Uradstrect'sS tomor row will gay : Statistics of 'failures point to continued trade Improvement and to a itlll ebbing- tide of business mortality. Palluro rcpqrts for the llrst and second quarters of the year left little 'to bo de sired , showing as they did fewer failures i than In diiy but the tncst favored ytars and liabilities the smallest for at least Ecvert- teen years. Returns by months ahowod failures and liabilities In 'June only about one-half what they wore In January , Indi cating that failures were well down to the minimum possible when the friction In or dinary business life was considered. The present report of business failures Is , however , even better than any that has | i ! Keno before It 1n recent years and the third HuartBr of the year 1899 appropriately enough shows the fewest failures , the small est liabilities and the smallest proportion nf assets , to liabilities of which tlioro Is any recent record. As Indicative of this good showing being representative of existing conditions , It U to be remarked that failures and liabilities nllho found their minimum this year In September , and corresponding totals ot previous years show that the month Just closed comes near to If. not actually possessslng the record of the smallest busi ness embarrassment/ ) and liabilities. There were only 2,020 failures , Involving $13,550,303 in liabilities and ? G,3IO,28 < 5 In assets In the third quarter of 1S19 , a de crease of IB per cent In number nnd ot 48 per cent In liabilities from the same quar ter ot last year , which. It Is hardly neces sary to add , was a very good one for busi ness generally Compared with the secona quarter of ISO ! ) liabilities are 18 per cent smaller , and compared with the first three mnntlm of this year liabilities are less than half as heavy. This tendency Is practically universal , though a slight Increase In num ber and liabilities of failures In the west over those In .the second quarter Is notice able' . rAgalnst' this , however , It Is to bc , re called that comparisons within n year agi pttrc satisfactory- though business conditions last year In the west and noithwest nr highly favorable. Ppcjipps the meat satisfactory showing of all ' ( { ' that made by the southern states , wljfch , have at least , apparently , begun to share ! In the prosperity earlier noted In other ectlons of the country. Confirmation of roporta from time to time of improving southern 'trade conditions , partly , of coursr , the result of bettor cotton prices. Is found Iti current 'failure returns. Growth-In'pppulatlon , and , consequently. In the number of traders Is , apparently , mainly responsible for the increased num ber of failures throughout the territories. The total number of failures for the nine months was only 7,075 , a falling off ot 20 per cent from last year , of 28 per cent from 1807 , and of 37 per cent from 1SO , which ( ear hold the record for the most numerous ijlno months. ' failures , exceeding even thu pjntc year , 1803. As regards liabilities , the total for the- period under review , $63- SJu,21S ! Is 35 per cent smaller thnn It wna last year , -15 per cent smaller than In 1897 , fil per cent smaller than In 1800 , SO per cent smaller than In 1883 , the panic year ; 11 pur cent smaller than In 1S92 , and. In fact , Is the smallest aggregate of liabilities for the period mentioned that there la any iccord of. Assels show even greater shrinkage - ago , being -14 per cent less than last year , Ices than half what they were In 1897 , 1893 or in 1894 ; only one-third of those of 1890 and onlyoneseventh of what they were In 1S03. It Is not btrnnge , therefore , to find that the percentage of assets to liabilities Is only 44 per cent this yeur , against fil laat year , C5 In 1807 , G8 In 1800 and 70 In 1893.

