nilla's Revolutionary Movement In
Honduras Proves a Fiasco Coast
of Honduras Patrolled by Soldiers.
The Norwegian steamships Impera-
tor and Dictator, which have been
detained tit. Now Orleans for more
than a week because of the ac
tion of Norway In recognizing the
Madrlz blockade of Bluefields, have
Railed for that port In accordance
with the United States stale depart
mcntH announcement that llluellelds
Is an open port and that the blockade,
a more paper one, Is not binding. A
part of the cargo of the steamers con
Hinting of perishable food products
which had spoiled during the long de
lay, was unloaded.
Norway has not yet changed her
opinion In recard to the Uiuefields
blockade, but the Norwegian owners
ot these vessels, which were charter
ed by Americans, regarded the ruling
of Secretary Knox in this matter aa
assuming protection to the boats and
their cargoes. The European . Insur
ance companies accepted the Knox
ruling that the vessels are not a wur
risk.
Conditions in Honduras relative to
the reporled revolution was somewhat
cleared today by announcement that
the Konlila revolutionary movement
had proved a fiasco. The Norwegian
steamer L'tU'n, it Is claimed, carried
a large (piintlly of arms, nmmultion
etc., the arms being Intended for the
expedition heuded by General Bonil
la. which slipped out of British Hon
duras la two schooners despite the
precautions of the British colonial
officials. The arms were to be trans
Milpped to these schooners in mid-
ciean.
It appears, however, that the revo
lutionary movement was betrayed.
that the Hondiiran government was
tipped off and sent 2,000 well armed
soldiers to the Atlantic coast.
The Hondiiran government had Its
men watching the entire toast line for
the revolutionary bands, the Bonllla
adherents here say.

WESTERN CROPS DAMAGED
President Brown Reports Pastures
Badly Burned Corn Normal.
Tho great uncertainty as to the
action of the federal Interstate com;
merce commission In regard to in
creased freight rates and unfavorable
crop reports have combined to exert
a retarding effect on general business
conditions, according to W. C. Brown,
president of the New York Central
lilies, who was at the Blackstone ho
tel, Chicago, on his return East aftef
a Western trip.
Mr. Brown had compiled a report
on crop conditions in the West, which
waf even more unfavorable than the
recent government report, except for
the Northwestern states.
"I have Just returned from a trip
Into Southwest Iowa and Northwest
Missouri," ;ie said, "and have re
ceived reports from good judges of
crop conditions who have made a very
thorough Inspection of the conditions
In Minnesota and the Dakotas. They
report a CO per cent crop of small
grain and a GO per cent crop of hay.
"In Iowa, north of a line drawn
cast and west through Dubuque,
Waterloo and Fort Dodge to Sioux
City, the weather has been hot, the
pastures burned badly and the .small
grain and hay crop cut fully 2." per
cent. Corn, with fairly favorable,
weather, promises a normal yield.
"The Southwcf.t quarter of Iowa
and northwest of the Missouri river
has harvested a small crop of grain
and hay, except' in quantity and
(quality.
"Personally I am not at all appre
hensive of the results of Increasing
the Interstate commerce commission's
power," Mr. B-own said, "but rail
roads generally are not Inclined to
use their capital In extending and Im
proving the railroads until they can
tell better what the roads' revenues
are likely to be.
"Uncertainty as to freight rates Is
bound to have a checking effect on
general business because men cannot
make long lime contracts ahead with
out being able to figure on the trans
portation cost."
WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW
Report on the Condition of Business
by R. G. Dun & Co.
n. G. Dun & Co's Weekly Review
fays:
Midsummer dullness Is less pro
nounced in both wholesale and reta.i
departments of trade and as the lead
ing markets are gradually relieved of
some of the difficulties with which
they have been beset crop uncertain
There is still much idle cotton ma
chinery In New England and a two
weeks' shutdown Is scheduled for Au
gust, but curtailment Is forcing a re
covery from the low prices and there
is less pressure to liquidate stocks.
Some substantial business is report
ed in wo.ilens and while the Eastern
markets for wool continue quiet, pri
mary markets In the West are active
ties, price Inconsistencies and of
their disturbing elements a broader
demand develops.
Footwear factories, East and West
are resuming and trade Is much Im
proved in leather while hides have re
covered from the low point, large ac
cumulations having been moved.
Further revisions In some branches
of iron and steel Induce some trade.
Production Is well maintained at a
high level and labor Is well employed
throughout the industry.
Flour production In the Northwest
continues greatly reduced. Cancella
tions In spring wheat territory are
less numerous and some orders are
being reinstated, as stocks are gen
erally very low.
Dry weather again prevails In most
parts of the spring wheat belt, yet tin-
unfavorable conditions have been
largely discounted, and as an offset
the movement of new wheat is In
creasing, while the cash demand re
mains dull.
Commercial failures In the United
States are 246 against 247 last week.

