The trip of the American liner St. Paul
from Southampton to Sandy Hook In six
days and 81 minutes at an average speed
OF 21.0S knots an hour, emphasizes what
we pointed out yesterday, that the
Yankee built ships, the St Paul and her
sister, the st. Louis, are superior to any
thing afoat.
Nobody expects them to heat the Gun
srders Lucania and Campania. They are
not in the same class. hey may do 1t
some day, just as forty-foot yacht
might beat ffty-foot yacht without
the aid OF ner time allowance. But the
issue is not one OF beating all records.
The problem of the transatlantic service
is to secure efficiency The highest speed
possible with the greatest carrying power
and the most economical consumption
OF coal. The two big Cunarders, now the
only rivals of the American liners for
speed, are really not their equal in
efficiency. They do not so nearly repre-
sent the best solution OF the steamship
problem for to secure the slight super
iority in speed that tho Cuuarders hold,
there Is necessary a tremendous expondi-
ture OF coal, while carrying space Is
sacrificed disproprotionately to the extra
speed ,quired and the first cost OF the
huge ships was also too great Tor the ad-
vantage Of the extra speed TO max, them
the best examples to be followed IN future
construction.
In tho ship building contest up-to-date
America ia distinctly ahead of Great
Bri ain.

Terrell Attending to Business.

Washington, Aug. 15,-Touching Mr..
Terrells Intervention at Constanti-

ported to be naturalized American citi-
zens, IL is learned that there are at
present nine such prisoners at Aleppo.
Six OF these have produced their Amer
lean passports. and Mr.. Terrell has in
sisted upon their liberation. The three
remaining have not as yet been able to
produce thei: papers, and In the case OF
one Of them there is much doubt as TO
his naturalization. There is nothing
new in these cases. which are in line
with others wherein Mr.. Terrell has in
sisted that while the Turkish govern
ment might exercise the right to exclude
Turkish subjects who have expatriated
themselves, such persons, when natural
ized American citizens. shall not be

PARLIAMENT PROROGUED.
Main Points of the Queens Address Are
Decidedly -Committal.

London, Aug. 1.-THE queens speech
to the house OF commons at 6:15 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. The speech says:
My relations with the powers continue
to be friendly. The hostile movement
of the dervishes In the valley of the Nile
against the positions occupied by Italy,
east of the river, convinced me that IL
was necessary for Egypt to take steps
toward arresting their advance. By my
advice and sanction an expedition has
undertaken 10 restore TO the government
of the khedive. as far as Dongola, the
territory which was lost decade ago.
The operations of the expedition are
proceeding, and by the brilliant action
at Ferket large proportion Of the ter
ritory has already been recovered.
1.-THE condition of portions of Turkey
continues to cause anxiety, and at pres
ent Crete is the principal center of the
disturbances / have observed strict
neutrality, but in conjunction with the
powers / endeavored to reconcile the
contestants by proposing system which
should be equitable and cvslally accept
able to Christians and Mussulmans.
'T regret that a serious rebellion,
signalized with cruel murders, has
broken out in Matabeland; the rising
having extended into Mashonaland.
The work OF defense and repression
has been undertaken, the settlers dis
playing great courage. They have since
been re-enforced by imperial and other
troops"
The speech refers to the Matabele
country, and expresses hope that the
rebels will shortly accept the clemency
which has been offered to them.
Referring TO the matter of the delimita-
tion of the Indian frontier, the speech
says that the agreements between the
Shah OF Persia and the Ameer Of Afghan
istan upon the subject are friendly to the
Chitvals. Relief garrisons sent there
have received the cooperation of the
tribesmen.
Her majesty expresses her thanks to
the house OF commons for their pro-
visions and services for the year. and
concludes by saying that she has given
her consent, with pleasure, 70 the meas
ures for naval defenses, for lessenins
the agricultural taxes, for the protec-
ton of the cattle import from disease,
and measures for various other purposes.

