LIFE ASSETS ARE CUT. Examiner Fails to Find $600,000 Claimed by Manhattan Company. Chief Examiner Vanderpoel has just handed in to the insurance department of the State of New York a report in which he cuts down the admitted assets of the Manhattan Life Insurance Company of New York about $600,000. The chief examiner Anils that on Dec. 31, 1904, the Manhattan Life stated its assets as $18,573,285.06. He reports that he can find assets of only $17,961,860. In its report the company claimed a surplus of $1,754,674.08, whereas Mr, Vanderpoel finds it is only $943,249.08, a difference of more than SBOO,OOO. Friends of the company declare the reduction in the surplus was due to a reduction in tha appraisal of its real estate, but a close examination of the report shows that Mr. Vanderpoel only reduces the real estate valuation from $5,283,441 to $5,063,500. Peuce Envoys Meet. “Gentlemen, I propose a toast to which there will be no answer and which I ask you to drink in silence, standing. I drink to the welfare and prosperity of ■the sovereigns and people of the two great nations whose representatives have met one another on this ship. It is my most earnest hope and prayer in the interest of not only these two great powers, but of all mankind, that a just and lasting peace may speedily be concluded between them.” This was the sentiment of President Roosevelt delivered in the dining saloon of the Mayflower to the peace envoys from Japan and Russia, who have come to this country upon his invitation to determine whether they can end the war now raging between their two nations. Tots in Post Holes. To prevent the Bell Telephone Company erecting poles nloug the roads of their locality, farmers near Cincinnati gathered their children and placed one in each hole that had been dug. Over half the school children in the neighborhood were in the earth up to their chins when the telephone people abandoned their work. Uncle Sam to tight Fever.

BLACK RUST SCARE.

Wheat Farmers Worried Because of Blight’s Appearance. The trepidation created by tire reported appearance of "black rust” in the spring wheat belt is due rather to a vague uncertainty as to what the conditions may be than to- absolute knowledge as tq, the facts of the situation, says the Chicago Daily News. Although rust is a phenomenon of regular occurrence, it'is difficult to foretell with accuracy in any given year just how damaging it is going to be. Its appearance is an occasion for anxiety but not necessarily for alarm, tire injury it may inflict depending largely upon the time of its appearance,and the state of advancement of the crop. Perhaps the most ominous feature of the reports received thus far from various sections of the Northwest is that while black rust has appeared early, the crops are comparatively late. The cause of rust is a microscopic spore which is borne thro’ugh the air and which in dry weather is comparatively harmless. In periods of rain or heavy humidity the spores settle on the wheat and germinate, their presence being shown by the brownish red or bkiek rust whiclif appears. The result is that the sap of . the plant is absorbed and the berry or kernel of the wheat, receiving no nutrition, fails to develop. Thus, - if the plant has already readied an advanced stage of development, the rust does relatively little damage. If, on the other hand, the plant is late in coming to maturity or the spores are deposited unusually early in the season, the damage done may be enormous. Telegrams from station agents over 1,500 to 2,000 miles of railroad in lowa, South Dakota, Nebraska and southern Minnesota, however, say “no rust.” These agents were instructed by railroad officials to make careful inquiry concerning the reported black rust in wheat. Tlie replies are unanimous that there is none of this flestructiye parasite in their immediate localities. The only damage they report is to potatoes which, it is said, will not equal last year’s yield in ; •Nebraska, South Dakota and Minnesota by 25 per cent. Whether or not injury by rust this year will be sufficient to reduce materially the size of the wheat crop depends very largely upon the weather conditions prevailing during the remainder of the season, continues the Chicago paper. Up to the present these conditions appear to have been adverse, though there is little to indicate that a few weeks of bright, dry weather would not insure the country against serious loss. The infection seems to be confined to local areas as yet. In estimating its probable effect, of course, due allowance must be made for the active imaginations of speculators who find an occasional “rust scare” of service in manipulating the market.

THE RUSH ABROAD.

