CONDITIONS OF TRADE. Reviews From the Agencies of l>un ami Bradstreet. NO REACTION IN BUSINESS. Products Are Lmver WlVliont Disturbance or Sign of Panic—Deinnod For Cheap Hoots and Shoes a Grade Better— Large Orders For Holiday Specialties. New York, Nov. 23. —R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of trade, issued today, says: Reaction in business there is none. Efforts to explain it or to attribute it to this or that temporary in- ' fluence are all wasted. In every business men now perceive the fact that the purchases in advance of current distribution, which were made when prices were booming, involved of necessity a season of halting when the rise stopped and until the actual demand for consumption has been measured. Products are lower without disturbance or sign of panic. The more sober estimates of wheat, months ago, rose 50,000,000 or more above the government and speculative guesses; and now a reputable estimate of 475,000,000 bushels excites little remark. Corn declines hj cent further. Pork products also have reason for weakening, lard 15 cents per 100 pounds and pork 25 Cents per barrel. The cotton market, has been assisted all the week by small receipts and remarkably stiff statements of scarcity, but has gained a Kith, It begins to be a decisive fact that, exports are small, partly because stocks abroad are heavy and partly because- the manufacture abroad does not find a market for the usual quantity of goods, the British being especially embarrassed. Bessemer, anthracite.:No, 1 and bar are quoted lower, while sales below quotations are frequent. Structural work is cut down by the strike of houseworkers here and quite a number of mills, principally bar, have stopped within a few days. The demand for cheap boots and ’ shoes is a shade better, but many shops arc idle or working part time and buyers generally hold off, although considerable reductions are qpw offered by manufacturers for men’s split shoes. Failures for the week have been 320 in the United States, against 322 last year, and 42 in Canada, against 31 last year. ' 3 BRADSTBKET’S REVIEW. Demand For Staple* Increases as the Crthl Viyxathdr Approaches. New York, Nov. 23.—Bradstreet’s today says: The check to general trade, which has been conspicuous for the last few weeks, still continues. The demand for staples increases on the appearance of seasonably cold weather, the resuit being larger orders for woolens, shoes, runners and holiday specialties. Exports of wheat from both coasts of • the United'States and from Montreal this week (flour included as wheat) amount to 2,916,000 bushels, against 3,325,000 bushels last week, 3,312,000 in the week a year ago, 2,764,000 in the ■ week two years ago, 3,465,000 throe years ago. and as compared with 4,082,000 id the like'week of 1891. . Business failures show another marked increase, numbering 323 throughout the United States, against 279 last week, 295 in the week a year ago and 358 in the third week of November, 1893. In the corresponding week of 1892, the total was only 185. The bulk of the increase is in the middle and western states. Bribery Case Postponed. Springfield, Ills., Nov. 23.—The people against Reproseinative Milroy H. Gibson, which was set for yesterday, has been continued until Dee. 2, owing to the fact that important criminal cases are ahead of the Gibson case.

