LONDON, July 15.— The Madrid co- respondent of the Daily Telegraph says: J "The government has definitely Ac- I cided to open peace negotiations with out delay, proposing as a basis the ! renunciation of all rights over Cuba | and the immediate discussion of any ' other 'reasonable proposals' the United ; States may make. "The reports that an armed Carlist band has made its appearance in the neighborhood of Leon are unfounded. Neither in that district nor in the ' province of Catalonia has public drs- i satisfaction culminated in any violent ! or lawless acts. It is rumored here that ! the government intends, among other pacificatory plans, to appoint Lieut. Gen. Weyler as captain general of j Catalonia. Although I have not spoken ' to on the subject I feel convinced j that und-r present conditions he would j •not feel justified in accepting the posi-- ! tion." The Madrid correspondent of the Daily Mail says: "Despite the official denials it is strongly suspected that preliminary negotiations for peace are already un dor way in the shape of indirect in quiries regarding the terms of Amer. lea which Spain might accept. It is asserted that M. Cambon, the French ambassador at Washiest on, and Sir Henry Drummnnd-Wolfe, British am bassa-dor at Madrid, are acting respec tively on behalf of Spain and America | in the conduct of inquires w£ieh at i present are quite informal. Probably j the news of a termination of hostili- I ties will not be published until the con ditions are arranged. No suspension of arms will precede the negotiations."

CHICAGO, July .15.— The 'feature of tno annual meeting of the Illinois Bar association, now in session in this city wa« the address of former Vice Pres'i dont Adlai E. Stevenson. His sub ject, "France, as a was par ticularly appropriate to the great iMench event, today, the anniversary of the fall of the Bastile. The address was scholarly and technical, rather than oratorical in its effect, and mas terful for it was largely collected by Mr. btevenson during his service as a member of the monetary commission sppointed by President McKinley on wmoh he was associated with Senator Edward O. Wolcott, of Colorado and Gen. Charles J. Payne. Mr. Stevenson took the French revolution as his start iniv point. "Since then;" said "France has had thirteen constitutions.

The difficulty has been to frame a government that would stand along with the monarchies Of Europe. That seems to have been rartially attained in the present con stitution, which makes the president of the -French republic its head indeed surrounded it is true with some of the attributes of royalty, but wfth none of royalty's power, it is unlike the presidency of the United States In that (he -executive has no veto power ana is to some extent outside the influence of party politicians. The legislative power is pat-amount and in its form resembles the powers of the English pnrfiamefft." Asked for an expression of his views • upon the subject of territorial expan sion Mr. Stevenson said: "Tt T/ould seem that the policy of ! expansion is being forced upon the people of the United States and that ; we shall be compelled to adopt it It is a very difficult problem that is pre sented to the nation. Hawaii has be- come a -part of our government by the consent of her people, and in aceord arce with the -wishes of the 'people o't this country.

