MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
l.ornl and General Xmi of ship*
nnd Shipping.
The steamboat Santee arrived yesterday
from Augusta with a considerable quan
tity of naval stores and other freight.
The inland movement of freight is report
ed as fairly free, though this is probably
the dullest season of the year for these
yoats. Until merchants begin to receive
goods for their fall trade no large increase
• n the volume of steamboat business ,1s
.ooked for.
No special increase is observed in the
volume of business in sail tonnage. Long
voyage vessels are given very little' con
sideration, but owners of tonnage in pros
pect are not pressing matters, the ma
jority seeking to obtain some improve
ment upon last fixtures. West India ton
nage is in moderate’request for lumber
irent the South and general cargo hence,
,ind with light offerings the market re
tains a firm appearance. Coasting lum
ber freights are dull, but rates are steady.
Coal rates to the East are strong and
buoyant in the face of the scarcity of
small nnd medium vessels. Cotton, tim
ber and deal freights are unchanged.
The Norwegians will now build subma
rine boats. Admiral Borresen, chief of
he naval general staff, has demanded of
the Storthing the voting of a sum for the
construction of a submarine boat of the
Holland type, as the first of a flotilla of
six of the class, which are to be com
pleted within two years.
Two steamers for the United Fruit Com
pany are in course of construction at To
ledo. The first of the pair was to have
been completed the latter par: of July or
early in August, but the work has bean
delayed, and she will not be finished be
fore September. The names for the new
steamers have not yet been selected.
Many large wagers have been made on
the result of the 100-mile steamboat race
which is to take place tomorrow on Lake
Erie between two of the fastest and most
modern greythounds of the lakes. The ves
-•■|s which will contest for supremacy are
:he Cleveland and Buffalo liner City of
Erie and the Tashmoo of the Star Line
of Detroit.

valuation of about 1(4 billions of dollars.
The staying qualities of the situation
are strikingly evident from the compara
tive stability of prices. There is still
some realizing on speculative accounts,
and not a few conservative operators pre
fer to satisfy themselves as to the real
strength of the market by postponing
buying for a time, but selling readily
brings out buying with a promptness
which shows that the under-element of
Confidence is very strong.
The strong undertone of confidence is
the controlling factor; but no extravagant
"bull” movement is likely to be under
taken at present, because the trained op
erators nre willing to bide their time, and
feel satisfied that, in the fall, there will
be a great revival of the speculative
spirit, which will be inspired by a fine
season’s business and the harvesting of
crops, and then the country will have
had its confidence confirmed, in the new
scale of priEes, all the conditions thus
being then forthcoming for a return of the
boom to about the phase in which the May
panic found it. This, at least, appears to
be the conclusion to which a majority
of the speculative element is wending its
way.
WEEKLY MARKET REVIEW.
Stocks Again Active and Haoyant.
Uotlnn Variable—Wheat Firm.
The stock market showed a rapidly In
creasing rate of business during the past
week. The larger volume of business
was attended by a sharp upturn in prices.
The movement culminated with quite a
boom on Saturday, with a strong closing.
St. conspicuous with a jump of
hpa :(y Jo point - on Saturday to 172. Prac
tiealLrWin wljeie list of railroads is high
er, some prominent features being Union
Pacific, Atchisons, Wabash, Delaware
and Lackawanna and Southern roads.
There were also good advances in New
York tractions.
Iron and steel stocks developed marked
strength latterly, especiailly United
States Steel and Tennessee Coal. Tobacco
stocks continued active and made a fur
ther material advance. Otherwise the in
dustrials were generally quiet, and either
lower or without much change.
The’ present temper is very bullish, but
the severe lesson of the recent panic can
not be so soon forgotten, and it looks
very dangerous to buy on the top of these
sharp advances. Breaks will come, for
those who wait for them.
Cotton was very variable. July, under
manipulation, sold at 8.10 on Monday
and down to 7.70 on Wednesday; then
rallied again and closed at 7.89, a de
cline for the week' of 7 points. August
is about unchanged and new crop months
slightly higher.
The important news of the W’eek was
the bureau report on Friday, giving the
acreage increase at 8,3 per cent., and the
condition about a point below last year.
This condition is figured this yeas’ for
May 20, which is probably top early to
afford on estimate of condition of much
value. Crop accounts continue dubious;
in the eastern section particularly the
we.ather has been too cool and wet, and
the crqp is consequently backward. A
favorable June will bring it up ail right,
but a continuance of present conditions
will result in a repetition of last year's
experience.
Wheat acted firm all the week, and be
came quite strong latterly, closing at the
top. July 75(4, an advance of 2'j.c, The
causes were dry weather in the South
west and also in some parts of the spring
wheat region; there were in addition fur
ther reports of insect injury in Kansas.
In trtte main, however, leading authorities
seem agreed that prospects are for a
record -breaking crop; and while the mar
ket acts strong at the moment, prices
seem high enough, and may fall ■ off
sharply almost any day. ,

