New York, Jan. 7. R. G. Dan A
Co.' s Weekly Review of Trade says:
Failures lor 1894 are fully reported
this week, being1 13,883 in the United
States and 1,586 in the Dominion
of Canada. Liabilities in the United
States were 8172,992,856. and in
Canada, 117,616,215. Neither the de
crease of over half in this country nor
the increase of over forty per
cent in Canada is surprising, but the
statement shows that most of the
decrease in the United States was
In manufacturing liabilities, while
the entire increase in Canada is
in liabilities of trading concerns. A
few states, including New York and
Pennsylvania, show more failures
than in 1893, and in a few Southern
states the amount of liabilities is
larger, but in the Central and West
ern states very much smaller. In
eleven of the last thirty-eight years
reported liabilities nave been larger
than in 1894, though for this year and
1893 the statement is confined to com
mercial failures, as it was not in
former years. The failures have
been 12.5 to every 1,000 firms doing
business; the liabilities have averaged
1132.77 to each firm in trade, and in
froportion to the volume of solvent

house exchanges, 12.63 for every
$1,000.
The complete review of different
branches' of business places in a clear
light the fact that prices of com
modities are at the lowest level ever
known. Eight years ago in July
prices averaged only 73.69 per cent of
the prices for the same articles and
in the same markets January 1, 1800,
and this remained the lowest point
ever touched until August 10, 1893,
when the average fell to 72.76, but
early this year prices dropped below
all previous records, and have never
recovered, the average decrease
of 26 being only 68.73 per cent of
the prices in I860. The range was
very little higher at the end of the
year, and about as low October 25.
The fall since a year ago has been
6)4 per cent, but very unequal in dif
ferent branches. In iron and steel
products, 14 per cent; in wool, 13.4 per
cent; in woolens and cottons, about
15 per cent. These changes contrast
sharply with the decline of wages
paid per hour's work, which average
only 1.2 per cent less than a year ago.
The year has been especially note
worthy for the lowest prices of wheat
and cotton on record. 'Both suffer
from whplly unprecedented accumu
lation of stocks, the crops being
large. Outside this country wheat
production has not increased enough
to justify a price of 60 cents at New
York, and the accumulation is largely
due to false reports of yield intended
to frighten buyers and raise prices.
The same influence has been felt in
co'fin, which is also affected by
world-wide depression in business
and decrease in consumption of goods.
In other produce markets the year
has been relatively less important
HORSETHIE VES LYNCHED.
Throe Men Banged and Their Bodies
Riddled With Bullet.
Wichita. Kan., Jan. 7. News
reaches here from Kingfisher, Ok., of
a wholesale hanging of thieves in the
Cheyenne and Arapahoe country.
The settlers there have ever since
the opening been the victims of ma
rauding bands of horse and cattle
thieves, and finding the authorities
too slow in bringing the offenders to
justice, several vigilance committees
were organized in different
parts of the country to take
the law in their own hands.
The vigilants a few days ago started
I on the trail of one band, followed it
into the Panhandle of Texas, back
into the Cheyenne country, overtak
ing it near Cantonment Here a bat
tle followed, resulting in the wound
ing of George Gaskell and Simeon
Campbell, two of the vigilants, and
the capture of three of the thieves.
The latter were hanged without de
lay. Their bodies were shot to
pieces and left hanging as a warning
to their kind.