Steamship Lines Overtaxed in Carrying Americans to Europe. All travel records, both local and foreign, are being broken this year, says a New York correspondent. Never before have the railroads and steamship companies been so overwhelmed with passenger business and never before has there been such a wholesale moving from city to country and seashore as has taken place within the last six weeks. Since early in June all departments of the big transportation companies have been overworked and there are no signs of a falling off. The rush began earlier than usual and present indications are that it will continue much later in the season than ever before. At all the passenger piers and railroad stations outgoing baggage is piled mountain high, and extra forces of men are employed night and day turning the endless streams of trunks and baskets into their proper channels. Express companies and carting concerns are working overtime, and storage warehouses are being filled to their doors with tlie valuable chattels of those who are going away for a longer outing than usual. Foreign travel is equally heavy. Then has never been anything like it before in the port of New York. It began early last winter, and has increased as the season advanced. Last year a total oi 199,348 first and second cabin passengers were carried out of New York by transAtlantic lines. It is estimated now that the figures for 1905 will pass that record by at least 25,000.

LABOR NOTES

There are 241 women paper hangers in the United States. Roanoke (Va.) street railway employes have received a voluntary increase in pay. There are about 800 girl waistcoat makers in New York, of whom 500 are in the union. Boston (Mass.) carpenters are seeking an increase of 25 cents a day. They now receive $3 for eight hours. Pastors of New Brunswick, N. J., have formed a union and are affiliated with the central labor body of that city. Plasterers at Montreal, Canada, have made demands for 40 cents an hour. They ‘are now receiving 33% cents an hour. Of approximately 300,000 workers in the engineering industry of the United States, it is said that only 40,000 are organized. A new local of the International Plate Printers' Union has recently been established at Albany, N. Y. It contains every man of the business in Albany and vicinity. ' One-third of the manufactures of civilized countries are produced in the United States, and our exports of manufactured articles have passed $500,000,000 a year, v Sheet Metal Workers International Union is the latest union to begin the discussion and advocacy of a home for aged members and a “health farm” for invalid ones. Street car men of Detroit, Mich., hare asked for a general increase in pay from 23% cents an hour to 25 cents. The men also ask for 30 cents an hour os Sundays and all holidays.

THE SIEGE OF VICKSBURG—1905.

—Chicago Inter Ocean.

NATION TO FIGHT PEST.

President Acts on Request of the Louisiana Governor. The federal government will take full control of the yellow fever situation. Gov. Blanchard of Louisiana Friday afternoon sent a request to that effect to President Roosevelt, and the latter immediately directed Surgeon General Wyman to take every step in his power to meet the situation. Gov. Blanchard’s appeal to the President was the result of the action of a mass meeting of citizens in New Orleans, at which the opinion was expressed that federal control would result in an immediate restoration of confidence throughout the South, and would do away with all danger of conflict between the States over quarantine regulations. While it was declared there was no intention of admitting that the situation had got beyond the control of the local authorities, it was the belief of those present that Surgeon Genial Wyman would be able to send a force of physicians to New Orleans thoroughly equipped for handling the fever situation, because of their experience in Cuba, Mexico and at different points in the United States, and that the government would have the facilities for enforcing a scientific campaign not possessed by the local authorities. President A. Brittin of the cotton exchange presided at the meeting. The announeement of the action taken at first created some alarm in the city, which was quickly allayed when it became known that the authorities had acted simply in the belief that the prompt action now in turning over the direction of affairs to the marine hospital service would almost certainly avert aii epidemic. Friday morning the launch Tom of the Louisiana fleet, with Lieut. Ivy in command ami Sheriff Nunez of St. Bernard Parish on board, captured the Mississippi boat Tipsy, in command of Captain English. Tlie captain and crew, were placed under arrest by Sheriff Nunez and sent with their boat to St. Bernard Parish, where the officers and men were taken to the parish prison. The Tom was running through Lake Borgne when the Tipsy attempted to head it off. The Naval Reserves on the Tom concealed themselves and allowed the Mississippiaus to board their boat before disclosing their identity. The Mississippi quarantine boat Grace was also forced to haul down its quarantine flag while in Louisiana waters. Four other launches joined the Majestic and Marie and nearly all of the 100 available men of the Naval Reserves are on the scene, only enough being held in New Orleans to man the United States steamer Stranger, which is unable to navigate Lake Borgne, but is held in readiness to proceed to Mississippi sound in case she is needed. Hundreds of people are teraporarly moving out of New Orleans into St. Tammany parish, which is practically the only nearby haven to which people from the city can go. The parish has refused to put a quarantine, and has opened its doors to all refugees. No ensq of yellow fever has ever developed there, even during tlie most serious epidemics. Cases have been taken to tlie parish, but whether the patient died or recovered there has never Teen any extension of the infetion. The reason for the immunity of St. Tammany is that the stegomyia has never existed there.

