New York, Oct. 31.-Money In Wall
street Friday morning opened at 100
per cent. and soon dropped to 30 per

predominate in everything in the way

a few DAYS at best. In 1891. just pre-
vious TO the assassination of President
Garfield, money ranged for twenty
days around $50 and $50 per cent pre-

commanding proportions. But what of
naval stations? Are there 10 be none OF
these? Secretary Herbert evidently has
given this matter some thought, as was to
be expected, and as be does not see any
chance Of acquiring q coaling station from
any foreign government, though we have
had several offered to us, be is going 10
try what he can do at home. On the
recommendation OF a board appointed by
him TO exa mine Key West and Dry Tortugas,
with reference TO their respective suitable
ness as coaling stations, he will urge upon
Congress the appropriation of an amount
sufficient 10 establish such one at the
last named place. 1t is estimated that a
complete naval station can be established
at Dry Tortugas for from $780, 600 to
ST0O 600, exclusive of dry dock, which
would probably cost much again.
This would at least be beginning and
Congress will hardly refuse to make an
appropriation for SO necessary an object
One naval station, Of course, will not
be sufficient, especially one so near our
own shores, but others viii probably be
added i'll time. Meanwhile, a half loaf

Coast Defenses and Naval Stations.

A fairly good start has been made in
the direction of Il system of coast de-
fenses. The Secretary of War VIII have
between eleven and twelve million dollars
available, for though only about one-half
of this amount has been appropriated, the
Secretary is authorized TO make contra cts
to the amount of the other half. This
viii enable him to prosecute work in the
gun-making and other branches OF coast
defense construction, a nd no doubt is
entertained that at tie first session of the
Fifty-fifth Congress report can be made
showing substantial progress. The total
cost Of effective coast defense, as clasSi-
fled in the Squires bill, is placed at about
SS7 100000, but the amount computed
by the fortifications board is somewhat
in excess OF one hundred millions. As
suming the latter TO be the amount uiti-
mately required, it will be seen that with
an annual appropriation like the one now
granted, the whole important work can
be completed in ten years.
Thus it appears that the long wished for
system of coast defenses is TO become a
reality at last, and by the time it is all
finished our navy Will also have reached
