Speculative \VoOl Sales Continue ' Large—Cotton Market Lifeless. Failures of the Week. .NEW YORK, Dec. 5.—R. G. Dun‘& Co. ’s weekly review of trade says: The classified failures for November show gratifying reduction compared with October and are especially important as showing that the peculiar disturbance dur— ing the presidential campaign, which swelled failures $36,000,000 in August and September, did not prevent quick return to a monthly aggregate scarcely greater than that of May. - Defaulted liabilities in 11 months have been $198,738,459, against $148,544,202 last year, the increase being only- 314,000,000 outside of those two months, and this remaining increase of only 10 per cent was also in part due to the alarm during the campaign. The decline of failures to about 40 per cent of the Sep- tember aggregate gives stronger ground for the confidence so generally expressed. Ground for confidence is also found in the abandonment of two of the largest combinations by which the iron industry has been retarded, and the possibility that two others will be abandoned. Such a state of things within a. month after the election suggests that these organizations, formed when depressed business failed to support all the works in existence, are not. expected to survive a general revival and ample demand for products. The imme— diate effect of breaking prices is to check large buying of iron and steel products, but it will soon be seen about where prices are to range. At present the base price for wire nails is $1. 25, against $2. 55 two weeks ago, with greater reduction on small sizes because new cards reduced “ extra” charges. Beams are Selling at $1.35, against $1.55 two weeks ago, and there are sales of bil- lets below the fixed price. The bar com- bination is still undersold by steel bars at 1.1 cents, and nothing is doing in rails be- cause the meeting shortly to be held will settle-whether any price shall be fixed for next year. Bessemer pig at Pittsburg is lower at $11.65, and gray forge at $10, but there is large demand for vessel plates, both on foreign contracts and for the lakes. Several thousand cars have been ordered and numerous new buildings and bridges. Hides and Leather. The new demand for boots and shoes is so scanty that some works are about out of orders, though many still have enough, taken at old prices or a slight advance, to run through the year. Buyers generally decline to pay the larger advance now asked, and prices of leather do not yield. Hides at Chicago have again fallen about 5 per cent and are scarcely higher than a month ago. Minor metals are a shade stronger. The coke Combination has changed its method so that contracts are openly made below prices recently ruling, and there is some partition of consumers among the producing interests. Anthra- cite sells below the official circular, but better demand is expected with revival in manufacturing. Wool manufacture is wait. ing, and, while more concerns are at work, the newr demand improves but little with more favorable weather. Speculative sales of wool continue large, London prices hav- ing risen 10 per cent, and the average of 104 quotations by Coates Bros. is 13.66 cents against 12.92 a month ago. In the cotton manufacture there is little change, though'goods are selling better, but with mafiy added works production exceeds present demand. The market for raw cotton is lifeless with some options a little lower. With over 4,750,000 bales in sight by Dec. 1, when the crop is usually about half in sight, current estimates would leave only 3,500,000 more to come forward in nine months, and the larger consumption in mills does not advance prices. Other prod- uce markets have been weaker. Wheat rose to the close last week, declined 1% cents, but started upward again Thursday, closing one-eighth cent higher for the week. There is still confident buying as receipts at the west continue short. Storms have some influence, but receipts for the week were only 2,964,821 bushels against 7,014,911 last year. Atlantic exports were slightly smaller, flour included, 1,992,467 bushels against 2,326,093 last year, but the sharp advance in prices would naturally check shipments. Milling returns at the four largest western centers show a de- crease of 28,490 barrels for the week, and further decrease is expected. The Volume of Business. The volume of business shown by clear. ing house returns was for the past week nearly 1 per cent over last year, and for the month of November 3 per cent, and 11 per cent less than 1892, the comparison be- ing the best for the past five months. The great improvement compared with three previous months is especially encouraging because railway trafiic in November was small, earnings falling 11.6 per cent below last year and 12.7 below 1892. The traffic is affected by lack of cars owing to the previous heavy movement, and Chicago east bound shipments for four weeks were 270, 664 tons against 289,269 last year. The weakness in stocks for some days was part- ly due to small earnings, but after falling from $49. 69 on Friday last to $49 at the close on Monday, London buying, which exceeded sales by 10,000 shares, and the demand from some investors, raised the average of active railway stocks to $49.77 at the close. Trust stocks also closed slightly higher for the week. The treasury shbws a. deficit of $8,050,- 004 for the month and $52,293, 770 for 11 months, but has been much strengthened by receipts of 'gold in exchange for legal tenders, of which the actual circulation has increased $20,000,000. Compared with a year ago the increase in all circulation is $52,200,000. Foreign exchange is kept strong by large operations which are vir- tually lending money to London, and the receipts of 82, 500,000 last week from the interior, with absorption of stocks and payment of time loans on them, makes money plenty and cheaper. Of good com- mercial paper the supply is much below the demand, though large amounts have been taken, including much eastern mill paper. Failures for the week have been 379 in the United States, against 324 last year, and in. Canada 55, against 52 last year. ' Death of the Liberian President.

