from true that the movement for
the Mckinley memorial can be said to
have failed.
The American public is the most lib
eral-handed in the world. Nowhere but
here would it be possible in genera
ton to raise an amount equal to that
secured in year or two through even
the least extensive of scores of such
movements which are in progress often
simultaneously among us.
There is such thing as overworking
willing horse If this memorial is to
represent the small offerings Of the mass
OF the people, it will necessarily require
prolonged and tedious effort to secure
it. If wealthy men are to 1e asked to
take it in hand the movement must nee
essarily change its character as a result.
The managers of the Mckinley memo
rial have little cause for dishearenment,
They have been at work but short time
Let them continue There is ample time
The men who have undertaken the 1ove-
ment should, of course, be sustained, and
it would be gratifying if the responses
were more generous and prompt. The
mass Of the people, revere the memory
of the last Of our martyred presidents,
and they are sure to meet all the finan-
cial demands made on them looking to
the proper honoring of his memory
With careful and continued effort the
movement will before long realize amply
the expectations of its founders.

in repairing ships at Hongkong. In jan
l;ary, 1902, he was examined by a retiring
board, which decided that his incapacity
was not such as to justify retirement.
The presidents message concludes as
follows:
without suggesting that any injustice
has been done by this finding. and while
IN erect pronouncing it correct, Mr.. Hob
son states, in letter addressed to the
secretary of the navy, that the duty re-
quired in the construction corps in con-
nection with plans and blue prints, and
in connection with inspection and super
vision in the glare at ship yards and
navy yards, requires just the kind OF use
of the eyes that is painful and injurious
and would tend to thWart their recovery.
'"That the condition Of his eyes has i'm
proved since his return to the United
States. while on special duty not in the
usual line Of work of the construction
corps; but that under these favorable
conditions the irritation and sensitivenes5
continue and show that he should not
undertake work that taxes the eyes in
the future He accordingly asks such
legislation authorizing his retirement for
disabilities incurred in the line of duty.
This request is approved by the chief OF
construction and by the secretary Of the
navy.
In consideration of the foregoing. but
especially of the gallant service rendered
by Mr.. Hobson in the sinking of the Mer-
rimac in the haTbOr of Santiago during
the recent war with Spain, I recommend
the enactment of favorable measure
for his relief.
The bill introduced by Senator GalIinger
authorized the president Ito transfer to
the retired list of the navy, as for disa-
biIitieS incurred in the lire of duty. Naval

THERE rs AMPLE TIME.

There is good deal of disappointment
and dissatisfaction over the result Of the
efforts on behalf of the Mckinley memo
orial which thus far represents the sum
Of 100000. That amount is evidently
looked upon as quite insignificant by
those in control of the movement.
The, projectors of the Mckinley mem
orial would not suffer by decided quick
ening Of their patience, as well as OF
their understanding of the value of
money. Two hundred thousand dollars
is large sum of money. Carefully ap-
piled it can be made to produce a very
creditabie memorial. Properly invested
it would represent the basis of a fund
which would in time be adequate to all
possible demands
There is no urgent immediate need Of
the memorial. Ten years hence it viii
be as fitting as today. If it is no. pos
sible, through reasonable effort, to n
crease this sum materially, it is far

