The change in beats of the police
men, ordered by Council at its last
meeting, gives the city but three po-
licemen at night, and they report at
the building at the following hours:
Ten, twelve, three and four o'clock.
One can readily see the necessity of
having extra policemen, and many of
the citizens think Council should make
provision for more, and at least have
a night Waterman at the police sta
ton, as many citizens think the city
has not enough protection at night, as
the town covers so much territory and
has five wards, with only three officers
to look after all this territory, which
is more than three men can do JUS
tice, 1t is thought Council will look
after this and make the necessary
provision for the full protection of the

American steel & Wire.

American Steel d Wire.
An authority on steel says: IF you
will compare the new prices of the
American Steel & Wire Company with
those obtained by other manufacture
ers for their products and with the
price of their raw material, you will
see that they are still making a very
fair profit. The new price of nails,
for instance, is 1920 per cwt. The
company buys its steel in long tons
Of 2,240 pounds, while it sells its prod
ucC in short tons of 1000 pounds.
Wire rods cost the American Steel C
Wire Company $3S per ton. A long
ton OF nails at 1920 per hundred
would bring $49.28. Thus the profit on
a ton of nails would be SLIPS, or 501a
cents per cwt. A year ago a profit of
SO cents a key on nails would have
been considered extraordinary."-New

THE SHIP SUBSIDY BILL.
Senator Frye Determined to Insist
Upon Its Consideration.

Senator Frye, Chairman of the Commit &c
on Commerce expresses a determination
to insist upon the consideration OF the
Hanna Payne Ship Subsidy bill at this ses-
sion. Notwithstanding the decision OF the
steering committee to bring about adjourn
ment as soon as possible after the Philip
pine resolution, the appropriation bills, and
other necessary matters of legislation are
disposed of. In this determination Mr.
Hanna concurs. He says IL would be cow
ardice for the Republican party to abandon
the measure now after having declared for
1t in party platforms.
The advocates of the measure will there
fore, endeavor TO have IL made the special
order after the Quay case is disposed of
on the cath instant, by which time they
hope the Philippines resolution will have
been passed The Democrats will oppose
this plan. however, and will probably delay
vote upon the Philippine resolution il
they find that there is- chance for the
shipping bill TO get the right of way.
The Republican Senators generally are
strongly opposed TO the attempt 10 get a
vote upon the Ship Subsidy bill, the Mic
aragua Canal bill, or any subject of i'm
portant legislation not already provided for
and are working to bring about adjourn
ment as near June ! as possible. The Sen
ators who take this view of what ought }
be done include the most influential parry
managers in the Senate. and they will
probably succeed in keeping the Senate up
to the programme OF early adjournment
and a do-nothing policy in the mean time.
As a means to this end they will allow the
canal and subsidy bills TO be taken up, but
with the knowledge that they must give
way to appropriation bills and conference
reports. Then. when these are all disposed
OF, a day will be fixed for adjournment.
leaving everything else TO go over to next
session. Senator Morgan is as determined
to get consideration for the Nicaragua
Canal bill as Senators Hanna and Frye are
that the shipping bill shall not be put over
until next session.
