TRADE OUTLOOK IS GOOD "WEEKLY REVIEWS OF COXDITIOXS II V BRAD5THEET AU Dl.N & CO. Weather, Crop anil Industrial Development, Coupleil vrlth Easy .Money, Hate Create! Optimism. NEW YORK, July l.-Bradstreet's tomorrow w ill say: Weather, crop and Industrial developments have been largely favorable, and, coupled with the great ease of money, make for an optimistic feeling in trade and speculation. As stated some time ago and confirmed by recent development?, the future ?eom.s more and more secure, but the Immediate present does not In all instances present so satisfactory an appearance. Warmer weather has continued to help retail distribution, but has not in all casrs made up for the disadvantages caused by the heretofore backward reason. With few exceptions summer resort business ha.- not equaled expectations. Hallway earnings are really nattering. June returns on nearly l"0,oi)0 miles of road showing an aggregate gain of 8 per cent, on last year. In the matter of actual business lmprovem nt is noted In the demand for finished products of Iron and Mel. and lumber seems to b recovering from the temporary depression notid at the beginning of July. The shoe trade, naturally hides and leather, hretofr backward, has begun to show a favorable side, rnd the strength of wool and woolen goods is also more noticeable. The dry-goods trade, taken as a whole, is rather quiet, but increased Interest is shortly to be expected. Th- Kastrn fall Jobbing trade In this line is not expected to set in quite as early as a year ago. Good growins: weather is reported the country over, and corn and cotton reports are generally more favorable. The Southern peach yield has been larse, and fruits generally have done well. Iron and htctl trade conditions are surprisingly good, to none nior so than the manufacturers themselves, who atlhe middle of July rind their outpu. for the list half of the year practically booked. The scarcity of pic; Iron amounts, to something approaching a famine, nwin to restricted supplies of fuel causing shut-downs of numerous Kastern furnaces. Nr m-rous order? for r is iron for the first h. T of next year have been booked both by -iorthern and Southern furnaces. ' The position of the latter has been much improved by tho settlement of the coal miners' strike in the Illrmingham district. Heavy sales of finished material are reported at Chicago and I'ittsburg this week, liar iron, structural material, rails, and. in fact, all of the heavier forms note special activity. Implement manufacturers have bu n free buyers. Hardware has ben exceptionally active, builders" material leading.

$18 suits are crowded over on $8.50 table AT 7HE 0 23 ( fles and prospect of early agreements as to other struggles have greatly improved the industrial euitlook, while agricultural conditions steadily improve. As these have been the only unfavorable Influences for some months, the prospects for active trade are decidedly encouraging. Preparations for unusually heavy fall sales are beinjr made and confidence grows stronger. Mills and furnaces that have been Idle on account of the usual overhauling resumed as rapidly as needed repairs could be made. Financial conditions are sound, the midyear dividend distributions producing no stringency, and speculation has been heavy for the season, both in securities and staples. Fig iron continues to command full prices, supplies falling below requirements and furnace deliveries failing to fill contracts. Scarcity of fuel is still the principal drawback, while car and motive power shortage are additional causes of delay. New orders are reported for distant delivery running about a year ahead. Prices are fully maintained for the raw material, but billets weakened slightly because of foreign selling. Importations have reached a considerable aggregate and more are expected. Structural material Is still the feature, new business being offered in great bulk. Railway needs do not diminish, despite the enormous amount of work tilready placed, and agricultural implement makers are fully employed. 1 THIS WEEK'S IIAMv CLEARINGS.

