LIFEBOAT DRILL.

The Victoria disaster is bringing out
much interchange of thought upon the
defects of ship construction and hand
ling, and the means of saving life.-
These mammoth ships when under
headMay have not power enough to
slacken their impetus at will. or within
short distance. and they are so very
ponderous that they do not pay ready
heed to the rudder. But the surprising
feature of it all is the fact, which is re-
veaIed in England. that the navies of
the world have given hardly thought
to lifeboat drill. Though it was fifteen
minutes before the Victoria sank, the
sailors were unable to get the lifeboats
loose and ahoat. It can be readily be-
lieved that this was due purely to
want of training in handling these
boats.
There is general public feeling that
the officers of our great ocean grey
hounds. which are plying between
Europe and America with not less than
1000 passengers aboard each, have paid
as little attention to drilling the sailors
in the use of the lifebOats as have the
naval officials. Should Two of these
mammoth passenger ships collide in
mid ocean, the chances are 100 to that
both would sink within few minutes.
The lives of those aboard would DEEPER nd
wholly upon the dexterity of the sailors
in getting the lifeboats afloat. Should
one of them going at twenty knots an
hour strike another in the side amid
ships, it would very surely cut the other
in two, and the two halves would sink
probably within minute.
Itisvery clear that in this day of rapid
ocean transit the lifeboat arrangement
and management is matter of the ut
most Importance. The evolution in ship
building has made the ocean wave harm
less; but the great speed which has
been developed affords new and great
er danger than the old. The ships of
the past collided sometimes. but there
was seldom serious result from a col
liSion. But collision now would al
most surely mean the loss of 1000 or
more lives. Now. that invention has
conquered the wave. and solved the
problem of speed. it should be directed
at once to the matter of life-Saving APP
pliances. Methods of unloosing the
lifeboats with the least delay possible
should be devised, and the sailors should
be drilled thoroughly in setting the
boats free aud manning them. The
sinking of a great ship causes an ire
sistible suction hence it Is necessary
that the Hfeboats shall be clear from
the point of suction before the ship goes
down.
The steamship companies should take
the pains to set the public mind ut rest
upon this subject with as little delay as
possible.

DRAMATIC COMMENT.

The Wilburs' mastery presentation OF
.'Falkar at the Metropolitan last night re
ceiyed the hearty approval of.an unusually
large audience. The bright, catchy airs that
have long since become familiar TO every
household were sung in manner that al
most defed criticism, aud the performance
moved along in that brisk, smooth manner
peculiar to all Wilbur productions.
The piece was handsomely staged.
the costumes were superb and the
excellent work OF the chorus showed careful
training and abundant rehearsal.
Miss Kirwin's Falka was charming in every
sense. f'he pretty airs allotted to her were
beautifully sung, and her acting was cute
and spirited 1t was but another of her
many successes. Miss Mortimer took good
advantage of several opportunities. and sang
with most pleasing effect. A steady i'm
provement is noticeable in this handsome
young lady, and she has made herself one Of
the popular favorites'' Mr.. Clark made q
dashiDg. vigorous brigand, and his
magnificent voice was allowed per-
feet freedom once or twice. His
acting is always good and his entire per-
Torrance more than pleasing. Mr.. CorleY's
versatility was excellently shown in the
many roles he was called upon to assume.
His singing opportunities. though limited,
are choice, and he was very pleasing. Mr..
Donnelly's Pelican was original, funny
and entirely satisfactory. and Mr.. Kohnle
did very we'll in the character of FoIbach.
Miss Hamilton's dashing performance and
handsome appearance as Konrad were par
ticularly pleasing and Miss Taylor, as usual,
pleased the audience. The piece was SPLEEN
didly given throughout. 1t will be repeated
this and tomorrow evening, with Wednesday
matinee. On Thursday evening FRA
Diavolo'' will be produced and continue for
the balance of the week.