" A Courageous Paper In Havana Actually Tries to Frighten the United States. The Attitude of Our Press Declared Insulting. ATLANTA, Dec. 5.-The Rev. A. J. Diaz, the Baptist missionary of Havana who was driven from Cuba several months ago on account of alleged affiliation with the in- surgents, has reached this city from Texas, where he has been engaged in church work. While in New Orleans he met several Cu- bans, who gave him interesting accounts of what is going on in the island. These Cubans had come over from Havana on the steamer Aransas and were going to make the Crescent City their home. They have been permitted to leave the island because of the fact that they were taking no part in the war. “I was told,” said Diaz, “that every- thing was at a standstill in Havana. There is absolutely nothing going on in the city. As I understand it, everything is as dead as a doornail. But General Maceo seems to be getting in his work, and from what ' I was told by my friends in New Orleans I suppose that he has been the means of ex- terminating many of the Spaniards. “ The press reports contained a story to the efiect that General Maceo had enticed Weyler with many of his men into a point of ground that had been dynamited for their especial benefit and succeeded in kill- ing and wounding many of them. I was told of a second mine that had been fired when the Spanish soldiers were on it only a day or two ago. I did not get the exact date, but at the time his men were entrap- ped and led on to the ground General Wey- ler was in the city of Artemisa and knew nothing of it until the dynamite had done its deadly work. “This mine was set between the Rubi and the Cayajabo mountains by Maceo’s electrician. After it was all prepared, as in the other case, the Cubans and Spaniards engaged in battle. The Cubans, .of course, retreated, and as they did so the Spaniards followed, keeping as near them as possible. When the army was between the two moun- tains, the mines were touched off, and in a few minutes the air was filled with smoke, while dead and wounded men and horses flcw'in every direction. My friend stated that there were 5,000 Spanish sol- diers killed and wounded by the explosion of the mine. ” Havana Press Is Mad. HAVANA, Dec. 5.——The Comercio has the following editorial on the outlook for Cu- ban afl‘airs and the attitude of foreign pow— ers toward the question: “ ‘Le force prime 1e droit’ (force over- powers right), Said” Bismarck to Europe, which was heard with astonishment and to the scandal of the German empire. Spain during two years has treated the rebels and their accomplices like gentlemen. We have made sincere protests full of dignity to the United States against their jingoes calum- niatlng Spain and calling us bloody tigers in spite of the noble conduct of the army toward the Cubans. These proceedings and the language of the press are reflections upon the Yankees. ” The Comercio protests against the in- sulting anti-Spanish attitude of the Amer- ican press and its favorable attitude toward the insurgents and says: “Spain has gain- ed no consideration through diplomacy and must in future depend upon material force to command respect for its rights. Time has shown this and teaches us to sharpen our halls for a fray. ” A Ridiculous Assertion. The paper criticises the inconsistency and vacillating policy of the New York newspapers and of the London Times and says: “Americans are totally incapable of good faith, and it is time the Spaniards were convinced that only the army and navy will avail to settle the question. We suggest that a restored Spanish fleet and 300,000 men will be able to go anywhere.” The Comercio notes that Senator Morgan is already relenting in his previous desire to gobble Cuba and is now talking conserv- atively on the question. ' An editorial in La Lucha deals with the exhortation by the London and the Paris press to Spain to delivera decisive blow against the insurgents because the settle— ment of the Venezuelan question and Eng- land’s recognition of the Monroe doctrine make mediation in Cuba from Washing— ton probable as an indirect result of the Monroe doctrine. La. Lucha says of this view: “The English press has lost its serenity and good sense and its boasted impartial- ity. Other questions, such as the limits of Guiana, have no affinity with the dis- cussion of the limits of Spain’s possessions in Cuba. Since its discovery nobody has disputed Spain’s right of possession. ” With reference to the argument of the English press that the elevation of Mr. McKinley to the presidency will give an impetus to the Monroe doctrine, La Lucha expresses the belief that the new president will not allow his ideals and passions to supplant his duties as a statesman. A Tug Seized on the Mississippi. MEMPHIS, Dec. 5.