FAIRS,' HOWEVER, DROWNED] 1 HIM. I i '. sIjONDON, June 8. ? The markets wero not affected by the downfall of Mri Hooley, who petitioned for bank- > ruptcy, as the news ot tho receiving ? order, while It caused a sensation was cot unexpected In the best quarters. The last attempt to float Hooley bills was a failure, although ten per cent iwaa offered! but It is believed there is ' considerable of his paper In existence. | It wilt be the second and third, class Institutions which will suffer by his I failure. The shares with which Mr. Hooley was connected slumped latterly, ' but the London market did' not take much share In the gamble. !"% tins been well known that Mr. Hoo liy has been unable to llnd money for tho big Chinese loan which ho proposed to float some time ago, and there was much talk a year apo when the au thorities ot St. Paul's Cathedral ac cepted from Mr. lloolcy a magnificent * gold communion service. , , "Within the last month Mr. Hooley leased the big building at the corner of ? Pall Mnll and Resent street, for merly the Belvldere Club, to be used as offices. ?. To-day's petition in bankruptcy was - made by Mr. Hooley himself, who de scribes himself "of Berkeley Square. London, Rlslcy Hall, near Derby and 'Pipshlre hall, Cambridgeshire. "it Is-said that actions aggregating $2 ,000,000 are now pending against Mr. , Hooley. and that one fot"52C5,000, which ?was set for.to-morrowi precipitated the . crisis. - ? K Counsel for Mr. Hooley, in the course of the application tor the order, In formed the registrar that, a perfect .run : had'been made on Mr. Hooley, who, in ? order to protect the general body of afcls.credltors, and to prevent his assets, ? which, were vc. j large, from being sac Vrlflced by a hurried realization, had ^ adopted the-course of applying or a re ;-'celvlKB order. This, counsel explained, was done only after most enormous sacrifices had been made upon Mr. Hoo ley's part. Counsel for the petitioner ^further said he was not prepared to say-whether any scheme of settlement ' had been propounded, and he asserted ' that Mr. Hooley had not personally reaped the benefits ot large profits re sulting from his.promotions. Mr. Hoo :. ley, counsel said, had been "victimized to an extent which will be a revelation to the public." Mr. Hooley was formally adjudged a bankrupt. It Is lmposlble. at present, to make any correct estimate of the lia bilities of Mr. Hooley. but there is no doubt they are very large. Among the more recent projects at tempted by Mr. Ilooley was the float i lng.of a Spanish loan. The-capltals ot the companies pro moted by the bankrupt aggregate from $60,000,000 to $65,000,000. and the shares in these concerns, taken as a whole, ?r/have:,depreciated over forty per cejit. since their, flotation. -Mr. Hooley reached the pinnacle of J prominence In 1SS6 when he promoted the Dunlop Tire Company, and was supposed to have cleared 512,1.00,000 by that deal alone. He has since beer, connected with the promotion ot the Bovril compans', and with many bicycle companies. It is understood that not any of the latter was profltable to the stockholders. , In.the meanwhile, however, Mr. Hoo ley lived a sort of Monte Crlsto exist ence, bought yachts and race horses and nuemrous historic country seats. In January of the present year Mr. Hooley purchased the racing cutter ' Britannia, formerly the property ot the Pripce ot Wales, from John Lawson ; Johnstone. During 1S56 he purchased "?he schooner-yacht, Verena, from the Earl ot Lonsdale. Mr. Hooley is o mem ber of a number of yacht clubs. For months past financiers have pre dicted, that Mr. Hooley was in deep water. SPANISH METHODS' To Shut Out Competition In Manila. Experience- of Americans. Joseph Earle Stevens In New York Post: Besides the Eugar and the hemp ?which have gone to Boston, to New York, and to tho "Breakwater" from Manila, Bo, Ho, and Ccbu, there comes the tobacco which has often found its way to American firms who deemed It profltable to mix the Philippine vari ety with that coming from the West Indies. Very tew of the smoking public realize how excellent that variety is, for the cheap cheroots long bought and smoked by the sailors on American ves sela have always been the standard by whlch Manila tobacco has been judged? much to Its discredit?and no one seems to have taken the pains to flnd out that cigars of a better quaHty exist. Manila's best cigar?made ot especial ly selected tobacco, wrapped, in the neatest of silver foil, and packed In low rosewood boxes tied with,Spanish rib bon?cods but live cents ana.Is consid ered a rare delicacy. One scarcely over Bees these clgara-the "Incomparable!/' ?outside of the city Itself, and tlie brand Is so choice that few smokers ure acquainted with It. The foreigner at Manila thinks he Is paying dear Cor his weed, at ?:o per thousand, and some of the most-professional smokers limit themselves to Ihe bouquets, which cor . respond to our "two for a quarter," but ' 'sdl'"for 11.30 a hundred. Bslow thest upper trades come a various assort ment ot cheaper varieties, Including tho cheroots, big at one end anil small at the other, and the, thrce-dollar-a-thou ?and cigars, wMch are made of the first thing that comes handy, and are regu larly sold to the crews of deetmuter merchantmen. The native of the Philippines wants his cigarette, and gets It. Packages ot thirty are sold on almost every corner tor n couple of coppers, and to my mind the Manila clgarctte Is far.superior to the variety found lo Cuba. Smoking is, of course, encouraged by prices rucn . as these, and one finds It perfectly good form to '^borrow" a cigarette as well as a light from his neighbor In the tram car or on tht plaza.

No sooner had the two onglneers frorri Now York, who had come out to'put1* the machine together, started opera tions t'han there was put under their door at the hotel an anonymous com munication, reading: "You are advised to do no more work on the machine, but learve town at once." In a state of curious trepidation* they came to our of-, flee, where we Increased their fears by relating: to them, the incident of the two missionaries w ho, some years ago, came to Manila to beach Protestantism to the natives. It seems that they had but begun their labors when under the door of their room at th? hotel one night', was thrust the message: "You are warned to discontinue your teachings and leave the city." Paying no attention to the communi cation, the missionaries went on- with their work until a second paper was pushed under the door: "You alone will be responsible for the results of not net ding this and- the previous warning. Leave Manila by the next steamer." Still tbe missionaries worked on, giving r.'o heed to What they thought were, empty threats. For the third and last time the anonymous letter was pushed Into tlelr rom, reading: "You are.ad vis< d for the lfist time to leave the cap ital by to-morrow's steamer."

In com pany with Col. C. E. Creccy, he recently ln!d before the government a plan which may bring the Spanish, squadron to terms on short order. ' Mr. Holland recently said to a re porter of this paper: ?The suggestion is entirely practi cable, and if the navy department will furnish mo with the proper transporta tion on! ammunition,'I will agreo to take the boat Into Santiago harbor and i sink the entire Spanish,fleet. It enn be I I done, and I api ready and willing to: prove It' I have'a volunteer craw ready to go with ino and show that we can accomplish a feat which no other engine I of war la capable of performing. "Oqco Inside the harbor our craft could stcaj up to the fleet and attack It without warning. .... The Holland could go und/jr a warship and dlschargo a dy namite tube on tbo approach,, and, j keeping on Its way, send a parting ahot I from its stern tube.