OUR POSTAL SEkVITE. Condition of That Department Shown by the Postmaster General. DEFICIENCY FOR THE YEAR. Much of th. Work la Dona For Other Department. Without Pay — Recommend. the Use of Private Postal Card*. Seoond-Cla*. Privileges Abu.ed—Extension of Civil Service Recommended. Washington, Nov. 25.—Postmaster General Wilson has made his first annual report to the president. The receipts of the postoffice department for ' the year ending June 30, 1895, were $76,171,090 and expenditures $86,790,172. It is gratifying, says the report, that a large portion of the deficiency ocg -Im' POSTMASTER genep.al wils6n. curred in the first quarter of the year and that revenues are increasing with returning ’prosperity. Mr. Wilson estimates the revenue for the year ending Juno 30, 129'1, at $89,793,120, and the expenditures at $91,817,900. Speaking of the deficiency, Mr. Wilson says: “The regular annual defi- I ciency in the revenues of the postal service, emphasized as it appears to be by the unusual amount of deficiencies for the past two years, may call forth comment from those who believe that the postoffice department should be selfsustaining. But it should be remembered that the free business done by this department for other branches and departments of the government, if paid for at regular or cost rates, would more than wipe out its deficiencies.” The postmaster general refers to the growth of the free delivery service and says: “I believe it is good policy for congress and for this department to foster the extension of this service by judicious appropriations and judicious administration.” Mr. Wilson reiterates the necessity for legislation to punish train-wrecking and obstruction to mails urged by his predecessor, and recommends legislation authorizing the use of private postal cards. Second Gliim Mall Matter. The abuse of the second class privilege is pointed out and congress is urged to enact remedial legislation. Upon another feature of the second class matter the postmaster general says: “The volume of second class matter passing through tho mails increases rapidly, and has reached such proportions as to seriously retard the distribution of mails in thp larger postoffiees- and railway postofiices. The department, through its local representatives, has repeatedly urged publishers to separate their publications by states, and routes where the ’'quantity'for'auyoiie state or territory is sufficient to justify it before sending them to tho.mailing offices, and has endeavored to show them that their own interests would be subserved thereby.” Civil Service Commended. Postmaster General Wilson says that the civil service rule should be extended wherever practicable. He says: “The magnitude and multiplicity of its business operations, the perfection of service which the people are learning to demand and to expect of it, and the palpable truth that such business operations can be carried, on and such perfect service rendered only by men trained and expert; these and many other reasons, call for such stability of tenure as alone can command or beget the requisite training, skill and enthusiasm. The continuity of the department should be preserved in changes of administration not only along tlie line of its subordinate and separate service, but,in that larger grasp of its history, its daily work and its healthful progress which is found alone with those who direct and control its chief bureaus. I concur, therefore, in the judgment of one of my recent predecessors that three of the assistant postmaster generals should hold their offices toy a civil service or merit tenure and not by a political tenure. I refrain from offering a like opinion as to the forth assistant postmaster general, because fourth class post--masters, whose'appointment is primarily alioted to him, are yet outside of that tenure.” . . Railroad Earnings For a Yearj Washington, Nov. 25.—The interstate commerce commission has just jJjsued a preliminary report on the income and expenditures of railways in the United States for the year ending June 30, 1895. Tho' report includes the returns from 650 roads and covers the operations of" 164,529 miles of line, or 92 per cent of the total mileage >of the United States.

CREATED 1 SENSATION Testimony Before the State Investigating Committee at Philadelphia. CHARGES AGAINST M’KEE. Bridge Foreman on City Work Shown Up In a Bad Light by tho Evidence of Addis, Warren and Boll—Large Amount of Money Alleged to Have Been Ml»approprlated. Philadelphia, Nov. 23.