" NEW YORK , Oct. 6. Thla lifts been a day of rest for the Hoard of International raccr , Columbia was towed from Sandy Hook to Day niilgo to get It out of any danger from , ] the , northeaster. The Shamrock remained ; at Its anchorage at the Hook , Its people willing to take the chances. The wind blew up pretty fresh about 0 o'clock , but thoru was nothing to threaten harm to a yacht socll protected by tenders ami tugs , to say nothing of the powerful Erin. Thr > feeling on iboth Bides Is of confidence. Mr. Isellu thinks lie will win. Sir Thomas Llpton has a nlco little corner In the Erin all ready for the cup. The public Is In doubt and It mlist be said tnat there la a fee-Hug of Indecision nmons the expert jnchtsmcn. The two days of drifting have furnished almost nothing on which to base opinion. They have , however , seemed to etrengthen the bets that the Shamrock In n thoroughly dangerous preposition. There Is now a well Bounded opinion and If the two days of ght airs have done anything they have haken the confident feeling that has pre- alled among the backers of the Columbia. 'hosu who hnve watched closely o ery lovemcnt of the two jachta aie firm In the > ellof that there Is little to chooee between licm In a drltt and It Is remembered that a the Shamrock people have never asserted hat It was a drifter , It may readily bo un- erelood that there Is reason for rise In the hamrock stock. Twice In the two days of racing there lave been times when both boats wore sall- ng under exactly the same conditions. Fern n hour after the etart on Thursday both wcro sailing dead before a light wind , with ho same spread of canvas. On Tuesday he Shamrock drew away from the Colum- ) la. On Thursday the Columbia drew away rom the Shamrock. No one- can draw lines on the racers from this and it can afoly be said that the only change that has taken ilace in the feeling of yachtsmen Is one hat tends to Increase the doubt. Weather IiuIlciiUntiH ] < "nvorul > U' . It now looks ai though the first race to a finish would come In a good stiff breeze. At sundown the wind was blowing hard from .he north. The weather was clearing and : here were good signs of a pretty hard northwester In the morning. If It corner the world will see the death struggle for yachting supremacy In the history of Inter national racing. with Its great malnsnlls snugly stowed on the boom under a waterproof cover the yacht Columbia lay at anchor off Sea Beach pier nt Day ttldge today riding out'th * easterly storm under the leefland. All Its other sails were unbent and stowed below , where they will bo kept dry until needed. Should there bo rain and a strong breeze , however , the nails -will not , be spared to morrow for rain or shine. Barring acci dents th , < ? yachts wll | start In fhej racaahdi make a third attempt to"1 complete the course of fifteen miles windward or leeward arid back. back.When When seen by an Associated Press re porter on .board the tendtr St. Michaels , C. Oliver laelin , the Columbia's manager and owner , saidVo : know practically noth ing more of the merits of the boats than wo did on Tuesday. If anything we know leas , for wo did not turn the outer mark this time , but f have every confidence In ihu Columbia's ability to outsail the Shamrock on all points when wo get a steady breeze. That's what we want some wind. " "In case ( hero Is wind enough to force the yachts to shorten sail , how would the Columbia's mainsail bo reefed , with a lacing . or with reef points ? " wna asked. I "With reef points In the rigway , " replied Isclln. "Out I dsn't think we shall have to reef at any time during these races. These boats will carry whole mainsails for a long time. " Of Thursday's race , leclln added : "When wo made that last tack wo were not able to cioss the Shamrock's bow , but in all the windward work there was very little dif ference In the sailing of the yachts. We were In the best position most of the time and the Shamrock was only a few yards ahead when the race was called off. " Mr. laelln said the came guests would been on board the Columbia In tomorrow's race as were there on previous days. Speaking of Commodoio J. Plerpont Mor gan's Interest In the races , Mr. laelln said : "I have not seen the commodore since we began to race , but I am auro ho it , following INSANE MAJOR.

The early rising sallormen of the Colum bia heard the whimpering of the wind nt Hook today and they saw Tli the rainstorm the prospect of a real day's rest. They needed It , too , for though the easily loll ing excursion crowds who watched the race figured that the sailors must be working easier than any men they ever saw , the fact I was that the crew , to a man , worked three times as hard as It a. genuine race had been sailed. Eight times the spinnaker was set and taken in , while the stowing of balloon and topsail waa an ajmost momentary occur rence. When the men turned out today they found that their spell of rest was to bo very near a reality. Mr. Iselln decided \ for ono thing that it would be good to move up lo- Bay Ilidge. | There was a look In the sky which hlnled i that some other anchorage might be better. So the consort was called ahead and a little after 9 o'clock the towing began. The Columbia was Jogged along easily , like a racer do.va from the lino. Two coastwise steamers pasted It and the HUle cluster of storm-clad passengers gave it a 1 cheer. 'A little under two hours from the tlmo It lelt Its anchorage Inside the Horse Shoe , fho Columbia anchored off Bay Rldgc. The wind seemed to have an extra Jam at U then nnd after ranking fast to the buoy the anchor was got over as well.

