Percentage of Americans Larger
Than Generally Supposed.
Washington, April 16.-Secretary Long
has had compiled a table showing the
proportion of native born and foreign born
sailors in the United States navy. This
shows that during the Spanish-American
War out of a total force of 22,s2S, the
total of native born sailors was 1906 and
of foreign born 1922 The percentage of
native born sailors was Go, and including
foreigners who had become Americans by

st. Paul, Mimi, April 16.-It was re-
ported in what are usually well informed
railroad circles to-day that James j. Hill
of the Great Northern has disposed of
his Baltimore and Ohio and Erie stocks
and that the operation has netted him
100000 The fact that Mr.. Hill had pur-
chased stocks of these roads had the eff
feet of greatly enhancing the value of the
shares. Wall street at once jumped to the
conclusion that gigantic combinations
were being formed, in which one or the
other of these roads are to be compo :
nent part. The investment now having
shown what he considers a sufficient
margin of profit, he has disposed of his
entire holdings.

Diseases are like weeds. All they ask

ish. Neglect the first symptoms of dis
ease of the stomach and It will not be
long before other organs are involved,
because every organ of the body is de-
pendent on the stomach and its allied
organs for nutrition. When the stomach
and other organs of digestion and nutri-
ton are diseased the food eaten is
not perfectly digested and assimilated.
Hence there is loss of nutrition by the
body; loss which shows itself in loss of
flesh, and reduced weight, and that loss
of nutrition is shared by every organ of
the body, heart lungs, liver, kidneys
etc. As consequence when the stom-
ach is diseased, the heart is liable to be
involved, or the lungs, kidneys or liver.
These facts emphasize the danger of
neglect of what is popularity termed

ing the net gain on the day points
Ports receipts so far for the week are
lo,cO0 larger than last week, exceed last
year by $4,000 and are "a, 900 in excess of
year before last. The semi-weekIy inte-
rior receipts are estimated at $1,000
against 5000 last year, or an increase of
800 per cent, while the loss in stocks
points to only 10000, against 1900 last
year. The action of the New York mar
ket would indicate that the rumors cir
culated relative to manipulation were
well founded These spurts on fictitious
futures as rule are ultimately instru-
mental in causing prices to seek a lower
level than they would under normal cir
cumstances. All the legitimate factors in
the situation are against a decided adj
vance. The movement is on large scale
and trade conditions show no signs of
betterment. With these lights before us
we think it will be a hard matter to sus-
tain present prices unless something now
unforeseen transpires in the way of trade
improvement or a set back for the next
crop.
