London, Aug. 1. Queen Victoria will
retire in favor of the princu of Wales
.is tho rumor which found considerable
crcdonca on the streets and in the clubs
Friday.
Such reports' have frequently ap
peared of recent years, only to bo seinl
ofilcially contradicted later. But it
QUECN VICTORIA.
(From ono of bor latest photographs
now becms that there may bo some
actual foundation for the statements
made. It is added that her majesty
has decided to spend her time
in future at Balmoral or at Os
borne, and that sho will give the
prince and princess of Wales the use
of Buckingham palace and Windor cas
tle. There is no doubt tho queen
seems to feel greatly the weight of her
years and her majesty is quoted as
having repeatedly remarked dur
ing her last stay in this city:
"This will bo ray last visit to London."
Color is given to the rumors in circu
lation by tho deep emotion displayed
by tho queen as she bowed in reply to
the enthusiastic cheers of multitudes
which lined the routo from Bucking
ham palace to tho railroad station,
where she took tho train for Windsor
after the marriage ceremonies.

BUSINESS.
R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Re
viow of Trade.
Conditions Are Better But .Business
Has Not Improved. ,
Hot Weather Itctanllng Things Gold
Imports Stopped anil all llarly anil
Largo Demand for American
l'roilucti In l'rosnect.
'Ni:w Yoiik, Aug. 1. It. G. Dun & Co.,
in their weekly review of trade! say:
Business conditions haVo clearly im
proved, though business hns not. It is
the torpid season and better prospects
havo little effect as yet. Oold exports
have been stopped and foreign advices
are more promising as respects an
early and largo demand for American
products. The operations of foreign
ers In the stock market havo reflected
little beyond the troubles of specula
tors at the 'London settlements and
varying degices of ignorance about
American affairs. The prospect for
largo crops of cotton and corn is still
excellent and neither movements of
wheat nor markets give rise to low
estimates.
Wheat is going out with more free
dom than is usual for the season and
Atlantic exports have been, 1,001, 111)
bushels, flour included, for tho week,
against 000,2-18 lust, year; and for four
weeks, 0,.-ill4,a(10 bushels, against 3,422,
!121 lust year. Lower rail rates helped
corn to make a now low record at 30.12
cents, and prospects are generally fa
vorable.
Cotton advanced a quarter on reports
of injury, but there are really few who
expect less than a large yield. Several
weeks of extremely slack demand for
cotton goods have brought a further
reduction in print cloths to 2.44 cents
instead of the advance expected in con
sequence of the stoppage of four
million spindles, but prints arc soiling
morn freely, whilo brown and bleached
goods are dull, except for export kinds.
The woolen mills do not gain, light
weights opening S to y3 per cent,
lower in price than last year, und sales
of wool now reported are less than a
quarter of a full week's consumption.
Orders taken in light weights have been
very few, and for low priced goods.
The boot and shoo industry has se
cured slight further advances
from the lowest point, in
brogans and calf boots and shoes, but
new orders are scanty, the more be
cause the permanence of advance Is
questioned. Leather is stubbornly held
without change in prices, and some
gradefa are really scarce, although man
ufacturers arc buying only for actual
needs, hut hides havo turned down
ward sharply at Chicago, declining
five per cent, for the week, with heavy
accumulations.
The iron industry is helped but littlo
by the settlement which gives pud
dlers of tho Ohio region 50 cents ad
vance in wages, bocanse the demand is
so light that few mills can run and tho
association price is J cent, while steel
bars are now being sold at less than
1,03 cents. A ray of encouragement
comes to rail milb, two considerable"
sales having been made, 23,000 to a
New England road nnd 10,000 by the
new Premier Steel company of Indian
apolis, but otherwise sales are small.
Trade in wire , nails has been
so light that even the tri
fling allotment of (15,000 kegs
for July is supposed to havo exceeded
sales, and the association is in session
at Boston to consider the matter. The
billet pool has been constantly under
sold by middlemen and open-hearth
steel men had a session Friday at
which reduction of prices was dis
cussed. Many contracts for structural
works are being held back, and there
is very littlo done in that line, and or
ders for plate and pipe are scarce. It
is not strange that pig is weak, Besse
mer being St 1.50 at Pittsburgh, and
southern somewhat lower at tho east.
The volume of domestic trade, judg
ing from exchanges, has been small
even for midsummer.
It is not surprising that failures have
been considerably in magnitude, and
in 23 days of 'July defaulted liabilities
were 812,0G0,4S1, against 83,302,727 in
25 days last year. Failures for tho
week havo been 2S1 in the United
States against 201 last year, and 40 in
Canada, against 28 last year.

Havana, Aug. 1. Further advices
of a private character have reached
here from Santiago do Cuba of tho re-,
cent engagement between a Spanish
force, under command of Col. Segura,

ing to the government report tho
troops won a victory after indicting
heavy losses upon tho rebels, them
selves escaping with slight losses. Tho
details of the Migagcmcnt are being
suppressed by tho government, but ad
vices from other sources show that the
rebels were not defeated, and that a
largq number of tho troops wore killed
or wounded.

