Gay Glenn Springs end Its-Ecjoy able Dances. With Glenns so near and the Gteuu Springs Baiiroud ito make it still nearer, Spartanburg society surfers from no dearth of amusement io sommer time. Io fact, cot like most places, sommer is Spartaaburg's gayest social ssasoo, for, while u\\ social faactioos are sos peaded there, everybMy taro3 ;o G leaos for entertainment Since ?be Glenn's Springs Railroad fca? been constructed, ibis gre.?.r.-t Mad most popular of watt-rm* peaces is ? ell pHtroni2?d or Spar taabu^grrt who une ?reit delight in p^rtici pating io all of i?s game-, chief ol which" to thea., however, is the wetkly Thursday eight german, au affur :c which the dancing set of cpartanburg has ev.-r played a promi? nent part.

A3? this has much to do wi h making Glenn's the gayest resort io the south, by in? ferencing young people to summer there, for sommer girls and summer mea will go where a good time is to be bad. Bigot now there are more people at the hotel tbaa ever before at this time of the year ?od *98 will be tbe baoaer year io Glenn's . history.

THE WORLD OF B?SI NESS. New York, Joiy 22.-R. G. Dan & Cu io ib?rir Weekly Review of Trade will say to morrow : A state of war does not disturb business, but reaction after a phenomenal movement; cf grain causes relative ioss, which many mis? take for decrease io the volume of trade So mach grain has been re? quired and shipped during the past twelve months that sdecrease was inev? itable, and Grangers and Pacifie roads show a logs ic earniogs even compared with 1892, though cot much yet com? pared with last year. After the surrender at Santiago bare ley a week of rest preceded the sailing of the Porto Rico force, bat mean? while the President's proclamation opening Santiago to trade on terms singularly favorable to the inhabitants there and the rush to build up business to Eastern Cuba, are ocoupyiog the thoughts of maoy s n ter pristo g firms. Redaction of one half io the tax here? tofore paid, with hooest instead of Spanish administration, brings home to Cuban residents the meaoiog of the change, and [they also learn to use money of which a paper dollar is aa good as gold, which for them is a loog step forword Io the stagnant midsummer season, with business larger than ever before, the great manufacturers nearly all sbare the gain. (Dace before in 1895, with ar extraordinarily small move? ment prior to July the shipments in three weeks of July have been as large. Print cloth works at Fall River have io part combined to curtail production, half the spindles of that city being idle for a month, but in other branches of the conon goods trade no such mea? sures appear necessary. There is an iocreased demand for woolen goods, although io some lines &low and disap? pointing, but the number of establish? ments ai work increase?, though the mills are not yee assured of satisfactory pric=s The iron manufacture seems to be at the verge of* another revolution, since Bessemer pig is beid by curtailment of production in the Shenaogo and Ma booing valleys at ?10 25 at Pittsburg, and.yet some steel works have made enormous sales of billets. The demand f^r structural forms keeps ali the works busy. While the plate milis are every? where crowded, sheets and bars are in better demand than heretofore, aod the prolooged weakness io cast pipe, which usually requires Dearly 700.000 toes of pig io a year, may presently be cured. With abatemeot cf foreigo Deeds and prospects of excelleot crops io maoy foreigo countries, wheat has declioed daring the week 3 cents io price, oot witbstandiog exports from Atlaotic ports amouuting to 1.937,092 bushels, flour included, agaiost 1,516.997 hs: year and from Pacific ports 577,755 against 89,523 last year. Total exporta for three weeks have beeD 7,399.259 bushels, flour included, against 5,194, 488 laet year. Corn still goes abroad io astonishing quantities, ail the cir? cumstances considered, exports having been ia three weeks 5,077,847 bushels, against 6,635,395 last year. The price has not changed in spite of the decline ip. wheat. The closing of some New England mills bas doubtless aff ?ct ed the price of cotton to some extent, and yet the crop reports are sufiieieotly favorable to depress prices an eighth during the week without other infla ence. The collapse of a strong pool to advance prices and control the market is also reported Failures for the week have been 207 io the Uoited States, against 227 last year, and 17 io Canada, agaiust 2S last year.

FROM AN ENGLISH EX? PERT.* London. July 20.-Sir' George Sy? denham Clarke, the expert on naval tactics and imperial defenses, writes to the Daily Graphic today strongly ap? proving American annexation of Ha? waii and Porto Rico. The letter was evoked by ao article in the Daily Graphic today strongly approving American annexation of Ha? waii and Porto Rice The letter was evoked by an article in tho Daily Graphic calling atten'ion to the reversa! of England's traditional j policy to prevent the United States from ! acquiring strategical positions in the Atlantic and thc Pacific, enabling it to control the possible canal. The Daily Graphic, in an editorial this morning, *aid it agrees with Sir George Sydenham Clarke, but is cu? rious to know "what induced Lord Sal? isbury to adopt an attitude which has so much facilitated the success of the Uoited States."

Washington, July 26 -Spain has sued for peace formally aDd directly to President McKinley through M. Cam? br?n, the French ambassador. The fol? lowing statement is made : "The French ambassador, on behalf of the government of Spain, and by direction of the Spanish minister of foreign affairs, has presented to the President this afternoon at the White House a message from the Spanish government looking to the termination of thc war and the settlement of terms of peace." Spain's communication presented by Ambassador Cambr?n is general in terms, and does not make any distinct propositions as to Cuba, the Philippines or any other possession. It is simply a request that peace negotiations be opened. No armistice is proposed. After Ambassador Cambr?n submitted the proposal a general talk followed between him, the President, Secretary Day and M. Thiebaut. The President received his answer, an understanding being reached that he would at once lay the subject before i the cabinet and then invite M.

Horace Porter, United States ambassador at Paris, and Senor Lsuon Castillo, Span? ish ambassador at Paris, carry for- j j ward the negotiations from the point j arrived at by thc President and ambas- ! sador Cambr?n.
