DRY GOODS.

New York, Jan. 1.-THE dry goods stu
atlcn showed less change than expected
to-day. The market for cotton goods has
been strengthened slightly by strike news,
but no quotable advances were reported
made. The presence of a fair number of
buyers at first hands induced heavier trad
lng' but this IS still so irregular that de-
tailed gains cannot be located. There is
evidently q better tone TO the market for
cotton goods. Sellers feel better than here
tofore and are making no concessions

TORPEDO FLOTILLA

Reached the Cape Verd Islands, 1000
Miles From Porto Rico, on Saturday.
MADBID, April 4-The statement
cabled Friday night that the torpedo
fiotilla of Spain has arrived at Porto
Rico was taken from a newspaper
here Investigation shows the an
nouncement to be erroneous. The
Spanish fotilla has arrived at the
Cape Verd islands and it is said
will proceed after coaling
WASHINGTON, April 2.-The an
nouncement that the Spanish torpedo
fotilla was at the Cape Nerd is
lands, off the west coast of Africa. in
stead of at Porto Rico, was received
with a good deal of satisfaction at the
navy department, which was without
information OF its own on the where
abouts of the fotilla. The islands are
more than 1000 miles from Porto Rico
and it is the opinion of naval experts
that at the very best ten or twelve
days would be the least time within
which they could make the run across.

THE X RAY.
lts Cse on Board Of War Vessels and on the
Field In Case OF War


MILwAUKES, Wis, April 4.-Lynde
Bradley, an expert electrician OF this
city, has perfected plans for the use of
the X ray on board war vessels and on
the field, and in case of war will imme-
diately enlist in the govern
ment service. Mr. Bradley says
that while it would be simple
matter TO bring the X ray into
use on war ship that considerable
difficulty would be attached to the in
PRODUCTION of the machine on the
field. A small engine, boiler and dyna-
mo would have to be mounted on
wheels for field use and the X-ray ma
chine mounted on carriage. The ap-
paratus, however, will be much lighter
and more portable than may be imag-
ined and his field apparatus could be
furnished in week.
Il have been thinking of this matter
for months" said Mr.. Bradley Satur-
day, but have waited for hostilities
to begin before taking any active
steps The great help that the X Ray
would be 10 surgeons lies in the quick,
easy and painless method OF locating a
