 number of the industrial specialties.
 This was attributed to the expectation of decision by the United States su- preme court in a case bearing on the validity of the new form of industrial combination which has been so widely used In the last year. The industrials rallied considerably when the news came irony Washington that the deci- sion had not been handed down to-day, but the better feeling did not last. The downward course of prices was be- lieved to be largely due to the fact that large holdings of stock were thrown over last week to take advantage of the strong market caused by the bond redemption of the treasury department Last weeks buyers find no widespread demand for stocks for the public at large and the market has become con- siderably overweighted with specula- tive holdings waiting to realize. The outlook in the New York money mar ket continued favorable, although the offerings of government bonds for re- demption to-day were much smaller than on previous days. The easier money rate caused by the redemption money already released and the higher price which government bonds have attained encourage owners of the bonds to hold them. To-day's call loan rate ranged from 5 to 6 per cent. and the movement of New York exchange at interior points continued In favor of New York, promising relief from the pressure for funds from that source The probable future demands of the sub-treasury are more in doubt. The governments surplus tends to increase again as the month progresses and the sub-treasury debit balance at the clear ing house to-day was small, in spite of the governments cheeks for payment of unredeemed bonds.
 There was some profit-taklng in spec ulative bonds, but at other points in the list some strength was shown. Total sales, par value, s1,7O5O00. United States new fours advanced IA and old fours registered 1-s in the bid price.

 by Sampson, who at critical times sent
 his ships forty miles to coal. On page
 414 of the navy report Captain Sigs-

 One month later, on June 26, (page 502, naval reports,) Admiral Sampson it. was not until two days later, when necessary to speak, the American pub lie having fully placed the honor where it belongs Suffice it to say that the foolish argument that the battle was fought under Sampson's plan Is not tenable. If 1t Is, then Admiral Dewey had nothing whatever to do with the fight of Manila bay. The order to Dewey was You will find the Span .ish fleet and destroy it,. The order Sampson to his squadron was You will close on the entrance and sink them" Both orders were carried out, one by Dewey and the other by Schley, but if those giving the directions are responsible for the victory, then Crowninshield, Mahan and Company must take the credit from Dewey and Sampson that from Schley.
 The criticism of personal judgment of commanders during battle, particular ly Schley is so palpably for political purposes as to be unworthy of answer. The battle was won, as Sampson's own board shows, in greater measure by the work of Schley's fiagship's five and eight inch shells than by those of any other. On that ship were the only one either dead or wounded. and that ship was hit ten times as often as all the other ships combined. It was the Brooklyn and the Oregon that caught the Colon and made the days victory complete and it was of the Brooklyn that Admiral Cervera and Captain Eu- late said to me, She spoiled all our plane by her splendid manoeuvres" \
 Of Schley's personal bravery and coolness am an eye witness. Stand ing by his side during the five hours of fighting that memorable day, T. heard him give his orders, discuss move- ments with his officers, compliment men for their work, order Ellis body preserved for burial as he wiped the mans blood from his own face; told Captain Cook to keep the men below decks informed of advantages, call to the engine and boiler room heroes his encouragement, and when the battle was over and prisoners were expected aboard, ask the men not to cheer In exultation.

 the classification of "habitual criminal, '
 and the probability is that his wife will
 have a chance to marry again in four
 months and four days
 A case happened a week before I ar- rived in Jolo which illustrated how an habitual robber fared. The Datto Joka- nine is 41an of some wealth, which he keeps buried beneath his house. Ere quently he has occasion to send to vari- ous parts of his domain for money as tribute, and, at these times he has all ways sent one of his trusted followers.
 One day some, time ago this man was sent to bring the Datto certain sum of money, but when the bag was handed to the Datto the trusted follower flung himself on his knees and confessed that he had lost part of it in gambling. He kissed the Datto's hands and impIored forgiveness and promised never to do so again, and said that he was over whelmed with grief and humiliation, etc.
 The Datto forgave him, but told him never to let it happen again, for if 1t did the punishment would be swift and terrible.
 Well, it happened again on the very next trip on which the trusted follower was sent for money. Once more there were lamentations. and appeals and vows of eternal reformation.
 Didn't tell you that I would punish you severely the next time this hap pened?" said the Datto. Didn't I warn you that you would be killed? What do. you mean?" etc., etc., thundered the Datto, as he glared at the penitent boot lick at his feet

 And now comes the part of the story which illustrates how great are the destinations of gambling When the trusted follower went again for money Or his master he looked in on little yame, and, forgetful of his dire experi- 'nces in the past, he plunged sufficient y long to tighten his load of 'dobe dol | ars.

