tng a conciliatory disposition and
that x the settlement of ques
tions in dispute is only a matter of a
few days. The Associated Iress, how
ever, learhs that the ambassadors at
Constantinople are hopeful that the ne
gotiations will be concluded in about a
week, in the sense of Turkey's accept
ance of the peace conditions proposed
by the powers. There is now little doubt
the Sultanhas decided to agree to the
j (ji'vAcuafion of Thessaly, and the Turk
ish public is bejng prepared for this
step; The police of Constantinople
have been ordered to confiscate the
leaflets which are being circulated, de
manding the annexation of the con
quered territory as a duty devolving
upon the sultan. The war songs are
also being suppressed in order to stifle-J
tho fanaticism of the lower classes.
It is considered probable that the
conclusion of peace between Turkey
ami Greece will be followed by a com
plete change of the Turkish cabinet, as
the palace clique will endeavor to sad
dle the ministry with all the responsi
bility for the peace conditions. -

majorities of from 8 to 14. The votes

June 4th. The Senkie met at 11
o'clock and had a period! of speech-making
and as a result little progress was
made on the tariff bill. The advance
covered about two pages,! or seven par
agraphs, and brought tie Senate up to
the wool scdedule, the first itemof
which was considered,! but f not com
pleted. Mantle, (Rep. ); of Montana,
spoke for two hours on fjbhe wool sched
ule, urging an increases in the rates of
the wool grower, and Bjutler, of North
Carolina, made a plea in behalf of the
income tax. The consideration of the
tariff bill by paragraphs began at 8
o'clock. Lead ore, lead! dress and me
tallic mineral substances (17$) to 181 in
clusive) were passed oyer. The mica
paragraph (182) led to a contest Pritch
ard, of North Carolina, proposed an
amendment, fixing the rate on rough
mica at 15 cents per pound, and on cut
mica at 30 cents per pound. After a
lengthy discussion the mica paragraph
went over, also the iickje. The House
amendments to the bill to prevent col
lisions on inland bays and waters of the
United States except the Great Lakes,
were agreed to. The President signed
the sundry civil bill j t

Democratic Senator should assist in re

J three products luni her,! Salt and wool
which the Wilson bill put on the free
list. Mr. Clay, of Georgia, also spoke
at length on the tarifl bill, criticizing
the sugar schedule! and Other features
of the bill. Mr. McLaur in (Dem. S.
C.) who recently entered the Senate,
made his initial speeeh in criticising
the rates of the wood schedule, saying
tney were not designed jto oenent any

June 7th. The Senate disposed of

ing the motion of Senator Vest to place
white pine on the free list The vote
was yeas 20, nays 38. The contest was

lines, which have been maintained,
with few exceptions, during the early
stages of the debate. On the final vote

Mr. Carter, Republican, and Msssrs.
Cannon and Mantle, silver Republi
cans, voted for the V est motion. Fol
lowing this, a vote to substitute the
Wilson lumber schedule was defeated.
21 to 87, and the schedule was agreed
to as reported. The debate preceding
we voie was ax times very breezy , ow
ing tb the break of political lines. The
consideration ot tne tarut out
was resumed soon after the
session opened, and tne dis
cussion proceeded on the paragraph
fdacing a duty of $2 per 1,000 feet on
umber. Mr. Allen, Populist, of Ne
braska, moved to substitute the provis
ions of the Wilson bill, which placed
lumber on the free list. The Senator
spoke in particular about restoring
white pine to the dutiable list, urging
that the rates were designed to be pro
hibitory against Canadian pine. There
whs nothing, he said, "in the clap-trap
argument" of American high wages, as
the wages of the lumbermen in Canada
were, on a whole, higher than in the
United mates.
HOUSE.
June 1st. In the House the Morgan
resolution was brought up, but the rep
resentatives again voted for delay in
taking action. An appeal was made but
the motion was laid on the table. Can
non, (Rep. ) of Illinois, interrupted the
consideration of the bill to prevent col
lisions in harbors and inland waters,
and presented the conference report on
the sundry civil bill. The compromise
relative to the revocation of President
Cleveland's forest reservation excited
some comment. Loud, (Rep. ) of Cali
fornia, objected to one feature of the
compromise, but the opposition was not
carried to the point of a division, and
the conference report was agreed to.
The House then resumed the considera
tion of the bill to prevent collisions.
Pavne, in charge of the bill, was warned
that a quorum would be required to pass
the bill, and he accordingly moved an
adjournment He refused to withdraw

Messrs. R. G. Dun & Co. Report a
Large Volume of Business,
GREAT DECREASE IN FAILURES.
Remarkable Similarity to the Course
of Prices In 1878, When There Was
the Most Wonderful Advance.
Messrs. R. O. Dunn k Co, s Weekly
Review of Trade for the week ending
June Mb, says in part: "The statement
Of failures in May by branches of
business gives much encouragement,
tn amount of defaulted liabilities, the
month was the smallest since Sep
tember, 1896; in manufacturing liabili
ties, the smallest except the last month
since September, 1894. Failures of
general stores have not been as small in
any month as in May, 1807. In only
two months out of thirty-six have
there been smaller failures in books
and feats; only five in groceries, and
not one in any trading oleee in that
month has reported failures larger than
in half the preceding months. Id
clothing manufacture the month was
the smallest except four out of thirty
six, except five in challis ; four in wool
goods; seven in machinery; nine in
lumber, and exoeeded the average only
in iron and cotton goods and earthen
ware, owing to a few failures of ex
ceptional size. Nobody can mistake the
meaning of such returns.
"The statement that, except for the
temporary depression in prices, the vol
ume of business transacted is now larg
er than it was in 1862, the yeer of
greatest prosperity, has been questioned
by some. But a comparison of prices
this week in -the leading branches Of
manufacture, notonly confirms that
view, but shows a remarkable similar
ity to the course of prices in the earlier
months of 18D7, when the most won
derful advance in production and
prices ever known in this or any other
country was eiose at hand. The key of

A WAR DANCE.
Large Cuban Sleeting in Washington
In Memory ef Americans.
A large crowd gathered at the Na
tional Theatre in Washington last Fri
day night to attend the Cuban meeting
in memory of the Americans who have
sacrificed their lives for Cuba. Speeches
were made by Representative Hwanson,
of Virginia, and Groene, of Nebraska,
and others. ,
Mr. Green declared that not only
should the belligerency resolution be
passed by Congress, but Spain should
be given so many days to take her sol
diers from the island. He made light
of the probability of war with Spain,
and said that it she declared war
against the United States, 8,000,000
swords would gleam in the scabbards
readv to fieht. and the blue aod gray
would march together to the musio of
Dixie. Had there been a Jackson or
Bryan in the White House, he said, he
believed the fires of liberty would now
be burning throughout tne island of
Cuba. 4 ,
Resolutions were adopted calling for
a prompt recognition of Cuban belliger
encv. and arraigning all who make the
'4honor and glory of the nation and the
demands of the people subservient to
the interests of the Spanish bond-holders
and the sugar trust. "
