emitting a watery-like substance, apparently
poisonous. One of the leading doctors here

DUN’S WEEKLY REVIEW
During September.
New York, Oct. 1.——Eailures .in Sep-
tember have been about $6.700,000, and
for the quarter about $22,875,000. No
report covering the exact month or
quarter is possible this week for a jour-
nal which must go to press on Friday,
the 30th, but the returns indicate a
smaller aggregate of failures than in
any other month in many years except
in August of this year, and smaller
for the quarter than in any other quar-
ter since 1892.
Changes are all for the better except-
ing the fall of cotton to the lowest point
for fifty years, and even the lowest
prices of 1848, considering difference of
qualities, were perhaps not lower than
prices this week.
While the stagnation in wool contin-
ues, with sales even smaller than in
the same month of the panic year, 1893,
numerous mills have started tempora-
rily in order to get out sample pieces.
The demand for boots and shoes
seems a little better, and recorded ship—
ments have beeen larger than in Sep-
tember of any previous year except the
last, and larger than in any other year
from January 1 to date.
With pig iron firm everywhere, in
spite of the extraordinary output, and
Bessemer held at $10.40 at Pittsburg,
while Valley producers report 230,000
tons sold for delivery before June next,
the consumption is evidently g wing.
Car, locomotive, bridge and s ructu-
ral work is exceedingly heavy, and
there are signs of decrease in the de—
mand. .
Wheat rose 2 1-2 cents, but on Thurs—
day declined sharply, closing two cents
lower for the week, notwithstanding
week to 4,911,022 bushels against 5,092,-
186 last year, and for four weeks to
15,011,962 bushels, against 20,661,315 last
year, flour included.
Corn is a fraction lower, with some
decrease in export demand, though the
recent shipments would have been con~
sidered heavy in any year until the
last, and can hardly be continued long.
Foreign commerce has been a little
smaller in exports and larger in im-
ports, and yet the returns from New
York still indicate another heavy ex-
cess of exports, probably about $54,—
000,000 for the month, making $114,000,-
000 for the quarter. Shipments of gold
to this country have been $17,325,000
since the movement began, of which
$5,750,000 is nearly due, and lower rates
for money here are naturally followed
by an increase of about a third in the
proportion of commercial loans taken
by the leading banks.
GEN. MERRITT’S REPORT.
The Conditions That Met Rim at Manila
Previous to the Arlnlstice.
Washington, Oct. 1.—~The report of
Major General Wesley Merritt of his
operations about Manila was made pub-
lic at the war department yesterday.
It is dated on board the transport Chi—
na, August 31, and after giving briefly
the story of his embarkation and arri-
val at Manila, and the disposition of
the troops there, he says:
“I found General Greene’s command
encamped on a. strip of sandy land
running parallel to the shore of the
bay and not far distant from the beach,
but owing to the great difficulties of
landing supplies, the greater portion
of the force had shelter tents only, and
were suffering many discomforts, the
camp being situated in a low, flat place
without shelter from the heat of the
tropical sun or adequate protection
during the terrific downpours of rain
so frequent at this season of the
year.
“I was at once struck by the exem—
plary spirit of patient, even cheerful
endurance shown by the officers and
men under such circumstances, and
this feeling of admiration for the man—
ner in which the American soldier—
volunteer and regular alike—eccepts the
necessary hardships of the work he has
undertaken to do has grown and in-
creased with every phase of the diffi-
cult and trying campaign which the
troops of the Philippine expedition
have brought to such a brilliant and
successful conclusion.
“As General Aguinaldo did not visit
me on my arrival nor proffer his ser—
vices as~a subordinate military leader,
and as my instructions from the presi—
dent fully contemplated the occupa—
tion of the islands by the American
land forces, and stated that the pow-
ers of the military occupant are ab«
solute and supreme, and immediately
operate upon the political condition of
the inhabitants, I did not consider it
wise to hold any direct communication
with the insurgent leader until I should
be in possession of the city of Manila,
especially as I would not until then
be in a. position to issue a proclama-
tion and enforce my authority in the
event that his pretensions should clash
with my designs.
