RECORD BREAKER Bradstreet's Review of Business for Past Year. ICnlarcenient of Output Im Shown Ic livery llraiieh iliiorniouH For eign Trade The Uiiucn of u Great Army ol" IVorkem Are Increased. Xew York, Dec. 31.—Bradstreets 1 review of the business year, to ie is sued Saturday next, will have the fol lowing; "To say that 1902 was the best year this country has ever experienced, while truthful enough in the main, does not suggest fully the enormous strides which the United States took in the year just closed. Practically every branch of ordinary trade and manufacture showed an increase above the best of previous years, and yet this immense enlargement of out put was not sufficient of itself to sat isfy the growing, it might, even be termed insatiable, demand for all kinds of materials. "In many cases the usual foreign outlet for our products was neglect ed by American producers, who con fined their efforts to supplying insist ent domestic demand, while in others foreign production was called upon to reinforce domestic output, with the result that flew currents and channels were created in our for eign trade. Our export trade there fore. shrunk, while our imports ex panded to unprecedented figures. "The railroads of the country, in their efforts to handle the business offered them, suffered :is never be fore from con gestion, and complaint of interference with production and distribution of the products of the farm, the mine, the shop and the loom was practically universal. "Industrial unrest was naturally marked, as it always is in times either of prosperity or of depression, and serious disorganization of some of the country's basic industries result ed for a time. In many cases, how ever, resort to extremes was avoided or rendered unnecessary by liberal recognition by employers of changes in the standard of living, and it is Rafe to say that two men obtained higher wages or had their working time reduced without resort to strikes for every one who actually quit work. "Speculation felt the checks im posed upon it by conservatism, by short crops in the preceding year and last, but not least, by high rates for money; but despite the fact that stock market operations were only about half those of nun. bank clear ings. those usually reliable guides of business, showed aggregates practic ally equal to the hitherto unheard of totals of 1901." TOTALLY DESTROYED. ftdvcntlMt fiibllKhing S'lnnt at ES.iHie t rceii, filch., (ioe* I i> in Siuolte L.O*m About .'<<3oo,ooo. Battle Creek. Mich.. D-c. 31.—1n tlie total destruction last night of the big building occupied by the Iteview and Herald Publishing Co., the Seventh Day Advent ist colony is brought face to tyee with a second heavy loss by lire within a year, the Adveutist san itarium having been burned down only last February. Last night's loss is estimated by officials of the ltc view and Herald Co. at $350,000, with insurance amounting to $1.~>0,000. The fire was discovered at 7:30 p. m., when only 2.1 of the employes were at work. One of the »."> had not been accounted for at a late hour last, night, but the others got out by way of tire escapes, the stairway from the book room in which they were working being already in flames when their first warning came in ttie form of choking clouds of smoke. When the fire department arrived the only thing that could be done was to fight for the safety of ad joining buildings, the one in which the fire originated being evidently doomed. Almost within an hour from the first alarm, the Main street wall fell in..l. 11. Watson, a billing clerk, was seriously injured while saving books and valuable papers in the of fice. The fire is supposed to have origi nated In spontaneous combustion in a pile of rags in the press room. A IPli'ii tor Turin* Ked mil on*.

A lEosciite Outlook lor Hvery Industry Ift Noted on All Side*. Xew York, Jan. 3. U. 0. Dun's Weekly Iteview of Trade says: Despite the interruption of a holi day, taking of inventories and other disturbing elements incidental to the closing of the old year, the past week has been far from dull. Con sumers were not perceptibly lessen ing purchases, while the approach of higher freight rates accelerated shipment of goods. Transporting fa cilities continue utterly inadequate, the pressing need for fuel diverting rolling stock from other classes of freight. Xew wage scales have be come effective, largely enhancing the purchasing power of the people. The new year opens with every prospect of exceptional activity in all branches of business. Railway earnings thus j far available for December show a gain of 7.7 per cent, over 1901. The question of higher freight rates complicates the situation re garding iron and steel, but new or ders are constantly coming forward and the activity of plants would equal capacity were it not for the fuel shortage. Quotations of all products in this industry are fully maintained, with j a tendency toward still higher prices because of freights mid fuel. The . first advance is expected to occur in ! wire nails. Xo new features have developed in j the footwear situation. Textile mills . are busy, with only a hand to mouth l home demand for cotton goods, but j export buying for China continues large. Farm products weakened as visible supplies increased and reports j from the west indicate that much j more grain is offered for shipment j than the railroads will accept. PENSION SYSTEM.

