Steamer Dresden, 200 Miles at Sea,
Gets View of Cape Eeary Lights.
Baltimore. May 6. Officers of the
Korth U-rman Lloyd steamer Dresden,
from EVtmen, report' that a remarkable
mirage was seen at sea w hile apprrach
ing the Maryland coast. When 200 miles
east of the Maryland shore the officer of
the deck and the lookouts made out the
powerful lights on Ca;e Henry, Cape
Charles lightship, and Hog Island light.
This was at 9 o'clock at night and the
beacons burned brightly on the horizon.
According to the calculations of the
ehla's officers the lights were not due to
be seen for 16 hours later, and they
were startled to see them, distinctly off
the bow.
At first it was feared that the ship's
position" was in error or that the ves
pers navigating instruments were out of
ord'-r. These were found to be correct
and strong night marine glasses Wrre
leveled at the lights. It was then discov
ered that two light houses and a light
ship, both inverted and above the lights
could be made cut in the blackness. The
passengers crowded on deck to see the
unusual sight.

-Princess Chimay's Rigo Makes a
Bargain With Her Folks
London. May 6. Princess Chimay with
TUgo. will Have London for Carlsbad,
returning here in June to stay until
September. Negotiations for Rigo's ap
pearance on the stage, either in London
or America, are all off owing to an ar
rangement concluded the other day be
fore Consul General Osborne.
"I had an offt-r to play in private
fiouses in New York," said Rigo, "at a
salary of $l.t.0 for each appearance.
This meant $100,000 for the season for
certain, but out of d"f-renoe fur the
wishes of my wife's family I have de
clined all engagements now and forever.
We signed an agreement to this effect
before the consul, I myself never to
appear at a public performance airam.
This means a bir loss to me. but the
family was very generous, making set
tlements to compensate for the loss.
ftre anxious now to- avoid ail publicity
and to live -quietly in the future. I love
to play the violin, but will play only in
private in the future."
Rigo was the hero of a romantic duel
episode, according to a story he told
when discussing his future plans. It
happened in Cairo some time ago. He
paid a German doctor named Rudolph

princess, which came to Rigo's ears. The

latter promptly sought out the doctor
and demanded sa.tisfac.tion within 24
hours. When Rigo's seconds went to see
the doctor they found he had left Cairo
for Alexandria. A week later he met
adversary in Cairo. Tha encounter was
stormy. The doctor reached for his pis
tol, but Rigo struck the doctor over the
knuckles with his cane, forcing him to
drop his revolver. Then he slashed him
several times over the face. The sequel
to the encounter was an investigation
before the Hungarian and German con
suls. "I told them I struck him," said Riga,
"because he refused to fight after insult
ing my wife. A dozen witnesses of the
encounter corroborated my story. The
result was a nominal fine of 30 francs
imposed upon me. On leaving: the court
I publicly stated I would thrash him in
the street wherever I met him. Rudoiph
decided not to take an chances of
further thrashings, so he left immediate
ly for Alexandria, where he still remain

TORPEDO BOAT BUILT.
About Twenty Will Soon Ba Turned
Over to Government.
New York, Slay 6. Twenty torpedo
boat destroyers and torpedo boats will
be turned over to the government by
contractors within the next few months,
says a special from Washington to the
Herald. The destroyer recatur will be
ready for her preliminary trial in June
and the destroyer Dale a month later.
The Rainbridge, the Barry and the
Chauncey have been advanced to about
the same stage. The Lawrence and the
MacDoneiugh are about completed. The
Perry has been tried, but failed to make
her speed, and her screws will be aJter
ed. The Paul Jones and the Preble are
well along toward completion, but their
trials will be delayed that their sterns
may be remodelled. The torpedo boats
Strincham and Goldsbrotigh have had
preliminary trials but on account of ac
cidents will have to again go over the
orTieial course. The Railey has success
fully passed her preliminary trial. The
Shubrick will soon be delivered to trio
government. The Harney, the Riddle,
the Riakeley, the De Long and the
O'Brien, it is expected, will have their
trials this summer.
Final arrangements for the course of
the naval war college in Newport will
be made this week. Rear Admiral
Orowmnshield. chief of the bureau cf

To Unite Detroit Suburban Roads.
Detroit, Mich., May 6. The Detroit
United Railway company has purchased
the Detroit & Northwestern suburban
trolley line which runs between Detroit
and Plymouth, a distance of about 30
miles. The price is said to be $800,000.
The owners will not receive cash but an
issue of 4 per cent bonds In exchange
for their stock. It is said to be the pur
pose of the Detroit United Railway com
pany to ultimately purchase all the su

reorganize as the Detroit United and
Suburban railways.
No New Stamps For Tobacco.
Washington, May 6. Commissioner of
Internal Revenue Yerkes has decided
that as the rate of tax on tobacco and
snuff will not be changed by the act of
March 2, 1901, no new stamps for tobac
co and snuff will be issued. The stamps
now in use will be sold by collectors on
and after July 1, at a discount of 20 per
cent. As tobacco and snuff stamps in
the hands of manufacturers June 30. may
not be redeemed for the purpose of al

secure the rebate on such stamps only
by affixing them to packages of to
bacco or snuff prior to July 1 and

