The Baltimore Disaster and the War
in the East Have as Yet Exer-
cised No Very Great In
fIuence on Business
Here.
Here.
lBy the Associated Press.)

New York, Feb. 11.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
Cold weather is still d bar to expan-
sion in spring trade throughout the West,
but Southern distribution continues not
ably active and signs OF life are found
in leading Eastern markets. The Balti-
more disaster and the beginning OF hos
tilities in the Far East, though affect
ing speculative markets to some extent,
have as yet not had notable results on
trade outside OF sections Immediately con-
cerned, though some OF the present great
strength OF prices of most commodities
may be attributed to the latter develop
ment Trade ana industrial operations
betray effects of conservatism some time
ago predicted, but it is yet too early to
measure the possib Die extent to which the
seasons turn over will contrast with the
exceptionally large business done IN alt
lines one year ago. Railway operations,
owing to severe weather in January, are
resulting in decreased gross earnings,
following reduced net returns in Deem

with February 10, number 202 against

Kept out for five months until mo. Y, -
it's relief ship. was completed.
The cause of the mutiny was trivial
and was the result Of nervous irritation
caused by the unexpected delay in the
arrival of the other boat. AS one would
naturally suppose. men who ate willing
to accept such employment do not pos
sess very sensitive organisms, but the hui
man mind can stand only SO much strain.
and even those tough sailors are still sus
coptble to the influence of their sur
roundings. The captain reproved th2
mate for playing cards with the sailors
He thought it was a sacrifice of dignity
and injurious to the discipline OF the ship.
The mate brooded over the matter, oxcit-
ed the sympathy Of the engineer, and the
two waited upon the captain and told him
that he was putting on airs. Tho captain
drew his revolver. The engineer and the
nc te disarmed him and concealed the
weapon. The crew sympathized with
them, and the captain was practically a
prisoner on his own ship until mo. 70"
came out to relieve them and mo. IL
went back to Norfolk. Upon the arrival
there the captain and everybody else on
board relieved their nervous strain by &C.
iIg off and getting drunk and painting
the town red.
When the Inspector heard Of their az
rival he went down to the ship and found
il deserted. The captain was discharged
for getting drunk with his crew, although
one cannot help feeling little sympathy
with him because of his unstrung nerves.
He had been out two months longer than
usual, and the season had been one OF
the stormicst known. Sometimes he did
not have a nights sleep for days at a
time, nor dry clothing. But discipline Is
discipline, ard the lighthouse service can
not tolerate capatain who will get drunk
under any circumstances.
