City Attorney Alfred

Alfred, to all intents and purposes, had never heard of street railway franchise and could not advise the peo- pie as to whether they should get a chance to voice an opinion on the sub ject, and neither would he give req son as to why they should not be con suited in matter of such vital inter est to the entire community.
 "That is something that l would not care to talk about" was his answer to the query.

COPPER LOWER IN LONDON AND SEVERAL NEW RECORDS IN
 GRAIN MARKETS.

NEW YORK, March 3.--It was a day of small things in the stock market and inc meagre business came almost entire B from tho class of professional oper. ators who make livelihood by the daily fluctuations in prices. Professions as unloaded their light holdings with some precipitancy. While this selling was light, the demand was even lighter, the result rather of violent breaks in prices.
 Selling from foreign sources was prompted by sudden turn for the worse by news of the relations between Austria and Seryia.
 Clearing of the outlook in the Bal kans during the day was reported too late to effect recovery of foreign mar kc,s, but there was buying of stocks here late in the day on the assumption that orders will come from abroad to- morrow to buy back stocks sold for that account today. The defeat in con. grcss of the ship subsidy caused & slump in Pacific Mail, as that stock had lifted aggressively on the strength of assertions that the bill had good pros pect of passage.
 Disappointment was felt at the re- fusal of the New York service commis- sion to modify the terms of permission for the issuance of Erie bonds. The in Cident widened in its effects as a symptom of the growing restrictions to which corporations are subjected. The feeling of distrust is intensified by the interstate commerce commission ruling u the Spokane rate case.

SOLD FUR s220,500 LIDED WITH THE REPUBLIC,
 CHANGES HANDS

NEW YORK, March 3.--Thc Italian and sank the Republic, of the White Star Line, off Nantucket Shoals light ship in January last, has been sold at public auction by United States Com, missioner Alexander, who was appoint, cd trustee in the action brought in the United States district court by the Italiano Societa di Navigazione, the owners.
 The sale took place at pier 6, Brook lyn, where the ship has been lying since she was brought into port after the collision. She was sold in the same con. dition that the collision left her in-- that is, with the bow smashed back to the bulkhead.
 The opening bid for the boat was $1l0.000, and this increased by jumps of $50 to $500 until $220,450 was reached. The last bid is thought to have been made by an agent of the owners. The next bid was $220,500, and the boat went at that price to M. A. Mosle, who is said to live in Phila- delphia.
 The money received from the sale and the $20,000 freight and passage money now in the hands. of Commis- sioner Alexander making total of $240,500, is all that can be recovered against the owners of the Florida in case the various damage suits growing out of the collision go against her The Florida is a steel vessel of 5,0l7 tons gross and 3,099.S5 tons net, and was built in 1905. She has double bot toms and eight compartments. Her en- zines are of triple expansion, with nom inal horsepower of 525.l6, and indicat- ed horsepower of 3,33O.

Admiral Dewey Takes Exception 10
M. landis' Remarks.
HEARTILY IN FAVOR OF SUBSIDY
Defending the Navy With Character
istic viaor. the Admiral Admits
Necessity For steps Toward Build
ina Up the Merchant Marine.
lBy Associated Press.O

WASHINGTON. ID. c.. Oct. de
Tending, with characteristic vlgor, the
American navy. Admiral George
Dewey today asserted that not only Is
our navy not bluff" but that he is
confident that il would give good
account of itself should war ever
come.
The admiral's remarks were called
forth BY a statement attributed TO
former Representative Lands. of In
diana, who, in IA recent speech at GIN
cinnati, Ohio. i'm advocating ship sub
sidy is reported to have said that
those Americans who are Informed
consider your navy a bluff. The ex-
preston was characterized by Ad-
miral Dewey as an unfortunate one
Declaring that he saw no war clouds
gathering on the horizon. Admiral
Dewey discussed several phases of the
navy
He expressed himself as heartily in
favor of ship subsidy legislation anu
made strong plea for the continued
upbuildng of the navy
Word Subsidy Unfortunate.
Referring to the remarks attributed
to Mr. Lands. Admiral Dewey said
that, of course. what the former
meant was that the navy would be
comparatively useless in time of war
without necessary auxiliaries. The
admiral expressed the belief that ship
subsidy legislation could be secured
we're it not for the use of the word
subsidy which he said many people
do not like because they thought II
meant 70 give something for nothing
But the American navy is not quite
so helpless as one might imagine
from Mr. Landis's remarks said the
admiral
I'VE have fifteen Golfers and sew
eral transports already in the service.
of course, these would not be enough
in time of war and | hope that we will
continue to add to that number. II
we were to have a war we could pur-
chase as many ships as We might need.
Ii would. of course, be great deal
better if we had them already
The admiral declared that the Unit
ed states needed merchant marine
not only for the value il might
possess as furnishing auxiliaries to the
navy, but to carry the American flag
in the market OF the world.
But" said Admiral Dewey. this
will De no war And so long as we
go ahead steadily and moderately in
adding TO our navy, replacing the
older ships with the most modern
type. thus keeping our navy abreas.

say, like Br Lands. that other ma
