AN EXPERT OPINION.
Army and Navy Journal Believes the
Explosion Due to SpOntan-
eous COmbustion

New York, Feb. 1S.-The Army and Navy
Journal will say tomorrow, regarding the
cause of the Maine disaster:
AT the present time of writing. indica-
tions favor the presumption that the ex-
plosion of the Maine was due to the spon-
taneous combustion of coal in the forward
bunker. producing a temperature sufficient
to overhead the intervening buk-heads and
thus effect the explosion of the ammuni-
ton stored in the adjacent magazines.

The people of the United States have
never been called upon TO distrust one of
the coordinate branches of this govern
ment, and they never will while the flag
floats. Least of all is 1t decent, in INV
opinion, that. in this chamber there should
be insinuations cast, at this critical time
that there is a lack, in the minds of the
people of the United States, of confidence
in the navy of our country. Mr.. President.
from the time of Paul Jones until now, our
ships have sailed in every war, face always
to the foe. The records of our naval bat
ties are the most glorious pages in the
history of our country for the last 100
years. and from the earliest days until now
there has never been step backward To-
day, as always. the officers of our navy
are honorable, courageous, upright men,
and, above all, they tell the truth.
THE captain of this Inflated battleship
was walking his deck at 10 o'clock on the
night of the 18th, when this awful ex-
plosion happened. 1t may be that his
public career is ended forever, but the
awful disaster that overlook his ship will
count for nothing by comparison with the
degraded insinuation made here that an
officer of our country, with the oath and
with the flag above him, would lie and
cast responsibility where it did not belong.
All. Mr.. President, we can stand much of
discussion and debate; we can endure much
of public discussion when there should he
silence. but there is one thing this coun-
try can never stand. and that Is to listen
without resentment to an insinuation that
the officers of our navy are not men OF
honor and integrity and OF truth.

Mr.. Hale Interrupts.


Mr.. Hale here interrupted Mr.. Mason to
make a statement. He said that so far from
having any desire for delay he was anxious
TO have it go forward from this very time
as the investigation proposed by the navy
department would If not interfered with.
There was no proposition to postpone in
Quiry. The whole subject matter was even
now undergoing investigation. and in view
of the promptness which had been exer-
cised there was no reason for impugning
the motives of the officials of the depart
ment. This being the true state of affairs.
there was no occasion for a discussion of
incidental matters. The members of the
board selected to investigate the Maine dis
aster were not officers of that ship, and
they had already been summoned TO appear
as witnesses before the investigators. In
view of this fact, he thought the senate
could reasonably wait few days until the
results Of the investigation could be given
TO the public.
lis any one so much interested as are the
navy department and the officers of that
department in ascertaining the real facts
and in locating the responsibility for the
disaster? Who could conduct the investi-
cation so well as they. or who do as much
TO get at the bottom of the facts?'
He hoped the senate would see the pro-
priety of not making this an occasion for
infammatory speeches and that all would
take the view that, in the presence of the
great calamity which had befalien US. a
calamity which had appalled, the whole
world, to-day was not the proper time for

MEETS WITH OBJECTION.
The Proposition to. Tax Mining Stock
Brokers.


Brokers.
Several of the mining stock brokers
do not take kindly to the proposition
now pending before the city council to
impose an annual license tax of $25 on
all persons who are engaged in the
business of buying and selling shares
of incorporated companies. The coun-
cilmen who favor the passage of the
ordinance cite the fact that the brokers
are now in clover and should be made
to help pay municipal expenses, the
same as is REQUIRED of less fortunate
merchants and other tradeSmen. On
the other hand, the stock exchange
manipulators claim as reason why
they should not be taxed, that they are
public benefactors, and besides, when
no deliveries of stock certificates follow
sales. as is frequently the fact, the
business is one of dealing in margins,
and, therefore, constitutes a species of
gambling, that is, in measure, I'M
lawful, and not licensable, as court
decisions have held. But this conten-
ton is ridiculed by many, and not less
so than the claim that, as public bene-
factors, brokers should be exempt from
a license tax Those who hold to this
view make the point that the broker
age business is no more publicly bene-
fetal than is merchandising, hotel
keeping or any other business that is
licensed for city revenue purposes. The
fate of the brokers' license ordinance
is still in doubt in the city council, but
the chances of its passage are a little
more than even.

AT THE Y. NJ. C. A.
Two Services of Unusual Interest
Held Yesterday Afternoon.

The two services at the Y. NJ. C. A.
yesterday afternoon, although not
largely attended, were of more than
usual interest. The Bible class was
conducted by Rev. Richard Wake, the
subject being THE Confusion of
Tongues" A number of interesting
questions came IN in connection with
the lesson, and the class entered heart
;lv into the discussion
The mems meeting was presided over
by Secretary Axton, and was addressed
by Rev. w. H. Bagby, the pastor of
the Central Christian church. The
lesson was from the parable of the
talents, and the speaker emphasized the
fact that every man has a particular
talent to use in Gods service, and he
should discover and make right use of
it. Next Sunday afternoon Rev w. D.
P. Bliss of Boston is to deliver a special

Although 1 believe it IS said that
there has been no conflict in which
there was so large a percentage of Of
