Nkw Yobk, Oct 19.—Dun’s comrnercial review issued to-day, says: Failures for October thus far cover liabilities of 83,925,599, of which 81,586,205 were of manufacturing and 92,185,514 of trading concerns. Failures for the week have been 268 in the United States, against 253 last year, and 46 in Canada against 43 last year. The events of the week are promising in nature, though the speculative markets are not entirely encouraging. The great advance in cotton had arrested exports and so deranged exchanges that shipments of gold were for a time apprehended, but the break in the market indicates that the natural movement of the product may noon be restored. The week has -brought a little further decline in iron and steel products, in hides and leather, and a more yielding tone in boots and shoes. Wheat does not go out freely, and tli£ attempt to advance priees on Monday was followed by an immediate decline. The Atlantic exports, flour included, have been in the past three weeks 4,558,455 bushels# against 7,248,111 last year. Some of the railroads report large gains in earniugs, but on the whole returns are still 0.7 per cent, smaller .than in in 1892, though 4.9 larger than last year. Textile manufactures have strong markets for materials to support them, but scarcely any advauoe is seen this week in cotton goods, though the rise for the month has averaged 4.1 per cent. The price of some worsteds h&ave been advanced because advanced abroad, but it is as questionable as ever how far the market can be held by the dbmeslic makers, and woolen manufacturers have """'‘tw'Taee not only foreign competition, but un especial tendency of popular demand toward worsted fabrics. {Sales of wool, 21,209,700 pounds at the three chief markets, agaiust 13,702,800 in 1893, greatly exceed actual • consumption.

' Clearings for the past week are 23.3 per cent, larger than last year, but 14.7 percent, lass than in 1S92. THE BATTLESHIP INDIANA. %'ory Satisfactory Performance on Her Trial Trip—Earned a Bonus. Boston, Oct. 19.—In her official trial trip between Cape Ann and Boone island, a distance of thirty-one knots, the battleship Indiana made an average of 15.61 knots for four hours. This is 61-100 knots above the speed required by the government, and as there was a premium offered of 825,000 lor every quarter knot over fifteen, the ’ Cramps will receive 850,000 as a bonus in excess of the contract price offered. The wery satisfactory speed developed by the Indiana is secondary to the wonderful way in which the machinery worked. It was a perfect day for a trial trip. The atmosphere was brilliantly clear, and the breeze that was blowing only had weight enough to crest the sea with little whitecaps. At 10 o’clock the Iudiana approached " the starting line, and at 10:03:13>£ she , was off. The run to Boone island was made against the tide and consumed two hours, two minutes and seven seconds, the ship passing the last stake boat at 12:05. The average speed for the thirty-one knots was at the rate of 15:24 knots per hour. The speed to Boone island was disappointing, but on l the way back was noticeably greater, p It was 2:30:31 when the trial was over. The engineer officers of the trial board were surprised at the wonderful performance of the engines, j Not the ^lightest-difficulty developed, j and the engineers were unanimous in j the opinion that the engines were the j best they have ever handled.

During the last fifteen minutes of ! the run 11,800 horsepower was devel- j oped. The average horsepower devel- j oped, however, was 9,700, which was ' 700 more than required by the goverutnent. The maximum revolutions of the screws were 1:81, and the average revolutions were between 128 and 130. The average steam pressure at the boilers was 163, and at the engines 161. It is expected the Indiana will go into commission about the first of next month. Cabinet Meeting. Washington, Oct. 19.—The first cabinet meeting since the president’s return was held yesterday, all the members being present. The meeting lasted two and a half hours. The Cuban situation and many . matters of foreign policy as well as of domestic administration occupied the attention Of the president and his confidential advisers. ® Each cabinet officer carried over a portfolio filled with papers requiring "the president’s consideration, and notwithstanding the unusual length of the isession, a large pile of documents remained unacted upon when the cabinet adjourned. As the president is going to Atlanta, there will no further meeting until after his return. DESERTED HER CHILDREN ! -To Ron Away with Her Lover—Arrested and To lew u Home. Buffalo, N. Y., Oct. 19.—Mrs. Dollie Gish, 27 years old, of Lafayette, 0.,was arrested here Thursday night, charged with deserting her children. She had come here in advance of her lover George W. Adams, with whom she had planned an elopement. Adams was, however, arrested in Lafayette Thursday, and gave the address of Mrs. Gish. Samuel J. Henshaw, Mrs. Gish’s father, arrived here yesterday and took her home.