Goldman Says Wider Alone Is
Not Responsible For Big Thett.
Lawyer for Russo-Chinese Bank
Adds That Those Implicated
With Former Employe Are Not
Connected With Institution Wid
er's Attorney Says Bank Was Not
Fair With Client Institution Fully
Protected, Says Official.
New York, July 26. The J80.000
block of bonds that were advertised
on Friday as having been stolen from
a strong box in the New York agen
cy of the Russo-Chlncse bank have
proved to be a small part of this
financial institution's actual loss. It
was stated authoritatively that the to
tal approximated $600,000 and thl3
figure was confirmed by Inspector
Markowiski, who represents the main
olllce in St. Petersburg in Its inquiry,
and by Julius Goldman, the bank's
attorney. But It appears that Erwln
Wider, tho cashier who has confessed
that he took considerably more than
580,000 worth of securities, is not held
by the bank responsible for the theft
of the whole amount. Mr. Markow
iski declared that this was true when
he was asked whether WIder's takings
would stretch beyond the half million
mark.
Others Concerned In Case.
"You know that other persons are
concerned in this besides Wider,"
said he, and a moment later he de
clared, "I want to make It. clear that
anyone concerned with Wider in
these thefts is entirely unconnected
with the bank."
. Although the inspector was not
willing to ampliry this remark his
statement in itself confirmed the be
lief that exists In the minds of certain
men In the financial district that a
complete Investigation into the af
fairs of the local agency may follow
at the request, ot men in this coun
try who are Interested in Beeing
whether there has been any wrongdo
ing on a large scale by outside per
sons. II has been learned that such
a suggestion is being formulated and
that it will be addressed to the Rus
sian minister of finance as the per
son who should start an Inquiry of
this son. His representative in this
country is Ciegcry Wllenkln, finan
cial agent of the imperial Russian
government, whose office Is in New
Loudon, Conn.
Wider, the cashier, is still missing
and a number of central office detec
tives have been sent by Inspector
Russell to get him. Exactly why he
keeps out. of sight Is not plain, for hi
lawyer said: "Wider is going to
plead to this charge; he is going to
take his medicine all right. But the
bank people did not play square with
him and now he is going to make them
hunt for him."
"What do you mean by their not
playing square?" he was asked.
"Well, the idea was that the search
for these securities should be carried
on quietly and that any action was to
be withheld until fall," said Oinsbtirg.
"Wider was going to help them look
for thest bonds. One day last week
Wider and 1 went to Goldman's of
fice to meet him and Markowiski.
"It was understood that Wider
should be given 24 hours in which to
return to the place where he was
hiding. As a matter of fact he was a
little afraid to be absolutely frank
with them and he did not go to the
place that they thought he had in
mind. And It was a good thing that
he did not, because men were sent to
be there w hen he got back. Of course.
they did nt find him and they have
not found him yet."
Did Not Give Names bf Brokers.
Lawyer Glnsburg did not make
good his announcement of Saturday
night when he said that he would give
out the names of the stock exchange
houses with which Wider was able
to do business. He said it was not a
bin IT and that he knew the name of
several of these firms.
He said that lie had never seen a
list of the stocks and bonds with
which Wider had traded. He be
lieved that Goldman had such a list
and that they were tracing these se
curities. On this subject Inspectof
Markowiski said:
"The bank is fully protected and
you may rest assured that every cent
of these securities will be returned."
Consld'-rable interest was express
ed among wall street men today in
the chances of the bank to recovef
Secretary Ely of the Stock exchange;
could not ho induced to give his opin
ion on this question; nor would he
comment upon ihe probability thai
any firms which had done business
with Widrer would be disciplined.
Opinion varied among brokers on
the subject of ability to recover thesfl
siocks and bonds.

CHILDREN MENACEDBY'POP"
Raids of Chicago Factories Planed
Because of Lead Salts Adulteration.
Chicago, July 26. Wholesale raids
of establishments where "doped" pop
is alleged to be made, and the confis
cation of thousands of bottles of the
beverage are contemplated by the de
partment of health as a result of the
discovery that much of it Is "docter
od" with lead salts, to "create an ap
lielite." Chemists of the department
have reported to Health Commission
er Evan? that pop manufactured by a
North side concern was found to con
tain between one and one-half and two
grains of lead of salts in each bottle
tested.
The Investigation was brought
about through experiments conducted
by Dr. George W. Thilo, Jr., a North
tide physician, and E. J. Heiss, a
druggist. The physician had treated
numerous children whose malady puz
zled him, and learned that many had
been drinking pop. To thoroughly in
vestlgate he drank 14 bottles of the
lieuod and became severely ill from
lead poisoning. Mr. Hoiss was afflict
ed In the same way after a similar
venture.
"The children have been In the
habit of going to stores where this
drink is sold nt two cents a bottle, a
price at which it could not be made
with proper precautions." sail Dr.
Ihilo. "The heallli department should
destroy the apparatus in these con
cerns and confiscate all of their bot
tled goods."
JEFFRIES TO
FIGHT AGAIN?
Said to Be liter Another Battle
With Johnson.
San Francisco, July 26. Some cur
ious stoiles are coming out of Los
Angeles, showing that Jeffries in re
covering his nerve after his defeat at
Reno is actually considering a return
match with Johnson. Promoter Rlck-
ard has been with Jeffries for about
three weeks and the two have Just re
turned from a fortnight's hunting and
fishing expedition on Catalina Island,
Jelfries caught ninny fish, and com
ing back he lanehed and chatted for
the first time since his crushing de
feat.
When asked to explain his poof
showing in the recent battle he said:
lhere was something the matter
with me. They sure did something
to me, and it will all come out in
time."
Jeffries would not say any more
and he would not talk about a return
match but the boatmen and others
who have heard him talk say he la
very Bore over his defeat and eagfr
to show that If In shape the negroia
Mows would not have bothered him.
Mrs. Jeffries is said to be opposed
to Jeffries returning to the ring but
her influence will not count against
the big coin Inducements that Tex
Uickard can offor. Rirkard wants to
pull off 'another fight In Reno and ha
estimates he could duplicate the re
tent crowd If Jeffries was hhown to
be In shape.
