It is not pleasant news to hear that
2,H0,(tH) boxes of the Florida orange
crop have been destroyed by the recent
cold spell. Oranges have been one of
the most desirable of fruits and they
have been sold at a price which placed
them within the reach of the masses,
but in view of this disaster, we will have
to pay much more or go without.
Di'RiNC the year 1W4 there has been a
general shrinkage in the value of agri
cultural products of fully '2o per cent.
Cotton has fallen nearlv I0 percent, and
wheat about Corn and rice, owing
to short crops, have shown an increase,
that of corn amounting to 10 per cent,
and rice I a cent a pound. It is no
wonder business of all kinds has been
tit-pressed, with the purchasing power of
the agricultural population reduced by
one quarter from the preceding year.
The times are gettiug better, says the
Harrisburg Put riot, and have been im
proving most of the year past, not only
since election as has been pretended.
The indications are that the improve
ment will continue until commerce and
industry take a letter tone than they
now have. '
The commercial failures for lS'.i-l were

ting 340,774.SS9 in lS'.'.S. While the
failures are within a few hundred :i
many a in ISH.' the average liabilities
for each failure in is4 was only Sll,
40O; in 1S'.'; the average liability was
22,700f or twice that of ls'.'4. I he
volume of business represented by clear
inghouse exchanges last year was 77 per
cent, larger than in lM'o, and the earn
ings of all railroads reporting in Decern
ler were 2.!'. per cent, greater than in
1M3.
In the industries, as affecting Ialor,
the improvement is just as noticeable.
From a number of industries, which are
representative of all and indicative of
the conditions in all, Dun A: Co. obtain
this authentic information : Hands em
ployed, l'.3, V2o,WS; 1S'.4, 131,072.
Wages paid, IS'-'.!, $3,020,72$: 181' 1 $1,

