FIREARMS MAKERS WANT PART

President Being Assured Of His Pop
ularity and Certainty Of Nomination
to Become His Own Successor.

The policy to be adopted at this session
of Congress in appropriat lions for the build
ing of the navy is already under considera-
ton by members of Congress. the Presi-
dent, the Secretary Of the Navy and others
who are most deeply interested. Representa-
tive Foss, chairman of the naval affairs COM
mittee of the House, was in conference
with the President this morning. The ma
ture of their talk was not disclosed, al
though it pertained to the navy and the
recommendations of the President that
there there shall be no diminution in the
steady progress of naval construction and
that there shall be provided a general naval
staff on lines similar to those Of the gen.
eral staff lately created for the army.
The size of the appropriation for ships
of the navy is really the most important
subject that the congressional experts are
thinking over now. There has developed
considerable influential opposition to au-
thoriZing as much construction at this ses-
sion as during the last year or so. The OPP
position Is not from enemies of larger
navy, but from those who feel that there
might we'll be sackening of shpbuildng
for a short time. On the other hand are
those who feel that there should not be any
curtailment of appropriations for fighting
ships, and that so long as the finances of
the country will permit large appropria-
lions Tor adul1onS TO the navy should be
made by Congress The Senate and House
committees on naval affairs will struggle
with the proposition of what is to be done
for some time before they begin to get
Their ideas in shape for presentation to theiS
respective bodies.
1t has been recently pointed out that so
far as battleships are concerned the United
States has larger navy under construction
than in commission. There are only ten
battleships in commission and fourteen now

larger and having more improvements than
those afoat.
Chairman Foss did not care to discuss
his views, but said:

Ex-Representative Montague Lessler of
New York called on the President today.
Mr.. Lessler has seen the newspaper talk
of i'll feeling in New York and elsewhere

amount to anything.

Duty on Silk Ribbons.

II. D. Dumont, a representative of the
Merchants Association of New York, pro-
tested to the President today against a re-
cent decision of the board of general ap-
praisers in New York that silk ribbons must
be classified, in payment of custom duties,
as trimmings In effect, the decision in
creases the duty on silk ribbons from so
per cent to 60 per cent of their value. MIR.
Dumont has taken the matter up with
Secretary Shaw and with the Department
Of Justice in an effort to obtain a modi-
fcation of the ruling. but it is probable
that the question will have to be settled
by the courts.
The President has no authority or power
to order change in the decisions of the
board of appraisers. Mr.. Dumont points
out that the decision will seriously en-
barrass those importers who have made
contracts for the delivery of silk ribbons
on a basis of import duty Of 80 per
cent There is much dissatisfaction among
importers as to the decision of the board
which is the highest authority, except the
courts, in the determination of the duty a
class of goods must pay.
The President has determined upon the
nomination OF Thomas j. Atkins as sub
treasurer at the st. Louis subtreasury.
Mr.. Atkins. who is chairman of the repub-
Hcan state committee Of Missouri will take
the place of B. G. Farrar, who has been
subtreasurer at st. Louis for eight years,
and who Is regarded as one of the best
officials the subtreSsury ever had The
SiidilSc, HoWcHSI, Quc W tile IdCt tndI
Mr.. Atkins has the combined political ma
chine Of Missouri back of him, as we'll as
strong backing from business and other
sources. He has been in Washington sew
eral days and has made two visits to the
White House, where his claims have been
fully presented.
c. NJ. Daily, representing manufacturers
of arms throughout the country, talked
to the President today about the feeling
of manufacturers that they should be al
lowed to manufacture part, If not all, of
the service arms for the government The
principal reason for this belief on the
part of manufacturers is that, not having
anything to do with making the guns
and other arms in time of peace, they are
poorly prepared to assist the govern
ment in time of war, when they are
called upon. Mr.. Daily says that it takes
a year or so to build up the machinery
necessary to turning out government
armament. and he believes that it would
be wise for the government to give part
of its work to manufacturers now, so
that they might have the machinery al
ways ready for turning out orders that
might be placed with them at any time.

YEsTERDAY'S STOCK MARKET.
Prices Go Down Without Any Clear
 Reason.

| New York, May 7.-Prices went down.
 wards on the stock exchange to-day
 without any very clear reason, although
 the theories current for the decline took a wide range over the whole financial 1 field on the part of the board room | traders, who had the market to them selves. The factor which came in for most discussion to-day in seeking an explanation for the decline was the
 problem of the foreign exchanges and
 possible gold exports. The develop
 ments in connection with the new Transvaal loan, for which subscrip- tions were open to-day, were of fore
 most significance as bearing on the ex- change question. The terms of the loan are much as expected and the strength of sterling reflected the continued direc-' tion of funds towards London. Sub- scriptions for American account are small, but the maturity of foreign loans
 in this market makes the London pres sure for money effective in New York. Only per cent. of the subscriptions is required to be paid on application, but the over-subscription promises to be so
 great that it is estimated that appli- cants will not receive over per cent. of the amounts asked for. On this ba-
 sis the per cent. on the total applica- ton would amount to something over
 half the total sum of the full subscrip- tion.
 The immediate pressure for credits in London is thus easily understood. An other cause to which the days depres- sion is attributed was the slump in the sinking fund bonds of the United States Shipbuildlng company. These bonds have never had more than nominal market, but their last sale price on the exchange was 80. Sales to-day were made as low as 49. No explanation of this incident was offered
 There was a much greater show of authority to-day for assertions that the Rock Island and St. Louis and San Francisco deal was about to be con- summated. The market closed, in fact, with a general conviction that an an- nouncement was imminent. Amalga- mated was well sustained. The market closed steady, but only slightly above the lowest.
 Bonds were irregular The total sales, par value, aggregated $1,410000.

It will be illustrated with over one hundred views and will be one of the treats ot the season. The entertainment is complimentary one to members of the association, their friends and the gen. eral public.
 The speaker is well known as lec- turer and ras met with great success in this field. He is a lawyer and is president of the Joseph Ladus compa- ny, of Yukon. He has been to Alaska and the Klondike many times and his lectures are not merely book lectures, but contain personal experiences, which only make lecture of this kind of interest to the general public.
 MT. Botsford has in his collection ot views a complete set of views of Alas ka scenery taken during trip down the coast to Dawson. and contrasting the old and new methods of transpor- tation. The views of the railway which winds its way up the mountain from skagway are said to be especial ly fine. He has also a number of views of the native Indians, with their curi- ous lodges and totem poles.
 At the regular mass meeting for men next Sunday afternoon as usual in Foy Auditorium, the speaker will be the Rev. Dr. M. E. Phillips, educational and religious director of the associa- ton. A feature of the meeting will be a musical programme by the New Ha- ven Orchestral club. The club has been heard before at these Sunday af- ternoon meetings and are always greeted by large audience.
 Their programme next Sunday has been carefully prepared and will be particularly adapted to the occasion. The full orchestra will be present and a feature of the programme will be a duett by Messrs. Field and Clark of the club.
