rom 81 % to $1.06. The stock market
during the early part of the day alb
sorbed very large line Of offerings to
1iouidate profits and the selling for
London account was also over $4,000
shares. The general demand for stocks
through commission houses was suf-
fcient to take up these offerings at a
well sustained level of prices. There
was evidence also of the operation of
bull pools here and there in the list
notably in some of the low priced
stocks. which are usually almost in
active and immovable.
The strength impaired to these stocks
helped to sustain the market, and with
the rally from the opening weakness
in the west the market there came a
period of aggressive strength in stocks
which lifted prices substantially above
last nights level. The late decline was
affected on a much smaller volume OF
offerings than was well absorbed in
the morning dealings. Short selling
by the bears was conspicuous. A slump
Of over 4 points in tobacco also had its
effect in the late weakness. There
we're fractional recoverieS before the
close which was firm at net losses of
over a point in some cases. Time loans
were offered to-day at 4 per cent up to
four months, and prime mercantile pa
per was also quoted over at SOS per

in the rates for sterling exchange in

the large selling of securities here for

HUMORS OF WAR.

Grim-visaged war has it's humorous as we'll as it's terrible side, and Cap tain General Blanco is not the only humorist in the present conflict. The cablegram to Madrid from that re- doubtable commander about the mule that was killed at Matanzas set two continents a-laughing and thousands of rhymers to writing verses. And it is dull day when he does not in a dis patch to the Spanish government de- stroy several American men-of-war.
 But as a humorist the captain at Ma nila who requested a cessation of hos tilities while he sent ashore for more ammunition is entitled to the cake. The Petrel of Dewey's fleet chased a gunboat up the Pasig river. Seeing he was cornered, the captain of the Spanish gunboat went to the Petrel in a small boat under a flag of truce to make terms. The American captain told him he must surrender or fight ''We are willing to fight" replied the Spaniard. Please allow us to send for ammunition, because our store is exhausted"
 There was decidedly no humor, how ever, in the misuse of the flag of truce by the Spanish captain, Sasta at the Cavite arsenal. He hoisted a white flag when he was sore pressed, and when the Americans, believing he had surrendered, came to take possession they found the Spaniards still under arms. The withdrawal of the troops with their arms pending negotiations for surrender was an instance of treachery and bad faith.

HURRY THE SHIPS.

Another little vessel, the gunboat Princeton, is now available. That suggests the question whether our SUD- ply of fighting ships is going to be kept up if the war continues for pro- tracted period. It might as we'll be noted that the Spanish are much better of than we are as regards completing tonnage. of strictly fighting class. It is about time for the Cardinal Cis- neros and the Cataluna, two 7,0O0-ton vessels, to be ready for service The battleship Pelayo has just been over hauled and re-armed and re-boilered The old Vittoria and her sister have also recently come from the gun smiths. To be sure, these vessels have not been properly tested in the hurry of outfitting, but they will be in pretty fair trim. On our part, though five battleships are now building, enough to put an impenetrable wall of steel around Cuba, the two which are near est completion have been in want oa armor for some time. fc IS sa1d that to an extent work has been retarded on them in order to fit out the auxil- iary ships. A wiser plan would have been to hasten the contracts.

CURING THE MULE.

I was riding along mountain road in east Kentucky when I saw a mule ! running toward me with singletree dangling at his heels, says a writer in the Washington Star. With great difficulty l succeeded in getting out Of his way, and he continued to go down the mountain at a lively pace.
 About mile further on I saw two front wheels of spring wagon, and short distance away the other wheels and the wagon box. looked around to see If the driver had been hurt; but finding no one, I drove on. In a few minutes I met a man walking rather quickly down the road.
 Stranger" he asked, "did you see mule down that road?"
 "Yes."
 Did he have rag over his year?"
 T didn't see any"
 "Waal, it's all right. reckon 'e'll stop when s gets flustered out, an I reckon 'e's cured"
 What is he cured of?" I asked.
 "Balkin'. You see, I heerd that grasshopper put in tn year O hoss or mule d cure i'm from balkin'. So I tied a rag over the critters year so it couldn't get out, cotched a grasshopper, put i'm in, an,' stranger, it's the best I ever seed. Tn mule didn't give me no time to get in the wagon. I never seed a mule so sprightly. I reckon tn hopper's got out now, an I'll go and cotch the mule.'

