.72 at the highest point February 1, and
1S.16 a year ago. The stagnant and hesi
tating condition of the goods market,
though not extending to the most favor
able staples, which were largely sold early
In the season, has caused much Irregular
ity In prices of goods of other grades, so
that some have been cleared out by con
cessions of 15 to 20 per cent from the early
quotations of the season.
There is also more complaint of can
cellations, and on this occasion in cotton
as well as woolen goods. With prices ad
Justed to a lower range, all textile
branches might expect greater activity.
The change In hides has made marked
progress also, the average at Chicago
declining over 3 per cent for the past
week, and thus far about 17 per cent from
the highest point. Large supplies are men.
tioned In some grades, but the weakness
of the manufacture has been the con
trolling feature.
Orders for boots and shoes have been
reduced much more than shipments, be
cause many works had orders which are
not yet exhausted. The shipments in May
have been smaller than in any other year
since 1S92. They were larger by 17.4 per
cent In 1806, by 22.S per cent In 1SS5, and
by 27.7 per cent last year.
The decline In pig Iron continues; grey
forge reached J18 50 at Pittsburg; No. 1
local coke $22 at Chicago, No. 1 anthracito
and Bessemer $22 at Philadelphia, and Le
high No. 1 $22 here. Only small changes
have appeared during the week In prices
of finished products, but these are toward
lower figures. There are current state
ments that some of the properties Just
taken by the steel sheet company have
been sold back to former owners, and
that properties of the Steel Hoop Com
pany will be divided likewise, but It la
not at all surprising if a few out of so
many combinations result In the disap
pointment of some. Probably a lower quo
tation for Bessemer pis may be accepted
by the association in the Central region,
for the latter half of the year, as the
closing of many works owing to reduced
demand may leave these furnaces without
full employment. The acceptance of two
large contracts frr export, one for $100.XM
by Southern work3, is a good sign.
Failures for the week have been 160 in
the United States, against 145 last year,
and 21 in Canada, against 14 last year.
SPECULATION RESTRICTED.
General Public Takes Xo Real In
terest in the Stoclc Market.
NEW YORK. June 1. Bradstreet's
financial review tomorrow will say:
Speculative dealings have again been of
a restricted kind, and the public appears
to develop no real Interest In the stock
market. The Investment demand for
bonds and dividend-paying stocks contin
ues to be excellent, and It Is apparent that
the floating supply of such securities Is
considerably smaller than In recent years.
The developments of the week have In the
main been of a favorable character. Lon
don has responded to the successful out
come of the war In South Africa, and the
assurance that the gold mines of the
Rand are safe, with an advance. In which
American stocks have, participated to a
certain extent. The buying of our securi
ties for foreign account has not. however,
been on a sufficiently large scale to have
much practical influence upon the tone of
the market here, or upon current quota
tions for speculative shares. Another de.
velopment Is the decline of exchange rates
to a lerel which putsan end to any appre
hension as to shipments of gold.
Early this week It became apparent that
no further withdrawals of specie, either
from. London or Paris, would be made,
and the situation In this respect has
shaped Itself so that the gold outflow Is
over for the season. Money Is becoming
dccld-edly easier In London, and the other
foreign financial centers, open discount at
tho British capital being down to 2 per
cent; a drop of 1 per cent In a month.
The eass of money abroad, with the cheer
ful news from South Africa, seems likely
to result In tho development of a specu
lative movement In London of more than
ordinary proportions, although It must be
admitted that thus far the London stock
market has taken the situation quietly
and does not seem disposed to Indulge in
any overdrawn excitement.
Another circumstance which has had a
considerable Influence upon the temper
of Wall street 13 the accumulating evi
dence that the so-called sugar trade war
Is practically ended, even If there hap been
no formal sttlement among the refining
Interests. It has been pointed out for
some time that the course of the capital

all parties were thoroughly tired of their
losses. It Is certainly remarkable that
the American Sugar Refining Company
and the opposition refineries should within
the last few weeks have advanced prlcea
to a level which seems to afford a fair
profit, and the speculative public not un