Paper and Pulp Men Dine

Paper and Pulp Men Dine
NEW YORK, Feb. 17-1he twen-
ty-f1fth annual banquet of the Amer
can Paper and Pulp Association,
held last week at the Waldorf-Astoria,
was attended by nearly $50 representa-
tives of the paper manufacturing indus
try of the country.
Ex-Gov Powers spoke of the spruce
forests of Maine and declared that the
supply was practically inexhaustible. He
said the spruce will never be cut off
Nothing but fire will destroy it. 1t is too
thick in places and cutting helps it. With
Judicious cutting the forests will supply
more pulp than is now being used, indef-
initely.
BOOth-TucI1er NaturaIized-
Commander Booth-Tucker of the Saliva
ton Army, has received his final natur-
alization papers and was sworn in before
Judge Beach, of the supreme court as a
citizen Of the United States. He had
taken out his first papers more than two
years ago and intended to have been nat
uralized last April, but the illness of his
wife interfered with his plans.
Electric Currents Worry Them
Officers attached to the Brooklyn navy
yard are worrying once more over the
dangers of electro1ysis, and it is feared
that it will be necessary to ask that the
cruiser Columbia, now being used as a
receiving ship, be taken elsewhere in or
der to save her steel hull. AS yet no
formal request has been MADE to the
authorities at Washington to .emove the
ship from her present berth.
Tax Rouses stock Brokers'
Stock brokers in Wall street are non
plused by the announcement Of the de-
cision of Internal Revenue Commissioner
Yerkes that tax of cents per $1OO of
par value would have to be made on all
shares of stock deposited with bankers
and others as security for loans.
This law has been eyaded heretofore,
and it was not anticipated that an at
tempt would De made to collect the tax,
it being understood that the tax would
be collected only on actual transfers of
stock, Additional CONSERVATION, there
fore, reSr4Led from the report which went
abroad that not only would the tax be
collected in the future, but that it must
be paid on past loans where it has not
been so paid.
AS the banks would have a great deal
to do with the levy Of such tax, the
matter was presented to the officials of
the clearing house, but they decided that
it was matter in which the brokers Of
the stock exchange, who made the loans,
were principally the parties in interest,
and that it was not a matter for the in
tervention Of the clearing house.
Still Sell Standing Room
Theatrical managers quietly express the
belief that the storm which Fire Commits
s1oner Sturgis raised some weeks ago
over the selling of standing room privi-
leges has blown over. With very few
exceptions all just as quietly sell the
standing room in their theaters. No
steps are apparently to be taken by Com
missioner Sturgis to enforce the regula-
tions which he has proclaimed, they say,
and until he proceeds against Manager
Grau, who has openly defied him, no
prosecution other than a few sporadic
outbursts against obscure playhouses
seem likely.

Big Bank Trust
The big banks of this city and of the
other principal cities Of this country, In
Guiding the so-ca1led Morse chain Of
banks, are not to have everything their
own way any longer if the plans of GER
tain capitalists to consolidate under one
management 100 or more Of the smaller
banks in the principal cities and states
OF the Union are successfully carried out
AS explained by one Of it's promoters
the plan to practically unite under one
management, and in community of in
terest, some of the principal smaller
banks of the country. This is to be done
by means Of securities company that
has been or will be organized under the
laws of New Jersey for that purpose 1t
was said that the capital of the securi-
ties company would probably be between
$50,000,0OO and $190. 000,0OO and that at least
100 banks would be embraced in the plan.
If this plan is carried into effect sue

They Go Incog Now
w. K. Vanderbilt is reported to have
sailed on Wednesday for Europe on
board the Philadelphia, although his
name does not appear on the passenger
list This is new fad Of our nlulH-mi-
honaires. 1t is their way of travelling
incognito, and last year it may be recall
ed that Frederick Vanderbilt ran over to
Europe twice without anything being
known about his trips until weeks after
he had returned home. Among others
who sailed on board the same vessel
were the Countess Pappenheim who was
formerly Miss Wheeler, of Philadelphia;
Miss Amy Garden and Mrs. Oliver Harri-
man.
Manufactures Increase Nearly Half
The census bureau issued a preliminary
report today on manufacturing industries
Of New York state, showing a total cap
ital of $1,679 515 invested in these in
dustries, an increase Of 49 per cent.
The total value of the products, in
cluding custom work and repairing, in
1900 was $2,175, ,766, 900, an increase Of N
Per cent since 1890.

this subject OF Southern disfranchise-
ment, it is just as well for the Repub-
lican politicians to understand that
the Democratic party is perfectly willing
to meet them before the electors of the
North and South alike on that issue,
and that If additional issues are in the
Judgment Of Democrats necessary In or
der to bring out with absolute clearness
the truth Of the position which the ad-
ministration politicians occupy, there is
no such Issue which could be made with
greater advantage by the opposition
than the one as to whether the punish
ment Of loss Of representation is to be
inflicted on the South for adopting its
