tIalia, because of his quick trip In forty-four
days from Sydney to Plymouth. After
cruise OF Sc 900 miles the ship is in need OF
hardly any repairs The Flora was built in
1893 at Barrow, is of 1850 tons, wood sheathed
and coppered. as are all British cruisers for
foregn-sta statiOn service.
The recent British naval maneuvers for the
first time since 1886 d not develop single
case of giving out OF boilers, but in two OF the
ships, the Mars and Terrible. the cylinders
were badly scored and the ships almost dis
abled on that account. Another fact was
proved, namely, that IA knots was the high
est limit of speed which could be relied upon
for an extended period. The fault is alleged
to be due to the inability of the stokers to
keep up the steam, and as the transatlantic
steamers experience no difficulty in maintain
ing steam the trouble lies either with the men
or in the navy system.
At the Armstrong shipbuilding and arma-
ment works, E!swick, seventeen shtps-of-war
for foreign navies are in course OF construc-
ton. The list embraces two battle-shirs OF
l4,SOO tons each; two armoyed vessels OF $500
tons and IL knots speed two armored cruisers
OF 5000 tons and 20 knots speed; eight pro-
tected cruisers, of which two are $500 tons,
"a knots; two 1900 tons, 231a knots; one
1850 tons, 81 knots; three $3.50 10 knots;
one third-class cruiser $500 tons, ID knots; on e
training-ship $500 tons, IA knots. and one
torpedo t-destroyer 800 TONS 30 knots. In
addition 900 guns from the smallest caliber
ND to II inches are under construction.
The supplementary naval estimates pre-
sented in the British Parliament July y pro-
vide for one battle-ship of the Canopus class
and three baitlc-ships OF the Maj site class,
but of an improved type. The latter will lie
of $4,000 tons displacement, 10 draw six
inches less, and are to be ten feet longer than
the Majestic Their speed is to be Is knots,
and the protection will be nickel steel armor.
In addition it is proposed TO build four
armored cruisers of II $50 tons displacement,
their dimensions 10 be 440 feet length, 691s
feet beam and 26 feet drsught. The armament
will b, composed of two 90 inch, twelve q inch
quick-frers, fourteen II Founders and three 3
FOUNDERS. The hulis will be sheelhed with
wood and eoppered and con ntinuous speed
of 1917 knots is anticipated. On normal dis
placement 800 tons Of coal will be carried,
but the bunkers will stow 1900 tons, The
armore cruisers and the battle-ships will all
be fitted with water-tube boilers.

SPAIN OF THE PRESENT DAY.

The prevailing uncertainty with refer
ence to the existing government OF Spain,
above which the threatening clouds grew
darker when the assassin's bullet severed
the life-thrta i of Premier Canovas, makes
interesting a brief view of that monarchy
as it now stands The area of Continental
Spain lacks ~. 600 square miles of being
as great as that OF the State of Texas,
while the population is about equal TO
that of the four States OF New York. Penn
sylvania, Ohio and Illinois.
Since 1890 the expenditures OF the King
dom have been largely in excess of the
revenues, and the Government now owes,
in addition to its floating debt, about
twelve hundred millions OF dollars. Spain,
in fact, is virtually bankrupt, and the
warfare in Cuba has been the chief cause
Of that financial condition.
Spain's constitution provides that the
executive shall rest in the King and the
power to make laws "in the Cortes with
the King" The Cortes is composed of
Senate and Congress, equal in authority.
The Senate is the castle OF royalty. Half
the Senator'S are either appolntees of the
King or grandees, generals, admirals,
dTCQ bishops dHu supteuo Heaoo " Nouu'
ellis of State, War and Navy. The other
half of the Senate is elected by the COR
porations OF State-that is. the communal
and provincial States, the ch hurch, the uni
ycrsities, academies, etc.-and by the heav-
lest contributors 10 the funds of the State.
The Congress is formed by depute', one
to every $1,000 of population, and chosen
for terms OF five years. The monarch ap-
points the President and V:ce-President
of the Senate; the Congress elects its own
officials.
The constitution enacts that the mon
arch is inviolabe, but his Ministers are
responsible, and that all his DEGREES must
be signed by one of theta. King Alfonso
XIII being only II years old, his mother,
Maria Christina. daughter of the late
Archduke Karl Ferdinand of Austria, acts
AS Queen Regent; but the responsible and
authoritative voice OF The Spanish Gov.
eminent comes from the mouth of the
Premier. THIS was instanced very plainly
when a newspaper correspondent ex-
pressed to the late Senior Canovss a de-
sire to interview the Queen Regent on the
question OF Cuban policy. 1.-THE Queen