CLERKS RISK ALL,
Pledge Wages For Months Ahead
to Put Up Margins.
Expect to Get Rich by Following
in Wake of Phillips.
Chicago, May 6. Ten thousand clerks
in Chicago are speculating in stocks
and grain. Most of them are of the
class employed in La Salle street and
the adjacent neighborhood, where the
epidemic spreads easily from employer
to employe. Thousands of clerks have
beco.ne so absorbed in the craze that
they have bargained their wages for
weeks ahead to loan "sharks" and are
playing chance with the yet unearned
salaries. Some of them are winning,
others are not; still others will be on
the wrong side of the ledger when the
final accounting comes.
Books in the offices of the "loan
sharks" of the city contain an echo of
the era of speculation. Mortgaging
their salaries and raising money on
every possible possession, clerks in the
offices of brokers, banks, and the va
rious great industrial companies are
seeking to reap small fortunes. Some
have tied up their salaries for six
months, and have put up margins with
the money thus secured. Their theory
is that salary mortgages can easily be
paid with "one single stroke of good
luck, even if they have to pay 10 per
cent, a month."
Board of Trade clerks are chiefly in
corn, for to them it is a simpler science
than stocks, and many of them are
seeking to be second Phillipses. Then,
in the banks and in the stock brokers'
offices, the speculative bent is, of
course, for Burlington. Union Pacific,
and other stocks which have had sky
rocket tendencies.
"There are 10.000 clerks who are play
ing the stock and grain markets," said
a La Salle street broker. "Many of
them have 'tied up' their salaries on the
10 per cent, a month plan to raise money
for margins. These fellows have seen
men with money tell of fortunes by ju
dicious investments, and they are lay
ing plans to follow the same course.
Chicago's brokerage world is honey
combed with the dealings of clerks and
'financial agents.' They won't have sal
aries for months if their schemes fail
to work out and yield a profit. In the
event of failure the constable and the
justice court will have an inning, and
there may be numerous sad stories to
relate in the end. This game of playing
stocks and grain is a serious matter,
but clerks in the brokers' offices refuse
to see the risk.
"This is a rich man's market. The
man who deals on 'shoestring' margins
may end in the bottom of the lake. One
day's fluctuations are likely to wipe out
the accounts of hundreds of these young
men. Then those who have merely
pledged their salaries will have a hard
enough time getting on their feet.
Those who have borrowed from rela
tives and friends will suffer humiliation
and some who may have used funds
not their own in the hope of repaying
by their winnings will face open prison
doors."
As a result of this rage for specula
tion, business is excellent for the money
loaners.
"The clerks." said one money loaner
"are of the class who see speculation
and know something of its inns and
outs. They are looking for big win
nings and consequently have not been
particular in the security offered
making every effort to get every cent
with which to try to do something big
in the markets. They have received
money on the usual contracts of 10 per
cent, interest each month, and if any
slump in the market comes there will
be many reputations and positions
which will have to be protected. Spec
ulation has drawn every possible
prophet into its trail. I guess the loan
men will be all right which ever way
the market goes. No, I never was a
prophet on markets and I have nothing
to sav. I leave that prediction to Rus
sell Sage. We'll get our money, all
rhrht."
Among the clerks thmselves there is
no denial that the speculation fever is
epidemic.
"Every one of the boys who can raise
the coin is trying to 'rag' off a bunch
of money," said a Board of Trade clerk.
"We are following the trail of George
Phillips chiefly. You see. corn can be
grabbed tip on margins, and a few hun
dred dollars will allow a good range
for the market. The stock exchange is
a rich man's market, to our eyes.
Charles Head Smith may grind out
$100,000 and John Dupee grab up $1,
080.000. but. we know that there was
money put into the mill to get thl coin
out. Consequently, corn is a better
game to play. Ten per cent, a month?
Why. sure: the fellows are tied up
every way. Rut just wait until things
pay out. We'll all go into the money
loaning business ourselves."
There are small fortunes In "mar
gins" being swept off almost every dav,
but the commission men have little
comment to make on that score. In one
big office alonei there are more than 400
clerks engaged in speculation.
"It's a gambler's game." said a clerk
from this office. "We make our pools
and then we tro after biar game accord
ing to 'tins' from the office. There pre
just 433 fellows over there who aspire
to fame in this way, and such a mar
ket as this offers opportunity for trial.
The monev? O. we cet that in every
way possible. We are willing to tak
our chance, though. Big winnings?
There have been none thus far."
GROW OUR COFFEE.
All the United States Requires Bais
ed in ETew Possessions.
New York. Mav That all the coffee
consumed in the United States can be
grown in the islands which have been ac
quired since the outbreak of the Soanish.
war. is the conclusion reached by the bu
reau of statistics of the treasury depart
ment at Washington, after a careful
study of the coffee producing capabilities
of the new possessions.
The islands in which coffee can be suc
cessfully' trrown are Hawaii. Porto Rico
and the' Philippines. Porto Rican coffee,
in the market where it is well known, is
regarded as the best in the world, and it
is the conclusion of the bureau of statis
tics that when coffee plantations have
been developed in the Philippines and
Hawaii, all of the one million dollars or
more which the United States sends
abroad every week for coffee can be ex
pended among the inhabitants of our own
islands. Porto Ricnn coffee has long com
manded hieh prices in European markets,
though it has been comparatively little
krotvn in the United States.
Developments of coffee culture in Ha
waii during the last few years have been
verv satisfactorv in the quality produced
and the prices realized. In the Philippines
the product is of high grade.
The fact that the United States is by
far the greatest coffee consuming country
and is stendilv increasing her consump
tion, suggests 'that American capital and
energv mav turn their attention to the
promising gold now opened in the islands.
American coffee importations during the
nine months enrtinsr with March. 191,
amounted to 17.344.0V pounds, with a
value of $45 213.0v.. a sum nearl y $5.000. 009
in excess of the value of the coffee im
ports of the same months of the preced
ing fiscal vear. indlcatinsr that for the full
fiscai veai the total value, of the coffee
imported into the United States will be
about $0,KJ,iu.
