RRADsTREET's REPORT.

New York, July f3.-Bradstreet's
weekly trade repor, ISSUED today is as
follows: Trade and industry are of a
very large volume for an ordinarily
quiet midsummer period. Glowing
crop prospects. with close to record
possible yields of wheat and corn and
large ont turns of pu.atoes, barley and
cotton. have made ror confidence in
placing future orders to extend. not
usual at this early date.
Building continues active without
apparent check Iron and steel trades
report shorter than usual. summer
shut downs, and the probability and
likelihood OF large ssurplus supplies
of wheat and corn lead to the hope
thar the export trade will show ex
pansion in a shoOrt time. Late advices
are. however. that low prices check
the new wheat movement. Railroad
interests themselves has been sur
Dr.sed at the immense volume Of bust
ness offerings. which has resulted in
the gain in gross earnings Of over -
per cent. for June IS compared with

History Repeats Itself.

English history contains Z clos
er parallel than the interdict
launched by Pope Innocent III. 1t
is the struggle between the Roman
Catholic Church and Henry VIII,
a struggle which originated in the
efforts Of Henry to divorce Cath
crime of Aragon.
The rupture OF the relations be-
tween the Vatican and the French
springs from the efforts Of France
to divorce the church. The points
of resemblance in these two ma
tional crises are very numerous.
1t is not beyond the bounds of
possibility that the final result of
the French conflict may continue
the analogy. In the struggle with
King Henry VIII, the church was
the supreme spiritual power of the
world and divided political SUI
premacy with an emperor, yet the
King Won, mainly because he
that is, the government was sup
ported by the people.
1t is the inveterate habit with
anti.republican leaders to attempt
to draw distinction between the
French government and the French
people. Few greater errors could
be made. Whether the opposition,
clerical or political, admit it or not,
the fact remains that the French
nation is not to be won away from
democratic principles and that not
one Frenchman in ten thousand
would abandon the right to self
government.

be fired in broadsidc. The Dread
nought can fire only eight of her
turrets being placed on her port
and starboard sides, respectively, |
in such manner that one obstruCts |
the other when the vesse! lies |
broadside on to the object fired at. |
On the other hand, the British !
battleship can fire six guns stimuli
taneously ahead or astern, while
the one planned by our naval
authorities would be able to pop
off only four of hers in bow or
stern fire. These advantages and
disadvantages probably balance
each other, SO that if equality is to
be obtained by the greater size and
cost of our projected ship the de-
sign thereof is inferior to that of
the British vessel.
Two battleships are now under
construction for our navy, the
Michigan and the South Carolina,
which, though they are designed
to fire all of them in a broadside.
In this respect, therefore, these
ships will be equals of the Dread
nought. They will be able to train
four guns at time fore and aft,
thus equaling the projected 10000
tonner in bow and stern fire. Their
secondary batteries will consist of
5-inch guns, whereas the Dread
nought carries only IS-pounders.
The deficiency Of the Michigan
and South Carolina i'll bow and
stern fire would be thus made up,
and these vessels be practically
equivalent in power to the British
battleship. 1t would seem that
this is Il good enough type to stick
to. Uniformity is of some impor-
lance in fleet. If we must have
more battleships, do not let us
yield to a momentary craze fol
mere bigness. Let us build Mich.
igans and South Carolinas and not
abandon this type for another
which costs more without having
any apparent compensating advan