BRADSTREET'S REVIEW,
Readjustment of Quotations the
Leading: Features of Trade.
NEW YORK, June L Bradstrcefs will
say tomorrcw:
Readjustments of nrice quotations to
meet the. changed condition of supply and
demand, arc still the leading features of
the general trade. In volume the business
doing Is of a between-season characer.
Improvement In some lines being counter
balanced by Increased dullness in other
branches. That the basic conditions of the
trade are In the main of a favorable na
ture, however. Is proved by the continued
good railroad earnings returns which
come to hand. The fact seems to be that
the volume of business offered the trans
portation Interests of the country con
tinues considerably In excess of a year
ago. Crop reports are relatively most fa
vorable as regards corn and oats. In the
Southwest, wheat crop prospects are still
maintained at a high average. In the
Northwest wheat ha3 been helped by late
rains, but owing to their lato arrival It is
not certain how much benefit was obtained
thereby.
Most prices are lower on Ihe week.
j wheat noting a fractional drop despite un
lavoraoie rencn crop advices, whence an
enormous reduction In jleld Is predicted,
and also rather blue reports from the
Northwest early In th week, mended In
some respects by the rain ment-oned.
Pork products have sympathized with tho
downward tendency of values, aided there
by by increased receipts of hogs. Some
further liquidation has been noted in cot
ton and the price has sunk to 9 cents. In
textiles the situation Is rather depressed,
although some Improvement In re-ordera
for dry goods is note at leading jobbing
centers. Print cloths, have been marked
down by the Fall River committee, but this
is merely a tardy recognition of hitherto
known facts. Manufacturers of woolen
goods are out of the market for raw wool,
and the outlook at present favors the light,
weight woolens upon opening at lower
values. Boots and shos are dull, and a
number of eastern factories are short
of orders.
The hand-to-mouth domestic demand fox
Iron and steel continues, but the number
of small orders received is taken to indi
cate that consumers are practically bare
of stocks, and any general shut-down for
a month's time, much as It Is proposed,
might lead to a scramble for supplies.
Export business continues good, though
limited by the scarcity of freight room.
Southern pig and steel rails note most
Inquiry. The situation In the pipe market
Is no better, and plates are weaker. Con
cessions of fractions of a dollar are ap
parently easily obtained for pig Iron, but
throughout the trade the feeling Is rather
more cheerful, the feeling being that lower
prices will on the one hand encourage con
sumptive demands, and, on the other hand,
tend to restrict production by less eco
nomical plants. The settlement of th
wage situation this year might also be a
possible source of restriction of produc
tion. Wrheat, Including flour, shipments for the
week aggregate 4,533,140 bushels, against
3.6SS.96S bushels last week, 3,596.053 busheli
In the corresponding week of 1899, and
5,247,0S5 In 1S9S. Since July 1, this season,
the exports of wheat aggregate 1S2.916.5W
bushels, against 217,005,374 bushels last
year, and 216,145,0o5 bushels In 1S37-9S.
Business failures for the week in the
United States number 133. a3 compared
with 167 lust week, 129 In this week a
year ago, and 178 in 1838.
Business failures in the Dominion of
Canada for the week number 21. as com
pared with 17 last week. 18 In this week a
year ago, and 21 In lSS.

M'COY AND A BIG MINER
IT TOOK A HARD FIGHT TO PUT
BONNER OUT.
Pennsylvania Lasted Thirtcea

Baseball Scores.
NEW YORK. June 1. Kid McCoy added
another to his long list of victories at
the Broadway Athletic Club tonight by
defeating Jack Bonner, of Summit, Pa.,
in the 13th round of what was to have
been a 25-round bout, at 158 pounds. It
took all of McCoy's cleverness and hard
hitting capabilities to bring the big miner
down. It was a fast and clever boxing
exhibition. In which both men did some
good work.
Bonner began rushing In the opening
round, and up to the ninth put up a strong,
aggressive fight. In the seventh he- sent
McCoy to the floor with a straight left
and a right swing on the face. McCoy
was up In an Instant. In the following
-ound he sailed Into the btg Pennsylvan
lan, putting rights and lefts to the face
end the body, cutting the skin In sev
eral places, and the bell found Bonner in
a. groggy condition.
At the end of the 10th round Bonner
was almost out. and throughout the 11th
and 12th rounds he was In a. dazed con
dltlon. Eonner rushed In the 13th des
perately, landing h'e left on the chest.
McCoy landed h!s left on the eye and his
right on the bedy. Bonner tried to get
back In the most plucky manner, but Mc
Coy was all over him, and after a right
on the body from the Kid. Bonner .slipped
to his kneps, and, as he was unable to
go on, tho Penrcylvanlan's seconds threw
up the sponge.

Criticism Run Into the Ground.
New York Times.
Criticism of such wide departures from
the path of justice as the Imposition of
duties upon the commerce between the
United States and Porto Rico, In viola
tion of "our plain duty." and of such
scandalous crimes as the embezzlements
of Ncely, and of the looseness and par
tisan spollsmongerlng that Is responsi
ble for Neely, cannot be too severe. But
the nagging criticism of the Administra
tion's work at every stage and the con
tinued total misrepresentation of its pur
poses and its acts pertain neither to the
function of legitimate opposition nor to
the privilege of decent political activity.
Tho campaign of the antl-lmperlalists la
as futile on It Is unfair. The American
people cannot be made to take any effect
ive Interest in a cause that Invites their
support by denouncing abuses that never
existed. Imputing motives that nobody
harbors, and assailing policies for which
no reasonable substitute Is presented.
There is no convincing virtue In the anti
imperiallstc cause, and a parade of names
can never make up for that fatal defect.
