ARMY AND NsVY-

The finding Of the court martial in the case
OF Capt. E. p. Meekcr. OF the Marine Corps. has
reached the Nary Department.. Capt. Mecker
was charged with neglect OF duty wbilo in
charge of the Marine Guard OF the cruiser Chi
cago during her recent ernse in South Amcri-
can waters. At La Guayra fur Of his men OBJ
tanned some liquor and got intoxicated. Capt.
Meeker was held responsible for their conduct,
court-mariialed, found guilty of neglect Of
duty, and sentenced by Admiral Walker to
suspension from duty for one year half pay.
Admiral Walker first caused Capt. Meeker TO
be publicly reprimanded on the quarter deck
and then court-martaled. When the court
met Capt. Meeker pleaded as bar to proceed
ngs that he had already been punished by
reprimand. The court decided that the Cap
tain's plea in bar was good but Admiral Wal
ker directed the court to proceed regardless Of
the plea, and it did so, finding the Captain
guilty as charged. The Navy Department
can do nothing in the matter unless Capt.
Meeker appeals from the decision of the court.
Should he do 80 the interesting question to de-
eide is whether not officer can be pun

WE WANT ARTISTS.
Our Government Requires Men to Decorate
the Worlds Fair Buildings.

Our Government Requires Men to Decorate
the Worlds Fair Buildings.
The United States Government proposes to
advertise for artists painters and decorators, in
the same manner that it asks for proposals to
furnish the necessaries for running the various
Departments. This is because the enormous
Government building at the Worlds Fair
grounds at Chicago has to be decorated in order
that its barniike interior may not be utterly
bare and desolate in appearance. Conse-
quently the Government board has turned the
matter over to the Supervising Architect and
ked him to invite bids from artists for the
work. This Mr.. Edbrooke will at once proceed
to do.
"Of course" Mr.. Edbrooke said recently,
eve must treat this matter just as we would
anything else. The law makes no distinction
between art and plumbing. We shall advertise
in the newspapers aud invite the artists to
come up with their plans and estimates for the
work, just as we would ask the plumbers
But do you think the great decorative ar
lists will respond to an advertisement"
"Well," was the reply. 1--WE shall send ont
circulars to the more famous artists and invite
their attention to the matter. First Of all, We
will determine what the limit Of cost is to be,
and then We will confne the bids to that figure.
When it comes to making the decision we will
have to take every thing into consideration.
The lowest bidder might merely suggest q
plain unattraclive plan, with only the adyan-
tage of cheapness to recommend it. The award
will not necessarily go to the lowest bidder,
but to the artist who proposes to give the best
design aud effect within the limit named. 1t
may be-" added Mr.. Edbrooke, "that in the
competition which the public advertisement
will excite some hitherto Junk known genius may
make his appearance and carry of the prize"

THE IMMIGRATION QUESTION.
President Harrison's' Order VIII be Er
forced Next Spriny,

President Hafrisohs' Order VIII be En-
forced Next Spring.
Secretary ofthe Treasury Foster said last week
that there WAS no foundation for the impress
sion prevailing in certain parts Of the country
that the Administration had modified its policy
restricting immigration as precaution against
the introduction OF cholera On the contrary
he said that sanitary experts declare that
cholera will undoubtedly reaper in the Spring,
and that ii will bo dangerous for the Federal
authorities to relax their vigilance in keeping
out of the country all persons or merchandise at
all likely 10 carry the germs OF cholera. The
Presidents order Of Sept. /, establishing q 90
day quarantine asaiust all immigrants sailing
from foreign ports 10 the United States after
that date, except in special cases is still in full
force and effect, and Secretary Foster said he
saw 30 prospects OF its modification or repeal, in
view of the possible reappearance of cholera in
Europe.
Under that order immigrants will not be
allowed to land in the United States unless it
can be shown to the satisfaction of the Treasury
Department that they were booked and as
scmbled at the port of departure before Sept. 1.
Under a recent ruling, immigrants are persons
who come to American shores for the purpose
of tax ing up n permanent residence here, and
admission will be denied them regardless of
whether they travel in cabin or Storage.
American citizens and tourists of all classes are
not included in this prohibition. Secretary
Foster said it Was erroneous to suppose that ex-
ceptions had been made in the case of the
steamers EtfuIia and City of Chester. The
passengers Oil these vessels were allowed to
land, because they did not belong to tho pro-
hibitcd class; that is, they were either booked
and assembled prior to Sept. !, or they were
tourists.
As an Indication that the Department does
not propose to reopen the gates to migrants,

had come from Bremen by the steamship We'll
mar, in violation of the Presidents order. He
said that he regretted the hardships imposed
by this action. but he felt that stand must be
taken in the matter. i'll orler that there may be
no room for further misapprehension as to the
policy of the Government. He SAIL it was evil
dent that all inimi grants who were booked and
assembled prior to Sept had reached our
shores before this, and that these now arriving
ere brought by the steamship companies in the
hopo OF evadins the regulations.

