The Enhancement of Values by the Ad- vance in the Price of Labor. WALL STRReEt, SUNDAY, May 26, 1872, A freer movement on the canals has been fol- fewed by some reaction in the wheat and flour market, but without materially reducing quota- ttens, the scarcity of the supply at the Atlantic sea- board being too manifest to induce holders to yield te buyers, The prospect of unusually light Feceipta of cotton tho rest of the season @ustains the cotton market. In trade gen- erally business is hardly satisfactory. It can- mot be said to drag, but calculations have Deen disappointed. The dry goods trade has been ‘enfavorably affected by the fickleness of the sea- gon, summer having followed winter and been fol- Jowed in turn by spring weather, to the unsettling ef domestic plans for dress and costume, At the @lose on Saturday several failures in the cotton trade were reported, the parties having been oper- ating, doubtless, for a decline in the market, or be- ing what 1a technically kuown as “bears” in the em. : ‘HR SUPPLEMENTAL TREATY Baving been ratifed’on Saturday evening in a pro- longed session of the Senate, the agony is over, 80 far as Wall street is concerned, and the ensuing ‘week is likely to witness a general reorganization ‘ef clique tactics in view of wiiat has been done to- ward au abatement of the last cause of dispute be- tween England and America. It will be very curious to study what the immediate effect upon ‘Stock yalnes will be, and to trace how far the faith ‘ef the community and of speculators in higier Prices will have been revived by the event of Satur- @ay night. Had not the bearish interest been ‘argely closed ont earlier in the month and daring ‘the excitement following the recent culmination of She excitement in Pacific Mail we should be in- ‘Olined tv look on MONDAY MORNING for a general rush to cover speculative con- Gracta. As it is, the interest on the “short” side is #00 inoonsiderable to lead to auy violent move- Ment of this character; so that a ristig market, should such be the effect of the news of Saturday night’s ratification of the treaty, would represent the popular and speculative ®onviction that the future of prices must we in the upward direction under the inflating Anfuence of a further and renewed influx of Eng- lish and foreign capital. It is true that a good deal of this Influence has been already discounted; but as the elements of the problem are g@mkuown and uncertain quantities, the “discount- $ng” may have been both premature and over-cal- culated, In other words, with all the discounting of the restoration of good feeling between the two countries, the plethora of money in Kurope and the thousand and one opportunities for its success- fulemployment here may prove the IRON FILINGS AND MAGNET of agreat conjunction of the two wealth-making | conditions, The fact seems to be forgotten that with the several cables and the numerous rapid Steamship lines (vide the achievement of the Adriatic) between England and America London and New York are as near to each other as were New York and Washington not a taird ofa century ago. The transfer of capital from Europe is encouraged by capital itself; for it does good to what goes and to that which remains be- Bind. When the conditions of a more equal distri- bution are fulfilied as between the two countries ‘We shall look fora cessation of the flow; but, as must be evident, the wider knowledge of each Other and the constantly increasing intercourse of ‘oth will steadily defer the period of such equaliza- tion antil the level here Is equal to the level on the other side. The “discounting” of the effect on our stock market of the" final adoption of the Supple- mental Treaty has been overdone by as much as the @apital of Europe capable of transfer to the New Work is under-estimated in the general mind, THE MONEY MARKET has offered no new feature, and with the growing reserve of the banks promises no immediate dis- turbance, the large contraction in loans during the past week 48 an indication of caution to the con- trary notwithstandin, With all the undoubted in- Mation prevailing on the Steck Exchange, and the consequent large absorption of money for specula- tive uses, the supply 10 the stockbrokers closed abundant at six per cent and to the government @ealers at five or six per cent. The merchants who, tm carrying heavy lines of goods, are forced to ask a renewal of their paper, find accommodation pretty @asily at 710 per cent, the quotation for really prime names being 7 a 8 per cent. Foreign exchange left off at 1095; for prime sixty @ay bills und 11034 for sight sterling. THE GOLD MARKET has been characterized by a duller speculation, Owing to the confounding of the theories of the Street by the opposing influences of the prog- Pective passage of the Supplemental Treaty and the heavy depietion of specie, the “boys” generally “giving it up,” preferring the quicker and less @nxious medium of stock values, The fature holds mo more curious problem, however, than the pros- pective course of gold the rest of the summer months under the Hicting influences of the Fatification of the Weshington supplemental Treety, the tapering down of the cotton and wheat supply, the revival of Ameriean rail loans in Eurape nd the dozen other matiers bearing upon the amoestion. A NEW DEPARTURE, Indeed, with the cost of production of domextie articles enhanced 290 per cent, the trade ax etrikes, and the cest of living enha A by the gt rise in wheat and flour, the question recars whether we are not on the eve ofa grand inflation in all di- rections, Adam Smith tellg us that, taking one year with another for @ long series of years, the price of wheat—or corn, aa they call it on the other wide—is the best index of the value of things. A rise, therefore, of three or four dollars the past few months in the price of a barre) of flour is a very significant fact, andseems to demonstrate that for some curtous reason money bas greatly fallen in value during the same period, and therefore has lost much of its purchasing power, The rise in real estate in some portions of ‘the city has been simply enormous. Look at the Tecent sales of Fifth avenue lots for as muchas two or three thousand dollars a lineal foot of frontage. The depreciation of money has hot been in its paper representative alone, but in all that is known as money whether it be gold or silver, bank notes or Treasury notes, Great thancial qrestions and problems are in- volved in the events of the past ten years, or since the cable and the Wéeetapl have begn made such 1 howe eS prices of the principal stocks during the da: i active agents in foreign and domestic intereom- munication, and the steady mineral production of money has been augmented by the sudden creation of overs thousand millions of paper dollars here and in Europe; in other words, as the need of money aga means of exchange has decreased, its supply has been enormously increased. THE BANK STATEMENT. ‘The chief features of the bank statement are a decrease of over two millions in loans and a gain of nearly two and a half millions in the surplus over the legal reserve. The contraction in loans is not readily explained, unless it represents the liquidation in the stock market during the week by large holders who (borrowers previously from the banks) sold their stocks and returned the loans. Considerable of this is thought to have been done by the operators in Pacific Mail more es- pecially. The actual gain in legal reserve has been over three millions, composed chiefly, as may be tn- ferred, of legal tenders, the gain in specie being rather larger than was generally anticipated, con- sidering the outward current of specie. The banks now hold $9,815,675 in excess of the required re- serve—a gain for the week of $2,426,575. The statement compares with its predecessor as follows :— May 18. May 2%.

COMMERCIAL REPORT. RISE EET Cotton Market Excited and Higher—Re- ceipts at the Ports 1,437 Bales=Wheat Firm—Pork Lower—Lard Firmer—Naval Stores Steady—Whiskey Higher. Sarunpar, May 25-6 P. M. Cortow.—The continued rise in prices of contracts for the carly months rendered the market for spot cotton unsettled and prices nominally 3¢c. per 1b. higher. The real demand for actual cotton, however, was quite Hmited, and large lines for the legitimate purposes of exportand consumption were not salable at quotations, which must be regarded.as wholly nominal. The move- ment in future conteacts.was again large and the market ruled feverish under a brisk demand the “short” {uterest, while new speculatlye ventures were freely Innde, manly for the months of June, July and. August The sfiicial announcement of the failure of the well- known house of Dibble, Worth & and numerous un: favorable rumors concerning other concerns contributed to the excitement, and the market, though somewhat easier at the close, had a firm undertone.