“For these reasons the preparations
for the attack on the city Were pres--
sed and military operationsflrconducted
without reference to the situation of
the insurgent forces.
THE WAR INQUIRY.
Gen. Lee to Appear Before the Commis-
sion.
Washington, Oct. 1.—The war inves-
tigating commission has decided to
ask General Lee to follow General
Wheeler in giving testimony concern-
ing the charges made against the war
department, and suggested Wednes-
day of next week as a. date when he
could be heard.
commission on Tuesday, and will be
interrogated both about Camp Wikoi‘f
and the Santiago campaign, the ex-
amination concerning Santiago cover-
ing especially the facilities for. caring
for the sick and wounded, and the pre-
cautions taken to preserve the health
of the men in the trenches.
. The commissioners say that their
purpose is to make a. very complete in—
vestigation of these features of the
Santiago siege, but ice Chairman
Denby said yesterday that the policy
of calling General Miles or General
Shatter had not been under considera-
tion. The decision to call General Lee
also at an early date was reached yes-
terday because of the knowledge of the
fact that he is in the city and is liable
soon to be ordered to Cuba.

FRENCH AUTUMN GOWN 0F BROWN CASHMERE FROM HARPER’S BAZAR
Paris Autumn Gown.
A gown of light brown cashmere,
trimmed in tunic fashion, is most char-
acteristic of what is new in winter
modes. Narrow guipure over black
velvet followa the line 'of the double
shaped ruffle, the latter appearing as a.
continuation of the bodice, While over
the shoulders is a circular bretelle.
The jacket. part beneath‘is out in 'a
sharp point above the waist line, dis-
closing a vest and belt of velvet in the
new tone of ruby red. This little
waistcoat opens over a chemisette' of
Irish lace. The bretelle broadens at
the shoulder, rendering more graceful
the top of the plain close sleeve, then
is divided at the back below the high
straight collar. *
The skirt, very smooth over the hips,
has no pleat or shirt-lugs at the waist
line, the back breadths being sleped
THE PEACE COMMISSION. ,
Prep rations for the Final Negotiations.
Paris, Oct. 1.—The United States
peace commission has taken possession
of its working quarters, a suite of
seven rooms on the ground floor of the
Hotel Cltinental. at the corner of the
Rue de Rivoli and the Rue Royal,
commanding the Tuilleries gardens,
and formerly used by the ex-Empress
Eugenie. Later they were occupied by
the Behring sea commission and by
United States Commissioner Peck, who
has just moved into his offices on the
Exposition grounds. American flags
drape the entrance of the peace com-
mission’s apartments.
The clerical force of the commission
has been systematized and is now
working busily.
The spirit of the Paris press is daily
tion of the commissioners, and the
same thing is done with the newspa-
pers of Madrid.
and authorities affecting the case of
the United States were unpacked yes~
terday and carefully arranged.
The Spanish commissioners formally
deny the various interviews and para-
graphs purporting to give the subs-
tance of their instructions, which have
appeared in the newspapers.
retary of the Spanish commission said
to the representative of the Associated
Press, with the ‘American commission:
“No member of Our commission has
given any interview, and all which
have appeared in print as to our in-
structions are false. We are here to
.defend ourselves, and. naturally, we
are not willing to give any of our
weapons to our opponents."
Surgery on Snakes.
Snakes in captivity, it seems, some-
times find difliculty in getting rid of
the skin. which is shed every year. An
Austrialian diamond snake in the Bom-
succumb, was quite blind and re-
fused all food. A European sympa-
snake keeper into service to hold the
snake, and himself, with a pair of
sharp-pointed scissors. performed the
delicate and risky operation of clip-
ping away the membrane which ad-
hered to the eyes. -
J. M. Phipson, editor of the Journal
of the Bombay Natual History Soci-
ety, performed a far more dangerous
operation a couple of years ago. His
patient was a large hamadryad, or
king cobra, the most .vicious and poi-
sonous of all Indian snakes, and a
most powerful creature to boot. Mr.
Phipson gripped the king cobra round
the neck and a native literally held on
for his life further down, and when
the reptiles struggles were over 'a' third
