UNLESS England gets a lively

vessels she has, she may soon find
herself without a merchant navy.

The Atlas ships are to go under
the German flag. These two fleets

Mr.. HAYES, of the United States
geological survey, has been making
some investigations into the min
eral wealth of Cuba. He says the
possibilities of the island are great
er than anybody in this country
has heretofore expected. He found
in several of the provinces rich de-
posits of iron, copper and asphal-
tum, and in the Isle of Pines a large
deposit of remarkably fine marble.
The iron ore deposits, he says, are
even larger than those of Pennsyl-
vania, and they are situated in
places accessible to transportation.
Copper was found in quantities in
Santiago province, and a high grade
of asphaltum in Cardenas. There
are large quantities of manganese
ores in Santiago, such as are used
in making steel by the Bessemer
process. The mineral wealth of
the island, on the whole, is said to
be very great.

To Eject a Saving to Counties.

A bill was introduced in the leg
islature this week TO authorize coun-
ty commissioners to use certain
funds of their county.
Some counties have a surplus in
certain funds, which surplus has to
be deposited, often without, draw
ing interest, and cannot be used to
pay debts due from other funds.
Certain other funds are frequently
insufficient to meet demands on
them, and money has to be bor-
rowed from outsiders and interest
paid thereon. The new bill pro-
poses to authorize county commits
sioners to borrow from funds haV-
ing a surplus 20 meet needs of the
funds showing a deficit, the bor-
rowed sum to be repaid when the
fund that is short has been replen-
ished.
This law if passed should operate
to the advantage of counties where
the county boards are particular
about these transfers and do not
become careless. 1t was the wrong
placing offunds and jumbling them
together that caused the passage of
the present strict law that county
moneys cannot be transferred from
one fund to another.
AS the law now stands some of
the counties in this state are pay
ing interest for carrying funds that
are short, or have a deficit, while
in other funds there are quite large
surpluses which are not bringing
those counties a cent of interest.
The intention of the proposed
bill is to allow such surplus funds
to be transferred temporarily to the
deficit funds and thus save paying
interest.

THE figures of the stock and bond
transactions on Wall street since
the first of January are so large as
to be difficult of comprehension.
In four months and ten days the
transactions in stocks and bonds,
according to the New York cores
pondent of the Philadelphia Led
ger, have aggregated par value OF
S14, ,69S, ,950,770 or more than the
combined public debts of France,
Great Britain, Germany and the
United States. The total transac-
tions amount also to more than the
aggregate capital stock and bonded
debt of all the railroads in the Uni
ted States, amounting to S1l, l,3,7,-
O39,20S. Thus in about twenty
weeks there has been sold on the
stock exchange s3,3lI, ,91l, ,562 more
than all the stocks and bonds of all
the railroads. The transactions in
this period are two anda half times
greater than in the corresponding
time last year. AS matter Of fact
the dealings during four months
and ten days have exceeded the
record of any whole year heretofore
with one single exception.

THE board of public instruction
having made the call for a special
election in the newly-constituted
tax school districts of this county
for the purpose of deciding wheth-
er such specially constituted dis
tricts shall be empowered to levy a
special school tax, and to decide
upon the millage to be levied and
as we have and will continue to
favor this measure in view of the
benefit it will be To our public
school system, we deem it proper
to cite the recent action of Seville,
a sub-district in VOlusia county,
on this very question. Two years
ago, when a similar election was
called in that sub-district, the vote
polled was almost unanimously
against the levy of a special tax in
that sub-district, when the question
was brought up this year not ii
vote was cast against it. and it was
also decided to levy three mills, the
limit of the law. We hope to be
able to announce the same result
in this county on the 18th of June.

THE SPECTACULAR CANTATA.

For St Johns R. C. Church Successful
 ly Presented Yesterday.
 The spectacular fairy cantata in the Hyperion yesterday for the benefit of the St. Johns R. c. church was very largely attended at both matinee and evening performances. It was most creditable production deliberately set with gorgeous scenery and costumes, making an enchanting and impressive spectacle Crowds of fairies and elves, good and bad, thronged the courts Of the Prince of Midgets, and the fairy queen, mingled with characteristic Lil- liputian representatives of the nations The march and grand entree song 'The Carnival of Nations" was an especially the play in all it's parts showed the careful training of the little tots that reflects great credit to those who so successfully managed the affair.
 St. Johns R. c. church, since the re- cent splendid alterations and improve ments in the interior of it's edifice, has been making special efforts to raise the amount to meet the expenses so neces- sarily incurred. The success of this night was therefore richly deserved, and the generous sympathy and appre- citation of the New Haven public is with those upon whom the responsibility of the added expense devolves.
