True, the les are quiet and their quotations have been gradually declining for some weeks; but nobody expected that the inflated prices of the past three or i i last forever. This decline is so as 16 be ost imperceptible, but it is going t the sanre. Every few days some descriptions provisions—both excellent barometers p off a fraction or so. We are now le daily talk in Chicago about the supply of hogs throughout the country, which indicatgs lower prices for cured meats from now on* Stocks of provisions there are accumulat- too; and the demand is not what it was several s ako—another bearish sign. Then, too, al- gh the raw ison has been going down for some le time the finished products have kept up, the Of late, how- ¢se_same finished products have commenced and -the consumption is reported falling off. Lumber, likewise, is reported less brisk, though in some ‘sections of the country the demand seems to be as good as at any time during the past several years.” Dry goods have joined this procession of laggards, which seems to be getting new recruits right.along. S 5 This drooping condition can no longer be charged to unfavOrablé weather or labor troubles, for both these adverse factors are less pronounced than they were $0me weeks back. The fact is the country has veached ‘the limit of its purchasing power and has turned -away from the glittering show case to the ounced-every the first o rn cities, on ing. demand - apparently being insatiable. ever, bargain counter. - This fact is cropping out in all | sorts_of quarters and directions. We are hearing a good deal at'present about the suspension of certain great enterprises here and there, because the pro- jectors are unable to float their bonds as they ex- pected; and no matter on which side we turn we find that out’ recent cheerful recklessness has been suc- ceeded hy. caution and that we are not as flush as we were. There is plenty of money everywhere, but people are not scattering it around as they did. Sol- vent borrowers can get whatever funds they need at reasonable rates of interest, but they are not bor- rowing as heavily as they were. And so it is all along the line, ‘and it is a good thing that we are going more ‘slowly. The country’s failures last week were 273, against 200 in the same week last year. The bank clearings were 5.1 per cent smalier than last year, while the railroad earnings thus far in June are 10.2 per cent larger than in June, 1902, and 17.4 per cent larger than in June, 1901 The financial situation is-still clogged with a mass of undigested securities floated when everybody ex- pected to get rich in a month or so, and which can- not be sold at present, owing to the immense supply still on hand. They will probably all be worked off cventually, but it may take considerable time. This céndition is by mo means confined to New York. It edists here in San Francisco and in other large money centers, where a large amount of treasury stock and bonds are being carried along until such time as they can be disposed of. Some of them never will be disposed of. Locally there is not much new. We are harvest- ing the regular crops, with the regular weather and the regular outlock for fair to good prices for farm and orchard products, and as nobody is complaining it is natural to infer that everything in the business line is all right, albeit rather quieter. 'suma"i digestion would prefer the slower processes A MARITIME CRISIS. : VENTS now occurring in the steamship busi- | E ness on the Atlantic tend to show that we have reached something like a crisis in the affairs of international commerce, and that if the American people desire to have a merchant marine on the deep ‘ seas equal to the task of handling American exports and imports it will be necessary that Congress take | action at the next session to safeguard our interests. | A vast combination of capital has been formed | in New York for the purpose of bringing steamship 1 lines under American control, and at the present time | that combination is the largest shipping interest in | the world. A recent report states that it controls | 140 steamships having an aggregate of 1,100,000 | tons. American capital controls that vast combina- | tion, but it does not control it absolutely, for under | the terms agreed upon by the owners and the British Government the ships remain virtually British. Moreover ,as maritime affairs stand at present the | | ships can earn more money while run under the | British flag than they could do if naturalized and placed under the banner of the United States. ! We have then this condition of things to confront. | A great combination of American capital is now | | invested in ocean shipping. That capital when addi- | tional ships are needed will procure them from abroad and navigate them under foreign flags. Thus the money and the energy that might be used to pro- | mote American shipbuilding and the maintenance of an American merchant marine will be’' employed in giving work to foreign ship yards and work and wages to foreign sailors. | It rests with Congress to so change the conditions of shipping, so far as the exports and imports of this country are concerned, as to make it profitable for the great steamship trust, as it is ealled, to obtain ships from