The tenth an- thoritie m the navies of the ' u and which has just been published in London, puts the United States second among the navali powers of the world, Vwith England first. Speaking of the United States navy, Mr. Janes, in his preface, says "The extraordinary high figures for 1 7nited States ships afford food for con s Vlerable thought, for both in ships, in li, feht powered guns or impervious to vi tal injury at long range, the United St. ites fleet is superior to any other navy in the world. Even by the inclusion of 40- calibre 12-inch types extinct so far as new ships are concerned, the United tin corresponding lead in ' invulnerabit itv outside 7,000 yards is considerably increased." For the first time the navies of Mex ico an l Peru are included in the book this ycr, Mexico has eight vessels in commission, and two small cruisers,-and eight 'torpedo boats authorized. Tho rtertxvian navy consists of two small cruWvs' ami several gunboats. CUIUS ADOPT PDRE FOOD BILL JOHN BURNS.1 SPONSOR FOR MEAS URE, SAYS RULES ABROAD ARE LAX. London, Eng.; Aug. Yt.

The week in the stock market was the most sensational in some yens. Prices went lower, for many active issues, than in the panic of May, 190i'., and the shrinkage in values of some stocks ranged from $15, 000,000 to $25 j 100,000. The causes w hieh made for the decline were fear engendered by threats of fur ther radical legislation by the federal and various state governments, the threatened monry stringency and indubi table evidence of recession in various branches of busniess. Added to this was the failure of a large New England man ufacturing concern and rumors of simi. lar embarrassment elsewhere. The local situa ion was further com plicated by the advance in the discount rate of the Bank of England, and the generally unsettledsconditions at the val rkms continental money centers. The strike of the teh-graph operators added to the all-found feeling of uneasi ness, though it was not very disturb ing in its etfeet upwii business. The week closed with price' of many speculative issues lower by IS to .10 per cent, than in the early part of the month. . STAY ON THE FARMS MARYLAND'S EXPERIMENT PROVES TO BE AN ABSOLUTE FAILURE. 4 Baltimore, Md,, Aug. V. After a fair test the Maryland state bureau of im migration finds its efforts to .supply the fanners of tliis state with laborers by assisting immigration unsatisfac tory. August F. Trappe, secretary of the bu reau, spent three months of last winter in Europe and succeeded in bringing 265 laborers here and placing them on Mary laud farms. It is found, however, that they do not remain long in the positions given them, and the bureau seems una ble to trace them for any length of time after they leave their first place of em ployment. The fact that farm laborers do not receive even moderately high pay in this state is held to be in large measure re sponsible for the failure of the plan. PAHGELS POST SUGSESTIONS TO BE OBGED (Continued from First Page.) at a small expense, and a very consid erable saving of time." A portion of tho resolution adopted at the Jamestown convention of the state organization is here reproduced: "Bn it resolved, that, realizing the ex isting deficit, in the postoffice depart ment, incident to the conducting ot the rural delivery system, that we urge the establishment of a parcel post delivery, in connection ; with the rural free de livery service, permitting the delivery of parcels from the several towns, from which rural carriers start, upon tneir routes at reasonable rates, the same to be fixed by an act of congress. "Be it further resolved, that a copy of these resolutions be sent to the Re tail Merchants Association of North Carolina, and that they be requested to have drawn a law.the same to be sub mitted to congress, providing for the establishment of a parcel delivery upon the rural delivery routes ot all states, such nareels to be delivered only from the point from which carrier is seat, and upon his route only, at given rates." DICK URGES MORE PAY FOR JEN ON SHORE AND SEA (Continued From First Page.) a close student of the army for many years, and that he was convinced that it rs. absolutely necessary to grant an increase in pay, especially for the en listed men, if the army is to be main tained at anything like its press at standard. - As an example of the Impossibilities of Betting recruits or reenlWtments at the present rate of pay, he stated that a few weeks ago he saw a company of Infantry on a practice march. There were but six enlisted men present with the company, the senator said be be. lieved that congress and the people would not sanction the continuance of laws that made such a condition possible. If all the faots were nrooerlv vt sented, the bill would be passed without opposition, and he said that ha weuld d all he eould to that and. as More at Work in Chicago, Chicago, III., Aug. 17.The Western Union today added twnty-,nve operators to its working ioi?e in tha main oJoe in Chicago.

