Dun & Co.’s weekly review of trade says: “Nothing appears in business or in money markets to prevent continuance of the heaviest trade ever transacted at good profits.

Nothing but industrial depression is left to excite apprehension, but the industries are meeting something very unlike depression. The kind of ‘lull’ that; appears in the iron market rejoices manufacturers, because they are crowded far ahead with orders. The coke production is still close to the maximum. London speculation lifted tin to 25% cents, and copper is very strong and scarce at 18% cents for lake.

GOVERNOR OGLESBY DEAD.

Illinois’ Dearest Veteran Statesman* soldier Passes Away. Richard J. Oglesby, thrice Governor of Illinois, once the State’s representative in the upper Ijouse of Congress, and one of the few men left who were prominent in political and civic life in tbe West during the threatened days of the rebellion, died at his home on his farm jiear Elkhart Monday. Mr. Oglesby’s death was the result of an attack of vertigo, an ailment from which }ie had long been a sufferer. A sudden attack of the disease overcame him while he was in.the bathroom of his bouse. In falling his head struck a piece of furniture. Concussion of the brain was caused and he died without regaiuiug consciousness. Gov. Oglesby had been failing in health eince the spring of 1895. when he was tak-

en with an attack of the grip and was for nearly three months confined to his home. From this attack he rallied finally, but never fully regained his formef strength. Of late he had appeared to be in fair health and during the winter was not confined to his home except by the bad weather. His trembling walk showed the weakness of the bossy. He bad complained of nothing save his weakness, and there was nothing to indicate anything dangerous in his condition. In the death of Richard J. Oglesby the State of Illinois loses one of the last of tbe group of great men who took so prominent a part in the political affairrbf tbe State during and immediately after the civil war. Like Yates, the great war Governor of the State, and like Beveridge and Palmer, he had himself borne arms in the service of the Union and had done in the field under Grant the work that Lincoln was designing at Washington. His war record was conspicuously brilliant and he left the field, wounded and unfit for further service, with the rank of major general. His eligibility for the post of Governor was instantly recognized. It was his deserved distinction to be elected Governor three times, in 1864, again in 1872 and again in 1884, although he resigned at the beginning of bis second term in order to accept a seat in the United States Senate. Gov. Oglesby’s record was one in which his State mayjustly take pride. He was a man of sterling integrity, solid judgment and considerable acuteness of perception. He was an earnest follower of the party, but kept his own independent judgment upbn pending issues. The regret whi&b mast be felt at his death will be softened by tbe recognition of the fact that hla long life was well rounded with nsefnl activities on behalf, of State and nation. Ha was one of the men whose life and have added to the reputation and hono> of Illinois.

HALE’S BRIGADE MEETS ENEMY.

In the Encasement, Six Americans - Arc Killed and Twelve Wonnded. Manila advices say that Gen. Hale’s brigade, consisting of the Nebraska, lowa and South Dakota regiments, with three guns, which left Maloios Monday, followed the west bank of tbe Rio Grande rivet to a ford. Many small bands of ivbels were encountered, and during the afternoon the Americans discovered several hundred of. the enemy entrenched near Pulilan, north of Quingano. Our troops attacked the rebels, losing six men killed and twelve wounded. Gen. Hale’s troops claim that nearly 200 dead natives were counted along tbs., country traversed. Among the dead was a Spanish captain. The South Dakota regiment bore the brunt of the fighting and had five men killed and nine wonnded. The temperature was 04 and severs! cases of suustroke were reported. Gens. McArthur and Wheaton, with the Montana regiment, advanced to the left of the railroad and the Kansas regiment moved forward to the right, north of Maloios. They bad with them a long supply train, with armed cars in front, carrying two Gatling and rapid-fire guna and the six-pounder which did such execution at the capture of Maloios. -The insurgents attempted to d&troy the railroad bridge outside of Calnmpit and succeeded in badly warping the iron framework. As soon as the soldiers left the Filipino capital natives began flocking in, as they did at Santa Cruz, before the last boat of Gen. Lawton’s expedition had tailed. Tbe American army is compelled to abandon all towns when an onward movement is commenced because of insufficient men to garrison them. This gives tbe Filipino leaders a framework upon which to spin stories of American defeat. The American commanders have left great stores of rice at Maloios, which they have been distributing to the natives and Chinameu daily, of whom there were 200 to 800, nearly all of whom remained during the occupation, but who followed the American army out of the place or who took? trains going In the direction of Manila, fearing that, the natives would, kill them. These refugees included soma of the wealthiest dtiaens of tha place.