BOOK NOTICES.
Of all the Elizabeths t'hat have visited
us during the pash twelvemonth "Na.ugh
ty Elizabeth,” the leading story in the
June quarterly number of Tales from
Town Topics, is by far the most interest
ing. What she did and what came of
her doing it are graphically told in the
pages of this unique tale. Mark Living
ston, the author, writes with a pen some
times dipped in gall but with o diamond
point that scintillates through every line.
Elizabeth is a lovalble character, and the
adjective "Naughty” is but an ironical
echo of the sentiment of her bigoted de
tractors. Town

MagizineH,
It is a touching tale, as well as an
amusing one, that Josephine Daskam tells
with considerable vivacity in the opening
pages of St. Nicholas for June. ‘‘The Prod
igal Imp" is a boy who runs away from
home because he has nothing more excit
ing than kittens to keep; and the frontis
piece, picturing his return, will strike a
responsive chord in every mother's heart,
as well as in many children’s. “The Fire
man" is the hero of the current chapter,
by Cleveland Moffett, on "Careers of Dan
ger and Daring.” Charles F. Holder tells
of a ride in a home-made boat drawn by
a shark in a tide-water aquarium, and of
rides on ostriches and other “Queer
Steeds"; "The Gorgeous Giraffe" is cele
brated in rhymes by Carolyn Wells and
in pictures by Harrison Cady; and plants
and animals are the heroes and heroines
of Nature and Science for Y’oung Folks.
The object of a dozen pictures is “A Head

of sixteen, named Palenski, carries off a
gold badge, a silver one and a money
prize. The Century Company, Union

SHAMROCKS AND THEIR OWNER.
Shamrock If.
From the Baltimore Sun.
At Dumbarton, Scotland, on Saturday,
April 20, the Shamrock 11, designed by
G L. Watson, was successfully launched
before a large number of invited guests.
Lady Dufferln christened the challenger
of 1901 for the American c'up, saying;
‘‘Sucres to Shamrock IX."
Whistles blew, the crowd cheered, guns
were fired and the big yellow bowsprit
slid downward toward the river’s depth,
the hugh awning and dry goods box
foundation which encased the yacht as
a lighter sliding along too, and a few
minutes later a ringing cheer told that
the Shamrock II was afloat. A dinner to
the invited guests followed, at which
there was much speech-making.
Charles F. Herreshoff, Jr.,wrote of her:
"The Shamrock II is a boat that will
do credit to her owner and designer, but
in m.v opinion she won’t bring back the
cup. There Is no new thing in the form
of the Shamrock 11. The boat has the
same modified fin keel which has be
come familiar. She Is but a second
Meteor, probably drawn finer and flat
tened, with larger nnd more graceful ends
and n slacker bilge. Her lateral plane
is much out away and her fin is
placed farther aft. Her bottom plating.
Of , manganese bronze, looked smooth and
fair. But with all her finish and sweet
ness I do not think she will come up to
expectations.
’Her rig Is different from that of the
Shamrock I. There Is a comparatively
small fore triangle and a large mainsail.
Her profile being toward me, her low
freeboard offered a great contrast to the
Shamrock 1. Thi* is a marked feature, of
the Watson boats. Her stern is rather
narrow In comparison with other cup
lioats and not by any means like that
of the last Watson challenge, the Valky
rie 111. Her bow is much like the Amerl
can boats—round and sweet. Although
this Is no novelty in cup defenders, It
'is an entirely new feature In cup chal
lengers, which have been unlformily with
a sharp V section.”
Other points to be described are as
follows: The overhangs fore ond aft are
drawn out to exceptional length, and the
waterline underneath looks deceptively
short. Her fin is probably 30 feet long
and Is finished at the bottom with a pro
nounced rocker. The chief characteristic
■of the yacht’s design is the manner in
which her beam.ls thrown right forward,
almost into 4he ryes of the boat. The
forward leek lines are carried out full
•well into the overhang, and the drawing
in does not start until half way between
the mast and the stern. She is designed
to sail over rather than through the
water. ,
The Shamrock II is nearly 90 feet on
the water line and 123 feet over all; her"
draft I" 19 feet, her bowsprit Is 25 feet
outboard, and her sail area Is computed
to be more by 200 square feet than that
of the Columbia., which defeated the
first Shamrock.
The new challenger got Into a squall
on the first occasion of her appearance
in full racing trim. This was on May 9.
A backstay broke and a heavy block fell
to the deck within a foot of Sir Thomas
Llpton. The topsail yard broke and the
big topsail fell on the gaff, which was
made of steel plates. The gaff cYumbled
im and then collapsed.
The tint race with Shamrock I was

