VETERANS NOT TO PARADE.
Commander-in-Chief Shaw Ray a Few
Word About the Dewey Prorelon,
WATERTOWN, N. Y. .Sept. 25.
General Albert D. Shaw, commander-in-chief
of the G. A. R., before leaving
for Topeka, Kan., where this week he
will address a reunion of the veterans
of that state, said in reply to Inquiries
regarding Grand Army matters:
"I regret all this trouble over the
Grand Army's position In the Dewey
parade, but It is from no fault on the
part of the duly constituted authori
ties of the G. A. R. However, when we
old veterans are gone the armed sol
diers who are yet to fight battles, will
not be worried about having aged vet
erans, who have stacked arms on
fame's eternal camping ground trouble
them over hair-splitting questions of
where the nation's preservers should
march In a civic pageant, similar to the
Dewey parade.
"I will not be at the Dewey parade. I
leave for Topeka to be present at a
great gathering of veterans Sept. 27
and 23.. Before I was elected I prom
ised to go out there. When the ques
tion of the Grand Army appearing In
the Dewey parade came up I wrote that
this civic function might prevent my
being with the Kansas comrades. I
was sharply taken to task for this by
the committee at Topeka, which wired
me that all arrangements had been
made for my reception and added:
'It Is more Important for you to be
here than in New York.'
"The Kansas comrades, always head
the line In civic pageants of honor and
ceremony. They do not trail on behind
younger men who have their records
to make, but march at the front with
'Old Glory' as a guide, which they
helped to make the emblem of a united
and a gjprlous nation. Under these
circumstances and not havlne received
any invltationfrom the Dewey parade
committee I go to Topeka. I don't
know why I should have been slighted
In my capacity as commander-in-chief
and I am proud 'my comrades are wide,
ly and emphatically resenting."
Geyeral .Shaw has received a large
number of Indorsements of his action
from leading Grand Army officials and
posts regarding the refusal to accept
a tail-end place In the Dewey parad.

REVUW OF TRADE.
TlradKt reel's Weekly Report on the Con
dition of HualneM.
NEW YORK. Sept. 23.-Bradstreefs
says:
Satisfactory trade and price condi
tions apparently still reign. So few, In
fact, are the reports of poor trade that
favorable reports may be said to be al
most unanimous. Prices as a rule main,
tain all their former strength, decreases
being few and relatively unimportant.
In several lines, notably the cereals,
cotton, petroleum, iron and steel, the
tendency hns b?en toward higher levels.
Cotton haf been notably strong and
active. Short crop estimates are be
coming more generally current and
bearish estimates of maximum yields
have been practically discarded, more
especially as It is claimed that agents
of English spinners are heavy buyers
at the South, and domestic manufac
turing conditions are known to be In
a high degree favorable.
Steady demand for export and con
fidence In all of this year's wheat crop
being needed have proved stimulating
In the fare of heavy receipts and ad
mittedly large present spuplies. Pos
sibility of war In the Transvaal, too,
has been an additional strengthening
feature.
Iron and steel are higher on a moder
ate volume of new business and the
steady placing of orders Indicates con
fidence In present values well on Into
the middle of next year. Pig iron,
however, is nearer a parity with con
sumption, the ultimate effect of en
hanced quotations upon demand Is not
yet settled and Imports from abroad,
while not likely to be of heavy volume
imemdiately, are a feature which may
have to be dealt with next year.
The scarcity of beef cattle is reflect
ed In still higher prices and strength
is shown in domestic hides which also
feel the impetus of steady demand from
manufacturers of leather.
No signs of abatement In the sugar
war are to be seen, price cutting is
active and prices are demoralized.
Other groceries, however, are firm, as
are most other lines, with the exception
of cheese and tin, which note some eas
ing in price from the recent advance.
Business failures for the week num
ber 147, as compared with 149 last week,
182 In this week a year ago, 237 in 1S97,
321 In 1896. and 198 In 1S95.
DUEL WITH SWORDS.
A C.lrl I of Course the Cauae of the
Deadly Dintnrbanre.
EAU CLAIR, Wis., Sept. 23. Hugh
Thompsons' photograph gallery was the
scene of a duel with swords. A hand
some young woman was hired by
Thompson as his assistant. Later a
man In a state of great excitement en
tered the gallery. He said his name
was Magulre and that he was the hus
band of the girl. Exactly how the fight
started Is uncertain, but hanging on the
wall were two sabres and In a moment
Thompson and Magulre were engaged
In deadly conflict.
The girl called for help and as Ar
thur Rickard, a furniture man, rushed
Into the gallery he saw Thompson on
the floor covered with blood and Ma
gulre apparently about to run the
sword Into Thompson's chest. Rick
ard pulled Magulre off and the latter
fled. No arrests have been made.
Thompson's Injuries may prove fatal.

