MARE ISLAND NAVY YARD.
Captain Howison Has Been Designated as
Commandment.

Captain Howison Has Been Designated as
Commandment.
WASHINGTON, July 12.-Secretary Her
bert has taken action in two cases of i'm
portance concerning navy yard COM
mands. He has decided to make perma-
nent the suspension OF orders to Com
modore Kirkland to take command of the
south Atlantic station and will allow him
to remain IN command of League Island,
Pennsylvania, navy yard. This will
probably result in sending Com
modore Staunton to the south
Atlantic station. The secretary lalso
today issued an order making Cap
tain Howison commandant of the Mare
Island, California, navy yard. The
captain has been in temporary
command for some time and it was fully
expected that he would be relieved by a
naval officer of the rank Of commodore in
view of the Importance of the command
and desirability of the place, but Secre-
ta-y Herbert determined, by two facts, in
reaching the conclusion to keep Captain
Howison in command.
In the first place the people and news
papers on the Pacific coast are united in
desire to have him retained, and in the
second place the report of the Matthew'S
naval board, which made close exam
ination of the workings OF the yard, spoke
so highly of the efficiency of the command
ant and Naval Constructor Taylor as to
justify what might be regarded as q de-
parture from presidents in the case.

The Viking Ship Welcomed with a. Great
Demonstration.
CHICAGO, July 12.-The day opened
clear and hot at the World fair grounds,
but later refreshing breeze from the
lake sprang up and the turnstiles were
kept busy registering admissions.

city and Worlds fair officials, and promi
nent citizens. The Viking was sighted

cession to the fair grounds. OFF Van
Buren, street, Mayor Harrison went on

and crew the freedom OF the city. Then
amid chorus of cheers, blowing of
whistles and booming of cannon the fleet
proceeded to the park, and on arrival the
visitors were escorted to the administra-
ton building, where they were welcomed
by exposition officials.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
James Palmer of GrantsvilIe shoots Him.
self with Revolver.

self with a Revolver.
EVANSVILLE, Utah. July 12.-LSpec-
iaI. Just before noon today MILFORD
Palmer, the 15-year-o son of James
Palmer of this place, attempted to take
his own life by shooting himself in the
breast with a SO calibre revolver. The
cause for the deed was that his father had
given him scolding. The facts are as
follows:
This morning young Woodruff with an
elder brother were sent to do some work
a short distance from home. Wilford,
who in some way had secured revolver,
amused himself by shooting at birds
and did not perform the task allotted him.
When they arrived at home at noon the
father upon learning that the work had
not been performed administered re-
proof to the boy for his neglect and then
with the older boy went to the house for
dinner.
AS soon as they got into the house Will
ford walked out to a hay stack and plac-
ing the revolver to his left breast fired,
inhicting a wound which will in all pro-
liability prove fatal. The bullet entered
his breast Just under the heart and passed
through, lodging in the spinal column on
the left side. Medical aid was at once
summoned and all that was possible was
done for the wounded boy. He was alive
at last accounts but the wound is pro-
nounced necessarily fatal.
The young man had heretofore made
threats that he would take his own life
and the reproof from his father furnished
the pretext.

SILVER PURCHASES.
Only About Sixteen Per Cent. of the
Regular Purchase Made This Month.

Only About Sixteen Per Cent. of the
Regular Purchase Made This Month.
WASHINGTON, July 12.-lt looks very
much as if the treasury Of the United
States would be compelled to do some
active work in order TO carry out the
provisions OF the Sherman law this
month. July is now almost half gone
and still the treasury has purchased only
a fraction more than 16 per cent. OF the
4 SOC, 600 ounces prescribed. The price
paid when the June purchases were COM
pleted was .S220 per ounce. On July
!. COO. 600 ounces were taken at 1900; next
day SIS, GOO ounces at 1920 was accepted,
and 100, 900 ounces were purchased Mon
day at .7I50. This completes the pur-
chases so far this month. The director
of the mint today made a counter propo-
sition on 375, 600 ounces, offered at prices
ranging from .72OO to 1850, IN which he
agreed to take silver at .7150.