Hogs Killed by Hailston[?]s.

The worst hailstorm in the history ol eastern lowa occurred recently between Tipton and Mechauiesville. The hailstones were flat in shape and were 12 inches ncross. Many hogs were killed in the pastures, and horses and cattle, blinded by the terrific pounding of the icy missiles, stampeded into wire fences, and many valuable animals were badly cut up, besides being bruised by the hail. The storm covered an area of a mile and a half. No wind accompanied it, or the damage would have been much greater. Nearly all the windows were broken in houses in its pnth. The hailstones struck the plowed fields with such force that they were buried in the earth, softened by the week’s rains. - Arrests are anticipated in New York within a short time ns the result of a seizure of cheap stogies reported by dispatches from St. Louis. The consignment taken by government agents numbered 48,000 and bore internal revenue washed s^^ps. Regarding the report in circulation that a general strike of the mine workers was imminent, President Mitchell at Scranton, Pa., said: “This rumor of a strike is so silly that I can find no possible excuse whatever for its circulation.”

RUSSIAN ROUT COMPLETE.

Great Distress Com pels -Surrender on Sakhalin Island After Long Flight. A report giving details of the final pursuit and surrender of the majority of the Russian garrison on Sakhalin island on July 31 has been received at Tokio as follows: “An independent cavalry column on the afternoon of July 28 attacked the enemy south of Paleo and routed him, driving him southward, capturing two field guns, besides a number of rifles and a quantity of ammunition. “On July 29, tlie cavalry, being reenforeed, # vigorously pursued the enemy south of Taylan, which lies twenty-five miles south of Rykoff.*" The enemy halted at Onol. twenty-five miles south of Taylan, and at 5 o’clock on the morning of July 30 sent a letter under a flag of truce to the Japanese commanding officer from Gen. Liapnoff, tlie Russian Governor, saying that the lack of bandage material and medicines, and" the consequent inability to succor the wounded, compelled him from a sense of humanity to terminate hostilities. “The commander of the Japanese force replied, demanding the delivery of all war supplies and property of the Russian government, the uninjured, mid the delivery of all maps, records and papers relating to the Russian civil and military administration, and requiring their delivery in reply at 10 o’clock on the morning of July 31, otherwise an attacking movement would immediately be started. "Col. Tolivitch, on behalf of Governor Liapnoff, met Col. Koizumi, Japanese chief of staff, on the morning of July 31, and accepted the proposed terms. Governor Liapnoff, seventy officers and 3,200 men of the Russian garrison then surrendered. The si»oils l consisting of clothing. papers am} military supplies, urn now under investigation.” Almost tropical rains are falling in Manchuria, and the hilly regions are impassable for trains of artillery. Every Uioftntain path is a torrent* and every valley a quagmire. Important operations apparently will be impossible for a long time to come. The alternation of rains and fervid sunshine has a depressing effect on the health of the army. Dispatches received from Korea report that the Japanese have begun a simultaneous advance from lvuanchoderi against the Musarief and Piatsabniig passes, but that both columns were checked under pressure of the Russian advance detachments. The Russian losses, the dispatches say, were insignificant. Japanese warships are reported to be cruising off tlie mouth «i Peter the Great bay, on which Vladivostok is situated, their lights often being visible from Russian island. The Japanese are most active in establishing trade relations in southern Manchuria. Over a score of large business houses have been established at Yinkow, and 5,000 Japanese sutlers and larger traders follow close on tlie heels of the army.

