I .Sept. 17.4—‘There. are
some recent developments in the Alger—
Miles situation ,which are gratifying
to the friends of General Miles. Impor-

There will be no escape from this in-

from secrecy and silence. General
Miles proposes to contribute no further

Test! at Parties
New York, Sept. 17.s—Fifteen of the
Rough Riders, led by S. A. Kennedy,
Went to Central Park yesterday with
the big eagle the regiment had pre-
'ented to Colonel Roosevelt, and which
iad been the regiment’s mascot during
be war. ‘ ' _
Colonel Roosevelt decided to send it
to Central Park for a time. where it
:ould be seen by visitors. It is a. splen-
iid bird. measuring seven feet and a.
half from wing to wing.
Kennedy and the others took the
eagle to the office 'of Superintendent
Smith, giving that official the following
tote: ’ ,
“This is the golden eagle (the Indi—
ins call it the war eagle) which the
Rough Riders had as their mascot. Just
it this moment I have no place to
keep him. Will you-keep him for me?
lwlll arrange the terms later.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.”
The eagle had a bit of manila rope
fastened to one leg. The bird was ac-
:epted by Superintendent Smith and
placed in a cage with other eagles.
Kennedy kissed the bird on parting,
and several of the Rough Riders were
40 affected at taking leave of the bird
that they cried. V“ »

"Angeli expressed somewhat despondent
Iiews as to the condition of Crete.
,“‘The powers," he; said, "must act
vigorously. In any event they will find
they have hard work before them. The

who has acquired extraordinary pres-

K ouws WEEKLY REVIEW. 1.3
,-
. ing and More is Being Done.
New-York, Sept. 17.—Business is pas-
sing well through the difliculties that
attend the winding up of a war, which
are generally greater than those in-
volved while the war is in progress.
The rush of orders kept back while the
war lasted, by those whothought it
shrewd not to take anychahcos, has
lifted prices a little and caus’ed'a lar-
ger demand for the time thancan con-
tinue, but though it has passed there
is ample evidence that the, consuming
"demand is very large. How large can
only be .judged after some’weeks of
waiting, but_once more it_.looks as if
- those who wait longest are likely to
pay most. The business of the country
is expanding so that payments through
clearing houses in the second week of
September were? 22.5 per cent. larger
than in 1892, and for two weeks 12.0
per cent. larger. From these and rail-
way returns, and such trade reports as
are instructive, it must be concluded
that much more business is being done
than in the best of past years, though
not alWays with much profit.
. Wheat has come forward much more
freely, and the price has advanced two
cents. It is supposed that the advance
is largely due to milling demand com-
ing upon a narrow supply. Exports are
large, 3,007,976 bushels, flour included,
from Atlantic, and 201,052 bushels from
Pacific ports, and for two weeks 5,-
697,320 bushels from both coasts,
against 10,796,853 last year. Widely dif-
fering accounts of foreign supplies and
demands do not explain the market,
but it may be noticed that a large flour
contract has been closed at Seattle for
Russia, and receipts of wheat for two
weeks of September have been 14,663,-
895 bushels, against 14,697,106 last year.
One certainty there is, that the foreign
demand will be smaller and the Amer-
ican crops larger than last year.
With the starting of 19 furnaces idle
a month ago, partly not included as
yet, the weekly output September lsl
was 213,043 tons, against 206,777 August
It, and the decrease in stocks 116,929
tons in two months, indicates a. con-
sumption but little below a million tons
per month. Structural work is the
heaviest ever known at Pittsburg,
though smaller than last year at New
York.
Important cotton mills have stopped
and print cloths hold 2.06 cents, with
other cotton goods unyielding, but
cheap material hinders operations for
those. who have to sellfgoods made
from higherpriced - cotton, '.W.oolen
mills represent'ratherbetter orders, al-
' -v»o-
who have not old. wool bidding much
below the current prices, which are so
far maintained that“ sales for two
weeks have been only 6,635,300 pounds;
against 36,629,400 last year, and 17,015,-
and shoes progress of the manufacture
is also stopped by dear material, and
dealers are buying as little as they
can, but prices of leather do not
change, andshidesare slightly strong-
er. .
1 Stocks are a shadeqhigher, averaging
, nineteen cents per share for the week,
though the-speculative industulals av--
erage '22 cents per share lower.
The returns of foreign trade show
l
l
$335,429,950 excess of exports over im— ' '
ports in August, against $40,920,445 un-
der ,the _extraordinary_ conditions a
' year ago, with the biggest export more-
| merit ever knownih August. Withjess
lthan $4,000,000 paid by specie, imports
I less eXports, and liberal all6Wance for
interest and the like, the country has
added more than $23,000,000 to its un-
liquidated demands against Europe,
and $2,600,000 gold has been started this
way. Failures in two weeks have been
in amount $2,127,452 against $4,352,631
last year, and $7,909,462 in 1896. Manu-
facturing have been $743,105, against
$904,178 last year, and $4,246,148 in 1896,
and trading $1,301,347, against $1,622,956
last year, and $3,180,149 in 1896. Failures
’ for the week have been 174 in the Uni-
ted States, against 204 last year, and
'23 in Canada, against 40 last year.

