Henry Clews’ Weekly Financial Review is- sued today says: The stock market is flooded with “mys teries," and rumors of gigantic railroad deals upon an unprecedented scale as being either in progress or already accomplished. Judgment passes for little in estimating the future value of many securities, for the mar- ket is almost wholly under the control of comparatively few persons, whose operations must inevitabiy influence the vaine of thousands of millions of stock# and bonds. Such « state of affairs eannot be considered satisfactory, becanse not only is speculation likely to be unhealthily stimulated, but the future of these combmations gives birth toe variety of uncertainties which, while they may elevate prices, will certainly add to their stability. Although stocks aro in strong hands the pub- lic, whose operations are neceseary to a healthy bull marke:, have not yet taken vigorous hold, and the cliques responsible ior recent advances have been encumbered with millions of stocks sold by forcigners which they never calculated upon. ig -_—_—— Washington Stock Exchange.

Health Officer Hammett today sent a lette: tothe Commissiouers in which be says: “I observe in the eppropriation bill for the sup- port of the District during the next fiscal year that the amount allowed for the conduct of the scariet fever and diphtheria service, which duty 18 impored upon the health department, has been reduced by the committee on approprintions of Congress to $1,500. This must have been done through mistake or upon represcntation of some per- Son or persons not conversant with the work. Tho reduction, if madc, 28 contemplated in the report of the committee, will virtually abolish the service.” ‘The letter further says: “Sufficient time has not elapsed from which comparisons can be mide as to tho effectiveness of this important work. Our records show that in sixty-eight cases there have been infected bedding, clothing and other articles destroyed. Of is number some six to eight claims for remuneration have been made and allowed. Itis not known bow many of the others may apply for benefit under the law. It is pre- sumed, however, that claims equal to the balance of the appropriation may be made before the expiration of the fiscal year. This refers to present year, for which I think we have sufficient funds. I would therefore urge that the attention of the House of Representatives be called to the foregoing statement with a view to the granting of the original amount of 5,000asked for in my estimates for the proper conduct of the diphtheria and scarlet fever service during the ensuing year. ae ANACOSTIA, AW ASSOCIATED CHARITIES BENEFIT.

Its Prospect Discussed by Superintendent Stevens—The Color Question. Superintendent Stevens in an interview with a Sran reporter yesterday said: I am getting nervous over the delay of Congress and the Commissioners iu acting on the beach bill. A trial of the beach for ten days at the end of last summer season proved to all who took suf- ficient interest to visit the place and see for themselves that with proper facilities to guard against accidents from recklessness it would be one of Washington's greatest sources of en- joyment and health for half the year. The drowning of a young man at the beach caused it to be closed by order of the Commis- sioners for an investigation. The decision at the coroner's inquest and a careful examina- tion showed that neither the condition of the beach nor any act or neglect of the keepers was in any way blamable for that accident. But the investigation brought out some points of information showing that Washington bad to contend with different conditions than those prevalent at public watering places on the ‘ocean coas Firet. ‘There are thousands of boys in Wath- ington who had no experience in the water, and when they suddenly come into’ it, with the excitement of companionship with playmater, the daring and bravado of boy- hood leads them into many unknown This is more particularly true of boys of, tho better class, because they have been tauglit to respect the law, which forbids bathing in any waters around Washington, but the boys who give the policemen tronble in all corners of the city are ulmost invariably good swimmers. ‘hat of itself is a suflicient argument to war- rant the necessaty expense to make a good safe bathing place, and make it legal to bathe there and nowhere else.
