DUHS COMMERCIAL REVIEW. CUKrM for November ud for the Past Week—(internment Monthly Crop Report* w Caual, CaotR Vncertalnt * and tpccnlHtloa on to Volume—Large Output •f PH Iron—11 nary Imports of Woolen Qundl. Btc. Nkw York, Not. 16.—R. 0. Dnn A Co. say to-day in their weekly review •of trade: Failures in the first week of Novetn’ber amounted to $3,971,4-75, against iS,844,4*5 last year, and for October show liabilities of $16,637,931, against #11,127,396 last year and $24,954,132 in 1893. For the past week the failures have been 283 in the United States, against $76 last year, and 49 in Canada, against

last year. The scare about gold exports had no real significance and although 92,*50,000 more will go out, the stock market has been recovering. On the whole •the money market has shown very unusual strength and steadiness for the fall season. The government monthly crop report has caused as usual, rather more uncertainty as to its interpretation than previously existed as to crops. The, cotton statement lacking account of acreage on ■which it is based, was of only speculative value, and the mere rumor that Mr. Neill had reduced his estimate of the crop actually weighed more than the official estimate. Receipts from plantation, 35 per cent, less than last lyeur, if of value, would indicate a crop over 7,300,000 bales; but organization to hold back the crop renders the •comparison of less use. Wheat perplexes the oldest inhabitant. There is really little reason to* expect a yield larger than last year’s, but western receipts, 8,203,864 bushels, against 4,036,($39 last year, do not mean scarcity bf wheat. The decline, nearly 1 cent, is not much, but does not onean confidence in renewed advance. Corn is scarcely lower, but the supply will largely exceed all home aud foreign demands. , The output of pig iron November 1, was 217,306 tous weekly, about 10 per( centvjnrger than ever before, and continuance of the same production for ;six weeks more would make the half year’s output 5,300,000 tons or more, about 450,000 tons greater than in any other half year.

The woolen manufacture has met this year with two difficulties, the remarkable demand for clay worsteds, which has encouraged an advance of 10 per cent, in price and the heavy imports of woolen (foods, which have amounted for nine months of the ■current year to 58.456,402 pounds, agaiust 12,000,068 last year. But sales of wool continue large, for two weeks of November 12,192,950 pounds, in spite of the fact that part of the works are elosed or working only part force. The cotton mills are funning well and find a very good demaud for products, though it is not of late fully sustained. Print cloths have ■declined a shade. The volume of domestic trade appears from clearinghouse exchanges 17 per cent, larger than last year, but 11.4 per cent, smaller than in 1892. The earnings of railroads, 3s3 per cent, greater tiiau last year for the first week of November and' and 2.9 per cent, less than in 1892, are better than for the previous four weeks, and tonnuge movements are 19 per cent larger thau in any previous year. THE ~BAD ARMENIANS ‘Vomt'antl.v Making Trouble tar the Inno. ««ut Turks—Telegram from the. Porte, Kent Oat for the Purpose of Hiindlug the K.vesof the World to the lteal State of Affairs in the Tottering Kingdom. Washington, Nov. 19.--The Turkish legation here received the following telegram from the sublime porte under Thursday’s date: ^ The Armenian revolutionists of Si•vas, after taking out of their shops all merchandise, attacked the Mussulmans. They fired from the windows of their houses and wounded severely one soldier. A pistol shot, broke the window of the room occupied by the governor general. They also attacked the village of Mardjilik, killed many Mussulmans and engaged in plunder. The authorities of Arabugnir discovered forty of the bombs which the Armenian agitators had prepared in-order to blow up public buildings, such as the bar-, racks, the palace of the governor, the military storehouse and the like. The lire that broke out in the city originated from bombs prepared for that purpose. .. The Turkish population of Arabuignir, being attacked by 1,500 rioters, fxjrfectly armed and equipped, telegraphed to the imperial government for protection.