Opinions of Presidents of Prominent Railroad Companies. It has been patent to every one living in New York fora long time past that the street railroad cara were & most fruitful source of spreading dis- ease and contagion. From the horses’ heads to the dashboards on the rear platforms, inside and out- side, these vehicles are constitutionally constructed and conducted for the diasemination ot almost all the destructive elements. The worn, wearled beasts that drag them along the thoroughfares are an ad- mirablo example of what the passengers are at any moment likely to come to through too much using of these conveyances. The horses, un- like the cars, sometimes have cold water poured into them—and they most certainly look as if that was the only thing given to the poor animals in abundance. This is one reason, perhaps, why they seem to have go little relish for it in the middle of their journey, where it is generally administered. ‘The outward appearance of the horses is a good illustration of what is to be found inside the con- veyance, UNCLEAN, UNCOMFORTABLE AND UNSAVORY, they look like the very last effort of man’s ingenu- ity in the struggle to torture his race. For miles and miles the wretched passenger is compelled to remain crushed into his corner, while every sense 1s groaning under the agony of its burden. Seeing, hearing, smelling and feeling are each attacked by an avalanche of nastiness. But there is no other means of locomotion, and the sufferer 1s obliged to bear the rack just to the very last blow of the tor- ture hammer. In wet weather, If a man is fortu- nate enough to get into a car before he is entirely soaked, the operation is sure to be completed for him in the vehicle by the bedraggled skirts of the lady passengers, who drag them past him with an injured air that glories in the damage they are doing. Then the victim is obliged to sheve his hands into his coat pockets or caress the handle of his um- brella with them; for he can no longer hug his knees, they are s0 saturated by the ladies’ skirts, In dry weather, when the breathing is not comfort- able, the amiable conductor crams the car until the poor passengers look ike 80 many ROASTING RED HERRINGS. - One very delightful sensation a passenger in a strect car always enjoys is that they are open to evg'ybody, and a passenger is at all times open while riding In them te anything of a live or lively nature that any other passenger may be carrying loosely about him. This in itself is a constant source of nervous excitement to the timid or those too nice about the cleanliness of things in their vicinity, but it is only a minor evilto many others the travellers by the street cars are subject to be annoyed or afflicted by. In the present state of New York contagious diseases are very dangerous, Smallpox has been deluging the city for months; typhoid and spotted fevers have also been doing their work, and there can be no doubt that all three diseases have made the strect cars their right arm of destruction. Outside of New York, too, in New Jersey and other neighboring States, smallpox has been prevailing during the winter, «sid many persons have come to this city suffering from it and used the cars to go to hospitals or to friends in town, It may be easily imagined what the result will be while such a@ state of things as this is permitted to goon. Becoming at last alive to the fact of the danger to the public health under this condition of affairs, the Board of Health of the city of New York got it into its wise head to work, and after a series of sittings in secret and public conclave delivered itself of A MOST MONSTROUS MOUNTAIN, in the shape of an ordinance composed of five sec- tions, all of them relating to the street cars, The Board's jester was on hand, too ready to ring in hia little joke at every favorable opportunity and make the company smile, It was most delightful work; the sages had found the cause of all the disturb- ance, and how jolly it would be to annihilate it with ablow. King Pippin, of the cap and bells, clapped his alry wings, waved his magic wand and shouted in.a ptanissimo tremolo, “Lo! here, my masters, is the elephant!” Great should be the joy in Gotham; the savans had found the soap that was to wash the city. Poor Paris, in her days of trouble, had a “Cognac.” und so has New York in her hour of dis- tress. The Parisian “Cognag” was a juggler, and the Gothamite follower of the illustrious knight of the cup and balls is an admirable imitation. “Cognac” in Paris had but ome trouble, and that was a lovely daughter, on whom he lavished the boundless treasures of a father’s heart. “Cognac” in New York has but one dificulty also, and that is the filth in the city. But, then, in his tender care to relieve the fair metrepolis of a portion of her unsavoriness he brings to the labor so much fun and good nature that the tiresome operation becomes be- witchingly attractive, The street car track was not one of “Cognac’s.” It was not the kind of sword he liked to swallow. It was not quite “bony” evough to suit his palate. or, at least, did not at first look of that aspect Still when it made its appearance he gave all the superabundant richness of his nature to helpit into fall growth. At length the moment of triumph arrived, and in full session the set of sections was passed and became law. The first one said thatail the companies owning street cars in New York must instantly TAKE OUT ALL THE CUSHIONS and upholstered backs in the cars, as the Board in its wisdom had come to the conclusion that these Illinois, to arrive, at 62%c. afloat.