The coolness with which Commodore
 Dewey interrupted the battle for
 breakfast is decidedly humorous. The crews of the warships were shut up
 below decks, with hot boilers within and tropical sun without, and the intense heat would possibly have done more damage than the Spanish guns. So breakfast time came most oppor- tunely. But it is not likely that a great battle was ever deliberately in- terrupted before upon the sound of the breakfast bell.
 An incident tcCk place at the battle Of Mobile bay when a breakfast was kept waiting for the close of hostili- ties. Rear Admiral James B. JOuett of Montgomery county, Md, then a lieutenant commander, was in com mand of vessel. A lieutenant named Murphy, who had resigned from the United States navy, had command of one Of the small confederate boats in the bay. Jouett and Murphy had been warm friends before the war at the naval academy. So Jouett had de- l1ghtful breakfast prepared and then set himself to capture Murphy's boat. This he succeeded in doing after some delay, and Murphy came aboard with his arm in a sling to surrender his sword in the most formal manner. In- stead of taking the sword JOuett re- preached Murphy for keeping break fast waiting. Upon seeing the feast who was very hungry, said: "Jouett, if you had only sent me word about this breakfast would have sur rendered an hour ago.''-Baltimcre Sun

 A recently patented punching bag frame has the bag hung on a rigid rod, with a universal joint at the top and pneumatic ring around the frame to form a cushion for the rod to strike against.
 When a newly designed fountain pen fails to work an auxiliary pen can be pushed down to take it's place by operating a sliding ring on the holder, the second pen being intended for use with an ink bottle
 To excavate dirt from cellars or river beds new machine has an end less chain revolving on wheels on op- posite sides of the excavation, with buckets or scrapers, to be attached to the chain and scrape the dirt up to a place where it can be carted away.
 Bicycles can be fitted with a new pavement cleaning device to keep the wheel from getting muddy, which is made of cylinder brush held in a frame ahead of the front wheel and geared to the axle to revOlve and sweep the street as the wheelman rides along.
 Dead centers on bicycle cranks are eliminated by a new sprocket wheel, which has a curved slot cut on one side of the center, in which a lug on the movable crank fits, and is held in place by rubber pad, which throws the crank out of line when pressure of the foot is released.
 A new vehicle tire Is composed of an inflatable tube, on the running surface of which is placed a V-shaped' shoe ot cork, toughened by immersion in a heated liquid, composed of alcohol camphor and giycerine, the sole pro- tecting the tube from puncture.

WE REQUIRE PREPARATION

If the military editor of the Gazette
 will devote a few minutes to perusa] of our interesting Washington special
 this morning he will come to a better
 understanding of the cause of the de- lay in prosecuting the war. And if he will look up the records of the con-
 gress since the war of the rebellion
 he will find that some of the most
 prominent democrats of the country
 have exerted themselves to defeat any
 movement looking to the equipment of the army on a scale commensurate with the size and resources of this country.
 An army to be effective requires shoes, clothing and discipline. The volunteer army is woefulIy de- ficient in these necessities. Pres tdent Mckinley has planned to pre- vent another Bull Run, and he will succeed. He. is not to be moved by the critics. While the delay is vex- atious he is not to blame We saw in the last war the folly of yielding to the "On to Richmond" clamor Con eress having failed to prepare the country for war the president now is face to face with the task. He will execute it well and as fast as possible In the meantime the country must wait.

There is a field in Arizona for at least one, high class newspa- per. The people of this terri tory are readers, and they are quick to show their apprecia- tion of newspaper enterprise. That is why they are giving such generous support to The Republican. That is why this newspaper prints more news and uses more white paper every day than any other paper in the territory. That is why new perfecting press will soon be added to the equipment of this office.
 The field is here. The Repub- lican is here to fill it. Watch this paper grow.

When we have disposed of the ST

When we have disposed of the Span ish fleet and fed the reconcentradcs and freed the country districts of Cuba of Spaniards, it would be good idea to reduce Havana by a siege. We should save our own men and give Blanco's troops little experience in recommendation that they have long deserved on general principles. Nor is the populace of Havana any better than the Spanish troops.