Her l*o»ltlon - The President 'luko Action, Washington, Jan. 3. —The feature of the cabinet meeting yesterday was the decision to close permanently the post office at Indianola, Miss., from which the postmaster, Minnie M. Cox, colored, resigned under compulsion a few days ago, since which time the office has been closen. The bondsmen brought the matter to the attention of the authorities here. The postma-s --ergeneral investigated anil became satisfied that the woman wus obliged to resign under duress—in fact that her life was endangered. The president discussed with sev eral members of the cabinet other features of the ease of Mrs. Cox, Postmaster General Payne being in ! the conference with tin? president for an hour or more. It was decided to issue a formal statement concern ing the case. Secretary Cortelyou, for the president, made public the following: "The postmaster at Indianola, Miss., is Mrs. Minnie W. Cox, a col ored woman. She served three years as postmaster under President Har rison. When President MeKinley : came in she was again appointed, in ( 1H97, nearly six years ago. ller char ■ acter and standing in the community | are endorsed by the best and most I respectable people in the town. "Among those on her bond is the ' present democratic state senator 1 from the district, together with the leading banker of Indianola. and an j ex-state senator from the district, also a democrat. The postmaster and j her husband own from SIO,OOO to $13,- ! 000 worth of property in Sunflower county. The reports of postoffice in spectors, who have investigated the office from time to time, show that she has given the utmost satisfaction to all the patrons of the oflice, that she is at all times courteous, faith- I ful. competent and honest in ttie dis charge of her duties. "The postmaster recently forward i ed her resignation to take effect on I January 1, but the report «»f inspeet | ors and information rece-vtd from I various reputable white citizens of ! the town and neighborhood shows | the resignation was forced by a bru tal and lawb ss element purely upon the ground of her color and was ob tained under terror of threats. The ' mayor of the town and the sheriff ! of the county both told the postoffice ! inspector that if she refused to re sign they could not be answerable i for her safety although at the same time not one word was said against her. "The postmaster's resignation has been received, but not accepted. In view of the facts the postoffice at In -1 dianola is closed. All mail for that place will be forwarded to Greenville. , The ease will be referred to the at j torney general." TWO CREWS KILLED. A Wild !•: mil no Cranliro Info si Flyer on llir Rutland liaitroad at Shel biirne, N. !«. Burlington, Vt.. .Tan. 3.—A wild en gine, running from Burlington to Rutland on the Tlutland railroad crashed into the northbound flyer from Xew York last night at Shel burne. The crews of both engines were killed and a brakeman who was riding on the wild engine was prob ably fatally hurt, and nearly every one of the flyer's crew were injured more or le-s seriously. No passen ger was seriously hurt, although many received bruises. The dead: Dennis Mahoney, of Rut land. engineer of the flyer. R. Cowey, of Rutland, engineer of the wild engine. .Tames Fitzputrick, of Tyomlonga, flre man. I). X. Chase, of Rutland, fireman. The cause of the accident is not definitely known, but Dr. Seward | Webb, president of the road, says | that he believes that Engineer I Cowey, who had charge of the wild engine, had figured that the flyer would be late, as it usually was, and that he could run to Shelburne for a siding before the train reached that i point. The flyer was on schedule I time. The impact of the collision was i terrible and only the heaviness of the flyer prevented a greater disaster. CoiiicrN are Arretted. Philadelphia. .Tan. 3.—Secret Ser j vice Agent Griffin, accompanied by I several operatives, yesterday raided a counterfeiters' plant at Xorristown, ! about 16 miles from here. They cap tured Tony Julian, Mary, his wife; Domenica, his mother; Seatio Julian, his cousin; Caprio and Casnio I'arrl, j all Italians. Julian resisted arrest i and attempted to stab Agent (Jritfin, who escaped injury by felling his as sailant. Julian is said to be the ring leader. He conducted a small shoe store and, it is believed, utilized the shop as a medium for distributing | spurious dollars and 25 cent pieces. Sliol Tliree Tlamhal*. McCurtain, I.

New York, Jan. I.—ln a double cir cular, one to the stockholders and the other to the officers arul employes, the United States Steel Corporation announces its intention to inaugu rate a system whereby the humblest workman on its rolls ma^ - , if he de sires, become a permanent stock holder and share in the profits of the corporation. The circular says that at this time there are about 55,000 stockholders, who, it is believed, would feel a greater sense of security in the cor -s>oration's earning power if they knew that officers and managers generally were willing to enter into a contract by which a part of their compensa tion shall be paid only after the real ization uf $80,000,000 of profits. This represents interest on bonds, divi dends on stock and reserve for sink ing funds. The plnn inviting officers and em ployes tn participate is divided into two parts. Part one prescribes that from the earnings of the corporation during the year 1902 there will have been set. aside at least $2,000,000 and as much more as is needed for the purchase of at least 25,000 shares of preferred stock, which will be of fered as follows to employes of the corpora t ion: At present, the corporation and sub sidiary companies employ 108,000 men, whom it is proposed to divide into these six classes: Cl;«ss A will include all those who receive salaries of $20,000 a year or over. Class II will include all those who receive salaries of from SIO,OOO to $20,000 a year. Class (' will include all those who receive salaries of from $5,000 to SIO,OOO a year. Class I) will include all those who receive salaries of from $3,500 to $5,000 a year. Class E will include all those who receive salaries of fro. i SBOO to $2.."00 a year. ( lass F will include all those who receive SBOO a year or less. The preferred stock will be of fered to any employe during January at $52.50 per share. (Its closing price yesterday was SBS.S7'/,.) Employes can subscribe for an amount of stock not exceeding the sum represented by a certain per centage of their annual salaries as shown in this table: Class T! S per cent.; class C 10 per cent.; class I) 12 per class K 15 per cent.; class F 20 per cent. Whenever s>*o,ooo,ooo and less than $00,001).000 is earned during 1903, 1 per cent, -hall he set aside. Whenever $90,000,000 and less than $100,000,000 is earned during 100!!, 1.3 per cent, shall be e given to such only as at the end of that period shall be in the employ of the corporation, or of one or another of its subsidiary com panies, from and since January 1, 1903.