DISASTROUS TIDAL VAVE.
Clilim Suiters From u Visitation .Similar
' to That nt Jiipnn.
Shanghai, Aug. 1. The recent dis
astrous tidal wave along the coast of
northern Japan has been paralleled
by a similar phenomenon on tho coast
of Ilalchua, northeast of the province
of IClangsu, in which Shanghai is situ
ated. The news of the disaster did not
reach here before Saturday owing to
the lack of facilities for communica
tion with the part of the country dev
astetl. There suddenly appeared in
the Yellow sua a huge bank of water
that was seen rushing shoreward
with terrific velocity. The water
on the coast was shallow, and when
the wave was some distance away it
began to comb and the roar could bo
heard for a distance. From the stories
of eyewitnesses tho wave was five
miles wide. Thousands of tons of
water were thrown for miles inland,
and everything in its path was swept
away. Many villages were entirely
destroyed, and it is estimated that
fully 4,000 people perished. All the
cattle were drowned and the rite fields
were obliterated. It is expected that
survivors will meet with a worse fate
than by drowning, for with the de
struction of'tho rice fields, famine will
stare them in the face in the autumn.
In many cases, whole families were
lost. There is already much suffering
among the survivors, who, miserably
poor before the disaster, are now abso
lutely homeless and fecdless. It is
feared that later details will add to the
number of lives lost and the extent of
damage done.
Killed by Lightning.
Atlanta, (la., Aug. 1. A special to
the Constitution from Orchard Hill,
near Orillln, says that Ucorgo Taylor
and James Whntley were killed Friday
afternoon by lightning. Five others
were seriously injured. The 13th
(Jeorgia regiment of confederate veter
ans was holding a reunion in a grove
of trees. Hundreds of the people from
the vicinity and neighboring cities
were present. At 2 o'clock a storm was
seen approaching and most of the peo
ple hurried away to seek shelter. Some
ran under trees when rain began to
fall. Tho storm came on w ith the vio
lence of a cyclone. The lightning
was terrific and the rain fell in a flood.
A tree was struck by lightning and tho
men mentioned above were instantly
killed. The injured arc recovering.

From the Scene of Thursday's
Railroad Disaster.
List of Dead Number Fifty and In
jured Fully Sixty.
Slckonlnc Scenes nt tlin Alorgun and
Hospitals When tho Ucnd mill Dy-
lilK Are Drought In Keponl-
lilllly Not Vet rixctl.
Atlantic City, N. ,1., Aug. I. As a
result of the terrible collision on the
Meadows Thursday evening between
tho Reading railroad express from
Philadelphia and the llridgeton excur
sion tiain out of here, 47 people arc
dead and 4t aio lying in the hospital
here more or less seriously hurt. Of the
in juicd in the hospital several arc ex
pected to die.
Besides those .seriously enough hurt
to be in the hospital, a t-eore or more
of people vvere bruised and shaken up
and went to cottages. The fearful
shock of the collision is illustrated in
the fact that of the 17 dead 42 were
killed outright. Of the dead, 42 have
been identified and tho bodies of threa
women, oue man and a boy are lying
at the undei taking shops awaiting
claimants.
The responsibility for the accident is
hard to place at this time, but the bur
den of it seems to rest upon the dead
engineer of the Heading train, Edward
Farr, though an official investigation,
may clear his name.
The uninjured and those only slight
ly hurt among tho Uridgcton excursion
party were in a fren?y of agony. Tho
train struck was the first section of the
excursion train, and those on the sec
ond section flocked to the hospital and
morgue as tho victims were, brought in.
Two miles out on the Meadows tho
wrecking crews of the Heading and
West Jersey railroads were toiling by
tho light of huge bonfires to clear
away the wreck and splinters
of broken cars. ISy dawn they
had practically cleared up tho
tracks. firoken and battered
out of shape, tho huge engino of the
express lay on its side by the track.
Pinned beneath, with his pale, blood
stained face staring into those of tho
men working was Farr, tho engineer.
The scenes as the bodies were iden
tified were sad and pathetic beyond
words.
Houscr, tho operator in tho signal
tower, certainly set danger signals for
tho Heading train when ho gave the
excursion the right of way. The ques
tion is, did he set the. signal in time for
Engineer Farr to see it? Or did he be
come excited when he saw a collision
imminent apd, sjt it too late for Farr to
sfbp his train? Farr was an experienced
engineer and it seems incredible that
he would rush past a danger signal
down to a crossing that was being ap
proached by n train he could clearly
see.
Further, tho Reading has the right
of way at the crossing over Pennsyl
vania trains, and still further, an ex
press has the right of way before an
excursion special Still, in view of tho
statement of Engineer Orelner, of tho
excursion train, who was interviewed
in Camden Friday, and the position of
tho signal arms, Hie burden of the re
sponsibility nt present rests with tbo
dead engineer.