We can’t inconvenience the companies by asking them totake the trouble to keep the cushions clean, but we can you, and we will make you do it. The companies are ‘eg corporations, and we can’t atfond to offend them; besides. we like all la: ge bouies of men that are powerful, such, for in- stance, as legisiatures; we'll knuckle down to them to any amennt; but hdl | will see that youkeep | yourselves lean, and we will make you do it, too, our own Way. THE BOARD OF HEALTH ordered the cushions to be taken away, but it docs not say what should be put in their place. The poor, tired-out working girl wio toils ail day standing at son peach or counter was lost sight of, and so poring man, the poor mechanic, and the other weuried, used-up travellers to tue cushioned seat 18 the first comfort in a day's labor, Not only has the Board ordered that the cushioned seats be removed, but it has de- termined to banish the upholstered backs also, Another section of the ordinance reiating to street care provides that all cars used for the transporta- tion of passengers be thoroughly cleaned, washed inside ant out, every day that such conveyance is used, ‘This portion of the health decree alone is worth ali the rest, and If the Board of Healti would only see that it is enforced there would be no neces- sity for the other sections. As things now are, the cars look as if they were never cleaned or washed except in wet weather, and even ti they are ONLY PARTIALLY PURIFIED, unless the day happens to be a very wet one, even the removal of the dirt is only # surface opera- tion and does really very little towards tie safety of the heaith of the people, for in very bad weather there 18 a poisonous humidity in these conveyanees that is almost stifing. If the Commissioners of Health would only for a moment remember that all the people in New York were not commissioners and did not trevel in carriages, then some useful measure may be obtained by the population, Instead of having the cushions Tomoved, rom the bars they would provide that the companies kept them in a condition that would preclude any dan- | ger of the passengers being affected by them. ‘this very section relating to the washing of the cars shows the weakness of tie entire ordinance and pe- trays to the public a lamentable want of foresight or knowledze of the subject by the gentiemen who I such laws, next section of the r consideration provides that no bay be nsed in cars, At the present mo- } went this is @ Most Useless and JQolish clause, for But | | Without hail. from being frostbitten, but It prevents an amount of flith that would otherwise be all directions about the inside of the car.

Or sympathy for the poor women who on Saturda: night have to convey large baskets of provisions home, they might compel the companies to set ‘aside special conveyanc: in which bundles or baskets would always be taken. It ig absurd to permit parcels of any kind on the ordinary passenger cars, but it is more than foolish for a body of Health Commissiouers to gravely or- dain, in the face of an intelligent public, that dan- gerous bundles of clothingshall be placed right in the very eye of the wind for the advantage of the people's health. To sit ina boardroom and make these decrees 1a one thing, but to go out into the streets and see thelr operation upon the masses ts entirely another, > one the members of the Board of Health seem to have lost sight of: The last of this rare document relates en- tirely to ventilation. But so determined is tt that ventilation shall be secured that it almost specifies the kind of instrument that ought to be used for that porpoee. Not only must the cars be provided with windows in the roof, but they must have VENTILATORS WITH REVOLVING TOPS. This revolving top business looks very much like the cloven foot of the ordinance. The beautics of the article have, no doubt, been fully explained to the Board, and ft is, no doubt, an admirable invention and very likely would prove an immense advantage to any community into which it was adopted, but it certainly cannot be worth the manufacture of a health ordinance to introduce it, The revolving top in rapid motion may be A VERY LOVELY THING to contemplate from the sidewalk, and it would no doubt be a rest consolation to the poor suffering passengers in the car to think how delightful the Outside appearance of the conveyance in which ey were undergoing 80 many hardships was; but taking into consideration the many necessaries to be sacrificed