held May 13 on a triangular course of 20
miles, in which Shamrock I beat the
challenger by 5 minutes 5 seconds.
The next race was on May 20 over_a
triangular course similar to those of the
cup races, when the new boat won by
38 seconds.
The third race was held Tuesday of this
week on a leeward and windward course
of a total of 30 miles. Tile new craft beat
the old against the wind, but Shamrock
I ran ahead before the wind and finished
ip front.
Shamrock I.
The Shamrock I, designed by Fife ,was
defeated in 1899 in three straight races by
the American yacht Columbia. The race
were characterized by a remarkahly diffi
culty in securing a good sailing breeze.
The first race was on October 16, over
a 30-mile course, and was won by the
Columbia in 10 minutes 8 seconds, correct
ed time.
The second race was on October 17,
but after 25 minutes of sailing tile Sham
rock carried away her topmast and the
Columbia finished alone, winning by de
fault.
On October 20 the third and last r.jce
was sailed in a strong breeze, after many
postponements. It resulted in another
Columbia victory by 6 minutes 34 seconds,
corrected time.
Competent critics who saw the two
yachts said that the Columbia was the
more graceful in appearance and she was
picked to win by Americns, not only for
patriotic reasons but because they Judged
from appearances that she was the better
boat. Although having a water-line two
feet shorter than the Columbia all of
the Shamrock's spars, with the exception
of the topmast, were longer than those
of her American rival.
Following are the official measurements
of Shamrock I when racing the Columbia:
Length of water-line, 87. 69 feet; from
after end of main boom to forward ;>olnt
of measurement. 189,43; from fore slue
of foremost to forward point of measure
ment, 79.46 feet; extreme of spinnaker
boom, 79.46 feet; main gaff, G 7.64 feet;
height of upper side of main boom to
topsail halyard block, 128.28 feet; square
root of sail area, 116.15 feet; sailing
length, as per rule, 101.92 feet.

