In the evncuatlon ceremonies tomorrow Lieutenant Wade, the son of Major General Wade, will rnlse the American ling over Morro Cnstle and Fltzhuch Lee, Jr over Cabanas fortress. It appears that the Spanish naval authorities have offered to soli privately the slgnnl Hags, staffs iiid other aids to navigation at Morro Castle. When the United States mili tary commissioners heard of It Brlga 3ler General Clous protested to Captain General Castcllanos. The latter, who said he was quite unaware of any such attempt, promptly Issued orders to the contrary. The address of the Cuban Junta Patrlotlcn, regarding the abandonment of the proposed evacuation demonstra tions has been widely circulated. It Is as follows: 'To the people of Havana: In ac cordance with the wishes of the Ameri can authorities, the directory of the Junta Patrlotlca, after consultation with the main committee, has agreed to suspend the festivities planned to celebrate the Independence of the Isl and. In a reasonable letter to the com mission charged with presenting the festival program General Ludlow has Indicated the deslrnblllty of suspending for the present public demonstrations, owing to a rumor that at the present moment, when the Cuban police are not yet organized, there might be some Interruption of public order, In the preservation of which all citizens, and especially all Cubans, are deeply In terested. "At the same time General Ludlow declares that the American authorities nre In full sympathy with the Joyous feeling of the Cubans, and that, when the sltuail l becomes more settled, they will take pleasure In promoting such festivals as have been proposed, and will even participate In them. But the American authorities are convinced that the present moment Is not op portune for celebrations. "In view of the fact thnt the consid erations thus urged are quite In accord with obvious good Judgment, the repre sentatives of the directory have de termined to suspend the festivals ar ranged for the coming week, which will be carried out as Boon as circum stances permit. The directory regrets the existence of such doubts and mis givings as prevent the carrying out of the program as projected, but they have agreed to recommend to the Cu bans to co-operate in maintaining order during the change of flags and in the days following, because they are con vinced that the moderation and orderly behavior of the Cuban people at these moments will powerfully Influence the future destiny of our country."

LITERATURE Is an International weekly journal of literary criticisr.i It is a comparatively new periodical, which has been recognized from its first number as a review of the highest standing. CRITICAL REVIEWS Thoughtful, thorough, and comprehensive reviews of all important publica tions in the civilized world, trench, German, Italian, Spanish, as well as English and American works, are treated from week to week. BELLES-LETTRES Special articles appear weekly in the paper, sometimes under the title of " Among My Books," written by such well-known authors and critics as EDMUND ClOSSG MAX MLILLER SIR HERBERT MAXWELL DEAN 5TUBDS and from time to time original nieces of literary work, poems, fiction, and essays are published, but In each case only from the pens of world-famous writers, such as RUDVARD KIPLINO OEORQE MEREDITH Each week a leading article la the nature of an editorial appears. These leaders are prepared by the editor, and deal exclusively with literary subjects. AMERICAN LETTERS The Bi-weekly letter, written by William Dean Howells, deals in that author's origual and keen way with subjects of vital interest in the American world of letters and art.

Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says: The year 1SDS has not only been one of victory, of important Increase In territory and of Incalculable expansion of the lntlu ence of the United States among- other nations, but has surpassed all other years In financial and Industrial re sults. The center of financial power has crossed the ocean. After paylntt debts of several hundred millions abrond, and conducting a war to an honorable end, the country Is lending bo many millions In Europe that for the first time banks abroad look to New York to dictate the rate of exchange. Exports have been about $1,250,000,000, and the excess over Imports about $017, 000,000. against $357,000,000 In 1887, and In only two previous years has the bal ance risen to $300,000,000. In no past calendar year have net Imports of gold reached $75,000,000, but this year they have been about $140,000,000. No vember passed all previous months In value of produce exports over Imports, but December has gone much beyond November. Power in the world's markets comes with n demand for breadstuffs and other necessaries never before equaled. Exports of cotton have been over 7, 700.000 bales, about 3,036,000,000 pounds. and in no previous year as much as 7,000.000 bales, or 3,500,000,000 pounds. Exports of breadstuffs have been In value $283,918,291 In 11 months, and have never been as large In any other year. Exports of wheat for the year, lack ing a day or two, have been 218,594, C8G bushels, flour Included, slightly ex ceeded only by 225.GG5.S12 In 1892, and of corn 200,979,077 bushels, only approach ed by 189,127,570 in 1897. The heaviest expotts of both grains and flour In any previous year were 59,000,000 bushels smaller, only 360,220,513, in 1897. The triumph in finance has been largely due to Industrial progress. The output of pig iron has been about 11, 645,000 tons, the greatest yet reached In any year by 2,000,000 tons, and great er than Great BrltRin ever reached by 2,800,000 tons. Yet the consumption In manufacture has been still larger, in spite of net exports of pig, in ten months 163,089 tons, for unsold stocks were reduced In 11 months 380,000 tons. Exports of iron monufactures in ten months were about $87,644,536 In value, against Imports of $13,497,817. Prices shown for the year In the table of com parlsons have been unusually steady. varying not 5 per cent for pig from the lowest to the highest, and for finished products not 6 per cent. Textile industries have been retarded by high prices of wool and abnormally low prices of cotton, both deterring pur chases. In three months cotton reach ed 5.31 cents, the luwest price for 50 years, the greatest yield ever known being followed by receipts since Sep tember of 357.000 bales larger than last year. Exports have Increased, but not as greatly. Toward the close recovery came with accounts of some destruction by storm, and the price reached 5.87 cents, giving a strong Impulse to the manufacture, so that the takings by northern and southern spinners In the calendar year have been 3,425,206 bales, a little greater than In any previous crop year. Bradstreet's review says: Holiday quiet in general demand, sustained actively In Industrial lines, particularly Iron and steel, exceptionally large shipments of goods on orders, liberal cereal exports and especially heavy dealings In speculative markets are features calling for notable mention In the closing week of thp year. Firm ness In price Is likewise an encouraging feature in most staples. Wheat, though showing a reaction. Is higher on the week on large export clearances, and other cereals are In sympathy, rig Iron demand grows and prices for this product and for steel rails, steel billets, plates and wire rods are all higher on the week, while the volume of foreign demand for our finished metal products apparently increases as the year draws to its conclusion. Concisely stated, the reports received as to the year s business in nil sec tions of the country point to an un precedented volume of domestic and export trade, which Is reflected In bank clearings that break the high record of 1892. The general level of prices of staples nnd securities at the close of the year Is at the highest point reached for five years past. Hnllroad earnings exceed all previous years, and finally theie was a smaller number of failures and lower liabilities than reported In any year for at least five years past. These general results In the country at large have been achieved, too, not withstanding the outbreak and conclu sion of a foreign war and In spite also of unfavorable conditions In some In dustries. There were 11,038 failures In the Uni ted States In 1S9S, Involving liabilities of $111,137,117, a decrease from 1897 In number of 11.2 per cent and in liabilities of 9.5 per cent. Compared with 1896 and 189.) the proportion of decrease shown Is oven larger, and compared with 1893 failures were fewer by 25 per cent and liabilities smaller by U4 per cent. Decreases are also shown when compared with 1891, a year of large trade, but of numerous and costly fail ures, but compared with 1892 there Is an Increase shown of id per cent in number and 30 per cent In liabilities. The tendency of failures toward tho normal Is Illustrated by the fact that the percentage of assets to liabilities Is the smallest reported since 1892. Beats th Klondike. Mr. A. C.

Tho Johannesburg correspondent of The Times says: In yesterday's Issue The Rand Post ex plains that its recent articles denounc ing the promotors of the mass meeting of Ultlanders held here on Sunday to protest against the murder of Edgar by 11 Boer policeman were written to pre vent further trouble. Prom the dav that a vounir man starts out to seek his first position to the end of his business life, his health has a world to do with his success. When a young man applies to a business man for a position, his personal appearance nas a aeai 10 uo wiin the outcome. " Personal appearance" does not mean' dress alone. It does not mean exterior cleanliness alone. A young man may be clean, so far as soap and water will make him, but be disfigured by unsightly pimples, eruptions and ulcerations on the skin. These are due to impurities in the blood. The blood becomes impure because it is improperly nourished. Instead of receiving the life-giving: elements of the food, it receives the foul emanations of indigestion, bilousness and costiveness. The reason that Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is the best remedy for disorders of this description is that it goes right to first causes. It gives a man an appetite " like a horse." It facilitates the flow of digestive juices. It corrects all disorders of the digestion, and makes the assimilation of the life-giving elements of the food perfect. It invigorates the liver. It purifies and enriches the blood. It makes the muscles strong and active. It tones and steadies the nerves. It makes a young man look as he should strong of body, alert of brain and clean and whole some of skin.
