A new phort story by Robert Barr, entitled 'The Wizard of Wall Street," In Everybody's Magazine for November, enters a new held, and has a peculiar interest. In its conception of o-irtain Wallstreet types It is peculiarly t.ne to life. Subjects of interest In this Issue of the women's magazine, the American Men. are "A Turkish Wedding." profusely illustrated: a complete story entitled "The Man in the Cloak;" an article on "How to Sit for One's Photograph," and numerous short household and toilet articles, besides a large number of suggestions for Christmas gifts In embroidery and lace.

London bookshops are entertainingly described, and there is a mall portrait and fcketch of Alice Drowr.. The Author's Calendar and Great Writer series are continued, while a special feature of this numler is tho latest announcements of forthcoming books. J. M. Barrie's great serial, "Tommy and Crizel," reaches a conclusion in the November Scribner's with a most unexpected situation. The wonderful skill with which Tommy has been iortrayed commands the greatest admiration for Barrie's ability as man of imagination and as a writer. The demand for the story in book form Is so large that an edition of 40,000 was printed before publication. Among the subjects of especial interest to art students treated In the Art Amateur for October are "Drawing for Reproduction." "The Arts of Metal." "Figure I'alntlng In Oil and Water Colors." !--rography for Interior Decoration." "The Latest Novelties in Needlework." "Leather Work and Keramic Decoration." The color plate is after a clever study by Walter Satcrless. entitled "An Old Salt." The latest issues of "Old South Leaflets," issued by the Old South Boston historical organization, are "The Romane of New England History," by Rufus Choate. and "Kossuth'a First Speech in Faneuil Hall.

The Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post claims to have solved the problem of publishing a weekly magazine of high quality at a low price. It has reached a weekly circulation of a quarter of a million, with new subscriptions coming in at the rate of a thousand a day. Again. Its ten new presses have just been installed in its new eight-story building, which, together with Its old facilities, gave It one of the largest and most complete periodical plants in the world.

ooo EX CLUS I VELY) Miss Jewett's country as completely as Mr. Hardy has made Wessex his own domain, is rich in provincial history. The fortunes of the exiled loyalists carry the scene of Miss Jewett's stirring romance to England and France. Among the articles In AInslee this month Is one entitled "Kwang Hsu and the Empress Dowager," which shows the Chinese Emperor and the Empress at short range. If. enables the reader to feel just what kind of man the Emperor is, and was written by Prof. I. T. Headland, late of Peking University.