PFISTER IS INDICTED

Milwaukee's Leading Capitalist and Politician Caught in Ciraft Dragnet. Charles F. Pfistcr, Milwaukee's leading capitalist—manufacturer, banker, street railway magnate, newspaper owner, hotel man and head and front of the stalwart or anti-La Follette Republican faction in Wisconsin politics—was indicted by the grand jury Friday, together with four other Victims of the graft investigation. Aside from the Bigelow defalcation, no sensation ever has stirred the metropolis of Wisconsin as did the news that flew over the city that the wealthiest citizen and one of, the foremost business men of the West—-the man who snved the First National Bank when its president stole millions—had been caught in District Attorney Francis E. McGovern’s dragnet. , The District Attorney, when he started the present graft inquiry, declared there wero big fish in sight, if they only could be caught. Pfister is the biggest fish'in ail the surrounding waters. The indictment against Mr. Pfister caused a double sensation, innsmuch as persons first hearing the news assumed that it might be the opening to disclosures in connection with the street railway franchise grant of a few years ago, regarding which there has been all manner of talk. The charge against the millionaire politician, however, is that of appropriating to his own use $14,000, through the use of which the Wisconsin Rendering Compnri> had expected to get a garbage contract from the city.

“TANGLED FINANCE.”

METEORIC RISE AND FALL OF HELTER-SKELTER BANKER. Devlin, of Kansas, Was Honest, but Hi. Habit of Trusting to Memory Proved Financially Fatal When Illness Came to Him. While the people of the East are getting their share of “frenzied finance,” ; *ttie West is not wholly neglected, though it

C. [?]. DEVLIN.

Kansan has experienced in a dozen years, accomyanied by a political upheaval of seismic force. It was upon the brain of Charles J. Devlin that the clot formed, just before his enormous monthly payroll was due, and no other map in Kansas could have brought on so much trouble by falling ill as Devlin did. In the first place lie was rated the richest man in the State up to the hour that the bursting of a tiny blood vessel in his brain caused an apoplectic stroke, his fortune being estimated at $3,000,000 to $4,000,u00. Then, his interests were so diversified and geographically scattered that crowding him into involuntary bankruptcy affected an uncommonly large number of people. But the great cause of his present troubles, and those of, thousands- of others, was his practice of relying on his memory. He owned or controlled four banks —two in Kansas ant} two in Illinois —and 26 other corporations, among them two railroads. The affairs of these 30 corporations he carried in his head. He had no knowledge of bookkeeping, but possessed the mosFimplicit faith in his ability to keep his financial bearings by the compass of his memory. And, more is the wonder, he kept them in that way-jisuceessfully until an accideut happened to the compass, and then no one else aboard his financial bark could make even a rational guess as to where they were. In a few days they struck the rOcks. A Unique Figure.

Devlin is a unique figure iu finance. He is St. Louisan by birth, 54 years of age. As a young man he was clerk in a coal office and eventually he became manager of a small coal company in northern Illinois. In ISB9 he was made manager of the fuel properties of the Santa Fo system, and When that company went into a receivership Devlin leased its coal properties. He acquired mines in Illinois, Missouri and Kansas. When the miners and the big coal companies had trouble in 1897 Devlin sided with the miners nnd kept his mines going, with the result that he made money fast and acquired other coal properties. He became the richest man in Kansas, but good fortune did not breed snobbery. He spoke as pleasantly to a laborer in the street whom he knew as to the Governor of the State. Much comment has he caused by lifting his hut to an old negro couple of his acquaintance. Everybody looked alike to Devlin. Another marked trait was his desire to see young msn succeed. He gave them a chance wherever he could. He lived in a pretty home, with splendid flowers, and other evidences of good taste, but no exclusiveness. He enjoyed sitting on the porch nnd having the children romp on tlie lawn. Work was his recreation nnd he was a veritable engine. lie was th% busiest man in the West. But he had no faith in bookkeepers and stored nil the details of his business in his head. Most of his concerns were making money, but all were relying upon him as tlie motive power to keep them in operation. His credit was large. State Treasurer Kelly had $547,000 stored in one of his banks —the First National of Topeka. A few weeks ago he gave out and was forced to his bed. His mind became a mazt and lie could not plan a few days ahead. When Devlin's brain stopped working, his enterprises had to cease operation, for there was no one in the harness who knew which way to turn. Tjiree of his four banks are in the bunds of receivers, 15 of his 26 corporations are in bankruptcy, hundreds of bank depositors are seeking return of their savings, hundreds of eoal mine’s are fearful lest the Devlin mines shall be closed and throw them and their families into the clutches of want, and the people of the State are in a fever of excitement on account of the probable. The total liabilities of Devlin arc estimated at $3,000,600.

