who served his country should be condemn
ed to the pOorhouse, or that his widow
should be. 1t is just as intolerable that
he should be compelled to go there for
any portion of his support Fancy this
great Government chafTering and hsggliug
with Counties and Townships as to whether
it shall pay one-quarter or one-half of the
cost of support of bFoken-down soldier or

ton giving monthly dole of a few cents to
its decrepit defenders.
Col MatsOn's scheme was a trick, sham
an insult to the intelligence and the suf
ferings of the veterans.
There was none of this mean, parsimonious
measuring out and subdividing in their gifts
to the country. They gave all they could,
without reservation. The man who was
broken down by three months campaigning
gave all he could He had no more. If he
died six months after his enlistment he was
just as dead as he would have been at the
end of three years. The loss to his wife and
family was just as great. He did not break
down or die of his own yolition. lie Is not
to be punished because he could not stand
it months or years longer. His widow is
not to be mulcted. They gave all they had,
and gave it generously. Having received
all this, and profted enormously by it, it is
disgraceful in the Nation to offer them in
return less than decent support.
But wretchedly meager and insufficient as
was the relief offered by Matson's mangling
amendments, it is clear now that he never
intended that even that much should be
granted the veterans. There can be no de
nying that he never intended that the bill
| should come to vote. He stood obstinatsly
in the way of any vote being taken on it OF

ing that had he allowed the bill to come up
for discussion, the friends of the veterans II

Luke Keane Falls Down an EIe-

The Tribune building, Minneapolis,
was the scene of a terrible accident
about 2 o'clock this morning. About
that time Luke Keane, pro-

Washington avenue south, started
for the Tribune, accompanied by Pat
Callahan, the ex-deputy sheriff, to learn
the result of prize fight

Mr.. Armstrong were called, and when
they arrived Keane was still alive and
conscious. His back was bloken Just
below the shoulders. He recognized
this fact, and begged the surgeons
to save him, saying he was not ready to
die. Nothing could be done for
the unfortunate man, and he
died twenty minutes after he
fell. Coroner Toners was notified. and
after examining the body ordered it
removed to COnnOlly'S mOrgue.
where an inquest will be held

WINNIPEG, Man., Oct. 26.-To-day was
spent in legal battle in law courts, all
the leading talent in the city being ell
gagged in fighting the case to which the
Provincial government and the Cana
dian Pacific railway are parties. Argu-
mentS had not been concluded when an
adjournment was taken, but judging
from the observations of Judge Avery
during the progress Of the case, there is
no doubt that the injunction restraining
the government from crossing the Can
adian Pacific railroad will be dissolved.
The government have made full prepa-
rationS for this contingency and have a
large force of special cOnStableS and
volunteers from different parts of the
province prepared to rush to the scene
local force, 400 navvieS working OH the
Northern Pacific are reported to be COM
ing to the city on a special train. They
will be kept out OH the track in an isO-
lated place until all is ready, when
they will be rushed forward to the
scene of action, to force the crossing.
The first encounter of the forces oc-
cured last evening on the Glenboro
branch, when Supt. Whyte, with 800
employees, forced the governments
special constables from the track. and
then carried away the diamond. Blows
were freely exchanged, showing the
spirit which actuates the men. Sympa-
thy continues to run strongly in favor
of the government, and citizens are
waking up to the fact that they must

cate that the Canadian Pacific railway

to force the company to terms. The
strain cannot last much longer and
crisis will certainly be reached to-mOr-

to enlarge the case. Opinions of large

the province is unit against the Cana

months past has been around, appar-
emily as we'll mentally and physically as
he ever was. The wound discharged
matter for some time, but finally healed
up. Yesterday. while walking on the

by cOmatose condition. When reused
from this, he had renewal of convul-
sions. The case is one Of the most eX
traordinary on record, AND is watched

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-Admiral ID.
ID. Porter has made his annual report to
the secretary of the navy. He SAYS he
regards sailing vessels as the best prac-
tice ships aft at: he wants the enlist
ment law changed so apprentices may
be shipped for ten years; the appren-
tice system is one of the best features of
the navy, and in that connection the re-
port runs thus: ''The crews of our
ships are generally made up of sailors
from every part of the world, but most
ly of the Scandinavian race, good reli-
able men in time of peace, who care
little under what flag they sail. They
come and enlist in our navy, softened
in character. it is true. but they are the
same free-lanceS as of old. They ship
for money. They have no sentiment for
our flag or nationality, and possibly,
if it came TO all action with
a ship of their own or neighboring
nation, they would haul down the
American cOlOrs and hoist their own.
This is contingency against which we
should provide, and we have the means
of doing so through the vast number of
American boys who are roaming the
streets at will and who would consider
government
EMPLOYMENT A BOON.
What is required is larger number
Of native born apprentice boys and an
enlargement of the cOnveniences for
their Introduction into the service"
On the subject of torpedOes the admiral
says: The torpedo, no doubt, can be
made a powerful adjunct to other naval
appliances, but as matters now stand
the torpedo would be comparatively
useless against heavily armOred ships
with power guns, which would hold
their own Notwithstanding they might
be hampered with nets enough to keep
out a whole torpedo. Great ships
with great guns will command
the situation. and having once
effected an entrance into the harbor,
can, by aid of their electric lights, send
party of divers to the bottom and cut
the wires connecting submerged mines.
Our country, more than any other.
stands in need of torpedo vessels of
from 900 to 1900 tons displacement.
until we can get our new navy fairly
started. This class of vessel could be
built much more rapidly than the
cruiser or armor-clad, their batteries to
be not larger than six-inch rifles and
filled with machine and rapid-fring
guns. No matter whether we bring
dynamite shells and torpedo vessels to
perfection or not, our policy lies in
building fast cruisers and heavy armor-
cladS like the Puritan, Maine and
Texas. These are the heavy artillery
which in all battles have decided the
contest and will continue to do so, for
the ingenuity of man will always con-
trive some plan to protect the prime
factors. the great ships from the annoy
anceS of small frV.