Eastern Bankers Say the None
Sary Condition Is Easier.
THE FURRY IN STOCKS.
Nothing in the Outlook to Produce
Such an Unsettling.
Views of Leading Mercantile House in
Denver Regarding the Silver Question
in Colorado-The White Metal
in Panama.

NEW YORK, July 12.-Notwithstand-
ing the furry in the stock market today,
bank presidents and others occupying
positions familiarizing them with cur
rent conditions unanimously agreed that
the general situation has improved and
continues to do so. There was nothing
in the financial situation of the country
TO produce such an unsettling. Two or
three cases were reported today of coun-
try banks, mostly in Pennsylvania, COM
ing into this market as buyers of COM
mercial paper in a small way, tempted
thereto by the high rates and the fact
that they had money to their credit with
their New York agents. The amount OF
purchases in the aggregate is not large,
but it is believed to indicate an easier
monetary condition in certain sections of
s1he country.
The condition of the banks in Philadel-
phia was reported practically unchanged
and New York exchange only obtaina-
bic in that city at a high premium aver
aging about 8. 80 per 81. 900. Some Phil
adelphia banks have reduced the indebt-
edness to correspondents il this city, but
the balances are still large, the New York
banks, however, are treating them len
iently.
Regarding the silver question in the
west the president of a prominent down
town bank received the following letter
today from the head of leading mercan-
tile house in Denver, which has dealings
throughout the silver state:
SIN regard TO silver mining in the
state we caudidly believe the present sit
nation is very much exaggerated and
that as soon as there is any prospect OF
obtaining a definite price Tor silver a
great many of our mines will be operated
on as large a scale as formerly. This we
say on the supposition that the present
price OF silver, say rs cents per ounce, is
a reasonable price, as silver costs very
nearly this figure to produce. If the
price of silver should decline materially
below rs cents per ounce, there undoubt-
edly will be a curta emit of production
in this state, but bel sve as rule the
merchants will able t. pay their ac-
counts in full, ar the loss y the iobbel
ct any point IN this state ought
10 average a very low percentage.
The talk and threats ind llged in BY
a few rabid silveriteS IS, in our opinion
taken too seriously in the east. as the
parties who do most of the talking have
no credit or standing at home.''
Mail advices from Panama under date
of July 5, saws: ''The tumble in silver
has created general CONSERVATION among
business men who trade in countries
which are exclusively silver using com.
munities. The extent TO which the credit
system prevails throughout Spanish
America is unknown in the north and the
debtor who sees his resources diminished
by half through the sudden depreciation
OF the money he uses is inevitably forcet
to the wall"

sentiments in Public Speech

ARAIOR PLATE TESTS.
They Will Result in the Extension of the
Harvey Process.


WASHINGTON, July 12.-One important
result OF the armor plate contests yester-
day will be to extend the use of the Har-
vey process. Secretary Herbert is salts
fed with the tests as lar as they went, but
he reached the conclusion that while the
plates were as good as could be expected
from plain nickel steel, they did not show
the resisting power OF the Harvey nickel
steel plates. The contracts under which
the plates are made permit certain pieces
to be made of plain nickel steel. The rea :
son for this is that the Harvey process is
very difficult OF application to curved
plates or pieces of irregular form. But
Notwithstanding these practical difficult
ties, Secretary Herbert is determined that
the armor protection of our new ships
shall be of the highest resisting qualities,
and believing American ingenuity can
meet the requirements of the case, he will
insist hereafter that all plates shall be
treated by the Harvey process.

An Important Decision by SIonseignor

DENVER, July Prev T. Il. Malone,
editor of the Colorado Catholic, made
public today an important decision of

formation who had not for two years
previous at least been attending parish
school or some other Catholic school.
Bishop Matz is bitter opponent of Arch

Satolli has issued instructions charac-

Injurious measure which must be ignored,
and further that greater care and charity
are to be exercised in giving religious in
siructions and administering sacrament
