NEW YORK, August Z. $3.50 p. NJ
While to-day's market was dull and at
tines bordering on stagnation, a deeid-
eddy stronger tone to the transactions
made itself felt.
In spite OF the announcement that the
steel strike has been officially declared
to go in force text Saturday and the
advance in corn and wheat, higher ex-
change rates which have o reached
almost the gold exporting point. the
uncertainty about the Union Pacific
dividends to be declared tomorrow and
the government crop report to be issued
next Saturday-in spite of all these
comparatively unfa vorable items. there
was a total absence of stocks pressing
for sale. In fact, IL anything, a no
ticeable demand took the pace of Ii
quidating sales.
Ii seems as If with the decline which
has taken place the worst has been dis
counted for the time being, and with
the evident support given to the Steel
stocks it is likely that a decided recoy-
cry in prices will take place and espe-
cially If the steel strike should not as
sumo formidable proportions, nor the
government crop report show greater
damage than has been generally assum-
ed. BACHE q co.

Mighty Naval Weapon.

Washington (SpeciaD.-The penc-
trating power of a new naval gun has
proved satisfactory at tests held at the
proving station down the Potomac
river, and naval men say it has no
equal in the navies OF the world.
Of 4o-caliber in length, it is longer
and regarded as infinitely superior to
the I3-inch guns which were used IN
the Santiago fight. With a charge OF
900 pounds of smokeless powder and
projectile weighing $50 pounds, muz-
zle velocity OF 1854 feet per second has
been obtained, with a corresponding
muzzle energy OF 1904 foot tons, the
chamber pressure being I61A tons per
square inch, or half ton less than the
designed working pressure. Compare
son OF this new weapon with the r.
inch 35-caliber guns now mounted on
the Iowa class OF vessels show that the
new piece weighs 53.7 tons and has
muzzie energy OF 1893 foot tons per ton
of gun. The present 12-inch gun,
which weighs As tons, has a muzzle
velocity with smc..,iens powder oil only
1900 foot secon,s, and the correspond
ing muzzle enc. ry of 3I,I7o foot tons
amounts to only go foot tons per
weight of the gun The muzzle energy
of the new piece, therefore, exceeds thai!
of the old by "a per cent.

crease in Number Of Inmates Of Asyiums

Argument Ia Its Favor.

St. Paul, MINI. Especially The Chi
ton bill, which passed the Senate oatul.
day, is proposed as a measure to restii g.
the marriage of persons afflicted WIN
physical or mental disorders, and has the
support of the physicians of the State:
While the bill, which is reasonably
certain to become law, is aimed at the
class above named, it will affect all per
sons seeking marriage, as physical eX-
animation of the candidates for matri-
mony is imperative Some OF the proVl-
sions of the bill follow: :.
mo man or woman who IS eplieptic;'
imbecile. feeble minded, or afflicted with
chronic insanity, shall hereafter inter
marry within this State when the wo-
man is under the age of Is years.
ANY person who, not being an ePI-
leptic marries an imbecile or teeDie
minded person or one afflicted with
chronic insanity or who knowingly vi0-
lates the provision OF this section, snail
upon conviction, be punished by a flne
Of not more than $1,000 or by imprison-
ment in the State prison Tor not more
than five years, or by both such i1ne ana
mo officer shall hereafter issue,
marriage license to any person Apply
ing therefor until, in addition to the i;
condition now required by law, ne snail
be furnished with a certificate from q
reputable physician or physicians OIL
the county in which the parties reside
mo clergyman or any official author,
lied by law to solemnize marriage shall
hereafter perform marriage ceremony
within this State when either OF the
parties to such marriage is prohibited
by this act from marrying. Any VIC,
lation shall be punishable by a hne Of
not more than $1,000 or Imprisonment
in the penitentiary for not more than
three years"
While this bill has general approval
in this State, it will undoubtedly result
in a number of the marriages OF parties
in this State being made in adjoining
States. This has been one OF the prln-
cipal arguments advanced against it:
passage.
On the other hand the increase in the
number OF inmates of the asylums tor
feeble-minded and insane in the State
is strong argument in favor OF its pass
| age.