CONCERNING STRIKES. Tenth Annual Heport of Carroll D. Wright. Commissioner of Labor—Statistic* of In-terest-Cost to ^Employers and Employes— I’erceot**** SucceesfuL Washington, Oct. 21.—In his tenth tnnual report, devoted to strikes and lockouts, which has just been completed, Carroll D. Wright, commissioner labor, computes that the loss to employes in establishments in whieh lookouts and strikes occurred during the thirteen and one-half years ending June 30, 18W, amounted to $190.403,r 382, and to employers to 894,325,837. The loss to employes on account of strikes was $103,807,806 and on account of lockouts^26,685,516; to employers, on account in strikes, $83,590,380, and on account of lockouts, $12,235,431. The number of establishments involved in strikes in this period was 69,167, and the number of persons thrown out of employment by reason of strikes, 3,774,406, making au average loss to the employer of each establishment of $2,303, and to each person of $14. The number of establishments involved in lockouts was 6,007. and the I number of persons locked out 306,690. These persons lost an average of $73 each. The assistance given to strikers and the subjects of lockouts during the period amounted, as fpr as ascertainable, to $13,438,794, or a little over 7 i er cent, of the total loss to employes. This report will cover about 1,200 pages and give all the information as- | certuinable concerning strikes and | lockouts for the seven and a half years I ending June 30, 1394, especially covi ©red by the report. It, however, inj eludes the figures given in a previous report, on the saute subject, closing | with 1886. The report is largely de- i ; voted to tables, showing the causes, ! duration, location and cost of these ! labor disturbances and also gives many j other facts of interest bearing upon strikes and lockouts. Oue of the most important tables • given is that relating to the cause of strikes. This statement shows that more than a fourth of them were I caused by a refusal to accede to a de- | maud for increases of wages, over 13 ! per cent, for a refusal to concede a re- j ductiou of hours, and more tiian 8 per I cent, were caused by the determination j of employers to reduce wages. Three I thousaud six hundred and twenty, or !

aiuiUM o per ccuu ui uie were caused by sympathetic action with ! other strikes, and 1,68$ were occasioned by the employment of nonunion men. The industries most affected by strikes in the last seven and a half years were the * building ! trades, with 20,765 establishments inj volved. After these, iu the order of ; importance, come coal and coke, cloth- ; mg', tobacco, food preparations, stone ! quarrying, eta Out of a total of 10,488 strikes in the | entire country for this period, 4,909, or to exceed 56 percent., occurred in 26 of the principal cities, while of the establishments involved in lockouts over 61 per cent, occurred in these cities. Fif-ty-nine per cent, of the establishments engage^ in strikes were closed on an average of 22 days, and 64 per cent, of those eugaged in lockouts for an average of 35 days, the loss of time in other cases being ouly nominal. In each case there were a few establishments closed permanently. Success was gained by the employes in over 43 per cent, of the strikes, partial success irf1 over 10 per cent., while the retraining 47 per cent, were failures* Over 48 per cent, of the lockouts succeeded completely and ?ver lO per cent, partially. The others were fail- | ures. In the successful strikes, 669,993 persons were thrown out of employment, 316,801 in those partially successful and 1,400.988 in those which failed- Of the total number of persons thrown out of employment by the strikes in the entire period of 133^ years, 6.78 percent, were females, and by lockouts, 22.53. Of the 10,4j£ strikes which occurred in the se.veu.aud a half j^ears especial-.! ly covered by the present report, 7,295 were ordered by la opr organizations, ! while of the 442 lockouts of this period, only 81 were ordered by prganiza- i tions of employers.