W.KoW; 1S-..4, 31.S3H.834. As com
pared with 18'.3. in 1".4 total wage pay
ments increased 10,33 per cent, r.unikr
of hands inrr ased $.3, the hours er
hand increased 8.24 and wages jut hand
increased 0.11. Dun & Co., estimate
that there are now employed not less
than 330,(HH hands more than a year
ago, that the amount distributed in
wages has increased $102,000,000 and
that the value of product is greater by
$1,254,000,000.
This is an excellent showing, all the
more so that it has leen made without
the "influence of the recent election"
or any other circumstances except na
tural recovery from the Republican pan
ic, aided by the certainty of no more
overestimation of industry by conces
sions to tariff beneficiaries.
Ik Spain persists in making the duty
upon Canadian Hour shipped to Cuba
7" cents a barrel less than the amount
charged upon flour shipped from the
United States, she may wake up some
line morning and find herself reading
a proclamation issued by lresident
Cleveland that will shut Cuban sugai
out of the United States markets. There
is no doubt alout the President having
ample authority for this retaliation, and
little that he will exercise it, if the Span
ish government refuses to favorably re
spond to the representations which Min
ister Taylor has been directed by Secre
tary tJreshani to make on the subject.
The Committee on Agriculture gave a
hearing the other day to a long-winded
California (JraDger who advocates a 10
lier cent, duty on the exportsof farm
produce. The prices of the agricultural
commodities of export being fixed by the
prices at which other producers are will
ing to sell in foreign markets, any ex
port duty levied would come out of the
Iockets of the farmers. But why should
the committee on agriculture waste its
time, and the public money, in listening
to the advocacy of a proposition which
is forbidded by the constitution? One
of the things congress cannot do is to
levy a tax or duty on articles exported
from anv state.
Sometimes Wall street overreaches
itself, and this a pilars to le the case as j
to the syndicate of capitalists who took
the recent loan. It is siipjwsed. in or
der to force another loan for bond
issues are very profitable on Wall street
since December o there has leen drawn
out of the trersury $24, (00,000 of the
gold obtained by the bond issue for $50,
000,000; but of this only about $H,000.
000 has been shipped abroad, and the
other $14,000,000 has been simply called
back into the vaults of the banks.
Mark the result. 15y withdrawing the
gold for which they have no use they
threatened the market with another bond
issue, and with the prospect of an exces
sive supply the price of bonds has de
clined until the disbanded syndicate
finds itself loaded with a heavy holdint;
of bonds which its late members cannot
sell at a profit. They are blaming Sec
retary Carlisle for the fall in bonds, but
the fact is the capitalists were caught in
their own trap, in their eageruc-ss to re
peat a profitable lnd orperation they
spoiled the market for the l-onils they
hold and lost the profit on the transac
tion already made. Instead of the sec
retary, their own greed is to blame.
While the cold wave has l-een attend
ed with deplorable consequences in vari
ous sections ot the country, the fact is to
le noted that its effects have not been
altogether untoward. The accompany
ing snow falls have made work for
thousands of men in the logging dis
tricts, while the increased consumption
of coal will provide work for miners in
this and in other states. Aside from
these considerations is the fact that brac
ing weather always exerts a tonic influ
ence on general business as it should
likewise do on the sympathies of all who
out of their abundance can spare a little
fomething for the shivering poor at this
inclement season.
I.io,roR must not be furnished on
Sundays in private clubs maintaining a
bar or sideboard, according to Judge
MiClung, of Allegheny. If a man has
his private bottle stored away in the cup
board, or some other convenient place,
he may invite a friend to take a "nip."
Iiut no liquor must be ordered on Sun
day to be paid for in a club any more
than in a saloon. That practice is sup
posed to prevail very generally, and
there would not lie so many clul if it
did not. They are held to le a great ir
rigative convenience when the town goes
dry under the Brooks law on Sunday.
But as clubs are couducted on confiden
tial principles, tangible proof of the vio
lation of the law is difficult to obtain.
There is much talk about three men
as candidates for the Republican nomi
nation for the 'Presidency next year.
Ex-President Harrison, Governor Mc
Kinley and Thomas Brackelt Reed are
kept by their friends well at the front.
There is danger in too much promi
nence. The probabilities are that the
favorites will kill each other's chances in
the convention, and that the nomination
will go to a compromise candidate. Of
all the men in the back ground Robert
Todd Lincoln would seem to be the most
available. He has behind him the great
name of his father; and this counts for
much. It must also be said of him
that he has borne himself with great
credit and capability in the responsibil
pie 4iLlk- jxjfcitioi which he has filled.
Alton- every soft coal section in the
state, says the Philanelphia 77n.s. is
having its tnrn at wage reduction, the
latest being Tioga county, where the
miners have decided to strike. This is
unfortunate, and especially so in view of
the fact that these were the miners
warned before election day against the
terrible effects of suporting tariff re
form and ignoring protection. The
miners listened to the iolitical voice in
the wilderness and voted nearly solid to
retain the government tariff bounty of
seventy five cents a ton to the operators,
and now see their mistake. While the
operator gets alout everything they have
leen pared down to something below
living wages, aud how much worse a
strike will make their condition, the fu
ture alone can tell. But they have this
consolation they saved the tariff.
W aIiini;UMi Letter.
Washington, D C , Dec. 2'.'. 1'.4
Although tli'-rc have not been at the
outside more than seventy live memlieis
of congress in Washington at any one
lime during the present week, that has
not prevented those industrious trfntJe
iiicn who make a business of manufac
turing Washington news for sensational
imjiers sending out detailed programmes
each entirely tlitft-r'-nt from the otiier
of what disposition cotigre. will make
of the Carlisle currency reform bill. As
that distinguished philosopher. Josh
Billings, used to say. "it is better to be
ignorant than to know so miK-h that
ain't so." While President Cleveland
ami Secretary Carlisle, as well as Chair
man Springer, who is in charge of the
currency bill. hoje and lie'ieve that tne
bill will pass C-'e house in some hape,
neither of them would attempt to posi
tively say that the house would or would
not pass it, although these irrt sponsible
scribblers do so daily.
As a matter of fact, no man living is
in a josition to state with a reasonable
degree of certainty what will In- the fate
of the currency bill, and all attempts to
do So are but guesses. It was well un
derstood by the Democrats of the house
when the adjournment for the holidays
took place that the rece.-s would Ik- de
voted to a study of ho v the bill might
le impioved, and that no conclusion
was to be reach'-d until they came to
gether again. It is Ulieved. hut even
that has not lieen definitely determined
upon, that the fate of the currency bill
will be settled at a Democratic caucus lo
le held as soon as congress meets again.
At any rate it can be set down as rtain
that tiie Democrats, and not the sensa
tion managers, will decide the matter.
If Spain jiersists in making the duty

proclamation issued by President Cleve
land that will shut Cubau sugar out of

that he will exercise it, if the Spauish

Secretary Carlisle made public this
week the plan for the reorganization of
the otlice of the supervising architect of
the treasury, which is to lake effect Jan
uary 1, ls'.'.i. Under the new plan the
Architect wi!l have to deal onlv with
matters which should properly come
under him; all the rest will go where
they properly belong. F. very body who
knows anything about the bu.-inis of
the otlice admits the proposi d change to

fice of architect is now vacant, but it is
expected to le filled soon after the re
organization of the otlice. There

Inside, instead of reading matter, was
a poker layout, including cards and
ivory chips. The Col. is accused by his
friends of trying to but c that poor

Uov. Oathes, of Alabama, is Spending
the holidays in Washington, but his
visit is one of business as well as pleas
ure. When asked what brought him to
Washington at tiiis tune, he said: "My
chief aim and ambition is to help con
tribute to the materia! development of
Alabama, which is so rich in natuial
resources. National legislation is needed
to help on the good work. The people
of the South are short of the capital
in building up that Motion, and So I
hope that at the present session Con
gress will do something to relieve the
necessities of the country by some kind
of financial legislation. The Carlisle
bill may not le prefect, but it is away of
relief, and should be passed."

