Pensacola Fla, Aug, 15.--(Special.)
 -At meeting of the Board of County commissioners last night. Frank John son. who for years as a member of the board appeared and made a request that the suits that had been brought against himself and former commissioners of Escambfa county be dismissed by the board. These suits aggregate about sS.oOo. and are for moneys drawn in excess of the amounts allowed by the law by the commissioners. Mir. John son stated that every commissioner had rendered service for the money received and that at that time 1t was not known that the commissioners were limited to a stipulated sum each year for services. The board decided to take the matter under advisement and discuss 1t further at the, next meeting. The county audi tor recently in checking up the ac- counts of the county found that the old board had exceeded the amount allow ed 1t by ss.ooo and the members of the new board by about s2,foo The latter settled. and when the old members re- fused suit was brought.

Cannop Pre.ented to CIty.


 Two of the immense cannon. which have been in service at Forts Pickens and Barrancas. have been presented the city by the war department, and if the City Council appropriates enough money to remove them, together with the carriages. they will ornament the Plaza. one being placed on each side of the monument. They are the last two cannon of any size left at, the fort ifications that have been condemned by the department. and 1t Is the desire of the mayor to secure them for the city and place them in public place, inasmuch as Pensacola. a city which has witnessed wars between nations, has at present no relic of this nature in any public place. Recently applfca- ton was made for the two remaining ten-inch rifles. but at first it seemed as though they were not to be secured as other cities had already applied for them. but the department finally de- cided that Pensacola should have first call and presented them to the munich pality, provided the carriages be pur- chased, each at a cost of $35, and the guns be removed at an early date. This will cost over $500, but many consider the amount trivial when it Is consider ed the city may never have another opportunity of securing two such cam non. Each of the cannon weighs l6.-, 900 pounds, and the carriages weigh the same amount. The finance commit tee of the City Council is now looking into the matter and will make a re- port at the next meeting with recom- mendation as to whether the city can afford the expense.

Wall Street Worried.

The feeling of irritation which Is ieit
in washington has communicated ltseil
in full measure to Wall street, and
everybody who is interested In STOCKS
and bonds will be heartily glad when
Congress adjourns, although a fresh
cause for uneasiness will follow In the IN
auguratlon of political campaign. Inc
snarl over the rate bill Is leaving very
bad taste in the mouth OF the pubic
and the Washington situation appears to
he full of trouble and complications which
excltes more than passing interest In the
financial section. There has never been
a time since Mr. Roosevelts incumbency
at the White House that feeling against
him has run so high in Wall street as
now. The fact may not reduce his pop
MARTY with the masses but 1t Is mem
toned as matter of current history.
Members of Congress of all shades OF
nolitIcal belief agree that the democrats
have good fighting chance or electlng
majority of the members or the Lower
Branch. Republicans who have been IN
New York lately are very outspoken IN
this respect and some of them are I'M
charitable enough to say that II the conf
nIexion of the House should change 1t
would he another piece of Roosevelt
lucl,,, This view is based on the theory
that It would be impossible for MIN
anyway to carry some OF his AMBITIOUS
projects through and that with DEM
ocratic House he could have valid ex-
cuse for failure. Wall street hears OF
these things and has become quite
school for political discussion lately.

IJlls project for the building of another
railroad through its territory. Canadian
Pacific Is one of the marve1s of the
street. 1t has more than doubled it's
capitalization and debt during the last
five years, and the market price of the
stock has advanced nearly 100 points
against which it may be said that the
mileage has increased only slightly while
it's landed possessions have been greatly
reduced. This anomalous condition of af-
fairs excites very little discussion in the
street and 1t Is taken for granted that
the bull party can put the price of the
stock where 1t wants to and hold 1t there.
Amalgamated Copper Is making about
s25 100000 a year and its net revenue Is
said to be nearly II per cent. A very ag
gresslve pool is continually at work in
Amalgamated and the stock has become
more popular than ever with the floor
trading element on account of the chances
presented for rapid action. Tt makes the
average trader dizzy to watch its gyra-
tons. Mr. Rogers is given entire credit
for the whirlwind manipulation OF this
security.

James J. Hill Old.

James ]. Hills announcement of inten-
ton to parallel Canadian Pacific with
another line of railroad to the Pacific
calls attention to the fact that the great
magnate is already an old man. He Is 6S
years old and plans which he has perfect
ed will take at least five years to COM
plete, and possibly eight. Mr.. Hills per-
sonality in all the enterprises with which
he Is identified is overwhelming. So far
as known he has nobody in training to
take his place, and the street is filling up
with doubling Thomases who are saying
that when he dies his great railroad sys-
TENS will lose their standing and back
track in Importance. This idea has pre-
vailed in the case of many other old
men who have built up great enterprises,
yet instances are rare where properties
so created have really gone to smash
after the demise of thelr founders The
case of A. T. Stewart is one notable
exception to this rule. Commodore
Cornelius Vanderbilt kept in harness I'M
til within a very short time before his
death and was a constructive giant up to
his 18th year. Coils p. Huntington was
90 years old when he died, yet a few
months before he passed away he was
planning for an invasion of the Philip
pines and the building of thousands of
miles of railway in our new colonies.

Delaware and Lackawanna after he had

he led the victorious German legion in

Gladstone retained his vigor past four

Too Much Red Fire.

There was rather too much red fire
and stage play to the fotation of that
S50,000,000 Pennsylvania loan. AS a spec

may be described as a bowling success.
The piece was staged with a keen Iappre-
station of scenic effect and went through
without a slip. The street swallowed
without question the official announce
ment that the loan had been oversubscrib-
ed and that Banks and other Investment
institutions were hungry for more. As
showing of good credit the incident was
as it was intended to be by
those in charge and by the banking in
terests concerned. In the enthusiasm over
the flotation of the notes the fact Is
temporarily lost sight of that the money
was borrowed at high rate of interest

huge borrowings by corporations cannot

are bullish at the beginning of a bust

dullness when there Is a universally rec