RAMPOLLA'S NOTE TO TAFT IX REPLY TO THE STATEMENT OF THE ADMINISTRATION'S ATTITUDE. Future Negotiations to Re Conducted at Manila Iletween the Apostolic Delegate and Taft. ROME, July 15. The Osservatore Romano, official organ of the Vatican, to-day publishes an official note as follows: "The initiative of the government of the United States with the object of arriving at an understanding with the Holy See about religious questions in the Philippines, in which it showed frankness and fine political tact, has reached a happy ending after negotiations conducted on both f-ides in a spirit of conciliation and friendly deference. The general lines of a common accord have been drawn up to the mutual satisfaction of the parties concerned and in conformity with the proposals made to the Holy See In a memorandum. These general lines will serve as a basis for further negotiations as regards details to be conducted and brought to a conclusion at Manila between an apostolic delegate and the Governor of the Philippines." The following note from Cardinal Rampolla was presented to Governor Taft tonight: "I hasten to acknowledge the receipt of the letter by which you kindly communicated to be the cablegram from Secretary Root, answering my note of July ?, which explained the counter project of the Vatican for the regulation of r ligious affairs in the Philippines. Whllo thanking you for this important communication, 1 am happy to assure you that the Holy See has learned with the liveliest satisfaction the high consideration in which Mr. Root, in the name of the feo.ernmcnt cf the United States, holds the fitness of the measures which the Vatican, independently of the solution of any econom-.c question, designed taking to ameliorate the religious situation in the achipelago and to co-operate in the pacification of the peoulo under Americm sovereignty. Th3 measure. are indicated in m memoran iu.n of June 21 and my l.Utr of July 9. These aeclaratlons of Mr. Hoot do honor to ;he deen political wisdom of the government of the United States, which knows how to appreciate. the happy Influence of the Holy See for the religious and c?vll elevation of thj people, especially Ca.Iclics. t "With equal satisfaction the Pontiff has taken into account the assurances of Secretary Root that the American authorities in the Philippines and at Washington will put forth all possible efforts to maintain the goo i understanding happily established with the authorities of the Catholic Church. On his part the Pontiff will not fail tc give the apostolic delegate soon to be sent to the Philippines the most precise instructions according to my former note. "The main lines for future negotiations Indicateel in the notes having been accepted by Secretary Root, the representative of the Vatican in the archipelago will enter into relations with the authorities In the Philippines on the four points Indicated byMr. Root at the end of his cablegram. The Holy See does not doubt that mutual confidence combined with the action of its representative and that of the American government will easily produce a happy, solution of the pending questions, inaugurating for that noble country a new era of peace and true progress. "It is my agreeable duty in ending this letter to be able to render homage to the very great courtesy and high capacity with which you have filled the delicate mission which the government and President of the United States confided to you. Willingly I admit that the favorable result of the negotiations must be attributed in very large part to your high personal qualities. While flattering myself that this first success will be a guarantee of the happy issue of ulterior negotiation in Manila, i have the honor to be, etc." Governor Taft was informed to-day that the Pope had fixed July 21 for his farewell audience. Governor Taft will start Saturday for Vallombrosa, near Florence, where he will stay with his family until Monday, when he will return for his audience with the Pope. Leo Displeased at Cardinals Conduct. LONDON, July 10. The Rome correspondent of the Daily Chronicle says the Pope is Intensely displeased at the way in which the commission of cardinals has conducted the negotiations with Judge Taft in the matter of the friars in the Philippines. "I learn from an authoritative source," says the correspondent, "that, besides annulling the procedure of the commission of cardinals, the Pope has summarily dissolved it, expressing his view that the American demands were reasonable and signifying his readiness to treat with Judge Taft personally."