(Jutted by Fire.
Albany, N. Y., Dec. 30 The Dele
van house proper was gutted by lire to
night. There were 100 guests in the
house. All escaped, although two wo
meu and two men who jumped from the
third story windows into the street were
badly hurt.
The speakership tight was on in its
iutensity to night when the cry of tire
rang through thecoriidors of the Dele
van house at S:44 o'clock. Tne head-
qti nt rs of (he candidates were on the
tirst floor over the lobbies, otherwise the
large crowds which tilhd the corridors
and rooms would not have so luckily
t sea .ed .
The fire started iu the basement o i
the Broadway side, directly under the
i elevator shaft, ami tefore the affrighted
guests and politicians had emerged ujkui
the streets the flames had broken through
the toof. The elevator shaft was ad
jacent to the Broadway stairway and
lljines cut off the egress of the guests in
the northern eud of the hotel, in which
nearly two thirds of the guests were
located. Those who were not able to get
I past the elevator shaft so as to pass down
the main way on Steuben street were
without hojie of escape for some niinii
n-s, until their wav was directed to the
servants' stairway iu the north section
of the structure.
There were many thiiliing escapes,
tnd it is surprising that the casualties
are so few when the sweep with which
the tire spread throughout the guest
floors of the main building is consid
ered.

Begina, N. W. T., Dec. 20. The
house of William Thompson, a farmer,
living twenty-five miles north of here,
was burned yesterday morning, the in
mates barely escaping in their night
clothes. Mts. Thompson and two child
ren were badly burned one dyiug shortly
after tieing taken from the house.
Placing his wife and the remaining child
in a hen house, Thompson set out for a
neighbor's, one mile ami a quarter
away, having only some rags around his
feet and head, being otherwise nude,
although the thermometer was 30 3 lelow
zero. He reached within one hundred
yards of the neighbor's house, when he
fell exhausted and almost frozen stiff.
Fortunately he was wen, and was
carried into the house and eared for.
When assistance reached Mrs. Thomp

torture of their burns, and it is doubtful
whether thev can survive. Thomoson

he made himself understood by the audi

will add largely to the revenues of the
country and will not be burdensome to
those who pay it. Much sympathy is
expressed in some quarters for the poor
unfortunates who possess incomes of
over $4,000 per year, for being obliged
to bear the burden of the tax alone, but
as in nine cases out of ten, the victims
have gotten themselves into their pres

Klwnnd, Ind., Dec. 3o. A fearful
natural gas and sewer gas explosion fc
curred here this morning shortly after
midnight iu which six men came near
losing their lives, all U-ing terribly in
jured, two having broken legs. The
building occupied by Milo See's barber
shop was utterly demolished and the
furniture and fixtures blown into frag
ments. The cause of the explosion was due to
a bad leak in the gas maims which
found an outlet in the sewer that com
municated with the bathrooms to the
shojis. From there it accumulated un
der the floor and around the walls of the
shop behind the plastering aud soon lie
gan to fill the room. All evening the
smell of sewer gas and other gas had
been noticed and finally it got so strong
the doors were opened to purify the
room.
The fire in the stove in the shop was
burning brightly and when the air be
came saturated with the gas the ex
plosion occurred. The loss is estimated
at $2,000 with no insurance.

ceived in this eity from u iint near the
seat of the r.-eent outrages in E:uteri;
Turkey, places the number of slaught
ered Armenians at fully 15,x0. It is
written by a man in whom the highest
confidence is placed, and liortioii are
tuo horrible to repeat. The writer, in
part, says:
'The Armenians, oppressed by Kurds
and Turks. aid: "We cannot pay taxes
to both Kurds and the government.
Plundered and oppressed by the Kurds,
they resisted them; there were some
killed. Then false reports were sent to
Constantinople that the. Armenian
were in arms in rel llion. Orders were
sent to the mushir. at Erzeiigan, to ex
terminate them. The order read lie fore
the arniv collected in haste from all tho
chief tribes of Ex-tern Turkey were: I
Whoever spares men, women or chil- j
dren is disloyal.' The region was snr- j
rounded by" soldiers, and 2U,ihhi Kurds.!
also are said to have been mass. il there, j
Then they advanced upon the Centre,
driving in the people like a fl-k of j
sheep, and continued thus to advance i
for days.

were shot down or butchered like sh-ej. ;
Probably when they were set upon in
this way, some tried to save their lives
and resisted in self-defense. Many who
could, tied in all directions, but the ma- ,
jority was slain. The most probable j
estimate is 13,(HHi killed, ;." villages :
plundered, razed and burned. Women
were outraged and men butchered. A
priest was taken to the roof of hi-
church and hacked to pieces and the ed- :
ifiee set on tire. A large number of
women and girls collected in a chun-h.
were kept for days, the sport of soldier .
and then murdered. It is said the nuiii- ;
ber was so large that the blood flowed
out of the church door.
'The soldiers contended over a bean- j
tiful girl, they wanted to preserve her, ;
but she, too, was killed. As a con- '
confirmation of the report, the other day
several hundred soldiers were returning
from the seat of war and one was heard
to say that he alone, with his own hand,
and killed :ju pregnant women."
