THERE is certainly nothing very cheer
full in the way the trials of the new
cruisers built for the Government are
sustaining the official tests. The Boston
and Charleston have both failed to come
up to the specifications of the Depart
ment, to say nothing of the expectations
of the American people. While the
nation is providing the proper plants to
construct vessels OF war we should meet
the present exigency by buying vessels
wherever they can be bought, and NO
American firm which is willing to sail it's
ships under the American flag should
be denied an American register, which
would enable it to buy ships abroad
There is something quite disheartening
in the way this country is going to the
rear as a maritime power. Enjoying the
singular and precious privilege of no
having to maintain an enormous stand
ing army, we should be willing to spend
few hundred millions in buying OF
building and equipping navy commen'
surate with our national dignity, and to
build Notifications which would protect
our exposed harbors and cities. There
is something inexpressibly absurd in the
way We are neglecting these things.

SUGAR MANIPULATORS.
The Trusts Chickering's with the
Outside Refineries.

New YORK, August lit was reported
yesterday that secret agreement had
been made between the Sugar Trust re-
fineries and the outside refneries re-
garding the output of refined sugar. 1t
has been understood since the formation
OF the trust that an agreement existed
whereby the trust refined about seventy
five per cent. of the output, and the out
side reineries the remainder. Accord
ing to the report a new arrangement has
been made, which the outside refneries
demanded, on account of the growing
consumption. By this the outside retin--
cries are to have thirty per cent. of the
output, and the trust seventy per cent.
The outside reineries are to 30 appor-
tion their outputs as to enable them to
admit the new refinery of Claus Spreck-
les, which is expected to start October
18th. 1t is stated that Claus Spreckels
met the Sugar Trust officers in Germany
recently, where the arrangement was
made satisfactory to him. Claus Spreck-
els, it is reported, is to build another re-
finery in Philadelphia at cost of four
or FIVE millions. The general impression
is that when this refinery is completed
Claus Spreckels will begin war on the
Sugar Trust, which he always threatened.
but which the trust has 30 far avoided.

The Rescued whaiers.

WASHINGTON, August There has
been received at the Navy Department
from Lieutenant Commander Charles H.
Stockton, in command of the Thetis,
report of the movements of that vessel
in the Arctic Ocean, and of the rescue of
the survivors of the whaling barks Little
Ohio and Ohio Second, recently wrecked
on Nanwok Island, Behring Sea. The
report of these disasters corrobo-
rates in detail the Associated
Press reports heretofore published.
Speaking of the case of the
survivors of the Little Ohio, Commander
Stockton says: "It is doubtful if any
would have survived the winter if left to
the care of the natives. Great credit is
due Captain Paul Boyne for his generous
care of the men, though his establish
ment was short of provisions, and this is
especially due to him when it is stated
that this humane conduct was not in ac-
cordance with the verbal instructions OF
the owners of the whaling establish.

soon as the robbers had taken their de-
psrture the train proceeded to Green
River, about thirty-tive miles distant,
where posse of officers and men were at
once started in pursuit of the robbers.
The fact of the robbery was also tele.
graphed to Grand junction, from whence
second party was started out, in charge
of the Division Superintendent of the
road. It is supposed that the robbers
fed north or south to the high river bluffs
and caflons along the many streams in
that part of the State. where pursuit will
be difficult and hazardous. A very good
description can be given, and officers
and detectiyas will be stationed over all
the avenues of escape. This
is the first attempt at holding
up the Rio Grande express
since the Smith brothers successfully &C.
complished the trick near the State line
in 1887. To an Associated Press repre-
sentative tonight g. A. Kramer, General
Manager for the Denver and Rio Grande
Express Company, stated that although
his company were losers only to the ex
tent of badly riddled car and about
fifty rounds OF ammunition, nothing pos
sibe will be left undone to ferret out and
capture the robbers.

The Cfty,s Exchequer.