—-The tug Elsa is in the hands of the government officials at Memphis wharf. The captain says he is bound for some port in South America. He does not know which one, and the own- ers of the tug state that they are taking her to New Orleans. The Elsa arrived here apparently from Sandusky, O. A dispatch from Cairo said the tug was ~ bound for Cuba with arms and ammuni- tion. Gold Contracts Still Valid. ATLANTA, Dec. 5.—Thc state senate, .by avote of 21 to 15, rejected a bill intro- duced by Senator Culver to declare null and void all obligations and contracts which may be made payable in any specific character of money, whether the same be coin or otherwise, so far as the general as- sembly is concerned. Therefore gold con- tracts may still be made in Georgia. Captain Dreyfus’ Case. PARIS, Dec. 5.—-The committee of peti- tions has rejected the petition of Mme. Dreyfus for a new trial of her husband, Captain Alfred Dreyfgsmi'ho was dismissed in disgrace from the French army on con- viction of divulging state secrets, and who is in exile.

Spanish Methods In the Country Districts. Their Tr'oops Are Suffering From Ty- phus—Raids on Nearby Towns Terrlfy Havana. KEY WEST, Dec. 4. ——-Insurgents who un- , Iler Raoul Arango and Valencia on Mon- day captured the Spanish garrison at Bu- . caranao raided Cojimar Tuesday evening I and at 10:30 o’clock at night attacked and drove in the government outposts at Guano.- I bacao, dashed into the heart of the city, [ lootedadrugstcrs and set the town on fire before finally forced to retire. Skirmishing in the outskirts continued throughout the night. Twenty-five houses in tile principal streets, including a num- ber of stores, were burned before the fire was put out. l Great alarm reigns in Havana. It is un- derstood that Arango had but 600 men and Valencia 400. Gomez has started on his march to rein- vade the great central sugar districts and relieve Maceo in the west. He crossed the J ucaro Moron trocha Sunday last, dyna- miting a. railway train loaded with Span- lsh troops sent to attack him and blowing - up two government forts, the garrisons of which had fired upon his columns. The insurgent general in'chief is report- ed to have with him between 5,000 and 7,000 troops, mostly infantry, and also sev- eral rapid firing field guns. Telegraphic advices via Cienfuegos today locate Gomez in the Saguanco mountains, awaiting the incorporation of the Sancti Spiritus forces lately led by Serafln San- chez, whose death is now fully confirmed. Quintin Banderas, in command of the Gomez advance columns, has, however, al- ready crossed Santa Clara province and is about to enter Matanzas near Hana Bana. Calixto Garcia remained in the east to organize new re-enforcements. Sick Spaniards. General Suarez Inclan and his staff of 14 ofllcers and 483 privates, all ill of fever, reached Guanajay yesterday, having come overland from Bramales in ox carts. Sev- eral sick expired on route and were inter- red on the roadside. Inclan, as well as the majority of his staff, is reported to be suffering from dyS< entery, while his trOOps are stricken with smallpox and typhoid or yellow fever. Typhus fever has appeared among Wey- ler’s Pinar del Rio forces at Los Palacios and various local garrisons along the Western railway. Additional medical-assistance has been urgently requested by wire from Havana, and six army surgeons and various local physicians left for the front yesterday. The preliminary proceedings in the Competitqr case before Naval Judge Saul in Cabanas castle were continued on Nov. 24. Captain Labdrde and George Ferrari were brought out separately and cross questioned in the presence of Teododro Maza, who has refused American protec- tion and now claims Spanish citizenship. Dr. Bedia was also re-exumined. Captain General Weyler has ordered the mayor of Los Palacios, in Pinar del Rio, to estabIISh zones in his territory to be given over to cultivation, the ground used as government camp and the abandoned farms to be allowed to the cultivator-s free of charge for two years during the war and six months afterward. This, it is expected, will do much to alleviate great misery. Lieutenant Luis Lazo recently made an extensive reconnaissance about La. Maja- gua Loms Dicente, Cayo Benito and Cayo Rioco and dispersed the insurgents in that region. The Asturias battalion made a similar reconnoissance from Guasimas to Gabalo. They encountered numerous bands of insurgents and inflicted upon them a loss of 30 killed. The encampment was destroyed as well as many dwellings. General Ruiz reconnoitered the country about nine miles between El Chivo and Sabana. The insurgents had notice of the coming of the troops and abandoned their dwellings. The column burned about 300 country dwellings and destroyed a great many fields. Sergeant Moroto and Corporal Rodriguez of the artillery have been decorated with a. cross and have been pensioned by the queen regent for saving their company from destruction by the explosion of an enormous dynamite bomb which had been placed in the road. Morton on the Currency.

