look for tug minis to-day. *B\V CRAFT COMIXG TO JOIN THE TOWBOAT FLEET. If She Makes* the Trip Dovrn in the Bxpectrd Time She will Beach the Harbor by Soon-Complete De scription of the Vessel, Showing Her Power, Design and Interior pinlsh—Mnde 15.11 Knots During Trial Trip—Matter* of Interest From the River Front. The new Savannah tug Abram Minis is expeted to-day from Camden, N. J., whfre she ha? just been turned out by the Dialogues. With all of the descriptions 0 f the tug, she must be seen to form an idea of her power and proportions. With out hindrance it was expected she would make the trip down in fifty hours, which would put her in the harbor about noon. Referring to the completion of the tug, the Nautical Gazette gives the following description of her: The dimensions of the Abram Minis are ns foiows: Length over all, 138 feet; team. 25 feet; and depth, 14 feet. The hull is of the best strengthened to stand the unusual pow’er by deep build double 1 t> ; ,r center keelson and bilge stringers. I nder the boiler and engines’ heavy belt frames are fitted. The frames themselves ar* also heavier and closer together than in the average boat. This makes her far in excess of the requirements of the classification societies. The engine foun dation is stiffened by double reverse irames and extra heavy floors; aDo by intercostal longitudinal intercostal? be tween floors, covered over tolid from side to side with 22-pound steel fplaie the fu 1 length of the engines and thrust bearing. The engine is of the triple expansion type, the cylinders being of the following glaes: High pressure 17 inches; interme diate pressure, 24 inches; and low pres sure.. 41 inches, by a common stroke of 30 inches. The engine has an open /ront, with steel columns, and inverted Y or cplit columns on the back, making it ac e*t*ible In all parts, and yet stiff and strong. The condenser is cylindrical, cast separate, and the live steam heater is supplied by the exhaust frem the auxil iaries. The circulating pump is 8 inches centrifugal, driven by twin engines with opposite crankt?. The air pump is of vertical type, with twin air and single steam cylinders. The feed pump is of the duplex cio-s --compound type. The wrecking and fire pump is of the horizontal direct-acting style. witha capacity of 400 gallons per minute. The sanitary and circulating pump for guides is duplex. All pumps ex cept the circulating pump are of the George F. Biake Manufacturing Com pany’s pattern, the circulating pump be ing especially made by the builders for this boat. The blower engine and fan is of the Buffalo Forge Company’s make. The electric plant consists of a Lundel generator, driven by an automatic cut-off rase engine of 10 horse-power. The sys tem is the ere and incandescent electric system, lighting the boat throughout. There is a IC.O.'K) candle-power Rushmore projector placed on the foremast ond con trolled in the pilot Steam and hand combined steerer of the Williamson Brothers’ make is supplied, and there is a powerful capstan forward and ateani gipsv aft. both of the latter of the Amer ican Ship Windlass Company’s pattern. The boiler* is of the Scotch type, wdth horizontal steam drum 15 feet in diameter by Hi feet long. There are four corrugat ed furnaces, each 39 feet by 7 feet 6 inches long, with a separate combustion chamber for each pair. There is a separator in main steam pipe and section of 8 inch sup ply pipe, with closed fire room and forced draft. The blower is calculated to fur nish steam for the engine developing 1.3X1 horse power. On the trial trip steam was kept above 170 pounds without forced draft with the throttle wide open, the engines turning a three-blade propeller 8 feet 4 inches in diameter and 15 fe?t ex treme pitch at the rate of 147 revolutions per minute. The engines worked smooth ly and did not have a drop of water on the journals. They made the best time for a single knot In the last half hour of the flip. The coal capacity is 110 tons in the bunkers, which with the after com partment carrying 40 tons and 50 tons on deck, will give her a maximum of 1G 2-32s da\s’ steaming, developing 6CO ho*.ee power or 12 tons per day. On the trial trip at a 15-knot gait she burned at the rate of 20 tons per day. The sail plan consists of fore nnd main masts, with topmasts, to carry six sails of 200 yards in all. The jib topsail, fore sail and main top staysail of No. 8 can vas; the jib mainstay®;*il and mainsail of No. 4 canvas. The draft