An official of the atate department who is in a position to know stated that the instructions to Minister Willis did not contemplate the use of force, but that ample force would be used as a last resort.

CONDITION OF TRADE.

Business I. Irregular and the Improvement la Blow. NEW YORK, NOV. 18.—R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade saysi "Business Is gaining, but It 1s a oonstant eomplalni that the Improvement Is slow. This Is because very few realise how heavy a load business has to drag after It In climbing up again. Legislative uncertainties weigh heavily, but other loads many overlook. The past depression, wltb trading and manufacturing failures Involving more than K33.000.000 In nine months, besides banking failures of enormous llabllltlee and failures ef railway and other firms, Involve continual embarrassments whlah men are prone to forget. There has been great encouragement during the last week In the faot that November payments are far more satisfactory than was feared, and yet the extensions of the month would have seemed alarming la other years. Merchants who oolleot part of the amount due are rejoiced, but their buying power Is not as large as usual. The extraordinary shrinkage In purohases for consumption. If lessening, has still made it Impossible for many arms to go on as before, and the la.'gest failure of the last week, that of the Thurber-Why land company, (llnstrater embarrassments which oannot be terminated In a week or a month. Monetary difficulties no longer hinder. It ts true the treasury cash has fallen to tVr,ns,bM, o! whioh 184,490,891 was In gold, but there Is no euoh alarm as there was when the gold reserve went below 1100,000,OOOi Business Is not leaning on the treasury and It Is well that It Is not "It has not been muoh of a week tor speculation, and that, perhaps, Is encouraging. Stooks have slightly deollned—railroads an average of 8* cents per share and trusts 11.24 per share, the grangers and Bome of the trusts being especially weak. "In produoe markets weakness was the rule, and yet the yloldlng was but small. Wheat Is quoted a full cent weaker. Corn Is one oent lower, with larger receipts. Cotton, with large reoeipts, is an eighth lower. Pork products are lower, with large selling, and ooffee Is also lower. 'The condition of Industries Improves, but they wisely Walt the revival of purchases by customers. Twenty-rour works of all kinds hare wholly or In part resumed against fourteen oloslng, yet less than half the Iron Working power Is aotlve, and out of ninety-nine woolen works at the east only ten are working full time, while forty-five were shut November 1. "The failures for the week have been 824 In the United States, against 806 last year, and In Canada, against 86 last year.

Bradstreet's says: "General trade has been Irregular without actual Increase In volume. At the south Improvement In demand Is noted In leading Tennessee and Texas cities. Heavy sale of southern pig Iron and the breaking of the drought In the southwest are features Atlantic seaboard and gulf slate cities, with exceptions, report trade very quiet, funds scaroe at Interior towns and country merchants permitting stocks to run steadily down. Improved collections In Georgia without special notloe. The uold wave has stimulated demand for seasonable goods at Cincinnati, Louisville, Chicago, St. Louis, Omaha and Duluth. where unseasonable mild weather has caused depression. Country merchants at the west are buying muoh less than a year ago, and fewer holiday novelties are being sold Demand for nails Is being oheoked beoause of the cut from 129 to CI In price and the outlook for further reduction. At eastern cities there is a more hopeful feeling, but no Improvement In demand, exoept within a day or two, for clothing, woolens and shoes "Out of 697 bank suspensions within ten months 86 per oent. were national, tt per cent, state and S3 per oent private banks. Out of 1149,042,000 liabilities of all suspended banks national banks had 40 per cent, state 38 and private 18 per oent.

M'KINLEY'S BID PLURALITY.

Latest Returns Make It St.OOO—Other Bleotlon Figures. COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 18.—The republican state executive committee have received the official vote from all the counties in the atate, and out of these fifty-four have been compared with and verified by the returns received at the seoretary of state's office. It is barely posaible that the final oount may alter very slightly the figures given below, which are practically official, and the vote on governor stands: McILinley, 433,880: Neal. 352,839 Macklin, 10,586 Bracken, 14,259. These figures give Gov. McKlnley a plurality of 81,007 in a total vote of 819,510. The full vote is not official on the prohibition and populist candidates, there being ten counties of the latter and nine of the former estimated, and there may be slight changes on their totals. In the missing prohibition counties their vote last year was 8,

ITS and the popu­

lists' 8,108. This indicates a decrease of 11 per cent in the prohibition vote of the state and a total vote of 22,230 for that party. The populist vote, estimating the missing counties as last year, will be 16,991. Only one county In the state (Pike) made a democratic gain.

LOST IK Aft ALE.

LONDON, Nov. 18.—One of the worst gales of the season is ragiug on the western and southern coasts of Great Britain. The storm set in Thursday and has been increasing in violence ever since. Many vessels are iu danger and It is thought that the maritime casualities will be great. A tremendously heavy sea sprangfup in the English channel and the Irish sea, and many vessels have experienced great difficulty In reaching port. Fishing and coasting vessels made for the nearest shelter, but all did not reach their havens of refuge in safety.

All Probably Lost.

The schooner Favorite, of Ilfracombe, was seen Thursday night staggering along under short canvas up the Bristol channel. Shortly after sue was ffrst sighted she disappeared from view in a black squall and when it became possible to again see objects seaward the schooner had disappeared. It is believed that she was capsized in the squall and filled and sank, carrying all on board down with her.

Only Four Saved.

The Frenoh brig Hortense has arrived at Swansea and reports having picked up, near Lundy island, four of the crew of the Cardiff steamer Boileau, who were drifting about in a small boat and in an almost exhausted condition.

The steam trawler Ruth Bolton was caught In a squall during the storm oil the mouth of the Tyne and four of her crew were washed overboard. The schooner Eliza Bello was wrecked near Port Logan and all her crew was drowned. Several other small vessels were wrecked on the British coast, but their crews were rescued.

A Perilous Voyage.

There was an exciting scene at Liverpool upon the arrival there at noon Friday of the steamer Black Rock from Dublin. The passengers say tliey never passed such a night in their lives. Shortly after the steamer left Dublin it got the full fury of tin gale and made the worst kind of weather of it. There waa a large number of cattle on board and some of them were thrown off their feet and had their legs broken or were otherwise injured. The steamer was thrown on its beam ends. The freight shifted and prevented the vessel from righting. There was almost a panio among the passengers. When the cattle were put on the landing stage 160 of them were so badly hurt it was necessary to kill them at once.

Reaeued the Crews.

The Frenoh trader Rannie went ashore at Swansea Thursday evening. All the crew were saved.

The gale was very severe off the Tyne. The bark Lowestoft was driven on the rocks near Shields and wrecked. The crew were saved by the rocket ap-' paratus.

The gale burst over Holyhead with gre&t suddenness, causing several vessels to drag their anchors. Among tbem was the brigantlne Bessy, which was dashed Into the breakwater and wrecked. The crew were rescued by the rocket apparatus and breeches buoy.

The coasting vessel Jane Douglass Is ashore at Holyhead. Her crew were taken off by a life-saving crew. Many minor casualities have been reported.