Terrible Result of the Hurricane that
I Svat the “'lndward Islands.
London, Sept. 17.—James S. Hay, gov-
ernor of Barbadoes, telegraphs to the
colonial office that the latest accounts
of the effects of the hurricane which
swept the Windward islands last Sat-
urday night and Sunday were even
' more terrible than previous reports in-
dicated. Ten thousand huts were eith-
er destroyed or badly damaged and 50,-
000 persons are homeless.
The lord mayor of London‘will open
} a fund at the Mansion House for the
relief of the sufferers by the hurricane.
Sir Cornelius Moloney, governor of
the Windward islands, cables to the co-
lonial office that the British adminis-
trator of the island of St. Vincent has
informed him that the supply of food
there is running short, and asks that
a steamship with supplies be sent at
once.
Accordingly Sir Cornelius will send
to Kingston five hundred barrels of
fish and one hundred barrels of rice by
the next mail steamship.
0n the island of Trinidad the people
are without food or shelter, and orders
have been given to her majesty’s\ships
in the West Indies to supply them with
provisions, which can be procured from
Jamaica and Halifax sooner than from
any other point. .
European Gold for Us.
New York, Sept. 17.-—-The firm of Zim-

The steamship Fuerst Bismarck,
which arrived from Europe yesterday,
brought fifteen thousand pounds in gold
& Co., and $20,000 consigned to Kountze

‘rived from Europe Thursday, brought
eighty thousand pounds in gold con-
signed to Lazard Freres. ' .

An Addmss to the Army. The Debt Owed
10 America.
W'ashington, Sept. 17.—Senor Quesa-
da of the Cuban junta has received an
address to the Cuban army, issued by
President Masso of the Cuban repub-
lic. In part it is as follows:
“The United States of North Amer-
ica, from the moment the cry of Feb-
ruary 24 was given, rose alarmed, cast-
ing its eyes across the small sea which
separates us towards this bloody and
agitated land.
“Moved by our convulsions, the Uni-
ted States could not continue to live
the pleasant life which their prosperity
guaranteed them, and which other
countries, indifferent to our misfort-
unes, have continued to live. ,
“The United States gave in their cit-
ies hospitality to our people; in their
manufactories our rifles were made:
from their shores came numerous ex-
peditions; their press, with immense
and constant clamor, called for justice,
praising our triumphs, publishing our
sufferings, encouraging us with their
sympathy and promise of help, while
it protested against and condemned the
atrocities of Spain.
SAmericah diplomacy drove the infa-
mous Weyler out and terminated *the
criminal policy of concentration; the
United States have continued their
great work of humanity and justice,
sacri Eing their own' peace, offering
their own treasure and giving their
own noble blood, constituting them-
selves the executioners of their ver-
dict by which the empire of Spain is
forever extinguished in the Antilles,
and Cuba becomes sovereign in the en-
joyment of her independence.
“Every Cuban heart, therefore, In-
stead of bitterness and sorrow, must
be proud of having done its duty and
grateful to its protector. -
“The American people, our ally of
yesterday, our host of to-day, our
friend always, is contemplating Cuba
and will witness our constitution. Let
Cuba be worthy of herself and she will
be worthy of the friendship of the Uni-
ted States.
“The Cuban army will do its part, it
having fought under the motto e..-
bodying our ideals: Country and lib-
erty. We have at last a. country and
will deserve liberty."

