Scharf, sent here to watch the colony of Chinese rr.en, women and children brought to the Atlanta Exposition by Kee Ow Yang and Leon Lan, has sent the secretary of the treasury a preliminary report which is highly sensational.

New York, Oct. 4. Bradstreet's tomor row w1Eli say; Seasonable weather ha stimulated the sales ot merchandise and has Increased the prospects of favorable fait trade generally. Among the less fa vorable features are the moderate de- mant in staples on the Pacific coast, re action in the volume of business at Balti more, and a check to the advance in prices of iron and steel with) a reaction of about tl per ton at the Ohio Valley and Pennsylvania centers. - Vetoes for iron and steel at Eastern cen ters are firm and dealers are said to be about eight months ahead. Mercantile collections are very general-1 ly Improved, more particularly in the South. The tfaWurea nave been 207 In the Unit ed States against 819 fast year, and 41 In Canada against 40 last year. NO CLEMENCY For Louis Stern at the Hands of the Germans. Washington, Oct. 4. News has reached Washington unofficially, confirming the cable reports that the Prince of Bavaria has declined to extend clemency to Louis Stern, of New York, as was requested by our ambassador, Mr. Runyon. The prince is the last resort In such a case, within the UmiU of Bavaria, where Mr. Stern was trlod, and must either serve out bis sentence of two weeks' - imprisonment and a fine of 600 marks, or forfeit his ball, Which has bean fixed In the excessive turn of 20,000 mark. The affair has left a bad impression here for it is betteved that the Germans have seized upon a trifling offense to treat t prominent American cltlxen oppressively, CONSUL HICKSON.

A letter to the Pall Mall Gazette, from Ku Cheng, stales that when the commission, appointed to in quire Into the massacre of the mission aries, arrived at Ku Cheng, the mandarin In command at Ku Cheng, refused to at low the members of the commission to attend the trial of the accused vegeta rians, whereupon Mr. Hlckson, United States consul at Foo Chow, peremptorily demanded In the most vigorous language the right of being present at the trials. He said he did not caro how great a per sonage the mandarin was, he wouGd stir all the powers unless he was admitted, and gave the mandarin four hours In which to make up his mind. Dnrrant's Case is Weakening Every Day. THE VERDICT 13 FOREGONE If the Surprise Sprung- Yesterday by the Defense Is Open to Natural Inference. San Francisco, Oct, 4. If the manner in which the attorneys for the defense in the trial of Theodore Durrant are hand ling their case is any Indication of the strength of their position, the proseeu tlon beHisves that the developments of today leave little doubt of the prisoner's conviction. To the surprise of everybody, the de fense this afternoon began the calling of Witnesses to show the prev'ous good character of the young Sunday school su perintendent. By the prosecution this step Is Interpreted to mean that the de fense has Introduced all of the evidence that it has to refute the testimony piled up by Che people. If this be true, the ver dict of the Jury Is a foregone conclusion. Not only has the defense failed to estab lish an aCibl for Durrant, but It has act ually strengthened the case against the prisoner. . TAIT NOT IN3ANE. Must Stand Trial for His Defalcations. New York, Otft. 4. John R. Talt, who defrauded the Chemical National Bank, of which he was paying teUer, out ot 117,000, was today arraigned before the United States commissioner and released on 13,000 ball: Talt has spent severs, months in the government insane asy lum at Washington on a certtflcite r.f specialists that he was of unsound mind. But a few days ago the asylum authori ties declared that his reason was unim paired so he 'was brought back to stand trial. HEARST GETS THE (RECORDER. Examiner Man to 'Enter the New York Field. .

