DANGER AHEAD — ny, S—— PROPOSAL CLUBS. C. Williams, in the Chicago News Fleet Now In Magdalena Bay How Guns Fighting Bob”’ Brought the * sn Behind the Safely Harbor. Magdalena Bay, Lower California, via San Diego, Cal.--it is probable that the fleet April 5 and April 10 made at San Diego, Angeles, Santa Barbara and Cruz. At Los Angeles the fleet be divided into divisions of four ships each, to be anchored off Long Beach, San Pedro, Redondo, Venice and Santa Monica. the fleet first will steam in single line formation up the coast along t of the various ports and then divide. This would make a splendid naval pa- geant which might be witnessed by the people of those cities. Again, on departure, the fleet will probably form in single column and sail north, repeating the parade. A simultan- eous salute, such as" was given in some of the South American ports, may be fired, Target Practice. Target practice will occupy prob- ably about three weeks There will | be no battle practice, that being held | in the fall of the year. practice is limited to two ships, the Kansas and the Vermont, which have not yet fired all their guns in All will engage in record target prac. tice. There will be four ranges, ships firing at a time. The rafts forthe targets were finished and towed out to the grounds, the southeast of where the squadron was Three or four of the ships, inein the Georgia, Rhode Island, Kansas and Vermont, were on the ing out the lines and anchoring buoys for the attachment of the targets and for the guidance of the ships. The frames of the targets were towed out by a tug. Coal Problem Met.

This supply will be adequate to last until we arrive at cisco. This provides also for to be used in our target practice. All this amount of coal was provided, with the exception of the amounts taken on at Rio and Trinidad, from chartered eolliers. The Provisions, “The supply chip loads and the provisions for the fleet were econi- puted at the same time as the coal estimate, and submitted to the ‘de- partment. These have worked out to perfection Our fresh meat lasted until we reached Magdalena, where we still had 200,000 pounds left over. We had 1,090,000 pounds of fresh meat when we started. The bakeries on our ships have supplied us with from $00 to 1000 loaves of bread daily. We started with half a million pounds of potatoes, which supply was exhausted at Punta Are- nas. We jssued the last 4000 pounds there. From there to Callao the | Solé irrs Who Deserted Suse pected of Killing Lugger's Crew.

San Francisco.--As a demonstra- tion of the feeling against the graft prosecution and its methods, the au- dience at the Lyceum Theatre cheered former Mayor Schmitz as hs stalked up the aisle between the acts of "Rob- ert Emmet.” “Three cheers for Mayor Schmits,"” some one shouted, Nearly every per- son in the audience joined in the cheering. A hundred or more persons left their seats and shook hands with him, ~ COMMERCIAL COLUMN. Weekly Review of Trade and Latest Market Reports. Bradstreet's says: There is quite considerable im- provement in both the tone of gener- al distributive trade and in the vol- ume of business actually booked by jobbers. Withal, however, there is little change to be seen in the char- acter of the buying, which is still along very conservative lines, and while the volume of business doing is larger now than at any time since last fall, the shrinkage from a year ago is distinct and unmistakably large. Collections are still very back- ward; prices of staples tend lower, as for a long time past; the earning power of employes in many lines of industry {8s being curtailed by short time or wage reductions, and the threat is made that a refusal to ac- cept lower wages may result in a wide-spread suspension of activity in the coal trade. The demand for iron and steel shows little real expansion, aside from some lines like wire and similar goods; old material tends to ease, and many consuming plants are running on short time. The long standing curtailment of cotton goods products shows no signs of ending; in fact, a continued heavy cut in production is indicated, and notice has been given, in addition, of a 10 per cent. reduction in wages at some Eastern mills. Dry goods of various kinds, grocer- les, hardware, implements and paints are moving fairly well, Export trade in cotton goods does not gain much, and the outgo of farm products is not as large as in recently preceding months, Wheat, from the including flour, exports United States and Canada for the week aggregated 2,305,902 bushels, against 2,853,808 last week, 2,080,084 this week last year and «006,250 In 1902.
