NEW YORK. Sept. 29. R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade will say to-mor-row. September Is iho twelfth consecutive month In which the volume of business, both at New York and outside of New York, has been greater tha i in the same month of any previous year. In these twelve months payments through the clearing houses have teen ?S9.eo-?,e,C. against ?l,2O0,C0O,C00 In the twelve months ending with September. 1?92. an increase of $2S,400.O0O,0CO, over 40 per cent. When. the tremendous expansion began men called it replenishment of long-depleted stocks, then for a time it was called a erazy outburst of speculation, and when demands still expanded, some permanent increase of business was recognized as a result of an increased population earning better wa?e?. But the demand still grows, now ranslng about 6 per cent, greater than In 192, while population, according to the treasury estimates, is 1? per cent, greater cml wages are not over 10 per cent, greater. A reconstruction of business and industries, of producing ard transporting forces, is in progress throughout the land, with results which none can now measure. Iron consumption, instead of 760,000 tons per month as in 1SS2, is now over 1.200,00) tons per month, and yet is so far behind the demand for products that the capacity of most works is sold far on into next year. With sales of 20.0CO tons at Pittsburg, Bessemer pig rose to 122.3). Chicago coke and Southern pig again rose $1. and new furnaces are soM many months ahead before they begin work. Bars are hard to get at any price, the whole output oj the Republic Compans being sold to January, and $2.23 is quoted for common at Pittsburg, while at Chicago the great demand for car building falls on works overcrowded. Contracts for S.0O) tons of plates have been placed at Pittsburg, and at all points the price is rising with astonishing demand. Sheets are also higher with the demand intensified by renewed efforts for consolidation. Shipments of boots and shoes from Boston in six months have been 3,500.673 cases, against 2.S33.&V2 In 1592. and in four weeks :0,Si caes. against 3G0.699 last year, 376.771 In 1W, and less in any other year. Here the Increase is more nearly proportioned to population and wases. but works are all a month or more behind their orders for the season. Spring orders are fair, but restricted still by unwillingness of makers to contract largely at prices now obtainable, which average about 5 cents . advance where makers deem 7i cents necessary. The wool market Is active with a general advance averaging about i a cent on washed fleece combing and some unwashed; the entire list quoted by Coates Bros, probably averages about U cent higher. Heavyweight woolens are well cleaned up and of spring worsted many lines are withdrawn, the clays being nominally advanced to $1.43 with some fancy worsteds 3 per cent, hla-her. stronger demand for cotton staple? enures an advance or ji cent.s In brown sheeting and drills and cents in some t leached goods. A broader selling arrangement at Fall River seems likely to prevent the proposed consolidation. Cotton opened the crop year at 6.23 cents and has risen to 6.S2 cents, although about a quarter more ha come Into fight than last year from the greatest crop on reccrd and stocks here and abroad, commercial and mill, are 678.or bales greater than a year ago. But belief In rerlous loss by droughts gains ground and bJko belief In largely increased manufacture. Wheat exports from Atlantic and Pacific ports have been 4.204.2X bushels for the week, flour included, against 4.M1.022 last year, and in four weeks. 12.931.2C3 bushels. against last year. The foreign de mand has aided to sustain prices, which ciojea sc mrner man last week, although Western receipts have been a.Lft.SI bushels in the past four weeks, against 31.WO.S73 last year.

CHICAGO, Sept. 29. James B. Forgan, vice president of the First National Bank, etates an agreement has just been reached by practically all the banks of Chicago, both national and state, to pay 2 per cent. cn bank balances from Oct. 1 until further united action of the banks parties to the agreement. "A year and a half ago," Mr. Forgan said, "nearly all the Chicago banks entered Into an agreement to pay Pi per cent, on bank balances. Recently I sent out through the clearing house a form of agreement to pay 2 per cent, after Oct. 1 To-day I received notice that this had been signed by practically all the banks in Chi cago, to remain effective until otherwise de cided by united action. This I regard as an excellent sign of prosperity. E. S. Lacey, president of. the Chicago clearing house and of the Bankers' National Bank, said: "The matter of raising the in terest on balances has been discussed. This talk has developed from the fact that the interest paid for the use of the money is now near' 5 per cent., and some hanks in other cities are paying higher rates of inter est, the rate in Isew lork being as high as 2 per cent. The conditions In the money market may not. however, remain constant. and those that are aware of this fact are averse to any hasty action being taken. The proposed increase would have no effect upon city depositors." Transferred to the Bicycle Trnst. CHICAGO, Sept. 29.-The bicycle plants of Gormully & Jeffrey and of A. G. Spalding have been transferred to the American Bi cycle Company. The former was sold for JIOO.OCO. and the latter for $15,000, subject to an incumbrance of J40.W0. PJttuharK Hotel Trust. PITTSBURG.

