The unseen division Of wealth n the
world to-day. the unseen being that
divides the wealth so unevenly, is the
cause Of great dissatisfaction, and TO
cause this to disappear the wealth
would have to be re-distributed. That,
however. cannot be. consequently each
one must look out for himself. Each

YANTIC IN GREAT DEMAND.
May Cruise Through st. Lawrence
River and Welland Canal.

What To do with the old Yantic is the
conundrum with which the Navy Depart
mentis at present wrestling. Sheis wanted
by Michigan, Maryland and Connecticut for
naval reserve ship and the Ordnadce
Bureau wants her for a temporary powder
magazine for New York harbor. Which OF
these requests SECRETARY Long will grant
is at present unknown, even to himself, but
heis more than favorably inclined to turn
over the vessel to the Michigan reserves In
this desire he is supported by Assistant Sec
retary Roosevelt.
The difficulty attached to this propo-
sition is how to get the Yantic to Detroit.
II she goes there it must he by sailing up
the st. Lawrence through the rapids to the
Welldnd Canaland by the canal to the akeS
1t is said that the canal cannot take vessels
with a draught greater than eleven feet
anu that when lightened of all ancum-
brances the Yantic viii draw fifteen II
this should prove to he true Michigan
cannot have her
The Yantic Is now at Hampton Roads,
but VIII soon go to Boston, where she will
be surveyed, and if it is found that She
can pass through the canal, she will prob
ably go to Michigan.

LIBERTY MARKET CLAIMS.
Commissioner Revoke Former r
Order Restricting Payments.

The Commissioners yesterday revoked
their order of May 20, 1897, suspending
the former orders of May 10, 1897, ap-
proving the conclusions and findilSs of
the auditor for the supreme court of the
District in th matter OF certain claims pre-
sented under the act of Congress of Jan
uary 26, 1897, known as the Northern
Liberty Market claims.
This action is i'll opposition to the opin-
ion recently given by the attorney for the
District aad against the protest of Auditor
Petty, who did not deem the loss of leases
and capital invested sufficient physical
disability for remuneration. The Commits
sioners, after q careful resume of the
schedules, have come to the conclusion that
the schedules are not unreasonable and
that the loss OF good will and the arbi-
trary estoppel of their business were as
much of a loss as the physical disability
sustained by the material loss of The
stands. their fixtures, and whatever goods
tEat might have been Oil the ground the
night in September, 1872, when the old
Northern Liberty Market was demolished.
Now that the intention OF Congress has
been interpreted by the Commissioners as
including these losses the claims adjusted
by Auditor Payne will no doubt be settled.

BY-coNDuIT is DANGEROUS.
Men Dare Not Work in It-Con-
dftion of Potomac Water.

Capt. d. ID. Gaillard says in his report
of operations for the month OF May for the
Washington aqueduct, thatthe usual routine
work had been done. The total amount
expended to June 80, 1896, including the
Washington aqueduct tunnel and the new
reservoir near Howard University, was
S6-416, ,367.53, of which the District of
Columbia paid 1855, ,14S.76.
During the month of May the report
states, 1.-The height of water on the gauge
at the mouth OF the conduit at Great Falls
has varied between 151. 4 and 154.7 feet
above datum plane AT the distributing
reservoir gatehouse the water was very
turbid 10 days; turbid days; slightly
tuTbid 5 days and clear days. Excluding
the days when the water was purposely
lowered by being shut off at Great Falls
for the purpose of cleaning the conduit, the
level in the distributing reservoir during
the month has varied between 145 So and
146 feet above datum plane.
About sixty cubic yards of flint stone
were crushed and spread on the road be-
tween Cabin John Bridge and bridge No.
5, and repairs TO the dirt road, between
the club house and Great Falls were COM
neuced The work of repairing and white
washing the fences and painting, white
washing and cement washingthe gate, houses
and buildings was nearly completed. The
grading and the irregular banks at the
edge of the DaIccarha reservoir, just

new felt roof was put on the engine house
on the Virginia shore, near the end OF the
dam at Great Falls. The grounds at the
reservoirs were cleaned, grass was cut
and bitches opened
"A careful inspection of the entireinterior
of the conduit between the Dalecarlia reser-
voir and Great Falls showed that it was
In excellent condition; that the numerous
cracks, plastered up during the preceding
year had not extended, and thatnonew ones
had developed. The north section of the
by-conduit around the Dalecarlia reser
yoir, as for years past, is in very bad
condition, and viii require extensive re-
pairs to make it thoroughly efficient.
Last year, al considerable risk, the by
conduit was thoroughly cleaned. but this
month when the water was shut OFF for the
same purpose, the leakage was so great

desire to relieve the island from the bur-
dens OF taxation. but was the result of ne
cessity. Cuba was not able to meet suoh
monstrous exactions. 1t was continuous
and threatening deficit that imposed the
reductions. In the first of the above
named years the deficit was So 900 eco
short OF appropriations; in the second year
the deficit reached $4,000 600, and so
OH, until at thepresent time the aecumulat-
ed amount Of all these deficits reaches
800 600 200. AS consequence of such
reckless and senseless financial course,
the debt of Cuba has been increased to a
fabulous sum. In 1868 she owed $685.
100000 When the present war broke out
the net sum was$190,0oo 600 The grand
total Of the Indebtedness is S295,? ,?o7 ,264.
Considering its population the debt of Cuba
exceeds thai OF all the other American
countries, including the United States. The
interest on this debt imposes burden OF
1913 on each inhsbitant The French
people, the most overhurdened people in
this respect, owe only $50 to each in
habitant.
In this enormous debt are included the
Spanish debt To. the United States; the
expenses incurred by Spain when She oc-
cupied santo, Domingo; those for the in
vasion of Mexico In alliance with France
aid England, the expenditures for her
hostiiities against Peru. the money ad-
yanced to the Spanish treasury dur
ing its recent Carlist wars, and all that
Spain has spent to uphold its domination
in Cuba, and to cover the lavish ex-
penditures of it's admins tration since
1868. Not a single cent of this vast
sum has been spent iii Cuba to advance
