With the Speitker.
Wasiiinciton, March 0. Considerable
miscellaneous business was transacted
iu tho house, but much of it was of a
minor character. Tho most important
bills passed were one to ratify a treaty
with Coiuinnnehe, Kiowa and Apache
Indians and opening their lands for set
tlement and one authorizing the secre
tary of tho interiato with the Kiowa
anil Coniinanches for a neutral strip in
Oklahoma.
During the consideration of a bill to
incorporate tho Frederick Douglass
Memorial and Historical association the
speaker and Mr. Bailey, of Texas, ex
changed sharp words, with the result
that the latter inaugurated a filibnstei
and ultimately prevented the final pas
sage of tho bill by demanding tho read
ing of tho engrossed bill. Tho bill pro
poses to collect nt the residence of the
late Frodeii 'k Douglass, iu this city, a
record of the anti-slavery movement.
Mr. Underwood, of Alabama, was ap
pointed to tho vacancy on tho commit

Topeka, March 6. The subscription
for tho Sheldon edition of The Capitol,
beginning with tho issno of March 13,
passed the 100,000 mark with a bushel
basket full of letters unopened. Next
day an express wagon hauled to The
Capitol office a load of letters which
will require tho services of a dozen
extra clerks to o)eu and put on tho mail
ing list.
It is thought the rush has only com
menced. This unique venture in a busi
ness way is surprising the fondest dreams
of the origiuators, and to handle it, Tho
Capitol needs tho facilities of the largest
metropolitan daily newspaper iu the
United States.
Subscriptions are coming from every
civilized quarter of tho globe. The To
peka postuftiee is already clogged, and
Postmaster Guthrie has telegraphed to
Washington twice for additional help.

Bkhlin, March 5. Tho semi-official
ilorliiior Post, in a strong article, again
liegs the anglophobia press to discon
tinue the practice of abusing British
statesmen and generals and British en
terprises generally, declaring that "this
docs more harm than some may sup
pose." The Post asserts, on the authority of a
private letter from the Transvaal, re
wivel at Hamburg, that the Burr re
publics, on Jan. 15, had issued alto
gether 4(l,4)0 identification cards to Boers
in the field.
The writer of the letter claims that
these figures represented the total f"d

Dun's Kevlew So State o tha Weekly
Output In Iron and St.el Ke
vlew of Trade
New Yokk, March 3. R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade issued to
day said in part:
Besides the K81 winmercial failures
for $0,!):;i,0-iS which was were reported
there wvtv in February six banking fail-,
tires for -(420,241, and receivers were ap
x)inted for the United States Flour
Milling company, with $5,000,000 of
stock mid I5,(HK),(KH) of bonds author
ized at it organization List ; April, and
for Third Avenue Railroad company,
nf ler lien for several millions had been
placed upon the property. Unless sepa
rated from such events, commercial fail
ures could not be compared with benefit.
The manufacturing failures for $4,
257,(i:SS were linger than iu February of
1S1I0 or . 1SJ5, but more than half the
amount was in two classes, four large
lumber and one clothing failure 'making
38 per cent of the whole. The trading
failures were Lirger than in FeVruary of
List year, inly but 20 ier cent p '. these
defaults wore made in five failures. ' In
most branches tho comparison with pre
vious years is encouraging and analysis
brings out in strong light -the remark
ably low average of liabilities in the
smaller failures which constitute the
great majority indicating sound busi
ness conditions and unusually satisfac
tory collections. -.
Except across the ocean, whore events
in South Ajrica caused nearly all busi
ness to lie forgotten, changes in the stock
market rnuk next in financial interest to
the rise of cotton. It was a revelation
of the appreciation iu which American
railway stocks are held to see them
strongly supported, with Third Avenue
falling toaliont 50 and Flour Milling dis
missed to the hands of receivers.
The small rise iu wheat List week,
although the price is quite low, sufficed
to call from the farms such receipts,.
4.105,1)01 bushels, against 3,105,437 bush
ols List year, as to indicate that supplies
are not nearly exhausted. Exports from
AtLintic jxirts continue small, for the
week, flour included, only l,K12,30rt
bushels, against 4,00i),i)84 bushels List
year, and in four weeks from both coasts
exports have been 11,030,200 bushels,
against 14,823,373 bushels. Though ex
ports ran behind last year's, which were
almost uneqiialed, they have already
exceeded in tight months those of most
full years, and the exjiorts of corn, in
four weeks 12,724,045 bushels, a gainst
12,051,053 bushels List year, explain
much of the difficulty, corn rising x4
cent during the week, while wheat de
clined V-i cents.
The iron and steel industry continues
the greatest weekly output ever known,
even whilo men sjieak of it as waiting
for more definite assurances about the
future. Prices of pig yield a little, some
sales of Bessemer having been made at
Pittsburg for $24, and anthracite No. 1
is quoted here at f 23.50. Billets have been
sold nt 33 at Pittsburg. For most fin
ished products prices are stronger than
a week ago, or as strong, lairs and sheets
being strengthened by large business,
while only phites apear weaker, 2.10
being quoted for sizes not the widest.
Coke is scarce and higher iu spite of the
Lirgest output ever known, and the
wages of hands have been raised 12'g
per cent to the highest ever paid.
Failures for tho week were 222 in the
United States, against 18(1 List year, and
28 in Canada, against 470 List year.
