Americans against the retention
of the prohibition upon our stat
utes which denies to foreign-bu
ships the privilege of American
registry, on the ground that these
foreign-built ships were cheaper
than American-built vessels. The
recent reduction in the cost of
making steel, however, and the
shipment of steel ship plates to
British shipyards, indicates very
clearly that the next step will be
the more economical construction
of steel ships in the United States.
Many say that time has already
arrived. If it has, the great foun-
dation upon which the demand for
the free American registry of
foreign-built ships was based, has
been removed. 1t is now in order
to build the ships needed for the

Denver in the morning -immedi-
ately after the arrival of d. d R. G.
and Colorado Midland trains from
the West. 1t now leaves at LAC

In other words, it runs l,046 miles

about thirty-six miles an hour.
There are not half a dozen long

there Is not one-not single one

A now famous physician relates
that early in his career in the city
where he was located there resided
an elderly physician who was al
ways ready TO give him wholesome
advice. One morning the young
practitioner was called to visit a
man who was very sick. On his
way he happened to meet his old
friend, the doctor, and, as usual, he
had something of importance to say.
He drew it out so long. however,
that the younger man grew impa-
tient and finally said: Doctor, you
will have to excuse me. am on my
way to visit a gentleman who In

To the ArdmOreite.
Washington, Feb. 12.-The
committee on Indian affairs is
again at work on the Curtis bill.
They have not yet reached the
townsite provision. When the
committee reached the Curtis
bill, Mr.. Curtis moved that the
committee proceed to consider
the same in executive session.
Doubtless the members feel
that they can express them
selves more freely in secret ses-
sion. We have not made an eff
fort to get hearing before the
full committee, believing that
discussing the matter with the
individual members would be
fully as effective if not more so.
If we should deem it necessary
think we could get a hearing.
| believe the committee as a
whole want to do what is fair to
all parties. There is some ten
dency to return to what is
known as the tender PROPOSE
tion," that is, to deposit the
purchase price to the credit of
the nations, and await their ac-
ceptance. Some of the mem
bers say the proposition to in
corporate and authorize the
towns to purchase will not set
tie the matter, and that con-
gress will have the whole oues-
ton on its hands again with ad-
ditional complications. If the
tribes should sell to a portion
OF the towns they probably
would not sell to all. If a rea-
sonable maximum should be
fixed, | am inclined to think
this plan would afford as salts
factory settlement as the pend
ing provision, and a much
surer and speedier one.

Chicago, Feb. 6.-Wheat-Liver-
pool was 1-2d higher for the day, but
was most Of the session only 1-2 over
Chicago May. Bradstreet,s worlds
visible decreased 324 900 bushels,
which was something OF q surprise.
The so-called clique seemed to do
nothing today. but shorts were scared
and ran to cover. May did not reach
the dollar mark, but went to 90 SIC,
where there were evidently selling
orders, but not below that price.
Pri 'ary receipts were 357 900, COM
pared with 25s 900 last year. II GER
tainly appears to be well in hand by
the owners of cash wheat, who have
already sent cars over three lines for
loading, and eastern shipments. with
out Newport News, are 175, 900 BUSH
els. At one time Chicago May wheat
was SIC over New York and the same
price as Baltimore and st. Louis,
which made the trade think Chicago
was artificial. However, during most
of the session the market remained
firm, apparently without other help
than from shorts.
Corn-There has been q large in
crease in trade. Large buying by an
elevator concern and moderate re-
ceipts and offerings from the coun-
try. together with good cash demand
and clearances, made a strong and
sctive market, which is making
friends from those who look at its
low price and who are afraid to trade
in May wheat. Corn moves rather
slowly, but we think Ii has turned
into a bull condition and believe in IL.
Oats have been strong, selling
closer to corn than heretofore, but
losing something of its advance at
the close.
Provisions were strong and active,
with receipts of hogs at western
points the same as last year. Pork
advanced quickly on vigorous buy
ing, but this advance brought about
good realizing and the market sold
of naturally in sympathy with other
things. A further setback would
seem to be in order, but we believe
1898 will prove to be a bull year on
account of large consumption and
generally bullish conditions.

and provision markets in Chicago