from New York on September 6, for
Liverpool, which was yesterday repor-
ted off the south coast of Ireland, dis-
abled and in tow, arrived here at two
o’clock in the morning. , .
The captain of the Aurania reports
that the. crank shaft broke at 9.30 p.

subsequently, took her in tow. .
All on board the Aurania are well.
The sea was calm during the passage, 5
and no unusual incidents, with the ex- '
ception of the breaking of the shaft,
are to be recorded. '

THE DREYFUS SCANDAL.
the Cabinet to Vote To-day for a Revi-
sion of the Matter.
Paris, Sept. 17.—The newspapers here
say that he minister of justice, M. Sar-
rien, has completed the examination of
the documents in the Dreyfus case, and
will communicate to the ministers at
the cabinet council to-day his inten-
tion to refer the matter to a. commisu
sion competent to undertake a ,revis-
ion of the proceedings. The general
opinion is that the cabinet will adopt
the proposal for a revision of the case.
The only member likely to vote in the
negative is the minister for war, Gen-
eral Zurlinden, who yesterday\ inform-
ed the minister of justice that he in-
tended to resign if it developed that
colleagues. '
The, Figaro, Matin and Rappel say
that t ey believe that, in case General
Zurlinden resigns, M. Brisson, the pre-
mier, is resolved to take the portfolio
of minister of war and give the port-
folio of minister of the interior to M.
Vallis. ,
According to the Gaulois, the result
of the decision of the minister of jus-
tice will be a ministerial crisis, as, this
paper claims, other ministers will also
resign. -
Francs Urged to Hang on"
, Paris, Sept. 17.——The Echo de Paris,
in an article (in the situation in Africa,
says that General Kitchener would not
dare» to fire upon the French forces
under Major Marchand at Fashoda, for
France is behind that force for good or
bad.
England, the paper declares, must
:onsent to a European conference un-
less she wants war.
The Journal urges inflexibility on the
part of France, as the surrender of Fa-
shoda would cause the downfall of the
government.
Liberte and Le Temps contend that

and white cocker spaniel named Hec-
tor, says a lady correspondent.
On one occasion my husband was
taken 'very ill in the night and, as
morning came. I saw that he would
be unable to go to his oiiice. lkuéw
that I must convey the information
to his brother, who is his assistant in
business, as early as possible.
Now this brother was very fond of
thidog, and at his house the family
often had at breakfast a certain kind
of Indian cake, whiéh Hector was
very fond of. Regularly every morn-
ing, as soon as he was let out of doors,
he would steer straight for the house,
that he might wheedle them "into giv-
ing him his beloved cake.
On this particular morning I called
him to me, and told him his master
was sick, and I was going to send him
to the express oflice to tell Uncle
George. He was very fond of carry-
ing parcels in his mouth, but for fear
of some other dog confiscating the
note, I said to him: _
“I am going to pin this paper to your
collar so you won't lose it, and now,
this morning, you must not go after
your cake; but I want you to go
straight to the office, and go to Uncle
George and ask him to take this note
from your collar.”
He looked at me, drinking in every
word. I let him out, and went to a
window. from which I could see the
office, to note what he would do.
The, office is in exactly an opposite
direction from the house of the cake.
Straight on toward the oflice went the
faithful dog. and when he passed the
corner, where the roads diverge, he
gave one longing look up that street,
but he never stopped, and I saw him
put‘up a‘paw and knock at the oilice
door, and be admitted.
My husband’s brother told us that
he came straight up to him and turn-
ed himself round, to have the note
taken at his collar, and seemed de-
lighted to think all our plans had been
so well carried-out.
McKinley and Roosevelt.
Some time before'the war began,
While he was Assistant Secretary of
the Navy, Mr. Roosevelt could hardly
restrain his impatience over what he
considered t00 deliberate progress of
the Administration in bringing on the
crisis with Spain. In one of his oc-
casional vocal explosions he let out
such a. curdling‘ declaration as this:
{The blood of 250,000 murdered
Cubans lies at the door of the White
Houself . ~. ‘ ,
The" statement that 'Mr. Recsevelt
had employed such language about
the Administration of which he was a.
part was laid before the President,
With the suggestion that it called for
some rebuke. :
f‘No,” said the President, “I don’t
think we had better pay any attention
to it. y We may need this hot young
blood later on." ’
And so it turned out.