only 6 inches deep" AS an essay on
bimetallism, the effort was distinctly
mediocre, sophomore. And the great
audience grew tired, and In troops
droves, regiments, brigades, the people
went out of the hall while BRYAN turned
the pages OF his manuscript, as If he
would never get to ''hnis."
New York was ready to pay its tribute
to BILLY BRYAN, even though it could
never subscribe to BRYAYIsM. But
BRYAN, poseur, an ctor. a seeker after
effects, was afraid TO trust himself TO
New York. He was afraid to produce in
New York the BRYAN of the Chicago
convention. And SO he tried to give New
York some other kind of a BRYAN and
he over-reachet in the attempt. New
York quickly recognized the sham and
New York has no use for shams, es-
pecial ly dull and stupid aud common
place shams.
And SO the spectacular introduction
of the Boy Orator Of the Platte "into
the enemy's country" was failure SO
complete as to be almost pathetic. The
whole plan of campaign is dished, ac-
cordingly. The kind of stuff that
BRYAN talked in Madison Square Garden
Is not the kind ho talks to the farmers Of
the West and the East does not want to
hear 1t any more than do the farmers,
because it Is fiat, false and dull. The
East is ready to listen To BRYAN, but
It will have no patience with any
attempts to "put on" for its benefit. 1t
wants to know the real man. whatever
he amounts to. 1t wants to test for it.
self the sort of a character il was that
stampeded the Chicago convention and
1t is willing 10 give BRYAN fair hear
ing. But although the farmers of the
West may be really impressed by the
BRYAN bluff, the Boy Orator has learned
the lesson that the East will not be
equally impressed by the BRYAN bun
combe. We want TO have the Same kind
OF bluff tried on us that we are told
works so well in some parts of the Nest.
Perhaps we may then judge for our
selves as to its power.

Expected Bracing Up In Domestic Srrads

Expected Bracing Up In Domestic rrads
Fails to Materiaiize.
New York, Aug. 15.-R. q. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review OF trade says An ex-
traordinary spell OF deadly hot weather
has affected trade throughout the coun-
try, and i'm the east speculative feeling
was somewhat affected until Thursday.
by apprehension of the possible influence
of the Bryan meeting. With cooler
weather there came also on Thursday
perception that the meeting would not
affect business unfavorably. But other
conditions were not stimulating. Ac-
cording to government reports the crops
have sustained serious injuries. Labor
difficulties extend, and the closing OF
establishments for want OF work, and
the refusal OF commercial loans by
banks, checked operations in many
branches OF industry and trade. The
week, therefore, closes as the last week
did. with domestic business unusually
dull for the season, measured by clear
ing house exchanges per cent smaller
than last year, and 1876 per cent smaller
than in the same week OF 1892. the last
year of full business at this season. The
government crop report for August was
so gloomy that a great rise In prices
would have followed IL ii had been en-
tirely credited. In fact. wheat rose
about u a cent, but again declined,
closing only a fraction higher for the
week. Corn declined throughout the
week, closing over cent lower. Cotton
advanced 1-l6th, because of continued
reports of injury.
1t Is wise to remember that the govern
ment accounts were based on returns
prior to the fearful spell Of heat, and
hence may be more nearly correct than
they were when prepared. But official
and unofficial estimates Of great decrease
in wheat yield are confronted with a
movement from the farms of 1850, 74l
bushels FOR the week, against 2,295242
last year, and II scarcely seems reason
ahle TO believe that 20.700.000 bushels
would have been marketed since July i,
.his year, against II, 1,625. .262 last year. IL
the yield had been smaller. with the
price 9 cents lower than a year ago. No
one now questions the probability OF a
very large yield of corn. But the advance
Of cotton s.12 caused large selling and
reaction, although turn upwards on
Friday took the price to $40, with moder-
ate trading.
The boot and shoe Industry is ap-
preaching the end of orders at hand, and
gradual advances in the prices asked
tend to the restriction of new orders,
which appears In other industries also.
but shipments from the east thus far
in August. are 10 per cent smaller than
last year in number of cases. Leather Is
scarcely changed in price, many of the
tanneries have ceased operations. but
hides are per cent lower for the week,
and have declined 17.43 per cent within
the last five weeks.
The woolen manufacture makes little
change, with not more than third Of
the machinery now running, and the de-
mand for goods does not improve, al
though prices of some import grades
have been further reduced.
Failures for the week have been 29S
in the United States, against 1876 last
year, and SO in Canada, against 80 last
year.