SYDNEY, Dec. 4.—A representative in this city of the press has investigated the death of Miss Sadie McDonald, the Ameri- can actress, and finds there is no founda- tion for the sensational reports circulated on the subject in the United States. There is rip-truth in the statement that Julian Harris, the manager of the com- pany with which- Miss McDonald was play- ing, is holding bac “shocking news” or any other news of the death of the young actress. Miss McDonald died suddenly early on Sunday morning last of cerebral hemor- rhage and paralysis of the spine, in all probability due to overexertion. Her demise was ' quickened by a severe fall which she sustained recently while practicing handsprings at the Princess theater, Melbourne, for the last production of “The Milk White Flag,” in which she appeared. Her remains were interred here on Mon- day last, the funeral being attended by many theatrical and other friends and by all the members of the company to which she belonged. . NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-—Sadie McDonald was born in Brooklyn. She was about 26 years old and first attracted attention at the Academy of Music some four years ago, in “The Black Crook,” and has re- cently been a member of Hoyt’s company. Her name was at one time intimately associated in a matrimonial way with that of Jack McAulifl’e, the pugilist. In Syd- ney Miss McDonald crested quite a sensa- tion. According to a dispatch from Chicago, dated Wednesday last, the Earl of Shaftes- bury had become so smitten with the charms of the American soubrette that he presented her with diamonds said to be valued at $50,000, and it was added that their engagement had been announced at the clubs of Sydney and throughout theat- rical circles. The present Earl of Shaftesbury is about 27 years of age, a lieutenant in the Tenth hussars, aid—de-camp to Lord Brassey, the governor of New South Wales, and only son of the late Earl of Shaftesbury, who died in 1885, a peer who was noted for his piety. , The East African Massacre.

This is Norwalk Testimony and Therefore Reliable. When a remedy has no equal it is up to date and a little in advance of all other remedies for a specified com- plaint. Medical theory of old times hold that a medicine‘ containing a little of each kind for every ill should make a remedy for all complaints. We laugh at such foolishness to-dny and wonder it was ever thought wisdom. The max- im to-dsv is learn what the disease is and apply the remedy which has proven the most direct and radical. Special- ties rule the day, and a single organ, its disorders and how to cure it, is the highest distinction in the medical pro— iession. 'l'ho kidneys are wonderfully constructed. Do you know jhstwhat their functions are? They are the lab- oratories of the body for the RENOVA- TING of the blood BEFORE ITS USE AGAIN. Read that carefully. Every pulsation of the heart sends out the blood to give life to. the body. When it picks up the poisons in its course it goes to the kidneys to be made new for use again. If the kidneys are weak they cannot do the work, and uric poison stamps out the life of the blood. Doan’s Kidney Pills cor-‘ rect all dicorders cf the kidneys and keep these laboratories true purifiers of the blood. N orwalk people are fast learning this. Read the following case; Mrs. Joseph Whitley, residing at No. 51 Belden avenue, hasn’t had mnew set of kidneys, she hardly needed that, still she had to plumb up the old, ones as theyhad become clogged and as a consequence she was a sufi‘erer from backache. Queer expression isn’t it, plumb the kidneys; but it’s right. Doan’s Kidney Pills are nature’s plumb- ers and it was simply the working of , these little wonders on the kidneys that done away the headache for. Mrs. Whit- ley. She says in brief:——"I got a box ' of Doau’s Kidney Pills at Glendenning Sr Co.’s drug store and took them for backache with satisfactory results.
