States navy is equipped with a steam
launch, but the naval officers have
long realized that the boat at present
in use is far from being as efficient
at it might be. The present type of
boat has been frequently condemned,
and never so freely as at the time OF
the deplorable tragedy in Hampton
Roads during the jamestown oXposi
ton, when a steam launch of the bat
tleship Minnesota drowned her crew
and a party of five midshipmcn.
The reason why the navy depart
ment had so long chung to the type
lay in the fact that the steam launch
had been found to be the only vessel
Of steam driven type that could be
carried on deck and be capable of
standing the rough work required of
them. But they are unsatisfactory in
many respects There is much rough
work which they are capable of doing,
bu! infinitely more important, there is
much military work which they are
incapable of doing
This is torpedo boat work Macy
of the more progressive officers of the
service long ago urged that the two
qualities should be combined that the
navy should be equipped with boats
capable of withstanding the rough
everyday work of a steam launch in
carrying landing parties to and fro,

should BIO combined with the offensive
! powers OF torpedo boat. This effort

boats to be Installed on the Maine and
the Texas II resulted in failure Not
because of there being anything wrong
with the theory, but by reason o. the
fact that boats propelled by steam

Tire fault was, therefore, in the type

STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
Desultory Speculation Centers in Cop
per Trade Stocks.

New York, July 3t--To-d days desul-
tory speculation eg1tered In the cop
per stocks and in shares OF companies
in allied Industries. The effect on
the general list was distinct but mod
crate except for the late bulge in
Reading. The features of the market
was the scarcity of stocks Offering, so
that the advances were made on com
paratlvely light dealings, This was
true even Of the copper stocks, In
which the dealings were most active.
The price of the metal was marked up
again at the metal exchange and the
price of warrants in London rose
again. At the same time, general adj
vices concerning the condition in the
trade were of marked improvement,
with reduction of stocks and growing
demand for consumers, There were
rumors in circulation Of the formation
Of speculative pools to operate some
of the most prominent copper stocks.
4 The movement was widespread af-
| fecting Amalgamated Copper, and,
/ abroad Rio Tirto, the principal for
eign producing company. Minor cop
per stocks moved in company, both
on the stock exchange and in the out
side market. American Smelling and
National Lead showed their usual
close sympathy with the movement Of
this group Of securities, The interest
shown In the rest Of the market was
somewhat languid and lapsed in the
pauses Of the buying of the coppers,
The Could stocks were first to move
outside the coppers. The announce
ment that provision had been made
