WALL STREET NOTES.

A continuance of speciality operations
which at the present time dominates
the stock market, may be looked for
pending the steel corporation meeting,
adjournment of Congress and the Au-
gust government crop reports. All of
these events are expected to prove
favorable so far as the stock market is
concerned, and to aid in working up
public interest In speculation, which,
as many indications point, is the de-
sire of the financial power TO develop
and to bring about an active bull cam
paign in the early fall. There appears
TO be Just one side of the market at
present, and that Is the long side. The
purchase of stocks should be favored
on all slight recesstons, a leading broker
says, as the trend of the market seems
to be distinctly upward.

quarters regarding the dividend indi-

President William E. Corey, of the
United States Steel Corporation. who
recently returned from Europe, pre-
sided at the usual monthly meeting of
the heads of constituent companies of
the corporation, which is being held in
the company's offices here today. No
official statement concerning the con-
ference is likely to be given out, but
1t is Understood that general trade ON
ditions We're discussed. There is some
talk of an advance in the prices Of
steel products, but President Corey inc
the other conferees would not commit
themselves on that point.

LET us HAVE A FIREMENs DAY.

ZONE OF our fremen have returned from
~ trip TO Reading, Pa They took part IN
a celebration and review of Pennsylvania fire
men. 1t was gala occasion. Thousands OF peo-
pie filled Reading. They cane from all the
country roundabout and many were there from
distant places. OF course the Wilmington vis-
tors presented good appearance; that is, il we
may Judge by their splendid showing when they
left this city and when they returned.
In view Of the Reading demonstration ques-
ton suggests itself as to whether it would not
be a good idea to have public inspection and
review OF the fremen OF Wilmington every year.
We have what is called a semi-annual inspection
by City Council No one takes these inspections
seriously. They come as a matter Of custom
and habit, matter Of routine that has been iol-
lowed for years They entail some expense.
When the city is Flush the Councmen ride TO
the engine houses in carriages and are received
by the hrefien. When the Councilmen are IN
an economical frame of mind, they go by troll
lev cars and sometimes they have been known
to walk The firemen entertain the Councmen
and the Councilmen congratulate the fremen
To be sure there is not much expense attach
ed to these semi-annual proceedings, but 1t IS
something Why would it not be better to put
the money expended on these semi-annual al
fairs by both the firemen and the Councilmen into
a common fund, to be added to as the occasion
requires and have a regular public inspection OF
the FIRE companies and celebration to which
fremen from other cities could be invited?
The hremen, or at least, some companies have
turned out on various occasions like Iiallowe en-
but there has not been for some time real DEM
onstration by the hremen Whenever these
volunteer servants OF the city appear in public
the people are always glad to see them and give
them cordial greeting.
We imagine that but few OF the resi-
dents OF the city realize the extent and equip
ment OF our fre department. They hear of the
fremen asking Council for larger appropriations
and all that but they have not seen the entire
department on dress parade for so long that
they are inclined TO forget what we have in the
way Of fire fighters and the amount of money
necessary to keep the equipment in a state OF
high efficiency.
We skeAld think that the fremen would be
glad TO have such demonstration-to have a
hren1on's day in Wilmington, and we be-
leve it would meet with the approval of the
pcaple AT least, let us have one demonstration
ard parade by the hremen. If we had one, we
Selieve the city would want the annual fremen's
day to become permanent fixture.

cooK-pEARY CONTROVERSY.

+ RIENDS of DIR. Cook and supporters OF Com
\ mander Peary have at the drop of the
hat locked horns in what threatens to be pro-
longed controversy over the actual discoverer
of the North Pole. Peary will have advan-
tage because of his connection with the govern
ment and his years of record as an Arctic ex-
plorer. Unless Cook "makes good" beyond
doubt, his claims as the dscoverer OF the pole,
the weight of the administration at Washing
ton will go with Peary from the fact that Cook
has been considered as an outsider"
No matter how the question may be decided
there will always be partisans claiming the prior
honor for each man. Peary has challenged the
assertions of Cook and Cook has responded de-
caring willingness to submit the matter to
those most competent to Judge OF course, Cook
has behind him the opinions of the Danish Arctic
experts and there are said to be none more COM
petent in the world. 1t hardly seems possible
that they have been deceived into honoring the
Brooklyn explorer in the way they have done un-
less Cook was able to satisfy them of the truth
Of the story.
But the matter must rest Tor while IN the
speculative stage, and most people will wait be-
fore passing final Judgment for the opinion OF
learned men who should be competent to render
decision that would be generally accepted. I'm
fortunate it is that such controversy has de-
veoped, and the peculiar part of it is that two
Americans are rival claimants for the honor Tor
which explorers Of other nations as well as Amer
lea have been striving

HELP THIS AFFAIR.