“Tho Armenian rioters of Crzindjar fired on the Mussulmans and attached 'the palace of the governor, the military station and other buildings. They were repulsed, however, by the military. The Armenian revolutionists of Arabuguir, having attacked the Mussulman quarter of lknepinar, a bloody conflict ensued between Mususlrnaus unit Armenians. Another conflict took place near the village of Saroy (Van) between Armenian brigands and gendarmes. The brigands fled to the village of Bogazkean, but they were dispersed. hjany gendarmes were killed and wounded. More than 5,000 Armenian revolutionists are at Tchonkmerzen (Adana), and are preparing themselves to commit aggressions.” KEIFER’S KICK Against the United Stat os Recognising Cabs'* Belligerency. Springpikld. O., Nov. 16.—In an ai£ : imated discussion by Mitchell Post, G. A. R., last night, of the Cuban que9i tiou, ex-Speaker Gen. Keifer claimed that the United States could not consistently recognize the Cuban patriots ms belligerents, for the reason that the Coiled States protested when Euro* pean powers recogc ized the confed- • eracy. Every G. A. R. post in the » country has by circular been requested ’ to arouse interest io the matter.

REGARDED AS A TEST. American MliMlonarjr Property at Harpoot Ucatroyed—Five Hundred Chrlatlau* Killed at that Place and Eljthr Hundred at Siva*—'State Department Official* See America’s Opportunity la the Eastern Crisis. Boston, Not. IS.—‘The following cablegram has been received by the American board from Rev. H. 0. Dwight, of Constantinople, by way of Pliilippopolis: “Five hundred men were killed in Harpoot; eight of twelve mission buildings burned; missionaries’ lives spared; houses stripped. The Turks will regard this as a test of the intention of the United States to defend the missions. No’ missionaries anywhere killed; villages every where desolated; people naked and starving. Instant help. [Signed.] “Dwight.” The buildings destroyed are estimated to be worth from STo.OQO to 1100,000. Harpoot is a city in Armenia, 200 miles southwest of Erzerourn. about twenty miles east of the Euphrates. Its chief importance lies in its position. It is the center of a large number of villages covering a great plain and constituting j the only section of Armenia I where the Armenians can fairly claim ; to constitute a majority of the popu-; lation. As such it has been for many | years the roost important and success* ; ful station of the A. B. C. A. M. in j eastern Turkey. The city’ itself has a ; large Turkish population, but the ' plain is almost eutirely Armenian. It is the seat of Euphrates college. Elctit Hundred Persons Killed at Slv»*. Washington, Nov. 18.—When shown the United Press dispatches which j stated that 800 persons were killed at Sivasr, h fact not clearly shown by the . state department dispatch, as given : out, Mr. Olney replied that this was substantially correct The full text | of Minister Terrell’s communication was, for the same reason, withheld from publication. The state department advices from | Constantinople are much less explicit "than those received by the United Press through its special correspond- 1 ent. But such meager details as have been given out by the department are fully confirmatory of the press adi vices.

America’s Opportunity to Bring England to Term*. Chicago, Nov. 18.—A special to the Evening Press from Washington, says: The state department officials look upon the complications arising over the Armenian affair as settling in favor of the Uuited States, and also the controversy with Great Britain growing out of the Venezuelan boundary dispute. Still, Secretary Olney is in favor of vigorously maintaining the position he lm3 occupied up to the present time, thereby, as he believes, forcing Great Britain to abandon her claims in Venezuela in order that her hands may be clear for the more serious work in bringing Turkey to time. Every diplomat in Washington regards the crisis as of the most imminent character, and they all seem to believe that bloodshed is inevitable in eastern Europe and that the autonomy of Turke y is doomed. COUNTERFEIT STAMP SCHEME Traced to Warren F. Thompson, the Matrimonial Agent. Chicago, Nov. 18.—The connection of Warren F. Thompson, the matrimonial agent, with the Jones counterfeit stamp scheme, is now said to be settled beyond any doubt The secret service lias him in toils ftbm which it will be difficult t(Wescape. But troubles never come singly, and Thompson found that out yesterday morning. He waived examination on the second charge brought against him in connection with the counterfeiting of postage stamps. While Thompson was waiting for ^ondsmen to make his $.‘;,o00 bond, Ch&rles A. Fuller, who ! was on his Ifbnd in the postal case pending in the district court, gave him up, and Thompson abandoned all hope of getting out on bail, aud is resigned to go back to the jail at Joliet until the.next term of the district court. The plates from which the counterfeit postage stamps were priuted are j now in the possession of the secret! service, and their ownership has been ' traced uumlstable to Thompson and ; Jones.

