Galveston's Big Sea Wall Finished.

A dispatch from Galveston, Texas, last
night says: The sea wall to protect Calves
ton from overflow by the gulf during storms
was completed today. The wall is II, 53g
feet long and 10 wide at the base. feet
wide at the top, with a granite riprap apron
extending q feet outward. 1t cost ST. 1885,
1850, of which the contractors took 90 per
cent in sea wall bonds. The wall is paid
for excepting the July estimate, and the
cash is on hand to pay that when the con-
tractors present their bill
The two hundred feet width of filling be-
hind the wall is now in progress and will
cost approximately $4,000. There will be
no difficulty in regard to meeting this ex-
penditure, as the total bond issue was ST.
10000. The wall intersects with the gov.
eminent 5etty at the foot Of 9Th street, on
the bay shore To protect Fort Crockett
reservation the federal government will
extend the wall west to 18th street, which
is the western line of the reservation.

OPTIMISM IS GROWING.
Reports of Trade Outlook Very Graft
fying-Strike Effects.
jy26-d&ds

dispatch from New York last night
saws: The advices received this week from
special agents of the lHterna tional Mer-
camille Agency at the leading trade centers
of the country are. in the m in. satisfact-
ory. The spirit of optimism is growing and
confidence in good fall and winter business
Increases from week TO week
Current activity in the different indus
trial lines is not great but 1t is better
than it was year ago, With the very
wholesome influence of faith in better
things. A decided reaction has occurred
In the movement of stocks, bat this is not
due to any material change in business
prospects. There has been good growing
weather for the crops, which are ap-
preaching the harvest under continued
improved conditions.
In the spring wheat sections of the
northwest some rust has been discovered
which will reduce the yield. Harvesting
Is in progress in nearly all of the lead
ing winter wheat states. and the results
are better than farmers thought they
would be two weeks ago.
1t is beginning to be believed, though,
that the total yield will leave u small ex-
portable surplus and that the price of
wheat and flour during the next twelve
months will be high. The speculative
months are now at tHe lOp pTiCeS IOT tnlS
movement, having been helped by a war
scare, which produced an opposite effect
on stocks. The returns on wheat in the
southwest have stimulated business in
that part of the country.
The first symptom of encouragement
that has been shown at Kansas City is
APPARENT this week in reports of slack
condition of trade in most lines. Chicago
retailers are said to be more pessimistic
than they ought to be in view of actual
events. The packing house strike casts
a shadow over trade there even with ad-
vance orders for clothing, mems furnish
ings, shoes and wearing apparel quite
satisfactory.
Indianapolis indicated some improve
ment in dry goods and shoes, though with
hardware behind last year. The most
gratifying trade statements of all are
| those from Pittsburg. This is due to the
improvement that has come about in the
| iron and steel trade. The tone In this
basic trade is certainly much better thar
| II has been in year. and a sharp revival
| In ii Is not improbable after election.

The Cotton Mill Strike.

dispatch from Fall River. Mass, last
night says: The fifth day of the cotton mill
strike, in which the thirty-seven corpora
lions, controlling eighty-one mills and near

quietly as have the preceding days. FIRE.
quent rumors to the contrary, settlement
of the controversy appears distant At
tempts to operate the mills have been aban-
doned.
Only at the strike headquarters Is there
any semblance Of activity, so far as the
strike itself is concerned. There union OH
Gals were busy today devising means fol

General Harries Is authority for the

It is a question whether or not officers

Wireless Typography -NI - 49, u
Overcome DlmcGlty OF A.A-s
Years StaLIALK.

The most momenvous AL rON ensent in
naVIgatIon since the invention o. the
chronometer, more than l4O years ago.
has Just been foreshadow ed ID a hooest
paragraph in the report OF the chef OF
the bureau of equipment Of the United
States navy. 1T is believed, says Chief
Nancy, that the development of WIRE
less telegraphy will enable (timel sig
nails to be distribul ed over water as well
as over land, and that before long every
ship at sea, in addition to every land
station, will receive daily noon signals
from the standard observatory clock"
What does that mean? Nothing less
than the elimination of the last element
Of uncertainty from the problem Of find
ing the position of a ship at sea- Hith-
erto the one weak point in navigation
has been the difficulty of carrying stand
ard time on a voyage. Observations for
local time as well as for latitude have
been exact, but the comparison of local
standard time for obtaining the longi-
tude has involved a certain amount OF
guesswork. The best chronometer is
not quite infallible, and some allowance,
which may net be precisely right. has al
ways to be made for errors. But with
time signals from a national observa-
tory every day at noon the mariner will
know his way over any part of the wide
ocean as accurately as II he were thread
ing a buoyed channel. The chronometer
will join the cross-staff AID the astro-
labe on the junk heap of discarded make
shifts. And Of course a ship that can
communicate with the shore for one
purpose is equally in touch with the
world for any other communication IL
needs to make.
