.NDNANCEIN COFFEE.

After two years of an unprecedented de-
cline in the price of coffee, an advance of
one and quarter cents pound for the
green and half cent a pound for the
roasted article has stirred up some excite
ment IN the trade
The proposition to put Il tax of 1 cents 4
pound upon coffee, chang ing conditions Of
the trade and the war talk are the factors
which have checked the downward ten
dency and caused the advance in prices.
Owing to the demoralized condition of the
market for tho past two years the stocks
in the interior of the country have in many
instances been kept down to actual neccs-
sites.
Serious attention has been given of late
to the proposition to put Il tax on coffee.
which has been up at various times, but
dismissed without any definite attempt to
enact such a law. As a means Of raising
revenue in case of war, it is now receiving
consideration, and il is calculated that the
government could raise $2g, COG. 600 year
from this source. As the result of this
agitation there has been heavy buying to
fill up the stocks of the interior.
Some of the leaders in the coffee roast
ing business regard the advance as the
forerunner of better prices, and large or
dcrs have been refused at the figures rul-
ilg before the advance. The prospects
for the new crop indicate that it will not
be as large as the one now being closed
out July is the opening of the crop year,
and estimates now place the new crop at
about 2,000,000 bags less than the present
one.
On April 20, 1896. the price of standard
brands of roasted package coffee was 81!
cents Il pound, and on April 1, 1898, it was
9! cents a pound, decline of - cents a
pound in two years

NAVY NEED OF MEN,

Enlistmen,s for the navy of all classes
of men have been so slow that the author
tiles have decided to draw on the Pacific
coast vessels for men and to trust to the
activity of officers at San Francisco and
other coas. cities to supply the demand
that will follow the completion of the
Charleston, Philadelphia, and other ships
preparing for service.
Instructions issued to the commandment
of the Mare Island navyyard direct that
he send all the men that can be spared
without injury to the service at once, and
under orders sent 10y Col. Haywood, COM
mandant of the marine corps, a large de-

There are probably 900 men at Mare Is

HOPKINS EItSITl.

The trustees of the Johns Hopkins Uni
verstv Monday, at their first regular
monthly meeting since the State approprl-
alton, adopted a minute expressing their
grateful. appreciation of the act OF the Leg
islature by which the university is to re-
ccyc from the State the sum of $4,000
annually for two years. The minute also
expressed the trustees qualification that
the people of Maryland through their
chosen representatives, through the con-
ductors OF the newspaper press and
through the expressions Of particular in
dividuals, have shown that the work of
this great educational institution is APP
preciated and entitled to public support"
During the meeting the univcrsity's SER
vice to the State was discussed and figures
were offered which show that six of the
professors, five of the associate professors
and twenty seven assistants of the staff
were Marylanders. 1t also appears that
of the Maryland students who were grad
uated at the university up to June 1897,
one sixth won the honor of Il fellowship
or scholarship emitting them to free tut
tion and in many cases cash bonus.
The trustees decided to hold the annual
commencement exercises of the university
on June 18th.

MAINE WRECK ABANDONED.

The Secretary of the Navy has ordered
Maine to abandon the job and return
home. All the guns that could he recov-
cred were secured before Captain Si%sbee
left Havana, and of the great battery that
the Maine carried when she sailed into the
harbor but few of the guns, except the
rapid fire, have been found. Somewhere
on the starboard side is the turrct stationed
forward, with two 10 inch guns probably
in it. As this turrct was near the locality
of the explosion, it is not believed by tn
ordnance officers that the guns could be
repaired if recovered
Those in the aft turret on the port side
will be of no use to the Spanish authors
ties or anyone else, on account OF the steps
taken by Captain Sigsbec before he came
north by which the brcech blocks were re-
moved and brought away Without the
brecch blocks the guns are utterly useless,
and nowhere probably but at the gun fac
tory at Washin gton could the same pattern
be supplied 1t is likely that before the
wrcckcrs leave Havana they will be
directed to Llace cans of acid in the guns,
so that the rifiing may be destroyed and
all parts of the Guns thus made ineffective
for any purpose. The secondary battery
not rescued is believed by Captain Sigsbec
to have been wrecked by the explosion.
These guns are light, and if they were not
al hn IA hIlrlnl
away from the scene of the explosion.
What disposition, if any, the govern
mcnt will make of the wreck is to be later
determined. 1t is not probable that the
navy will offer to destroy her with dyna-
mite in order to clear the harbor of an oh
struction which will be dangerous to ship
ping so long as the vessel is there. The
hauling down of the flag which has tloated
over her masthead since February 16 last
practically abandons the vessel to the
Spanish authorities when the wreckers
leave, but it is not believed by the officials
that they will make any steps toward re-
moving the wreck until this government
formally notifies Spain that it will be at
liberty to do SO.
Captain Sigsbee has never believed from
the night that the Maine sank that it was
possible to get her to the surface and tow
her back to the United States, or that any
part of the ship was worth saving except
the ordnance The four big guns in the
two turrets represented about 5000 900,
and if these could have been rescued, tive

THE ARCLOUDS BRExKING

President did not deliver the
message to Congress Wednesday that
was generally expected, just what
the reasons are for this delay is not
likely to be given to the public at pres
cnt. and alex planations Of it from con-
jectural sources may be received with
great allowance.
The Philadelphia 1tnaes says: The
attitude of the administration on the
Spanish troubles is now well under
stood by the country and the world.
The message thatwas prepared and in.
t.nded to be semitic Congress Wednes-
dav. doubtless defines the settled and
lrrevocable policy OF this government
i'll meeting the issue with Spain. 1t
does not propose the recognition OF
..-eabaa4 independence, for the very good
=. reason that the independence of a new
nation can be recognized only when its
independence is,f:lirly established: but
intervention in Cuban affairs has be-
come such an imperious necessity, that
this government could no longer delay
aggressive steps to halt the fendish
barbarity that is cloaked under assumed
war between Spain and the Cuban in
surgents.
"The form OF Intervention in Cuban
affairs that must come from this gov
rrnment. will relate chiefly to the SUI
preme demands of humanity. Spain
has proved her inability to suppress
the Cuban Instruction after three
years of warfare. conducted by 4 Span
ish army that would under all ordinary
circumstances be an overwhelming
force. 1t outnumbered the military
power Of the insurgents fully five to
one, and vet no substantial military
success has been achieved. On the
contrary, the Cuban insurgents are
stronger to-day than they have been at
any time since the conflict began more
than three years ago.
Great as has been the loss of life.
from legitimate causes since the war
began, it does not approach the sacri-

HENRY MOLLER.
He is Very Much Wanted by His
Sister Henrietta

Mrs. Henrietta Bruning of Cincinnati,
O., has written to Mayor Land a re-
quest that he shall try to locate her
brother, Henry Moller. The latter left
Germany when he was about 20 years
old, and the last she heard of him was
that he lived in California and was the
owner of some mines. She doesn't know
in what part of the State he lives.
She says she is very anxious to find
her brother, and is certain he would
like to see her. She adds:
IF you can't find him. ask your
friends or relatives, and perhaps they
can find him or find out about
him. Try and find him. My
friends tell me he has gold and silver
mines in California Perhaps l can do
you a favor sometime when you need
it, and | will thank you very much for
your kindness if you succeed in finding
him..
Mrs. Brunings full address is Hoffner
street, west of Colerain avenue, Cum
minsville, Cincinnati, O.