DENOUNCE THE MILITIA

SILXCIE LABOR l.MO.NS CALL IT AX IXSTRLMEXT OF OrPHESSIOX. It'iliann Labor Organiser Tried in Kentucky Charged with Inciting: Breach of Contract. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MUNCIE, Ind., Sept. 29.-Right on the heels of the completion of the organization of Muncie's member of the state militia comes a resolutton from the Muncie Trades Council condemning the militia companies In a general way and authorizing the removal from the union of any member who takes membership with the company. The company was organized and mty-tnree members were sworn in Wednesday night, and last night the resolution was adopted, after it is too late for the members to with draw should they so desire. The resolution as published to-day has caused a big sensation'and adverse comment is general. The union men are not a unit with the action of their central body, and many business men and others not members of the unions view the action as a deplorable thing and decldedly un-American. On the other hand, the unionists claim that the state militia is only the tool of corporations, formed to shoot down the organized laboring mar. when he is fighting for his bread, and that the musket is never needed to settle these strifes, but always brings bloodshed from both sides. Captain Ritter announces that he has several union iron, steel and glass workers In his company, and that it will stand as organized, regardless of the resolution, and some of the members of the company, the names on the roster having not been published, claim that they will quit the union before they will lay down their patriotism. What the end will be is hard to fathom. " The resolutions recite that the members of organized labor are always ready to maintain the honor of the flag and to main tain public order, while the tendency is to use militia to encroach on the rights of tho laboring man; that the militia is usually a "scab organization, organized to pro tect the capitalist at the expense of the laborer; that Muncie Trades Council condemns the project to organize a militia company in the city; that any union man joining the company is a traitor to tho cause of organized labor, and that every effort will be used to weed out of the local labor organizations such members as may join the militia company. The principal resolution decrees that: "The Muncie Trades Council will, on ana after the passage of this resolution, take such steps as it may deem advisable to ascertain the name or names f any person or persons who are memVSrs' of Muncie Trades Council that have secretly or may hereafter Join, encourage. Indorse or in any manner whatsoever aid or abet the forma tion or organization of a company or com panies of so-called national guards or state militl.i. and anv member or members of the council found upon sufficient proof to bo guilty of so doing small be expelled irom membership in the Muncie Trades Council, and the local or locals wnicn saia aeiegatc or delegates represent shall be notified of such facts and requested to at once elect another or others- instead to represent it or them in the Muncie Trades Council, and any local or locals refusing or neglecting to comply witn tnis resolution ior a penuu of three months shall be suspended from all He-hts nnd hem-fits in the Muncie Trades Council until the time .that it or they do comply." '- WILL EMPLOY BO Til IMOXS. The Wataon d: McCnllocn nam to Resume Operation Very Soon. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MARION, Ind.. Sept. 23. John Koesier, oi Muncie. a member of the executive committee of the Green-glass Blowers' Union of the United States and Canada, arrived in this city last night to effect a settlement with Wilson & McCulloch, the owners of the four fruit jar factories one in this city, one at Converse and two at Fairmount. The settlement referred to is one that has been under consideration by Wilson & Mc Culloch for several weeks. This firm has for several years operated its factories with hand blowers and employed members of the Green-glass Blowers' Union. It is equipping Its factories this season with glass-blowing machines in order to compete with the other large manufacturing concerns in this line of goods who are already using machines. The officers of the Flint-glass Workers' Union have been working equally as hard as the officers of the Green-glass Blowers' Union to induce the firm to employ men from tneir union. Neer until to-day has the firm made any kilid of a proposition to either organiza tion. It has been decided by tne nrm to employ the "Greens" in the two Fairmount factories ard the "Flints" in the Marion and Ccnverye . plants. The firm considers this fair to each union and at the same time neither organization is entitled to a complaint. One factory in Fairmount will operate six machines and the other five machines. Two men are -required to operate each machine and there will be a day and night force, consequently the "Greens" will be enabled to place about forty-four blowers In those two factories at the start. Mr. Roesler said that he had been assured by the firm that in the course of a short time additional machines would be placed In the Fairmount factories and more blowers given work. Besides the force of blowers about 230 ordinary laborers will be given work in the two Fairmount factories at the start. It is the intention of Wilson & McCulloch to resume operations in the Fairmount factories about a week from next Monday. P'rom the fact that the company Is unable to secure a necessary number of machines the Marlon and Converse factories will not be able to resume operations for several days yet. Last season Wilson & McCulloch gave employment to over 1,000 people In their four factories. It Is the second largest fruit Jar manufacturing concern in the world. The headquarters of the company are in this city. OX TRIAL IX KEMICKY. Organizer Purcell Before the Court for Working Among Miners. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LONDON, Ky.. Sept. 29. Two weeks ago W. C. Purcell, of Teiye Haute, Ind., an official of the United Mine Workers of America, was arrested at the instance of the Pittsburg, the Victoria, the Laurel, the Pittman and the Kentucky coal companies' operators, and was thrown into jail without bond, charged with Inciting the miners to strike while under contract. To-day he was tried on the charges made by the Pittsburg Coal Company. The prosecution was represented by nearly every attorney in town, and it is said they are bringing every possible pressuie to bear on the court, but the prosecution failed to prove the existence of a contract. Nearly every motion made by the defense was overruled by the court, but notwithstanding this he was not, as had been expected, found guilty, the jury being unable to agree. He will have four more trials and a retrial, each indictment necessitating a separate hearing. All of the miners are supporting Purcell. and 200 filled the courthouse and cheered for him to-day.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ANDERSON, Ind., Sejt. 29. A series of special called meetlugs behind closed and guarded doors, has been begun here and In window-class manufacturing centers this