American ship yards and to navigate them under the American flag with American officers and American seamen. We should thus keep at home large sums of money now sent abroad, and at the same time promote one of the most important | of our industrjes. The critical condition of this juncture of affairs has attracted the attention of all persons interested in the development of our foreign commerce. Re- | cently “American Syren and Shipping” after elabor- g the situation said: “Existing eco- nomic conditions make it possible for foreign ships | ately reviewi: |to earn a profit in our foreign carrying, but they | make it impossible for American ships to earn a | profit unaided by our Government. Will our Gov- | ernment extend its aid? It would be worth while, because the new American ships, their officers and | their men, would be at the command of the Govern- ment in time of need. The Government, with its aid, would create an invaluable, efficient and trained American naval reserve, the.very existence of which would insure the nation against possible attack and against losses incalculably greater than the compara- tively trivial expense of aiding in the creation and | maintenance of a priceless reserve of modern Amer- | ican steamships, officers and men.” The importance of the issue has been repeatedly | pointed out. At the present time we are paying an | enormous annual tribute to foreign shipowners on | our export and import trade, and at the same time get but an inadequate service. It will be remem- | bered that during the war in the Transvaal, when a | large number of British ships were withdrawn from | the merchant service to transport troops and muni- tions for the British army, there was an immediate | deficiency in the shipping available for American | trade. We suffered because of a British war with | a remote inland unimportant power. After that ex- | perience we can assert with positiveness that in case | of a war between Great Britian and any first-class | | European power, so large a proportion of ocean | hipping would be withdrawn from commerce as to | raise the rates of transportation to a height that | | would seriously affect our prosperity. | i Even outsiders can perceive that the situation is | serious, and can readily accept the judgment of ex- | perts who pronounce it “critical.” American capital | should be employed in building American ships. We need them for the advancement of our commerced and we will need them all the more should war come. Therefore it will be well for the people gen- ierally to give heed to what is called “the maritime crisis,” and unite in a demand for prompt action on the part of Congress. it | | An airy-fairy 300-pound artist’s model in New | York, who posed for such a picture as “The Whirl- iwird of Fate,” is now suing the painter for over | five years’ back salary. She alleges that he referred to her as “Pettie baby” and “Dear cry-baby.” The case should go to the jury without argument. They would probably give damages and find him “guilty” 2s well, if the statutes permitted. BORAX FOOD. ROFESSOR WILEY, of the Agricultural De- | Ppanmeut at Washington, finding that Germany | objected to our pork because it was alleged that borax and niter figured in the salts used in curing it, called for volunteers to feed on a diet of which | borax was a component, or a condiment part. As the volunteers survived borax they were put upon food in which other popular preservatives were used. The trial lasted several months and the volunteers in the interest of sanitary science are said to have thrived upon the food, and are ready for another trial that is to begin in the fall. We are suspicious of the benefit of proving and publishing that any drug may be used in food. Of course borax is a useful cleanser and it has value as an antiseptic, and saltpeter has long been used in preserving meats. But people are apt to have their caution against other chemicals relaxed when assured that one, or a group, can be taken without harm, as a part of the food. This country had a grea: run on salicylic acid as an antiseptic and an | arrester of fermentation, and its harmlessness was gen- erally certified. Very soon it was extensively in use to arrest the natural and necessary férmentation of wine, in order that the liquor might be fixed and sold young, and then diabetes followed in the track of wines so sophisticated, and the reputation of all wines suffered. . . We owe the preservation of meats and fish, by | pickling and smoking, to the necessities of people who were compelled to carry over a food supply from a time of plenty to one of famine. They did this by the simplest and least expensive means con- sistent with results, using generally only honest salt and sugar and the smoke of clean chips. The<e primi- tive processes required time, but the result was a nutritious and wholesome food supply. In these days the trouble is too much haste, im- pelled by the “get rich quick” spirit of the time. So, with salt and sugar are mixed powerful chemical agents that hasten the process of curing while in- juring the wholesomeness of the food. The con- | point of the divide where some of the waters run | | toward the Mediterranean and some toward the At- | England, rather than a flat sand country.

