committee ON naval affairs, probably
tomorrow. The committee already has
tentatively added to the House bill a
$500, 900 appropriation for the estab-
lshment of coal and other fuel depots
for warships. This is considered by the
navy department as absolutely neees-
sary at this time to carry out its COM
prehensive scheme of providing stores
of coal at such strategic points as
Pearl Harbor, Caballo island, Tiburon,
Narragansett bay, Guantanamo, Bos-

The next project to be taken up will
be to provide for a store of coal of l0o,
600 tons at the Norfolk navy yard,
which is TO be made one of the most
important coal depots on the Atlantic
coast.
The appropriation for the Pearl Har-

the committee so as to make the total

establish the grade OF admiral at $12,=

have an admiral's rank and pay and
the grade of vice admiral, with $4,000

command of each of those fleets. The
admirals and vice admirals would be
selected from among the active rear
admirals. Democratic senators may
oppose this plan.

New York, June There was a fur
ther growth of the tendency to duIlness
and heaViness In last weeks stock
market speculations. The effect of the
Presidential campaign in hating the
progress of general business up to this
time is reported to be slight, and this
fact is an influence in keeping up a
certain confidence.
spirit of caution is manifest still
in the mercantile demands for future
stock. Volume of new orders for May
is reported to be less than that of
April, although still sufficient to more
than replace the tonnage going out of
the mills of the principal producers.
The expiration on July of contracts
on which renewal will have to be at
higher prices is expected to keep up
the rate of specifications. A further
rise in copper shows the nearest allied
metal trade keeping pace with this
condition.
The fact that the railroads continue
to order equipment is considered
good sign. The necessities growing out
of a lohg period of retrenchment ex-
plain this buying rather than any man

There are no further reports of

great anxiety. as all dams and booms

hope that the crest of the rise has
been reached and that the water will

all through the upper reaches, and the
breaking of any important dam would
result in heavy loss to the lumbermen

provides for Il charge equal to ten