In its way this article is a revelation. This number of the magazine is strong in fiction. The Engineering Magazine (New York) for. October contains articles, written by specialists In the several lines, on the following topics: "The World's Need of Coal and the United States' Supplies," "National Ideals the Prime Influence in Iron Trade Development," "Mining Methods In the Connellsville Coke Region," "Electric Power Distribution in Great Britain." "The use of Water Powers by Direct Air Compression," "Centralization of the Steam Condensing Plant." "Commercial Organization of the Machine Shop" and "The Thousand-mile Automobile Trials." The New England Magazine for October devotes considerable space to an Illustrated article on "The Homes and' Haunts of George Bancroft, the Historian." "Early Traffic on the Connecticut River" Is the theme of another interesting paper. Several good short stories are in the number. This magazine is. as its name indicates, especially devoted to the people and the things of New England, but as all the rest of the country has a particular interest In the people and things of that region the periodical lacks the provincial character that otherwise might belong to it. "The national Republican committee has a won m's department. The Democrats will also support women speakers in the field. The Prohibitionists and Populists have always encouraged women speakers in campaigns. Suffragists and anti-suffragists are alike donning McKinley and Bryan badges. Senator Hanna Is forced to talk expansion to an audience of voteless women. Mr. Bryan pleads that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed. Women are in politics, and no power can drive them out!" according to Carrie Chapman Catt. the president of the American Woman's Suffrage Association, who writes on "Woman's Place in Politics." in the current issue of Collier's Weekly. The Successful American (New York) occupies an exclusive field by supplying biographical data and portraits of American men of local and national prominence in every walk of life. New men are constantly coming to the front, and it becomes desirable to know something of their personality. Before they reach national fame they have had a celebrity within a narrower circle, and it is these rising men. as well as tlose who have reached distinction, with whom this magazine deals. Its flies make up an admirable biographical dictionary, with much more matter than Is contained in the ordinary work of that kind. It is intended especially for newspaper reference, but is of value to the general reader. The portraits are of the best. The novelette which opens the November number of the Smart Set bears the catchy title, "Mlsa Vandeleur, Pirate." It is written by Helen Milecete. and the story, which is clever, deals with English life and character. Julien Gordon has a readable article on "Society in Rome;" Frank Roe Batchelder's -story. "The Seating of Vester," gives graphic pen pictures of Washington life and character. Michael Glfford White has a good short story called "Things Azure and Argent." as has L. II. Bickford under the title "The Dilemma of Mr. Penwlck." Among the contributors of verse to this number are Clinton Scollard, William Hamilton Hayne, Theodosia Garrison. Carolyn Wells, Roy Farrell Greene, R, K. Munklttrick and many others. In McClure's Magazine for November will appear an article entitled 'The First Flight of Count Zeppelin's Air Ship," written by the experienced aeronaut, Eugene Wolf, who was Count Zeppelin's assistant In his experiments and companion in the trial flight. Tho article explains the construction of the air ship, and tells the story of its successful trial on July 2. The accompanying pictures are from photographs by the author. In a character sketch of Mr. Hanna in the same Isue William Allen White will offer a discriminating study of the Ohio senator. He will describe the many business successes of the senator, his gradual realization of the connection between business and politics, his achievements as a party leader, and hlsTelations with President McKinley. The article will be accompanied by a portrait drawn from life by Jay Hambldge. Amonfc the Publishers. The Macmillan Company is publishing a new and cheaper edition of "Elizabeth and Her German Garden." This edition contains all the text of the original edition, together with a photographic frontispiece showing the entrance to the garden. The Maemlllan Company Is publishing a new edition of "A Kentucky Cardinal" and "Aftermath" in one volume, with illustrations by Hugh Thompson. They will also Issue a special large-paper autograph edition of 100 copies, each of which will bo signed by the author. Harper & Brothers have just accepted a new novel by E. W. Townsend. author of "Chlmmie Fadden." It is probable that It will appear in one of the Harper publications before Its presentation in book form. It Is entitled "Incomes." and it is a Htory of New York life, dealing with society, and with the "other half." On the 2d of October, just two weeks after its publication by the Bowen-Mer-rlll Company, 40.0(10 copies of "Alice in Old Vincennes," Maurice Thompson's story of American life, had been sold. From Canada came one order of 10.0OO copies, a very unusual order from that colony, where the sale of hooks is necessarily limited. The publishers report that they are fending out a steady average of 3.5u0 copies a day! Charles Scribner's Sons have Just published "The American Slave Trade." by John R. Spears, with illustrations by Walter Appleton Clark: "Mooswa and Others of the Boundaries." by W. A. Frazer, with illustrations by Arthur Hemlng; "A Study of English and American Poets," by Prof J.

About three years ago. after his experience in the Graeco-Turklsh war, Te late Stephen Crane looked about him, as it were, for a subject in which he might combine his actual war experience with his imagination as revealed In "The Red Hadge of Courage." He bepran a Kerles of sketches entitled "Great Battles of the World." These include the most famous and decisive battle of history, and In them the author, while adhering faithfully to

historical facts, has shown a wonderful power of visualization and not a little of the element of military criticism. The volume is about to appear through the Llppincotts, with eight illustrations by Jchn Sloane. What should be an entertaining work will come from the press of the J. B. Llpplncott Company very soon under the title of "Rambles in Colonial Byways" In two volumes. The author is Rufus Rockwell Wilson, who tells of hl3 own personal rambles through famous places and byWays rich with colonial associations. His object is especially to contrast the old time with the present, showing the changes that have been wrought by the telegraph, railroad, etc. The volumes will be well illustrated with half-tone and photogravure reproductions of photographs.