of the Minis is as follows: Aft, maximum, 14 feet, min imum 9 feet 3 Inches; forward maximum 10 feet, minimum 6 feet 3 inches. The deck-house is of steel, with large air ports. The pilo/ house is of white pine, with cherry finish inside, and plate glass windows bent to a circle in front. The Interior is arranged with one berth and two large seat-lookers on either side, with a heater and chart, table in center. There is a 10-inch Richie steering compass in pilot house, and Hand’s patent compen sating standard binnacle with oil and electric fixtures and Alidade attachment, on top of pilot house. A hand rail extends all around the top of pilot house and up per deck. The main house is divided into dining room forward, finished in cherry, paneled; galley, finished in white bass wood; two staterooms amidships for en gineers and mates, finished In walnut and y?h, engine room paneled in ash nnd black walnut; and aft of engine room, owenr’s cabin, finished in cherry, with lockers and washroom adjoining. The furniture in this latter includes a couch uholstered in mohair plush, a folding bed of mahogany, upholstered in inohair plueh, made by the Leonard £ofa Red Company, making a handsome appearance and in keeping with thr elegant surroundings and outfit. The mattresses und cushions are of Ostermoor Elastic Kelt patent, which is. In addition an auxiliary life-saving appliance, en. ,:fv water proof, as well as being dean nnd comfortable. The berth nnd window eurtains are of pilk brocatelle, and the cushions are upholstered in frieza plush. The bark James G. Pendleton, which hs been tied up at the Gordon wharf, wii] begin taking on a cargo of naval *to>r? to-day. For several days past the ha? been holding her present posi tion. and her commander would not move h*r when called ui*>n recently by the *'bor master to do so, owing to question of fight to her berth which came up. rnAMcngcr* by Steninslil|>. 1 as.-f-ngers by steamship Kansas City, * few York for Savannah, July 20— Mrs. IV. jl’ frfempsey.

Retted IVellng In Stocks. The cotton market was nervous and un settled all the week. Prices fluctuated violently and capriciously. Early in the week the tone was heavy, and on Tues day August sold down to 8.85 c, a decline of 27 points. By Wednesday a rapid re covery carried the price to 9.52 c, but on Friday 9.07 c was reached. A stronger market ruled# at the close, the final quo tation for August being 9.26 c, a gain of 14 points. New crop months fluctuated less violently, and closed some 6 points up, October 8.39 c. There were various rumors concerning the manipulation of the ohl-crop months; at one time it would be said that the deal was on the point of settlement and at another that new* cliques were form ing. The high price of spot cotton is at tracting scattering lots from all over the country, the amount coming in sight for the week being 61.000 bales, against 37,000 bales last year. It is a question whe4her a good part of this year’s movement is not being counted twice—first in Southern consumption and now as port receipts. From the present rate of the movement, it looks as if <he*crop will come close to 9,500,000 bales, unless some corrections should be made for double counting. Crop accounts continue 'to improve, but are spotted- the main complaint now is about grass, which in some sections ap pears to be outgrowing the cotton. T T pon the whole, however, *he weather during July has been highly favorable, and the August bureau report ought to show a substantial goin. Unless prospects un dergo another change for the worse, it is not likely that present prices can be sustained much longer, especially for new crop deliveries. In stocks the feeling was bettor, wdth an active speculation in Sugar furnish ing the backbone. Sugar advanced about 12 points, nnd held most of it. Tobacco and the Steel stocks w*ere also more ac tive and stronger. Railroads were less in demand, but are generally improve on better crop reports from wheat, corn and <-o*ton. A more hopeful feeling wdth re gard., to the state of affairs in China has also helped the market. It looks like the active stocks should now be bought on declines. Wheat closed slightly higher, but corn decline-! som'e 5c on the appearance of long-needed rains in the Southwest, which savo<4 the crop. Provisions were quite weak early, bu< hater turned decidedly strong nnd more than recovered. The out look (avors higher prices. William T. Williams. VISIBLE SI ITLY OF COTTON.