One of Three 3Ien AVho Escaped "While Being? Tried for Robbery and "Were Recaptured Other Two Dead. TORONTO, Ontario, July lS.-Fred Lee Rico was hanged here to-day for the murder of Constable William Boyd on June 4, 1901. Rice was dressed In a neat-fitting suit of dark clothes, with a rose in his coat. He went to the gallows as calmly as if he were going to an evening party. When he awoke this morning he received his spiritual adviser and the two talked of religious matters for half an hour. Then Rice spent a ejuarter of an hour in silent prayer. When the hangman entered the cell he was received smilingly by the condemned man. Rice mounted the steps of the gallows without a tremor and his execution followed a few moments later. His body was handed over to his mother, who took it to his late home In Illinois. Rice, together with Frank Rutledge and Thomas Jones, were on trial for robbing the postoffice at Aurora. While being conveyed from the courthouse to the jail on the day of the murder a package In which were two revolvers was thrown into the carriage.' County Constables William Boyd and Walter Stewart were in the cab with the prisoners. In the struggle which 'followed for the package Rice got a revolver and shot Boyd. He then pointed it at Stewart, who gave up and told the prisoners to ."get out." As soon as they left Stewart drew his revolver and fired after the prisoners as they were boarding a passing car. One of the shots struck Jones in the groin and the arm. The prisoners were overpowered and taken to jail. Meanwhile Boyd had been taken to a hospital, where he died. A few days later Jones also was taken to a hospital, his arm amptuated, and he, too, died. The day after the fight Rice and Rutledge were brought into court and their trial was continued. resulting in their conviction and sentence to the Kingston penitentiary for twenty-one years. Rutledge committed suicide by hurling himself from a balcony In the jail to the stone floor below. A charge of murder was then laid against Ri"e and he was found guilty and sentenced to be hanged. Rice came from Champaign. 111., where his people are highly respected. Every effort had been made to have the death sentence commuted to life imprisonment. NEW EIRE-FIGHTING TRICKS. Hufce Cone to lie Dropped Over IllazJngr OH Well In Louislaun. JENNINGS, La., July IS. Little progress has been made toward extinguishing the fire at the Jennings oil well and it continues to burn with all the fury that it did on last Tuesday night, shortly after becoming ignited. A new plan for quenching the flames will soon be tried. Two derricks are being erected on either side of the fire and will be connected by a large cable. A huge cone is being made and will be connected to this cable and slid along until directly over the fire. Then, by means of a trip wire, the cone will be dropped over the fire, falling from sufficient height to bury itself in the ground and overcome the gas pressure of the well. Bymeans of pipes that extend from this cone it is hoped to control the pressure by permitting it to escape from these vents. The boilers will then be connected and a stream of water and steam will be turned on, which will flood the inclosure and the oil and water will run out of the drain ditches that have been prepared. Chemicals then will be turned on the flames and it is expected will finally conquer them. Loss of Five .Million Dollnrs. GUAYAQUIL, Ecuador, July 18.

DENIAL BY

Slit. ERVIK

SAYS HE NEVER OFFERED TO SETTLE FOR GREENE AND GAYNOR. Affidavits and Counter-Affidavits Read In Canadian Court at the Habeas Corpus Case Hearing. CHARGES BY MR. GREENE NVHO SAYS TIIE GOVERNMENT ATTORNEY ASKED $500,000, And Promised to Advise the Washington Authorities to Accept that Amount as Full Settlement. QUEBEC. July IS. To-day's proceedings in the Gaynor-Grcene case consisted principally in the filing of affidavits and counter affidavits and it was only a short time before the adjournment of the court that Mr. McMaster, for the prosecution, commenced his argument on nis motions to e;uash the habeas corpus writs Issued by Judge Caron on June 20 and 21 last. The proceedings were opened by Mr. Tascherau, counsel for the prisoners, who produced affidavits of Benjamin Greene to the effect that on May 17 Mr. Ervln called on him at the Windsor Hotel, Monlteal. when Ervln said to Greene: "If you will pay l'J)0,m to settle the whole matter I will go at once to Washington and advise its acceptance." Greene replied that he could n.it stand that, because he had not monoy enough to pay his half of the araoun:, but that Ervin said: "Gaynor has enough. I don't know where it is, but he has it." To this Greene said: "If you will say 1200,000 I will talk with Colonel Gaynor about it." Ervin replied, the affidavit continued: "That will not be