sonnel Bin More Than Two Millions.
Washington, Feb. 13.-The entire
cost of the reorganization Of the navy
on the new lines, as proposed in the
pending personnel bill, will be $2,OO2,-
$50.
This fact Is set out in communica-
tIon to the United States Senate by Sec
retary Long in answer to a resolution
Of inquiry introduced by Senator Jones
Of Arkansas. Merging the line and en-
gineers, as is proposed In the bill, the
cost Of the combination would be $2,-

the total Of the present pay Of both
branches.
The increase in the pay of the marine
corps Is 81, ,22S 1888, which is accounted
for by the increase in the number Of
both officers and men. The new naval

The PennsyIvania Boys.

The last train of Pennsylvania SOL
diers passed eastward about 8 o'clock
this morning. The train stopped a
few minutes and the boys circulated
among the people on the platform.
They all seemed to be healthy and
happy and expressed themselves as
glad to get back to civilization once
more. One Of the soldiers told the
reporter that o of the regiment we're
killed in battles, 3 died from small
pox and fevers, and POP wounded.
None of them praised Otis manage
ment OF the campaign. The one in
terviewed by the INDEPENDENT said
that Otis might be good general,
but he was too tender hearted to con-
duct campaign against the Fill
pinos. The mon in the field would
get the the Filipinos into a trap
where they could be slaughtered by
the thousands when orders would
come from Otis to cease hostilities
and the Filiplnos would fall back In
the meantime and fortify places III
their rear. This, he said, occurred
several times. He said it needed
man in Otis place that had snap and
vim like General Mac Arthur.
Quite an amusing incident occur
red as the train pulled out. The
boys had ordered five barrels of beer
to be put on the train here. The
beer was on the platform ready to be
put on the train, but before this
could be done the train pulled out.
The men cinched the barrels and
made desperate efforts to get them
on the train, but only succeeded in
getting one barrel aboard. One of
the men refused to jump the train as
it moved out, declaring that he would
remain with the beer The soldiers
made the air blue with sulphurous
talk when they found they could not
get the beer aboard the train.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There lis only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constit utional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inaamed condition Of the mucous lin
ing Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infiamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing
and when it is entirely closed deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
fammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to it's normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur

There was narrow escape from a
rear end collision between two pas
senger trains in the Elko yard this
morning. One of the PENNSYLVANIA
soldier trains had pulled in and was
waiting for orders when a special
train carrying the Arion singers
came round the curve by the water
tank at 30-mile pace. The engineer
saw the train on the track ahead Of
him, reversed the engine, set the
brakes, and he and the fireman jump
ed from the engine. The momentum
OF the train carried it along the rails
to within less than a foot of the rear
end Of the soldier train. The train
carrying the Arion singers was in
charge Of Conductor Middleton and
had the right Of way. The soldier
train was delayed In the Carlin can
yon by breaking in two. This being
unknown to Conductor Middleton
came very near resulting i'll serious
accident.

ment, in response to the almost universal
bearish feeling on this side, which is likely
to continue unless crop conditions show a
radical change. The market this morning
was again demoralized, and prices went off
8 to 10 points, on scamper of longs, who
were dismayed by the weather and the good
Chronicle weather report for the week. A
rally of three points followed the early
break, but later another decline came,
which resulted in four to nine points
break for the day.
In view of the short decline up to this
time. there is a disposition to buy on all
little breaks, and to sell on rallies. AS to
the ultimate trend, the consensus of the
opinion is for a much lower market.

The matter of gold shipments is attract
ing much attention, but it is not consid-
cred alarming in any quarter. The move
ment of gold up to the end of the week
was about $4,000, 600, and there is the
prospect that perhaps 100000 more will
be shipped this week. Gold is needed in
Europe, or if it is not actually needed GER
tain interests are clamoring for more gold
in the Bank of England vaults America
has very large supply, and the ship
ment of $J0,000,000 or 20,000,0G0, more or
less, can do no harm, and produce no sug
gestion of stringency here. Money is loan
ing at the lowest rates and is lying idle.
AS a matter of fact, the supposition is
that the gold now being shipped is for
loans and that better rates of interest are
paid for it in Europe than can be secured
here, which is very far from an unpleas-
ant outlook.

The final week of June and OF the fiscal
year begins and there is every prospect
OF a strong and active stock market to
usher the old year out. The outlook at
the moment is the best that the market
has seen for many weeks. Or in other
words there is excellent evidence that the
public is beginning to buy stocks and that
the leaders will join in the movement at
the opening OF the session tomorrow or
soon after. The past month has not been
as many have described 1t, month of
weakness. Prices have not declined in the
railway list, and in many instances they
have advanced. The public has failed to
grasp the opportunity to buy stocks at the
low level of prices and with this element
out OF the market and the leaders taking
q few weeks rest the bears have succeeded
In preventing much rally, but this is a far
different thing from the declines OF two
months ago. Such being the actual mar
ket condition technically. ii was realized
that some good news was necessary 10 re-
yive the interest of the public. This has
been supplied this week in much better
reports from the Western wheat and corn
States The fine weather of the past two
weeks has overcome much Of the damage
done to portions OF the winter wheat crop
and accelerated the growth Of spring wheat
remarkably. and also OF corn. The farm
ers who few weeks were talking of plow-
ing up all their winter wheat and OF the
impossibility of raising more than a small
spring crop are now oyerioyed al the sit
uatlon and rushing their surplus from last
year 10 market. The street is quick to de-
tect such change OF sentiment and the
buying OF the grangers during the lat
ter part OF last week is evidence of this. Il
will be remembered that the disaster sto-
ries published broadcast in recent weeks,
and largely the manufacture OF the stock
1obbers, have been taken at very much less
than their face valuation in this column.
The developments show again as the same
thing has been shown many times defore
that fairly good crops have a way of show
ing up at last, despite the worst of predic-
tionn.
