News.

st. Petersburg, June 13.-This ev-
ening the foreign office made the fol
lowing announcement to the Associa-
ted Press: Japan has not yet inform
ed us where and when she desires us
TO meet her plenipotentiaries, but we
may receive a communication at any
moment"
Reply Received.
Washington, June 13.-It was an
nounced today the formal reply of the
Russian government to the president S
Identical note of last Thursday is in
the hands of the American government
The response was handed to Ambassa-
dor Meyer at St. Petersburg by Count
LamsdOrff, and transmitted by the ann
bassador to the president. II can be
said that it is in perfect consonance
with the oral assurances given the
president yesterday by the Russian
ambassador. Cassini.
Will Not Make Public.
The president has decided not to
make public the replies of Russia and
Japan to his appeal for the cessation
OF hOstilties. This determination was
arrived at at the suggestion of both
belligerents that the publication of the
responses at this juncture might not
be desirable. Official assurance is Civ
en-, however. that informal statements
of the contents of the replies are not
only accurate, but practically as com
plete as the information contained in
them.

Had No Practice

All the stories of extensive target
practice in Madagascar it seems were
false. During the entire voyage there
practically was no training in gunnery
worthy of the name, and the big gun
practice was confined TO three shots
per vessel. Ugly stories are told of
the happenings at Madagascar Some
of the crews certainly were unframed
in gunnery. and exhausted by the eight
months voyage under trying moral
and physical conditions were no match
for the veteran Japanese. whose
craftsmanship was wonderful.

The Japanese concentrated their fire
on one ship until it was placed out of
action, and then on another. thus sue

OUR GREAT NAVY.

During the first administration of President Grover Cleveland was be- gun the upbuilding of the United States navy. But for that Democratic policy the war with Spain would have found our navy unprepared for the emergency and history might not have recorded such brilliant sea vic tories as were gained under Demo cratic admiraIs. Now it is recalled that the policy of providing greater harbors of the United States with adequate protection against attacks by foreign power was originated by by Samuel J. Tilden, resulting in the Endicott board appointed by Presi- dent Cleveland to prepare a plan for making our harbors impregnable. The Endicott board recommended that s150,OOO be expended for the purpose and prepared plans accord ingly.
 The report is now made by Secre- tary Taft that SS0,O0O, 900 has already been expended in carrying out the plans resulting from Mir. Tilden's suggestion and that it is hoped to ac- complish the work with s40,000,- 900 more, making ;12O, ,OOO, 900 in all. According to MT. Taft. the combined fleets of any two powers could not now effect a hostile entrance into any one of our twenty-five ports except under cover of fog, and it is pro posed by means of submarine boats and torpedo defenses to make 1t i'm possible for foreign Barships to get In under any circumstances in the event of war. The eighty millions thus expended have been distributed through twenty-five years, 90 that the burden upon the taxpayers has not been heavy in any one year.
 'Tt is a satisfaction" says the Hart. ford Times, "to know that this great work. originated by the eminent Dem. ocratic leader who was so unfairly deprived of the presidency in 1877, was initiated by the first Democratic administration which was placed in power after the civil war. and that the work was well planned and is of great benefit to the country as a SC curity against foreign attack and in- yaslon."
 For years the Republican party has been loudly claiming the credit for the brilliant achievements of tho Democracy in this respect.

THE MAIN STREET SUBWAY.

The subway on Main street, built for the expressed purpose of carrying the flood waters of Tombstone can yon, continues to be 8 source of wor- riment and expense to Main street property owners, and illustrates the utter impracticability of maintaining the present subway without contin- ued expense of not less than $7,5OO per annum. Briefly, the subway has teen a dismal failure, and the first Lbing to be done should be the obtain ing of expert engineering authority on she matter of carrying the Tombstone canyon flood waters along that DOT ton of the citys thoroughfare. Sev- sral free will opinions have been of fered as to how the difficulty can 5e overcome, but the subway is an en- gineering proposition, not an impos- slble one by any means, and the sooner a new start is made looking to a feasible subway that will carry the debris, the sooner will the proper jy owners along Main street be free-l from a burden of continual expense.
 The subway was built as a private enterprise. in which the Copper Queen Company and several Main street property owners contributed. At the first sign of failure of the sub way to do the work expected, there were assertions from the ranks, until the last cleaning was borne entirely by the Copper Queen. In the face of this dismal failure, the promoters of this private enterprise are possessed of more than the ordinary allowance of gall, to ask the taxpayers of Bis lee in general to contribute towards the cleaning and repair of a subway that was built by private capital. for the benefit of a few individuals, and has since proven a failure.
 While it is admitted, to a certain ex- tent, that the subway is a benefit to the entire community. it is no more so than the paving of street or ave nue, and such improvements are spe- ctal. and are charge direct aganst the property abutting on such thor Oughfare on improvement.
 The subway should be under con trol Of the city. It's maintenance should be charge against Main street property owners according to their frontage, but first, the subway should be rebuilt and remodeIed. The pres ent arrangement is a bad mess all around. and the sooner it IS wiped out and new deal made the better it vii. be for all concerned.