KANSAS POLITICS.
thm Speakership Contest la on In Baal
Earnest Lobdell la the Load.
Topeka, Kan., Jan. 7. Last night
Representative John Seaton of Atchi-J
ion, got the opposition candidates for
ipeaker together and after a long)
conference it was decided that 8. S.
Benedict J- B. Remington and Alex-j
snder Warner should withdraw, leav-l
lug J. K. Cubbison and W. B. Sutton
In the field to oppose C. E. LobdelL!
Several attempts were made te com
bine all the opposition forces in acau-l
cus, but Lobdell had secured pledges;
from so many to him as their second,
choice that the plan would not work,'
and nothing was left but to make the)
fight in the party caucus. Sutton is!
expected to hold the Sixth district
members in line and, if he sees h
can't win, he will throw his support'
to Cubbison, taking the speakership'
pro tempore for himself. j
The result of the speakership con-;
test will have no bearing whatever
on the senatorial contest What little,
interest was manifested by the sena-j
torial candidates a week ago soon dis
appeared, and if Lobdell succeeds it
will not be because of locality, but
because of his tremendous energy and
hard work, commencing the day after
the November election. lie had
secured a positive following and form)
ed an organization weeks before the
other candidates began operations
and thus had gained a good start
when the campaign opened in
Topeka. m
There is talk of a peace conference
of Lobdell, Cubbison and Sutton and
their friends to bring about a settle-'
mentof the speakership in advance of.
the party caucus. This proposition,
is opposed by Seaton, Benedict and'
other Cubbison men, and there is little'
likelihood of a settlement outside of
the caucus, which it is understood
will be held Monday forenoon.
Action on the senatorial contest in
a large measure has been suspended'
until the settlement of the house
organization, although there is no
diminution of interest Neither
candidate has gained any accessions
Tor a day or two, and it is admitted
by politicians that not so many mem-
Ders nave Deen pledged as bad been
reported. The members are going
into caucus cautiously some because
they want to "pick the winners," and
others because they feel the growth
of the Ingalls sentiment and do not
want to committ themselves against
BLAND RED HOT.
The Silver Champion Declares the Cur
rency Bill la a Prand.
Washington, Jan. 7. The only bus
iness done by the house in the morn
ing hour was concurrence in the sen
ate amendments to a bill for the re
lief of Limri Elliott of Kansas and a
resolution to pay the funeral expenses
of Colonel William T. Fitch, for twenty-one
years doorkeeper in the house,'
who died Christmas day.
The debate on the currency bill
was resumed by Mr. Boatner of Lou
isiana, who expressed surprise at the
opposition to the measure which had
developed on the Democratic side.
lie paid attribute to the abilities of
Secretary Carlisle and dwelt upon
the dutv of sunnnr finer him. nrhinh
he said rested upon Democrats.
Mr. Bland asked him several ques
tions io snow mat tne administra
tion had adopted a sold aolicv and
finally declared that the national
platform was a fraud if there was no
intention to carry it out, asserting
that the platform should mean some
thing. J
Mr. Boatner asked if Mr. Bland
had - not been a supporter of
President Cleveland in the last
campaign, whereupon Mr. Bland res
ponded that he had supported the
platform and had voted for the can
didate and that the party had crone
down in ignominous defeat for its
treachery and fraud. ,

eloquent appeal for the bilL
SATOLLI'S POWERS.
An Eneyclleal Which Gives Him Almost
Plenary Authority.
Rome, Jan. 7. The expected ency
elical from Pope Leo, addressed to
the archbishops of the United States,
Is now ready and will be transmitted
through the usual channels in a few
days. It treats principally with the
authority and powers of the apostolio
delegate, Mgr. Satolli, who is con
firmed and strengthened in his posi
tion. The letter is certain to cause a
profound sensation in ecclesiastical
circles in the United States.
In the encyclical Pope Leo confirms
the friendly disposition previously
manifested toward a republican form
of government demonstrating anew
that the church is Tree to accept ana
Bhow sympathy with popular institu
tions not inherently hostile to Chris
tian principles. In detail the en
cyclical enlarges to the fullest extent
the power and jurisdiction of the
apostolic delegate, thus conlerrlng on
Mgr. Satolli almost plenary authority.
All matters of local and internal con
troversy affecting the church in the
United States shall no longer be
under the jurisdiction of the courts
of the propaganda, but will be heard
and disposed of in the delegate's tri
bunal, which becomes, in fact an
American ecclesiastical court This
is a further and most important
recognition of home rule in the
church, and will go far to do away
with the jealousy of Rome and Roman
influence which has hitherto prevailed
in certain quarters within and with
out the church.
The encyclical, in language and
spirit, breathes an ardent, affection
for the people and institutions of the
United States.
Confinement Telllne; on Him.
