MONEY AND BUSINESS

A declining tendency developed in the security
market last week without any especially de-
pressing influence; IN fact the easier rates for
call loans and the large receipts of gold might
have been expected to give support as the fnan-
cial situation has dominated the stock market
for some time. The market has been called unon
to absorb considerable stock that returned from
Europe, yet this came out In small lots and an
peared Insignificant in comparison with the large
aggregate of business It is not possible IN
estimate the influence Of the nomination for
Governor at Buffalo. because of the small extent
TO which the general public is involved In the
present market. Had there been large outside
holdings 1t IS certain that much liouida+ton
would have occurred but It is doubtful whether
the strong interests in control would sac
rifce any part of their holdings on that account
Reading has continued to occupy the position of
greatest prominence, but declined considerably
from the recent high record position Efforts to
dislodge the short account in that stock were
only partially successful although the price rose
above 100 before the close on Saturday, and
much covering OF outstanding obligations indi-

Lower rates for call loans with no correspond

THE GOVERNMENT As A sHIPBUILDER.

The country has occasion for feeling peculiar
pride in the battleship Connecticut which Is
now SO nearly completed that she was placed in
commission on Saturday The building of this
vessel was begun at the Brooklyn Navy Yard
month after the keel of her sister ship. the
Louisiana, was laid at Newport News. Yet Con-
st1uctor Baxter declares that work on the for
mer vessel is to-day further advanced than 1t is
on the latter. Had there not been delay in re-
ceiving materials which had been ordered for the
magnificent sea fighter which Captain Swift now
commands, she would have been ready for ser
vice several months ago. The fact that the Con-
necticut is the only ship of her class which the
government itself ever built renders significant
the fine progress made with her. The cruiser
Cincinnati and other comparatively small vessels
have been constructed under similar auspices
but in size and gun power the Connecticut rep
resents the latest ideas which have been carried
into execution for the benefit of the American
navy. 1t is not improbable that the builders OF
the Louisiana would have been more deliberate
than they were had it not been for the stimulus
Of lively competition. Yet even it is there
has been a convincing demonstration that the
government is quite equal to the most colossal
task of this kind which it will ever need to have
performed, and can finish it quite as soon as, if
not sooner than, any private shipbuiIding firm.
1t is probable that when a final comparison is
ndue between tne TWO NeSSelS the cost OF Ihe
Connecticut will appear to have been a little
larger than that of the Louisiana. Perhaps the
difference would have been imperceptibIe if the
Brooklyn yard had been engaged continuously in
work of the same magnitude, but the object les
son that has been afforded by an exhibition of
its capacity is worth many times any possible
excess in expenditure. Generally speaking the
United States will doubtless find it good policy
to secure most of its war vessels, guns and
armor from private contractors. but it may save
millions of dollars In few years through it's
ability to assume an independent attitude toward

CHEAP ELECTRICITY FOR PARIS.

Since Niagara was successfully "harnessed"
for the benefit Of industry dozen years ago,
and the possibility OF the transmission Of power
in the form Of electricity to distance was fully
revealed, an almost countless number of under
taklngs Of the same general nature have been
proposed elsewhere, and many Of them have
been carried into execution. The latest sugges-
ton, made recently in France. has in view the
supplying of Paris with about 100000 horse
power. If the scheme should be adopted, the
necessary works would be erected at Monthoux,
on the Upper Rh0ne, and transmission line
2I4 miles long would be constructed between
mat point and the French metropolis
Ine Prefect Of the Seine, the official who ex-
erclses the functions of Mayor of Paris, quickly
saw the Importance of the plan, and submitted
IT TO expert engineers for examination. The
technical features Of the project received hearty
commentator, but the advisers of the Prefect
were unable TO give 1t unqualified approval.
Ihey heartily favored providing Paris with alec.
tricity on such a large scale AS to maka u
cheap, but they preferred getting the current
from another source. They declared that the
first cost Of steam plant In the jmmadiata
vicinity Of Paris would be onIv so GOO 600
whereas the hydraulic works and cables for
the transmission OF the power would ipyoIvo
an outlay of S12O00oO0 1t was nonta1 o,t

tier that In time Of war a station there wonI6

DEsERTIONS FROM THE NAVY.

It is reported that the exceptionally large
wages offered to common laborers in San Fran
cisco-S5 a day-have led to a highly irregular
thinning Of the ranks of the marines on duty
at the Mare Island Navy Yard. The tempta-
ton abruptly and unceremoniously to abandon
the government service which is Just now pre-
sented at the Golden Gate is peculiarly power
full, and probably without precedent In the
ordinary course Of events it is not likely TO be
equalled anywhere else. Nevertheless, it re-
wives a question which must have arisen many
times in the minds of naval officers, Whether or
not 1t is wise to make honorable retirement from
the naval service extremely difficult
good deal can be said in favor OF a liberal
policy in such matters. To avoid military duty
when war is pending implies cowardice and
treachery, both of which deserve the imposition
Of the severest penalties. desire TO leave the
service In time of peace is an entirely different
thing It is practically never inspired by phys
lcal fear, and can hardly be regarded as dis
loyal. The most common explanation is the
discovery, that the offender has got into an
occupation for which he is not fitted Such
unsuitability IS not necessarily discredtable
Men in other walks Of life change their pur-
suits without incurrlng reproach Is marine
or sailor to be blamed for wanting to do so.
too?
It is by no means improbable that the service
would be distinctly benefited by such a modifi-
cation of the present military regulations as
would open the way for an honorable discharge
from the navy and marine corps as soon as a
man had been found to have made a serious mis-
take in enlisting. The privilege should not be
granted too easily. The conditions on which 1t
might be granted need to be studied carefully.
Perhaps it would be profitable to have special
commission designated by the Secretary Of the
Navy TO consider the subject and report to
him. He would then be in advantageous
position to seek such legislation as he thought
desirable Even without preliminary action by
Mr.. Bonaparte the naval committees of Con
gress might Investigate the matter We should
not be surprised if an inquiry Of this sort led
TO the conclusion that the amendment here sug-
gested would encourage enlistment and draw
into the service a specially desirable class of