The City Auditor aeks for 1854, ,439 and
certain odd cents on which to run the
city government for the next fiscal year.
Basing a comparison on last year, the
demand is a very moderate one. The
official probably did not base his estimate
on the present condition of the money in
the most important funds in the city
treasury. He probably did base the es.
timats on what he knew he could get.
The assessment for the year is $44, ,000,-
600, and the new charter wisely fixes
the levy at dollar limit. That will
bring into the municipal Golfers the sum
of 100000. The licenses have been
paying about SIC, 900 month until the
slight falling off came in business and
the sweeping reductions were made
in the number of saloons. The
revenue from the licenses next year
will be about $3.50, 900. Adding this sum
to the tax levy will give the city $500 900,
or trifie more than the Auditor asks
for. But the Cash fund is now heavily

PENNSYLVANIA Republicans are nothiu

PENNSYLVANIA Republicans are nothing
if not thoroughbreds. 1t is hard to make
them "gag" at any party measure.
Friendly liberality" is good as term to
describe Corporal Tanners policy in the
Pension Bureau. Now the greatest of
all republics has given the lie in the
threat to the statement that republics are
ungrateful, by making the most bounti-
full provision, by ten times, ever made
for her citizen-soldiery. And no one has
ever for moment thought of saying a
word to hold back cent from a needy
and deserving veteran. But if all reports
are true, even the Republican admins
tration is disposed to question Tanners
friendly liberality." Matt. Quay also
comes in for tsffy, and one wonders why
Wansmaker with his half million dollars
"boodle," and Dorsey with his ''blocks of
five" were forgotten.

overdrawn; the same statement is true
of the Fire Department fund so also is it
of the Street Sprinklipg fund. Many
others are exhausted or nearly 60. By
the time these deficits are met, there will
be quite hole made in the levy for next
year. There is no other way to raise
money for these purposes. What is 60
ing to be done about it? The expendit-
ures of the city for the year just closed
were l6 per cent. greater than :or the
year previous. If we were to go
back. two years We would probably find
the expenses of the municipality were
then 25 per cent less than now. Taxing
two funds for 1883 and 1889, and we
find this comparison: The salary ex-
penses of these years were, respectively,
1922 900 and $l71 900, or an increase OF
nearly $4,000, or over 40 per cent.
The Street Sprinkling fund for the years
are, respectively, $26, 900 and SAL 600, or
an increase of $4,000, equal to much
much more than 50 per cent, or more
than doubling of this expense. 1t is
unnecessary to carry on this as
tonishing comparison further. In
private life man who finds that he is
spending $125 for each 500 he is taking
in, lops off unnecessary or less neces-
sary expenses here and there until he
makes the ends meet. The people will
hold the memb bers OF the Council morally
responsible for any extravaganza COM
mitted in the management of the public
business, and they will hold the Repub'
lican party politically responsible for this
waste. But that is not the serious aspect
of the matter. The thing which now
stares the city in the face is the question
how to make nearly 5000, 900 pay the
city's bill for the next year? 1t is 6
large sum of money, as those know
who have to "dig it up" during the mex
few months. 1t would seem from 6
casual glance at this increase during one
year of $65 900 in two funds as if a littl,
judicious pruning might be done some
where. This same body of aldermen
are now before the people asking to bt
intrusted with a million and quarter
dollars. Good fnsnciering does no
create deficits; and the people naturally
decline to trust those who have developed
so much facility in tie way of increasing
expenses.

July, which has just passed away,
poured down on the city of New York
during it's thirty-one days more than
seven inches of rain. That is more than
one'third of the total precipitation in
Los Angeles during the past twelve
months. No wonder the Gothamites
sweltered and splashed knee. deep in mud
by turns throughout the days of this
midsummer month. There were but
few days that some rain did not fall,
and on several occasions the downpour
was tremendous. When it was not rain
ing the air was thick. sticky, heavy and
un nhealthy. 1t takes some facts like
these to force on US the reflection of how

Late returns from the elections show that

Government may turn the strip over to
the Arrapahoes and Cheyennes for res
ervation upon the payment of forty-nine