RAILROAD TALK Mr. Barlow, the Contractor, Ex presses His Views. CLOSED CONTRACT YESTERDAY Astoria's Future Brig-ht Northern Pacifle Complications Discussed. Northern Paclflo effadra are attracting the attention of the Western World today as no other subject before the public. Several different courts are taking a band in the deal. The old receivers, Oakes, Rouse and Payne, have resigned In the 'Milwaukee court and were discharged in the Seattle court. Other receivers have been appointed at Milwaukee and St. (Paul and still a different receiver has been appointed In Washington and Ore gon, by the courts at Seattle and Port land, Mr. Andrew T. Burleigh, of Be attle. Great changes In officials are likely to be male In the next few days and the management df the system win be In the hands ot several aeia of officials. Mr. Geo. W. (Dickinson, the former as sistant general superintendent of the en tire system, headquarters at Tacoma, and one of the beat known, most popu lar and most efficient radlway managers hi the West, has been made goneral manager under Receiver Burleigh 1n Washington and Oregon. Yesterday In conversation with an As torlan representative, Mr. J. O. Barlow. who Is here as superintendent on the rail road bridge work lor Contractors Dlckm son and Huson, and who was himself formerty ai -'Northern Pacific engineer said that all of these changes meant a decided victory for Brayton Ives, the president of the company. The Hill con solidation scheme Is now a dead letter. and in hta opinion the jurisdiction or Receiver Burl leg h and Manager Dlckln son wW be extended to the Dakota line, which will place under their charge 65 per cent of the Northern Pacific system and will moan a gradual absorption of the Eastern end ot the road by the great western division. Receiver Burleigh, is now on bis way to Montana where no doubt concurrent orders will be entered appointing hint In that Jurisdiction of the Unrted States courts and In Idaho. Getting down to local matters, Mr. Bar low stated that Astoria was the liveliest business town he had seen 1n many months, and that he found it difficult to even rent a suitable office for his head' quarters, as all df the beat buildings were wen occupied. Astoria's outlook as a great shipping port and business center he considers is bright and that her fondest hope Willi be realized in the near future. Every natural requirement Is here for the establishment of large manufactories and the conduct of a great shipping hualnees. The completion of the Astoria and Goble railroad wllr- unlock all of the treasures of Astoria's future and turn the tide of fortune down the Columbia river. Mr. Bartow yesterday signed his con tract with the construction comnanv and has commenced getting his pile drivers in reaameas and collecting piles for the building of the bridge. It will take ten days to get all In readiness when a large force of tnen will be put to work at once. Work under iMr. Wattls on the grading or mo ten miles is progressing and he soon will have his forces arranged for the winters campaign. BrOBLOWS BOND. Ffled In Milwaukee and Immediately Ac cepted.

The senile men who secured the concession from the state of Taupas, to have the prize Aunt and bull fighting tournament in Neuvo Uaredo, have sent a Mexican gentleman, who Is related to President Diaz, to the caprtcl to secure Immunity from Inter ference. Dean Stuart has arranged to wart tnree days until this gentle nan can secure an audience with the preiiident. Mr. Ivan D. Applegate, while In Ash land recently, talked with some ot the board of control of the ASWland-Klamath FaCis wagon road. They felt that the citizens of this town had been very In different on the subject. Mr. Applegate strongly favors this plan and deems Ash land much the best located town In Rogue Iligbest of aQ in Leavening Power. Latest U. S.

FOR DEEPER WATERWAYS. Channel to the Sea from the Great Lakes. An Eastern paper makes the following report: The deep waterways convention at Cleveland adopted resolutions to the fol lowing' effect: The public welfare de mands the deepest practicable channels between the several' lakes and to the sea board, so as to enable vessels of the meet economical type to pass between the lakes or to forolgn waters without the necessity of transshipment. There dhouCd be a depth of at least twenty-one feet In alii channels, and all terminal struct ures should be built for a navigable depth of twenty-six feet or more. The most liberal provision should be made for the necessary expenses of the Joint commis sion appointed by the United States and Canada, to Investigate and report upon the establishment and maintenance of a deep waterway between the great lakes and the sea. The broadening Of tha chan nels through the connoctlng shallow be tween Lakes Erie and Huron and Lakes Huron and Superior Is urgently demand ed by the Interests of commerce. The use of the waters In the great fresh. ' water seas of the American continent and the ship routes Joining them to the ocean, and the control of their levels, are proper subjects for internationaj reg ulation. The promised eai'ly completion of the St. Lawrence canaHa by the Cana dtam government, wlthi lengthened lockup If possible, will result in a marked ben efllt, and the movement of 'the Staite of New York towards lessening the cost or transportation to tide water by Improv ing the canal. Is noted with) satisfaction by the convention. Ar.1 enterprises de signed to extend marine commerce througli lateral routes tributary to the great 'kike system re to be encouraged. It is highly desirable to establish a per manent International court, as set forth In the organizing convention at Toronto last year. A supplementary resolution urged' upon the government the early erflairgement of St. Mary's River to at least 600 feet, and the Lime Kiln Crossing and the St. Clair Flats Canal to not less than 600 feet. . It win be observed that the restflutlons do not contain any nr.Tuelon to the drain age channel, other than the general' one In regard to the control of lake levels being a proper subject Tor International regulation. The Chicago men on the committee asked that nothing be raid about it, and the request was acceded to. Also there was as 1'lttle recognition as possible of special features of improve ment Which had not been agreed upon a year ago as advisable, and the committed steered wide if not clear of the vexed question whether it would be best to im prove the Erie canal at a cost of about nine mlVMon dollars or work for a ship canal costing more than a hundred mil lions across the state of New York. But the proposition to construct a trig canal through United States soli to connect Lakes Erie and Ontario seemed to bS favorably regarded by many of the mem bers, and Engineer LVndenthal was listen ed to attentively while he advocated Its construction on a plan whfch would not have been practicable a few years ago. He said the use of iron enables people to build large locks, and Uft-locks made canals possible where In former times they would have been Impossible. They now can be built large enough for the biggest ships floating on the lakes. AMONG THE SCHOOLS. LUorary Exercises the Order of the Day.
