New York. July 1s.-wall street appar-
entity remained unconvinced to-day that
values n securities had been increased
by the equalization of Santiga and prices
s~tubbornly refused to advance in face of
that event. The upward tendency of Amer
leans in London was viewed with apathy
and the few advances at the opening hour
were not up to the London parity. The
accumulated orders in commission houses
were of very small volume. the outside
public being apparently taken up with
other interests than speculation in stocks.
The bears were confident and aggressive
and were prompt to take advantage of the
absence of buying demand to attack the
market.
Sugar was the first point Of attack and
the price yielded quite readily. but only
small quantities OF stock were d~islodged
by the decline.
The weakness of the ~coalers. which had
persisted all week. was a marked feature.
There is no doubt that there has been
liquidation of long stocks In these COM
panies on accumulated troubles of trade.
There is but a sluggish demand for even
the curtailed output and the companies
find themselves at odds over the mainte-
nance of prices and the division of terri
tory.
The bears were also busy with Man
haitian. There was an obvious increase
in the short accounts and no apparent ef-
fort to cover 1T over Sunday. The govern
men crop report caused some depression,
owing to declines In condition compared
with the previous month. In spite of a
high average compared with former years
and of the estimated crop exceeding Co.,
900, 900 bushels of wheat. The hesitation of
the stock market Is due In no small part
to the exports and high prices
of last year. when comparisons of this
year are to be made.

Financier's Review.


New York. July 16-The Ffnsncier says:
The bank statement for the current week
reflects the operations incident to the
financing of the new government loan
and the totals differ materially from wha
had been anticipated. The banks lost
heavily to the treasury. although they
gained something like two millions from
the interior. The result is shown in a net
decrease Of $4,o4s, so cash, and as deposits
remain nearly stationary. the reserve de-
creased almost in the same proportion. or
1873 AS to be exact.
Loans are still expanding. the increase
for the week having been S.. l7s. 200. In the
light of known facts as to the slowness
of commercial paper. IL is needless to say
that this gain has n 10 connection with
mercantile affairs. 1t can be traced al
most without exception to the banks
which are acting or preparing to act as
government repositories. OF course other
banks are doing their usual share of
business, but the rapid fuctuation in the
principal item is due entirely to the
causes mentioned. Now that the bond
subscription has closed the real effect
on the money market will become appar-
ent. Ii is known that ninety millions or
more have been paid INTO the treasury
for small bonds. This money has in real
ity been withdrawn. or Is now in course
of collection, but the treasury disburse-
ments are so heavy that the effect has
not been perceptible, especially as a large
portion of II remains in depository banks.
During the next 10 days the 2 per cent.
checks on the successful bids for the
remainder of the loan will go through
the banks and then will begin the pay
ments on the principal. These. in all
probability, viii be extended In such q
manner as to prevent a heavy accumula-
ton of cash In the treasury, and as the
daily deficit In that branch of the gov
eminent Is between one and two millions.
II will he seen that the completion of the
loan will not disturb the money market.
The return of the unsuccessful bids. on the
other hand. will throw or the market
for investment a large sum of money.
This is one of the features disclosed by the
over-subscription. which is at
tracing not a little attention. 1t becomes
patent that the country has more money
willing to accept lower returns than at
any previous period. This is being shown
In the West as well as in the East. and II
is complicating the banking system in
New York because the outlet which
could always be depended upon is now
closed through the accumulation of capt
tai which is being used to meet the needs
of local communities. In brief, the country
must have expansion of some kline or
money will continue a drug on the mar
ket.

THE CHURCH MILITANT.