1 n this end OF the State, we believe, it has been
thought that the proposed celebration at
Lewes in honor of the exploits OF Hudson and
DE Nres in Delaware was sort of Lewes or
Sussex county affair. True the Legislature put
the stamp OF approval of the State upon the pro-
lect, but the talk about il until very recently has
been conhned almost entirely to Lewes or at
least TO Sussex county. 1t seems now, at a rath-
er late day, determined effort is making to
arouse the interest OF the State in the matter
There is a need OF financial contributions and
unless such are forthcoming promptly the cele-
braton will have to be materially curtailed.
No doubt those accustomed to contribute to
such affairs will lend a helping hand in this in
tance 1t seems to us that the people directly
in charge Of the affair have been rather slow in
making their appeal. But at any rate the cee-
braton should not be permitted to fall
1t is stated that the minister representing the
Netherlands in the United States will be pres
ent at the celebration, and it has been suggested
that Mayor Spruance of this city, should assist
in his entertainment. The mayor has always eN-
pressed a Willingness and shown a decided in
clinaton to do his part in acting for the city and
he will no doubt fill the bill in this emergency.
The militia ought to be at Lewes, If possible as
well as the Delaware College cadets Doubt
less the men in this county who are familiar with
the labor entaed in such celebrations will lend
a helping hand, although if the reports that we
have heard from Lewes are correct there will
have to be some lively hustng if the celebration
IS 70 be what il should be.

CHANNEL SURVEY
PLEASES MOORE

Following an interview yesterday with
Major Herbert Deakyne. engineer in
charge of the Delaware river, Congress
man j. Hampton Moore, of Pennsyl-
vania expressed himself as pleased
with what he had learned concerning
the thirty five-foot channel survey.
Congressman Moore called upon
Major Deakyne especially with regard
to a report that a steamship drawing
twenty-four feet had recently had diff
nculty In getting out Of the dock at
Port Richmond. II appeared that this
part of the river had just been sur
veyed up TO Allegheny avenue for the
proposed thirty hve-foot channel. end
that there was reason to believe the
river had shoaled opposite Port Rich
mond above Kensington.
The major said that he had looked
into the matter and believed the COM
plaint 10 be well founded. He proposed
to send the dredge Delaware up TO
Port Richmond in order to dig out that
part of the river which comes under
the government jurisdiction.

RECORD RIDE TO THE BREAKwATER

HE Marathon dash OF Mr. William Andrew
. Hukill from this city 10 the Breakwater
behind team of spanking horses" which he
alleges are as good as any that ever travelled the
state road, is a new method of procedure by
which poet and historian intends to let the
people know about his wares. A versatile man
is Mr. Hukill, poet, prose writer historian, auct-
ioneer, and real estate dealer. His trip is novel
in one respect, for we do not believe that the
history of Delaware furnishes an example of an
other poet on such journey accompanied by
trumpeter who announces his approach. But no
doubt Mr.. Hukill is enjoying himself and is hav-
ing delightful trip Those who feared that the
horses might get beyond the control Of Mr..
Hukill have learned that no such catastrophe has
happened, for Mr. Huk in addition to his other
accomplishments, is a reinsman Of no little skill.
Many people nowadays go through the state
in automobiles, but Mr.. Hukill sticks to the
horse. 1t reminds him of the old stage coach
day of which he used 10 write Years ago var
ious persons made journeys through Delaware
driving teams as Mr. HulS is doing An emil
nent lawyer of Baltimore long since dead, every
year drove through Delaware behind pair of
fine horses as a vacation trip. If Mr.. Hukill
remembers him, as he probably does, he would
be cautious of his claims of great nags Some
Philadephans also went on such driving trips.
Mr. Hul1l in his driving is simply revving what
was once common. In fact he recalls the days
of coaching.
No doubt the Wilmingtonian will collect an
infinite amount of data during his trip. We
should think Mr. IIuldll would gather enough
information about the roads OF Delaware and
other matters to enable him to write a dozen
more volumes Of observations, and by this time
he has probably gathered enough dust to create
a new earth At any rate the towns that he has
visited will know that he has been there if the
trumpeter and Mr. Hulilps voice hold out.

Labor and It's Hosts.

Chester Times
While all days arc labor days in this
city, yet there is SPECIAL sign ficaLce for
Chester in the holiday that is specifically
set apart for the sons of toll. Labor has
made Chester. Until the Pionee. Nil Of
James Campbell began the hDm Of in-
dustry within sound OF tho old Court
House now the C ty Hall. Chester neither
expanded nor dreamed Of enlargng ita
borders. II began 10 grow with the inaugu-
ration Of that textile enterprise.
From the days OF James Campbell to
the present, capital and labor haze gone
hand in hand in this city adding TO It's
wealth, adding to its popu'at.on adding
to It's name beyond its borders. Artisans
in many crafts have reared mills, homes,
churches, school houses, stoies. paved
streets strung wires and pc. formed all
other prodigies that have created III S
hive OF the workingman; and all IN has
been done with fewer disagreements be-
tween tho investors and the work ngmeu
than can be expected IN the making OF
swamps, marshes and lots into city In
the country.
For more than century Chester was
moth ng but a little town that formed
the gathering place of spor,snen or the
market dispensary OF the shad and stur-
geon fishermen; but the magic wand Of
the capitalist and the worlSingman save II
the material resurrection. Aladdin's lamp
never performed such wonders as have
been wrought here In the transformation
Of acres of swamps. marshes and lots nto
city Of 10000 souls supported by great In
dustries.
So when labor went forth upon its Gee
bration yesterday It had behind 1t years
Of great achievement. From the man who
shapes the ponderous steam cyl nder to
the man who tramps the track, from the
artisan who weaves the wondrous fabric
OF our mills to the man who Digs the
sewer trench It was only right and just
that labor should have its holiday, cele-
brated in this instance beenath the sunlii