HANG ON TO YOUR POLICIES.

Reports from New York say. that many holders of life insurance pol icies are refusing to pay further pre- miums on them, on account of the recent revelations of crookedness in some of the companies. This is folly. By allowing their policies to lapse without making any sort of terms with the companies the holders would lose everything which they have paid in. Not only so, but they would thus increase the funds which would be at the mercy of the crooks in such com. panies as the crooks dominate
 There is a strong probability that most of the insurance companies are managed honestly and economically, says the Globe-Democrat. More over, the big companies which are be- ing footed by some of their officers are likely to be solvent still It is not certain that they are solvent, for the examination of their assets by the committee has yet to take place. In the absence of a careful, impartial examination from the outside, the public will be in doubt as to those companies exact financial status.
 'bere has been so much crookedness in the conduct of some of their lead 'og officers that the word of those persons as to the monetary standing of their companies would carry no weight with the policy holders. The death claims can undoubtedly be paid, but the holders of the ten, fifteen and twenty-year term policies will not at those policies maturity get anywhere near the amount which they were lead to believe they would get, although the technically guaran. teed payments will probably be met
 The sensible thing for the policy holders is to hang on to their policies and make the best terms possible with the companies. When the com. AuibICS VI III ANtn finishes with the Mutual, the New York Life and the Equitable it will take up some of the other companies It Is fair to presume that the Hydes, Alexanders, McCalls and McCurdys will not be found difrused through the whole insurance fraternity, or through any large part of it. It is said the New York Life directors re. fuse to remove Mccall McCurdy of the Mutual declares he has no inten- tion of resigning, and says even the directors cannot put him out before the expiration of his term next June. But whether solvent or not, those companies can never regain the pub. lie confidence while their present heads remain in power. Every policy holder of both companies should take pains to keep in good standing in them, so as to be able hereafter to exert some influence in the manage ment of their affairs.

The dispatch received yesterday by the editor of this paper from Super. intendent Naugle of the Gsaymas railroad, announcing the arrival at that place of Mir. Hoffman, a mem. Der of the Grindell party, which left here about the first of last June leaves a faint hope that the rest O4 the party may yet put in an appear ance. Hoffman says the party be came separated at the crossing to Tiburon. Grindell or some others oi his party may yet be wandering in Mexico, but 1t is more likely that they have all perished for lack of food and water.

I was never more sick in my life, and sent to the drug store for certain cholera mixture, but the druggist sent me a bottle of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy in- stead, saying he had what I sent for, but that this medicine was so much better he'd rather send it to me in the fix I was in.

MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York. May 29.-The market for
stocks in New York today, was made al
most wholly from London. The amount
of business originating on this side Mas
insignificant. The dealings for London
account were of an arbitrage character
except for some apparent demand for Eu-
rOpean account for the Japanese bonds
London took Il very hopeful view of the
results to follow the decisive defeat of
the Russian fleet and prospects for peace
were believed to be brighter All finan-
cial markets are agreed as to the benefits
to their own affairs of the termination of
the war. There was a momentary hope
that the improvement of prices would
prove the needed factor to stir the Sc
curities markets out of their apathy. but
the hope was short lived SC far the
New York market was concerned The
higher level of prices established in sym
pathy with London failed entirely to at
tract any demand. and there was "A Ian
guild pressure of long stocks at IA few
points which served as an additional dis
enlargement.
The United States Steel stocks were
heavy at the advance and there was real
izing in Ontario & Western on last weeks
large gain. Railroad traffic officials re-
ported some tendency to the customary
mid-season dulln"ss but expressed them
selves on the whole as well satisfied with
the volume of traffic Offering. Prices
dropped from neglect during the midday
period but rose to the best in the final
dealings. making the closing strong.
Dealings in the Japanese bonds dealt in
on the New York exchange were on Il
large scale and the three issues show
gains ranging from S's to points. The
bora market generally was dull and irreg-
ular.
Total sales, par value. S7.6oO.OO0 United
States bonds were ALI unchanged on call.
