The ordering Of the war ships Charleston.
MohicaA, Marion and Alert from Pacific waters
to China will leave in the Pacific squadron the
1rOquois, Pinta, Pensacola, San Francisco,
Thetis and Baltimore. The Omaha, now at
Mare Island navy yard, could be got in readi-
mesa, it 10 declared, in a fortnight, though just
where her crew would come from no one in
naval circles seems TO know. IL has long since
been discovered that the $3.50 men allowed the
navy by law is too small force TO man all the
ships now built
There are at present on the South Atlantic
station the side-wheeler Tallapoosa and the
corvette Essex. The Yantic, now lying in the
East river OF 18th street, will sail in the course
of month to join these two vessels On ar
rival at Montevideo the crew Of the Tallapoosa
will be sent home and that vessel will be sold.
The days Of the Tallapoosa's usefulness, il il
said, ended some time since.
At present the European station is without
IN American war ship. This fact, owing to the
comparatively short steaming distance from the
North Atlantic coast Is not as serious as might
at first seem. 1t is safe to say that in ten DAYS
steaming the whole of the white squadron could
reach the Straits of Gibraltar from New York
The only apprehension ever likely TO arise will
be due TO some contingency demanding imme-
diate attention. Such contingencies are only
likely to be met with in northern Africa. where
the presence Of a war ship is necessary to pre-
vent sudden acts Of depreciation on foreign
property.
On the North Atlantic or home station there
are At present the seven ships and one torpedo
boat Of the white squadron, namely. the Boston,
Chicago. Newark, Atlanta, Concord. Yorktown,
Vesuvius and Gushing and in addition the ves-
sells OF the home squadron, the Philadelphia.
Petrol, Enterprise and kearsarge. The Ben
nington and Dolphin. the former at New York
and the latter at Norfolk, will both enter early
into active service.
On the Asiatic station there are at present. in
addition to the vessels shortly to be dispatched
hence, the Alliance. Monocacy and Palos. The
Lancaster, originally ordered as flag ship of the
station, 10 now Gu route, and was last reported
at Funchal, Madeira. 1t is rumored in naval
circles that the Lancaster will now be ordered
by cable to the South Atlantic station as flag
ship Of the feet there. This decision seems to
have been reached in view Of the fact that the
Charleston has since been ordered TO do flag
ship duty in the far east.

deceased author, critic, poet and dlplomatist

Foreign Reports Send Grain Up-Excitemen
in the Market

in the Market
CHfcAeo, August 14-The wheat market was
still in a very nervous and excited state today,
fucfuating wildly and sometimes without APP
parent reason. There was occasion for at least
part OF the early advance in the higher
cables. but no discoverable adequate reason
for the sudden drop following it, though the
realizing of profits on the rise may have had
something to do with it
The board of trade and LiverpooA cables
reported California spot wheat up one penny
and RED winter two pence, while futures were
strong and half penny higher. London cargoes,
for prompt shipments, however, were six
pence off.
December wheat here opened with bids at IS
and over against 955s at the close yesterday
ana the price jumped by halves and quarters
to wa. Then it dropped rapidly to 97IS. grew
quiet and recovered TO 9sh.
Corn sympathized to a minor degree with
tember opened at $50 against 5sX at the close
Yesterday and sold up to 591S, broke TO 50 and
Provisions also followed wheat at a distance.
September pork opened "a Up at $50, broke
with wheat to $50 and rallied to the opening
price.
The gold and stock report says that in the ex-
citefnent at the opening sales Of December
wheat were made as low as Sc Is and as high as
w. all within one minute. This is given as an IL
lustration Of the wildness Of the market at the
start.
After 10 o'clock the market waarather quiet,
though good trade continued to be done.
December sold off to Fa4 and at II o'clock was
quoted at 975e. September corn sold down to
81. rallied some, weakened under light trad
ing and at IL o'clock was quoted at 5ss4. Rye
opened at SO and sold up to $50. Provisions
remained dull and steady
Wheat remained comparatively steady around
9'esa9'34 till afternoon. Then without any ap-
parent cause the crowd got scared and began
to buy, putting the price up to 1914. Corn and
pork are strong with wheat. the former selling
at 599s a59s%, and the latter at 80.
Los pm.-December wheat is now 81 per

The Heunenin Canal.

The matter Of the location Of the west end Of
the Illinois and Mississippi (Hennepin) canal 10
still being agitated. Yesterday there was re-
ceixed at the War Department long commu-
nication from a prominent lawyer at Rock
Island, ILL.,, who contended that the location
for the canal was permanently fixed on the
north side Of Rock river before the appropriation
act of 1880, and that the later determination to
locate it on the south side is an unreasonable
and unauthorized change. He also held that
the south side location brings the western
terminus of the canal on low ground subject
to large overdows and ice gorges difficult and
expensive of access by railroad or teams,
and that it 10 doubtful whether it 10 &C.
cessible by boats on the Mississippi river. On
the other hand, he held the north side location
terminates at natural harbor nearer the cities
of Rock Island, Davenport and Moline and &C.
cessible by land and by the Mississippi river.

ENGLISH CLERGY ALARMED.
The Radicals Desire to Make Disestablisli-
ment an Issue.


ment an Issue.
LONDON, August 14.-The Church of England
clergy are much alarmed by the evident
anxiety Of the radical faction Of liberals to
make disestablishment an issue in future cleo
tions. The government and clergy were sur
prised at the strength Of the opposition in the
closing hours of parliament to the clergy
discipline bill, and this opposition is
now reflected and reinforced in nom
conformist and liberal gatherings throughout
the country. This measure was intended to
make it easy for bishops to get rid Of u minis
ter who had been guilty OF degrading crime.
At present a clergyman convicted of offense
that may utterly destroy his usefulness and
serving In prison under sentence can still re-
main rector of a parish, and instances of the
kind have been witnessed. While the church
ami government have desired to put an
end to this scandal the radicals have refused
to agree to the measure, preferring apparently
that the church should suffer dlshonor in order
to make the public Disguised with the spectacle
aud anxious for the disestablishment. At
present there are several disgraced clergymen
who have served time on the treadmill in charge
Of English pulpits and they cannot be got rid
OF under the existing law. The Lonconformist
bodies also oppose the free education act for a
similar reason. They believe it gives too much
that it would tend to strengthen the hold OF
the church upon the people.
Meantime the clergy are not inactive and prep
arations are being made to carry on an aggres-
sive campaign in behalf OF the church at the
next general election before which it is believed
that parliament will have an opportunity TO
pass the discipline bill