to these elegant windmills, it is very presumabie, if the opinions of the people were taken, they would rather not have them quite so beautitul. It would be bad taste, no doubt; but then, if one could analyze the feelings of a man who was accus- tomed to ride the distance from the City Hall to Hariem twice a day, it is yer probable the revolv- ing top would have lost half its beauty by the time } he had reached the end of his journey on an un- cushioned seat, with half a ton of dirty linen staring him in the face fiom the front platform. Mr. Fields, the president of the Third Avenue Railroad, was called upon yesterday by a HERALD reporter and his opimou asked upon the cusuion question, The gentleman had not seen anything of the ordinance up to that time; but when the subject was ex- plained he said the order now was a super- fluous one, as the company took all the cushioned cars off during the summer months, but in winter he could not see how the people would do without them. ‘There were sixty cars in the workshop, Mr. Fields said, under- going the change from cushions to piain boards, The upholsterer of the kne, who has been in the employ of the company for the past five years, told the president one day last week that during his ex- perience a bug or any other obuoxious vermin was never discovered in the cushions of the cars, al- though the oid ones were frequently being taken out and replaced by new ones. The upholstered backs, Mr. Fields said, were already done away with and would never be restored, The president also said taut every car on the line was cleaned and washed aiter every trip. If this rule were as rigidly carried out by the employés of the road as the pres- ident supposes cars Nos, 133 and 101 would not have been in the excessively flithy condition they were yesterday. The president acknowledges that MANY OF THE CARS were in a bad condition, but that was scarcely necessary, as any person blessed with the ordinary eyesight could discover at a glance. Tobe sure, r. Ficids said the old cars were being replaced by new ones as fast as possible, but in the meantime the public are obliged to suffer all the inconveni- ences of the dingy, dirty old ones. The superin- tendent of the Eighth avenue line thought the action of the Board of Health was foolish in the ex- treme. He said that line always used cushions and could not do without them, At one time, he said, @ noise was made about the infecting influence of the cushions, and the company tried the wooden seats, but the people soon got to know the numbers of the cars that had the wooden seats, and then avoided them. The result was the company was obliged to abandon the wooden movement and re- sume the hions. The section relating to the dirty linen the superintendent considered as a fatal error, for the reason that, if such bundles be al- lowed on the cars at all, {t should most certainly not be on the front platform. Tiis gentleman said they may force the companies to take up the cushions, but just as sure as they do the people will compel them to put them back again. Mr, butler, the presi- dent of the Sixth avenue road, Fiona there was no absolute need of the cushion. He thought a piece of good carpet on the seat gave all the elas- ticity thut was necessary. The Sixth avenue has a line now the company calls the ladies’ line, and all the cars used on it are carpet seats, Mr. Butler thinks they are more comfortable and more easil kept clean than the cushions, The bundles, he said, ought to have been kept off the cars altogether, and not allowed on the front or back platform. On the Fourth avenue line all the cars have cushions and upholstered backs, yet they are never dirty or even objectionable. The cars are carefully washed and cleaned, and even the most fastidious could find nothing to object to inthem. By this example it will be plainly seen that if the Commissioners of Health had carefully considered the subject of street cars before they passed the ordinance relating to them, no such abortive instrument would ever have emanated from that body. $20,300 IN JEOPARDY, Attempted Robbery of a Bank Messenger in a Strect Car. Every day two or three cases of car robberies are brought to the notice of the police courts, and, in- stead of diminishing, they seem to increase. Some- times a watch is purloined, sometimes a purse, sometimes a diamond pin. Oftentimes they are of the most audacious kind and perpetrated in broad daylight. In fact, the rear plat- forms of the cars in the