AMERICAN TRANSPORTS

Useless Between American ports and
Must be Sold cheap-Good Chance
Fer Local People to Buy Fine
Vessels on Speculation.

Recently the Secretary OF the Treas
ury rendered a decision that, in
event of the sale of the United States
transports the vessels would not be
given an American register. They
now fly the American flag as they
are the property of the government.
Most of them were Of foreign register
at the time of their purchase and
when they pass out of the hands OF
the government. their present Ameri-
can registry lapses with them and the
vessels resume their foreign register.
As these steamers are useless for
service between American ports. be
ing of foreign register the government
cannot hope TO receive suitable COM
pensation for them, so it is fore
gone conclusion that when the vessels
are sold, they will net figures which
will be a great deal less than the
original as well as the subsequent
cost of the vessels.
Some of the transports cost as high
as 100000 and repairs and improve
ments have been made TO many of
them at cost of several hundred
thousand dollars more. so that some
OF the vessels stand the government
close on to million dollars each.
Without an American registry the
value of these vessels becomes much
less.

ports may be bought here al low cost.

DISAPPOINTED DOLLAR-CHAsERS

The big show in London will be a
 spectacular success if it doesn't rain too hard and too long, and if some &C., | cident doesn't happen, but it will not be the money-maker for some that it was expected to be, It appears that people are staying away from 1t because of the fear that there will be too many there. Steamship passenger traffic from the United States is much smaller than had
 been expected, and much of it is select ing vessels that will land the traveller
 on the continent whence he may go to
 London, but not until after the corona
 tion. The English railroads are said to
 be making no preparations to handle
 crush, for they do not expect crush.
 Their officials say they learned lesson
 from the diamond jubilee celebration,
 when the mere expectation of a crush
 served to prevent one. One of them is quoted as saying: People expect the crush will be terrific. The prices of seats are high, and comfort is impossi- ble. Therefore many of them will stay at home. We have had very few in- quiries for rates.''
 It is further reported that the buld- CTS of the seats along the route of the Coronation procession are vastly dis appointed at the slow sale of advanta- geous places for viewing the pageant. Very extravagant ideas appear to have been held as to the amounts people would be willing to pay for seats. A few days ago such rates as $26 for single seats were demanded in vain, and, now that the price has fallen to about $10, there has not been an active demand The people have shown rather a dispO- sition to keep their money in their pock- cts, thinking, perhaps, they can find an opportunity to see all there is to see with little or no cost to themselves, and they probably can.
 Of course the chief value of the show isn't it's value as a money-maker, but there are many who have been looking at it in that light and they will be sad if it turns out to be a cheap" affair.

ogE Fsp4rx,s TROUBLES.

Spain is going to have trouble of sev-
 eral kinds before she gets fully rghted
 up,. One kind will be over the question of fhe religious associations. The Cab- inet, with the exception of senor Cana lejas, who resigned recently, adopted
 four principles upon which future leg islation is to be founded. These are: l C) No religious order can establish it. self in Spain without previous author ization; (2) religious orders which do establish themselves will submit in the matter of instruction to the general | laws of the State and to the inspection of the government; (S) religious orders cannot acquire or keep any landed property but that which represents their place of residence; (4) religious orders can be dissolved by the unani- nous vote of the council of ministers. Unfortunately, these regulations are so anything. Already critics of the gov ernment are asking whether the future law is to apply to the orders included in the Concordat, whether it is only ap- plicable to those outside the Concordat, whether it's action is retrospective, or whether those orders which have al- ready received authorization from for
 mer governments will be exempt The government maintains that it is not de- tered from bringing in an immediate bill by any fear of a rupture with the Vatican; but it is known that the Vat ican contends that the associations of the Concordat and those subsequently, authorized are upon an equal footing, and that this point is still under nego- tiation. The general opinion seems to be that the government has no expect ation of enforcing its four principles, which have been published for public effect but will, as heretofore, exhibit most conciliatory spirit in the actual negotiations with the Vatican.

AHo7HER CRISIS.

We'll the holy cause of Constitutional Reform has reached another "crsis, " and a curious one too. Last October, when the State voted on the question of calling a Constitutional Convention, there was interest enough in the mat ter to bring out about 74,0O0 votes, or a little more than third of the total vote. Yesterday, when the work of the Convention was up for adoption or re- jection, there was interest enough to bring out only about 310OO votes, about 15 per cent. of the total vote. And this after many months of talk and what was supposed to be agitation, though 1t can now be seen that there wasn't much that was agitating in it.
 It is difficult to tell what the perform ance means, if it means anything, but 1t doesn't seem to mean that there is any very widespread or strenuous demand in Connecticut for Constitutional Re- form. We have gone through futile and costly rigmarole. It has cost the State, we suppose, at least $2OO, 900 to reach the lame and impotent conclusion that was reached yesterday. Does the State want any more of such work, and will it suffer the irreconcilabes to call another Constitutional Convention as soon as they can get a chance? Before the clamor for a Convention came to a climax the Constitution was being amended, and it can doubtless be still more amended, if there is any need of it. There is no need of another Consti- tutional Convention and there shouldn't be another as long as the memory of the costly and futile one whose work was rejected yesterday can be kept fresh and green.
 One good thing can be said of yester- days vote, and that is that it was as pure as the baking powder. Nobody seemed to have interest enough to seek to influence any voter.

l equal terms,--a competition in which he
 has constantly proved himself to be the
 better man,-until, as an American | publisher recently said, there are not more than four or five English novel, ists who remain vital factors in the 1 American market to-day,
 Another cause operating with the foregoing has been the enormous in- l crease in the size of the reading public.
 Twenty years ago a book that sold
 to the extent of thirty thousand copies
 was something of a phenomenon Nowadays a single year has chronicled half dozen that rose to sales of more than a hundred thousand copies. It is the increase in higher education Which, in the first instance, has raised up this new army of readers. Cheaper and larger newspapers including the for midable Sunday issues, have supple mented the work begun by the schools;
 they have held people fast to the read ing habit Along with them, or follow ing them, have come the monthly mag azines, multiplied in their numbers, vastly extended in their range of topics, and possessed In many cases of circula- tions that rival or surpass those Of the most successful metropolitan neWspa- pers.
 A third cause that must be named is the awakening of new interest in life out of doors. Coincident with the spread of education has been drift of population toward cities and large towns, of which the statistics, needless to be named here, are formidable. Young men seeking success in life mi grate to places where their trained tal- ents can best find employment, sue cess has attended the most of them, with growing incomes, wider horlZons, experience in travel, finer social con- nections, and the attendant obligations, above all, a need for change from the expressing activities of the working part of the year. Hence has come the familiar reaction against town life that every year drives thousands more ana more to the country; it may be to reside in homes of their own; 1t may be to live in hotels to propel the bicycle or play golf. Out of this has come leisure for reading and desire for it. an inter- est in nature in American history, III the world beyond our own immediate borders, and in the books that relate to those topics, whether nature books his tories or books of travel, Mans social nature has, at the same time, been de- veloped and inspired on new ana proad- CT lines, while interest in society as novelists present it, has been deepened, widened and refreshed. d.--Francis w. Halsey in the Review of Reviews

 The books which the regular houses now offer in summer are among the best published through the whole year, both as to contents and as to manu- fracture. Indeed, the summer reading public has it's needs looked after with something of the same care and intelli- gence that are bestowed upon books for the holidays and this attention has been bestowed with a devotion that has increased year by year.
 Were causes to be sought for the change we might find many. A prima- " one has been international copy right, which has effected something like a revolution in the book trade of this country.