enough." Greene then added: "What do you think of $300.000?" lie said: "I don't think that is enough, but you don't want to go through the fest of your life hunted wherever you go and you must remember that if you are extracited and are in Georgia it will be too late to make a settlement." Greene finally replied: "Well, anyway, I don't see how we can pay any money, because that would be an admission on our part that we have received money wrongfully; that we have not done." Greene swore tha: this talk of a settlement for 00,000 referred to the criminal proceedings against them and not to any civil action.' This affidavit was supported by another from Mr. J. F. Gaynor. Mr. McMaster read an affidavit signed by Marion Ervin, completely denying the allegations contained in the affidavits of Mr. Greene and Mr. Gaynor. Regarding the interview between Greene and himself. Mr. Ervin stated that on his return to his room on the afternoon of May 17 he lounl a note in which he recognized the handwriting of B. D. Greene, which note was as follows: "If you can call to see me at any time to-day you will do me a great favor." The original of this note Is in the possession of Mr. Ervin and was hown to Judge Caron. In response to that request he had gone to Greene's room and the latter opened the conversation by saying that while he knew that Ervln had been prosecuting him vigorously for over two years, he wanted to thank him for naving always treated him with personal consideration. He then said if the extradition proceedings at Montreal proceeded for any length of time it was probable he might desire to give bonds. Ervin's affidavit continued in substance: "I called his attention to the fact ihat ho and Gaynor had already forfeited bond3 in the sum of $400,000 each. He replied that he had left the United States because he had resolved never to be put in jail ae a convict; that he had come to Canada with the expectation that after a year or two his friends in the United States could effect a settlement of the civil claims cf the government against him and then he could probably obtain a dismissal of the criminal proceedings. He said that he had not given his personal word that he would not run off from the prosecution in Georgia, but he would pledge me his word of honor that if 1 would agree to his giving bond before Judge La Fontaine he wordd not run off. He then referred to the fact that the government had already tied up by civil proceedings half a million dollars of assets of what the government c!aimed was O. M. Carter's share in the fraud and asked me what was the exact amount the government claimed that he and John F. Gaynor had received as their share. I replied that we claimed that he and Gaynor had received $1,4j0,000 as their shares in the fraud. lie replied that he was in no position and had not sufficient means to meet such a claim, but that he and Gaynor would be willing to pay the government $; 00,000 in settlement of the entire litigation, to include the $S0,0O0 claimed on forfeited recognizances, which, he said, wero se cured by assets put up by Gaynor and himself with the sureties, but that if he settled the civil claims it must carry with it the dismissal of the criminal proceedings. I replied that I knew of no law for settling the criminal case, but if he made restitution of the government's actual loss I did not know what view of leniency mlcht be taken by the government; that I had no authority In the matter and that the amount he offered in settlement of the government's civil claims was not sufficiently large for me to recommend to the attorney general." The other affidavits practically contain the same statement as that mentioned last week in Mr. Ervin's reply to Mr. Taschereau's statement. Mr. McMaster also produced affidavits from Detectives 0'Kefe and Sloan, of Montreal, who swore that when the interview took place between Ervin and Greene only these two were in the room. Mr. McMaster. in conclusion, remarked that these affidavits were filed to contradict utterances made by Mr. Taschereau on July 11. Mr. McMaster then filed a new power of attorney signed by Attorney General Knox on July 11. The question of affidavits was then dropped and Mr. McMaster began his argument on his motion to quash the writs of habeas corpus. Mr. McMaster in continuing his argument, cited numerous authorities in support of his motion to quash the writs. He suggested an adjournment until Tuesday next, but Mr. Stuart, of counsel for the United States, objected, as he was ready to continue. There are still five addresses to be made. NO WORD FROM TRACY. Sheriff Cinllhee Returned to Seattle Without the Convict's Scalp. SEATTLE, Wash., July 15. Not a word has been heard of Harry Tracy, the escaped convict, since he left the cabin on Sawyer lake early yesterday morning.
