NAVY YARD EMPLOYEES.
They Complain of the Delay In Getting
Their Pay.

They Complain of the Delay In Getting
Their Pay.
Tho Christmas pleasures Of large number
of the employees of the Washington navy yard
are marred to a considerable extent by the
fact that they did not receive their pay for
the first half Of December until today.
Under the regulations these employees are
paid their monthly salaries in two INSTALL
ments, but not for several DAYS after il
Is due. The days selected for payment by
the department are the 10th and 25th of each
month. The payment made on the 10th is for
the last half of the previous month and the
payment on the 25th is for the first half OF the
same month. This practice is satisfactory to
the men, except in case those dates cover
holidays, when they naturally desire
the date of payment advanced day
or two. The grievance of the
men is that on Thanksgiving Cay. which fell on
November "a, and the present Christmas the pay
ments were DELAYED in the case Of many OF them
so that the money could not be utilized for the
holidays. One OF the men, talking to STAR
man today, said that at Thanksgiving one-half
OF the men were paid on the 23d, but the re-
mainder had to wait until the 25th
and that the same state of affairs
exists with regard TO Christmas--the first batch
having been paid Yesterday and the balarc
having to wait until today, too late he asserted
to make their holiday purchases with advan-
tage. There are about thousand men en-
ployed at the navy yard and it usually takes
about two days to pay them off.
WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE?
STAR reporter was informed at the Navy
Department that this matter was entirely in the
hands of the commandant Of the yard and the
paymaster on duty there. who naturally may
have supposed that they are bound by the
dates fixed by the regulations. 1t was ex-
planned, however. that they had certain dis
erection in the matter. under which they
might have advanced the day OF pay
ment without being subject to official criticism
This was done by the commandant OF the
Boston navy yard last Thanksgiving day and
the transaction has never been complained Of
1t was a simple matter. Representative Lodge
of Massachusetts asked the payr1aster general
of the navy TO have the men paid before
Thanksglvingif possible, and he merely repeated
the request to the officer charged with the dis
bursement Itisargued that the local paymaster
did the best he could in view of the circum-
stance that no change in the usual practice had
been requested. Again, it i. possible that the
paymsster may have been delayed in getting
his funds from the treasury. which is known
to be not an altogether uncommon occurrence.

BURNED THEM ALIVE.
The Act That Caused the Present Trouble

The Act That Caused the Present Trouble
on the Mexican Border.
Secretary Elkins and Gen. Schofied had a
conference at the War Department this after
noon In regard to the condition of affairs
along the Rio Grande with view to the
speedy settlement Of existing lawless-
ness. Capt. John G. Bourke, third
cavalry. Who has been stationed at Fort
Rinsgold for several years and who is
thoroughly familiar with the state of affairs has
been summoned to Washington to confer with
the authorities and will probably reach here
Monday.
An army officer stationed in Texas has written
a letter to friend in this city, in which he
pictures the situation as follows: "Entoreio

then killed four others with bullets and
wounded seven. besides taking number of
prisoners and fifty horses with saddles, carbines
and ammunition and escaped back TO Texas in
broad daylight. This is the official report of
Gen. Bernardo Regro. You can infer from
TINS one incident that our experiences
during the present winter are not exu-
berantly pleasant. The War Department, how
ever. did nothing for us. We had no guides,
no interpreters, no pack train (until q late
date), no canned meats. which could be used
without cooking-nothing.

them-no blankets but our saddle blankets
and everything else the same way. But
We busted them up in fine shape and had

Mans Microscopic Friends.

From the American DruRgis
The advances in sanitary and therapeutic sci
ence have placed methods at our disposal
whereby disease may be warded of, but il was
not until Ellie Mentschikoff elaborated and pro.
mulgated his theory as to the functions Of the
leucocytes that IL became known that in his
fight for life man possessed host Of active and
aggressive allies. In the bodies Of all verte-
brates. in addition to the cells constituting the
animal tissues, there are q number Of free cells.
embracing white corpuscles of the blood and
lymph and the so-called wandering cells Of the
tissues.
These are known a. leucocytes, Of which four
varieties have been described, the distinctions
being based chiefly on their nuclei. All the
leucocytes have the distinctive characteristic Of
simple amebe. They protrude pseudopodia
or feelers, they move about and are endued to
high degree with . capacity for ingesting al
kinds Of small grsnules, including various
smaller micro-organisms. the constituents of
which are assimilated by the protoplAsm Of the
ieucocytes. Sometimes, however, the smaller
micro-organisms remain alive within the leu
cocytee, and when exposed to conditions favor
able to the smaller and unfavorable TO the
larger organisms, the smaller develop and are
set free. In some cases the leucocytes expel
the invading bacteria through the skin, causing
the phenomena Of Transportation.
The act and efficiency Of the leucocytes are
closely dependent upon the health of their host.
IL the host be narcotized or be subjected TO
cold or shock the leucocytes lose their eff
cheney and the host also loses immunity from
infectious diseases.
Upon these facts Mentschikof has based his
theory that the leucocytes act IL a defensive
army, repelling the attacks of noxious microbes,
and this theory Offers an explanation Of phe-
nomena otherwise inexplicable. Is, for instance,
the great difference in the great susceptibility
to infectious diseases among persons who are
submitted to the same degree Of danger Of in

