DULL IN LONDON.
Stock Market is Characterised by a
 General Depression.

London, october 25.-Dullness and de- precision characterized all departments of the stock exchange during the past week, and until the rumors of war in the far east are dispelled there is little likelihood of any sustained improvement Not only the stocks immediately affected by the war rumors, but home railways also suf- fered heavily during the latter part of the week.
 Americans were affected by the failures in the United States. So many adverse in- nuences are at work on the market n- vesting that the public are hoIsing aloof. The American market was sustained by pear re-purchases, but on the whole 1t shows a sagging tendency.

The Ocean Daily.

From the Rocky Mountain News.
The steamers Minneapolis and EutraFia
treated their passengers to the novelty
of a daily paper published on shipbOard
by wireless messages received from the
coast. When the passengers came into
the dining room to sip their morning
coffee ard chat together each one found
a copy of the small daily, containing the
latest news Of the world, folded neatly
and laid beside his plate. The dispatch
announces that though they missed the
bright headlines and lifelike pictures OF
the newspapers printed on land they en-
ioyed the unique privilege of keeping
track of the stock market, the turf events
and other news Of the world"
1t Is estimated that there are more
than 100000 81. people on the ocean all
the time so that large constituency is
waiting to be served by this new child
of journalism.
The publication of a paper like this
marks a step forward in the achieve
ments Of science. The wireless daily Is
still an infant, hardly out of its swadIing
clothes, and ID its present form looks
more ike live stock or hotel bulletin
than daily newspaper, but there Is
room for immense developemeut and the
expansion OF the ocean daily aloug sew
eral lines viii be one of the interesting
features Of the next few years.

From the Kansas City Star,
By patiently hiding its time Kansas
has succeeded IN having its name given
to one Of the latest and finest battleships
In the navy. The Kansas will not be so
large as a few Of the others but it will be
considerably larger than such famous
vessels as the Oregon, the Alabama and
the Kearsage and it viii carry as heavy
battery of big guns as any big ship
that floats.
The plan to name battle ships after
the states was a happy one. There are
a few battle ships from the old navy
which ought to be perpetuated. The
Kearsargs was one of these. There
might well be added the Constitution.
the Constellation, the United States, the
Bonnie Homme Richard and a few
others. But most of the battle ships
are well named after states. In general
the names are dignifed and character
istically American. The Missouri, the
Kansas, the Wisconsin, the Ohio, the Al
ALBANIA, the Minnesota all sound we'll
when applied to the most powerful type
of fighting ships They are far prefer
able to the British Caesar, Hannibal,
Jupiter, Campus and Goliath. For the
sake of euphOny it might be desired that
the DakOtas, the CarOIinas and the Viz
ginias get on with single ship for each
two states and so spare the navy a repi-
tition of the name with the UOrth, south
and west attached. Up to the present
time SO states have been hOnOred by the
navy department. First came Maine
aud Texas, then Massachusetts,, Indiana
Oregon and New York, and later Iowa,
Illinois, Wisconsin, Alabama, Kentucky
Missouri, Ohio, Georgia, New Jersey,
Connecticut, Louisiana, Nebraska, Vir-
ginia, Rhode Island, California, COlora-
do, Maryland, Pennsylvania, South Da
kOts, Tennessee, Washington, West Vir-
ginia, Florida, Nevada, Wyoming,
Arkansas, and now Vermont, Minneso-
Ia, Mississippi and Kansas. Only the
CarOlinas, Michigan, New Hampshire,
North Dakota, Delaware, Montana, Ida
no and Utah, with the territories, re
main to be cared for. As these names
will be attached to the larger vessels &c
be provided It may happen that the bat
tleship Delaware will be twice as big as
the Texas and that the Utah will outclass
the New York.

He also knew the life he had led,
And he understood her when she said,

Half a century ago the United States
had about 100000 acres of public
lands. Less than one fourth Of this
vast estate is now IN the possession of
the government. According to the re-
port Of a senate committee 'the entire
public domain suitable for settlement
will be exhausted aud there will be no
land left for our people who desire to
make homes on it if our present sys-
TEN of land acts continues five years
longer" The success Of the projected
irrigation system viii assist in solving
the problem.