BANKER CLEWS' VIEWS. The Finntif-inl Ontlook 4s Seen From Wall Street. Now York, .July 21. The London money, market has botn in an unsettled state eve since the beginning of the Transvaal war. Germany and Russia have lately passing through the throes of an “indus trial'’ ranic, France alone of the conti nental Powers exhibiting at present any financial strength. Rut comparatively high discount rates at all European c*n tcie. Paris included, would art unfavo a bly ufon the plac'ng of any necessary war loans th re. The Un id Sta*e? alono seem, through extraordinarily prosper ous conditions, in position to furnish a portion of the needed funds in cas * of emergency. The stork market, while relatively dull, show'll unexpected strength. Strong in side support and dividend rumors were the c hief explanations, t’nion Pacific, Bal timore and Ohio, Illinois Central, Mis souri Pacific and •Sugar being the chief features in this eonnertion. There is also a strong undertone to thf* market, based apparently upon the expectation of trade revival in the coming fall and a satisfac tory reauli *f the elections. As yet. how ever, few are bold enough to buy stocks on a large scale, on the prospect of an other victory for the sound money cau**?; the vicissitudes of a campaign naturally operating to check speculation until the worst that may happen is almost *>osi tively known. Surprises are always pos sible in a presidential campaign, and the coming one is not Jikely to prove an ex ception. The Chinese difficulties exerted little effect, because it is well understood that the sending of whatever American soldiers to China may be necesasry will not be a serious expenditure to this gov ernment. The present rate of surplus rev enue would permit our carrying on mili tary operations'of considerable magnitude without any embarrassment whatever to our finances. China, on the other hand, Is not in any position to conduct a prolonged war, having but very limited military or financial resources. She m;y keep ,up a long sustained rebellion; but that would be less costly to others than a long and savagely conducted war. There is the jossibillty of the other Powers getting into difficulties, and what the effect w'ould then he upon the European money markets it ie impossible to say. The United States, however, are in the strongest condition financtaly, and would be best able and least called upon to meet such contingen cies, HOOK NOTICES. “Mark Hamm's Moral Cranks and Oth ers/’ by “Mill.” George F.

One writer speaking of the book says: “The doctrinaire wlji not miss this hook nor w ill the student of social and po litical reforms. The victim of the mod ern “promoter/'** "t he investor, may find some consolation in learning how and by whom he was victimized. Asa contribu tion to the literature of the day it will re ceive some measujre of the attention that was bestowed upon Henry I>. Lloyd's “Wealth Against Commonwealth.” though not necessarily for the same reason. Its usefulness will be appreciated by every citizen who engages in the discussion of the issues of this presidential campaign.” An intervie w with Mayor Carter H. H ir risiou tells of Chicago’s experience with muoi ipal ownership, and the story is re cited of the unsuccessful efforts of Gov. Pingree to force a municipal railroad up on the unwilling city of Detroit. A pen pic ture of the Governor is- not the least at tractive feature of this story. The char acteristics of the apostles of this “new re ligion,” os Prof. Kidd has styled this well developed social evolution In America, are alo enterrainlngly lectured by this clever political observer. “An American Commoner; the Life and Times of Richard Parks Bland, a Study of the Lth Quarter of the Nhu’- • eenth Century, witn an Introduction by William Jennings Bryan, and personal reminiscences of Mm.

This book is not merely a biog raphy. but a hiutory of the political periol In which Mr. Bland was n conspicuous figure. The coinage and tariff legisla tion from 1873, when Bland entered Congress, until his death In 1899. is dis cussed at considerable length, and many public men and important events figure In page* The truit question is elabor ately treattd from the viewpoint of the author, who is a witter of vigorous and picturesque English, and w-ho claims the work is “a study of the times and of the meaning of twenty-five years of American historv—no more h partisan book than is Benton's “Thirty Years.” He also adds: “It is - a study, not a diatribe; an analy sis, r.ot a campaign document; a searching in quiry into the great forces of American progress and reaction, not a mere eulogy. 1 1 gives Bland’s great speeches and a com* history of coinage legislation since 1873 in his own words. It is based on an impartial study of material contributed by leading public men of both parties, and on the searching investigation of the whole movement of Ihe last quarter of the century. It deals with the effect of the Civil War In America, us it,extended fiom Mr. Biand's district to the Rank of England and Hie palace of the Queen. It investigates Missouri history. Southern history. Western history, Eastern history and American history as part of the his tory of the world.

