Senator Hanna, who arrived In Buffalo from Niagara Falls, announced the abandonment finally of all efforts to end the miners' strike. He said: "I have exhausted my efforts.

White 8qudren Aim to Capture a Port en Atlantle Const Undated, d by the Blues. The unique war game In which the rival fleets of the United gtntes navy, under command of Admiral Francis J. Higglnson and Commander John E. Plllsbury are pitted against each other began at noon Wednesday. The North Atlantic coast Is threatened by a the oretically powerful squadron of hos tile ships, from the attack of which an equally able fleet will attempt to defend. Commander Plllsbury' fleet, which is known as the white squadron, galled from Provlncetown on Monday. Its whereabouts at noon Wednesday was unknown to Admiral Higglnson, whose forco Is known as the blue squadron. The problem of the "White" fleet, which Is at sea, Is to effect a landing between Portland, Me., and Cape Cod before August 25. To he successful the attacking fleet must seize some undef'-ndod anchorage be tween the points named Portland harbor being Included, but not Casco bay and hold it for sl: hours without being opposed Vy a superior forco. The Instructions (fefino the harbot to bo seized as one that must be capable of gun and mine defense, with not less than six fathoms of water, anchorage for several large ships, and In all re spects suitable for an advance ba.ie for an enemy' fleet, Including heavy ships. The first series of maneuvers are purely tochnlcal, and there will be no semblance of an engagement be tween the ships. No shots will be flrad except positively upon the dis covery of the hostile fleet at night, when the firing would be entirely for signalling purposes and to announce the discovery of Plllsbury's aqiiadrn:i. The distance betwen Capo Cod, the southern extremity of the coast de fended by Admiral Hlgglnson'a fleet, and Portland, Me., Is only about ini) miles. At midnight Wednesday V, hours ha I passed of the possible 120 for the naval conflict between the at tacking squadron and the defending fleet. Not for a moment during the afternoon did the battleships give up their watchfulness. Soon arter the noon hour a heavy storm came on. In the driving rain tho Impression enter tained by the sailors was the proba bility that Commander Plllsbury would strike his blow on such a night as that promised to bo In the early part of the night. Tho station of Isle of Shoals notified the nearest Inland point of the navy that a large, two masted craft had been sighted outside the shoals. The destroyer D?catur waft rocketed frbm Portsmouth to pur sue the mysterious comer.

There was nothing definite up to Friday. 0 p. m., to Indlcato the whoreahouts of the White Squadron. Friday night and through Saturday t!u "this" fleet wns constantly on tho licit, expecting the White 8quadron would put in an appearance. Saturday afternoon Commodore HlgglnEon put to sea with his licet, and at 6:1 a. m. Sunday morning came up with the White Squadron near Thatchers Island. Under tho terms of tho con test the Blue Squadron represented 04 points flghtlr.g strength to 43 points by the "White." And figuratively the Bluo Squadron became tho victor. KIDNAPED MIS3 STONE.

Weekly Review of Trade says: Fuel scarcity Is still the one serious Industrial handicap. Protracted idleness at anthracite mines Increased the pressure for soft coal and coke, and, despite new rec ords ot output, deliveries are utterly Inadequate owing to the lark of mo tive power. This freight blockade of coke trains has closed many furnaces, while the Increasing call for trans porting facilities on crop account gives little prospect of early relief. Not withstanding the congestion, railway earnings thus far reported for August show gain of 3.4 per cent over last year and 17 per cent over 19ui). Weather condition bave been less uniformly favorable for agricultural products, yet no severe loss Is report ed. The current trade Is of good vol ume for the season, while the outlook for the future Is bright. Buyers are numerous in all the leading markets, placing orders liberally at well sus tained quotations. As the active blast furnace capacity of this country de creases through want of fuel, foreign pig Iron is purchased more freely, and Scotch warrants have advanced be cause of the steady demand. Domes tic needs are now far beyond all pre cedent, and even with the available home capacity active there would be imports, although less than are now arriving. There is much that Is grati fying in this state of a.'-'alrs, but there is also a drawback. During the re cent period for exceptional domestic demand many export orders have been sacrificed, which German and Belgian makera secured. Textile mills are well occupied, business gradually in creasing in the cotton goods division, and demands for quick delivery em pbaalzo the fact that stocks are low and requirement for consumption are pressing. Export trade in brown cottons la insignificant, but more in quiries are reported. New tine of light weight woolens and worsteds for spring wear are now fully opened, and buyer are placing much business. Quotations are steadily maintained, with the market In healthy condition. There la gome evidence that supple mentary ordera will command higher prlceg, gpecially if raw wool make any further advance. Footwear shop at the east have assurance of full operation for two months, although there is much complaint of quotations in connection with the eensational movement of the material. Packer bide at Chicago bave attained new high record prices, and oak aole leath er has advanced. Staple products average somewhat higher In prices, owing to legg uniformly good new from the agricultural ectiona. No gerioug disaster occurred, but ex cessive rain retarded the development ot grain and Interrupted harvesting. Coffee recovered from within an slghth ot the loweat point on record, rumor of frot in Braall proving mora potent titan overwhelming supplies. Failures for the week numbered X07 la the United State.
