"I can say nothing at. to that." "It has boen stated that If Me.Kinlcy and Bryan are nominated you will run Independently, is that true?" "1 have never said so." "Admiral, how do you feel about the way the people of the country linve re ceived your announcement?" "Well.

York, April C William C. Whitney said today that till statement!) suggesting. that he has had to do with the candidacy of Admiral Dewey for the presidency arc without foundation. He said: "I do not consider myself as so re lated to politics nt present as to be entitled to assist In making candidates. I have the profoundest admiration for Admiral Dewey. It cnine naturally to mo from my acquaintance with the admiral when I was secretary of the navy. I take great pride In his repu tation, but I have no knowledge und nothing to do with his recent an nouncement. I believe It to bt the net of the admiral himself. His nature is simple and straightforward, and he has doubtless been solicited to become a candidate by thousands of people who would like to see him president. I Imagine that If you pet at the real truth you wilt tlnd that to bo the reason of his announcement.''

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE. Volume of' Busineni Much Larger That Last Year. New York, April 6. It. O. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Uevlew of Trade will say tomorrow: Quarterly reviews today show that outlde the Immediate effects of stock "peculation and Industrial consolida tions the volume ot business 1ms been larger this year than a year ago. At that time the extensive rise In wuge which followed combination, in many cases had not yet taken place, and the purchasing power of the people was smaller than It is now. Very muny of the usual spring demands for higher wages have been granted, or lu part granted by compromise, so that no more than the usual hindrance from Hint source now seems probable. The rise In sole leather has helped manufuiturers of boots and shoes to hold prices but not to get more orders, which are much smaller than In pre vious yeats. The steel sheet consoli dation with Ptesldent JloMurtry, of the Appollo works, at the head, prom ises great Importance. If this, the tin plate, hoop, and rational steel works make alliance with the Carnegie com pany, as is reported, the whole Indus try will oniitr or later be affected. For the present-no cluVnge appears In pi lees of pig and only slightly more yielding in phttcs and bars to secure more business. Hut many new con tracts are reported, Including one pur chase of rails for export, and the situ ation Is generally more hopeful. Failures for the week are 1B9 In the United States as against 141 last year, and it in Canada against 1" last year. ATLANTIC LEAGUE. President Fogel Announces ..he Com pletion of tho Circulr.

The troublesonit prob lem of fn eighth club, which has been hanging tire for nearly a month has at last been definitely solved. The appli cants were Harrlsburg, Trenton, Wil mington, Lancaster and Jcisey City. The ipR-stlon of selecting gradually narrowed down to Jersey City for sev eral reasons, one being because of Its large population and environments; another because Newark wanted a lo cal or iathr territorial tlvol, and third because It added one more Sun day ball playing city to the circuit. "The obstacle! In the way of taking in Jersey 'City after we had secured an option on the grounds In that city and several wealthy gtntlemcu to b'tek the proposed club, was the fact that coin ing within the flve-mlle territoiial llnilt of the N'w York National league club, the consent of President Freedman, of that club, was necessaty. After an exchange of correspondence with .Mr. Freedman we met In his liflce today nnd hud no trouble In agreeing upon terms, which are most sallsf'ictor to our league. Mr. Freedman morn than met Mr. Peltnonl. our attorney, nnd I half way and In drawing up an ngreement with us imposed absolutely no conditions. In brief. Mr. Freedman, In a most sportsmanlike manner, letded the Jer sey Cltv territory to us without, as-1 have alrcndy stated, Imposing any con ditions whatever.

She Visits the Humblest Portions of the City 30,000 Youngsters Will Look at the Good Lady Today. Dublin. April fi. In spite of the fact that It was raining. Queen Victoria this morning drove out In the Vice Regal grounds In a garden chair. Ow ing to the continued wet weather she did not visit the city this afternoon, merely indulging In a short carriage drive in. the park and over tho roads in Its vicinity. Oreat anticipations have been aroused In connection with tomortow's children's festival, when oU.000 young sters from all parts of Ireland will be given a chance to see her majesty. The ejueen drove out In an open car tinge, accompanied by the Princess Henry of Hattenberg and a lady In waiting, and escorted by four mounted constables nnd a sergeant of the Dub lin police. She returned at .1.30 p. ni. Crowds of people tilled O'Connell street In fruitless anticipation of seeing the cpieen pass. The eiueen's route was through one of the humblest sections of Dublin township, a section totally devoid of natural beauty, and It must have been decided upon In consequence of her desire to leave no part of the district unvlslted and no class of her subjects neglected. There Is no mistaking the surprise caused by the presence of the venerable lady, who had braved the elements under conditions that kept many oth ers Indoors. This evening there was another small dinner party at the Vice Hegal lodge, after which the Duke and Duchess of Oonnaught, Princess Christian, Karl and Countess t'adogan nnd Lady Dun raven and Lord and Lady Londoudeny with others .attended a concert at the Theater Itoyal, where there was a great' patriotic demonstration. - .

The burgh ers' forces remain In the neighborhood of the waterworks. Lord Koberts Is taking steps to meet the activity of the lioers. London. April 6. The war office has received ftom Lord Roberts the' follow ing dispatch, tinted Hloemfonteln, Thursday.. April 5: "Motheun telegraphs from Hoshof-fln the Ornnge Free State, a little north east of Kltnbeiiey), as follows: " 'Surrounded General Villebols Ma reull and a body of Boers today. Npn escaped Villebols nnd seven Roers killed Ight wounded, fifty prisoners. Our 16, ,1 Killed, Captains Boyle and Williams, both of the Yeomanry, and two men of the Yeomanry: wounded, about seven men. " 'The attack lasted four hours. Tho corps behaved very well. Our forco was composed of Yeomanry, the ,KIm berley Mounted corps and the Fourth battery of artillery.' " Another dispatch received from Lord Itoberts reported that five companies of British troops had been captured by the Boers near Bethany, about thirty miles south ot Bloemfonteln. The following is the text of the latter dispatch: "Bloemfonteln, Thursday, April 5. Another unfortunate occurrence has occurred, resulting, I fear, In the .cap ture of a party of infantry cdnslstlntr of three companies of the Royal Irish Fusiliers and two companies ot tho Xlnth regiment of mounted Infantry, near Hcddersberg, a little eastward of Bethany railway station, within a few miles of this place. They were sur rounded by a stronger force of the enemy with four or five guns. "The detachment held out from be fore noon, April 3, until 9 a, m., April 4, and then, apparently, surrendered, for It Is reported that the firing ceased at that time. The lost companies are probably part of the force guarding the railway at Bethany, thirty miles south of Bloem fonteln. The Boers are evidently oper ating In force near the railroad, and there Is a possibility of the line being interrupted for a brief period at any time. As the captured British soldiers were In a position to defend themselves for almost twenty-four hours and were then forced to surrender, the lighting must have been severe. The Uoeis were also lu force yester day live miles from Jngersfonteln, slx t miles couth of Bloemfonteln. They had a brush with the British patrols. Advices from hprlngfontelti, dated 6 p. in., April 5, announce that the Boers have been sighted west of the railroad. Apropos of Lord Methuen's victory, It may be mentioned that the follow ing cable message, dated Klmberley, was received here todny: "April 5. Since the departure of the main body of troops Lieutenant Col onel Chamler lemalns in command ot the garrison bete." At the time It was received the mes sage could not be understood, for ac cording to last reports Lord Methuen had not left Klmberley. The despatch, however, was construed to mean that the general had advnnced with his main force from the diamond city to the lellef of Mafeklng. EXECUTION AT PONCE.