Sixty-niue per cent, of all the strikes and per cent, of all the lockouts of : the seveu-aud-a-half-year period treated of occurred in the live states of Illinois, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Massachusetts, Illinois taking the lead of all the states of the Union. THE DISASTER IN LA PAZ. Thirty Persons Drowued in the Town of Cuilaean. San Fkancisco, Oct. 31.—Further details have been received of the terrible storm which recently destroyed La j Paz. It is now reported that the interior town of Cuilaean, state of Sica- j loa, Mexico, was swept by the flood and nearly thirty persons drowned. Cuilaean has a population of over 10,000 people and contains the state buildings of Sinaloa. HEAVY LOSS Paused by an laceudlary Fire at Kirksvllle. Mo. Kirksvxllk. Mo.. Oct 02.—The grain and warehouse of H. A. Kellogg, of this city, was burned Friday night, caused by incendiarism. The building originally cost S6.00U. There were S,000 or 4,000 bushels of timothy, wheat oats and other grains burned. The insurance on the building is 93,000; none on contents. MOONSHINE RAID In Btouroe County, W. Xm_Four Illicit nittilleni Captured. T C&NTBAL City, \V. Va., Oct 30.—For several months a number of moonshine stills have been in operation on Green Brier river in Monroe county, and all efforts to capture the illicit distillers proved futile up to Friday night United States Marshal M. B. Vinson and a posse raided the camp at midnight and captured J; A. Poole, Tom Sere water, James Quinlan and Uarry Torrence, while three others made their escape

FIGURES FOR M’KINLEY. Uubhh Inert— In Cuttni Collection* Cndcr the Reform Tariff. The import business still continues large and the rush at the custom house is constantly increasing. Collector Kilbreth’s big force of deputies and clerks hare all they can do to handle the entries. The enemies of tariff reform, however, declare that they see nothing to surprise them in these facts. They say that it is a natural sequence that the reduction of the tariff should increase the volume of imports. But they say that the government must sustain itself, and that the Wilson bill will not bring sufficient revenue. To these gentlemen Cashier Northrop, of the custom house, has the following answer to make: ‘‘The custom house at the port of New York collects about 80 per cent, of the revenue from imports of the entire United States. The collections hero are increasing to such an extent that there is every promise that the Wilson bill will furnish as much if not more revenue than did the McKinley bill. The last three months have been extremely encouraging, and a comparison between them and the corresponding months of 1804 may open the eyes of some of the gentlemen of the opposition. “For instance, the collections at this port during July, 1804, were $6,216,146.21, and those for July, 1805, were $10,600,666.66: In August past we collected $10,372,078.41, and in August, 1804, the collections were $8,780,715.78. “The Wilson bill went-into effect on August 28,1804. The revenues collected for *the month following Were $0,741,-. 404.82. The opposition asserted that there was nothing to be surprised at in the fact that the receipts increased $1,000,000 over the preceding month. They asserted that importers had purposely held back their entries in order to take advantage of tariff reduction. That is probably true, but the imports for September, *1805, show a revenue of $0,834,072.56, an increase of $02,667.74.*t Mr. Northrop, at the request of the World, has prepared the following interesting table comparing the customs receipts at the port of New York for twelve months of 189S-1S04 under the McKinley bill with the corresponding months of 1894-1895, during the last ten months of which the Wilson bill was in force. It is as follows:

Tiq su e recent .uupolis Victory In Insignificance of the dtanat Following general democratic success in the town election^ of Connecticut comes a democratic triumph of great significance. Indianapolis is in Marion county, Indiana. This county in 1893 gave Cleveland about nine hundred votes more than Harrfcop, bht at the supceediag municipal election flie republicans cho§e their candidate for mayor loy a very large majority. The charter election this year was conducted with great vigor. Friends of Gen. Harrison insisted that there must be republican success in order to present his name at the national nominating convention with the eclat that would come from decided home support. The republican candidate had not been friendly to Mr. Harrison, but the matter had been smoothed over and the ex-president himself had made a declaration in favor of the candidacy of the republican nominee. Harrison himself was an early voter. The result, as necessarily admitted by republican journals, was the worst overthrow in a city election ever recorded in the history of Indianapolis. The democrats triumphantly electing their candidate for the mayoralty, Mr. Taggart, who is also chairman of the state democratic committee, have made a net gain of eight thousand. Democratic success was not confined to the head of the ticket. It included wide sweep in the wards, making the municipal body overwhelmingly democratic.

rnese are dul i ore runners oi xne sweeping democratic viatories that are to be recorded everywhere this fall. The period of depression is passed. The people discern that the panic resulting in low commercial conditions was not chargeable upon the administration in power at Washington, but upon the party which passed the Sherman and McKinley laws. The discouragement to democracy in 1894 is removed. Democrats are reasserting themselves everywhere. If they shall carry New York this fall, backing it with success elsewhere, their triumph in the presidential elec* tion in 1896 will be assured.—Chicago Chronicle. A Great Blessing. That the removal of the duty from wool has proved a great blessing is shown conclusively by the large increase in the quantity imported. In the seven months ending July, 1894, the imports of raw wool were 86,907,704 pounds, valued at $4,020,669; in the corresponding seven months under the new tariff the imports were 141,762,923 pounds, valued at $19,063,161. Moreover, during the first period were 36,372,660 pounds, consisting of coarse carpet wool, valued at $3,205,638, leaving only 10,635,044, valued at $1,815,041, of clothing wool, while during the latter period the wool that was to be made into clothing was 87,667,010 pounds, valued at $13,990,745. It needs ho argument to show under which condition of af'fairs the manufacturers and consumers !of clothing were the better off.—Buffalo (N. Y.) Courier. ■ ’ 1

EXPORTS AND MANUFACTURES. Tk« Wilson Tariff Op«*lnx Up fo»l|» lUrk«ti for Aanina Goods. The exports of manufactured (roods from the United States for the first eight months of 1895 were of the value of $139,440,$64. as against $118,000,000 in the corresponding months of 1894. At this rate the exports of the entire year i would amount to $194,500,000, a gain of $17,000,000 over the previous year. This is about $11,000,000 more than the exports of any previous year. In 1893 our | exports of manufactured goods were ! only 15.01 per cent, of our total exI ports; last year they were 23.14 uer ; cent. This year’s exports show a large in- | crease in agricultural implements, rna- | chinery, chemicals, locomotives, sew- | ing machines, boots and shoes, refined mineral oil and manufactures of tobac* ■ oo. The increase in the exports of locoi motives approximates 200 per cent. In some of the articles the exports as yet : are small, but the figures show a liand- ! some percentage of growth. In others i the exports run up to many millions. ! It is worthy of remark that in many i cases our exports are kept down by i other circumstances than an inability j to compete with foreign prices. In the case of 13,000 tons of iron pipe wanted for the city of Tokio, Japan, a company at Bessemer, j^la-j bid $1.50 per ton lower than t&e Scotch Company to which the contract was awarded. The American company failed to get the contract owing to differences as to details, such as the time of delivery, cost of inspection, and the like. The incident showed, however, that Americans were able to compete with foreigners in this class of goods, so far as co6t of production is concerned. The protectionists have a good deal to say about the increase of imports and the falling off of agricultural exports, which last is due to short crops, but are discreetly silent with reference to the increase of our manufacturing exports, which demonstrates the ability of many manufacturers that are highly protected to compete in the markets of the world. This ability has been strengthened greatly by the new tariff, which has given our manufactures j cheaper materials. The manufacturers themselves are coming to a realization of the need of wider markets. To secure these more is necessary than cheap production. Many of our consuls report that what is chiefly needed is a more careful study of the needs of foreign markets, so as to produce goods that are adapted to the tastes and habits of those who consume them.-r-Louisville Courier-Journal. !