—Yesterday afternoon’s session of the state investigation committee was productive of the ■ most sensational testimony yet heard, serious charges being made against Samuel McKee, a bridge foreman on the City work. The charges against McKee were the outcome of testimony given Jby General Ageut Addis and Thomas Warren and Frederick H. Roll, formerly employed as laborers on the city bridge»work and went to show that McKee swindled the city out of considerable money from May to September of this year. Agent Addis produced copies of eight payrolls covering that period to which were attached affidavits of Superintenddent Trik that they were correct. According to the payrolls Warren and Roll received $3 per day. Warren said he got but $2 per day and Roll said he only received $1.59. They said McKee paid them their wages and Warren added that he always held a b otter over the figures on the payrolls; The latter witness also said that two of McKee's sons were- employed as apprentices at $5 a week. The payrolls showed they Were each paid $3 a -day. —. CUBAN INSURRECTION. Villages Being Burned and Many Political Prisoliers Arrested. Havana, Nov. 23.—An insurgent force of 1,500 men has burned the villages of Guinea and Mirande, near j Trinidad, south of Sanctispiritus in the province of Santa Clara, from which vicinity General Maximo Gomez, tbe insurgent leader, was recently reported to have been driven across the river Zaza. An insurgent detachment under the leadership of Biamonte has attacked Fort Fluriach in the Santa CruZ district of the province of Puerto Principe. After an hour's firing the insurgents were’compelled to retreat. Biamonte and many of his followers are reported to have been badly wounded. A dispatch ’ from Pino Del Rio, capital of the province of that name, announces that 21. political prisoners have been arrested at Guana, not far from Pinar Del Rio, and were conveyed under escort to the latter place. It was officially announced yesterday that the Spanish government fippupyes of all the deportations which have taken place by XqjT of General Campos without distincticJTbqr regardjvfor the social position of sent to tho African colonies ori-adsewhere for taking part in the insurrection or for conspiring against the government. MAKING THIEVES WORK. Splendid Policy of Ridding a City of Desperate Character. City of Mexico, Nov. 23.—Two hundred thieves sent down, into the hot country from this city have been sent to quarrying stone at Peueulas, near Vera i Cruz the stone being used for harbor I improvements. Some among these are very desperate characters who went to the village of Atoyaca and attacked a shop kept by two Frenchmen. When one Frenchman resisted the robbery of the shop he was murdered by the thieves. The police gave chase aiid one thief threw himself over a cliff and was dashed to pieces. The policy of sending away great batches of thieves will be maintained, the idea being to rid the city of desperate characters and make them earn a living. Church Property In Litigation. Cincinnati.

ONE OF THE LARGEST BUCH SHOULD BE INDIANA’SCENTENNIAL EXPOSITION. It I. the Rtate*. Grente.t Opportunity to Bring: Credit on Itself—Comments on the Project By Commissioners Hathaway, Cravens, Smith, Hadley Ooldthwaite and bklnner. The proposed Indiana Centennial in 1900 is becoming a subject of lively interest, and the general expression indicates that it is the wish of the people that it should be made creditable to the state in the highest degree. Commissioner Hathaway of Winamac, says regarding the project: “In my opinion nothing but good can result from a proper and fitting celebration of the centennial anniversary of the organization of Indiana territory by holding an exposition at the State capital, of at least three months duration, at the most opportune and appropriate time during the year 1909, that will not only reflect credit upon the originators of the proposed enterprise, but as well upon the great, state that bears the name ‘lndiana.’ And when I speak of ‘a proper and fitting celebration’ I do not mean that we should limit the displays to the products of Indiana, for such, to me, would seem too much of the nature of- a state fair. The gates, in my opinion, should be thrown wide open and ’the entire universe most cordially invited to assist in making it a ‘Mid-Continent Exposition’ on Indiana soil, the immensity of which should and will demand a few pages in future histories of the world. To me, there seems no end to reason why this should be done. The efforts of the eminent statesmen who shaped the boundary and destiny of this great territory deserve it. it- will afford the greatest possible medium for advertising our progress, enterprise and Civilisation and especially enable tbe population of Hoosierdoni to familiarize themselves with tho same, and Indiana, so her prominence m both peace and war, for her magnificent educational institutions 'and lr.-r ideal school system, for the scale and magnitude of her mmy and va ious state institutions, deserves more widespread advertising to the world in these particulars, that she may be properly classed and ranked a model among states for the same. An exposition properly celebrating this historic period would do all this and more; it would be a sour’ce from which the citizens of Indiana would obtain the greatest possible knowledge of the products of their own state, the most fertile spot and portion of the great Mississippi valley, of the cereals and grasses of the Wabash, Ohio and White river valleys, of the virgin forests of the central and northeastern portions of the state, of fields of coal, iron, copper, marble, granite, slate and' gypsum, of her various clays so abundant and valuable, of her wonderful gas and oil fields,, and of the great development of her,expanding manufacturing interests, assisted so greatly by from tbe 7,000 to 10,000 miles of railroads that traverse and permeate tile entire state in every direction.’ Indiana, for her rapid strides in we’alth, com:n*eree and her social and political prosperity, de- » serves a front seat among the states of the nation and nothing will so quickly place her there as an exposition proportionate with the importance of the event we expect to celebrate, participated in by the entire world. By all" means let us have an exposition, complete in its every part, one that will be long remembered and ever classed as one of the greatest of the age,or none at. all, is my idea of the proposed enteri prise.” I THE BEST SSaTE in. the union. Asked for his 'ideas concerning the proposed Indiana centennial exposition, John W. Cravens of Bloomington, commissioner of the Fifth district, said:. “I am heartily in favor of the exposition. It- should- lie given in a manner that will shed renewed luster on the name and fame of the best state in the Union. This cannot be done without, funds. Financial matters are serious questions and from start to finish they must be Handled by men of recognized ability ind strictest integrity.” “How about tho sources of.revenue?” “The expenses ought to be so divided among the government, the state, the city of Indianapolis and the exhibitors I that the burden will fall lightly on each. I taking into consideration tho great gooc. i that can be-accomplished. Os course I no exposition ought to be undertaken i unless it is to be made worthy tho occasion.” “What about the buildings?” was asked. To this Mr. Cravens replied “There ought to be a main building that will be permanent—one that will amtinue to be the people’s pride ever afterward. Each county should be given its share of space, and the products of glorious Indiana should be shown in detail. Take, my own County of Monroe for instance. We have the best building stone quarries in the world. Think what a splendid display the stonemen could make.” - “What about an educational exhibit?’’ “Certainly, that ought to be made one of the chief features. Indiana has the best- educational system in the United States. Our common schools are the foundation on which is built a peerless educational structure, the crowning glory of which is the most progressive university in the country—the Indiana University—located in Bloomington. Just think of it. In this congressional district alone are the State University, Depanw University, Franklin college, Central Normal eol‘lege and <i|Jier institutions of higher education. All these ought, ami . doubtless will be elaborately represented in the exposition. ,*‘So numerous are Indiana's products that we are a whole country unto ourselves. Everything that grows or is madb is found, here. We' have more beauty and brains than any other 5 state in the Union. We are going to furnish the presidential candidates fftr both the Democratic and Republican parties next year. Why shouldn't we have a big exposition? The ’material is liere., ''|’he . is ready for the ©Amper, apd the members of tho centennial commission and all other sons and daughters bf ln- ' diana ought to enter the .fi.-fils of grainat on.ee.” . “What have you.t > say in regard to ■ the manner and extent of advertising the-exposition?” “Judicious advertisement is tbe steam that -makes the engine of* any business move. If you have a good thing let the peoule know it. - To the nuwsnanm-s

more than to any other agency, will be due the success of the enterprise. This feature must be put in charge of men who are both practical and progressive. If the men in charge of this department will do their duty, the editors will do theirs. The thing to do is to inaugurate au exposition of merit. The press will keep the public posted, and the public will show its appreciation by its presgnee.” Indiana’s greatest opportunity. H. B. Smith of Hartford City, one of the Eleventh district commissioners, says: “There can be no question as to the desirability and importance of the proper celebration of the centennial of the organization of Indiana territory. Plans' should be adopted for such ushowing as will be in keeping with the size, importance and dignity of our state. Indiana is one among the very best states of the Union, with general resources second in importance to none. | In the past our resources have not been ; brought to the attention of the country ; as they should have been. The proposed centennial, if properly planned • managed, will give us the opportunity to do sb, and will be of incalculable benefit to the state, instructive and in- | teresting to our citizens, as well as a great and valuable advertisement of our ■ state. To meet with the success that ! the proposed celebration should it will ■ by necessary to have the earnest support ' of all of our people, which I think we I will have when the matter is brought to ; their attention. Therefore, the subject i should be-agitated, discussed and in i every way possible brought to the at- | tention of our citizens and get them thot- i otxghly aroused to the importance of the enterprise, and it can and will be made a success.” . Commissioner J. C. Hadley of Logansport says: “It is too early yet to express views in detail, though I feel that the importance! of some sort of a celebration ought to be thoroughly im- ! pressed upon the minds of all citizens. I I believe that‘We ought nbt to attempt I to give an exposition with the hope of attracting the world; that would be too big aii undertakiiig anil iniglit tior. be a i success. But we can hold an attractive | exp isition for our own state’s people I and tiipse of adjoining states. I would think that the work ought to be permanent in a degree, so that after the exposition is over there remain a monument in the way of an art hall or a state museum that will forever be an object of interest.” Commissioner Goldthwaite of Marion thinks that the legislature should authorize a tax.levy of at least 2 mills on taxable property for a fitting centennial celebration. “Whatever is attempted,” he says, “should be commenced deliberately and on-a sure foundation. Davy Crockett’s motto should be strictly adhered to.” Hou. DeFoe Skinner of Valparaiso, one of the commissioners at large, says: “There is a class of people wholly un- ' used to enthu-e over our progress or growth in the direction of great achievements, and yet no one cm ba indifferent to the fact -that we are bn an as-, cendiug scale—so much so that we al- , leady match and have exceeded the at- ; tainments of many older communities i and states. ••The c-rganizatifm of Indiana as a i territory was au event of great historic ' value, and gave to the then frontier an J impetus which has resulted in a civili- 1 zatiou without a parallel in the annals ' of any people. This being so. what I more fitting than an exposition commemorating the first century of our existence; why not publish to the world the pride we feel in the developments of our first one hundred years? “From a wilderness within the memory of living man we have risen to a great state, containing 2,°500,0p0°0f in-, telligent, industrious and thrifty people, with laws affording protection and support to every mea-ure and means tof merited need. To think about it is to become enthusiastic, and tlie. hope follows that the commission appointed under a resolution of the last general assembly will devise a plan To bo submitted to the next legislature fully enabling it to take the proper steps necessary to carry into full offset- the-purposes-of. tlie resolution. That the state is able to thus emphasize its marve’ous advances mentsS no one doubts. How to best do this is a question to be considered. To this end the commission will labor faithfully, and we may hope successfully.” NO HALF WAY HELFj SHOULD BE GIVEN TO INDIANA’S ‘ CENTENNIAL. Hon. Joseph I. Irwin's Ideas ns to What the State Should Do In Aid of the Great Project—Views of Commissioners Alartindale, Buskirk and Others Favoring Permanent Exhibits. Hon. Joseph 1. Irwin of Columbus, one of the Indiana Centennial commissioners, says regarding the project: "The State-of Indiana, being file center ’of population of the United States and centrally located as to Stealth ami business, deserves to stand high among-lier ; sister states. Her Stone quarries are j the very best, the product being used in | all parts of the ?buntry. Her coal fields are so-extensive that they are, almost exhaustless. Her timber is /the best hiwdwood; her soil is as good as fem be found anywhere. The proposition toshow to'the world all the good things belonging to Indiana, together with the advancement made in the%:ist century, is.laudable and deserves-the hearty cooperation of our people. To do this will require a large outlay of energy and money.? There is plenty of time between now and the assembling of the next legislature for the people to discuss rive Subject and decide whether they are in -fth or or’opposed to the prop- > osition,' If Xlwaiecisioii is favorable, there should be'no half wav support.”, INDIANA'S 3IEA,GKR AfeyiißTis’lNG. Hon. E. B. Martindah'. one of the members at large qA the Indiana cen-' tennial cinnnvissm’ti, in an interview regarding five project, says:' ' . t‘ We should celebrate in an appropriate manner the •centennial of Indiana.’ The stale has up to this time spent very little mone.v in advertising to the world her centui’y ’s development, No,state in . the union, anrt in fact no country in the” hqs acwlnplished more in ahundred years’.VNow, in line with the enterprise her puppie have displayed, the state should make known so .the world what hnssbeen' aecpiuplished'. “In the line of discovery and invention more has been accomplished in tlie' past hundred years than was acooinnlished the nreoerlinar 50G v-x*—'.