MEW YORK, Ju!y 15.— R. G. Dun fc Co.'s wwefcjy review of trade -will say in tomorrow's Issue: The destruction of a Spanish fleet, Kurope's quick appreciation of the feat, the weaj-ying Jia.gs of truce at Sanlia^j, and at last the surrender, have all in fluenced some markets day by day. But Americans have grown and trad ers see that not many outside matters greatly influence the business which •enables th.-m to market $1,210,274,015 worth of domestic products abroad in a year; against $G1C,052,8*4 worth Im pmtbed. The new loan has proved a stupendous success, over $1,300,(W0,0'>0 having been s-üb.-cribed, and It now is the chief subject of interest whether any banks will get enough after per sonal subscribers have been accepted to support further circulation. Industries and business are at the naturally lowest point for the year, and therefore the records are the more impressive. The decrease in the out put of pig iron from 225,378 tons week ly Jiane 1 to 216,811 July 1, mostly due to nsual stoppages lor repairs a little before July 1, carries with It a decreasa of 4,216 tons weekly in unsold stocks. If the first and last of the month rep resented average production, the quan tity consumed in manufacture will be 3.8 per cent less than the highest ever attained in May, a small decrea.se for midsummer, but, In fact, the average production was larger and decrease in consumption was smaller. Just when stagnation is customary, very many mills are crowded with orders for months, the Illinois rail mills until De cember or later, with sales this week of 15,000 tons and structural works with a few con-tracts for 10,000 tons or more, while larger demands appear for bars, plates and Sheets, and better demands for bars at the east. One heavy sale of billets from Pitteburg to Eastern "Pennsylvania, at a concession of -fifty cents, is the only real decline In quotations, though Eastern steel bars are a shade lower. It is still between seasons for wool, but a .few laige -purchases indicate some disposition for business., and the de mand for woolen goods Is better, though prices for some "have been reduced, and the competition as to serges seems l:k<; --:ly to be -excessive. Sales of wool were but 7,te1;700 pounds, 5,521,200 being domestic, for two weeks in July. against 24,573,800 pounds last year, of which H. 965,600 were domestic. One sale of 1,500,000 pounds territory at prices lower than are being paid by Boston parties in Montana looks like for the future. Cotton has been steady in spite of -good crop prospects, owing to larger foreign buying. mills in this coun try are doing their share and the de mand for goods is gradually growing .better. Failures for the week ending July 7 were $1.854,394 ' in amount, $946,611 man ufacturing and $-899,763 trading. Failures for the week have been 215 in the United States against 263 last year, and .in Canada 23 against 27 last year. MmSMH.VLIOR MAHKF/I\S. Quiet Prevails Pending Initiation ■of -Fall lln.sin.-ss. NEW YORK. July 15.— Bradstreet's tomor row will say: Pending the initiation Of -new fall business, preparations for which arc actively under way in all markets, there exists a quiet mid summer condition, accompanied, however, in most cases, by price steadiness and confi dence in a promising outlook for fall trade. Retrospection ana review continue to furnish many aatisfactory illustrations of th« favor able conditions experienced during the Urst half of the present year, some of which seem bound to be duplicated during the sec ond half. While there seems little Teason to expect an excited foreign buying, which oc curred last season, the world's wheat cropß all pointing to exceptionally large if not record-breaking yields, still the situation of carrled-over supplies, visible and invisible, ■is such as to lead to confidence in a good general demand for most of thJs -country's surplus, though the outlook favors a con siderable shading of prices obtained from such products. There is a lltt'.e more .hopeful feeling in {he Iron and steel trade, the result partly of reaupett putput and stocks of pig, -ana partly owing to Targe business reported offer ing, particularly at the West, where same mills 'Will forego their usual -sufnmer shut downs and others wfil curtail the vacation period materially. More is doing in steel, and some Western mills are reported booked with orders until next winter. Some large ex port orders are reported from Chicago. Except for some drop In cereals, caused by the usual tendency to discount government crop reports and look for larger than Indi cated yields, the price situation is one of considerable steadiness. Contradictory re ports come as to the volume of exopft trade in wheat and corn at the decline, but a good business for this time of the year Is undoubtedly doing. The movement of npw ■wheat at the Southwest is also freer, though farmers at rather 'Independent at ' present prices. Trade continues of a midsummer dullness at the East, but more inquiry for raw wool is a feature, and prices are well maintained on a fairly large business for this time 61 year. The reduced output at Fall River has steadied prices of print c'.ot'hs. Woolen goods are still dull. Good cotton, sugar and rice crop, prospects give an undertone of strength to the Southern price situation which is, however, rather dull at present, except at New Orleans, -where fall orders are reported of good volume. Features of the trade movement at the west are the improved demand for iron and steel at Chicago.. Louisville and St. Louis report the fail trade outlook as good. Our cereal exports still continue in ex cess of corresponding periods of previous years, wheat and flour shipments aggregating 2,910,287 bushels, as against 2,728,G12 last week, and compared with 1,522.092 bushels fn this week a year Kgo; 2,9(53.949 bushes In 189 C; 1,683,827 bushels in 1595. and 1,898.-300 bushels In 1894.

At Its con clusion tfiere was marked weakness, d. sMits the chance, of a temporary peace, bnsed* c A the siinvnder of Santiago and the apparent Vtl.tngtuss of the Madrid government to ne gotiate. Before this point had bren ria.-hed howev. r, the market passed through sem-il cttaifeea ol speculative sentiment. In the be ginning of the vVeek it wa.3 strong on the be lief that Santiago would soon be taken but by Wednesday it experithrt'd a depression oh the reports of yellow fever outbreaks amVni the Ar.ieri.L-.in troops there. At the (am* tine there has boen a strong undertone, though tlio public has been inactive and London was, up to Friday, a considerable seller hero. .V-tlvitv in tho BTOC& li^t has also sufferrd from the siaviip ux, ard the prcfrssicnal element in the board rccm and oh the "street" have adopted bonds as a speculative vehicle, owing to the faoi, that transactions ;n tho fatter are not subjected to the stamp tax on sales.
