There were 9,299 mercantile failures in the United States during the past nine months as j reported to Bradstreet s, odIv forty- ; eight more than in the like period of , last year, which coincidence is paral- ! leled by the total amounts of assets : and liabilities of failing traders this year being substantially the same as m the like period one year ago. Ihe feature of the failure record for the nine months lies in the the relatively large number reported in first quarter of the year, since which the totals have fallen off from ( week to week very sharply. Business failures in New England have de- 1 creased notably as compared with a j year ago, while those at the south have increased about as much. There are more failures reported from western states this year than last, while in the northwest and on the Pacific coast there are fewer. DIRECTORS INDICTED.

Haas, traffic manager of the Southern Railway, has resigned from bis position. It is supposed that the reason which lead to the resigna tion was that Mr. Haas was deprived of a large part of his jurisdiction when Mr. W. W. Finley, who was commis sioner of the Southern States Passen ger Association, was elected third vice president of the Southern Railway, Mr. Finley was given charge of the traffic service which Mr. Haas has had under his control.

An Insulting J-etter to the “Acting Secretary of War.” Major Armes was arrested at Wash ington Friday and confined in the bar racks. The fil'der for bis arrest w>'.s signed by Assistaut Adjutant General Vincent, “by order of the acting seo retary of war.” Lieutenant General John M. Schofield was the acting sec retary of war. Merely as command ing officer of the army he would not have authority to order the arrest. There has been a personal quarrel of twenty-five years’ standing between Genera! Schofield and Major Armes. General Schofield retires on Sunday, the 29th, aud Friday was the last but one on which he could exercise any authority whatever over Major Armes. Smarting under injustice which, as he professes to be the victim, General Schofield had done him, Major Armes visited the war department during the day unaware of the fact that General Schofield was acting secretary of war, and requested an interview with Gen eral Schofield, which was refused. He then sent a letter to General Schofield reading in part as follows: “General John M. Schofield,United States Army—-Sir: Before you are re tired from active duty I thought I would call your attention to the in j’astice, wrongs and persecutions you lave inflicted upon me during the years 1808-70 aud up to the present time. As to my knowledge, I have given you no cause. I would like to have an explanation as to your grounds for making my life a hell and trying to ruin me in the you have. “The indorsement upon the charges I preferred against Lieutenant Colonel A. D. Nelson in 1870, denouncing me : as a worthless character, etc., was the first attack upon me. In addition to | ignoring and failing to investigate The serious Charges winch 1 then submitted, ; because I considered it my duty to do ‘ “>’ the next wrong was to fclect a few characters from the army, called m a > eourt and apP rove .°f the lr s ': llten< ? e ot dismissal, * you, " vJ as judge, , having select . ®d , the ,, , lou sustained p Go i., onel i jury, n no ! “ Graham e ^ oa to 111 trial, , not and bringing atter I was Captain dis , d for these charges Colonel Nel ■ , , ,, , , J’ Id 1 v „ t i j bu PP*y» L F -Nel.on, to save himsel , recommended Graham s trial upon the 1 cha that j had HU bmitted long be T"ciffirad . j was not onl v cashiered, but but sentenced sentenced 1 penitentiary - for term of .X a years. j anotHer pr court to tobe be seleeted selected and and tried tried ! to and disgrace Yon also I rul11 me. is on ami T nnlilicligrl ^ . ’ j a Person whose sanity . was questioned, , but after the mischief was done you without any request „nonmv upon my part part that that von you should should do s0 - “Lately, I am informed, yon have Bfccured * the marks t to allidavits q ot f a . « ew , read and write, negroes who cannot ^ telli lot of falsehoods and .tuff that ,*o with those who would be influenced by what you say or do on account of your position. always conlnXl 4 CeU uentleman and have n. .nch I mv J «c„ld. duty as a military pto^.nd man, as the t„e will en y charges that are on file tending to re fleet discredit upon me are instigated by personal enmity or unfounded ma &re unworthy of belief.

Major Armes was sitting in his par lor after dinner when Lieutenant Com ings, accompanied by Second Lieu tenant Gordon Heiner, appeared in the doorway with a file of soldiers and read the order of arrest. Major Armes attempted to resist arrest, but finally requested a few minutes to prepare himself, and then accompanied the officers to the arsenal in an ambu¬ lance which had been provided. Speaking of the matter to a reporter, General Schofield said: “Unfortunately, it happened I was acting secretary of war yesterday. The commanding general of the army has no authority over retired officers, and if Secretary Lamont had been here I should have simply sent the papers up to him for him to take such action as he might deem proper and necessary. As it was, there was nothing for me to do but to take immediate action, and I ordered Captain ^irmes’ arrest and confinement in the guardhouse. As soon as the secretary returns I shall turn the prisoner and the case over to him, end shall have nothing more to do with it.” Who partakes in another’s joys is a non humane character than he who partakes in his griefs. SYMPATHY FOR CUBA. Monster Mass Meetings Held at CM eago aud Resolutions Adopted. Surrounded by patriotio mottoes, with the American flag as a back ground, the declaration of independ t-nee as a texibonk and the spirit of yelled* liberty as inspiration, 4,000 persons themselves bourse at Chicago Monday night in the cause of Cuban independence. There could scarcely have been more enthusiasm had the meeting been held in Cuba it self. Central Music hall was not big enough to hold all the sympathizers and there was an over flow meeting iu the auditorium of the Young Men’s Christian Association building. At both meetings the same resolutions were adopted and speeches were made by men prominent in civic affairs, all of whom uncompromisingly favored the freedom of the lit!!e island in the thraldom of Spain. The resolutions express sympathy for the revolutionists, call on the United States to recognize them as belliger ents and ask other countries to join in making this demand, They begiu with the best known paragraph in the declaration of independence and end w'ith a determination to continue the work thus auspiciously begun. THEIR DOORS OPENED To Union Men, but They Will Not Sign the Amalgamated Scale. The mill of the Gliver Iron and Steel Company at Pittsburg, Fa., is declared open to union men. This action, which is satisfactory, to the company and the men, has been taken by the Amalga mate( j Association lodge at that mill. When D. B. Oliver refused to recog nize the Amalgamated Association or to sign its scale a strike was declared, The mill hns been successfully operat however, and without union rules, During the past year a lodge, was formed in the mill without objection from t b e company. Many urgent re qne sts have been made to the national officers to declare the mill open so that union men could go to work. Union wa^es Tch have been paid by the company wh has not, and likely will not, B ]\j |g n the amalgamated wage scale, any former employes will now re turn ; but no skilled worker will be re moved to make place for the men who have been on a strike for two years.
