Especial to THE WORLD.

Especial to THE WORLD.
WASHINGTON. November 30.-+-It has
been decided by the Navy Department
tn at the double-turretted monitor
Miantonomoh, which is regarded as
one Of the most formidable vessels in
the new navy, shall not leave Ameri-
can waters this winter. 1t is believed
that she will be stationed at New York.
Admiral Walker left to-day for
New York. He is on his way to South
America to take command Of the Bos-
ton, and will receive instructions while
en- route regarding the work and dis
position of the squadron. 1t is be-
lieved that he will 60 to Brazil and
meet the Boston there.
In naval and diplomatic circles these
facts have aroused interest tonight.
They are regarded as significant to the
attitude of the administration towards
the Gillian Government, for the Man
tonomoh is believed to be the only
available ship able to cope with the
formidable Captain Pratt Of the CHILEAN
navy. Thus, all apprehension of fur
ther difficulty with Chill is thought to
be at an end.

WASHINGTON. December 2.-Presi-
dent Harrison's message to Congress
viii probably be delivered to that body
on next Tuesday, barring incidents
and accidents. Congress convenes on
the first Monday IN December Of each
year, but it has been the custom for
the President not to send his message
till the second day of the session, as
the first day is consumed in organiza-
ton
About one thousand copies Of, tie
message win be sent to Congress. 1t
will be printed in long primer type,
loaded. twill be on heavy calendered
paper, and put together with steel
mvets and bound in heavy paper.
Copies of the message will be laid upon
the desk of each senator and repre-
sentative just before the reading clerk
begins to read the message, SO that it
may be optional with the Legislators
whether they get the information in
the message by listening to the read
ing or by retiring from the hall Of the
Senate or House and perusing the
copy individually. The large majority
of both houses prefer to listen to the
reading of the message, as it is much
easier to comment on, and digestation
can come naturally by that process.
This message Of the President is ex-
Fpected to be quite lengthy. Beside a
stringency in the money market which
has been felt throughout the country,
there have been complicated diplomatic
negotiations in progress and extensive
reciprocity work done. These will re-
quire much space in the message.
There are great many questions the
President will have to treat, and many
recommendations will be necessary
upon the facts which the Chief Exc
cutive will recite. Then we are on the
threshold Of an important political
campaign, and everybody naturally
demands the fullest possible informa-
ton and opinion.
Mr.. Harrison will, doubtless, refer to
the benefcent effects of the Mckinley
bill. In his message last year, it will
be remembered, Mr.. Harrison took
the ground that time and fair trial
would show its wisdom, and his state
ment has been entirely borne out. 1t
is not unlikely that he may throw out
hint that the Mckinley law author
ICES the President to reimpose certain
duties against countries which have
not as yet granted the United States
reciprocal trade advantages. In this
connection, too, reference will doubt
less be made to the removal of the
Recommendations by certain European
nations on some Of our agricultural
products notably pork and the ex-
cellent prospects for further benefits,

There has been no change or progress of

has builded its nest, the bee its cell, and
the ant its new colony, the pig
mics have survived the lapse of
tyenty-three centuries, and have con-
tinued 10 build their beehive huts after
the same skilless fashion as they built
them in the days when Herodotus recited
the story of his travels before the
council of Athens rs years before the
birth of Christ. The reason of this
is obvious from my point of
view. which is, that the same causes which
operated before the time of Herodotus to

Typewriters and Matrimony.

In all the emancipation movements, and
the enlargement of woman's sphere the
matter of obtaining what is desired by in
direction remains. Why was the typewri-
ter invented? 1t seemed a most innocent
industrial advance and new avenue for
women. And now we hear that the type
writer is more likely to get married than
any other industrial woman. 1t is one of
the most promising of all the indirect WAYS
of escaping from the monotony of single
life. Thus, even in our charging oppor-
tunities, we keep on the old way. The OBJ
ject is still obtained by indirection. II is
no answer to this question. whether
women shall propose, TO say that every
woman can get married who wishes to do
so, and that all history shows this. The
real question is. is she free to marry ac-
cording to her taste and inclination; and
would she be happier, in the majority of
cases, if she could honorably approach
those to whom she is attracted, instead of
waiting to be approached by those who are
attracted 10 her? II is not fair to leave
this question hanging in the air without

the pleasure of wooing.

The most remarkable of Mr.. Kipling's
books, in many ways, is the native volume

dedicated in tender and reverential pre-
face, which reminds one, in tone, of the
Earl of Lytton's dedication of Lucille" to
his father-to Mr.. Kipling's father The
elder Mr.. Kipling is the principal of the art

is just now near his son in London,

seeing, shows face of sweetness and of
power, with snow-white hair and beard.
But did not know until this week, and
by my own observation, that he is a genius
OF the same order as his son.
He has, illustrated the eight stories of
BLACK and White" in a series of about
eighteen large drawings, intended for
some future edition de lure of the book.
These drawings are stories in themselves
and to one who knows the stories lovingly
beforehand, there is perfectly indescrib-
able richness and suggestiveness abo ut
the illustrations of them. Here
IS the ne plus ultra of the SYM
pathetic Interpretation of one art by
another. A novelist could not cherish his
own work more tenderly than the father
has cherished his sons conceptions. and
the elder Mr.. Kipling possesses technical
graphic power of quality to which Thack-
cray never laid claim. In a word, never
before were great stories so illustrated
as they are here. Only a native
OF India can quite fully appre-
clate the drawings or the
stories, but the gems must be obvious to
any beholder. | remember as very mar
ticularly rich, the illustrations to the
Judgment of Dungara," of the model
mission pupil while still a good girl, with
her sweet eyes fixed upon her book, and of
the same pupil in the act of tearing off
her nettle clothes and uttering impreca-