THE DOMINATING SPIRIT. Which Baled the Keed-McEinley ConCreei of 1890, That is a qualified expression whick comes from the Massachusetts republicans on the tariff question. They want steps taken toward tariff revision, but insist that they do not want the republican party committed to any specific measure r- or any particular policy moving1 in that direction. If the Massachusetts republicans had mustered enough candor to say publicly what the men who manipulated them were thinking, it would have been such a deliverance as this: “Don’t reaffirm the principle of the McKinley law in specific phrase and exact degree. . Th9 country ha§ repudiated it once and will certainly do so again, and the republican party as well if it again de1 dares for it. And do not nominate McKinley., The most Conservative tariff platform it would be possible to make would be unavailing to save us from defeat if the nomination of McKinley were made its accompaniment. There is a trick worth a dozen of that. Declare for protection of American industry and American labor in general and tumultuous terms. Nominate on that platform some man who is entirely colorless on the question, and then, if we win, we can pass a law even more drastic than the McKinley bill made, which our president will sign and through which our friends who have contributed campaign funds can get their money back.” Massachusetts republicans have never been particularly friendly to I Maine, candidates for the presidency, [ yet it"is almost impossible to avoid the | conclusion that this time they are act- | ing in the interest of Mr. Thomas Reed. But is not Reed as deep in pro'Section mud as McKinley is in the mire 1 of that odious principle of government? Reed was the dominating spirit of the Reed-McKinley congress of 1890.—St. Louis Republic.

PRESS OPINIONS. -Gen. Benjamin Harrison, after reading the Indianapolis election returns: “Well, I told you I wasn’t a candidate.” — Louisville Courier-Jour-nal. -A republican statesman whose own town goes democratic in 1895 can hardly expect to be nominated for president in 1896.—St. Louis GlobeDemocrat (Rep.). -The Tom Reed boom has hardly out-grown New England and the precincts of the house of representatives. It will need a parachute to come over the Alleghenies.—St. Louis Republic. -According to the official report, the wool clip in the United States j for this year is but a trifle less than that for 1894 and 1693, and ; larger than any other year since 1886. And yet the McKinleyites continue to complain that the new tariff has destroyed the American wool industry.— Louisville Courier-Journal. -Republican organs thrdughout the country that have some political shrewdness and foresight are already apologizing for what they anticipate in Ohio this fall. They have seen the handwriting on the wall and they are preparing to let themselves down as lightly as possible when the predicted calamity comes. It is their mature conelusion that there will be a disproportionately large falling off in the republican majority in McKinley’s own state. This concession reflects credit upon their judgment, but is made with a ; view to meeting the inevitable with some grace and equanimity when it is encountered.—Detroit Free Press. ■

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE. —Sand Tarta—One cup of super, one evp of butter, three egg* well beaten, just enough flour to roll out thin-— Womankind. —Breakfast Gems.—One pint of flour sifted with one heaping teaspoon of baking-powder; mUf with one beaten egg, one pint of sweet milk and a salt spoon of salt. Beat together thorough* ly and bake in hot greased gem irons. —Ginger Pudding.—Qne'cup of molasses, one cup of milk, one teaspoonful of soda, one teaspoonful of mixed spice, one tablespoonful of ginge^onehalf tablespoonful of butter, one teaspoonful of salt. Flour to make the consistency of soft gingerbread. BoiA three hours.—Boston Budget. —Quince Pie.—Peel, core and stew quinces until soft, then press through a colander. Sweeten to taste and then bake in one crust. Cover the top with a maringue made of the beaten whites of two eggs and two tablespoonfuls of sugar. Brown slightly in the oven. It may be made of half apple and half quince—Home. —For Burns.—Balsam of copaiba and i linseed oil, in equaf parts, applied directly to the burn will stop the pain instantly and facilitate recovery. Cotton saturated with oil may then be placed about the burned parts as a J dressing. The application excludes the air from the burned tissues, and so relieves the pain at once.—Christian Inquirer.