THE Cardinal Cascajares, Cardinal Archbishop
 of Valladolid was an artillery officer before he
 took orders and like Loyola, has not forgotten his military training by exchanging the helmet TOT the beretta
 He has issued pastoral that is in the nature ot a sensation. After declaring that Spalns finances are wrecked her policy vacillating, her commerce Ill ruins, her industry expiring and her agricuture anaemic, while her blood is spent in useless battle, the fiery prelate says "A nation calling herself our friend allows her press, and, what IS more serious, her Congress, to insult daily. That same nation favors reasonably the Cuban rebels, giving them and ammunition and declaring that most ot the prisoners taken Spanshtroops her citizens even fl they guilty of ncendiarism and dynamiting of trains That same nation crowns her hypocrisy with Judas kiss by sending her warships to blockade Cuba under cover of an undesirable and vexing courtesy Spain that nation as the ch1et ob- stacle to establishing peace in Cuba and, despite such fact, that nation dares fix upon us terms tor ending the and menaces with armed interven- ton. And yet our Government suffers all these inn positions, these exigencies and this churshness be- cause 1t pretends that have money and no ships Soon we will have no shame
 It is stated in the London press that 1t IS feared other prelates may follow the Cardinals example with consequences serious to the Government.
 The language of the pastoral is interesting because it is the echo of clerical utterances in this country. Rev. Minot J. Savage put his early in a speech in New York, and comes Rev. MT. Glover, an Episcopal rector in Minnesota, in ad- dress to G. A. R, men, saying:
 Our hearts are mutually burning 1 suppose, over the treachery of the common enemy 1 have not yet offered myself formally for my country's service to any Governor, but I thought of writing to those patriots of Indiana to say that my services in lead ing regiment will be always at their command, and that I will do all in my power with them to make Spanish the prevailing language of hell"
 Verify these followers of the Prince of Peace are "hot stuff" Senator Mason and the warke poi- ticians in both countries are not the band wagon at all in comparison
 - Officers of the army and navy cool and cir cumspect. President and Prime Minister proceed along the formal and polite lines of diplomacy Even the people plant and and deve and dig as usual and wait in grim patience for the long roll of the drums But these of the clergy, meantime are standing the picket line exchanging challenges and avowng gory thirst that hardly in keep ing with their cloth.

STATUS OF THE CAT.

JUDGE CAMPBELL declares that the domestic o cat is a wild animal. The important feature of V this Is not the feeling of the cat at being thus aspersed, but the circumstance that may now claim ownership of cat Title to property will not rest in the cat It becomes vagrant the face o1 the earth the target of every brickbat Whoso de sires may slay it. This may be law, but 1t IS not sense and 1t does not give the cat fair deal.
 If the domestic cat Is wild animal science should change the title of the creature. As matter of fact it is no more wild animal than is the dog the horse the patient-eyed kline At some time in the dim and distant past all these roamed unrestrained. All of them, If given opportunity, would relapse into an untamed state, and all of them have first second cousins who cavort plain and through jungle un- subjugated II the hearthstone cat is wild animal because the lion and hyena wild then the dog in similar fix because the wolf, the coyote and the fox for the most part refuse to become civilized.
 The prowlng cat who howls the alley in the night time, driving away sleep promoting profanity, IS nuisance and should be abated To do the abat- ing would be to perform public service. But this noisy and nomadic feline, an appetite and desire, has nothing in common with the cultivated pussy who sleeps on the rug and IS welcome there. In many families the cat is held in regard little lesj than actual affection. To condemn such cat to become the prey of the rabble to stamp 1t as outcast against whom every may safely turn his hand, is as ranky unjust as to the canary have its neck wrung because its ancestors twittered free in the forest.
 The domestic cat has distinct grievance against Judge Campbell It can in justice to itself do noth- ing less than call nocturnal convention under his window and make the air quiver chorus of pro-

BY UNANIMOUS VOTE.

