A tfcandnl such as official Washington has Bel dam known and one tliat has no dupll cato In Mio history of tho United Stat es navy threatened to bo exposed hero today has the result of tho hurried re tirement of Hear Adimiral E. H. Har ry, commander of tho Pacific fleet, following the Ming of personal charg es against him by his officers. The fact that Barry applied for retirement by wire and succeeded In Raining ac tion from tho soero tary of tho navy and President Taft, before tho ar rival hero of charges mailed from San Francisco, la not expected to end the nffalr. .When President Taft ordered Har ry retired last woek, nothing was known hero of tho circumstances of the case, further than tho fact that Barry, having nerved forty-flvo years, had urgontly asked for Immediate re tirement. Barry Js still an officer of tho navy, though retired, and it Is believed hero that hla accusers, will not bo satisfied with tho situation. Hints of a possible court-martial as a result of efforts of Carry's accuscra to fordo him en tirely out of tho navy, wore heard Jiero today.

One report reaching Washington to day Is that Barry explained to tho of ficers of tho West Virginia that a boy who had been hurt In a .football gamo was detailed at his door and that ho had Inquired about how ho felt. Barry la quoted as having said in sympathy for the lad, ho passed his hand over his head and faco sovoral times and tapped him on tho back, while some one wos watching from awovo anu re ported tho incident. This, it was de clared on Barry'o bohalf, , was tho whole basis for tho charges. iA. very different story has reached here from officers of tho West Vir ginia. It ifl said that four officers of the Bhlp, having observed, without de tection by tho rear admiral, w'lat thoy assert to be- positive proof of tholr charges, openly demandod his resigna tion. Thoy made a roport of tho af fair, and placed it in his hands with a request that ho forward it to Wash ington. Instead, it 'Is said that ho dos troyod tho document and at once ap plied by telegraph for retirement. Tho officers then mailed a dopullcato of the roport to tho navy department at Whelilngton. , , Jn the meantime, Barry succcedod in .minintr his retirement, and Rear Admiral Chauncoy M. Thomas hasti ly summoned from shoro leave at San ta Barbara, California, was ordorod to take charge of tho fleet today.

Now York, Jan. 1C The stock market Is working between two con flicting conditions, viz., a strong tech nical situation, but a somewhat un settled outlook as to natural condi tions. The strength of the situation lies In tho fact that securities are In strong hands, that weak accounts Jiaye been eliminated, that specula tion Is within very moderate propor tion, ihnt nrlee.H of stocks and bonds aro considerably below the high level and that they yield much butter re turns to tho Investor than formerly. Another Imitnrtnnt factor In tho stock market Is tho expected easo In money tor some tlmo to come, arising from tho return or funds from tho Interior and from a lessoned demand tor busi ness purposes. It must also bo taken Into consideration that the big bank ing interests of tho country nre en listed on tho side of higher prices. Their function is to finance the great transportation and industrial organ izations of tho country; and It so happens that our railroads aro in pressing need of large supplies of new capital. This means that many mil lions of new securities will have to be! placed during tho current year: hence ono of the strongest reasons condition ready for the absorption of thkso forthcoming Issues. Such are some of the facts which explain tho present resistance of th" market to uusottllng Influences. On tho other side of tho account thore Is an unsatisfactory bank situation In certain portions of tho country, re sulting from tho otiormous expansion of loans and tho latter's continued ex cess over deposits. It should be sa . d that there ia somo Improvement In the matter of loans owing to the recon conservative attitude of western bankers; bt there Is still a consld orablo strain in certain portions of the interior, arising from cesslyo land speculation. Irrigation schemes and tho Increased borrowings of farmers for buying cattlo and carr' ing crops.

Dy United I'ropn Wlro. Washington, Jnn. IB investigation or the manner of storing coal on Unit cd States battleships Is expected In tho near futurii by ollleois of tho Navy Tho immediate cuuie for such an In qulry Is found In the fact that with in two weeks, explosions recently oc curred In tho coal bunkers of two Iwttleshlps, causing the death of a man In each Instance. They were on the North Dakota and on tho Michi gan. Coal passer Evans, of tho North Dakota died after lingering nearly two weeks from the time of his be ing burned. IJiuJamln McCleary coal passer on the Michigan, died within two days after the accident. Hoth men were Injured while the fleet was In the English' channel. Though such explosions aro not unknown In the Navy, olllccrs are frequently alarm ed at what seems to bo an Increase In their frequency. According to the report of tho Hoard of Inquiry on the North Dakota, coal dust was lespunslhle for tho explo sion on that battleship. Evans de clared that he crawled Into tile bun ker to toko a. nap. Needing a light, he serafeched a match, and the ex plcslon followed, severely burning him. Tho board reported that there was no trace of gas In the hunker. No detailed report on. the Michigan tho clrcumstanees, so far as known, w'e're similar. Lack or ventilation naval oillcers say. is tho dangerous Tactor In bat tleshlp coal bunkers. On most me ships, ir th0 traps are opened and kept open to admit air, water also gotB In. It is well known that water In small quantities, with largo amounts or sort coal, will Induce sPn taneous combustion. The difficulty of tho problem is Increased by the ruct that there Is little choice In placing the bunkers, all must open Into the lire room. Many oillcers are convinced that these recent explosions offer a strong argument for tho adoption of oil burners Tlio danger from coal, thoy cay, Is too groat to bo longer tolerat ed. A monopoly of the manufacture of rumlln Honduras Is held by tho Gov ernmont and the business is conduct ed on tho basis of a very liberal profit, according to a report from Con sill Haebcrlo who attends io me in terests or the United States in tho Itepubllc. Tho Government contracts with distillers In various parts of the country for supplies of rum. One of these Informed Haebeilo that It cost threo cents to produco a bottle con taining 18 ounces. It Is sold to tho Government for i-cvcn cents by the latter distributed among the ultimate consumers at CO cents a bottle. Tlio rum Is called guaio and la made from sugar cane. As to the need of roads Haoborle says: "Ono or Uio enterprising merchants nr Tm-noiiriiiiia said that ho Is nt provont transporting muchlnory to his farm. 20 miles east of tho city. During tho p.ist week the oxon ad vanced three miles. At many places his men had to stop and lis tho road before pi acceding. "To transport heavy machinery to tho San Juanclto mine from Uio coast requires fiom two to two and a half months, sometimes soven weeks from Tegucigalpa to the mine, a distance or 21 miles. For 12 out of three of theso 21 miles the block and tucklo must be 'used, and It takes from 30 to 50 oxen to move a pleco of ma- ehlnorv weighing over fi tons." Haebcrlo also makes somo observa tion on tho Panama hat industry to tills effect: "About tR.ooo of theso hats aro made annually by women of Santa Iiarbaia. Tho palm leaf, from which thoy aro mado, Is called 'Junco'. The most tender loaves are seiecieu uuu exposed to stilpher smoke, moisture, and the rays of tho sun. The price Is about IR cents gold for two dozeju leaves, the amount needed for ono liat. It takes about two weeks to mako an ordinary hat and ono month to mako a lino ono.

FEDERAL FOOD NSPECIORe Seizing Cold Storage Eggs In Now Jersey Caused The Chicago Landslide in Prices.
