In the navy there are seven flags des-
grating ranks aside from the special one
pertaining TO the Secretary of the Navy.
Next to his is the Assistant Secretary $,
an exact counterpart of the former eX-
cept that the colors are reversed.
All the remaining flags have blue field
and white stars the order being: For ad-
mrals, four stars for vice admirals,
three stars; for rear admirals, two stars
for c0mmodores, one star in center of blue
pennant The captains pennant is a strip
Of bunting fifteen feet long, with 10 stars
II a blue field and a red and white stripe.
Last Of an is a small triangular pennant
with dead blue field, denotlng the senior
officers presence in the absence of the
captain Of d ship
There are seven sizes of flags used in
the navy running down from 36 feet
10 feet in length. The first five sizes
are designated officially as ship" flags,
anu the remaining two are boat" flags.
Sizes No I and No. are now almost OBJ

mo YELLING AT THE PILOT"

The President and his advisers are so
busy with their own plans that they have
no time for examining and weighing the
plans of others for conducting the war.
This is fortunate. The country is looking
to the regularly constituted authorities
for whatever is best to be done, and In
the end will hold them responsible II
success is achieved--not in every individ-
ual effort made, but in the general pur-
pose, they will be rewarded with approval.
Ii there is failure, they will be condemned.
They are wise, therefore, in going their
own gait. 1t is comforting, too, to feel. in
the midst of so much outside suggestion,
some of which is full of fault-finding,
that they have a bit of qualification for
their work. Soldiers are in charge of the
army and sailors in charge of the navy
Such shoemakers as are busy are not
clothed with official authority. They are
pegg.ng away on their own hook But
with every right. This is free country
II is just possible, too, that the Presi-
dent and his advisers are not worrying
over foreign criticism of American war
methods. The German emperor's opinion
of our land forces is not important Will
liam H. by virtue of his official station,
has read some books on tactics and man
eavers, but the probability is that in a
real engagement in the field, making the
forces on each side equal, General Joe
Wheeler could bag him without any great
trouble by virtue of a superior knowledge
of war. What some French admiral may
think of our sea fighting is of no more
value. There are reasons for believing
that Dewey, Sampson and Schley know
their business.
1t is plain enough, too, that some of
these self-consttuted boards of strategy
are not recruited from the really gifted
of the earth. Gentlemen sitting in cock
lofts in newspaper buildings In New York
and elsewhere, and writing in conformity
with fake specials and partisan bias, are
not always entirely clear in their fulmina-
tons. There is warrant now and then
for suspecting that they could not launcn
a paper boat and sail 1t across the surface
of trimming washtub, or successfully
plan to take a jack-ra bbit in a field of
stubble.-W ashington Star.

MINING STOCKS.
PRODUCE.

Chicago, May 23-Fine weather, low
er cables and the promise Of an early
harvest weakened wheat to-day. Prices
declined 1ac in July, 1A@1asc lower
for September. Corn lost Zee and oats
A@%c. PROVISIONS showed declines
of 10G12kc. Lower quotations from
Liverpool and bright sunshine at home
started the wheat bears all over the eX-
change into activity to-day. The coun-
try news on the whole was of the most
favorable character not only as to the
promised heaviness OF the yield, but
also the prospect of an early harvest.
September was SO freely offered that it
sold at SSMc before buyers appeared in
any great number. The relief from the
selling pressure came from the bidding
up Of July, which was quite easily eff
fected on account of the small open in
terest in it. Ii rose from $1.091a in Zee
Jumps between every fresh transaction
until it was up to $1141a, and the eff
feet on September put the latter to
9Ohc. While Letter was apparently
giving good support to July his brok-
ers were selling September freely. Ev-
cry one feared a demonstration in May
and predictions were made of a rise to
week. The news of a statistical char
acter was for the most part exceedingly
bearish, the only exception to that be-
ing a considerable falling off in Min
neapolis and Duluth receipts, which to-
day were 500 cars against 819 the previ-
GUS Monday and compared with 62 the
similar day of last year. Chicago, how

clergyman, noted both for his eloquence
and his biblical knowledge. In the
course of his talk he had occasion to
mention what anniversary of the resur-
rection of Christ the recent Easter was.
By some unaccountable means the fig
ures failed to come to his memory, and
he pulled out pencil and endeavored
to reach what he wanted by mathemati-
cal process. Even this proved fail
ure, however, although several trials
were made.
AT last he gave up in despair, and,
turning and looking the congregation
full in the face, he said impressively:
Never mind the figures. Thank good