week by the workers, who are getting Into tangible shape an opposition against the methods employed by National President Burns, who has involved the workers' association in litigation to keep the manufacturers from turning their plants into the newly-formed trust. The workers contend they cannot see that they will be benefited, even should Burns be successful. They desire that he adopt conciliatory methods; that he approach instead of fight the manufacturers, and that every effort be put forth to reopen the plants under any conditions which may prevail. The opposition is becoming very strong and it is claimed that it may result

in unseating Burns unless he heeds it. Asks .-,UR( Damages. CHICAGO, Sept. 20. The famous American Railway Union strike of 1S94 and the alleged blacklist agreement between the various railroads affected by that strike, were brought into court again to-day by the filing of a suit for $30,000 damages against the Chicago & Northwestern, and the Wabash Railroads by Joseph O'Day. O'Day, at tho time of the strike, -was yardmaster in the employ of the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad Company, . and . asserts, that through the alleged agreement between the railroad ccmpanies .he has been unable, since the strike, to secure, employment in his profession.

Under the terms of agreement the cornerstone will be cut by union men from a block of Illinois limestone. Suit Withdrawn and Rented. Ppeclal to the Indianapolis Journal. ANDERSON. Ind.. Sept. 29. Upon order from President Burns the suits filed by the Window-glass Workers National Associa tion, enjoining Indiana manufacturers from transferring their plants to the new trust. were withdrawn this morning and material ly amended in sections. They were reftied this afternoon. The. principal issues, how ever, remain substantially the same.

LOSS OF ONE MILLION DIG FOUR WAREHOUSE AT CINCIN NATI DESTROYED BY FIRE. ;-:," v ' ' ' New Union Passenger Station I Radly Damaged Many Freight and Passenger Cars Burned. CINCINNATI, O., Sept. 30. At 1:10 a. m. fire was discovered In the Big Four warehouse, occupying a block bounded by Cen tral avenue, Pearl, Plum and Second streets. A general alarm soon called the whole department to the scene, as the fire rapidly spread to other railway building?, Including the freight sheds, where forty loaded freight cars were burned and thirty that were . not loaded. Some passenger coaches wero also badly damaged in the yards. The warehouse where the fire start ed wis rcme'O cjcj a? a union p-rssenjcr station, and is just across the street from the new passenger station, which was so badly damaged that no morning trains could leave that place. The approaches to" the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway bridges were also badly dam aged. The loss is estimated at over 1,000,000, but it will be somo time before the extent of the loss in the sheds and yards can be known. The guests of the Grand Hotel and smaller hostelries In the vicinity of the depots were greatly alarmed. At 2:15 a. m. the fire was under control. The damage to the- Chesapeake & Ohio bridge vns slight. The Smith-street bridge across the tracks was destroyed and the sheds of the Union Passenger Station, as well as the freight depot and warehouse and many cars. It is Impossible to estimate the number of cars burned. The Union Passenger Station was saved by pulling out the cars from the adjoining sheds while they were burning. It was a remarkable sight when engines rushed -out to sidings with trains of burning cars. The loss of goods in the warehouse and loaded cars will affect many shippers and others as well as the railway, which has sustained heavy losses. Morning trains are leaving from the yaids.

