In Black Sea Evolutions- Kambala Was

Efforts to Raise Boat to Save

st. Petersburg, June 1.-THE subma-
rine torpedo boat Kambala Of the Rus
sian navy has been sunk in a storm in
the Black Sea, while the boat was I'M
dergoing trials.
Twenty members Of her crew, includ-
ing the captain, first lieutenant and the
chief engineer, persisted.
Dispatches received here from Sehas-
topol BY Emperor Nicholas and the min
lister OF marine give few details Of the
sinking The battleshp squadron, with
out lights, was stealing in toward the
harbor when the vessels were located, q
few miles ont by the Kimbala shortly
before midnight.
One submarine was running half sub
merged. Il passed half cable length
TO port of the leading ship, the Pamte-
Lennon, and theoretically put this vessel
out Of action with a torpedo After
passing the first battleship the Kambala
suddenly sweryed through the line and
the Rostislav caught her squarely with
her ram, The submarine sunk at once.
In addition TO Lieutenant Aquilonof,
three sailors who were on deck were
saved by the crew OF the Rostislav

delivery. AZ the elevator man takes
real grain into his bins, he at once sells
an equivalent amount OF futures The
natural position Of the owner Of an
article Is bullish; his interest lies in
having the price advance. Hedging
or reselling for future delivery, changes
that natural position Of the owner Of
the wheat 1t makes him merely neu-
trail, or, not undergraduates he may
see a profit in buying back his futures
at a lower price-it may make him bear
ish. But the growers interest in the
wheat ceases when he parts with II to
tho elevator man, and, If the latter were
not able to protect himself against a
possible fall IN price by hedging he
would demand a larger margin Of profit
for carrying the wheat, and his price
TO the grower would be correspondingly
less.
In fact, speculation in grain, as We
have developed it, Is a kind Of faro game
tackled on to q legitimate trade. As It
largely preys upon itself, 50 II tends,
in the long run, simply TO cancel itself.
II the purely gambling transactions
which make 80 considerable a part OF
the total were eliminated, probably tho
mean price Of grain, through a series
Of years, would be unaffected. That
speculation tends to make prices stable
is not proved. Wheat, corn. and oRps
show as great 4 price range during tho
last eighteen years, as hay and cattle.
On the contrary, speculation does often
make most violent fluctuations in pricei
and these violent fluctuations, due to
market manipulation, are very seldom
TO the advantage Of the producer. They
may not, In series Of years, affect the
mean price; but they do usually put the
price highest when the producer has
least to sell, and in that respect they
affect him adversely.

The Postcard Crop.

All the violets have faded,
Other flowers have passed away;

Spots where sunbeams used to play
But the tourist tribe, light-hearted,

Never has been known to fail.

Chances at a northern shore,
Sidelights on a thousand topics

The other evening, nettled because
Senator LaFollette. who often lectures
his fellow senators upon their duties
to their constituents. had failed to put
III an appearances at the night session,
Penrose remarked that he was tired Of
hearing the excuse that the senator
from Wisconsin was detained from at-
tendance because of illness, He said
that the excuse was absurd. and that
III pressed upon the point would show it
to be subterfuge to cover up LaFol-

dents Of yellow journals and the editors
of uplift magazines
Next day, LaFollette, after explaining
that his absence was due solely to ex-
haustion consequent upon three-hour
speech on one of the hottest afternoons
OF the session, and that be had not
claimed that he was III, remarked that
lie would not think Of telling where the
senator from Pennsylvania spends his
time when away from the Senate, for
fear OF transgressing the rules Of that
body,
Penrose had nothing to say. And now
his colleagues are wondering what La
Fsllette meant.
