MADE READY WHILE YOU WAIT
Battleships Pat in War Trim in q
short Forty Hours

Washington. June THE experiment
with the battleshios Indiana and Massa
chusetts has been a marked success. a
telegram received at the navy department
today from Admiral Silas Casey, COM
mandant of the League Island navy yard,
announced that the two big ships were
completely equipped and ready for sea-
He sad the indiana would pull out at noon
and the Massachusetts about two hours
later for Newport, via Hampton Roads.
The delay in the case of the latter ship
was not because of any lack of prepared
ness on her part, but simply because the
tide would not serve until afternoon.
Thus it appears that these two formidable
vessels have been made ready for any re-
quired service in the short space of about
forty hours, without the slightest warn
ing notice TO the commandant of the
League Island navy yard or the COM
manders of the two battleshiDs. The re-
suit is regarded as a satisfactory vindica-
ton of the policy of keeping ships in
ordinary recently adopted by the navy
department. The record made at League
Island is about as good as any made
abroad, with superior facilities in the lat
ter case. This little experiment will lie
noted with interest by other naval powers
A later telegram from Rear Admiral
Casey at League Island announced that
both battleships. the Indiana and the
Massachusetts, were lying in the stream
with steam up and would start down the
Delaware river at O'Clock. Everything
was ready and everybody aboard except
three marine officers, who will join the
ships at Hampton Roads. Upon receipt

REPORT OF FAILURES FOR MAY

BAH ming. Nei her " ere there any ell
i. or nest Of 'a1dres calculated II ere
ate alarm by any particular branch of
business. The large brokerage failure for
about s13,01O,o00 exceeded in amount all
failures in any other month except one
since 1893, and with 1t came another for
$735, 900. Nearly go per cent of the total
.defaulted liabilities were due to five
'other commercial failures, while the
ten large failures in manufac curing and
trading covered less than 100000 liabn-
tiles in all. The number and amount OF
liabilities of all commercial failures in
May compared with last year are given
below: May 1900, 947; 1899 5S1. Liabili-
ties May, 1900 $23, III, 151; 1899, S3,S20.sS6.
The returns to Dun's review for May
show an unusually large number Of small
failures. They exceed those Of any other
year but one, and this is considered sug-
gestive, also the increase of over an
eighth in average liabilities. This, the
review says, is readily traceable to the
manufactures, for with the surprising in
crease in number the smaller failures in
trading show lower liabilities than in any
other year except two Manufacturing
liabilities have much increased, however,
the average for those small firms run
ming close to $4,000. 1t might be in
ferred that there had been a really note
worthy expansion of manufacturing in
debtedness for the season, and in Janu-
airy a similar increase appeared, though
very little in February or March. In
April the increase was about $500 per
smtll failure and in May s9400 1t is not
difficult to surmise that this has connec-
ton with the general slackening of or
ders for manufactured products, which
has now begun to produce a readjust-
ment of price.

Thinks There are Enough
Like Him to Upset Both.

New Haven, Conn, June 7.-E. C. Bene-
dict, the New York banker. who recently
returned from a trip with Ex-President
Cleveland. has written a letter in which
he says:
THE gross outrages perpetrated on the
good name OF the Democratic party by
the present managers of party by that
name, with scarcely a vestige of the old
Democratic gospel left in it, makes me at
tically disfranchised by thir action. while
their inhdelity to Democratic principles
has provoked infidehty to the name to
such an extent that greatly fear we can
never again succeed under it.
81 am not alone in this orphanage. On
the contrary, I have not single acquain-
lance among my Democratic friends with
whom I have conferred who does not
share this feeling with me. 1t is also very
apparent that this political orphanage is
not confined to those of our faith. Nc
Kinleyism is becoming as repugnant TO
the rank and file of Republicans as Bry-
anism is to u.s. AS a temporary choice
of evils, the latter may survive the form
er, but only for a little while.
These vast and increasing rebellious
elements from the ranks Of both parties,
having common dangers, are fast becom-
ing common friends and are anxious to
become enrolled under one banner.
But before an organization of these
elements can be effected 1t is the plain
duty of outraged Democrats to use their
best individual efforts, in the absence of
organization, to clean house by the COM
plete destruction Of Organism. From
present appearances, it is the only func-
ton We can perform in the coming cam
paign. Soon thereafter AIcKinleyism
must surely perish as punishment for
its infidelity TO all sound principles of
government. Then will come the oppor-
tunity for the formation of a great party,
based on a platform similar to that Of
the National Democratic party of 1896

otto ever placed before the people, And

a recess until $50 p. m During the re-
cess the members congregated on the
floor and sang patriotic songs. AT 49,
when the speaker attempted to call the
house to order the members were still
singing. With one accord they turned
upon him and drowned the crash of his
gavel in the strains of For He's Jolly
Good Fellow" With this tribute TO the
speakers popularity the group broke up.
AS they made their way to their seats,
the speaker observed good-naturedly:
1.-THE chair will come TO order"
Mr.. Payne then announced that the
president had nothing further to COM
municate. The clerk then read long list
of bills and resolutions signed by the
president. The house listened impatient-
ly to the droning voice of the clerk as he
read the list. The title of the last bill,
"A bill for the relief Of Andrew Jackson"
aroused roar of aughter.
AS the hands of the clock approached
the hour of O'Clock Speaker Henderson
arose and amid profound silence deliver
ed his valedictory, in these words:
Gentlemen of the house Of representa-
tives, we will in a few moments have
completed our sessions work. 1t has been
a session of earnest. patriotic effort, of
unremitting toll. This house has demon
strated that men may meet on great
fields of contest and part as friends. This
body had considered many great. novel
national questions. That fervor which en-
ters into debate on the eve Of a great
national conflict has been present, but
guided by intelligence and manly cour-
age.
cat the opening ftlis session 7 took
the chair with that fear and apprehension
whic hevery conscientious man should
feel. 1 appealed to you for support and
kindly aid. Not for one moment have
you forgotten that appeal. but your sus-
tanning influence has made it possible to
consider these mighty problems of the
hour and never allow the legislator and
the gentlemen to sink below the high
level of manhood.
I'm parting, wish you, from my heart,
a pleasant vacation. and that you may
all return to the duties of the next ses-
sion refreshed in body and in mind
and now, in pursuance of the concur
rent resolution adopted by the two houses
of congress, 1 declare this session adj
journed without day"
As the gavel fell which ended the first
session of the Fifty-sixth congress, the
members cheered again and again. AS the
spectators turned for the doors, the news
paper correspondents in the press gal
leries arrested their progress with the
doxology. They waited until it had been
sung and then de9arted
