THE difficulty experienced by the
Navy Department, says The Stock
Exchange, in providing even nominal
employment for the enormous surplus
of naval officers on the rolls has re-
ceived fresh illustration in the as
Segment of Commodore SPOTS to
duty in San Francisco as sport Com
modore." What the duties of Port
Commodore may be We confess is be-
yond our ken. He certainly has
nothing TO do with the harbor, for all
pertaining to that is under control
of the State. He has no duty at
Mare Island, for that is in charge OF
a communicate. He has nothing in
the world to do but sit and suck his
thumbs or play euchre all day long
with the mouldy heads of the Union
Club. 1t is a question whether
$4,000 year for such service had
not better be saved to the treasury
But there are twenty-five Commo'
dores on the active list of the Navy
and something must be d,ne to keeE
them from going to seed.

Attempted Suicide.

The Belmont Courier of the 9TH
instant contains the following &C.
count Of the attempted suicide of
William Newell, recently convicted
in the District Court OF Nye county
of the crime of rape: Newell, who is
confined in the Nye county Jail un-
der sentence of twenty years with
hard labor in the State Prison, at
tempted to hang himself in his cell
last Wednesday. Having succeeded
IN adjusting the rope around his neck
he concluded that he would shuttle
off this mortal coil; but his little
game was all in vain, as Chinaman,
who is also prisoner, detected him
in the act, entered Newell's cell, cut
the rope and thus prevented the
would-be sniCide from taking his
life. 1t will be remem bered that two
or three weeks ago Newell attempted
to kill himself by opening an artery
in his arm, but the jailor discovered
what he had done in time to have
remedies applied and thus save his
life. Last Thursday morning he con
fessed to Sheriff Hnyck that he had
piece of rope concerted in his mat
trass; the Sheriff went for the mat
trass and found the rope. Newell is
now in straight jacket and the
chances are that he won't try to sui
eide any more for a while.

Donohue has brought suit for dam
ages to the amount of 100000

hitherto has borne good reputation
Mr.. Baldwin alleges that the suit is

The Chinese in California.

Rev A. w. Loomis, D. D., OF San
Francisco has written four letters to
the New York Observer in relation
to the Chinese in California. From
the first we take some extracts:
No priests or teachers of any OF the
religious sects have come to Califor-
mia until within a few weeks, when
only one solitary Buddhist priest ar
rived. Twill Brother Loomis tell us
how the Chinese have run their
heather temples IN San Francisco for
twenty-five years without priests.
There are NO COOLIES" brought to
California, nor do the six companies
import their country men. All Chi
nese male immigrants to California
are free.
Without exception the Chinese leave
their homes with the intention OF re-
turning; not to return would be re-
garded as great calamity. II they
die here they expect their bones to he
returned. Those who become Chris
tianized renounce these supers.it'ons
and prefer not to have their bones To-
moved to China, if they should die
here.
The six companies do Do NOT i'm
port coolies ARE NOT immigrant as
sociations; they ARE NOT civil or
criminal courts to try and execute
offenders; nor are they secret combl-
nations for the purpose of subverting
or interfering with the course OF JUS
tice in the countries to which their
people go to sojourn.
There is always demand for house
servants in San Francisco, IN inland
towns and villages, on the ranches,
at the mills and factories and hotels
all over the State and in the Terrific
ries. Chinese are employed as OPP
eratives in various manufacturing es-
adjustments to do the work Of expert
fingers and patient, Flooding. tireless
minds--a species of labor that no
other source but China has been able
hitherto to supply to California.

NEW SYSTEM OF COINAGE.

A distinguished French political
economist, NJ. Joseph GARNER, has
sumbitted to the French Senate bill
for the reform, on novel principles,
of the monetary system of France.
He proposes to abolish the fixed rela-
tive value Of gold and silver, and the
fixed governmental value of either,
separately, and to limit the function
of the government in coming to the
issue of pieces of the two metals in
the form of ingots or discs, the weight
and standard of which it shall certify
by marks inscribed upon them. For
instance, instead of the 5-franc coin
he would have the government issue
a disc, suitably prepared, and in
scribed "25 grammes silver, 9-1O
fine." So correspondingly with other
CONS. In this way M. GARNER be-
lieves that the embarrassment Of the
single or double standard question
would be escaped, the true qualities
and sanction of money be much better
understood by the people, and long
step taken toward the introduction
of an international currency.

quite glowing account of the future
of that country. He represents the

travel coming from the East. He is

Sydney, about 100 miles east of Chey-
enne, on the Union Pacific Railroad,
and the other from Cheyenne. Both
routes are doing splendid business,

A Break in New York.

Breaks in stocks are not onfined to
California street,as we presume every
body knows by this time. They had
a bad one in New York yesterday,
and stocks took a downward turn
such as has not been known for many
month. Wall street is not used to
such fluctuations as are so common
on our "bourse," and when they come
the whole street is MIXED in a jitfy.
Northwestern fell suddenly fiom 81
to 1Sa, which wiped out the ordinary
Wall street margins IF ten per cent.
in short order. Pacific Mail went
from tn to 1913, and Panama to
80. The coal stocks, however. were
the greatest sufferers, Delaware and
Hudson going from 43 to 80 aud
Delaware, Lackawana and Western
from 81 to so. Both these stocks are
now the most valuable of all the real
securities. The former during the
war paid twenty per cent year
dividends, and since the war, ur to
within a year ago, paid ten and twelve
per cent. The latter has paid ten
per cent. regularly for nearly twenty
years, or since the road was built.
The breaking up of coal combina-
nations, however, and the low price
of the article have done their work,
and receiver is imminent in both
interpretations. The fate of both
these hither almost inpregnabe Sc
curities proves that it is not alone
mining stocks that are precarlous.