PROSPERITY EVERYWHERE.

Reports from all over the country con-
tinue to show steady increase IN the
volume of trade. The gain as represented
by the clearinghouse figures is 2S.4 per
cent larger than last year, and there is
gain OF ~ per cent in the exports of mer-
chandise The general average OF rail-
road securities is higher than at any
time for four years, except brief period
in 1895. This is due largely to the heavy
Weld of wheat and the good prices there
for and 10 the equally large crop OF cotton,
to say nothing OF the incre ased move
ment of merchandise throughout the
country.
The industries are generally dull in
midsummer, but in spite of this many show
substantial gains. We have been treated
to the unusual spectacle OF mills reopen
ing in the dogdays and voluntary in
crease in the wages OF millhands In
several parts OF the country. The boot
and shoe trade is reported as steadily in
creasing with large orders i'll spite OF
higher prices. The wool trade is still in
excellent shape with no weakness in
prices apparent. The cotton mills are
not working very briskly. but the demand
for cotton goods is SAID to be gradually
gaining. Failures throughout the country
are neither large nor numerous. These
points sufficiently indicate the condition
OF trade, taking the country as a whole.
The Pac fic Coast has been particularly
favored in the current revival by the won
deriul gold discoveries. They have led 10
a remarkable stimulation in business in
many lines of goods. The business of tit
ting out expeditions for the klondike has
resulted in marked distribution OF money
in San Francisco, and. as the greater part
of the Klondike gold has been brought
here, the port has thus enj joyed double
profit. But the stimulus given to public
confidence by these discoveries is source
of still greater profit. Gold seems 10 be
in the air, and whether man has any OF
it or not it makes him feel buoyant and
hopeful. If he gets it he is llch; II some
other man gets 1t he receives the indlrec
benefit of it in the increase OF trade. So It
i. good thing all around.
The outlook for California products con-
tinues brilliant. Wheat has been steadily
moving up for some time, and the de-
mand for it is sharp. Wool, hides, leather,
hops, hay, beans, potatoes, provisions.
dried fruit, hogs, sheep and, in fact, al
most all the products of the farm, are SELL
ing we'll at living prices. This has led 10
an improved feeling in country real es-
tate, and the farmer is a man of increas-
ing I'M portanee and credit.
Briefly, wherever we look, whether in
the East or in the West, whether at the
farmer, the manufacturer or the mer-
chant we find evidences of prosperity in
creasing on every hand. The country has
got beyond the expectation point, and is
now in the &C ual realization of its long
delayed hopes for better times.

THE PARIS DUEL.

The much talked of duel betwe cen Prince
Henry of Orleans and the Count OF Turin
was fought in Paris at o'clock yesterday
morning. 1t is of little interest to Ameri-
cans whether the Frenchman or the Italian
was the victor in this com bat, but it shows
conclusively that the matter was q more
serious affair than the comments of the
English ress would imrlr.
The usual mode Of dueling in France,
which consists of using sharp poin ted
horettes on which buttons are attached
one and half inches from the point, was
entirely set aside and rapiers were used
instead. Rapier and saber duels are con-
sidered in Europa fully as dangerous as
pistol duels, and 1t cannot, therefore, be
said that thiI affair was anything but a
mortal combat

edged In all Continental armies no officer