Pitre In a Drue Store In the Hotel Warner Itlock, Amsterdam, N. Y. Amsterdam, N. Y., Nov. 18.—About I 1:30 o’clock yesterday mining1 fire 1 broke out in Thomas Donnelly’s drug ' store in the Hotel Warner block. I There was great exeitemeut among1 \ the guests oi the hotel, the corridors I of which were filled with a dense j smoke. Many guests escaped by means ! of fire escapes. W. W. Wilcox, of the ; Electric City bank, of Niagara Falls, ! was assisted from the third story by j firemen. W, S. Gratton, a Buffalo contractor, and his clerk, F. A. Iiey- j nolds, of Buffalo, -escaped from the j , third story by a rope. The flames were confined to the drug I ! store and the box office of the opera j house. The loss is over $10,000 and! 1 fully insured. The damage to the Ho- j I tel Warner block is SO,000. That there j was no loss of life is considered a ; miracle, as many of the guests were in j bed when the fire broke oat in the drug store. THREE LIVES LOST Hj the liurnlu* of a Match Factory at Detroit, Mich. Detroit, Mich., Nov. 17.—The factory of the Improved Match Co., a branch of the Match trust, was destroyed by fire at 8 a. m. Three per* sons were burned to death. They were: Reuben Davis, fireman. Thomas Wagner, watchman. Agnes Yettke, an employe. About twenty-five persons, mostly girls, were at work when the fir«r started. ‘

COMING CONGRESS. Pint Indications «l the Appronchlac Session— A Western Senator on the Kevenues —Kxercisrt! Over the Kenewitl at Gold Exports Which Threaten a New Hood Is. sue Before the f irst of the Year. Chicago. Nop. 14— A Washington special says: Washington begins to show indications of the near approach of congress. A straggling congressman here and there in the hotel lobbies or on the street corners, surrounded by little groups of interested listeners, suggests the re-openiug of congress. The new congressman from “the Posey county district,” always an object of interest, is here, and stopping at the Riggs, lie is J. A. liemenway, of Booneville— the Indiana town in Spencer county where “Abe” Lincoln, according to tradition used to loiter around the law oihces and court rooms and gather inspiration for his future* march to political fame. Senator Baker of Kansas has made a decided impression already. “The revenue question is the most important before the new congress,” said he. “Aside from increasing, duties I see only one other feasible plan for providing revenues and that is to authorise the secretary of the treasuryto issue bonds of smalt denominations— say §f*0 or §100—which ought to be made legal tender aud draw ’d-per cent, interest.” Senator Baker says McKiulej* leads as a presidential factor in Kansas, but he believes that Reed will have the largest number of votes on the first ballot, with McKinley second, and that the result will be the nomination of neither favorite, but, instead, a dark horse. Nearly all the new congressman here are more or less exercised over the renewal of gold exports, which began last week. As predicted in a dispatch Wednesday, there were fresh withdrawals of gold and a few exports Saturday, aud the reserve is threatened. Several new members have called on Secretary Carlisle expecting to learn a great deal about the subject, but few of them secured an audience. Sucre- j tary Carlisle is as much in a quandary j himself over the matter as are some of ; the amateur statesmen. The “financial | advisers,” on whom he relies for accurate information iu Wall street, are unable to establish the extent of the uew drain that has just commenced or to fix the responsibility. It may be a temporary stringency in the exchange market, or it may be more deep seated. It is es timated that within tlse next two weeks ’ §10,000,000 of gold will go abroad. If such a drain be kept up for any continued period, a uew sale of bonds before the first of the year would be inevitable.

A FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT Caused by Part of a Freight Train Running Away Down a Steep Grade. Mkmphis, Tenn., Nov. 18.—A special from Birmingham, Ala., says: Near Corona, Ala., sixty miles west of Birmingham, yesterday morning while a heavy freight on the Southern railway way climbing a long grade, the caboose and two cars broke loose and started back down grade. Conductor W. F. Ruffia was the only man in the caboose and taking in the situation he began applying the hand brakes, but to no avail, the wild cars gathering speed as they ran. Seeing that to juuSp meant certain death, Ruffin remained at the useless brakes. After going six miles the cars dashed into the engine of the Corona express, which was backing down from the junction to Corona station. Engiueer Broom and his fireman jumped from the express train engine just in time to save themselves. The engine and freight cars, the latter then running fully eighty miles an hour, were smashed, and Rufiinstill at the brakes when the crash came, was iustantly killed, being crushed into a shapeless mass. The {lasseugers on the express miracuousiy escaped, with a shaking up. GERMAN NAVAL AFFAIRS. Tbe Itultio-North Sea Canal Temporarily Closed—The Kaipertir** Yacht. Bkklix, Nov. 18.—Vice-Admiral K arc her, of the German navy, has received a leave of absence, at the expiratiou of which he will resign, owing to a difference with Commanding Admiral Knorr over the reoeut naval evolution in the Baltic sea. The German admiralty are at loggerheads with the administration of the Baitie-North Sea caual. The Nordostsee Zeituug, published a notice last Monday that ships of over seven and a half meters draught could not venture through the caual owing to the fact that a huge stone would be found in the bed of the canal, covered only by eight meters of water.

The president of the canal administration, llerr Lowe, denied this statement, but. on Wednesday the canal officers announced that passage through the canal was closed to vessels drawing over seven and one-half metres af water , The obstruction is now reported to have been removed, so that ships of eight metres draught can safely pass through. The emperor has ordered that the imperial yacht llohenzollern be refitted with all possible expedition, his intention beiug to make a cruise of the Adriatic and arijactent waters early in February. .... THE MARLBOROUGHS. Sail for Kuropr—Th« Divorced Parents Kx«U4US« Courtesies. Nsw York, Nov. IS.—-The duke of Marlborougn and his young American bride sailed at 11 o’clock yesterday morniug for Genoa on the North German Lloyd steamship Fulda from Uohoken. The departure of the pair was rendered dramatic because W. K. Vauderbi.lt and Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt, the parents of the duchess, met on the deck of the steamshiQ, and exchanged courtesies.

TRADE STIMULATED. ftt "Vcthr* of the Coaatry" la Sot Uf pendent on n Tnz on Wo*!. The Tribune affirms that ‘‘the demo* erat who can find satisfaction ip th® wool and woolens business for the last nine months can hare but little iut«r* est in the welfare of his country. ” The history of the wool and woolens business for the last nine mouths reveals these facts: The sales of wool in Boston, the greatest market in this country for this staple, were more than 30,000,000 pounds for thp three, weeks ended October 12. This, says the Journal of that city, ‘‘is the largest amount of wool ever sold in this market in a similar period*” The average of 10,000.001) a week was characterized as “extraordinary.” This activity in the home market, at a smart advance over June prices, was paralleled by the foreign trade. During the first nine months of free wool we imported about 200,010,000 pounds of foreigft fibera and exported about 4,000,000 pounds. We imported also in this period over 50,000,000 pounds of woolen cloths, dress goods and; yarns. Now, the question is what is “the welfare of the country” in this matter? Is it not to get the largest amount and the best quality of woolen clothing at the lowest possible prices? Nothing is more conducive to health and comfort, in our changeable climates, than such a supply of woolens. The fact that under the new tariff the^ supply of clothing is greater, better and cheaper is one in which all democrats—and everybody else except McKinleyites— find much satisfaction. Dun’s Review says that the average of prices of woolen goods, as shown by perceetages, was 77.5 on October 1, as compared with 100 in October, 1890, and 99.4 in October, 1892 This is a saving in

