The Armenia.

The United States owns one vessel
that stands by herself, that has no
counterpart in American waters. She
is the Armenia, the lighthouse supply
ship All the year she is busy carrying
oil to lighthouses on our coast, and not
only oil, but towels, wicks, brushes,
soap, brooms, cutlery, stationery-all
the things that the government sup
plies to lighthouses and their keepers.
The Armenia is q big white steamer with
yellow funnel and uniformed officers,
SO that you con tell from afar that she
is q government vessel, but she does not
belong to the navy; she is one Of the
great fleet controlled by the treasury
department and devoted to services
that have nothing to do with war.
There are about $50 light stations on
the Pacific coast and about 265 on the
great lakes. Oil is purchased in the
west for the lake stations, but gall the
rest are supplied from the government
depot on Staten Island. The OIL for
the Pacific coast is sent around the horn
in sailing vesselssand the Armenia car
ries all they need totall the rest of the
United States lighthouses. b,

Rough OIL the Senate.

ON English cousins do not seem to
have a very high opinion Of Secretary
Sherman. The Westminster Gazette
in a recent article expresses the opin-
ion that if Sherman should be forced
out Of the Cabinet he will make Ohio
hot for Senator Hanna" and adds:
at is awful to contemplate the
results of Mr.. Hanna being done ont
of his price for making Mckinley
President. Some innocents may Oh.
ject that if Sherman is too senile to
hold Office he must be too senile for
the Senate. but as a matter of fact no
one has yet estimated how inco npe-
tent u mar must be before the Senate
is closed to him. In this he shares
the the advantage of the House Of
Lords. We are rather sorry it Sec
rotary Sherman is to be superseded,
as in his W rough way he expresses
a phase of American feeling which it
is important for us to know"

Bull Fighting No Longer Popular
Among the Spaninrds.


Bull fighting is on the wanc in
Spain, and its popularity is rapidly de
Ginning. This, says the New York
Tribune, is shown by the fact that the
Madrid chamber of commerce has just
presented a petition based on. the
unanimous vote of it's members to the
governor OF Madrid, requesting him to
put a stop to weekday corridos, save on
exceptional occasions. 1t is urged
therein that bull fights on working days
injure trade and industry, are detri-
mental to the dispatch of business in
the government offices and favor idle
ness with oil it's accompanying evils.
The governor has promised to accede
TO the petition, and his decision is ap-
proved by a large and influential por-
ton of the public, while the remainder
of the people view the matter with in
difference. Yet 20 years ago the bare
idea of any restriction of the number
of bull fights by the authorities would
have raised a storm of indignation,
possibly developing into a revolution.
The altered condition Of public scnti-
ment with regard to this national
sport is mainly attributable to the ex-
cellent influence of the queen regent,
who has always set her face against
bull fighting, resolutely declining to
countenance the corridos by her pres
ence. =

A break in the cable laid between the
Senegal coast of Africa and Pernam-
ybuco, in, Brazik i've years .ngo, has led,
to an extraordinary discovery, related
recently by Mr.. Benest to the Institu-
ton of Electrical Engineers. The cable
was as fine o one as modern methods
you'd devise, yet after three months it
broke about $50 miles from the African
coast; it was repaired andbroke again.
It was then found that at the place
where the break occurred there was q
treat deal of vegetable growth resem-
oling river weed; that the color of the
sea was q dirty browns green, indicat-
ing the presence of fresh water, and
birds feathers, pieces of orange peel,
scraps of carpet and bits of driftwood
were taken front the bottom of the ocean.
The phenomenon was purely local, as
the nearest river was rs miles away,
and discharged it's waters in a different
direction 1t was surmised that it
meant Ii sudden breaking through of
a submarine river, and the cable was
moved to a distances; after two years
it broke again, and was moved once
more, n engineers are waiting to see
what will happen. Submarine rivers

the ocean, off the mouth of the Congo
and in the Gulf of Carpentaria, for in
stance. This explanation, however, does
not account for the carpet and orange
peel.

JOY FOR THE GOLDITEs.

The following interview with Sen
ator Stewart. publishe I in the New
York Times of the 9Th. is constru I'd
by the single standard advocates Of
the Pacific Coast az an abandonment
of the cause Of silver by Neyada's
senior Senator. 1t is difficult IL see
on what they base their views Of the
interview rs a careful reading Of it
fails to disclose any grounds for such
a construction. 1t will take more
than this interview to convince the
people of Nevada that Senator Stew
art has gone into the gold camp. The
Times says:
Senator Stewart is one OF the lat
est converts to CONNER cial optimism
He is a bull on everything except
silver. He is engaged in a vigorous
campaign in Wall street and said
yesterday that he had heard SO much
abont better times that he had de-
termined to gather in a part IT the
prosperity which is not only rampant
In tile street, but throughout the
land
@When asked what had brought
about the change in his views he
said: There is no roo for pessim-
ism in this country. No one can be a
bear in the face of the wheat famine
In Argentina, Russia, Hungary and
India. In view Of these conditions
abroad I should not be surprised to
Q silver sell for % cents and wheat
as high as a dollar.
"'There is nothing in talking silver
at the present time, and my advice to
my friends in the west is to fall in
line with the forces Of prosperity and
progress and receive their due share
Of the reward.
1.-The time has passed for the old
issues. We must turn to fir ne v i-
sue and new conditions. I fire.
qusntly hear it said that this security
market is a duplicate of the market
OF 1873 1t Is not. 1t is more of a
bull market. All America has to do
ID to get into it, go to sleep and get
rich. The wheat situation in the
West will make every railway not
only a dividend Garner. but u divi-
dend payer. Railroads that have
been moribund for years are now
taxed to their fullest capacity and are
still unable to accommodate their
traffic. I am told that there is immi
nent danger of a car famine~o on many
OF the most imp ortant lines traversing
this country Co.,"
"'Are the peools in the West alive
to this new situationY'
@'The people IN the west he repli
ed. are wide awake. They know a
good thing when they see it.. Most
OF them are hanging on to their cere.
ais with confidence, born of hope, and
actual knowledge OF what is gong on
around them. With their immense
crops they will be able not only to
iquidate their indebtedness to the
money sharks OF the East, but will
inaugurate a buying movement that
will surprise the people in this part
of the country. 1 think that by the
late fall, the trath Of what 1 said and
reiterated during the campaign will
be generally recognized and this is
that there can be no general prosper