These great discoveries and inveutibus have been stimulated by our modern expositions. Fulton was regarded ua a crank and impoverished himself before he convinced capita! that st/an* could be used in navigation. The «'ongressmen who voted aid to Morse in the construction of a telegraph line front Washington to Baltimore were ridiculed by their constituents and defeated for re-election. The advocates of the expenditure of a half million dollars by the state in making known to the world what the name ‘lndiana’ stands for will as certainly receive in, time the universal indorsement of the people as did Fulton and Morse. "The same genius that has produced great inventions will produce great improvements in the methods of expositions. The most disheartening feature about the holding of such a modern exposition is the great waste of money in the consiruction of buildings and preparation of exhibits which are valueless after the exposition closes. 1 maintain that we can so construct and maintain an exposition that this great waste of money will be avoided, and that the expenditure will be in the nature of a profitable investment to the state. Tho gate receipts of an exposition depend very largely on its location —the nearer the center of the state, and the center of the greatest central city of the state it can be placed, the greater will be rhe attendance and gate receipts. "Tne #tate of Indiana is fortunately the owner ->f large plat of ground in the very center of the city, at the very point best adapted tq' the location of a ‘centennial building.’ The main building should be so constructed that it would be ornamental and a model of architecture in itself, and at the same time contain a permanent exhibit in the departments of science, literature, education, fine arts, decorative arts, electricity, geology, fisheries, etc. Tho buildings for the display of manufacturing machinery, implements, agriculture, horticulture, floriculture, etc., would be temporary and inexpensive, and be removed at the end of the exposition. The permanent building and -the exhibits therein- would be perma- L nent, and a sufficient charge made for admission after the main exposition closes to meet the expenses of maintenance. This will be an economical and creditable enterprise for;Yhe state, in which no money will bb wasted, and should commend itself to the people of the state and to the next general assembly, which will be asked to inaugurate it. TP'S BENEFITS TO THE STATE. “What will tbe state Accomplish by it? (l.j She will have taken a step in advance of her sister states in the building of and in concentrating the best works in art. education jyid literature. (2.J She will build up ana foster among the masses of the people a love for aft. with its relining influence, and stimulate a pride in the great accomplishments of the people. (3„i She will advertise tl\e material aiu- skilled development of her resources to tne people ot the world in a manner and to an extent that could not be accomplished in a century by any other method. i,4.' This centennial building and the exhibits contained therein would be an attraction to every visitor to America from foreign countries that would make us the center of attraction as well as the center of population. The conventions of our leading political parties should declare for it, and our people should unanimously favor it.” ALL PARTIES SHOULD SUPPORT IT. Thomas B. Buskirk of Paoli, a member of the centennial commission, Says:. "Tueenable Indiana to attain her proper position among the states, it is of vital importance that the proposed centennial exposition be held. is but one place to hold it—lndianapolis. To remove from it all possible influences of a partisan nature, the platforms of all political parties should .deciare in favor- - of it. For the benefit of those to come after us, the principal buildings should be of that permanent character suggested by 'Hon. E. B. Martindale of the spmmissiou, in which the exhibits of a permanent, lasting and ‘educational character may-fn? preserved'. Iff lud of " the exposition an effort should be made ’ to secure an appropriation from tho general government, rhe’ erection of a governmenf building and a government exhibit. Aside from thi<. the exposition should be oue of Indiana’s progress, improvement ami achievements Solely anil distinctively. As a matter of detail I would .suggest that, besides' the exhibits of a general nature, the exposition lie divided into 1” departments, each of which should iMjiresent..a decade of the conditions and achievements of Indiana as a territory and state, Commissioner James A. Arthur of Gosheti, says: “That we should fittingly celebrate' the event goes without saying, qjim we should, do it in a manner that’ will be copnnensurate with the ihagnituse ami importance of the state. 1 am decidedly in favor of making it a permanenv-“exposition, where will ho ■ gathered together samples of art. litera- . ture. science, ami manufactured products of the,state, also a geographical and geot'mcal display.coupled .with a complete showing of. the work- , ings-of our excellent school system, and " thus show to dur sister state's and to the world,.at large the wonderful resources of Indiana. ’’ ' Mis \V B.