mornings and evenings are the workshops and harvest flelds of all the chevaliers @industrie in town. At two o'clock on Saturday afternoon Henry H. Bull, mes- senger of the Central National Bank, left the Bull's Head Bank, corner Twenty-fifth street and Third avenue, with $20,300 in checks, notes and bills, in a large wallet, which he placed in an inside pocket. Just after he got on the car a man, with a coat on his arm, preased inst him, forcing Mr. Bull to lean backwards, hile in tils awkward position the stranger passed his right hand under Mr. Bull's left arm and took hold of the wallet, lifting it about three inches. The latter gentleman detected the movement and replaced the wallet, the other at once passing inside the car, Mr. Bull kept his eye on “his man,” saw him get out at Seventeenth street, and immediately fol- lowed him until he reached the Westininster Hotel, corner Sixteenth street and Irving place, where he had him arrested by OMcers Mulvey and Dougherty. The prisoner was brought to Essex Market Court yesterday, before Judge Scott, and was committed He gave his name as William Harn- son, commission merchant, A LAD KILLED BY A RAIL OAR, Information was received at the Coroner's office yesterday morning that on the evening previous John Klein, a lad 13 years of age, whose parents live at 70 Willett street, had been run over corner of Houston and Suffolk streets, by car 19 of the Forty-second and Grand street ferry line, and at- most instantly killed, the wheel passing over his abdomen, It was stated that deceased, who had been riding on a tuck, jumped of, and in attempt ing to run across the track ahead of the horses was knocked down and crushed to dexth before the car could be stopped. James B. Rogers, driver of the car, Was arrested and detained to await, the result of an investigation belore Coroner Keenan. The remains of deceased were removed to the residence of the parents. Another Death on the Ratl. Joun Linge, a German, 29 years of age, who re- sided in Fortfeth street, near Eleventh avenue, while endeavoring to board a Yonkers train near the Hudson River Railroad depot, on the 9th Inst., fell on the track, and being run over, Was so badly injured that death ensued at Bellevue Hospital, Coroner Herrman was notified to hold an inquest, OUT WITH A KNIFE. Fannie Forrest, of No. 2i4 Wooster strect, and Maggio Thompson, residing at the corner of Bleecker and Carmine streets, on Saturday night met to settle an old grudge that had been existing between them for some time. During the dispute Fannie drew a knife from her pocket and cut open Maggie's cheek from her forehead to her chin. She afterwards made an attempt to cut her throat, but only succeeded in inflicting several slight wounds. Fannie was arrested by ollcer Schutt, of the Fif- THE SRUISE OF THE MERCURY. Five Months on the Atlai< tie Ocean. Officials Report Two and the Boys Fight Missing. MYSTERIOUS RETICENCE OF THE’ OFFICIALS. The schoolship Mercury is once more comfort- ably riding at anchor on the Sound, between Hart and City Islands, after having traversed thousands’ of miles of ocean, and visited the different porte of the South Atlantic, The authorities in charge of the Mercury appear to be fully satisfied with the’ results of the crulse, and are of the opinion that it has proved highly beneficial to the boys, as it haw. enabled them to form a more extended estimate of the countries they have visited than mere geo- graphjcal instruction could have arrived.at. The cruise extended over a period of five months, and withthe exception of @ little rough water, when only & couple of days out, they enjoyed very fine weather during the entire voyage. , ‘THE BRIGHT SIDE. A representative of the Hrratp vistted the Mets oury last Friday, and made some tnquiries relative’ tothe voyage. Inthe absence of Captain Girard @ description of the voyage was furnished by the assistant paymaster. From the information thus obtained it appears that the schoolship Mercury WEIGHED ANCHOR on the 16th of December, and, bidding adicu to City, Island, came down through the Sound to New York, and thence down the Lower Bay, passed Sandy Hook and stood out to sea en route for the Canary. Islands. For the first few days the weather was far, from pleasant, and the old ship encountered @ heavy cross sea that made her roll considerably.; She, however, proved herself stanch in every re- spect, and nobly weathered the storm. In about @ week, howéVer, they fell_jn with favorable winds and comparatively