veal Loaf.—<_ op and pound to a paste three pounds of the fat and lean of a leg of veaL Cooked meat mar be used, but raw meatmakes a more juicy dish. Add six butter crackers, pounded to a powder, and a lump of butter as big as an egg, a teaspoonful of pepper, a pinch of eloves, a tablespoonful of salt, a' teaspoonful of minced parsley, and, finally, Jjtro well-beaten eggs. Work the whole mass into a loaf. Rub it well with softened butter, and bake it on a rack in a dripping-pan, with i water in the bottom to catch the drippings. Baste the loaf once in fifteen ' minutes. If cooked veal is used, add a ! cup of brown gravy to the other ingredients in a veal loaf, and cook it only one hour. Cook raw veal an hour and a half or two hours, or until thoroughj ly done. When the loaf is cold, cut it ! into the thinnest slices.—Housekeeper. I —Potato Salad.—This received great i praise. Over the yolks of two eggs in I a bowl, pour two tablespoonfuls of boiling vinegar. Set the bowl in boiling water, and stir till the mixture thickens, then beat in gradually a tablespoonful of butter. When cold add a teaspoonful of mixed cayenne pepper and salt in the proportion of one part pepper to six of salt, half a teaspoonful of dry mustard wet to a paste with cold water, and half an onion chopped fine. Mix . this dressing gently with a pint ol thinly-sliced cold potatoes. In their season a few sliced cucumbers, a little chopped cabbagertjr celery, a little more vinegar, with a few tablespoonfuls of slightly acid cream added to the above, make a still more delicious sal ad.—Ohio Farmer. COMING STYLES. What Will be Worn Next Winter by Women of Fuhlou. Fashions for the coming winter are going to shovy many marked departures from the styles of the past fe iv months, and not the least conspicuous new feature will be the presence of what may be called “shepherdess” styles. In some of these the over part of the skirt is looped up so that a petticoat shows all around. The petticoat may be short enough to show high, red-heeled slippers and their big instep rosettes. The over part of the gown is one with the bodice and is made in big flowered silk, the petticoat a contrasting satin. The neck is cut square, the sleeves are close fitting over the shoulder? and below the elbow are finished with a frill that ! sets out jauntily. A fichu may be worn with this rig to take from the plainness at the shoulder, but women ; are sure to grow accustomed to this plainness very soon, odd as it will look at first.

Just so long as tnere is tne sngntest suggestion of anything less than winter’s rigor many of the features of women’s dress that have prevailed in sumhaer will hold correctness. Sleeves of billowy soft stuffs, swirling skirts, beribboned throats and wide he ms grew more extravagant as summer waned, and will not surrender their vogue easily. When they finally do give up the losing contest there will be one comfort—the fact that there is lots of material in these dresses, and ways will appear of “making over” that will gladden many hearts. Though ere pons are commonly said to have had their day, some of the finest and costliest examples of this weave are still to be found in the stores. The skirt of one dress is of this rich stuff, and is topped by a blouse waist of silk, checked finely and faintly with red and white. For it the silk is gathered at neck and waist, and is banded at the top with two rows of white Valenciennes lace. It fastens invisibly at the side and has a ribbon collar with rosette garniture. The trimming consists of bretelles, belt and sleeve finishing of red satin ribbon, dotted with bows of the same on the shoulders.—Chicago Intel Ocean. _ - " - Punishing Children. Moral suasion may do very well foi older children, but I never could appreciate its powers during babyhood, I read the experience recently of a mother who was a strong believer in the ‘ Come away, baby; there’s a darling, do,” theory,butnerown little one began to creep about. Like other babies, he investigated everything within reach, being especially attracted by the books which he could reach am1 pull to the floor. For awhile, the mother patiently replaced the books and harried baby away. Just as often he went back again, until patience ceased to be a virtue. Then theory gave way to something more practical—the mischievous little hands were pnnished—> and the books were left in peace.— Womankind.
