POLICEMAN'S OFFENSE.
officer Narrower Incurs Penalty OF
Fine and Reprimand.

In the case of Policeman j. r. Narrower,
jr., of the sixth precinct, recently found
guilty of intoxication and neglect of duty,
the recommendation of Chief Sylvester that
he be fined $40, Trial officer Pugh having
recommended leniency.
In reporting to the Commissioners in the
casa Chief Sylvester said: Il know Private
Narrower well. He has his good points
as an officer, but they are fast crumbling
away by reason of his want of discretion
and judgment.
1t has been three years since he was
cited before the trial board, an improved
career over his earlier period on the force
and in determining this case / take that
improvements into consideration. 1t ap-
pears he was off duty when he was guilty
of the misconduct referred to within. The
dissipation however, affected his efficiency
for the succeeding time and disqualified
him for service. had emergency arisen.
Il recommend a fine of $50, payable in
four equal instaliments, and. in addition
thereto, think he should be informed that
if at any time he is rude or ungenteman-
ly to a superior officer, or citizen, uses his
club, except provided by the manual
or is guilty of any conduct unbecoming an
officer, he will be promptly removed from
the force.
IF an officer cannot maintain himself as
a gentleman. be honest in the performance
of duty and not evasiye, in my opinion his
services can be spared. If this finding is
approved, | shall give close attention to
Private Harrover's future conduct
Upon the recommendation of Commission
er Wight, the Commissioners have directed
that Officer Narrower be transferred to

METROPOLITAN STOCK.
Current Gossip as to the Activity and
the Present Price.

The continued advance in the market
price of the stock of the Metropolitan
Street Railroad Company excites interest
in financial circles. There seems to be no
sufficient reason to account for 1t, although
there are, of course. number of explana-
tions. Since the 1st of the present month
some 2IJ shares of this stock have been
sold on the Washington stock exchange,
and the price has advanced from $133 to
s142 per share.
The par value of the stock is $50 and
upon this is paid dividend of 10 per cent,
which is ler cent on S125. At the prese 1T
market price. and a the present dividend
this stock yields less than per cent. II is
concluded from this showing that the stock
IS not being purchased as an investment, at
least not for its present dividend paying
qualities.
1t is therefore inferred that the demand
for it is based on future developments, and
In this connection two suggestions have
been made. One is that an extra dividend,
either in stock or in cash. is to be declared
in the near future, and the other is based
on the probability of a railroad combina-
ton.
The latest rumor In the latter class is
to the effect that a combination is to be
effected through the medium of the Great
Falls Railroad Company, which, it Is
stated. has in its charter clause giving
1t the right to buy connecting street rail-
roads According to this theory the Great
Falls company will buy the Metropolitan
company and will then still have the right
to purchase any other lines that may seem
desirable.
on the other hand it Is claimed that the
control of the company is ruled by a COM
paratively few persons and that they would
not consent to sell even at a big advance
on the present marked price. However
that may be, the fact remains that well
posted people are unable to account for the
recent activity in this stock and its pres
ent price.

FIGHTING BY INDIRECTION.
The Opposition I'm Congress to the
Nicaragua Canal.

The fight that is being made in Congress
against the Nicaragua canal is by indirect
methods, but is very determined. The plan
of the several lobbies is TO get the advo-
Gates of the general project divided be-
tween a number of propositions for the
construction, So that they cannot agree
upon bill.
In both the House and the Senate there
is very strong sentiment in favor of the
construction of the canal. 1t is obvious
that the project could not be defeated by
a vote on the direct question of whether
or not canal should be constructed. and
that an open and avowed opposition would
be so weak as to furnish no obstacle 10
the passage of a bill through both houses
during this session.
The object of the opposition at this time
is to prevent action by Congress before the
expiration of the concession of the present
company, on which the Morgan bill is
based.
For this reason propositions requiring de-
lay rather than direct forms of attack,
are being pressed. 1t Is also because sur
yeys that have been made are of question
able accuracy, and that this will initiate
against action at this session.
There is no question however, that if
those who are earnestly in favor of the
construction of the canal could agree among
themselves on the bill they want il would
have a strong majority in both houses of
Congress-

