GOSSIP OF NEW YORK.

New York, May 10.-War risk lnsur- ance rates on ships that are not sail ing over routes covered by stray Span ish destroyers slightly fell of yester- day. Nearly all American vessels afloat have now been insured. Nearly all the shippers feel that they can dodge the Spanish anyhow.
 All the pilot boats used by the Sandy Hook pilots were withdrawn yester- day with the exception of one steam vessel, which will be used exclusively for boarding vessels, and will cruise in the vicinity of the lighLsnips. The planting of mines in the bay has made navigation dangerous even for the clever marines who can readily read the lumpy face of the deep blue wa terS.
 Outgoing steamship passenger traffic has been materially reduced since the declaration of war The number of bookings for May and June is smaller than for many years, and rates for outgoing freight are far beyond the normal figures. Many people who in tended to take transatlantic trip a:e evidently scared by the warfare with Spain, and will forego their visits to the other side until truce or peace is proclaimed. However, there are good bicycle paths at home.
 The Bradley Martins are preparing to leave the metropolis and take up a residence close to the throne. They have bought the late Barney Barnato's in, Bradley Martins will be missed. Mrs. Martin has always been a lavish en- tertainer Her latest costume ball at the Waldorf cost about $40,000. It heads the list of expensive functions here, but it Is altogether likely that some one with more money than brains will some day do something greater in the same line, and then the Bradley Martins will be back numbers.
 The newspapers are in a stew over the fact that the war has already had an effect on the paper market, and it premises to increase the prices fur ther in very short time. Paper mak- CTS use large amount of sulphur, and since it has been declared contraband of war the price has gone up $4 ton, while in the other brands proportion ate increase in price has been declared Hence, the proposed revision of the printing paper price list.
 Here you are! Relics Of the Maine! Pieces of the United States warship blown up by Spain in the harbor oi Havana! Only 10 cents for these scu- venirs of brave jackies and Spanish treachery!" The Park Row hawker didn't have much further use for his lungs for awhile, as he was quickly surrounded by a crowd almost fight ing for the so-called relics Of the ill fated Maine. The ''souvenir'' was 8 bit of old and rusty iron, with a bow of red, white and blue ribbon tied to | it, but it was a good thing, and the fakir pushed it along. He'll break up some more old iron tomorrow.

CLIMATE AND CROPS.
Report of the Climatic and Agricul-
 tural Condition of the Territory.

United States Department of Agri- culture, Climate and Crop Bulletin of the Weather Bureau, Arizona Section for the week ending Monday, May g.:
 SUMMARY.
 Precipitation occurred quite gener- ally in the mountainous regions, after the reports of correspondents for last week had been mailed In most places it was in the form of rain and was light. It was of considerable value, however, as it cleared the at mOsphere of dust, and freshened both cultivated crops and the ranges. In southern parts of Mohave county the rain was unusually heavy for the sea- son and the ranges anu stock were correspondingly benefited.
 Clear weather windy days and calm cool nights followed the rains and in Apache, Navajo, Yavapai and Coconino counties frost was deposited. Fruit in Apache county suffered materially but otherwise little or no injury re- suited.
 Generally cool weather prevailed in all parts of the territory, -ncluding the great valleys; and the propagation, growth and maturing of the various kinds of crops were retarded
 Alfalfa has good start and corn and potatoes are coming up in the valley of the Little Colorado. In Graham county the first crop of alfalfa is being cut, small grain is beginning to ripen and other crops are in a nor nal stage of advancement
 Apricots are reported ripe and being shipped from Yuma
 In Salt River valley hay cutting, baling and shipping have been in con tinuous progress for several weeks. The yield and quality of hay are gen. erally good and it is being marketed at satisfactory prices

contractors are reimbursed for materials

The contractors, contended Mr. Wilson

than they could afford to do the work for

the subcontractors have not been fully
compensated for the materials they fur
nfshed The claims of the subcontractors,
said MIR. Wilson. amount in round mum
bers to $4,000, and while perhaps the Dis
trict is under no legal obligation TO rem-
burse them, he held that, in a moral sense
the District, having received the benefit
OF the materials furnished, should do
Commissioner Black having called his
attention to the fact that subcontractors
are not recognized by the District I'M
der the contracts, MIR. Wilson said that
nevertheless the District should in all fair
ness and equity do what it could TO sea
that they are reimbursed, especially as
the materials were furnished at about
cost prices.
The Commissioners explained 10 the at
torncy that to do SO in the present in
stance, no matter how worthy the claims
of the men might be, would, in their opn-
ion, establish a very bad precedent Cap
tain Black called attention to what he
termed was a duty on the part of the sub
contractors to see that they would be
protected before furnishing materials. He
said the trouble is that the Commissioners
are forced by the existing law 10 award
contracts to the lowest responsible bid
der. Notwithstanding the fact that IL may
be fully apparent to them that The amount
of the bid is far below the price for which
the work could be done. The consequence
has been, he stated, that the District has
not only lost money and experienced great
trouble and annoyance. but inferior Euild-
fngs have also resulted.
Mr.. Wilson admitted that subcontractors
are not be recognized, according to the
terms of the contract but he called at
tention to the fact that the law does not
allow a mechanics lien to be filed against
a municipal building and claimed that for
that very reason the District should do
what IL could to see that the subcontrac-
tors are reimbursed. The Commissioners
refused to interfere in the matter. how
ever, but recommended that he apply to
Congress for relief. They declined to say,
however, whether they would or would not
recommend favorable action. should bill
proposing to grant the relief asked be re-
ferred to them, although they stated they
would see that Congress was fully in
formed in the matter.
