A DEPARTMENT OF SCIENCE.

ne Edt TOR OF me IFtOuHc
SIR: In your issue of to- day you make some
courteous comments upon my letter to The Ner York
Heyatd pointing the ACCESSIBILITY Of consolidating
most of the scientific bureaus OF the Government into
single department Some OF your remarks seem TO show
that two of the points under discussion need further
elucid6ti0n
You seem to think that tho proposed reorganization is
desigued to leave the bureaus under the same depart
mepts IA at present OF course such plan is imprac
tcable so far as objection to the trans
fer OF the bureaus organization has been made
by the departments concerned. Last the National
Academy OF Sciences. in report to the Congressional
Commission 0 the Government surveys proposed the
organization OF department Of science as that best
adapeq 70 the eIgences Of the situation. But so long
as all work under administrative head 1t Is
comparatively unimpOrtant by what name VIC call the
organization. ..
In the sam report TO which have referred attempt
was made to define the class OF scientific work which
should lie undertaken by the Government. Such work
must fulfil two conditions. IL must be such cannot
be undertaken and prosecuted TO successful issue by
individuals or eollogcs IL mnst also be such as Will
promote general welfare OF the country. should
be disposed TO still further limit these two propositions
by saying the relation OF the work TO tho general
OF the country should be such as an educated

WEDNESDAY, Dec. 23-P. NJ
The Stock Exchange markets to-day offer little scope
for comment. They opened quietly. and there was
general In values from last evenings clos
ling figures. stll there some trace Of yesterdays
feverlshness and following each improvement there
were some reactions. Tho nominal condition of the
foreign exchanges and the impending gold shipments
were made 20 perform double duty. Exchange Is up
to tho specie shipping point and Gold Is going away
The shipments Of gold by to-morrows steamer Will be
100000 and possibly by Saturdays steamers $jOOOOO
Last week the Imports Of gold from Europe
the port amounted 100000, and the fact was not
noticed by any newspaper except THE TRIBUNE. And
the Is true OF the Imports OF over 81 100000 gold
n the prcc eding week. But outward movement of
possible II 200 600 gold has sot Wall Street spectators
talking about large exports and OF our learned con-
lcmporares 10 predictions Of dire disaster The stock
market to-day seemed to como to realization OF the
actual situation aud to the discovery that gold exports
will have greater effect IN depressing tho price or
wheat held by Spectators than the values Of stocks
which must be benefited By anything which
will set In motion tho boarded wheat. The
temper Of the speculation wasfIyorablo TO higher prices
and regardless Of fluctuations the tone Cf tie market
was strong all tho time. But every advance was
stubboruly resisted and the contest Of the day gave
neither bul" "bcar" much Of solid comfort In the
closing figures the bulls had some advantage In the
general gain over last evenings prices. Central and
Hudson Lake Shore New York and New England, and
Delaware, Lackawanua and Western were especially
conspicuous for their nrmnes3 at something OF tho
earlier advances Texas and Pacific was especially
weak But cousdorrg the heavy blows which have Deen
directed against tho market the tone generally should
Dee regarded as satisfactory.