Government officials ar interested in a story that comes from Honolulu, to the effect that Laysan Island has disappeared from the surface of the ocean, according to a report brought to that place by the cap- lain oi me scnooner l-ukc i. uistm. No official confirmation of the r.p' has reached Washington, and in the i sence of such advices the inclinatiou not to accept as correct the story of the island's disappearance. "It frequently happens," said an offi cial of the government today, "that skippers are wrong in reckoning longi tude and latitude. A notable instance of this occurred not a great while ago, when the captain of a vessel reported to the navy department that some sound ings which had been made by the hydro graphic office -.were '--wrong, and that where a great depth of water had been reported, there was only three or four feet of water. The matter was taken up promptly and an investigation made which disclosed the fact that the state ments made by the captain of tlu ves sel as to the "amount of water at the place he took the soundings was con cerned, were correct, but he was entire ly off in his reckonings. The same may be the case with the captain of the 01 seu, who reported the disappearance of Laysan Island." Laysan Island is about 70 miles wert by northwest of the Hawaiian Islands. The survey charts indicate that it is more or less grass green, and that in various places the land reaches a lati tude of fifty-five feet above sea level, ft is inhabited and the charts chow there is a small landing dock there. GATE GITY BOYS AS 1 IT (Continued from First Page.) exposition for , a visit ot personal in spection. The brigade as reporting for duty, bad a roster of alnrnt 2,200 enlisted men, including infantry,- artillery . and the naval reserves, with officers numbering in the neighborhood of 200. For the first four day of the encampment, Cap tain Hobgood acted as major of the Third battalion and put the men through a thorough course of military instruction, aided by Lieutenants Kuy kendall and Shaw in addition to the of ficers from the other companies, and, with his immediate command on the right of the line, putting the men through a course of manual and tactics that might have been wearing, as one of the men raid yesterday, but was most assuredly instructive and profitable. Inspeaking of the trip, Captain Hob good said last evening that while the camp may not have been so instrumental toward end increase of efficiency a. wouM have been the case at the regular camp of instruction, that the results were in tho main very satisfactory, es pecially as an opportunity wn given tho men to watch the upvements observe the discipline of the regulars, so ttiat they were in this respect put upon their metal and given a standard on whiih (o base their own ideas of what rnnituts a soldier, even though he wears the uniform for only a short time and is not often called out for activ" duty. "The trip did a great deal of good for each officer and man in the company and I am certain the boys in mv company are glad they were called out on such a pluasnnt duty and yet were enabled to accomplish so much toward advanc ing their efficiencey as an organization. The true military feeling was given a strong chance to grow while we were In Mmp and among other things accom plished I am able to say that the power of individual initiative was not entirely On Friday evening the officers of the brigade met and organized the National fiuard Association of North Carolina, the f.-bjeet being the promotion of the wel fare and advancing of interest of the State militia. These officials of tho new organization were elected: President, .1. w. .Norwood, of Waynesville; 'vice presidents, Capt. F. P. Hobcood. Jr.. of Greensboro, and W, F. Robertson, Wil minjrton: ceretary and treasurer, Capt. M. L. Barker, Salisbury j and assistant secretary, Limit. Paschal, of the Naval fteserves at Wjlmimrton. A meeting of ihe orcraniaation Will be held on some date in September yet to 1? determined. end it Is regarded as probable that this meeting will be called to meet In Greens boro. The trin home by the Guards was not accomplished without considerable diffi culty and delay. The call for breaking camp was issued at 4-30 p. m. of Friday and in half an hour the men were at the dock prepared to embark on th steamer running between tins ground and Pinners' Point, the terminus of the Southern. The run tQ the Point required less than an hour, but it .was eight o'clock before the company was en trained and three