Commissioner Wilson has issued the fol lowing circular: "Hereafter a change in the person or persons operating a distillery will not be taken to require a new series of num bers for the packages of distilled spirits thereafter produced and warehoused at such distillery. The regulation which requires that when a change of ownership of a distillery occurs the first package deposited by the new distiller or owner shall begin with No. 1 is hereby revoked." Late official advices from Samoa contain accounts of recent meetings of the provisional government at Alia, at which steps were taken to have native judges try cases between natives and native officials, to solemnize marriages and keep tax records of property owned by the Samoans. Two judges. Tagaoa and Toomata, were chosen. one being an adherent of the former King Malietoa, and the other a Mataafan. The provisional authorities settled the claim of the heirs of the late King Malietoa Leunepa, and rejected the claim of the secretary of the late Samoan government. Captain Preed3of the British ship Torch, was given several warrants against natives for capital crimes, which will be turned over to Chief Lauatl for execution.

The attorney general has dispatched a special agent of the Department of Justice to Louisiana to make an official inquiry into the killing of the five Italians at Tallulah some months ago. The last word from the Governor of the State indicated that he could make no report on the subject until the grand jury, which meets next January, has looked into the killing, and the Department of Justice is therefore obliged to act In order that the material may be had for Congress at the approaching session.

It looks as if it had been dyed and the dyer had not finished his job. His hair is quite closely clipped behind. His nose Is his strongest feature. It i3 large, broad and generously formed. The early pictures that made him a thin-faced, hook-nosed, half emaciated man are all wrong. He looks as if he had had three square meals every day in his life, as he has had. His nose Is not hooked. His ears are small and placed fiat against his head. His neck is stout, but the flesh does not stick over his collar. His shoulders are square and fall equally. The hands show tne admiral's high-strung, spirited nature best of all. They move conveniently, but they are not the gesture of an excitable nature. They are not dramatic; they are serious and emphatic. He shakes his head when he talks. . His eyes reflect his comment on what Is being said. That quiet, gray eyeball grows serious In a moment or laughs with you Just as the owner feels. They look earnestly at you, but not with a gaze that might make you III at ease. His face might be called classical. It is just a trifie too neavy perhaps, for an Apollo Belvidere, but it would be a mighty good face to trust. The admiral wears little shoes that are always polished Just right. They look like sevens. His step is rather long, but quick. It gives the irn pression of great reserve torce. Dewey could run fast if he wanted to get anywhere in a hurry. Much has been said about Dewey's clothes. He has been pointed out as an exauisite. and one bureau officer protested against his being sent to such an important post as the Philippines because he was a "dude." His dress is always neat, always in good taste. There is no exaggerated cut of his coat and no smartly creased trousers, as might be expected. As a matter of fact, to-day the trousers he wore needed passing badly. But Dewey is a well-dressed man. Dewey has a good voice. It is pitched rather low. He speaks with a Boston accent, without any of Boston's eccentricities. There is nothing of the Yankee about It. His "a's" are rather broad, . his words are always well chosen. He speaks decisively. It is the voice of one who feels that he is In command and. is responsible. Yet there Is always consideration in the tone. He doesn't speak sharply when giving an order. It is rather a request, from the inflection of the voice. PYROTECHNIC DISPLAY. New York. Harbor Illuminated with Colored Light and Sky Rockets. NEW YORK, Sept. 29,-Never before In the history of New York has this city ever witnessed a greater pyrotechnic and electrical display than that with which the return of Admiral Dewey was celebrated in the harbor and waters surrounding the Island of Manhattan to-night. As if to Join in the poular acclaim to the great admiral, nature lent her forces to the display of fireworks, for the Western sky was Illuminated frequently during the evening with flashes of lightning, showers at times interrupting sky-rocket proceedings, though but slightly dampening the good nature of -the of the crowds. There was seemingly no end to the display of fireworks. Every wharf landing end pier had ita quota of sightseers and the enthusiasm was abundant. From house tops as well as from sidewalks Powder by the barrel was burned and rockets sent aloft In honor of the hero of Manila. The fireworks float Mars, loaded with fireworks and aglow with those being displayed, took fire in the East river and instantly blazed up, frightening the twenty men on beard, who at first attempted to Jump overboard. The blaze was started by the sparks setting fire to a tarpaulin which was u.ed to cover a lot of skyrockets. Roman candles and the like and-those were sent flying in all dlrectlors.