expected, and the growing export demand

the hope that the Federal Steel Company
will be persuaded to recognize the necessity
of including the southern company in its
plan of consolidation. The shares of the
Federal Steel Company were one Of the
active features of the day, but no impor-
tant changes in price were recorded
Lake Erie and Western was active, and
the Panhandle issues again demonstrated
their willingness to advance.
Taken a whole. the market displays a
wonderful breadth and absorbing capacity
for this season of the year. The holiday

record for the last few weeks, hut there are
no indications that any hurt can come to

SUBSIDIES FOR SHIPPING
Bill introduced in the Senate and the
House.
Designed to Promote Commerce and
increase Our Foreign Trade and
to Provide Auxiliary Cruisers.

Senator Hanna introduced in the Senate.
and Representative Payne in the House. a
bill to grant subsidies for American ship
ping.
The bill is entitled, "A bill to promote
commerce and increase the foreign trade of
the United States and to provide auxiliary
cruisers, transports and seamen for gov
ernment use when necessary" The title
expresses the object Of the bill.
The first section provides a graduated
plan of compensation to the owners of yes
sells carrying the American flag and en-
gagged in foreign commerce. The amount
depends on the tonnage of the vessel and
the speed, graduated all the way from the
slowest sailing vessel to steamships of ten
thousand tons burden, capable of making
twenty-three knots an hour and upward.
Section 2 provides that no such compen-
sation shall be paid to the owners of any
such vessel, unless at least one-fourth of
the navigating crew are citizens of the
United States.
Section provides for tests of speed, sim
liar in character to those required by the
Navy Department.
Section provides for a bounty of s. per
ton for all vessels engaged in the deep sea
fisheries, requiring that at least one-third
of the crew shall be citizens of the United
States.
Section provides for a bounty of 81 per
month TO each sailor actually engaged in
the deep sea fisheries.
Section provides safeguards for pay
ment under section . and provides careful
limitations of the classes of vessels en-
titled to such payment, etc.
Sections Z, 8, 8 and 10 make a general
provision similar to the act of 1892 under
which the New York and Paris were ad-
mitted to registry and the ST. Louis and
the ST. Paul were built, extended to all
similar vessels owned by American citi
Zens.
Section 10 requires that a certain number
of American boy apprentices shall be car
ried on each American vessel and taught
the art of navigation.
Section II provides that in time Of war all
vessels under this act may be taken by
the government and used as cruisers trans
ports, etc.
Section 13 prevents all vessels built under
this act from participation in the coast
trade or fishing.
Section II provides that all vessels regis
tered under the act shall carry mails, If
required, without other compensation than
that provided in the act. 1t also provides for
the cancellation of the present mail con-
tracts with American lines.
The BILL 1t is explained, provides the
same general system adopted in building
up the German, British and other foreign
lines. All of the foreign countries engaged
in commerce, the proposCrs of the bill
state, still maintain their lines by a sys-
TEN of compensation to a greater or less
extent some of them extending the sys
TEN, as does this bill, to all the merchant
marine registered under their flag.

San Francisco TO take charge of the new
Japanese cruiser Chitcse, said the policy Of
expansion which has been adopted by the
United States receives the most cordial sup
port of the Japanese from sentimental and

Commander Mori places Admiral Dewey
in the same class with Admras Ito and
Nelson. He is not only a great naval Of
ficcr,' said he. but a general and states
man" He did not know Admiral Dewey
personally, but he saw the result of his
work. having arrived at Manila in COM
mand of the cruiser Nanwa to look out for
Japanese interests there.
Commander Mori thinks a considerable
portion of the future contracts for warships
will be let to American firms One of the
principal reasons for this. aside from the
superior workmanship, will be because the
United States will be near the home coun-
try, that the vessels can be taken across
the Pacific without a long voyage through
the Suez canal or around the Cape of Good
Hone.
