THE suLu AaREEMENr.
An On,cial Statement Concerning II
May BE Issued.

An Official Statement Concerning II
May BE Issued.
It has been officially announced at the
War Department that the contents Of the
so-called treaty agreement with the Sultan
of the Sulu Islands, made by Gen. John C.
Bates, acting on behalf of the United
States. will not be given to the publ: un-
til after Congress conyenes. As stated in
The Times, the matter was brought up for
discussion at the Cabinet meeting yester-
day and was the subject Of attention dur
ing the greater part Of the session. 1t Is
stated on excellent authority that several
of the Cabinet officers endeavored to per-
suade the President to give the full text
Of the treaty to the public at the earliest
possible time. in order, it is said, to check-
mate the effort which is being made In
Ohio Maryland, and Kentucky to make
political capital OF the alleged claims in
the treaty, which permit slavery and poly
gamy.
1t IL said that much pressure was
brought to bear upon the President. who
finally refused, pointing out as his reason
the fact that he had never violated the es-
tablished rules OF the Departments in Civ
ing out information customarily withheld,
for the purpose of affecting political cam
paign 1t is stated that as the govern
ment Of the Sulu Islands Is not a sovereign
power, this Government cannot enter
into treaty with it and that the existing
understanding is only temporary and sub
ject to cessation at the instance Of the
United States.
1t is looked upon as a war measure made
for the purpose of preventing the Sulus
from taking an active stand with the Fill
pinos and will probably, after the subju-
cation Of the Philippines, be retracted.
1t is thought that it is the intention Of
the Administration to bring the Sulu ISL
anders under the control Of the United
States. The statement has been made by
a high Government official that it may be
decided to make a semi-oficial statement
explaining the conditions under which the
agreement was made and containing part

With no Unborn literary facility. with an

printer. Proofs were returned to him in
small sections pasted in the centre of huge
sheets; around whose wide borders soon
shot from the central text rockets and
sQuibs of the authors additions and correc-
tions, fired by his infuriated fist. The new
proofs came back on similar sheets, to be
returned to the printer. again like the web

repeated dozen or, it is said. score OF
times. always with ampliications. until

TRADING IN WALL STREET.
Securities Open Dull, With an Ir-
regular Tone.
Strength and Activity Develop After
the Publication of the Bank State
ment-American Steel and Wire
Weak Owing to Reports of Fric-
tiOn With Other Manufacturers.

NEW YORK, Oct 28.-This mornings
stock market was extremely dull. and its
tone was irregular. The railway list. while
inactive, was steady while a number Of
severe declines were shown in the indus
trial quarter at the opening Of the ex-
change. American Steel and Wire and 9TH
ers financially industrial broke with par
ticular rapidity. Tennessee Coal and Iron
reacted sharply. The particular weakness
of American Steel and Wire seemed to be
owing to the renewed reports Of friction
with other large steel manufacturers and
also to the reported intention OF the COM
pany to erect another very large mill near
Pittsburg.
The market grew gradually firmer with
the course Of the morning. and it devel-
oped pronounced strength and activity
after the publication of the bank state
ment which made a much more favorable
showing than has been expected. The
change In actual cash was very small,
to loss of only $SS.000. The
loan account on the other hand was re-
duced s4,766,000. and deposits fell away
Sc, 740, 900.
In consequence OF these changes, surplus
reserves increased s1,597, ,0O0 and the banks
now hold nearly 100000 in excess of the
lawful requirements. The shrinkage in
the loan account in view Of the course OF
the stock market this week was commonly
assumed to reflect the substantial charac-
ter of the buying of stocks. and had these
purchases been for the account OF the
houses the loan account would
have been apt to have shown an increase.
London again furnished a substantially
higher range of prices. and foreign houses
bought moderately in this market on bal
ance. There was little that was new over
night bearing upon the market or upon
any particular stock. The usual weekly
reports of the commercial agencies. pub
lished this morning, simply set forth in
detail the astounding activity existing in
all branches of the country's tIaie.

The Grcate.t Ocean Depths.
(From the London Chronicle.)


The president of the geography section
of the British Association for the Advance
ment of Science this year is Sir John Muir
ray, of the Challenger expedition fame,
whose opening address dealt with the floor
of the ocean and the result Of its investi-
CATION on various speculations. He said
it was the desire to establish telegraphic
communication between Europe and Amer
lea that gave the first direct impulse to the
scientific exploration OF the great ocean
basins. and at the present day the survey
of new cable routes still yielded each year
a large amount of accurate knowledge re-
garding the floor of the ocean. Since the
Challenger expedition there had been al
most a revolution in the methods employed
in deep sea observations. , The most pro-
found abysses of the ocean were now being
everywhere examined by sailors and scien-
tific men with increasing precision, rapid
ity, and success. The recognition OF ocean
ography as a distinct branch Of science
might be said to date from the commence
ment of the Challenger investigations.
Depths exceeding four geographical miles
had now been recorded at eight places.
Depths exceeding five thousand fathoms
had been hitherto recorded only In the
South Pacific. being about two thousand
feet more below the level Of the sea than

Sails ON the 4th of November.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-secretary Elihu
Root visited the various bureaus OF
the United States Commissary Department,
and with naval attaches from the embas-
sizes of France and Japan. inspected this
morning at Pier %, Brooklyn, the new
United States transport Thomas. The
Thomas, named after General Thomas,
was converted from the Atlantic transport
line steamship Minnawasha. and in COM
pleteness of fittings and in adaptation to
the conditions required for service in the
tropics she is unique.
The members of the visiting party ar
rived in Jersey City from Washington at
$40 o'clock this morning. After break
fasting at the station, the Quartermaster
boat, General Meigs, carried them to Pier
%, Brooklyn, where they arrived aboit
$50 O'Clock. In addition to Secretary Root
the party consisted Of the following OH
GERS:
Brigadier General Marshall Ludington,
Quartermaster General; Col. Charles Bird,
chief of transportation division, U. S. A;
Gen. !. T. Weston, acting Commissioner
General of Subsistence; Gen. George Nj.

bassy at Washington.
The Secretary and party were taken over
the entire vessel. Every detail of perfect
transport seems to have been thought OF
for the Thomas, and supplies. There is an
adequate refrigerating apparatus. an cleo
tric light plant throughout, and means OF
providing perfect ventilation. All air that
is breathed when her haIches are closed
can, if necessary, be forced through sprays
of water. thus cooling it a number of de-
grees below the temperature of average
tropic air.
The Thomas is at present being fitted for
a voyage 10 the Philippines. She mas to
sail at noon of Saturday, November 4, and
at noon on the day before the Forty-sev-