MINISTER OF FINANCE GIVES GOOD ADVICE TO CITIES. Remarkable Letter by the 3Iarquls of Ilalancoart Sensible Comment of a. Leading; Journal. HAVANA, Oct. 21. Senor Cancio, secretary of finance, in the course of a pamphlet he has Just Issued on the financial condition of the municipalities of tho island, urges better business management, pointing out that a municipality should be as carefully conducted on its financial side as a business corporation. "Last year," he says, "the municipalities had almost absolute freedom in the matter of levying taxes and spending the funds. Nevertheless their aggregate receipts were some CO per cent, below the estimated expenditures, not including the cost of police, prisons, public instruction and charities, all of which were paid by the state. The municipalities expended $,720.823. They received in taxes !1,2K!,S31. leaving a deficit of nearly J2.500.000, which came out of tho state fund." In a few years, Senor Cancio believes, the municipalities can be made self-supporting, and that then large reductions will follow in tho duties on imported necessaries of life. Senor Salvador Cisneros y Betancourt, in a recent letter to the press of Porto Principe, said: "If the government of intervention does not keep its promises I have confidence that, should the time arrive when such a display would be necessary, the Cubans would show the same honesty, energy and valor as the Spaniards 'showed at the siege of Numancla, and resist until tho whole island was utterly ruined." El Diaro de La Marina, commenting on this, says: "We do not think that many will follow the advice of Senor Cisneros. Naturally, the inhabitants of Numancla fought to the death., as they had only to choose between being killed while fighting and being murdered. Fortunately, our conquerors are content to govern and administer the country in tho interest of civilizatlcn." General Wood nt the Capital. WASHINGTON, Oct. 21. Major General Leonard Wood, military Governor of Cuba, has arrived in Washington from New York, which place he reached yesterday. This afternoon General Wood called at tho White House and had a conference with the President. BACK FROM THE CONGO "V. S. CIIKUUV, OF CHICAGO, HAS ARRIVED IN" PARIS. Uns Spent Nearly Fonr Years iu Exploring Unknown Country Ills Part In the Fushoda Affair. CHICAGO, Oct. 21. Word was received here to-day of the arrival in Paris of the young African explorer and engineer, William Stamps Cherry, of Chicago. He comes direct from the Congo Free State. Since Mr. Cherry left Chicago, nearly four years ago, on his second trip, he has visited a considerable portion of the unknown lands in the Congo Free State and also the country north of the Congo, including the Kittu region. Mr. Cherry brings back considerable data of the country he has been traveling through which will be of immediate historical and tcientific interest. When England and Franco nearly went to war over the Fashoda affair Major Marchand, It will be remembered, had taken possession of that portion of the country on the Nile as an outlet on that river for the French possessions. Mr. Cherry at that time was the leader of a second expedition organized in the French Congo, which followed closely the one led by Marchand. Mr. Cherry, on this trip, took with him, besides supplies for the French, a steel river steamer, in sections, 'and on his arrival on the banks of the Nile supervised the steamer's reconstruction. This boat played an important part in that international episode, as the intention of France was to use the steamer in establishing French domination over the lands bordering the Nile. On his return to the Congo country from Fashoda Mr. Cherry devoted a portion of his time to the exploration of the hither unknown Kittu region lying to the north of the Congo Free Statu and tho French Congo country. The Kittu region is far removed from the portion from Central Africa with which Menry M. Stanley made the world so familiar. It is expected that Mr. Cherry will bring back considerable information of the social life ami industries of a people never before visited by a white man. The young Chicagoan also traveled over equatorial Africa to correct any misleading information about that country. He has taken a series of photographs of the various African tribes, and also added largely to the collection of curios secured on his first trip. Mr. Cherry was ac companied on his latest trip by Charles H. McCUntock. of Chicago. About a year afier their arrival in the French Congo Mr. McCUntock succumbed to African lever. Mr. Cherry then continued the trip alone. Stricken In the Pulpit. LEXINGTON. Ky., Oct. 21. While the Rev. D. A. Itartlett, who has been pastor o the First Presbyterian Church here for twenty-six years, was in the midst of prayer at the morning service, he suffered a stroke of paralysis, being rendered dumb and helpless.

