PRICES FULLY MAINTAINED,
New York, July 14.-R. G. Dun A
Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
Good news predominates, although
unfavorable weutlicr proved a draw-
back at many points and new labor
disputes arose. There is less than the
customary midsummer idleness in man-
ufacturing Industries, despite the
scarcity of fuel. Commodity prices are
fully maintained. Railway earnings
thus far available for Juno average 9.0
per cent larger-than last year sand
20.8 per cent above those of 1900. New
England shoe shops are more fully
engaged than at any previous time
during this year. Union leather is
Arm, but domestic buyers are taking
little hemlock, the best inquiry being
for export. Upper leather is active at
the west. A large purchase of packer
hides lias strengthened the tone of
Chicago, while Texas hides arrive more
freely and concessions are made. Ex-
port orders for cotton goods are still
disappointing, and the home demand
is quiet, yet mills are occupied. At the
south there is a disposition to delay
spinning until the new crop begins to
more, and this tendency is also report-
ed in England. In woolens the best
feature is tiie re-order business in
heavy weights, quick delivery being
desired.
Corn has again been the prominent
feature of the markets for domestic
staples. Speculators at the west se-
cured control of the 8,000,000 bushels
in the visible supply, and compelled
the short interests to cover contracts
at disastrously high prices. Farmers’
reserves are evidently insignificant,
for attractive prices do not bring out
even a fair volume of receipts. Wheat
was quiet and strong and exports from
all parts of the United States were
only 2,250,093 bushels, compared with
4,35‘.t-'3G bushels a year ago.

Manhattan, Kas., July 15.—The Blue
river reached a stage of 20.9 feet above the department of labor, is assisting in
Oyster Bay, July 15.—One of the
most important questions discussed by
the president and Secretary Root was
that relating to Oovernor Taft’s nego-
tiations with the Vutican respecting
the Philippine friars. Both Mr. Roose-
velt and the secretary of war deem it
unwise that the friars should remain
in tiie archipelago with the prestige
which they now possess. Tito attitude
the friars assume is regarded not only
as a menace to the peace of the islands
but also as an obstruction to tlicir gov-
ernment and to the civilization of their
inhabitants.
No statement of the conclusion
readied by the president and Secretary
Root could be ohtaiued at Sagamore
Hill, but, unofficially, it is understood
that a note is being drafted in response
to that transmitted by the pope
through Governor Taft to the adminis-
tration. As Governor 'fait stated the
negotiations, it is likely that the re-
ply of this government will be sent
to the Vatican authorities through him.
Ample assurance is given that the Uni-
ted States will take strong ground in
support of its contention that the friars
mi st be eliminated from tiie Philip-
piae equation. It is said that no offi-
cial statement of any phase of tbs sit-
uation will be made public until the
negotiations with the Vatican have
been concluded and that then the an-
nouncement will be made from Wash-
ington.
Civil Federation 1’erelete.
Wilkesbarre, I*a., July 14.—The As-
sociated Press iB able to announce that
the National Civil Federation, which
tried so hard to prevent the anthracite
coal miners strike, has not exhausted
all its means in an effort to bring about
peace in the anthracite coal fields. The
investigation which was started soon
after the miners laid down their picks,
is still in progress and it is understood
that the federal government, through

Chicago, July 14.—After reoelvlng
the consent of the freight handlers,
the members of the board of arbitra-
tion prepared a list of demands for the
men to present to tic railroads and
tliey said they were assured that they
would be acceptable to the railroads.
Tiie general managers said that they
would meet tho men and use every
possible means to reach a settlement.
There was rioting, but nobody was
seriously Injured. The chief sufferers
were teamsters who tried to deliver
goods at the freight houses. All tho
streets leading to the stations were
picketed and it was impossible for u
teamster to get a load to any depot
without being stopped. The drivers
for the commission houses informed
their employers that they would handle
goods for tho Lake Lines and for the
Express companies, hut they would
not deliver anything to the freight
houses or haul anything away from
them.
This means, according to the com-
mission men, that $500,000 worth of

Arrested For Fencing Public Land.
Topeka, July 12.—Deputy United
States Marshal Biddle arrested Fred
Schults, of Scott county, on the charge
of fencing in government lands.
Schults has fenced up a big tract of
land, including several government
J quarter sections. The government or-
dered all fences down around public
land. Schults refused to tear his fence
down and was indicted. He was
released on 8-500 bond. This is the
first prosecution to he brought under
the fence law.

Boert Iterate to Take Oath.
Bloomfontein, Orange River Colony,
July 14. — Difficulty has arisen regard-
ing the oath of allegiance, many of the
Beer commandants, field cornets and
officials of the late Free State govern-
ment refuse to sign the oath, though
few of them refuse to sign the docu-
ment called “The Declaration," ac-
knowledging King Edward the sover-
eign. The oath of allegiance, however,
is much more binding.
Heavy Lott of Life.
Johnstown, l'a., July 14.—It can be
stated that of the 000 men supposed to
have entered the mouth of the rolling
mill mine of tiie Cambria Steel com-
pany, ninety are known to be dead and
twenty-two readied. Four hundred,
so the mine officials claim, escaped
when the explosion occurred, leaving
eighty-eight still to bo accounted for.
One df the volunteer rescuers who
game out with this load of deal stated
that fire was raging in parts of the
mine. Most of those who were brought
out alive had saved themselves by
crawling into a chamber and turning
a valve on the compressed air pipe line
which runs along the entry.
Negotiation With the Vatican.
Washington, July 14.—The negotia-
tions now in progress at the Vatican
respecting the Philippine Friars and
their lands will not fail. Of that the
administration officials here feel cer-
tain. It was realized at the beginning,
when Governor Taft’s instructions
were framed, that tliey represented thu
exactness of our claims and that they
did not preclude the idea of reasonable
compromise. The negotiations are
progressing. This government will not
secure everything it is desired.