Jacob Lifts players are outdoing their gen
eral excellence in presenting at the Grand
opera house a charming drama, entitled
"The Planters Wife" 1t was delightfully."-
entertaining, with only just enough of war
memories to sustain the remarkably well
conceived plot. The bright, attractive
scenery enhances its beauty beyond what is
generally expected in drama, but upon the
players rested the honor of carrying their
work through SO that the audience found
frequent occasions for applause. The four
actresses of the play are handsome, vivacious
and professionally excellent. Their varied
costumes are as beautiful as the drama is de-
lightful. Seldom have people better suited
to their lines been here than these.
Most of the six gentlemen have lines enough
SO that the audience feels their personality,
and from the leading man clear through to;
the treacherous friend they do not fail in
artistic rendition. Pleasing from the first,
the Planters Wife gains with the audience at
every point of progress. and the ladies were
particularly extravagant in their praise when
the curtain fell for the last time last night.
The theater itself was cool and pleasant. Its
general attractiveness needs no comment"

FRESNO, CAL, June 30 The Loan

SHERMAN LAW A FAILURE.
It Has Not Accomplished What It's Sanguine
Advocates Promised, and It Is High
Time for It's Repeal.
ENORMOUS LOSSES BEING CAUSED BY 1T.

! Newport (R. II News.
Z According to the tables publis he'd in
1.-THE New York Herald the securities
listed on the New York exchange have
fallen in value within a single year over
S770U.o00,000, while stocks, bonds and
sotfer evidences of wealth in the hands
nofthe people which are not dealt in on
: the exchange have fallen off to still
larger amount.
AS these securities are largely held by
banks and institutions for savings. the
loss is so widely distributed as to reach
almost every business man and even
the laboring classes, as well as bankers
and capitalists. The farmers wheat,
which last June sold at about 80 cents
abushel, has fallen during the present
month below 65 cents, and if the exist
ing prices continue crop of 500, 900. 600
bushels will sell at loss as compared
with last year of over S100, 1000 OO Corn
has fallen 10 cents bushel, which, on
crop of 1000, 100000 bushels. is eeulva7-
lent to a loss of S160,000,00O.
These are startling figures, but even
this is not all. Pig iron has fallen from
81 10 % cents TON, the promising TIN
industry has collapsed, and 1t is only by
the operation of trusts and combina--
tons that several mining and manfact-
uring industries are not at deaths door.
And these trusts cannot long endure
againot the logic of events such as is
forcing itself on public attention.
For all this there is little hope of re-
lief until congress shall revise our pres
ent legislation affecting currency and
trade. President Cleveland cannot call
our legislators together too soon and
submit to them the sound views on
these subjects which he is known to
hold. While it is true that this admins
tration is in no wise responsible for the
present condition of things, 1t is clearly
charged with the responsibility of pro-
viding a remedy, and by so doing check
ing the downward tendency of affairs.

Now is the time for increasing the

mine owners will struggle uselessly
when congress meets to retain the anom-
alous legislation which has already
caused such great injury to business
and monetary interests. Congress should
be made to feel the pressure of public
opinion so that when it comes together
1T will lose no time in attacking a law
that. If it ever were useful, has so far
passed beyond the stage of usefulness
as to be only an instrument of financial
and business disturbance.

Shrinkage In Values Due to Dis.
trust Caused by the silver Law.

Madison (WlS.) Times
The New York Herald has compiled
a table showing the shrinkage in value
during the last year of active securities
on the New York stock exchange. 1t
estimates that the regular fist of
securities are selling on basis of $780,
600, 900 less than they were year ago.
This does not embrace state, county,
town or city securities, shares OF banks
and of manufacturing. mining or trad
ing corporations. or any depreciation in
real estate value or the decline i'm the
prices OF natural products. This shrink.
age the Herald properly charges in
large part to the distruSt created by the
Sherman silver law. and it rightly says:
'The country would be better off if
every ounce of silver bought under the
Sherman law had been thrown into the
Atlantic instead of being stored with
notes issued against it,
