OUR CANNED GOODS IN ENGLAND.

steady salmon market is reported. without any large dealings from first hands. though the consumptive demand is fairly good, says the London Grocers Gazette of June IS. For the 1898 pack there is but little if any business passing, the prices fixed for the new pack De- ing higher than the prices of spot goods, and hence an entire absence of lnducement to speculate. Supplies of Californian fruits are in such small compass that business IS re stricted. Prices continue high. More business has been done in the 1898 pack, for which the prices are about 30 per cent above those quoted at this time last year, and packers state that the pack will be a short one.

MR.. M'KINLEY'S VACATION.
Date of His Departure Not Yet De-
cided on.

Numerous inquiries have been made at
the White House as 10 when the Presi-
dent will go away on his vacation. To
these inquiries 1t is stated that he has
not yet decided when he will leave Wash
ington. Some of his friends have urged
him to make an early start and take a
long vacation so that he will be fully re-
cuperated and refreshed for the arduous
work before him when the Peace Com
mission gets down to work in Paris and
Congress meets In December.
1t is conceded that the approaching ses-
sion of Congress will be one of the most
important in the legislative annals, as
many mighty problems connected with
the war with Spain; the annexation of
Hawaii and the peace conclusions. Will
be presented for action. Then there VIII
be numerous side issues connected with
these great questions which will require
careful and skillful treatment at the
hands of the House, Senate and Presi-
dent
Yesterday afternoon it was stated at
the White House that Mr.. Mckinley had
almost decided not to leave Washington
until he goes to the Omaha exposition
during the first days of next month
But" said one of the Executive at.
taches, ''he may change his mind an6
leave earlier"

Among those who visited the War De-
partment yesterday were Major Generals

ed by Gen. Miles for the reorganization
of the army. A host of general and staff
officers in the volunteer service will be
discharged soon, and they are bringing
to bear all the influence possible to be
retained in the service.
Surgeon General Wyman, of the Ma
rine Hospital Service, has nearly COM
pleted his plan for the inspection of trains
on all the railroads in that portion of
Mississippi which is infected with yellow
fever. The surgeon general believes that
his system will do much to check the
spread of the disease.
The seven immune regiments in the
South are to be inspected by Lieut.. Col.
NJ. p. Maus, aide to Gen. Miles. The
lieutenant colonel left this city on his
tour of inspection last night. He will
visit the immune regiments at Jackson
Vile, Huntsville, Lexington and Calves
ton, after which they will be sent to Gu
ba and Porto Rico for garrison duty.