There were nearly 400 Of these tickets and
they were given to the persons who were really
IN need. Last night more than hail Of them
we're mailed TO persons whose addresses were
known and some of them were saved for de-
serving ones whose addresses had not been fur

Early this morning Mr.. Stuart was AZ the

his labors. which have already made hundreds
OF children well as older persons happy.
Halt a dozen school boys were on hand to assist

putting them aside to the different sections to
make the work Of delivery systematic
and easy. Then the toys from santa

mation just Issued.
The President has issued , proclamation re-
serving for timber and fish culture purposes the
Island of Afognak, Alaska. and its adjacent
rocks and territorial waters, including the Sea
Lion rocks and Sea Otter Island
The Secretary Of the Interior and the com.
missioner of fish and fisheries, under the d.
rection OF the President. have investigated this
subject. and finding that he had the authority
oy law strongly recommended that the action
should be taken.
The commissioner of fish and fisheries has se-
lected Afognak bay and Asognak river. lake and
the tributaries thereof, with mile of land from
the shores OF the river and lake for the purpose
OF fish culture under the statut to horizing him

few in number, will be protected in
whatever rights they might have under the
Russian treaty. This reservation is one
OF the most important yet made. The
salmon and trout crowd the Afognak river
at the breeding season, so much as to actually
press some out upon the shore and there is no
doubt that by preserving it it will become a
breeding place for all the other waters of
Alaska. and the different rivers
OF the United States in all
the future; whereas if it had been left to the
depredations already commenced upon it the
fisb there, as they have elsewhere in the United
States, would become utterly exterminated.
There isl prospect that the sea otter may
also be preserved there, and it may be other
sea animals. This is beginning of a series of
reservations in this direction that will preserve
the fish and animals Of the sea az have been
preserved the deer, elk, buffalo and other ami
mails of the United States in the national
parks.
Prof. Langley some years ago recommended
generally such reservations: and Mr. Living
ston, under Commissioner Macdonald, drew
attention to this island. Assistant Attorney
General Shields gave the opinion that this res
ervation lis according to law.
Interesting as these reservations are at this
time they will be much more thought of in fu-
tnre years. The action of the Interior Depart
ment and the fish commission: and particu-
larry the President, effecting this first import
ant act. is noteworthy, in connection with tn 0
other national preserves already made.

TABLE ETIQUETTE IN JAPAN.

Some of the Customs Which Have to BE
Obeyed In Mikado Land.
From Food.
In Japan the usual dinner hours are 4, 6 and
7. As soon as the guests are seated on the mats
two and sometimes three small, low, lacquered
tables are brought to each. On the one imme-
diatelv in front Of him the guests finds seven
little colored bowls with next his left hand rice
next his right fermented bean soup, the others
containing fish, roast fowl, boiled meat, raw
fish in vinegar and a stew of vegetables. On
the second table will be five other bowls, con-
sisting Of two soups Zone Of carp), more raw
fish, fowl and kurage-a kind of jelly fish. The
third, o very small table, should hold three
bowls Of baked shell fish, lobster and fish soup.
Except at great set feasts a beginning is made
with the rice, and here the etiquette is very
strict, and as complicated as the old forfeit
game. "Here's the health to Cardinal Puff :"
Take up the chopsticks with the right hand,
remove the cover Of the rice bowl with the
same hand, transfer it to the left and place it
to the left OF the table. Then remove the cover
of the bean soup and place it on the rice cover.
Next take up the rice bowl with the right
hand. pass it to the left and eat two mouthfuls
with the chopsticks and then drink (the word
drink must be used here) once from the soup
bowl. And so on with the other dishes, never
emitting to eat some rice between the mouthfuls
Of meat, fish, vegetable or soup. Rice wine
es.around from the beginning of the meal
The most trivial breaches Of etiquette are I'M
pardonable sins, and they are gibbeted by GER
tain names. One is drinking soup Immediately
on receiving bowl of it without first deposit
ing 1t on the table; another is hcsitatng whether
to eat soup. drink soup or eat something else;
third is after eating OF one dish to begin on
another without going back to the rice. For
| cakes the guest must be provided with pieces
OF paper ed hoe. He should pick up the cake
with the chopsticks. place it in apiece Of paper,
break it in two and est the right piece first.
These minutie are nothing to those Of tea
place at noon, and the ritual Of which was fixed
by master Of the artwho nourished in tho