prices which the people appreciate. The prosperity of the woolen manufacturers undoubtedly contributes to the welfare of the country. Are sensible men to beliere that it is to the advantage of our manufacturers to be obliged to pay taxes on the-raw material needed for admixture or to produce special lines of fabrics to which our native vvools are not adapted? The very fact that we are importing untaxed wools at the rate of 230,000,009 pounds a year shows that the handicap removed from our manufacturers, giving: them the same free choice of fibers that their competitors enjoy, is of inestimable value both to them and to the people. They will not only control the market in time, but will be able to sell for export. With the mills mostly in full activity, under advance*! wages, with a great demand for wool, and with the people getting more and better clothing at nearly 25 per cent, less cost, the “welfare of the country” is seen to be not dependent on a tax on wool.—N. Y. World. __ | PROTECTION AND COTTON. Ah Argument That Should Fall to Increase the List of Protectionists Voters in the South. The American Economist has lately been publishing a series of articles favoring a protective tariff on cotton, and intended to convince the southern planter that he would be benefited by a heavy duty on foreign cotton. The Economist does not attempt to show how the price of a product of which we export a large surplus pould be increased by protection, and evidently thinks the cotton grower to be so stupid that he will vote for uhigh tariff merely because the protectionist press tells him to. Even if the protectionists were to leave their flimsy theories long enough to point out how theifc sebfeme would increase the price o^f cojtton, they would find grave difficiflttes in jihgirl way. They would first havp to explain how it happened that the price of cotton steadily declined under the McKinley. tariff, and why that: wonderful taxation law, the restoration of which is demanded by protectionists, did not put a duty on foreign cotton. Then they would have to explain why the price of cotton has advanced to nearly/ 9 cents per pound in the first year of the Wilson, tariff. Sensible people know that prices are regulated by supply and demand, and that a decreased crojs means higher prices, i But on the protection theory that the tariff does it all, there is certainly a Strong argument in favor of the new tariff in the recent advance in cotton.

Wool (irow«rs tor Free Wool. * The recent declaration Of the Ohio Wool Growers’ association that the industry is being- ruined by the Wilson tariff law leads the Detroit Free Press (dem.) to reply that the same thing was said of the McKinley law by the Wool Growers’ and Sheep Breeders’ association of Ontario and Livingston counties. N. Y., in 1831, after the passage of the law; The association was composed largely of republicans and protectionists, but, says the Free Press, “they were, above all, sheep breeders and wool growers, and, coming together as such, they took a practical view of the tariff on wool without stopping to consider whether it harmonised with the view$ of the republican party or of protectionists generally. The result was that their resolutions were quite as denunciatory of the duty on wool as j those of the Ohio association are of free wool.” First Year of Prosperity. The new tariff law was in effect one year last September. When it was parsed the country was. shrouded in gloom. Business was prostrated, and the wail ot the calamity howler could be heard on every side. Protectionist papers and partisan orators declared that the country was going to hades, and all the evils resulting from twenty years of republican rule saddled on the new tariff. But wb*t was the result? From the moment of its passage business began to revive, The wheels of industry began to turn. Idle men found employment, factories opened and wages increased. The fog and mildew and blight that darkened the land have been dissipated, and the people are once mores happy in the prosperity that still continues. Never again will the system of McKinleyism find root in American soil —Gallipoli* (ft) Bulletin. L 1

LOST IN THE FOQ. ▲ ProtecttoaUts Editor Who ('annot Em| Op with the Tariff Reform Proce»*lon. Mr. Charles Emory Smith, editor of the Philadelphia Press, was appoihted minister to Russia by the late repnblican administration. Since his return to the United States he seems to Jtave been trying to lire over a train the years he spent abroad, and .with proverbial Philadelphia slowness he is now in the middle of the McKinley panic of 1893. At least this is the only plausible explanation of his statements made in a speech in New York city on October 15. Having modestly credited the republican party wfith the country’s railroads, farms, iron manufactures, increased population and a number of other things for which we had previously been supposed to be indebted to Providence, he said: “What are the fruits of democratic policy as we see them to-day? It has left a blight upon the woolen and other industries. Even with the partial restoration in wagespt the last few months it still strips American labor of hundreds of millions a year.”

