New York, April 2..—R G. Dun &

this 11*o1n1ng, says: In spite of foreign
conditions since the destruction of the

while there is some decline in the new
orders for industries nearly all live

in active times again prevails.

Navy Deparhnant Develops a Policy of

Tilne of Arrival.
Vashington, April 2.——The State. War
and Navy Department building was
alive from end to end to-day. There 1
is an increasing tendency of the offi—
cials not to impart news of the pro—
si‘iective movements of ships and other
details of an important character, as
too much publicity mi orht inter'fele ser-
iously with the arrangements and in—
tentions of the department.
Some news of the sighting of the
Spanish torpedo flotilla, on its way
from the Canary Islands to Porto Rico,
is anxiously awaited. Strong‘tr-ade
winds prevail, which, if met by the
fleet, will seriously impede its passage.
But if the conditions are favorable it
is believed that the .armval of the fleet
at Porto Rico may be expected next
Monday or Tuesday.

STEVE BRODIE A FAKI'R.
The Fellow Shame-Facedly Explains How
the Report of His Death Was Worked.
New York, April 1’.—Steve Brodie
isn't dead. He is still in flesh and a.
big fakir. He came back to New
York yesterday—«and it was not in a
casket as the Bowery 'h'ad feared. At
the Grand Central depot he found a
dead wagon waiting to meet him and
he laughed a loud, hoarse laugh.
The individual had planned his tart—
est b-id for notoriety well. After pre-
tending to be sick and on the verge of
the grave, he slipped away from his
‘theatrical” company and boarded a
train for home. A safe distance out
he telegraphed back to his manager his
own death and the manager “done the
rest.”
The ruse was completely successful.
Columns of space were given him be-
cause i't was thought. that even such
a notorious notoriety-seeker as Brod-1e
would hesitate to advertise himself by
shocking his relatives with a. telegram
announcing hjls sudden death.
The fellow was seen at his saloon by
(-1 reporter. and it is but fair to him to
say that he looked shame—faced when
he told the folio-wing story:
"I am a. sick man, dead straight. On
the train the doc. gave me an overdose
of morphine. and the coon couldn’t
wake me up in the morning. He tel—
i egraphs back on the quick to me man-
: ager in Chicago that I’m dead. and on
the Jevol that’s how it happened.“

OHIO PREPARES FOR WAR.
Bills Introduced in Legislature Appro-

Columbus, 0., April 2.—Two war
measures were yesterday introduced in
the Ohio Legislature, and it is hinted
that they were inspired by Governor
Bushnell and Adjutant-General Axline
as the result of secret advices from
W’ashington.
Senator Riley introduced a bill ap-
propriating $1,000,000 for the defense of
the State of Ohio and the ports of the
Federal Government in the event of
war with Spain. '
Representative Taylor introduced a
bill carrying an appropriation of $300,-

in anticipation of a call to arms by the
President.
Both these bills passed to second

company. At the recent investigation
into the charges of bribery in connec-

bill, which had been introduced in
councils, the names of Seger, Byram

by witnesses, as having figured in
questionable transactions with regard
to the extraordinary attempts made
to pass the bill.
Judges Bregy and Gordon issued the
warrants for the arrest of Green, Seger
and Bryam. Shortly afterward the
men surrendered themselves. Green
was held in $50,000 ball-l and the others
in $10,000 each for; a hearing next Sat-

POINTSTIN THE REPLY.
Necessary to Consult Cortes About Cuban
Independence.
\Vashing'ton, April 2.-—-The reply of
Spain is said, in effect, to be:
The independence of Cuba means the
parting or cession of Spanish territmy,
which cannot be done without the con-
sent of the Spanish Cortes, which is
not in session, and will not be in' ses-
sion until April 24th, and consequently
no definite answer can be returned to‘
the demand of the United States until
the Cortes assembles. 7
Then a counter proposition is submit:
.ted, that the Cuban matter shal be set-
tled upon a basis equitable among na-
tions.
The United States is asked to give
Spain time to treat with the insurgents
and ascertain what can be don-e in the
nature of a. peaceful settlement. .
It is said the reply is unsatisfactory
to the President, and that .he does not
believe it will be satisfactory to Con~
gres-s.
Senatms who know the nature of the
reply say it is a. very shrewd piece of
diplomacy, and made fo‘ its effect upon
the world at large.
No one about the Capitol has under.
taken to speak for the President, a1-
tlrough those who have seen him say
that .his hopes of a. peaceful solution
of the difficulty have been disappointed
by the reply of Spain.

"There is much to sympathize with
in the attitude of both Spain and
America. It is easy to see how two
proud nations, without many bonds of
traditional or social sympathy, may
find themselves involved before they
fully realize the peril in the grim real--
ities of war.
"It is neat unnaturally suspected that
Spain’s reply to the United States is
a. device to gain time and to defer the
war to the malariouls season in Cuba.
If Cuba could attain any form of re-

account of the refusal of the coal oper—

there was an immense gathering of the
miners of the Kanawha and New River

in these valleys less than six hundred
were at work. The men were urged to
be moderate in their methods, but not
