THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

The outlook for a good Sp-ipg trade In
the coming year Is better today than II
has been in several weeks past. The
quantity OF ready money awaiting busi-
ness opportunities Is so great that goo
bonds have now nearly reached their for
mer values and temporary Investments in
these securities are so scarce that dividend
paying railway stocks have shared In
their rise in price.
While cotton remains cheap, the price
of print hs Is encourapirG, when the
great competition among th nils Is con-
sidered. The falling of IN '.'ports during
the Summer ensures a sma.i supply OF
goods in the market. The S. ruttlng down
OF so many domestic mills dU.inc the Il
nancial crisis is another factor in favor OF
competition among buyers leading to
higher prices. The earnings OF several
Western railroads have shown Of late that
the business OF transportation is revIving.
These things taken together lead to the
conclusion that we are sure OF at least
moderately active business as soon as the
present Winter is at an end.

PLURALITY ELECTIONS.

There ought TO be no doubt as TO the

no good reason why Rhode Island should

dozen exceptions ell the States in the
Union elect their officers by q plurality

fallen into line there is everywhere a
marked expression 10 favor OF change.
The time was when the votres in this
country were divided into two great par
ties, and men voted accordingly. Tha, is
a coudition which no longer exists. There
are now Democrats and Repu blicans, Pro.
hibtionists and Populists, labor reform.
ers and socialists, all crowding into the
election contests, and each striving for
the mastery. And as II this we're not
enough, we are often frequently met by
citzens' tickets, aud nomination papers,
and even then there is more or less
scratching on ali sides and in each party.

CHICAGO. October l0-This day at the
exposition promises to be the next largest
to Chicago day IN point of attendance,
though there Is no special attraction outside
of the North Dakota celebration
Thousands of people were lined outside the
gates at 10 o'clock and the jam in front OF
the ticket offices was as great as yesterday
because there were no souvenir tickets TO
be purchased In advance. There were prob
ably 10000 on the grounds at 10 O'Clock.
This was the first day for the directors

children, twelve years of age and under.
and thousands of little ones came with their
parents and other relations to see the fair.
The troubles of the exposition employees
at the children's gates were increased by
the attempt made to get boys and girls over
the maximum age In the grounds for a
dime, instead of % cents. Children were
turned back crying. while their parents de-
nounced the gate keepers in all languages.

ly decorated, and hundreds of people from

sembled inside to meet. Gov. Shortridge and

Hons, Letter Boxes.

Honorable Frank Il. Jones. first assistant
postmaster general. has written letter
to Postmaster General W. s Bissell. in the
matter of the application OF the Postal I'm
provement Company for a revocation of the
order of Nav "a. 1888. which suspended the
order establishing the house letter box for
the collection and delivery of mail Mr..
Jones states that he has heard the argu-
nents of the officers Of the Postal Improve
ment Company. and recommends that the
order of May 81 be not revoked. The Pos
tai Improvement Company withdraws its
request for the issuance of an order such as
that named in the communication OF May
8. heretofore referred to in The Star, and
requests the issue Of an order restoring that
one suspended. excepting that householders
shall supply their own boxes: that boxes
shall be erected where the call discs may be
seen from the street. and that postmasters
shall encourage the erection OF boxes. and
direct carriers to collect from them when
ever in delivering mail they shall pass such
boxes Mr. Jones states that he is in re-
ceipt of two reports of practical tests given
the boxes. which are in the main favorable.
but he is not satisfied that their general
use would insure saving of time and ex-
pense- While the Post Office Department
would incur no cost as to the boxes direct
". Yet If they did not prove more satisfac-
tory Gan in tests reported they might be
an expense to the department in overtime

tnat the box is at best an experiment, and
lie would therefore recommend that the or

Big Battle Ships.

Probably the most important event in the
history of the navy in the next two years
will be the launching and completion of the
battle ship Oregon. She is under construc-
ton by the Union Iron Works of San Fran
cisco and will take her initial dip into the
water about the last Of this month. The
Oregon is one of the three battle ships
authorized by Congress two years ago, the
other two being the Indiana and Massachu-
sets, which We're launched from the
Cramps yard al Philadelphia this summer
These three will be the most powerful ad-
ditions the navy has had. and represent the
highest state of efficiency OF vessels of their
class. The fourth battle ship. Iowa, is over
a thousand tons larger. and will be the
leviathan of the service. She was laid
down last November. and will not be COM
pleted for four years. The Oregon has been
reported ready to the depa -tment for
launching. and will take the water in a few
weeks. Miss Dolph, daughter of the Oregon
Senator, ', i'll probably ehristen her.

MAKING PROJECTILES.
The United States Turning Them Out
of Superior Quality.


Recent tests at Indian Head and Sandy
Hook are considered by ordnance experts
as having satisfactorily solved the problem
Of projectiles as well as the problem of
armor and guns. The recent trials at
Sandy Hook have demonstrated that this
country. which five years ago had never
manufactured single armor- piercing pro-
jectile, has now two independent sources of
supplying such shells, one for the forts and
the other for the ships. The projectiles
thus made are equal. If not superior, to pro-
jectiies made by the same systems in any
part of the world. A nine-inch nickel-steel
plate at Sandy Hook was cieanly perforut-
ed by two eight-inch shells made by the
Midvafe Steel Company on the Hotter sys-
tenn. One of them was recovered, practic-
ally perfect in shape, the point being sharp
and instruments being required to detect
the upset" which amounted 10 only five
thousandths of an inch. Under a severe test
this America n-made Hotter projectile
showed that ii was practically uninjurel
At Indian Head American twslve-inch
shells made by the Carpenter Steel Compa-
ny, on the FiTming system, had previously
attacked Bethlehem seventeen inch nickel
steel plate. One of them penetrated sixteen
and half inches. a second went beyond
the rear of the plate, while the third, with
high charge, passed through both plate
and backing. The two former were recov-
cred and were pronounced to be uninjure1,
the point of one remaining still sharp.
Army and navy officers are very enthuSi-
astic over these results.

Mr.. Marshall had recollections Of the eth

other crank and might put his threats into
execution he used a beer bottle with good
effect. Curtin turned his head as the bot
tie came through the air toward him and
in an instant his scalp was laid open. He
fell forward and cut his lip. Blood was

LOWER CALIFORNIA.
1t Has Not Been Purchased by a Syn
dictate.

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 1O.-A representa-
tive of the Mexican Land Co., at present in
this city. was last evening asked If he had
heard the report that Lower California
had been purchased by syndicate and
would be annexed by the United States
government. The company with which he
Is connected has a grant Of 100000 acres
from the Mexican government and he
stated that the reported purchase had no
foundation whatever.
This report he said, may possibly re-
fer to what is known as the Hale conces-
sion of one and half million acres below
us, but as for our sections, we have no
idea of selling and could make no sale with
out the consent of the Mexican govern
ment'
LONDON. Oct. 10.-The representative In
this city of the United Press today saw
Baron de Worms in connection with the
story that syndicate had purchased Lower
California from the Mexican government
with the intention of shortly having that
country Incorporated into the American
Union.
Baron de Worms name was mentioned
in the story as one of the leaders in the
movement. When questioned today on the
subject he said that be had never heard
of the syndicate and the report that he
was in any way connected with 1t was
entirely Unfounded.
