his order. but without success. They
nave been loading steamers Gibarara by
lighters, from the above named ports. nee
essitating delay and extra expense for
towage and their losses have been so
heaVy that they decided yesterday to cease
me shipment OF bananas from their Gu
ban plantations, which practically means
that no more bananas will be received at
United States ports from Cuba for some
time TO come.
The large fleet OF steamers engaged In
the Cuban banana trade is consequently
without "a charter. and those now in Gu
ban waters have been ordered north In

The action OF the Dumois Bros. was
not unexpected by local fruit importers.

losses the firm has sustained since the

The effect upon the banana market will
probably be to Increase the price OF fruit

GREAT THE METAPHORS.
How the PODulist Boy Orators Are
Trying TO Initiate Bryan.
St. Louis Globe-Democrat (Rep).

st. Louis Globe Democrat (Rep).
Shooting the chute from the sublime to
the ridiculous is becoming frequent with
Mr.. Bryan's friends. The crown of
thorns and the cross of gold" business
opens up great possibilities in that dIrec-
ton. He was a leader of the populists of
Missouri who concluded an impassioned
speech in the Sedalia convention with:
You shall not thrust the dagger of sus-
picion through the intervals in this crown
of thorns."
The orator was repelling the insinuatlon
that there was any danger OF Tom Wat
son being thrown by the democrats in the
proposed fusion.
Mr.. Bryan having set the pace, his emo
tional followers are bound to indulge in
fantastic and sacrilegious use of Biblical
metaphors and Illustrations. 1t was at
the Sedalia convention that delegates
cried out "Ameni amenr' to such declar-
ations for political reform as appealed
especially to them. One orator, somewhat
mixed as to his Biblical recollections,
shouted at the close of his thrilling pero-
ration:
Il tell you, brethren, the golden calf
must come down off his roost."
Another, in placing his candidate before
the convention, said:
Gentlemen, the man / am about to
name has withstood what is, in my opin-
ion, the strongest test OF loyalty to popu-
ism. You remember the story of Job
You recall how he was tried and tempted
by the loss of friends and of property.
What was inflicted upon him finally as
the supreme test, as the straw which
was to break his back?"
"Boils," bawled a delegate in a rear
seat
mo, brother" said the speaker, you're
wrong. 1t was when his wife turned
against him that Job was called upon to
meet the supreme test. Brethren, the
candidate am about to offer you has met
that test of Job. He is a popullst, not
Withstand the opposition of his wife. His
name is Oscar Woods of Charlton"

A NEW OCEAN RECORD.
IL Is Not for Speed. hut for ExtraOr-
binary SIOwncss.

From the New York Tribune.
Records on sea and land are being
smashed right and left just now. The
weather makes the whiting record of the
previous day only round in the ladder
of sweltering discomfort. and steamships
like the American liner ST. Louis are
making and breaking records weekly. But
II remained for that marine fossil. the
British steamship Persis which arrived
in port on Saturday night. to distinguish
herself by crawling past Sandy Hook
after making one of the slowest voyages
recorded in modern times. She created as
much interest among marine people as
If she had been the fieetest greyhound of
the Atlantic. The British ship would
put to shame a Broadway cable car in
the matter of slow progression.
She left Iloilo. in the Philippine Islands,
on April a. under the command of Capt.
Mcdonald, with "A cargo of sugar for the
American Sugar Refining Company. on
May she sailed from Singapore, stopped
at Perrin on June 6, and passed Port Said
on June is. on July she left behind
her the Rock of Gibraltar, and twenty
five days later Capt. Mcdonald had to
put into Bermuda to renew his supply OF
coal which had been consumed In a vain
attempt to cross the Atlantic and keep
the vessel out Of her own way. As one
of the crew conhdentially told a Tribune
reporter. the Persis just managed to keep
dnedu Oh neT own Wdhes ana instead OF
keeping a watch from the bow, the look
out was stationed at the stern.
Judging from her log, this marine won
der made almost as much sternway as
she did Roadway. The crew heaved a sigh
Of relief when she finally made Delaware
Breakwater on Friday. She then rapidly
steamed at the rate of three knots an
hour into this port. Capt Mcdonald Is
not especially proud Of his vessel, even
when she Is at her best, but he explained
yesterday, In a shamefaced way, that she
had been known to cover eight knots an
hour Just now however, he said, the
steamers bottom was fouled. and conse-
quently she had to carry a lot of freight
that was not down on her manifest.
The shippers cup Of humiliation was
filed to overlooking by the fact that the
clipper ship A. J. Fuller, which left Iloilo
only three weeks before him. under com
mand Of Capt. Concord, went around the
Horn and then beat him into port. The
sailing ship had landed her cargo, also
of sugar, before her steam rival, which
had cut Off much Of the distance from
Iloilo by going through the Suez canal
Capt Mcdonald will probably approach
the maritime exchange to-day with fear
and trembling. for. the deep-sea shippers
are likely TO give him several unpleasant
quarters of an hour.