Sept. 30.-The Times, in an editorial tracing Admiral Dewey's career, rays: "Not the least remarkable part of the celebration la the fact that Admiral Dewey has manifestly satisfied all shades of opinion. There is no record of a single Jarring note to roar the harmony of the occasion. We In England can have no moro pleasant duty than to congratulate America upon the possession of her gallant seamen and her exhibition of lesritimate pride, in that possession. We feel sure nobody in America will qutstlcn ths propriety cf ths

considerations which deter Canada from al

lowing a detachment of the imperial forces to take official part in a celebration that must necessarily recall painful memories to another nation with whom we maintain traditional relations of peace and friendship. The vast majority of Americans unquestionably appreciated England's friendly attitude during the war. but we doubt whether that could anywhere be so cordially appreciated as among the American sailors, who had special opportunity of putting it to the proof all the world over In their daily relations with the British nav We do not believe that the seed of friendship thus sown in the two countries are destined to remain sterile or to yield only an ephemeral harvest of empty profession of good will." Dewey Day nt Santiago De Cuha. SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Sept. 29. The Americans in Santiago de Cuba celebrated "Dewey day" this afternoon. The government buildings and residences of Americans were gaily decorated. There was a miniature naval parade of yachts and tugs, with a general blowing of whistles and a discharging of cannon crackers. This evening an elaborate display of fireworks was carried out on lighters in the harbor. The arrival of numerous Americans since the raising of the quarantine made the celebration possible. As the United States troops have not yet returned to the city, it was necessary to engage Cuban bands to furnish the music The Cubans did not. however. Join In the celebration. They are Inclined to resent his reported statement that the Filipinos are more capable of self-government than the Cubans. Department to Close on Tuesday. WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.

Jhe new cases of yellow fever to-day number seventy-four several of which developed three days ago, but were not reported until to-day. One death is reported. WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-The yellow fever dispatches to Surgeon General Wyman to-night report three new cases at New Orleans and five persons now ill of the fever at Centerville. Miss.

Department of Public Library Xot Patronised as It Should Be. Indianapolis Medical and Surgical Monitor. The library opened Nov. 1. 1898. There are now 3.730 medical books; 1,210 of these were purchased by the School Board, and 2,520 donated by the physicians of Indiana. In addition to these there are six hundred volumes In duplicate ready for exchange as soon as the exchange list of the Medical Library Association is received. In this respect there seems an unnecessary dela Seme valuable purchases have been made during the past year ninety-four in number. Some of these were very expensive: for instance, sixteen volumes of the Index Medicus, $135. The total amount expended was J50S.2S. Recently Dr. E. R. Lewis donated fifty volumes of bound medical Journals and Dr. James Woodburn twenty-one volumes of miscellaneous books. The current medical journals consist of seventeen monthlies and eight weeklies, selected from the best publications. The physicians and medical students of the city visit the library occasionally, arid should avail themselves of the privilege more frequently. The former may have access to the- reading room at all regular hours; the latter must be vouched for by a reputable physician. Any responsible person may use the medical books that were for merly on the shelves in the circulating de partment, by applying at the desk for them. These, however, are of a general character. The text books and bound journals are to be used in the medical reading room only. This room is under the supervision of an at tendant, who is at ail times willing to ad minister to the desire of patrons. There is no special fund set aside by the School Board for the purchase of medical books, and there is not likely to be unless more interest is shown by the physicians by an increased patronage. Many persons thought that a medical 11. brary was "the one thing needed." If true then, it should be demonstrated by a larger attendance. The selection of reading matter is good, and will probably meet the present demands, and the arrangement will answer until such time as the library assumes greater proportions. Indiana noils should have a good medical library. The present one. although In its infancy, is meritorious and should receive the earnest support of the profession. Dewey a Dainty Dresser. Leslie's Weekly. Admiral Dewey's exceeding care in matters of dress gained for him at one time the reputation of being something of a fop among those who did not know his rare and sterling qualities. Apropos of this is the description given by a Washington correspondent of Dewey's arrangement of his wardrobe. Everything had its place, and he knew exactly, it is said, where to find a handkerchief, shirt or collar. In short, he might be called a crank on this subject, having invented an odd custom for keeping his shirts, no that one could not be worn oftener than another. They are all numbered, ranging from one to twenty-one. He had a chiffonier containing an equal number of drawers; Just wide enough to receive a shirt. He begins at the top and wears the shirt in drawer No. 1, thn the garment in drawer Na 2, and so on down the line. He is Just as particular about other parts of his wardrobe. Cut in Passenger Rates.
