ALBION RULES THE WAVE
But She Does Not Molest any Other
Power That is Her
Equal.
Hence Uncle Sam Has Nothing to
Fear From Her Very
Costly Navy.


WASHINGTON, March 6.-The article con-
trlbuted to the New York Truth by ex-Sen-
ator ingalls,, which has created much COM
ment, IS in substance as follows: "The an
nual shrek about our defenseless coasts,
and the bombardment of New York, Phila-
delphia and Boston have not been omitted,
a yearly pamphlet describing the blood
curdlinR incidents and appalling conse-
quences of war with Chill and Spain in
l9O6 has been sent to each senator and
representative in congress. Editorial esti-
mates in the metropolitan press of the
amount of property within reach of an
Italian n-clad in the lower bay, and the
ransom that could be extorted from mer-
chants and bankers, have all been SUBJ
mitted and filed away for use again in 1892.
Ihelf purpose is to reconcile the peoule
TO the passage of the naval ap-
preparation bill. and to enormous and
prohigate expenditures in time of peace for
ships, fortlications and munitions of war.
Inc capacity of the United States to create
navy IN an emergency was demonstrated
in the rebellion. The duel between the
monitor and Merrimac in Hampton Roads
revoiutionized naval warfare, and the
problem since has been to construct nm
armor that no projectile could penetrate.
ana then to invent projectiles that no
armour could resist. European nations
nave been conducting these expensive ex-
periments hitherto, and the ships of 1880
are already antiquated. Dynamite and
other explosives complicate the situation.
and the navy We are now building at a cost
of $50 900 will be as worthless in 1900 as
Roman galleys. England, France and italy
would gladly sell us their fleets at so per
cent. of their cost.
s'Ihe millions we are squandering on ves-
sells had better be spent for earthworks nd
powerful guns to command every roadbed.
channel and harbor which hostile fleet
conld threaten or assail. Is there any ne
cesslty for spending millions every year for
naval defense? Our policy is pacific. Our
only enemy is England, and she is under
bond to keep peace. No other nation is so
incurred the resentment of the human race
by @sltur'e~ OF injustice. England kicked
us when we were helpless and feeble. She
sacked and burned our defenseless capital.
She kicked Ireland, she kicked Egypt. she
kicked the Hindoos, Zulus Beers, Chinese,
put she IS not In the habit of kicking her
equals. In our civil war she did all
she could short of open hostility to DESTROY
the union, and then apologized and paid
damages. Lately we had another conten-
tion about seal poaching and the Bering sea.

Sterling
S|LYERV ARE

Sterling Silverware is synony-
NOUS with elegance. Wherever
you find one you usually find the
other. It is sought after more and
more as the world grows older.
The silversmiths of to-day produce
handsomer things than were ever
thought of twenty-five years ago,
and for much less money. Ma.
chinery and improved methods
have wrought the change. Once
the silversmith was an artist in
the highest sense OF the word.
Now the artist knows nothing of
the hammer or blowpipe He sim
ply designs his work and turns it
over to the virtual silversmith, a
mere workman, and a thousand
duplicate patterns are made for the
delight of as many uses, at price
never possible under the old re.
gime.

ONE CALLED, THE OTHER TAKEN.

Senate Roll.

Beattic, OF Idaho, Hung Up--Dubois on the
Senate Roll.
WASHINGTON, March CA queer sompli-
cation surrounds the question of United
States district judge for Idaho. The presi.
dent appointed Mr.. Beattie for the place.
He failed of confirmation. The point has
been made that as this is u new office, it
can only be filled by and with the advice
and consent of the senate, and the presi-
dents attompt to fill it having failed he
cannot appoint man now and have him
serve until the senate can act on the nomi-
nation. Under this view no vacancy such
as the president in authorized to fill until
the senate can pass upon itexists. Another
view is that the vacancy is within the
meaning Of the law. that he has to fill any
vacancy. The question is under oonsidera-
tion at the department OF justice.
An important step has been taken in the
settlement Of the contest over the seat of
Senator Dubois, of Idaho. His name has
been put ON the roll of senators and he will
receive his pay as duly elected United States
senator from that state. Senator Edmunds
says law and precedent sustain this action.

VICTORY FOR THE MEN.
Coal Miners in Pennsylvania Win Their
Long Contest

Coal Miners in Pennsylvania Win Their
Long Contest
P1rTsBuRe, Pa, March6.-The long strike
OF the coal miners of the Monongahela val
ley, ended in complete victory for the
men. This morning the operators decided
to concede the demands of the strikers for
an advance in the mining rate of one half
cent per bushel, and the men will resume
work on Monday. The strike was one Of
the longest and most determined ever
known in this section. 1t lasted ten weeks,
and 5000 men lost in wages alone over
$1,OOO,OO0. The absence of this great sum
of money from the valley caused actual
suffering among not only the miners and
their families. but to great majority of
other persons dependent, directly or indi-
rectly upon the mining of coal for liv-
ing. Besides, the miners strike affected
an army of other laborers.

Invented bv n Jap for Use In Making

CHICAGO, March 6.--'rhe Takamine Fer
ment company has been organized by the
whisky trust to exploit the new process of
whisky making invented by Japanese
chemist. The company has increased its
capital stock to $l0.0o0,00O. The salient
point i'll the process is the microbe or fer
ment cell, of superior power, produced
from fungus growth on rice. It's use per-
mits the completion of fermentation in
forty-two hours, as againt seventy two
heretofore, besides greatly cheapening it
and enlarging the volume of production
from like quantity of grain. A calcula-
tion based on the output of maltsters, brew
ers. distillers and others using ferments
makes the yearly value of the discovery
equivalent to $23. 100000