This is a tolerably truthful picture of the working of the McKinley tariff, and is therefore a strong reason for supposing1 that Mr. Smith is still living two years in the hast. Under the operation of the tariff of 1800 a bright did fall on the “woolen and other industrleV’ Hundreds of mills and factories shut down while that high taxation law was on the statute book. The wages of at least a million workers were reduced from 10 to 20 per cent. American labor was stripped of hundreds of millions of dollars. There were no advances or restorations of wages. Hut this is 1S95, and the condition of j affairs described by Mr. Smith no j longer exists. Even a Philadelphia editor ought to know that over a year ago congress repealed the McKinley tariff and enacted a law which imposed lower taxes. At once, as if by magic, our “woolenajftd other industries” which h^tK^een poetically stagnant, begatyto revive, and from that time until' the present day we have been steadily advancing in prosperity. Not j only have the tvoolen mills, idle under McKinleyism, all been started up again, but nearly fifty new woolen factories have been built or planned for early erection. The iron and steel industry more prosperous than ever before in the history of the country. Nearly all the workers whose wages were reduced under a high tariff have had increased wages under tariff reform. These are the real fruits o!SM\e democratic policy as we see them toh day. The attempt to make it appear5 otherwise* convicts the republicans of gross ignorance of the plainest facts of recent experience. Btrox W. Holt. SLANDERING THEIR COUNTRY. That Is What Protectionist Croakers Are ’ Do in itProtectionists do not seem to understand that in arguing that there cannot be prosperity until everybody is again taxed on everything they use, they-Are disparaging the resources of the country and the skill of its industrious yWople. Ever since the adoption of the ^Vilson tariff the republican papers have favored an unholy alliance for the purpose of making the condition of trade and industry appear contrary to the actual facts. News of the great business revival which began nearly a year ago was carefully suppressed; no mention was made of the mills and factories which were starting up, and the evidence of better times shown by increased wages to over a million workers was ignored. Pursuing their policy of making political capital out of public disaster the McKinleyites are now engaged in magnifying every petty failure and claiming that it is the work of the new tariff. Nor are they satisfied with their exaggerated reports of matters with whieh the tariff has nothing to do. They go further and publish malicious attacks on leading industries solely in order to create prejudice against, the party in power. Thus they have represented cotton manufactures as suffering from foreign competition, even while all the cotton mills are running on full time and making good profits, and new factories are being started than in any one year under McKinleyism. So with the iron and steel industry, which they claim is in a precarious condition, owing to the danger that because of the enormous demand for its produets prices will be advanced to a price, which will permit foreign iron and stpel to come in. In spite of the establishment of at least twenty-five new tin plate factories during the past year, and a greatly increased output of the finished products, they have pretended that the duty has injured the tin plate industry, and are demanding that the n^xt congress increase the duty on foreign plates.

\ These aelioerate xaisenooas are meant to serve a partisan purpose by showing- that th^eountry is less pros* perous under the' democratic policy than it was uhder republican rule. But their real Effect is to injure business, and to ^ome extent prevent a complete recovery from the trade depression and panic which marked the closing- years pit the McKinley tariff. As a man in good health may be made ill through having a number of people tell him he looks very sick, so business is seriously injured by the tariff. In this they will certainly fail, for the low-tariff good times are here to stay j 4 IVumnvv j False Prophets Answered. With the duties on pig iron reduced 1? per cent, by the Wilson tariff the weekly production of all the furnaces now working niM reached the tremendous figure for October of 301.414 tons. This is the largest production in the history of the country or of any other | country, and is a complete answer tc the false prophets of protection wh« claimed that the"* iron industry would be injured by lower duties. At this rate the total output for the next year will amount to 10.000,000 tons, nearly 1,000,000 tons more than any pre vieos jear._