To Build a $3,000,000 Park.

Chicago is to have a now nmusement park ou the lake shore j.ist south of Jackson Park, which, it is declared by those behind It, will surpass anything of the kind in the world. In addition to a multitude of high class and m.vel amusements, there is to be a $1,00d,000 hotel on the luke shore, which, together with the amusement projects and beautiful landscape gardening and scenic effects planned, will represent nn investment of approximately $3,000,000. The land, which has already been placed under contract, comprises what is known as the Willard tract, and embraces between 00 and 70 acres. It extends from Jackson Turk to Seventy-first street, with luke frontage the euture. distance, and the price to lie paid for if. by tin; syndicate behind the project is $300,000. A campaign lias been inaugurated by Commissioner Wnthern of New York against the use of cigarettes on Bilk) Island. Their sale has been forbiddeu and the commissioner lias caused it t> be known among the employes that cigarette smokers are not Wanted. The congress of Venezuela has ratified the contract made by the government with Senor C. Muduetio for the establishment of the National Bank of Venezuela and granting him the exclusive right of manufacturing cigarettes.

is on somewhat different lines. It is “tangled finance.” There are no senatorial reputations being pulverized, but a popular idol has fallen with a crash that has echoed through the State. However, there is little condemhation.but much sympathy. A clot of blood is responsible for the worst finaincial shake up

COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL

Agricultural conditions form a lea»}ing consideration in business circles at

Chicago j

this time, these entering largely into plans and commitments for the immediate future. Winter wheat is well harvested in the northern region, the yield being heavy, and late advices show other crops to be making a seasonable advance, corn carrying the most excellent promise in Illinois. All indications favor an enormous increase in financial returns to the farmer. Demands upon factory, output show more strength this week, retail dealings extended in necessaries, and* the jobbing brunches gained in the volume of orders for fall staples, especially in clothing, footwear, food products and textile wares. Satisfactory redaction proceeds in merchandise stocks and widening buying appearg in farm supplies. The wholesale district gains in activity, personal selections showing a wide variety for both city and country trade and the bookings included much for early delivery. Discount taking is noted more frequently, while commercial defaults are slight and collections generally improving in promptness. Primary foodstuffs were in steady request, hut the offerings were liberal In the grain pits and a lower aver'age cost was established. The total quantity of cereals handled aggregated 7,016,572 bushels, against 0,233,748 in corresponding- week of 1904, the receipts being 3,918,783 bushels and the shipments 3,697,789, an Increase of 21 per cent and 23 per cent, respectively. The market for provisions was affected by shorter supplies of thei raw material and warehouse stocks have been reduced. o Bank cloarings, $177,100,921, exceed those of the corresponding week last year by 22.1 per eeut. Failures in the Chicago district were 18, against IS last week and 32 a year ago.—fiun’o Review of Trade.

Crop reports and fall trade advices are more unanimously favorable

He> M

than at any preceding time this season. Confidence in the crop situation is reflected by good fall orders and a volume of wholesale and retail trade certainly In excess of a year ago and fully equal to the average at this season. Special activity is noted In cottop goods, which are in eager demand at high prices, with scarcity of desirable makes widely reported. Trade in woolen fabrics is good, confirmation of this being found in freer buying by manufacturers of raw material at ruling high prices. Reports from the shoe and clothing lines and from the lumber, hardware and other building material lines are generally satisfactory. A heavy movement of winter wheat has helped collections and developed a little more activity in flour milling in the Southwest. The Iron trade shows some quietness after the exceptional activity noted in pig Iron last week. Other industries show considerable activity. Business failures In the United States for the week ending July 27 number 10: gainst 165 last week, 174 in the like week of 1904, 100 in 1903, 168 in 1902. and 100 in 1901. In Canada failures for the week number 28, as against 22 last week and 17 in this week a ywir ago.—Bradstreet’s Commercial Report.