Here are a few facts about Sir Thomas
Johnstone Upton, the game sportsman
who Is trying to win the international
yachting championship from America:
He is about 58 years old.
Was born- in Glasgow, Scotland, af
Irish parents.
Ran away from home when he was 15
years old and went to New York, where
he made a ltttle money.
Went back to Glasgow and started a
small store; the business grew until It has
become one of the largest In the world,
under the name of Llpton, Limited, em
bracing tea raising, wholesale grocery
operations and meat packing; the profits
last year were $916,060.
Was knighted by Queen Victoria in
1898.
Had the Shamrock I built to contest
for the America’s cup; she was de
feated by the American yacht Columbia.
Has had the Shamrock II built to tpy
again for the cup. Now his new boat
is a wreck.
WROTH "DIXIE” IN 2(1 MINUTES.
•’Uncle Finn’’ Emmett Tells of the
llirtli of the Famous Melody.
From the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.
About five miles southeast of Frederlek
town, on the state road, leading from
Mount Vernon to Mansfield, stands a cozy
little cot. to which the casual iwsserby
would give bud passing notice; but In It
dwells one of America's most famous mu
sicians and song writers.
He Is Daniel Decatur Emmett, father of
negro minstrelsy, best known as the au
thor of "Dixie,” the famous ditty which
served as a rallying song in two of the
world's greatest wars.
"Uncle Dan,” as he is familiarly called
in this neighborhood, was born in Morris
township, this county, in 1815. Hi* pres
ent hermitage Is within a mile of his
birthplace.
He began his professional career as a
musician when a boy In his teens, trav
eling with a small circus. In his dally
performance it devolved on him to give
songs with banjo accompaniment. These
were of his own composition.
It was In 3839, in the 34th year of his
eventful life, that he wrote the soul
stirring melody which made him at once
famous.
Mr. Emmett was seen by the Commer
cial Tribune correspondent, and In regard
to the composition of "Dixie,” he said:
“ ’Dixie' was written like everything
else I ever did, because it had to be done.
I was with Bryant's Theater during 1859,
and one Saturday night when 1 was going
home Bryant said to me. ’ I want anew
“walk around” next week, Dan. Give us
something that the bands will play and
boys will whistle on the street.' The next
day it rained, and I was compelled to
stay Indoors, so I began to compose a
song.
"At Amt I could do nothing, but a sen
tence, ’I wish I was In Dixie,’ kept re
peating its. If in my mind. In despair I
set it down, and ‘Dixie’ was the result.
In twenty minutes the verses and music
were complete.
“ ’Dixie' is Just what Bryant wanted for
the next week. 'Vilen we reached New
York the song had atuaily preceded us
and the boys were whistling it on the
street*. It made a great hit at once, but
soon the 8011th claimed it, as ‘Dixie
1-and,’ of course, refers to the South.
"The first line I had often heard from
the lips of nqgrofs with our circus, who,
when caught In unseasonable weather In
the North, would always wish they were
In Dixie.”
The old man is very proud of his Justly
celebrated song, but prefers the life or a
country hermit to the rush and excite
ment of a city.
Although one of the oldest men In this
section, Mr. Emmett is still remarkably
strong, and says lie owes his health to a
tempt 1 ate life.
He is supported by money drawn week
ly from the Actors’ Fund.

