Naval Apprentices Deserving.

Another extraord mary scene of disorder
has just been witnessed at the United
States training station at Newport. II. /.
During the last few months there has been
instances Of boys deserving in groups, show
ing evident discomfort at the present
method of treatment there. Some time
ago an article was published giving Capt
Bunce's idea of governing the station, es-
pecially with reference to not allowing
naval apprentices under his command to
leave the military reservation there 1t is
now nearly 12 months since he assumed
command there. and during that time not
single days leave has been given to the
apprentices there. The boys are deserving
at every opportunity. One of four boys
who deserted was taken back by
police officer which aroused the
boys against the officer and a
large gang of naval apprentices as
sembled and stoned the police officer I'M
mercifully. One stone struck him on the
head, inficting so severe wound that he
had to be taken to the naval hospital on
the island for medical treatment. The
boys then quickly dispersed and up to the
present the ringleaders had not been dis
covered, and under present conditions are
not likely to be.

volume OF business continues to surpass all
previous records.
Gaining but little, and yet gaining, at
least over last year, and falling behind
only about l per cent at the south in the
aggregate, Notwithstanding the great de-
preston In the price OF cotton. the volume
OF trade has been over 10 per cent greater
than in any other year in the west, though
on the Pacific slope some dec, ease appears.
That collections are on the whole satlsfact-
DRY. the condition OF the money markets
and reports from other cities clearly show.
In all parts OF the country the supply of
money Is abundant, but the demand is not
especially active. Speculation in bread

Both receipts and exports OF cotton fall

WASHINGTON, May 3.-The secretary
of the navy has issued instructions to
the naval and revenue marine vessels
assigned to enforce the modus prohib-
ting sealing in Behring Sea. These
instructions differ from those of last
year in three important particulars.
First, any vessel found sealing in Beh-
ring Sea is to be seized whether or not
she has been previously served with
notice. Second, the mere presence of
vessel in Behring Sea, having on
board sealing outfit, is cause for
seizure. Third, all persons on board
the vessels seized are to be sent as
prisoners with the vessel to suffer the
penalty of the law. Under the British
law all persons killing, or aiding or
abetting in killing fur seals in Behring
Sea are punishable by fine Of e1OO
and imprisonment at hard labor for
six months. Under the American law
they are subject to six months impris-
cnment and fine of $1,000.

wha has been confined in the Jackson
prison for over 30 years and who had
expected to end his days within the
prison walls, was yesterday pardoned
by Governor Winans upon the recon-

recommend for a pardon for Bates was
signed by Judge Turner, who presided
at the trial and sentenced the prisoner
and Hon. S. b. Gaslill, of Lapeer, who
was then prosecuting attorney. Both

Com bine OF Electrical Companies.

A gigantic electric combination has been
effected by the Thompson Houston and
Edison companies. The former which is
capitalized ut $40. 600, 900 and the latter at
sl5, 600, 900, will be operated after May /,
by the General Electric Co., with capital
OF $50, 900, 900. The combination was
brought about through the fundamentally
of the Vanderbilts and Drexel, Morgan

object Is said to be absorption of all the
electric light and power companies in the
country. New York will be the head
quarters of the new concern, where the
present Edison building will be used for
the united plant thus saving the expense
attached to separate establishments. This
policy will be pursued wherever the two
corporations have hitherto been in compe-
tition.