NAVAL CONSTRUCTION

ADMIRAL IIICIIBOnX REPORTS OX THE WORK OF HIS BUREAU. Vast Amount of Activity nnd Immense Changes Döring: Ills Connection -frith the Department. ESTIMATES FOR NEXT YEAR NEARLY THIRTY BULLIONS NEEDED TO CARRY OUT HIS PLANS. Necessity for More Docking Facilities Submarine Boats and Superposed Turrets Other Details. WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-The report of the chief of the Bureau of Construction and Repair for the fiscal year 1SW-1300, which has Just been made public, is no exception to the rule which that bureau has established in recent years of making Its report complete and explicit. Special Interest attaches to the current report, as it la the last one to be submitted by Rear Admiral Ilicbborn, the present chief constructor, who, under the law, will retire on the 4th of March next. The period during which he has held this important post has seen greater changes in the navy than any other equal period in Its history, the chief constructor having begun, as he states, forty-five years ago as a government apprentice employed on the construction of the Merrlmao and Hartford. After speaking of the old wooden sloops of war, without protection or watertight subdivisions, and armed with broadsides of smooth bores, he says: "How many of those associated with the work of this period, looking into the future, would have believed that during the space represented by the active career of one man, wooden ships of war and sails as a means of propulsion would have passed; that steel should have become the material of construction; steam the one propelling power, and electricity a general agent, on shipboard; that the demands for protection, armament, speed and endurance would have forced the construction of battleships and armed cruisers of deep displacements of over 16,000 and 15,0o0 tons, and speeds of eighteen and twenty-two knots? Who of them would have believed that, within that time, the resources of this country could have been so developed that when such vessels of war are to be constructed every part going Into them is American production?" Passing to a brief mention of the more Important matters and measures with the adoption of which the Bureau of Construction and Repair has been Identified during Admiral Hichborn's incumbency, brief mention is made of the work of reconstruction of the historic Hartford and the efforts looking to the rehabilitation of the Constitution; the controversy In which the chief contsructor prevented useless expenditures of the public money for aluminum torpedo boats, after legislative authority for such construction had been specially sought and obtained: his consistent advocacy of sheathing; the Inclined turrets, known at one time as the Hlchborn turrets,' the principle of which has been adopted; his efforts in the direction of reduction of wood and the fireproofing of such as remained on board ship, and the good results accomplished; the encouragement of submarine vessels, and the important addition of an efficient vessel of this class to the navy which has resulted, are touched upon, as are also the effects of the care and study devoted to conveniences adding to the creature comforts of both officers and enlisted men. THE ESTIMATES. The report opens with his estimates, the principal Items being: For preservation of and repairs to the .vessels of the navy, $7,000,000; for repairs and improvements to navy yard plants, $920.000; the account of hulls and outfits of vessels and steam machinery heretofore authorized, 521.772,917. The chief constructor points out the disadvantages under which the naval station at Cavlte labors, and quotes a report from the naval constructor relative to a pro posed site at Olongapo, Sublg bay. He, withholds recommendation thereon until the question of a permanent naval station In the Philippines is definitely settled. Especial attention is placed on the need for additional dry docks. He says: "There are available at the present time on the east coast of the United States but nine government dry docks of all sizes, distributed among seven ports, and of these but one Is of sufficient size to take in the battleships. Tho docking facilities available are severely taxed under existing peace conditions. This disparity in time of war would be an extremely serious matter and might result in keeping a considerable portion of our naval strength ineffective at a critical time. It cannot be too strongly urged that the Increase in docking and repair facilities In an adequate ratio to the increase in the fleet is a necessary element in naval development, and it should be especially emphasized that In this most important matter war requirements and not peace requirements must always be kept in view. Some space Is devoted to the question of building vessels In the navy yards. He says: "There are at the present time, in view of the prosperous condition of the shipbuilding industry and the number of naval vessels building and appropriated for, sufficient work to permit the assignment of a portion of the building work to the government yards without there being a question of withdrawal of withholding, of necessary upport and assistance, the maintenance of which in a high state ot efficiency is unquestionably of national importance." lie points out that England is building in her navy yards sixteen tatleshlps and cruisers, France seventeen, Germany eight, Russia six and Italy three, in their governmeilt yards. Concerning the battery of battleships he. says: "The decision finally come to in the arrangement of the batteries of tha new battleships was a compromise between cpinions. The merits and demerits of the superimposed turret have been under discussion for some years. Tho completion of the battleships to which the system has been applied and the trials to which they have been subjected have demonstrated only the mechanical practicability of the sy.nthem of mounting. Jt has been recognized lrom the commencement of the discussion that there are grave disadvantages in this system of mounting. THE TURRET CONTROVERSY. "There is nothing In the experience with the two vessels recently completed tending either to show how they may be remcved, or to determine the extent of their effect on the vessels In which this system Is employed. The decision in the case of tho recent vessels has been reached in practically the same way as the decision relative to the first vessels to which the system was applied, and is based on the same presentation of arguments, pro and con. although the navy now possesses the means of determining practically at any rate a portion of the points at Issue." Admiral Hlchborn deals at some length with the questions of sheathing, and says: "It is a practical impossibility to prevent such fouling that in a Fhort time after docking the speed capabilities are cut down 25 per cent, to nearly 50 per cent., except by providing her with a woodsheathed and coppered bottom. The process is an old one. Its practicability and freedom from injurious effect upon the ship to which it is applied, even the element of saftcy which it adds, have been fully demonstrated. Much of the prejudice against it is born of incomplete information as to what is really involved, and !s of the same nature as hat which opposed

