Russia's Seasick Navy.

Any man who believes in the Rus+
sian navy should keep his eyes off the
Russian bluejacket. A real sailorman
has fingers bent up like fishhooks from
the lifelong habit Of gripping things.
The Russian sailor carries his hands
like a soldier and cannot possibly be
handy" A sailors gait ashore has
a slight roll An the rolling gait
marks one of the sailors finest quail
ties-balanCe. Unless the body poises
and balances to meet every motion of
the ship the result is seasickness.
Now, the Russian bluejacket does
not roll in his gait ashore, but marches.
Neither has he any sense of balancing
at sea, and seasickness in the Russian
fleet is a source of actual weakness
and danger The Black Sea squadron
can only put to sea in the three calm
est months Of summer, and the so-
called moneuvers take place ashore on
the Kenai peninsula, consisting merely
of battalion drill
One more trait of the real sailor is
his self-reiance, which makes him AZ
for facing emergencies single.handed.
But the Russian bluejacket has none
Of this. He is not machine in him-
self. but only a little bit of machine
which cannot work without the other
bits He is huge i'm stature a giant
compared with our men-but in his
winter overcoat it is impossible to dis
tinguish him from a soldier. IN
handy, seasick and reliant only on
drill discipline, he is utterly unfit for
active discipline

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE.
No Sign of Hating at the End of
Three Years of Progress-Evi-
dences of Prosperity.

New York, July 21.-R. G. Dun G. Cos.
in their Weekly Review of Trade will
say:
Optimism is always popular but more
than half the time dangerous. Seven
years of halting and reaction historically ,
follow three Of rapid progress. But the
three of progress have not yet passed and
the most cautious search disclpses no
sign of halting. Foreign anXieties have
been real but seem to be passing and
Europe has begun paying literally for
more food without expectation that se-
curities can he sent in settlement. The
extensive labor strikes have vanished
and the local strikes do not effect ma
tional business. Fears of new and pow
erful corporations lessen as it is found
that they are controlled by the same
laws which govern the small companies.
Above all the general evidences of pros
perty continue. Official returns Of tho
most wonderful year in the nations COM
mcrCe show a decrease of $S5, 100000 in
value of the great staples exported,
largely owing to prices, but an increase
OF about $50 900 in other exports, most
ly manufactures. Fear of deficient crops
have been buried under. Western re-
ceipts from farms amounting to 49, 046
bushels of wheat for the month thus far
against 3,173, los last year and 15,29S 6j5
DuSHtlS CbIu Against O,OlEolO ldSl year.
Exports of wheat, Atlantic and Pacific
have been 100 1893 bushels during the
month thus far against 7,399,259 last
year. and of corn 9O93,O1 against 5,097,-
So last year. Prices declined SHARPLY
with assurance of ample supplies, wheat

significant in view Of the previous heavy
exports of both. Cotton also is going
abroad largely, though the price remains
6.l9 cents. Pig iron has not advanced
this week but mainly finished products,
steel rails to $40 at Pittsburg, billets to
S34; sheet bars to S35.5 so; sheets to cents
at Pittsburg and cut and wire nails both

The American Tin Plate company set
tied with its hands by granting 10 per
cent. more wages and raised the price Of
plates 80 cents per box. Still demands do
not abate, though works have to refuse
many orders. In plates one large order
for shipment to the Clyde was received:
in bars less urgency of demand appears
at the east but in sheets works are about
filled for the year and instructural shapes

George Biglin, of Pittston avenue,
was arraigned before Alderman Lentes
last evening on charge of assault and
battery committed on the person OF
William Thomas, of Elmhurst Mrs.
Elizabeth Thomas appeared as prose-
cutrix. From the evidence adduced 1t
appears that Thomas classified n
younger brother of Bigln and used
severe means in doing so. Upon hear
ing of this. young Biglin proceeded to
the Thomas home, where. it Is claimed,
the assault was committed
Several witnesses were sworn for the
prosecution when Biglin was put on
the stand. He denied the charge of
assault in toto, but admitted censuring
Thomas for his chastisement of his
younger brother. He was corroborated
in his testimony by several witnesses.
The alderman considered the evidence
insufficient to hold the young man and
therefore discharged him with a Sc
we're reprimand.

FOR BEATING HIS DAUGHTER.

Before Alderman Ruddy. Thursday
evening" Bryan Scahill. of Irving ave-
nue., was accused by his daughter n
girl of 16 years, of cruelty beating her
The trouble arose from the question as
to how long she should be allowed to
stay out after dark. 1t seems that one
evening this week the girl was out
quite late and on her return home her
father classified her in manner not
very mild.
The next day she left home and went
to reside with her grandmother. who
lives in the same vicinity as the Sea-
hills. After informing her grandmother
of her reason for leaving her home, she
went before Alderman Ruddy and gave
the information which led to her
fathers arrest. At the hearing Scahill
did not deny the charge of beating his
child and gave sufficient reasons for
so doing. The charge of cruelty, he
claimed, was malicious. The alderman,
after some deliberation, considered the
evidence sufficient TO hold him and
fixed the bail at 5000, which Scahill
secured,

FRANFORTER INJURED.

John Franforter, a youth of IL years,
residing with his parents on Reming-
ton avenue, was seriously injured on
the Delaware and Hudson railroad near
the steel works station yesterday af-
ternoon. An engine with a train of
cars was standing at the station wait
ing for orders, when young Franforter
espied two cartridges attached to the
rail under one of the cars. His curios-
ity being aroused, he proceeded to find
out what they were composed Of and
accordingly he crept under the car and
was about to remove one of the cart
ridges when the train started Not
being quick enough to get out of his
dangerous position, he was struck by
the flying powder from the cartridge
and his face was badly torn. Luckily
enough he got out from under the car
before the wheels could reach him, and
with the exception of the injury to his
face he was unhurt. DR.. Quinn was
called and dressed the injuries to his
face.