CIIIINCM Mr TliomiiH < o I.uiiKh. The Shamrock lay all day tossed on the whlte-tcapped waves off the Horse Shoo , watched anxiously 'from the deck of the Erin by Sir Thomas Lipton and his guests. The only sign of Ufa upon the devk was a sturdy sailor clad lu oilskin pacing back and forth keeping watch. When Sir Thomas was told Uio Columbia had departed for a more shel tered anchorage , he asked laughingly If the American beauty could not stand the- wind and wuather at well as the Shamrock. Nothing whatever has been done to the Shamrock flnco ye turduy's race , ns the light olra which floated acrot the water then would not have broken a linen thread and the overhauling of the rigging and hal yards was dispensed with. Sir Thomas Llpton expressly stated , when questioned on the subject that Captain Ben Parker , skipper of the German em peror's yacht , Meteor , waa on board the Shamrock simply aa a guett and friend of Skippers Hogarth and \Vrlngo and that not withstanding all reports to the contrary , ha took no part at all In sailing the Shamrock in yesterday's race. Sir Thomas stated that the Shamrock had proved Itself to 'be ' an excellent drifter and that ho was very much pleased with its rorformanceo In light nlr . It Is evident that Sir Thomas and hU friends are modestly confident that the Shamrock will muke an extremely good fhowlnn against the Columbia In a brctvo and are greatly pleated at Its good per formances in thu light weather hitherto prevailing , Sir Thomas mulled when he was told that the forecast for tomorrow prom ised a fair day and plenty of wind and said that such a day at ) today , without the rain , was what he was longing for. Among the most prominent of the guests aboard the Erin during tomo/row'a race will by Rt ai Admiral Scbley , U , S. N , and the governor general of Canada , Lord Mlnto. Admiral Dcwey , It Is stated , will not bo able to accept Sir Thomas' Invitation before Tuesday , any way , and nothing definite hns been settled upon for that day ; but It is Admiral Dewcy's hope and Sir Thomas' most earnest wish that the former will tra frea from other engagements so that he can Witness nt least ono race from the bridge of the1 Erin.

Added to the distress occasioned by the serloua Illness of ex-Governor Alvln Saunders - ders , the news of the death of Senator Har- lan , the "Grand Old Man of Iowa , " came as a doubly bovero shock to tno family o ! the former. Because of Governor Saunders' critical condition he has not been Infoimed of the demise ot his life-long friend , with whom his relations were as close- and Inti mately associated as though they ivero brothers. Although the Intelligence of Sen ator Harlan's death aroused genuine grief In the Saundcra homo , by reason ot the care ful guard of Mrs. Saunders , who 'bravely ' held up under the burden of sorrow , no sus picion has entered the mind ot Nebraska's war governor of the shadow which has fal len. Mrs. Saunders sorrowfully exclaimed jcs- tcrday : "Ah , no ; wo have not told the governor of Senator Harlan's death. Ho Is so nervous that I fear the shock would provo disastrous. Wo must hide our grief from him , although It is hard to do , for Senator Harlan was so near and dear to all of us. It seems but n few dajs since ho was hero and by his cheering presence encouraged the governor in the critical period of his illness , but it hns been several weeks. At that timewe feared Governor Saunders would pass away , but the presence of Sen ator Harlan had a wonderful effect upon him. Ho was hern very nearly a week and they were together almost constantly. They had many good talks and the governor speaks of the visit so often now. "What relationship exists between Gov ernor Saunders nnd Senator Harlan ? It Is on my aide and Is somewhat distant , al though their long association together mode them as dear to each other as brothers. Senator Harlan married my cousin. She made her homo with my father , M. F. Bar low , at Grecncastlo , Ind. , for many years and Senator IJarlan became acquainted with our family while bo was a student at dear old Asbury university. Afterward ho married my cousin and they moved to Iowa , where I made my homo with them for several 1 years. Governor Saunders became ac quainted with the senator soon after ho came to Iowa and it was during the tlmo that I lived with my cousin , Mrs. Harlan , that Governor Saunders met me. The two , men were fast friends and were leading I spirits together In all political matters. I will never forget the season that Senator Harlan served In Lincoln's cabinet as score- tary of the interior and his death removes the last of the men who were associated with President Lincoln as cabinet officers. The senator Ecemcd so halo and hearty when he visited us HO recently ' that it doeeu't seem potsslblo that he bus passed away , although It Isn't surprising. ( for he was. I believe , about 82 years of ago. " Owing to the ( tineas of Governor Saunders - ders , Mra. Sounders will bo unable to at tend the funeral of Senator Harlan , which occurs at Mt.