Criticisms of One Who Was on tho

Criticisms of One Who Was on tho
 Brooklyn at Santiago,
 After eighteen months of waiting Secretary Long of the Navy has writ ten a aasurrepritious letter to the presi- dent attacking Admiral Schley an6 his friends and asserting that the lat ter are the ones responsible for the controversy and that their attacks are uncalled for, ns the department has not persecuted the Admiral, but treated him better than he deserved. That the latter was never intended for publica- tion, but that 1t was to be a covert at tack for the presidents eye only, is evinced by the fact that the New York organ of the Navy Department, which has been kept we'll supplied with material for it's venomous attacks up on Schley ever since it decided to apos- tate itself and renounce its opinion as expressed in its early stories of the campaign off Southern Cuba, was com pelled to translate the document from a Southern German paper.
 "Schley's friends" says the secre- tary, are responsible. Indeed, Mr. Secretary, you must have sadly mis- judged who Schley's friends were and are.
 Was it Schley's friends who took out of the list of captains the second man down on that list and promoted him over the heads of seven commodores and two captains, many of them men who had done conspicuously gallant services!
 Was it Schley's friends who shipped to China the present hero, Admiral Dewey, to get him out of the way of aampsors promotion?
 was it Schley's friends who planned the abortive attempt to find the Span- ish fleet at Puerto Rico and induced Sampson, without learning definitely of it's whereabouts, to turn tail and run for home, dragging at the stern of the Iowa and Indiana huge useful moni- tors. running these two ships for fu- ture rapid service during the war?
 Was it Schley's friends who prevent ed Sampson from coming around the south end of Cuba with his fleet at the time of his return from Puerto Rico, and so intercepted the Spanish fleet:
 Was it Schley's friends who induced Sampson to insist that the Spanish fleet would make for Cienfuegos, and

WAVES OF ETHER.
A Remar%able Medium That We Arr
Told Fills All Matter and
All Space.

The phenomena Of wireless teleg-
raphy are most marvellous from the
purely scientific side. They show us
that this remarkable medium, the ether,
winch encompasses us about on every
side, penetrating the densest as well as
the rarest forms of matter and filling
the Whole OF celestial space, is in a state
OF endless disturbance, crossed and re-
crossed by waves in infinite variety.
In his address on the six Gateways of
knowledge" Lord Kelvin has called at
tention to the vast gap between 400
vibrations per second, the sound of
rather high tenor voice, and 400 900 000,-
cooper second, the number of vibrations
corresponding to dull red Night, and
therefore the lowest rate in the spec
trum." But, now that Hertz has given
us ether waves millions of miles long,
how enormously had this range been
widened? Within this range there is
room for 20 senses, in place of five, each
equal in range to those we have at pres
ent; and if each should reveal to us as
much as does the eye what an amazing
wealth of knowledge would be ours.
Indeed, Lodge has suggested an elec-
trical theory of vision based on CO.
herent action.
But why may not these Hertzian
waves have been already utilized by our
organism? We are told that the day
that Gen. Gordon was killed at Khar-
toum the people in the streets and ba-
Ears of Cairo knew of it, though the dis
tance in direct line is 1000 miles and
no telegraph connects these cities. And
a aBrtsh officer in Afghanistan narrates
that information of the intended move
ment of troops during the war at dis
tances of so or 100 miles away was
known to the natives at these points al
most Immediately, though no signaling
of any sort could be detected. What
worlds of possible sensation lie about
us in these ether waves; and, when
these are fully recognized with what
tremendous capabilities will the human
race be endowed! In the eloquent
words of Tyndall: The air about us
may be full of Heavens hallelujahs,
while we hear only the feeble whisper
ofour rown prayers. ."-George +. Barker,