hours later when the conductor called "U aboard." Many stops not on the seTieduie were made between the Point and Greensboro and the time of arrival here was farther in the rear of the clock than mot nf the boys considered, exactly desirable by those who had been taught th les son of promptness in , military move ment. Baron FMouaH 4 Rothschild, of the firm of Rothseltllfl' BtWhem, bankers, wf Pnrii, have been deenrated with th cross of the Legion of Honor by the French government ! Toklo, Aug. 17. Private dispatches I from Fekin forecast a gloomy future owing to the unsettled state of politics there, i caused by the absence of a rul ing mind powerful enough to cope with the situation. The Empress Dowager, who heretofore has been sole mistress of affairs, is now in a critical state of health. Her policy so far has been to play one minister against another in or der to prevent the concentration of pow er in any single hand. ,' Inasmuch as the Empress is incapaci tated by an incurable disease and as the historical animosity of the Manchus and Mandarins is increasing, the prevailing state of affairs in the Pekin government constitutes a baffling problem. Whatever compromise may be effected between the progressive Yuan Shi Kaa and the conservative Chang Tu Tung, there appears lit t lo hope of realizing the complete stability of Pekin author ity so imperatively necessary to the in tegrity of the Empire and the peaco of the far east in general. While a fresh guarantee of peace has appeared in the form of the Russian Japanese entente, peace will be con stantly subject to disturbance until some decided measures are taken to re establish order in Pekin politics. This, however, is deemed impossiblj of accomplishment .so long ns a Manchu and a Mandarin survive. THHEE LEftP TO DEATH WOMAN AND TWO GIRLS JUMP FROM CAR THEY THOUGHT WAS ABOUT TO BE WRECKED. Mauch Chunk, Pa., Aug. 17. One woman was killed and two other per sons were fatally . injured this afternoon by jumping from a trolley car that was in danger of colliding with another on Flag Stall mountain near here. The trolley car left licit; late this afternoon for Flag Staff with more than thirty persons on board. Half way up tho mountain it met n construction car coming down. The passengers fearing a collision became panic stricken and half dozen of them jumped to the high sloping embankment. The embankment is so steep that the passengers rolled back to the car track. The woman and the two girls fell under the wheels of the car. The others who jumped were not injured. The cars did not collide. SAYS SMOKING AND THEATE T ENGLISH CLERGYMAN JOLTS CON FERENCE OF CHRISTIAN ;- WORKERS. East Northfield, Mass., Aug. 17. Dr. J. C. Morgan, of London, created a mild sensation yesterday at the conference of the Christian workers from all parts of the country when he intimated that it was perfeotly allowable for one to smoke or go to the theater provided they believed God had told them that it was right, where they asked Hiin. On all of the circulars issued by the workers smoking has been prohibited, and following the announcement of Doc tor Morgan's theory, several of the min isters present signified their intention of discontinuing their seats whenever he was scheduled to speak.

Admission is made today' that the city of New York is hard pressed to pay its bills, due to the present tight money market and a consequent inability to dispose of city bonds, .- ... j, ':; As was feared, the action of contrac tors who had taken bonds in payment for work done by them, and who sub sequently sold them in the bond market below par, has caused a slump in the sale of city bonds directly to the pub lic, a method devised by the comptroller when the financial institutions failed to absorb the issues. The result is that one of the richest cities in the world is poor, so far as ready cash is concerned, for the first .! I . i - I ' ' li nine in me memory oi UTiug man. it is stated that there is about $1,000,000 on hand to meet nearly $4,000,000 of pressing obligations. Contractors who have long waited for their money threaten to quit work on public improvements, and the situation in this respect is said to be serious. Another result of the shortage in cash is that new contracts, except for abso lutely necessary work, are held up pend ing an easement in the situation. Un less tho bonds find a market, however, there can' be no relief until , October, when the year's taxes are due. J.P. FINANCIER FORCED TO ORDER . SIX OF PEDIGREED CATTLE :.:.,'. - KILLED.