ner of the street ftower-atand, where two
big bunches of roses with French names
stood next to some Russian violets. The
Italian woman hud on an American ging
ham gown and a Scotch plaid shawl;
there was a Syrian square of cheap cot
ton on her back hair.
Above these varied nationalities of at
tire she carried or her head a big broken
lea box, unmistakably Chinese, loot from
Who knows where. It was large box
with bright pretty paper on if, the brok
en part stuck up picturesquely like big
hat bow*.
The daughter of Naples threaded her
way through Ibe crowd at Brooklyn
bridge with that armboilr spoil held
lightly on her dark head with on hand,
utterly unconscious what a picture of In
ttiiiaUprial amity she presented.
QUASI CHUNG’S FUNERAL.
How His Headboard Was Erected
Over Ilia Feel.
From the Arizona Republican,
Quan Chung is dead and buried. He died
at Maricopa a few days ago and was
brought to Phoenix the next day and pre
pared for interment by an undertaker. He
had been employed by P. M. Williams for
some time, and was only sick a day or
two before his death, according to infor
mation furnished by his countrymen. His
funeral occurred yesterday under the au
spices of the Chinese Masonic lodge, an i
it was an ostentatious event, Quan was
about forty years old, and had s[>ent
about half his life in Arizona. He was
■therefore well known and popular among
his countrymen, and they did their best
to show for him proper respect in the ar
rangement of the funeral services.
The funeral took place early lit the af
ternoon, and after the ritualistic cere
monies in Chinatown the big procession
wended its way to 'the cemetery, preced
ed by tbo Chinese band, with beating
drums and various other kinds of so
called music. The Chinamen followed be
hind in their usual way, some on foot and
some in carriages and other vehicles.
Most of them had cigars, for of ail
places for a Chinaman to lay aside his
long handled pipe and indulge in the
white man’s cigar, the funeral is consid
ered the most appropriate. Besides, n
Chinaman is. above all things else, prac
tical, The proper place to enjoy a smoke
is when buggy riding, and a Chinaman
seldom goes buggy riding, except at a
funeral. Then, too, he realizes that his
friend could be no more dead, even if he
did make the occasion an outing event,
and his chances in the future life are liy
n<. means improved by the long faes and
solemn looks of tlie mourners. Hence the
Chlngman does not weep or assume a
vinegary countenance, but goes to work
practically to give the best that can be
afforded, and leaves with the dead prae
tlally everything he had in this world,
and as choice a lot o.f food as can be
scraped up for his spirit Journey.
In due lime the procession, which was
greatly augmented by curious Americans,
reached the cemetery, and the final ere
monies were performed. The casket was
lowered and a little dirt was thrown in,
when the high priest stopped the proceed
ings for another blessing. More dirt win
thrown in and the proceedings w’ere again
Stopped and a big can of well coookcd
food was deposited in the grave. It came
to be a question among the curious as
to whether the high priest or the under
taker was the master of ceremonies, but
the latter allowed the Celestial to have
his way. Finally the grave was nearly
filled and the undertaker took the head
board and placed it in position. The
Chjjiatnan stopped him and Insisted that
th? headboard be placed at the other end
of the grave.
"But," said the undertaker, "this is his
head."
"Oh. heller,' 1 said the Chlrfaman, “you
put ’em in' wrong end to."
"All right," said the undertaker, "I’ll
take him up and put him in the other
way."
“No,” said the high priest, “too late
now; I think make ’em no difference, put
’em mark here," indicating that the head
board should go at the foot, so the criti
cal Chinese visitor would never know but
that the deceased had been properly laid
away, and it was so done.

Indians, Neg-roes and 4 'll Ilia men
Seem lo Head the I.lst,
From the Boston Ti nnseript.
"You may talk about.your city circus
goers," said an old circus man, but the
Indian, the wild, untutored red man of
the plains, lias got them all beaten to
death. There's no circus-goer In the world
ilk.' the North American aliorl'gine. He
will travel (aether, endure more priva
tions and skimp himself harder to get the
price of admission than any other human
being In the world. YVlmt’s more, I be
lieve 'he really enjoys the circus better
than the negro, though he doesn't make
any fuss over It. The neigro, as every cir
cus man knows, will sell the family cook
stove to get the money to see the ele
phant, but tile Indian will barter off Ills
papoose, ilia squaw, or even his most
cherished possession, his horse, to get n
ticket. Alter the negro comes the China
man. The Mexicans, too, are not slow in
responding (o the toot cwf the calliope. The
laziest greaser on the Texas border, who
never paid e debt In his fife, bobs up
promptly on circus day with his 50 rents,
though noibo.lv knows where he got It.
But 'the Indian Is the greatest circus
fiend of all.
“In the West our circus Is known
among the Indians as the 'heap big broih
eis' show.’ u Is the only circus that at
tract,* thj. rc.d, jnan, and he waits for Its
yearly, as confidently as he
wa|t£ the ri;tyrn of spring. In Missoula,
Motß., .oac o l our regular stands, fully
one-half of tiff audiences Is made up of
Indians. They come from as far as 200
miles on horseback, and even on foot,
starting on their long journeys days be
fore the circus date and arriving prompt
ly on the morning of the day of the exhi
bition.
On circus day It is a case of every
man for himself with the Indians. Tile
lord of the teppee brings enough trinkets
in the shape of moccasins and bows and
arrows to peddle around town, and in
this way gets money for his own admis
sion ticket. His squaw brings willow bas
kets and has to hustle for her own ticket.
They generally come In couples astride of
a pony, and If the market is overcrowded
with Indian relic*, they will sell the
nag.”