C WET as the House in passing the Dill approprating S5o,oooooo for national defense - the Senate swter still It took the Senate just twenty-six minutes to hear the bill read nave the roll called and pass the measure by unanimous vote. The body usually so slow going in its pro cedure that it has been regarded obstruction to legislation, has proven its ability to move as rapidly any legislative body on earth when the occasion calls for swiftness, and the people will note the tact with universal approval.
 This is the first time in our history, and perhaps the first time in the history of the world that two legislative bodies have passed ot such im- portance this without single dissenting vote Fifty millions of dollars is no slight sum to place at the disposal of President to use according to his discretion, matter how great may be the conh- dence of Congress in his ability and his patriotism It is therefore striking evidence of the loyalty oi American people that at this crisis the representa- tves of all parties voted unanimously to place that huge sum in the hands of the administration with no other condition placed upon 1t than that it shall be used for national defense.
 The prompt response of both houses Of Congress to the need of the time and the unanimous vote by which the bill passed ought to make deep inn pression upon the public mind and be long remen- bered. Party spirit is manifest among our people, and we so seldom have in politics demonstration Of anything else, that there times when even the most optimistic of citizens moved by fear that with party passion may override patriotism, and that the interest of the republic might be sacrificed at critical moment for the sake of winning an advantage for party or the other This fear has been dispelled by the vote on the bill for national defense. Americans may be divided almost to the verge of civil at home, but when an issue arises with foreign power their swords are thousand, but their bosoms are one"
 The lesson of the vote will not be lost either at home or abroad It will have its effect in every European capital and not in Madrid alone. It will be warning to all powers that while the United States is less likely to provoke than any other earth, it will be more united in case of war and more ready to meet it with all the force of an ar dent and patriotic people

WE HAVE THE MONEY.

C CONGRESSMAN CANNON in moving the | passage of his bill appropriating $5oooo,o ,ooo
 for national defense stated to the House that the money IS in the treasury, that the bill calls neither for issue of bonds for increased tax ation We appropriate this sum- said Mir Can non, from funds already on hand without borrowing and without laying heavier burdens upon the people thing which could be done by no other nation on the face of the globe.
 Of the fact that the $5oooooo is already in the treasury had nothing to do with the passage of the bill. When national defense calls for arms or wealth the American people will be always prompt to respond matter what may be the condition of the treasury at the time Nevertheless the statement timely for it presented in striking way the financial strength of the nation and made it clear to all that afford provide defense with out waiting for war to break out before we enter upon expenditures for the purpose.
 In another respect also the statement is interest ing and notable. It illustrates the vast difference between the condition of the national treasury under the present administration and the condition under MT. Cleveland. The Democratic tariff of deficit and dasco compelled Cleveland to borrow money to maintain the credit of the Government even in time of peace, but afford sudden and unex- pected expenditure of $5o,oooooo without having to borrow penny of 1t.
 he national treasury IS, in fact, in good shape. There is no longer drain on the gold reserves There is no financial strngency in sight anywhere The New York banks have recently been paying gold instead of bills checks for the reason that the treasury no longer needs desires gold and the banks have had to find a new outlet for it. For the first time in many years gold is being used as part of the circulating medium in the East Prosperity IS doing its work and doing 1t well. Our statesmen can face the prospect of with as much confi- dence as Dsraeli did and repeat his famous phrase,

found 1t so delightful that he immedi- ately accepted the opera, which will be played next season in the magnificent new home of the Opera Comique.
 Another operatie .'William Radcliff" is to be heard from. This time the com poser is the young Frenchman Xavier Leroux. The Opera Comique has ac- cepted the work for next season. though one can hardly imagine anything very comic being extracted from the work. which, of course, is inspired by Heine. It Is to be hoped that the new opera will prove more popular than Mascagnis "Radcliff has done. Mascagni's work. by the way, Is generally spelled Rat elf"
 At Carlsruhe new opera by Thille has just been produced under the direction of Felix Mottl. The work, which Is entitled ''Lobetanz," had a much more sponta- neous success than the same composers "Theuerdank,' which won the prize at Munich last year, and was played at the Theatre Royal of that town.
 Baron Albert Franchetti, the million aire composer of "Asrael," "Cristofero Colombo.' etc., is hard at work on a new opera. The libretto, which is by Luigi Illica, bears the title Germany" The story describes an incident of the war of 1906, just after Napoleon's victory at Jena.
 Feminine composers seem to get their works to the front in Italy more than in any other country, except perhaps in France. The latest opera announced from a woman's pen Is Max" by Sig nora Nissim-R -Rosselli. The Pagliano Theater. Florence, has accepted it. and the work will shortly be produced.
 A Cincinnati amateur has offered a prize of 5000 for the best cantata, with solos and choruses. to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the foundation of choral societies in this country. The competi- ton Is open to composers of all nationali- ties.