The management of a circus playing at the village of Coamo were so ungracious as to refuse complimentary tickets to 300 of the in- habitants of that place, who immediately arose in their might and smote the management and the whole show. When things cleared up the hospital had ten and the police many more. PICTURESQUE SAHARA. FRENCH expedition of exploration over a wide sweep of the Desert of Sahara has brought back information that the desert is by no means the flat sandy country that has long been known to travelers by the caravan routes. On the contrary it is a rugged and picturesque land, grandly diversified by valley, canyon and mountain, and has possibilities of extensive development by modern engineering. The expedition was made by a party that traversed the country from Algiers to Lake Tchad, a distance of about 160c miles. There were but fifteen men in | the party, but it required a force of 275 guards to | protect them against the robber bands of the interior, and 1300 camels to carry them and their equipments. It took fifteen months and a half to reach Lake Tchad, but so healthy is the country and the dry air that, despite the hardships of the journey and the 1 lack of water, there was very liftle mortality either among the men or the animals. A large number of photographs, maps, diagrams and drawings of the country were brought back, and a reviewer in describing what they reveal of the country says: “These records and illustrations show us the predominance of high ground, many high ridges and plateaus, large quantities of quartz and granite rocks, impressive gorges and canyons. There | is scarcely one photograph in which there is not a slight elevation of some kind or a mountain. The lantic has an altitude of about 4000 feet. These pic- tures represent a relatively barren African New There are high plateaus where the temperature for some European residents.” This picturesque Sahara, remote from the old car- avan routes, is by no means the dreary desert that has been so long depicted. Water is indeed scarce, but there was found enough of it to carry the whole array of men and camels through in one company without disaster. There was also found a fairly abundant supply of wood and forage. Quite a num- ber of goats, sheep, zebus, and many kinds of birds | were found along the route. In fact the explorers | concluded that the desert could support a consider- able population even in its present condition, if only | peace were established and the wild tribes taught to become farmers instead of robbers and herdsmen. Under a strong government the country would | not long remain in its present condition, for !h:re} are evidences of the existence of large quantities ox'; water underneath the surface, and by the digging of | wells it is believed a very considerable area couldi be made fit for habitation by civilized men. The | traversed, and that will of course be a means for suppressing the robbers. Artesian wells with a good flow can be provided almost anywhere along the route. The development of the country may there- fore be soon undertaken in good earnest. It appears it would pay the French much better to redeem Sahara than to prosecute their conquest in Cochin China. The possessions of France in | North Africa form a territory fifteen times as large as France itself, and it seems there is ample room in it for a large white population. It is not improba- ble therefore that within the lifetime of another gen- | eration the land once looked upon as a desert will | be known as a seat of civilization and a sanitarium for all who cannot live in moist countries. LATIN-AMERICAN POLITICS. HE politicians of most of the Latin-American Tstates divide their time between robbing for- eigners when in power and spending their steal- ings in revolutions when out of power. Honduras | has just gone through a revolution that ended in the capture of President Arias and the succession of President Bonilla. The latter not yet having had a whack at the foreigners had to borrow the money for his revolution from a firm of bankers in San Sal- vador, paying them the trifling interest of 6o per cent. But then it was a risky loan. Bonilla expected to find enough cash in the national treasury to pay the cost of overthrowing the Government. But Pres- ident Arias also knows a politic or two, and he gutted the treasury and fled from Tegucigalpa toward the Nicaragua frontier. Bonilla also ran in that direc- tion and caught his fleeing excellency, but he had dropped the money somewhere and is now in a dun- living on a very light diet, while he tries to remem< ber where he cached the national funds. Bonilla has had to pay back his loan to the bankers from such funds as he could squeeze quickly out of the people. But he has already confiscated a railroad belonging to citizens of the United States, and as this Govern- ment is not very zealous in protecting its citizens abroad, he will probably get his money back, while the Americans he has robbed are contemplating’ the inspiring spectacle of their Government turning the other cheek. Police Judge Mogan has just found a man guilty of disturbing the peace because he used strenuous language after putting his nickel into a telephone only to discover that the line was “busy.” It may be that the man acted unlawfully and that he did not have his nickel's worth, either of telephoning or sat- isfaction, but if we were all called upon to stand up in meeting and confess, it might appeaf that there are others. There was a case of patriotism versus judgment e in San Jose Friday when two young men of that city pulled down an Italian flag that had been placed at half mast by the Italian Benevolent Society out of respect to the memory of a deceased member. They will have a chance to consider which is the more profitable, since they were arrested for mali- cious mischief. Since it is assured that Roosevelt is to be the next nominee of the Republican party for the Presidency, popular interest in Republican politics is centering round the contest for the Vice Presidency. Every section of the Union has set up a candidate for the place except the Pacific Coast, and that is a very good reason why the coast should get away with 'd:e prize. b JUNE 2¢ SMOKE AND ASHES STILL POURING FROM THE MOUTH OF MOUNT COLIMA - EX ECENT reports received show that Mount Colima is still in a state of eruption. Steam and smoke con- tinue to pour from the mouth of the crater and loud rumbling is inces- santly heard. Lyman I. Mowry, a prominent attorney of this, city has just returned from an extended tour throughout Mexico, where he has been engaged since April 25 last in the interest of the China Steam- ship Company. Mr. Mowry has been in the vicinity of Mount Colima a number of times and was an eye-witness to a num- ber of the eruptions from that mountain. In an interview he stated that Mount Colima has for many months been smoking and rumbling in a threatening manner and has been the cause of much fear on the part of the natives living in the vieinity. The mountain is 12,800 feet high, is lo- cated in the State of Colima. and is about 90 miles from the sea. The towns in the vicinity are San Geronimo, Tonela, Platena, Tuxpan and the City of Colima. Tonela, which has about 5000 population, is bullt on the north side of the mountain, 8000 feet from the summit. The | first serious eruption occurred on March The natives living at Tonela were greatly frightened and abandoned their homes. For ten days the eruption con- tinued with great violence, the smoke and ashes rising in the air in-great volume to the height of 5000 feet. After the tenth day the eruption subsided, and the next serious one did not occur until May 7, when a large fissure appeared in the moun- tain close to the crater mouth. On this occasion also the eruption lasted for a number of days. Since that time the most serious outbreaks have occurred on June 1 and June 14. In each case four erup- tions, each of great force and volume and lasting for some minutes, occurred be- tween the hours of 3:20 in the morning and 7 in the evening. | Great masses of ashes have been thrown from the mouth of the crater, and are slowly sliding down the mountain side, but, as yet, no lava has issued from the mountain. 4 In January the sides of the mountain were covered with trees and other vege- tation, but the ashes have now complete- ly covered and destroyed everything in their path.

