HERBERT SPEAKS.

The anniversary of the Boston tea party was
celebrated by the Sons of the American Reyo-
linton in New York. Secretary Herbert at
tended the banquet in the evening. and was
one of the principal speakers. La the course
of his remarks he said that the time had come
when patriotic Americans were beginning again
to be proud Of the American Navy. He said ::
I'VE are A Republics. each with its distinct
i've Government, its separate history. its pecu-
liar traditions. its local prejudiccs; each more
or less Jealous Of its rights aud its authority,
but altogether we one grand Republic of
which the Navy of the United States is the
right arm, carrying aoft our flag to the remot-
est nations of the earth, emblem Of the
might and majesty of 100000 of united free
men,"
He traced the history of the Navy to the
late war, aud then said:
"Out of the throes of that great conflict were
born the swift commerce destroyer, the tor
pedo the great gun and mighty batleship of
TO day The shock Of the battle of the Merri-
mae aud the Monitor in Hampton Roads re-
sounded around the earth. 1t kindled the fires
in the workshops OF Europe. All the naval
powers of the world went to work to manuf.c-
ture armOr that could not be pierced, then guns
that could not be resisted. then torpedoes that
no vessel could stand. then vessels That could
catch and could not be canght And SO, in
vention contending with invention, modern
navies came into existence"

QUAsHING INVESTIGATION.
The McCreary Resolution "Goes" Instea
of those by Republican Members.

The McCreary Resolution "Goes" Instead
of those by Republican Members.
In the rooms of the House Committee On
Foreign Affairs after some discussion, there
were tabled the resolutions of Mr. Boutelle. of
Maine, condemning the action of the present
Administration in the Hawaiian matter, and
reported substitute for them condemning the
landing of troops at the time the Queen was
dethroned and the action Minister Stevens took
in the matter.
Chairman McCreary's resolution was adopted
as q substitute for the Hit resolution, offered
fortnight ago, and the resolution of Mr.. Bou-
telle of recent date.
The resolutions were referred to a sub-com-
mittee consisting of Chairman McCreary, Mr..
Hooker and Mr. Geary, Democrats. and Messrs.
Hit and Draper, Republicans. Owing to the
absence of Mr.. Hit from the city, he requested
that Mr.. Storer, of Ohio. another Republican
member of the committee, be permitted to
represent him. This the Chairman declined to
agree to, but Mr.. Storer was permitted to be
present at the subcommittee meeting as a
matter of courtesy.
There was brief discussion over the two
resolutions, which was ended by Mr.. McCreary
Offering a substitute therefor, which was
adopted by strict party vote. The subcom-
mittee then reported the substitute to the full
committee, and again it was carried by a
partisan division.
Mr. Storer thereupon offered the following
resolution. embodyiug the views of the
minority. as a substitute for the Chairman's
substitute. This, too, was defeated by q strict
party vote. Mr.. Storer's resolution was as fol.
lows:

gress disclose that the Executive Department has
been furnishing to Minister Plenipoientiary oil
the United States secret instructions to conspire
with the representatives and agents OF deposed
aud dscredted monarchy for the overthrow of q

by all civilized nations, to which said Minister was
accredited, and to which his public instructions

States;
Resolved That IL is the sense of this House that

Lord; and one day the boys went out in the
country and picked up a sheep that had been
killed by the dogs and brought it into town
with them. They did this after dark. Taking
the sheep to the school-room, they put it in
through the window and crawled in after it.
Then they tied it in the teachers chair so that
its front feet just rested on the desk and its
face looked soberly ont over the school-room.
Upon its nose they fastened the teac hers spec

ARMY AND NAVY.

The House Committee on Military Affairs has
authorized the President to appoint Gen. Geo.
S. Green to the rank OF First Lieutenant of
Artillery aud to place him on the Retired List
at that grade. Gen. Green, who is the oldest
graduate of West Point, is living peacefully in
Morristown, N. j., with his widowed daughter.
He was born 81 years ago in Apponogue, l.. J..
He entered West Point in 1919. For II years
he served in the 4th U. s. Art, and when the
rebellion broke out. although over 90. he went
TO the front as Colonel OF the 10th N. Y. When
peace was declared, he returned to New York
City and devoted himself TO civil engineering.

Upon its disbandment he re-enlisted in the Both

1892, when he was placed on the Retired List
with the rank of Captain.
The approaching retirement OF Maj. Gen.
Schofeld. now military head of the United
States Army, is a source of regret. This old
war horse has made the most favorable impress
sion whenever it has been necessary to show
in semi-social way how fine the American
soldier can look compared with the foreign
article. Rarely do Uncle Sans officers acquire
such prestige in society as has Gen. Sehofeld.
At the same time, he remains very popular
| with the rank aud file of the Army, for the
amelioration Of many hardships they had to
| endure is due to his influence. 1t has been
| thought that the General will join the military

anyone is destined to make that announcement

will, it is felt, have much to accomplish before
any comparison can be made between him and

fact that so many clever people are trying
to relieve tho situation would argue that it
needed relieving. The Russian waltz has been
suggested. to give peace to polite hostesses ana
weary wall flowers. The etiquet of this waltz
demands that man choose twelve partners
for it, and dance with each in turn. So one
man wonld do for twelve girls without much
hesrt-burning If he had to get them all ices,
and walk with them all in the conservatory
for few minutes, or fan them on the stairs
he might not appreciate the beauties of the
latest waltz so much as those whom he benefits