MANILA. Sept. 26. Word reached
here that the insurgents had captured
the United Stales gunboat Urdaieta, in
the Oranl river, on the northwest side
of Manila bay, where she was patrol
ling. The United Stales gunboat Petrel
was sent to Investigate the matter and
has returned here after having dis
covered the Urdaneta beached opposite
the town of Oranl, on the Oranl river.
She had been riddled with bullets and
burned. One officer and a crew of nine
men are prisoners or have been killed.
The following guns with their ammu
nition were captured from the vessel:
One Colt's automatic gun and one
Nordenfeldt 25 millimeter gun.
The gunboat Urdaneta, which was
captured with her crew at Oranl, about
25 miles from Manila on the bay of
Manila Is a little craft of only 40 tons
displacement. She was captured by the
navy early in the war and has been on
police duty In the bay for months past.
The records of the navy department
show that she was one of the boats
of which the Oregon is the parent ship.
That is, she was supposed to draw all
her supplies from the battleship to be
manned fron the Oregon's crew and to
act under the Instructions of the Ore
gon's commander. According to the
last reports to the department the
little boat was last May under the
command of Naval Cadet Welborn C.
Wood, but the personnel of the crew is
not a matter of record, being subject
to frequent change. Wood was ap
pointed to the naval academy from Ore
gon, had passed his academic course
and was performing two years' sea
service at the time of his capture.
BATTLE IN SUBIG BAY.
Adutlrul WntHnu Deatroye a Cnnuon Be
longing to tile Filipinos.
MANILA, Sept. 25. The United
State cruiser Charleston, the monitor
Monterey and the gunboats Concord
and Zaflro, with marines and h'aii
Jackets from the cruiser Bultlmoie 1 ft
Cavlte Sept. 18, and, as already Ctb.td.
proceeded to Sublg bay to destroy an
Insurgent cannon there.
Owing to the bad weather the oper
ation was postponed until Saturday,
when the warships for three hours
bombarded the town of Olangapo and
the entrenchments where the gun was
situated.
Men from the Charleston, Concord
and Zaflro were then landed under a
heavy insurgent fire, proceeding to the
cannon, which was utterly destroyed
by gun cotton, and then returned to
the warships.
The Monterey advanced to a range of
600 yards, using her main battery. Two
hundred and fifty men were land'd
about 800 yards east of the cannon at
11 o'clock under a severe shore Mau
ser fire. The men from the Charleston
were the first to reach the beach, but
the Concord's men were the first at the
gun. The cannon was found to be li
centimeter Krupp gun.
Meanwhile the warships continued
to shell the shelving beach on the ea. t
and west side to silence the insurge, t
fire upon the sailors from the trenches
skirting the beach.
Gunner Olsen exploded 50 rounds of
gun cotton In three discharges In the
cannon, which had suffered from the
fire of the warships.
The Americans then returned to the
boats, the filing inland being kept up
to proiect the embarkation. The Con.
cord's men were the last to leave the
shore.
Cadet Brinser, with the Concord's
launch, armed with a Gattling, did ex
cellent work on the left of the landing
party. Captain Myers of the marines
captured a muzzle loading field piece.
Lieutenant McDonald was In command
of the landing party and the movement
was splendidly executed and controlled.
The numbers of the Filipinos the.e
could not be ascertained and no dead
were seen.
The Monterey fired for four hours
21 shots from her 10-inch guns and 17
shots from her 12-Inch guns.
The town, which was riddled with
shells, took fire at several points.

