Washington, Dec. 4.-The annual re-.
Eugene 4. Chamberlain, Is mainly an
argument for FREQ ships, based on the
maritime standing and policies Of the
united States and other nations. Only
six American steamships, including
the New York and Paris, crossed the
Atlantic and only seven the Pacific
last year, while from New York and
Philadelphia alone thirty three steam
ships. mainly new steam vessels,
owned by Americans, crossed regular
ly to Europe under foreign flags. He
says that American enterprise is CEN
tury in advance of the law, for Amcri-
cans own more steamships forbidden
by the registry law to wear American
colors than they own steamships in
foreign trade under the stars and
stripes, and that the admission of such
vessels to American registry is de-
sirable to advance our maritime rank.
In thirty years only one American
steamship has once visited Hamburg,
the greatest continental port, and last
year only two sailing vessels entered
there. Every bushel of grain Which
left New York for Europe last year
was carried under Il foreign flag. OF
11,O00 vessels passing the Sucz canal
In the last three years only six have
been American. Every civilized ma

citizens the use of the national flag

er bought, having learned that other
wise they will buy vessels under for

abandon navigation altogether to for

consequent loss Of maritime prestige

DOUBLE HEADER IN ALABAMA.
The State i'm Enjoyment of Two
Governments.


Governments.
Montgomery. Ala., Dec. 4.-The State
of Alabama for the first time in its
history has two governors ana two
separate sets Of state officers. Col.
Oates and those elected on his ticket
preside at the state house. Capt.
Kolb and his cabinet have not an
nounced their official headquarters.
Saturday was the day fixed by law for
the Inauguration of governor and
state officers. The returns Of the Au-
gust election showed the election Of
the Democratic ticket headed by Col.
Oates, by over $1,000 majority. The
legislature in joint session had regu-
larry counted and announced the re-
suit. Capt Kolb, Oates opponent, the
nominee of the Populfsts, charged
fraud and claimed he had received a
majority of the votes cast, and was the
rightful heir to the governors Office.
He demanded, therefore, to be sworn
in. and was. Surrounded by members
of the legislature and with the usual
p0mp Of military display, Col. Oates
took the oath of Office upon the steps
OF the state capitol, standing on the
very spot on which Jefferson Davis
stood when he was sworn in as presi-
dent of the Southern Confederacy.
Numerous threats had been made by
misguided friends of Capt. Kolb, and
to avoid any possibility Of anything
like violence. as well as to lend spirit
to the occasion, more than twenty COM
panies OF state troops with loaded
cartridges in their belts were present
and participated in the Inauguration
ceremonies, which were, however,
without disorderly events. Capt. Kolb
was not permitted to speak from the
capitol steps, and the captain mounted
q wagon and made speech. He was
afterward sworn in. There was some
excitement but no bloodshed. 1t is
not known what Kolb's plans are.

THE ARMY.
some Changes Are Considered Very
Desirable.

From the report Of the secretary of war
It appears that the strength Of the army
on Sept. 80, 1894, was 2,135 officers and
q, ,7G5 enlisted men. Although this is ap-
parently very slight decrease compared
with the previous year. the actual effectiye
force has been increased to the equivalent
Of nearly two regiments through the re.
organization of the system of recruiting
and the consequent release to regimental
duty Of the large force of men hitherto
serving at the recruiting depOts. The ab0l-
ltion Of these depots, 1t is predicted, will
furthermore effect an annual reduction an
proximating 100000 In the direct expendl-
lures. besides promoting generally the
health, morals and discipline Of the troops.
Increase Its Strength.
While the maximum legal strength Of the
army is 25,O00 men. the effective stength.
for various causes, is but little over 10000
men. The purpose of congress does not
therefore seem to be fully attained by the
existing condition. While no considerable
increase in the army Is In my judgment
demanded by recent events, the policy Of
sea coast fertilization. in the prosecution of
which we have been steadily engaged for
some years. has SO far developed az to Sug-
gest that the effective strength Of the army
be now made at least equal to the legal
strength. Measures taken by the depart
ment during the year as indicated have al
ready considerably augmented the effective
force. and the secretary Of war presents .
ola1 which I recommend to the consideration
Of congress to attain the desired end. Econ
omies effected in the department IN other
lines Of Its work will offset to great extent
the expenditure Involved ip- the pronosition

st. Paul, Dec. 4. - 1t seems very
probable that Mrs. W. II. Souser, Of
24O East Fillmore avenue, this city,
has claim. OH the matrimonial al
lesiance of Clarence W. Clark, the
self-confessed bicycle champion Of the
worlG. Mr.. CLARK lately distinguished
himself and shocked Denver society by
becoming acquainted with Miss Ger
trude Hutchins Of that city and mar
rying her within forty-eight hours
Miss Hutclins' people are wealthy and
she was belle in Denver society. The
claims Of Mr.. Clark were so absurd
that the girl was easily persuaded to
leave him, and he was arrested on a
charge Of stealing her jewelry. Mrs.
Souser saw the accounts Of Mr.. Clark's
methods in the papers, and she be-
lieves that he is none other than the
man she married in this city Nov. 2,
1891. Mrs. Souser Is about thirty
years old. She has been on the stage
and used to do Irish character parts,
for which she is specially gifted by
nature. She has not been on the stage
of late. She firmly believes that Clar-
ence Clark and William Souser are
one and the same person, and she
very much desires to have the scalp OF
the erring one hung in the warden's
office of the Colorado penitentiary.

THE NEW NAVY.
A Gratifying Progress I'm the Con-
structiOn of ships,

Attention is called to the report Of the
secretary Of the navy, which shows very
gratifying progress in the construction Of
ships for our new navy. All the vessels now
building, including the three torpedo boats
authorized at the last session Of congress
and excepting the first-ciass battle-ship
Iowa. will probably be completed during
:ae coming fiscal year
The estimates for the increase of the navy
for the year ending June 30, 1886. are large,
but they Include practically the entire sum
necessary to complete and equip all new
ships not now in commission, so that un-
less new ships are authorized the appro-
priations for. the navy service for the
fiscal year ehding June 80, 1897, should
fall below the estimates for the coming
year Dy ut least Sl2,OO0.O0O.
More Ships Needed.
The secretary presents with much earnest
ness plea for the authorization OF three
additional battle-ships and ten or twelve
toDedO bOats. While the unarmed vessels
heretofore authorized. Including those now
nearin: comp.etion, will constitute a. fleet
which 1t Is believed Is sufficient for ordinary
cruising purposes In time Of peace, We have
now completed and In process of construc-
tion but four tirst-class battle-ships and but
Few torpedo boats. If we are to have
navy for warlike operations. offensive and
defensive, we certainly ought to Increase