FOURTH CLASS BREAKS RECORD AT ANNAPOLI HE fourth class at the Naval Acad- | emy will be larger than the other | three combined. Three hundred and | seven vacancles are to be filled, for which the Navy Department has issued 684 permits to principals and alternates, and of these nearly 400 have reported for examination. The largest number of mid- shipmen hitherto recorded in the United States navy was In 1816, when there were 49%. During the Civil War the highest number was 458 in 1865. The piecework system recently intro- duced in the New York navy is reported to work satisfactorily to the parties con- cerned. It is claimed that riveters, which hitherto weré paid $2 80 a day, are now able to make $3 80 to $4 25 a day; drillers earn $3 50 to 34, against the former per diem of $2 48. Boys and rivet heaters who | ‘were making $1 20 now get $1 90 to $2 10, | and joiners, who were paid 33 36 a day, are now receiving $§ to $7. Chief Gunner Charles Morgan has been retired on furlough pay, the latter mean- ing that his disability and retirement was not due to incident of service, and as a consequence he will receive only about $680 a year instead of twice that sum if he had been properly retired. Morgan, it | will be remembered, came into public no- | tice through his application three years ago for examination and transfer to the | line corps, which Rear Admiral Sampson did not aprove of. . &5 President Loubet has donated $240 to the crew's mess of the Jeanne d'Arc as a recognition of the excellent performance of the ship and exceptional good conduct of the crew during the visit of the Presi- dent and Minister of Marine to Alglers. Minister Pelletan also showed his appre- ciation by canceling all punishment in the squadron and ordering the issue of extra wine ration. ‘The armored cruiser Marseilles hy made twenty-one knots with 20,500 hort power.

This sum, arge as it | may appear, is not excessive considering | the fact that the ship made he voyage | to China and has done considerable cruis- ing ou that station.

The | voyage of the Spartiate from Portsmouth, ° to Hongkong demonstrated the fact that h ship™ con-’ . sumed fifty per cent less coal than th cylindrical (Scotch) boilers of the, "Bles heim, besides increasing the average.. speed fromdtwelve to thirteen knots for - the entire voyage. x The two circular monitors Novgorod and Vice Admiral Popoff have been struck off” . the effective list of the Russian navy and® . relegated to harbor service at Nicolajeff, - in the Black Sea.

The yacht Livadia, bullt on the same principle, turned out a dismal failure and was condemned after her voyage from England to the Black _ Sea. The Novgorod was 101 feet In dia-- meter and the Popofka 120 feet in diame- - ter. The last named had iron. armor 16 inches thick, carried iwo ¥-inch guns and’ had a speed of six knots.- 3 - Twenty light-draught gunboats are to bs_ built for service on the Amur River. to’ - protect Russian Interests in Northern China. The boats are to be fitted with" turbine motors. Lieutenant Shandt, of the Russian navy, has been experimenting with anti- fouling paint with good results. It was applied on the yacht Tamara and.the bat- - tleship Tri Sviatitelia, both in the Black Sea, and the Lottoms of the two vessels . were found to be entirely free from bar- nacles and other, marine growth. e The Spanish armored cruiser Cagdenal" Cisnero, designed in 1388 and buflt at the Ferrol dockyard, has at last been so far. ' completed as to make her steam trials. The vessel was launched in 1397 and being : then already antiquated, efforts have been * made to modernize her to the best extent possible. She is of 7000 tons displacement, 18,000 horsepower and 20.25 speed- under ° forced draught, and carries a main bat- tery of two 9.4 inch and eight 3.5 inch guns.