SCARCITY CF L' BCR.
GlaM Itereler Are In Grent Demand at
I'lttHhurg and Vicinity.
PITTSBURG. Fept. 23 -Th re Is a
great scarcity of skilled "c; bevelers
in littsbur- and Aieh 'i:y. Tiie de
mand for vorkiTu'.i in this particular
branch of Indus. iy is far above the
supply, and loc:.l or.?L'rns express an
Inability to get cnoush men 'o keep
pace with their bi Biness.
This condition of affairs has existed
for some 'time, and prevails over the
entire country where glass A-orkers are
employed. A Philadelphia firm has
been advertising In Pittsburg for glass
bevelers. both rou. h is a, d smooth
ers, promising steady work and the
bist wages for ft.st-class men.
At Conroy, I rah & Co.'s on Western
avenue, Allegheny, the umr.ager stated
that they had be n short of men for
several months. Their business had
Increased and they were unable to get
enough workmen to fill orders on time.
There are about eight or nine other
concerns of the kind In Pittsburg and
Allegheny, and they report the same
difficulty.
The abnormal lack of labor is attrib
uted to the great boom that has taken
place In the art glass industry, manu
facture of fancy mirrors, etc. Glass
beveling is a peculiar work, and the la
borer has few mechanical contrivances
to assist him. He must depend solely
on his Judgment and skill in grinding
and smoothing glass, and is required
to particularly possess a keen, true eye
sight. The wages range from $15 to $18 a
week. Local concerns have bee.i mak
ing an effort to secure workmen at
other places, but with little or no suc
cess. MINERS GOING WEST.

a telegram from Pittsburg, Kan., seat
ing that the coal operators in that
state, whtse miners are on a strike, had

men. It was stated that men had been
shipped to Kansas to take strikers'
places, and that a former local labor
officer, who is now an organizer In the
Knights of Labor, took a company out
himself.
President Dolan and Secretary Dodds
are now watching all trains as they
come in from the river district in or
der to Intercept any miners who may
have been gathered up to go West.
The strike in the West Is not on a
question cf wages, but was declared
because the coal companies refuse to
recognize the United Mine Workers.

HIGHER BEEF PRICES.
Another Big Jnutp at the Stock Tarda
In Chicago.
CHICAGO, Sept. 23. Beef on the
hoof has taken another Jump In price at
the stoc k yards. Already at the high
est notch In many seasons, it has been
thought Impossible to push beef anv
further up the ladder. It has bee i
given out reneatedly by stock yard
men that the fall consignments of Tex
as and other range cattle were coming,
and that the result would be a fall to
the customary figures.
"Don't tell me." said the manager
of a Madison street restaurant, "that
the cause Is scarcity of cattle, or any
of the other reasons which have been
givc!:i out. It's a plain case of corner,
trust, monopoly, or octopus, that's what
It K The packers have us in the hole
and they are going to keep us there un
til the last dollar Is Bqueexed out of us
yes, and out fit every individual con
sumer of beef. It's a corner and that's
all there Is to It."
Other restaurant men took the Jump
In prices more philosophically and
nearly all declared they would not raise
the prices of the various steaks upon
their menus. "The prices have raised
already," said a Randolph street res
tauranteur, "to about as high a figure
as they will stand, and we will have
to grin and bear it for awhile."
Stock yards men stuck sturdily to the
assertion that there was no trust, and
pointed to the high prices paid the
Western cattlemen for their animals.
Steaks are to cost 2 or 3 cents a pound
more ae the result of the lncrea e. Cat
tle on the hoof are selling at $6.D0 a
100 pounds, which Is the highest price
reached In September since 1882. An an
explanation of the continual Increase
In prices, the packers say the demand
Is even greater by 100 per cent than It
ever was before. And, beslJes, Just at
present there Is an enormous demand
for beef from abroad, and the number
of live cattle being exported will In
crease from 1,000 to 2.000 per week.
