Until tlie other day Willie Raymond, 3 years old, was the master of his parents’ home at 1428 Baltic avenue, Atlantic City. Upon the arrival of a baby sister during the forenoon little Willie became exceedingly jealous of the attention bestowed upon the infant by the other members of the household, and, awaiting a favorable opportunity, he stabbed the baby with a knife, inflicting u dangerous wound. Two masked men armed with revolvers held up a crowded electric car of the Old Colony Street Railway Company on Washington street, near Lagrange, in West Roxbury, Mass., drove off a policeman with a shower of bullets, and took to their heels without waiting to rob the passengers. The oar was filled with passengers. The roiito is through a thickly wooded district, where houses, electric lights and policemen are scarce. Two persons perished and several were injured in a fire which gutted the building at 3<>4 Pearl street, New Y’ork, occupied by the Eureka Bedding Company. The fire started on the first floor near a pile of stair pads. A boy was sweeping loose cotton over the floor, and it is supposed that he swept the stuff over a lighted cigar or cigarette stub. The cotton burst into a blaze, the stair pads were sot afire and in nn instant the fire spread over tlie first floor and ascended to tlie upper floors. A panic ensued, and. disregarding the fire escapes, many of the employes jumped from rear windows to the roof of an extension. The rush of immigrants to New Y’ork, which has signalized the first four months of the year, reached a climax in one week recently, during which time 25,120 were brought from the various European ports. Tlie total number of immigrants arriving for the four mouths ending April 30 was 178,004, an excess of more than 30,000 over any previous year for the same period. By months the record this year is: January, 18,213; February, 20.519; March, 57,175; April, 73,667. When it is mentioned that the total number lauding here last year was 438,868 it will be seen that 1902 has started out as a record breaker. No fewer than 12,310 immigrants were landed at Ellis Island in one day.

Eighty-four Moro prisoners, under juard at Manila, made an attempt to .’scape. At a preconcerted signal they ;ot between the soldiers forming the guard and a company at dinner.

The result was accomplished by a gallant assault on the principal Moro fort and Its capture after a number of the lending Moros had been killed. J. J. Hill, the railway magnate, says the injunction to control rates will be futile, and that only roads that are best equipped and best suited will get traffic. He speaks for what he calls “inactfve” competition, denounces pooling, and declares that roads that cannot carry freight have no right to demand part of the earnings of another rond. Labor strikes were numerous throughout the United States the other day, but the total number of men who went out did not reach the figures predicted by union leaders. The total number of strikers reported at various points amounts to about 25,000 men in all. The chief points of disturbance are in the East, Pittsburg leading with about 8,000 men out. Just before departing for Scotland Andrew Carnegie announced to President YV. N. Frew of the board ot trustees of Carnegie Institute thnt he had completed a new list ot twenty libraries which he had given to various cities in the United States. The latest list of gifts will amount to over $1,000,000 and the libraries will be located in cit'es of below th* third class.

COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL

FT “ ”~1 “Two large strikes, schedN6V lOFK. ule<l t 0 commence on May 1,1 *l, were averted, at least temporarily, and a number of smaller ones were settled, but many new controversies have begun. This labor factor is the only seriously unfavorable ono in the industrial situation, exerting considerable influence over the volume of transactions, and also tending to unsettle confidence. In seasonable merchandise, especially dry goods and clothing, wanner weather has stimulated dealings, while outdoor work is prosecuted vigorously. Collections are more prompt as a rule, fewer extensions being asked. Shipments are less delayed by traffic congestion, and railway earnings thus far reported for April exceed last year’s by 7.2 per cent.” R. G. Dun & Co. thus sum up trade conditions in their weekly review. The review continues: Consumers of finished steel products are compelled to place orders subject to the-convenience of manufacturers, and it is the exception when any nearby deliveries are promised. An unprecedented amount of railway work is being done, while the erection of new buildings would be much more extensive if material were available. This structural work is on a record-breaking scale and promises relief to the situation hereafter, since most of the plants under construction will add to the productive capacity when completed. Pig iron has worked up to a higher point, Bessemer commanding S2O at Pittsburg on deliveries within Six months, owing to the full contracts held by the furnaces. Foreign dealers have shown much wisdom by making concessions in this market. Cereal prices have been less inflated by speculation than they were last week, yet a high level was maintained, and only slight reactions occurred. The general tenor of crop news was much more encouraging, aside from Kansas dispatches, which indicate that wheat needs moisture, although corn and oats have good prospects. Good foreign crop conditions were calculated to weaken the tone, yet exports of wheat from the United States, flour included, amounted to 5,579,637 bushels, against 4,132,357 a year ago. Recent attractive prices have brought corn to market more freely than in preceding weeks, but receipts of 1.686,050 bushels for the week fall far short of the 2.378,564 in the same week last year. The comparison as to Atlantic exports is still more striking, only 154.704 bushels going out during the week, against 2,560,211 a year ago. It was hardly to be exClliCdQO. pected that the week 8 would pass without a more serious turn in the labor situation. Trouble has been in the air for a time and the beginning of the new month brought the culmination of some long standing disputes. Strikes occurred in many places, yet, in the main, they were local troubles involving no great body of men. It is gratifying to note an exceptional freedom from the bitterness that too often characterizes disputes between capital and labor, a tendency to avoid demonstrations liable to lead to violence, and a marked disposition to adjust the differences by arbitration. The building trades have suffered, and in some places new building plans have been hung up pending a settlement. This delay to spring building is the most serious aspect so far. In all the cities of the interior bank clearings are running far ahead of last year. Deliveries of wheat by elevators to millers on May contract helped swell the total. The grain markets held between the counter influences of unresponsive foreign markets and home conditions, tending to make a high price range. In the Northwest the season is backward. The fact that the crop will start uneven and generally late is not necessarily bad in Itself, as one of the largest wheat crops ever raised in the