Rand, McNally & Com pany, publishers. New York. Cloth sl.2'. This i® essentially a human nature story, depicting in a striking way human affec tions and passions, virtues and viees, and the wisdom and unwisdom of its people in dealing with the responsibilities of life. Eustace Gaunt, one of the leading char acters and o journalist, is a young mar ried man who has cooled a little in lover like attentions to his good wife. He is rushed into a pretty warm variety of pi i tonie love for a young damsel whom he meets at the World’s Fair, Chicago. Elaine Gaunt, the Fading female char acter in the cast, its “The Woman That’s Good." During her husband's absence in \\ ashington she finds one of Imogen Leal's gushing love-letters to him*. Aided .by hei father she has Gaunt sha<lowed and gels a full account of his doings. The story of the divorce is very pa thetic—showing how Elaine loved husband ns she had always done, but believing him guilty in the last degree, could not bring herself to continue as his wife. The description of Gaunt’s life after the divorce is an excelient piece of work. “Uncle Sam Abroad,” by J. E. Conner, 4 Illustrated by Clyde J. N< wrnan, and pub lished by Rand, * Cos., New \ ork. Cloth $1.25. Foreign military at tachfs who wiine sand the fighting around Santiago de Cuba in 189S were much im pressed by what they were phasfd to call the ’’initiative” of the American pri vat * soldiers. The rank and file seemed to und‘ rstand the objective and the means of reaching it as well us did thtlr of ficers; and when wounds and death de prlved them of the immediate leading of officers they continued of thtir own “ini tiative” to press the fighting intelligently each man for himself. Every one knows that this quality in the American soldier is due to his *e'f respect. spirit of manly independence an 1 geneia! iob lligeriee. As much a.s the bol ider of any other nationality he is a ma chine on the field of battle, but he is a think ng machine which can run itse’f intelligently after the engineer has b*n disabled. This capability of Intelligent, individual initiative in business pursuit*, in lhe ex ercise of political functions, in tHe public service at home and abroad, as well as on th* field* of war. is a prime factor iry the make-up of a valuable citizen. In “Uncle Sam Abroad” Mr. Conner has furnished the young men cf the coun try—and their seniors as well—a much needed, comprehensive, Instructive and In teresting ir.fitment of the consular and d.| lomatic service of the United States*. Indeed, it is in every way complete enough to serve as a text-book in an In stitution that wo lack, as yet—-a training school for thoro who wou'd 9 rve the country as consuls and diplomat*.

The August Atlantic is pre-eminently a fiction number, containing six brilliant stories besides the concluding chapters of Mr. Howell’s delightful serial, “A Diffi cult Case;” bu< the more solid topics of fhe day are equally well provided for. In fiction. Sarah Orne Jewett's “The For eigner,” will delight all readers. AIH Jewett is facile prlnceps In her chosen field of authorship, and this story Is of her best. In charm of style, picturesque description, keen yet delicate characteri zation, and the humor that Is akin to tears, “The Foreigner” easily touches high-water mark. Alice Brown’s “A Sea Change” is equally characteristic in vein, and notable as a sketch of modern New England life. Mbs Jewett’s and Miss Brown’s stories both come laden with the flavor of the sea. By way of contrast, Maximilian Foster’s “Dungarvan Whoop er” is a lively hunting sketch of inland forests, glens anil rivers. Fanny K. John son’s “The Pathway Round" and Caro line F. Brown’s “Angels and Men” touch tho poetical and mystical side of and death, while G. D. Wetherbee’s “The Circle of Death” Is a weird and thrilling Western tragedy, Rollin Lyndc* Hartt de scribes lowa and the Jowans. The ar ticle i* replete with Mr. Hartt’a well known humor. President Hadley of Yale University discuse instructively the cry ing need of better "Political Education.” The foregoing and other articles make up an unusually interesting number. Hough ton. Mifflin Hi Cos., 11 East Seventeenth street, New York. The “New Lipplncott” for August brings out William 1-e Queux’s latest novel complete In this number. “The Sign of the Seven Sins” is a story of love and mystery in high life on the French Ri viera. The “Palace of Delight” at Monte Carlo, that spot of Irresistible fascination, is conspicuous in the earlier pages. The strong plot compels intense interest until the clearing up of mysteries at Pari*. Altogether the tale is so exhilarating that it is sure to find favor wdth summer readers everywhere. Among the remark ably good short stories of the month, *>f which there are four. Heumns MacManu* has contributed a Jolly Irish sketch which is a guaranteed cure for the “blues.” It is called "Two Cockneys and a Conspira tor." “The Way Benny Looked at It,” by Reginald Banfleld Chase, anew writer of marked originality, Is n story of a wo man’s love for her husband which in its unselfishness is Idyllic. “Femme Dis pose,’’ by E. F. Benson, the author of “Dodo/’ is a most Ingenious character study. An English nobleman’s infatua tion for “a woman of no imi>orranoe,” which I*'interrupted by the death of tho young man’s father and followed by an unexpected denouement, makes a storv well worth reading. “2620 Oxford Place,” by Katharine H. Brown, another newly "arrived” author. Is a lively little ro mance connected with divorce, but In so hopeful a way that if Is singularly re freshing. The scene Is in Washington.
