MEN FOR THE NEW CRUISERS.
A Part of the Charleston's Crew to be
Sent Across the Continent.

Arrangements were being made today at the
Navy department for the fitting of the two new
vessels recently added to the navy, the Charles
ton and Baltimore, with their proper compile
ments of men. There is some difficulty about
equipping the Charleston, which is now at
Mare Island, Cal There are not enough men
by about one hundred on the Pacific coast to
give the ship her full allowance, and it will
probably be necessary to send a part of the
crew overland by rail. This is very expensive
and will draw heavily upon the meager re-
sources of the department for travelling ex-
penses. 1t was at first expected that arrange
ments could be made for sending the men down
to the Isthmus Of Panama from New York by
mail steamer, and to transfer them there
across the narrow strip of land to
the Charleston. This would be a much
cheaper process, but it was found that the
mail steamer company would not take the men
until late in January, and SO the scheme was
abandoned. The Baltimore will receive her
complement in about ten days and will then
steam down from Philadelphia to Norfolk Ia
receive her lsst touches.
Mrs. Della Parnell states that she has re-
ceived but one-quarter of the $1,000 said 10
have been presented to her.

THERE is nothing more uncertain
than the price OF wheat, under the
present system of gambling. Within
week this commodity has bounded
upward from 80 cents TO $lO84. on
the Chicago board, while the actual
price in the interior ranged from SO to
10 cents. he-sbulge as usual was
based upon fraudulent reports OF
shortages, of decrease in the visible
supply, of the probability of war, of
damaging crop reports, or something
OF that sort, all set afoat by the bull
gamblers with the premeditated de-
sign OF squeezing the bears. Thus the
press is made the unwilling ally of un-
scrupulous spectators, and uncon-
sciously assists them in carrying out
their nefarious schemes. So far as the
bulls and the bears are concerned the
people generally have no greater inter-
est in their conflict than would be
manifested in battle OF Kilkenny
cats, but they emphatically pro-
test against the methods OF these pow
erful combinations which perpetually
disturb legitimate commerce in an
American staple product, and keep it
in constant turmoil. No legitimate
miller can afford to buy wheat at the
board quotations, no legitimate farmer
can afford to be governed by them in
marketing his grain, and no legitimate
dealer in flour can safely contract or
make engagements ahead for supplies
upon a common sense view OF
the probable value of actual wheat,
based upon the law of supply and de-
mand, on account OF the uncertainty
OF the market. as governed by the
gamblers. The remedy for this great
evil rests with the people, and the
sooner they take the matter in hand
the better it will be for the American
farmers, millers, dealers and consum-
ers. Legislators should be chosen in
future with this object in view.

source OF deep regret that his untimely
death deprived him of the privilege of
witnessing the consummation of AL
his hopes. 1t is gratifying to his de-
scendants, however, TO learn that a.
imperial firman has been granted
authorizing the construction of q line
OF tramways IN the city, which is also
to be lighted with gas within the en-
suing year. The dispatches gravely
announce that the 15O 900 inha bitants
OF Damascus are eagerly awaiting the
introduction OF these promised Amer.
lean innovations, fully convinced that
they will not only add to their own
comfort, but will also create boom in
real estate. Even San Diego can find
mnch encouragement in a contempla-
ton OF this achievement.
