dressed. The elegance and va
rie:v of new dress goods, was
seen on every hand. Goods were
never so pretty as they a'c this
season. All the merchants cialh

an executive department against the abuse
of official position in the matter of private
financial transactions was the one issued
by Secretary Carlisle today.

HIGH SCHOOL MUsKETS.
The Bond for Them Not Chnrgeable to
the District.

The District Commissioners recently
wrote to Controller Bowler of the Treas
ury Department asking whether the ex-
pense of securing a guaranty company to
become surety upon the bond required
by tie joint resolution of February ., 1891,
to be given to the Secretary of War when
ever ordnance or ordnance stores are IS
sued for military instruction and practice
by students of the High School of Wash
ingtCn, District of Columbia" may be Paid
from the appropriation for the contingent
expenses of the publ, schools of the Dis
trict
Controller Bowler replied today as fol-
lows:
The requirement of bond is a some
what peculiar one, If it was intended that
the ordnance stores should be issued for
use by the High Scnool for school rur-
poses. 1t is ID be noticed that the Joint
resolution does not require that the stores
shall be issued 10 the principal of the
school, or In fact, to any public officer of
the District.
1t is hardly to be presumed that Con-
sresS "ouid nave required u bond for these
ordnance stores If it was intended that The
expense OF procuring such. a bond should
be charge against the appropriations for
the expenses OF the public schools of the
Dlstrlct. Inc case is somewhat similar to
the requirement that n disbursing officer
shall give bond before having moneys
placed In his hands for disbursements In
such cases the expense of giving the bond

In my opinion, therefore. the expense is
not properly chargeabl.e to said appropria-

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, December 1.-The
fighting cruiser Brooklyn, the ne vest aldi
tion to the United States navy, was toweI
from the Cramps ship yard to League
Island navy yard today, arriving at her
new dock shortly before noon. Later in
the day the ship was formally placed in
commission.
The day was clear and bright and the
great white cruiser received a fine ovation
as she proceeded slowly down the Della
ware past the docks and shipping of this
city. Blowing Of whistles, ringing of bells
and the shouts OF thousands gathered en-
the boats and docks marked her progress.
There was nobody on board the cruiser
except Capt. r. W. Sargent, who repre-
sented the Cramps, and few workmen to
nelp dock the ship. Upon arriving at the
navy yard Capt. Sargent turned the ship
over to Commodore j. w. Howell, the COM
mandant of the yard, who gave to Capt.
Sargent a typewriter receipt for the 5000
ton cruiser reading:

Sons Ship and Engine Building Company,

sailors were lined up for a salute to their
commander and the Brooklyn was ready to
take her place at the head of the navy.
About 325 of the Brooklyn's regular crew
of 800 men are now quartcred at the navy
yard. They will live regularly on board

centuatcd and magnlfed 1t was seen at
the last session that il was not 4 good hill
This is even more apparent now. Some Of
the interests that favored it before are
now opposed TO ii. Consplcuously, the wool
growers are opposing ii.
IF an attempt Is made to pass the bill
the suspicion will be strengthened that ii

lation for the present. II in effect Is gen
eral tariff bili number of interests would
be content to stop with ii. they are
amply provided fer. Ii another bill Were

mere than six months to run. and business
would have Lo time TO adjust itself to one
set of new conditions before another would
be forced upon them"
How about the proposition for a commits
sion to work or an International agreement
on silver?' was asked.
Il will repeat what some of the folks
on the other side have said-'An interna-
tlonal agreement is but an irideScent
dream. 1t has been said by some of the
antl-sllver people that the agitation of the
free coinage question delays International
agreement. That is mere assertion. We
have the facts and history for it that
every effort toward interna tional agree
ment has been an injury to silver. No
movement of that sort is in the interest of
silver.
Senator Cannon said that he regarded
Senator Dubois reelection as assured.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
1t Is Practically Completed ExceD,
the Portion ON the Cuban Situatian

the Portion ON the Cuban Situation
AS there will be but one more regular
meeting Of the cabinet before the assem-
bling of Congress next Monday all the
members were present at todays meeting
to discuss those portions of the Presidents
message relating to the business of their
respective departments. With one import
ant exception the message Is now practi-
cally complete and awaits only a few fin
ishing touches. The exceptions noted con-
Germs the treatment of the Cuban oues-
tion. In the natural order of things, this
subject, coming under the head of foreign
relations. would occupy prominent place
near the beginning of the message, and so
might be expected to receive early treat
ment at the hands of the President There
however, notwithstanding several efforts
have been made to close it up for the
ranging phases of the campaign now in
progress in Cuba have made 1t necessary to
change considerably the views which the
President and the Secretary of State de-
sire to lay before Congress in that connec-
ton. 1t probably will not be until the end
of the week, and at the very last moment
that the missing paragraph will be sup
piled. OF course. any expression of opinion
to the nature of the Presidents views
are purely speculative at present, but so
far there can be found no warrant for the
assumption that he has determined upon
any radical change in the policy to be pur-
sued by the administration in regard to the
matter.
