WASHINGTON, March 20.-Ona of the
most popular features of the coming
quadro-centennial celebration in honor
OF the discovery of America is the pro-
posed grand review of navies of the
world in Hampton Roads and New York

lected, but received an impetus by the
organization of Board of Promotion OF
citizens. Hon. J. l.. NJ. Currev, Presi-
dent OF the board, says their work will e
to secure the cooperation of Boards OF
Trade and cities of the Atlantic and gulf
coast and necessary legislation by Con-

Army AND NAVY.

q eneraI Miles Throws Out Some Hints
AS to Their Present Condition.
WASHINGTON, March 20.-General Nell
son A. Miles, in an interview, speaking of
The army, navy and national guard, said:
" n proportion to our wealth and popula-
ton, the army has been reduced to the
extreme minimum. It is small but most
e Iicient, In intelligence, courage and pat
riotism it will compare favorably with any
III the world. The same may be said of
the national guard. Yet in order to have
them properly equipped and prepared,
one of two things must be done; either
the press of the country must tell the
plain truth and educate the public mind
up to our real condition and necessities.
or we must meet some disaster that NAV
check our progress and burden us with a
national debt that would last for another
generation.
TOO much is expected of our navy. II
is ludicrous to think of holding the navy
responsible for 1900 miles of frontier.
The fortifiCations will some day receive
from the American people the considera-
tion that such deienses deserve. The
necessity for some mobilization of the
regular army and national guard must be
apparent to every thinking man. The
object of the national encampments to be
held in August, 1898, will be to promote
the efficiency of the national guard. to
give the officers experience in the hand
ling of large bodies of troops and promote
a fraternal feeling between State troops
from all parts of the country

LEGISLATIVE BRIBERY.

Money Freely Used to Pass a Bill Le-
galizinG Trust.
New YORK, March 20.-Last Friday
ruption fund of at least S3,000,0 600 raised
by interested capitalists and stock-job-
bers to bunco the passage of bill legal
izing the coal combination of the Read
ing railroad. To-day the Herald returns
to the subject, and states that ''not
more than half Of the hideous secret
is laid bare. There was bribery, and
enormous bribery at that. Proof Of it
was furnished on the word Of State SEN
ator Maurice Alexander Rogers OF Camp
ton County, and his word will be ac-
cepted unquestioningly from one end of
the State to the other"
Senator Rogers of New Jersey, in an
interview at Camden, is quoted as saying
that at 1880 A. NJ. the day the bill passed
he was offered and refused $4,000 for his
vote on the bill. The agent returned and
offered more than $4,000, though Rogers
does not state the exact figures. Senator
Rogers was asked to expose the man who
tried TO bribe him. He replied: 1.-The peo-
pie may blame me for Withholding
his name. but L would be caus-
ing greater pain to my feelings
if told it than any public praise could
and saw the bill pass, knowing how
many votes were bought. 1 suspected
bribery before, but then I knew it. 1
was almost stunned, and did not know
what to do. The bill came up, and Sena-
tor Gardner In a speech, showed clearly
that it was most outrageous piece of
legislation, forcing on the people a
monopoly of the necessaries of lie and
providing for an arbitrary contiscation of
the stock Of the shareholders who OBJ
jected. Not word was said on the other
side. They simply voted it through, and
that was the end OF it."

mighty little to work with-at least it has

Why, it's like pulling eye-teeth for
this department to get any help from the
Trustees. The books and criminal records
are away behind, and it would take a
competent clerk the better part of q year
to bring them up TO date. There isn't
help enough, and no way to get it. There

mistake" Referring to his efforts to Sc

Captain said
Look at the fix we are in regarding the
matter of getting drunks to the station.
The Trustees have kicked so about bills
for hauling them that the hackmen and
cabmen will not take drunk unless the
officer puts up the fare. An officer can't
pick up helpless drunken man and
pack him to the police station. All he
can do is to drag him off the sidewalk
into the nearest doorway and let him lie
there. You see these helpless creatures
every night lying about, but there is no
help for it. The dives keep up the supply
right along. 1 have done all in my
power to have the worst dives closed, as
the records Of the Trustees should show.
but it hasn't been done-they all get

Boycott Declared Upon an Alaska
Packing Company.
SAN FRANCISco, March 20.-The, Wah
Zip Hong Society has declared boycott
on the Karluk Packing Company and is
using strenuous efforts to prevent the
Chinese from entering into any contracts
with that company. About 40 Chinese
in Chinatown aver that they have been
unjustly deprived of their last seasons
wages by the Karluk Packing Company,
and are preparing to institute suit for the
recovery of the money. which they claim
was due at the close OF last seasons pack
ing. Wong Ah Yuen, Chinese con-
tractor, drew $1,000 from the Karluk
Company and decamped to Victoria, b.
c., without paying his countrymen he
had employed. The Karluk Company
sent a lawyer to Victoria and used ali
possible means to bring him back to
American soil, but without avail.
Every one of the unpaid laborers held
the company responsible for the con-
tractors doing, and when few day ago
it was learned that HON Wah and Cheung
Ling, two contractors, were enGeavoring
to procure laborers to go to Alaska for
the Alaska Packing Company, Chinese
circles were greatly excited, because it
was claimed that the company was the
Karluk Company under another name
Those out of pocket applied to the Wah
Yip Hong Society, of which most were
members, for redress and special meet
ing was called. As result circular has
been posted on the bill boards of China
town declaring in effect that the COM
paly must pay up before any Chinese
will be allowed to work for it. Friends
OF Chenng Ling and HON Nah attempted
to tear down the posters, but the
'Hatchet" gang of highbnders was
employed to thwart them, and the posters
are still in place.
At the present time the Chinese believe
an engagement to go to Alaska would be
at the cost of their lives.
