The Bank Of England rate OF interest
has been advanced to 6 per cent which
very nearly agrees with the rate being
paid in Wall street, showing that the
fellows who run the gold standard on
both sides OF the water know what they
are about. The tendency in this coun.
try is to a little sitter figure than the
above but the advance is held in check
by Secretary Gage catering to the de-

stock gamblers with the government

millions Of government bonds at a good
liberal premium out OF the public treas.

Under section 4 Of the Primary Election

enth Tuesday before the day OF general

on enrolment on one OF the four days

Before the important and impressive cleo

years tax levy amounting to $19s, 900, less

have taken the trouble to enroll or to be-

The fact is. though the statement OF it
may DO extremely distasteful to some
political theorists, that the great majority
of the voters Of New York. az Of other
places. are utterly Indifferent to primary
elections and to control OF election ma
chnery. They have no time to spare from
business and social matters in order
ito take hand in politics" They are
satisfied to vote when the election comes
and care little about having direct share
in the machinery OF nominations or the
government OF party organizations.
The Legislature has complied with every
request submitted to its members for ex-
tending. improving and safeguarding the
primary election system in New York, in
compliance with the sentimental notion
that the primary is the nursery OF cleo
tons" But the voters OF New York have
shown no unusual alacrity in complying
with tho simple requirements Of the pri-
mary law; and the same report comes from
other places.

affairs Of Brazil made the latter station
highly important, and We still have large
commercial and other relations with that
republic and with Argentina, not to lay any
stress on Paraguay and Uruguay. But on
the other coast Of South America we havc
had In recent years even moro important
dealings with Chill, while Peru, Bolivia,
Ecuador and Colombia stll from tlmC TO
time engage our naval attention.
Indeed, with the Asiatic squadron fully
occupied In It's own waters, and with tho
present Pacific station, including every
thing as far north as Alaska and as far
west as Hawaii and Samoa, it Is clear that
a division IN naval jurisdiction will be of
advantage Tho division line would not,
however, be put at the equator, but ut the
1sthinus, since South America would
naturally fall into one naval province and
North and Central America into the other.
Again, Just as tho South Atlantic station
oxtenda It's jurisdiction from its headquar-
tors at Montevideo across the ocean to the
west coast of Africa, from tho Cape Of Good
Hope up to the Congo region, and, in fact.
Admiral How1soN's flagship, the Chicago,
is now acknowledging Africa, so in like
fashion tho South Pacific jurisdiction
would extend westward 1t would doubt
less take in tho South Seas oven
though Samoa is reached easily from
Hawaii, which is in the North Pacific; and
II Ia now said that Australia would come
within it's scope, although 40 much nearer
the Asiatic squadron. However, ii will be
easy to make transfers of limits for special
emergencies.
The main point to note is the growing
naval Importance of the Pacific. Valparaiso
might at first seem the more natural heal
quarters for the proposed new station, but
there Is little OF consequence south of It,
whereas Callao, besides being good coal
ing and rehtting station, Is more central
and is nearer the lsthmus.

has helped to trample HoposoN's reputa-

az we'll as to the public, to demand q Courtof
Inquiry to pass upon the claim to honors
put forth in his behalf and upon the excuses
he has offered for the censure OF his supe-
rior officers. From this simple but impera-
tive obligation to considerable portion OF
the naval service Admiral SCHLEY has studt-
ously turned away. Tho case Of H0Dasoy
is different, but not lcss pressing in its
nature.

1t Is three years since the Turbnin, tho
1oo-footer driven by steam turbine, star
tied the world with speed OF 34I knots
Since then there have been reports that
other and faster Turbinias were coming
but no boat. 1t Is scarcely loss interesting
on that account to learn through Tdssicr's =
Magazine that the Parsons Marine Steam
Turbine Company now have shops ready to
make $50. 900 horse power OF turbine en-
gines annually; that destroyer, the Viper.
Is being built there with engines of 1000
horse power, and that another SGT OF en-
gines equally strong is being made for n
destroyer building by tho ARMSTRONG;.
Better than SO knots is expected from hoth
boats.
For every ton OF weight OF machinery,
including boilers, The turbine will give
seventy-five horse power to the forty--ight
obtainable from ordinary engines and simi-
lar boilers. In the Turbinia the consump-
ton OF steam at speeds of 81 knots was
found to be less than it ia in dcstroycrs with
the ordinary engines. The greater economy
in steam permltsa larger horse power from
the same boilers, and tho lighter engines
allow larger boilers; consequently each ton
OF displacement in a Turhinia can carry
greater power. The larger the scale, also,
on which turbine engines are constructed,
we are told, the more marked are their
advantages.
Cassier's Magazine publishes A drawing
for boat to cross the British Channel at
the rate OF As land miles an hour. But the
most remarkable craft proposed is All un-
armored cruiser. vessel of 5000 tons,
45O feet long, AZ feet beam and IA feet
draught, with 100000 horse power will
reach a speed OF 4s knots. This sho will
hold for three hours She could go -
knots for eight hours.

to the Navy Department OF the United
States. And what wealthy. luxurious and
philosophical citizen will be first to dazzle