smooth water, so that they ar rived and anchored off Los Palmas, in the CANARY ISLANDS, on the 7th of January. The weather was charming,’ in that locality, and the Mercury remained therd until the 22d of January, when she got under weigh and steered for Bahia, a port on the. Brazilian coast, The course lay about south, southwest, and,’ with a favorable breeze, they soon passed the Cape de Verde Islands, and then, crossing the Equator, made for their destination. Leaving the Island of Fernando Noronha on their right they arrived at their destination on the 15th of February, and wera soon riding at anchor off Bahia. During the cad from Los Palmas to this port the boys were given ttle daily exercise in an open boat, and soundings were taken all along the course. Specimens of thd bottom were also obtained and carefully preserved. The Mercury did not remain very long at Bahia, butg after a weck’s rest, she again weighed anchor and steered for RIO JANEIRO, some distance farther south on the Brazilian coast.’ This part of the voyage was very pleasant and much enjoyed by all on board, A week’s sail saw the Mercury anchored off Rio Janeiro, and she re4 mained at that port until March 12, The Mercury had now arrived at the southern terminus of hex + route, and on the 12th of March she started coon more up the coast, bound ina northerly direction. ‘By way of making this part of the voyage useful a8 well as instructive soundings were taken every, day from an open boat, and the particles of botto! that adhered to the lead carcfully classified and | reserved. After passing Cape St. Roque the Mercury was steered for Barbados, in the West India Islands. She anchored off the port of Bridge- town on the 14th of April, and remained there q > week. During the sojourn of the Mercury at) Bridgetown a reception was given by Captain Girard to some of the leading residents of tha lace, and among those present were Consul Holly, Saat ¢ Thornhill and several of the officers of tha, English man-of-war. SIRIUS. } The guests were shown all over the Merouryg’ and expressed themselves much pleased and interested with what saw. The Mercury)) left Bridgetown on the of April, and, after) a pleasant three days’ sail, arrived at the Island of St.Thomas on the 26th, and remained) at anchor there until the 30th of May. She) then turned ner bow homeward, and after @ leasant trip arrived and cast anchor in her old, eadquarters off City Island on the 12th of May. ‘The Mercury looks in perfect order, and is evidently none the worse for her cruise. On the 15th of May’ an entertainment was given on board, and among the guests were Pilot Commissioner Blunt, Captaim Hardy and some twenty ship masters, THE DARK SIDE. RerorTER—Were there no other incidents of puby lic interest that occurrred during the voyage ? OFFICER—None of any importance, REPORTER—Were there no deaths or casualties ? OrriceR—A boy fell from the main yard and die@ a few days afterwards from the injuries he meer, but it is hardly worth reporting that. ReporteR—Can you give me some particulal about the accident, as my instructions are to pub lish all news ? 3 OrFicER—The name of the boy was Walter Man- ning; he had been in the schoolship about six: months, He was on the iatn-yard one day, while lying at anchor off Bridgetown, when he missed: his hold and fell to the aeck, injuring himself sq severely that he died a few days afterwards, 3 Rerorten—Were there no boys drowned during) the cruise? OrFicen—Yes, @ boy named Michael Welsh was lost in the surf on the 17th of January while making, a landing at Los Palmas, on the Canary Islands, ,- REPoRTER—How did the accident occur? { OrriceR—-The boat was making a landing through! the surf, and the boys were told to hoki on, but-this, one was careless and got pitched out into the surf,) and it was impossible to save him. i RerorTeR—Were there any other casualties or} incidents of interest during the cruise? | OFFICER—NO, Bir. The HERALD reporter then left the cabin to retur to his boat, and on the companionway asked one the boys how he enjoyed the trip. The little fello said they had @ very pleasant time, but they LOST EIGHT BOYS during the cruise. He said two or three had jum) overboard off the coast of Brazil; another Jumped overboard whiie close to New York. ‘The HERALD representative then got into his boat and was puiled back to Whitestone, fully satistie of the truth of the reports that were floating around of the loss of life during the cruise of the Mercury.
