Jem Roche, the champion of Ire- " land, who haa been backed : by a syndicate hea.ded by Richard Croker. the former Tammany leader, to fight Jiurns in Dublin on Ft.

The fight waa for $2,500 a side and 7S per cent, of the gate receipts. The odds were to on the American but there was very ' little betting. There were no takers for beta offtr ed bv Palmer that lie would stay 6 rounds.

Attorney GciM-ral'M I::jcg and Uie Im IHrcsMion TiH'y tilvo. f'aehinton Correspondence Brooklyn Eagle, It la a bad thing for a public man to gain the reputation of being a liu tivarlat. Attorney Ueneral Bonaparte Is finding thia out to his sorrow and Is complaining because the newspupera will Insist that he ia joking when he talks about panics, trust bursting and tther more or lesa alarming features vf national life. The Attorney 'General went out to Chicago a couple weeks ago and maJe a speech. Afterward he waa in terviewed about the panic by some of he newspaper men. The next morn ing -the Ohlcago editorial writers Jumped on the government's law offi cer and accused him of treating in a eplrlt of levity the panic and the suf fering entailed by the hard times. When Mr. Bonaparte returned to Waahlngton. lie found It neceiwary to Issue a public statement explaining (hat he wax hot joking when he was talking about the panic and that he tneant every word he said. This week Mr, Bonaparte had occa sion to announce that the government "would soon prosecute the Ilarrlman tailroaJs. "Please make a point of aaying." he pleaded to the newspapef men, "that lam perfectly serious and am not attempting to deal with this (luestion in , spirit of levity. I call ipon Assistant Attorney General Coo ley here," he said, indicating his as sistant, who was present, "to bear 1tnes that I am In dead earnest and tiot Joking In this matter. Don't fail make thla clear." With that the Attorney General Kurst into hearty laughter. AH the while that he wan insisting that he was wholly serious, the Attorney Gen eral's eyes were sparkling with glee ' and his- face waa beaming with that pecvilar iknaparte smile. It Is an easy matter for one not familiar with ihe manners of the- Baltimorean to be deceived about the utate or bia feel ings. He will discuss the moat pro found proposition with a waggish rllnt in his merry eyes and with auggestjona of laughter playing about Ms lips. These mannerisms, togeth er with the the fact that Mr. Bona yarte la known as a coiner of witty remarlta. often cause the green Inter viewer to believe that he is Joking when ha Is absolutely serious. There were 1.722 failures, with JSJ. 418,689 in liabilities, in January, 1908. Compared with January, 1907, 'there Is shown an Increase of SS per cent. In the number of failures, and the casualties In the first month of this year were more than double those of any preceding January since monthly records were compiled, and were throe and one-half times larger than thoje of January. 1907. These returns prove the correctness of predictions that It would remain for the present year to reveal tha full effects of the financial storm of the la-t quarter of 1907. Every Important section of the country, except the Territories, shows an enlarged number of rasualtlea and heavier liabilities than a year ago, but one Is especially struck by the larger relative Increases shown In the Southern and far-Western groups. In the former group the Increase over January a year ago Is tl per cent., and the failures In the far West are dou ble those of a year ago. Xew Eng land and the Northwest show " the smallest. Increases, IS and 27 per cent., respectively, while the Middle States' failures Increased 45 per cent., and those In the Western group Increased 67 per cent. The Southern group In January had 43 more failures than t'ne Middle group, though In the year 1907. as a whole, the Middle group had 53 per cent, more than the South. The number-of Individuals, firms and corpora- j Hons in business In the Middle group l 4K per cent. larger than In the South. New Tork City In January, as In Oc tober last, bore the brunt of the lia bilities. While the failures In the rreafer cltv Increased by 50 per cent.. the liabilities were nearly five times as large, owing to the swelling of this item by a comparatively few large nnnnolal suspensions. Failures In Canada In January num bered 201. or almost double the num ber reported In January. 1907. while the liabilities aggregated 12.127.251 a xotal over three and one-half times that recorded In the same month year ago, ' I.OCAL OFFICB I H.