IVAN PETROFF BOUNCED.

The Census Agent Who Misled the State
Department Removed from Office.
Superintendent of Census Robert P. Porter
last week discharged Ivan Petrof, the special
agent Of the Census Bureau. who prepared the
reports on Alaska for the 10th and 18th census.
In his letter to the Secretary of the Interior
Mr.. Porter says: Having acquainted myself
with all the facts in relation to this matter,
l regret to say that I see no extennating cir
cumstances, and therefore ask your approval
of my action" Secretary John W. Noble ap-
proved Nj. Porter's action, and PetroF ceased
to be, a Government employe.
Mr. Porter further said that complete his
tory of Petroffs action in regard to the State
Department transaction precludes the SUPPOSE
ton which he had entertained before making
u thorough examination of the case, that Pc
trcff was suffering from mental depression or
insanity.
Prof. James h. Blodget., of the Census
Office, has been placed in charge Of the Alaska
work, and will, after carefully verifying it in
every particular, superintend its final publica-
ton. The accuracy Of this report does not
depend ON Petroff, as many other experts,
special agents. and enumerators were employed.

at tho War Department, it is said, of any con-

for a conflict. From private source. however,
it is learned that Can't. Bourke has frequently
intimated to his friends the suspicion enter

HEAVY AMERICAN ARMoR,
Astonishing Ignorance in England Regard
Ing What is Being Done Here.

Considering the rigid tests to which armor
for Naval vessels has been put In this country.
and the highly successful results which have
invariably attended these tests. and remember
ing the fact that the greatest publicity has been
given to all these trials of she'll against armor,
and that in one instance when tho comparative
merits Of the English, French and American
armor were tested at Annapolis the superiority
Of American armor was thoroughly demon
strated, one would naturally expect the promi-
nent newspapers of London to be somewhat
familiar with the knowledge that American
made armor has no equal. Despite this natural
presumption The Pail Mall Gazette in . recent
edition, says in AL article upon American Naval
shipbuilding:
"Ironclsds can be built readily enough, but
armor for them cannot be produced in the
country, and the Americans are too proud 10
purchase it in Europe"
This in the face of the fact, which is we'll
known in France, Germany, and Italy, ut least,
and it was thought in England also, that two
manufacturing firms in this country. the Beth
lehem and Carnegie Companies, particularly
the former, are making AZ heavy armor as is
made anywhere, and of higher grade in quail.
ity and ni5h than any made in England.
Ten years ago Secretary Chandler WAS COM
PEELED to buy in England the compound armor
for the Miantonomoh and the for:inss for the
larger sizes Of built-up guns, because the steel
oi bulS country COHiH not Uhhb
such large plates and forgings At that period
the statement that we could not produce armor
for ironclads would properly apply. But as
soon as tho manufacturers of the country
awakened to realization of the fact that the
people desired and that Congrcss would author
ize the construction Of q reasonable number OF
modern steel vessels and guns-in other words,
as soon as there was tangible demand for such
sHpply-two plants were established az rapidly
as money and energy made it possible; and
while there has been some delay in the de-
livery of armor plates, owing to various causes
many of which were unavoidable forgings for
the highest caliber which the Army and Navy
are to use have been promptly delivered, tested.
and accepted. Within the last week train Of
FIVE cars took from the Bethlehem Works to
Cramps Shipyard at Philadelphia FIVE diagonal
14-inch armor plates for tbs battleship Massa-
chusetts. A monster ingot weighing "a tons,
which, when completed, will form plate for
the sides of the Indiana, is now in course of
preparation at the works of the same Company.
1t is but natural, therefore, for Americans to
resent such statements as the one quoted from
TIE Pail Mall Gazette. and refer with great pride
to the vast progress made in this country in the
development Of armor and great gun forg:ngs.

THE BERING SEA CASE,
A Consultation of Experts at the State De-
paFtncEt.

partncnt.
Mr.. Tinglc, agent for the North American
Fur Company, was at the Department of State
all day Saturday, Nov 10, in consultation with
the experts who are preparing the Govern
ment case in the Boring Sea arbitration.
Mr.. Tingle is fully equipped with facts and
figures relating to the sealing industry and
from his past experience as Special Treasury
agent at the seal islands. and his present con-
nection with the sealing company is re-
garded as an authority upon the subject.
Probably because of the perversion of figures
by Mr.. Petrof the preparation of the American
counter case has been somewhat delayed, but
some correspondence between the Department
of State and the British Foreign Office is now
in progress which may facilitate the matter.
and there is still period of several weeks
available for the completion of the counter case
before the date fixed in the treaty for its de-
livery.