the Introduction of steam navigation and steel ships." In speaking of the steel for nsval vessels, it Is pointed out that nearly fifty million pounds of steel material have teen inspected, passed and" shipped during the year by the inspectors under the Bureau of Construction and Repairs, representing an increase of more than 100 per cent, m two years in the quantity of this material required. The vastness of the figures gives some idea of the extent and importance of the operations carried on under the bureau. Speaking of submarine boats the report states "The past year has brought to lruitlon the experimental work covering a considerable period and has demonstrated the practicability of the submarine boat. There can be little doubt that to the first, nations in the field with the new type will accrue not only the advantage which will come from the efficiency of this vessel and the additional saving in cost which will result from an early understanding of the new type and the modifications which its introduction will force In existing types." t OXLY A SHOUT DELAY.

Kentucky Will Get Awar to China To-3Iorrov or Wednesday. NEW YORK, Oct. 21. Capt. Colby M. Chester, of the battleship Kentucky, which started for China yesterday and returned to Tompklnsville, S. I., last night, said today that the ship would be able to start on its trip Tuesday or Wednesday. Machinists 6f the crew were engaged today in working the two thirteen-inch guns in the forward turret, trying to ascertain If the defect In the mechanism was so serious as to make necessary the sending of the big warship to Newport News, where she was built. Sailors of the Kentucky said that when the. battleship put to sea they were called to quarters, and the thirteen-inch guns were discharged. One of the big guns in the forward turret would not go back to place. The trouble was due to an imperfect valve. "The superimposed turret had nothing to do with our coming back to port," said Captain Chester. "There is no question as to the mechanical arrangements. In my judgment the turrets are much less liable to suffer disaster than if they were separate, like those carried by the Oregon, Massachusetts and vessels of that class." CHEAPER MANUFACTURES ALL CLASSES OF MADE GOODS ARE LOWER IX PRICE. On the Other Hand, AKrlcultural "Products Are Higher Noteworthy Changes In Nine 3Ionths. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, Oct. 21. A remarkable fall in the prices of manufactures in nearly all of the great classes Is shown by the official figures of the Treasury Bureau of Statistics, prepared for the current number of the Monthly Summary and by recent issues of Dun's and Bradstreet's. Comparing prices at the beginning of the present month with those at the beginning of the- present year, a fall of from 10 per cent, to 40 per cent, is shown. Tin plate shows a reduction of 24 per cent, on Oct. 1, as compared with Jan. 1 last; refined petroleum, 21 per cent.; common window glass, 12 per cent.; wire nails, 30 per cent.; barbed wire, 26 per cent.; Bessemer pig iron, 46 per cent.; steel rails, 26 per cent.; yellow pine lumber, 14 per cent.; sisal rope, 33 per cent.; manila rope, 32 per cent; leather, 10 'per cent.; shoes of various grades, from 7 per cent, to 10 per cent.; woolen dress goods of various grades, from 5 per cent, to 12 per cent. The prices of leading articles of manufacture and farm production are regularly feathered by the Bureau of Statistics for publication in its Monthly Summary of Commerce and Finance, and it is from this and from the publications of Bradstreet's, Dun's Review, The Iron Age, and the Cincinnati Price Current that the figures given herewith are obtained. While nearly all of the figures relating to manufactured articles show a reduction on Oct. 1, as compared with Jan. 1 of the current year, nearly all figures on "prices of farm products show an advance during the same time. Corn shows an advance from 20Vc a bushel Jan. 1 to 4SV&C Oct. 1; wheat, from 73.Sc a bushel Jan. 1 to 79.7c Oct. 1; barley, from 45c a bushel Jan. 1 to 59c Oct. 1; hogs, from $4.50 per 100 pounds Jan. 1 to $5.30 Oct. 1; cotton, from 7 ll-16c a pound Jan. 1 to 10.8c Oct. 1: cotton seed, from $12 a ton Jan. 1 to $17.!5 a ton Oct. 1. The following table shows the wholesalo prices of leading articles of manufacture, as shown by the official figures of the Bureau of Statistics, supplemented by reports from Bradstreet's, pun's Review, Tho Iron Age, and Price Current, for the opening week of October, 1900, compared with the opening week of January, 1900.
